Spool ExtenderThe Architect Crest sacrifices its Silk skill by having more red tool slots, and with its ability to craft ammunition for your tools, makes it the best crest to use if your playstyle is focused on using red tools.
For this build, since we're going to be mainly using tools, we want to prioritize getting the Quick Sling, as this lets you double the tools thrown for more damage. You also need tools like the Shard Pendant to get more shards.
The major downside for the Architect Crest is that you'll have to dedicate time to grind a lot of Shards you can use for your tools. It's only recommended to use Architect Crest during boss fights and save up shards when you're out exploring instead.
