Tools

There are seven tools that Arco can craft and upgrade at the Forge in Arco's house. Each tool has three levels, which are unlocked by completing certain quests or building/upgrading certain structures.

Ax
Used to chop trees and bushes to get wood, remove structures, and fight enemies.

Hoe
Used to harvest and plant crops, trees, and bushes. Upgrades reduce the number of actions to harvest a crop, but don't affect crop growth time or the number of crops produced per harvest.

Hammer
Used to build or upgrade structures, collect stone and ore from rocks, or fight enemies.

When Arco breaks a small stone on Deiland, he receives a number of stone equal to the current hammer level. Each stone also has a 25% chance (100% chance in the mine) of dropping metal (30%), crystal (20%), silver ore (30%), or gold ore (20%). If additional resources are earned, the amount is equal to twice the current hammer level.

Bucket
Used to water fields, which reduces the growing time. The bucket isn't shown in Arco's inventory, it only appears when he collects water from a well.

Torch
Used to burn trees, bushes, and enemies. The torch isn't shown in Arco's inventory, it only appears when he lights it at a campfire.

Fishing rod
Used to fish for blue bass and salmon in Deiland's lake.

Staff
Used to cast spells against enemies in combat. The fire spell is unlocked initially, and other spells are learned through various quests.
