-You can craft stick branches however many times you want by cutting down trees and picking up logs. You can get the branch stick blueprint from the 1st and nearest merchant who is located and stationed just to the right side from the starting point/statue waypoint (just keep going to the right and you'll see him and his tent on the beach). For cooking and other crafting, you need to find the 1st merchant and the 2nd merchant (in another area) and purchase blueprints from them.
