Upgrades

Blacksmith Upgrades

• Upgrades between levels only shorten the amount of time needed to upgrade tools at the Blacksmith, the cost is not reduced.
  • e.g. Upgrading a Normal tool to Mystril will take 4 days and cost 5,000 G, while upgrading a Gold tool to Mystril will take only 1 day but still cost 5,000 G.
  • Because of this, it is most cost effective to upgrade a tool from its lowest level to Mystril, where possible.
• All ores for upgrades can be found in the Spring Mine.

Level	Upgrade Name	Ore	Cost	Upgrade Time
2	Copper Tool	Copper Ore	1,000 G	1 day
3	Silver Tool	Silver Ore	2,000 G	2 day
4	Gold Tool	Gold Ore	1,000 G	3 day
5	Mystril Tool	Mystril Ore	1,000 G	4 day
6	Cursed/Blessed Tool	n/a	n/a	n/a
7	Mythic Tool	Mythic Stone	50,000 G	unknown days

Blessing Cursed Tools

Once equipped, cursed tools cannot be taken off without going to Carter during confessional hours at the Church.

Cursed tools can be blessed via the following criteria:

• Cursed Axe & Fishing Rod: use the tool 255 times.
  • This is easily accomplished by using the tool during an event or a cutscene, as there is no stamina loss.
• Cursed Hammer & Sickle: have the tool equipped for 10 days straight.
  • This is best accomplished during Winter, since there are no crops to manage.
• Cursed Hoe & Watering Can: have Carter bless the tool 10 times for 1,000 G each during confessional hours at the Church

After blessing the cursed tools, Mythic Stones appear in the Spring Mine on floors 60, 102, 123, 152, 155, 171, 190, 202, 222.
