If you take a stick and I take a rock, soon I’ll have both a stick and a rock.

Stick.

In a duel between 2 people, if both take the rock, both will be hit by rocks. If 1 person has the stick and the other has the rock, one person has a chance, however small, to deflect the rock and hit the unarmed assailant.

If both take the stick, get a camera.

The stick is superior, but the question is which one you take. Take the rock. Use the stick, then leave it in a conspicuous place for the next person to find and enjoy, to maximize the stick value.

Only extreme noobs craft wooden swords. You mine stone asap
