Descrição
Among the most useful of pocket mathematical tools, astrolabes come in many forms, from a metal disk with shapes carved into its face; to a fist-sized globe with rotating rings interlocked along its body; and even to the mariner’s astrolabe, which is held in both hands. The many functions of this tool include timekeeping, distance triangulation and estimation, mathematical calculation, and tracking the celestial bodies of the night sky. (Cost: 1 koku. Rarity: 8.)
