There are only 50 golden wrenches left! Let's craft one for FNF!
In case you didn't know: Golden wrenches are a special, incentive item to get people excited for the Engineer update that drops this Thursday, 7/8/2010. A golden wrench is randomly created when crafting items. There are only 100 golden wrenches in total. Anyone who finds a golden wrench will have it announced globablly across all TF2 servers. The user's name will also be enshrined here in the Wrench Log. Wouldn't it be nice for one of our FNF friends to be listed there? You could impress your friends at parties by pulling up the web page on your iphone and saying "do you see wrench owner number 62, Pad See Ew? Yeah, we frag together. Would you like my autograph?" After every 25 wrenches found, Valve will reveal information on a new Engineer item. So spend some time in respawn, ticking off your teammates while you smelt down those 25 extra backburners you found over the last 6 months. It's for a good cause! --BrikHaus --------------------  |

QUOTE(MajorMalfunction @ Jul 6 2010, 10:25 PM)  All I've been making is scrap metal. Update: It turns out the guy who gamed the system got Vac-banned. Maybe there was more to it than timing. Wrench 75 is the next to drop. Get crafting, people! Original message: Well, it turns out that it's not really random. It's on a timer. And someone figured out that timer. Coincidentally it happens to be the same guy who wrote the idling program that was so widely used back when the item drops first started. Oh well, congrats to him for figuring it out. --Brik This post has been edited by BrikHaus: Jul 7 2010, 05:04 PM -------------------- |

Someone needs to help Bat21, he hasn't messed with crafting yet, and has a backpack chock-full of craftable items. If anyone deserves a gold wrench, it is he - Bat21 - that Engy with a vengeance, from TFC and to our present day.

How do you craft items? I have done a token or too, but I have not figured out the scrap metal part. Help anyone? Thanx, Foggy --------------------  "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results" - Bob Brockman |

Thanx, Foggy It's a bit much to get into in one post. Try visiting the TF2 Wiki. It will explain crafting in detail. The wrenches are being distributed about one every hour. There are only 24 wrenches to go! --The Briks This post has been edited by MrsBrikhaus: Jul 7 2010, 08:41 PM -------------------- Mrs. BrikHaus

Apparently the old link that I posted is still up, but is no longer maintained by the same people. It's been littered with pop-up ads and other junk to take advantage of its place in the Google search results.
