Press START and go to RUCKSACK MENU. Select tool/item.
Press B to use tool/item.

+Upgradable Tools+
Upgraded tools are tools which are much more powerful and much more
helpful around the farm. There are six upgradable tools: axe, hammer,
sickle, hoe, watering can and fishing rod. First things you'll need are
the right ores and money. You can find the ores in the Spring Mine
(cave near hotspring) by breaking the rocks with your hammer.
*Ore Locations:
1.)Copper = Level 1 & Lower
2.)Silver = Level 1 & Lower
3.)Gold = Level 3 & Lower
4.)Mystrile = Level 7 & Lower
5.)Mythic = Level 60 & Lower (discussed later)
+How to Upgrade+
Go to Saibara, the blacksmith(he's a grumpy old man who lives in the
first house you see when going to town from the main entrance of your
farm). Bring the ore you want your tool to be upgraded with and of course,
the tool you want to have upgraded. Make sure you have the money too.
It'll take a few days for him to finish a tool, depending on the ore but
it usually takes 2-3 days.
*Upgrading Costs:
1.)Copper = 1,000 G
2.)Silver = 2,000 G
3.)Gold = 3,000 G
4.)Mystrile = 4,000 G
5.)Mythic = 50,000G (discussed later)
+Using Upgraded Tools+
Upgraded tools require more power than your previous normal tools.
To harness that power, hold B and let go. The higher the upgrade, the
longer it will need for you to hold the B button. If it doesn't work the
first time, you'll have to do it again.
MAJOR TIP:
If you want to save money, you can wait until all tools can be upgraded
for Mystrile. You can see this by pressing SELECT to go to the MAIN MENU.
Press LEFT or RIGHT until you reach a TOOLS GRAPH, where you can see as
to what ore your tool can be upgraded to. You can also hang out by the
hotspring and use the tool several times until you get it to be upgraded
for Mystrile. Once you turn blue, just take a dip in the hotspring for
1-2 hours(game time). Get out and start using the tool again. Jumping to
Mystrile saves on the money since it's only 4000G upgrade per tool unlike
the normal step-by-step upgrading, which can cost up to 10,000G per tool!
And to think you have 6 upgradable tools!
+Using Items+
Like the tools, you can also use some items (seeds, medicine, magic medicine).
To do this, select an item from the RUCKSACK MENU and equip it. Press B.
+Eating Items+
Food items of course, can be eaten (while drinks can be drank). To do this,
select a food item in the RUCKSACK MENU and equip it. Once you have it in
your hands, hold L while pressing B or press them both at the same time.(L+B)
+Special Tools+
There are 3 particular types of special tools which are several times more
powerful than Mystrile Tools. These are the Cursed Tools, Blessed Tools and
the Mythic Tools.
<>
These are really powerful tools which you can find on certain levels of the
Winter/Lake Mine. To acquire these, you have to dig up on the floor until
you eventually find it. Note that when you equip these, it won't come off.
The only way to remove it is to have the curse lifted by Carter at
the church. Also, cursed tools suck up a lot of stamina.
Tool Name: Where to get: How to Bless:
C.Fishing Rod Level 29 Use 225 times
C.Hoe Level 39 Have Carter bless it 10 times
C.Axe Level 49 Use 225 times
C.Hammer Level 59 Equip 10 days straight
C.Watering Can Level 69 Bless 10 times
C.Sickle Level 79 Equip 10 days straight
TIP: For cursed tools that need to be used 225 times, you can do this
during a festival since you NEVER collapse during a festival.
Make sure you're in the venue. This also works with some
CHARACTER EVENTS. Also, for those that needed to be equipped 10
days STRAIGHT, that's exactly what you have to do so you can only
gather stuff until the 10 days is over. DO NOT HAVE CARTER REMOVE
THE CURSED TOOL at any point in time until the 10 days is over.
It's best you enlist the help of the harvest sprites.
<>
These are tools whose curse has been lifted. Meaning, they were once your
cursed tools. The obvious advantages are that they don't suck up as much
stamina and you can remove them whenever you like.
<>
These are the most powerful tools in the game and they suck up less stamina
than the blessed tools. Requirements are a TRUCKLOAD of money, all 6 blessed
tools and a Mythic stone for the tool you want to make Mythic. You can get
the Mythic stone by going to the Spring Mine and digging around level 60 and
some lower. These ores will only appear once you have all your cursed tools
turned to blessed tools.
Want the easy way out? Go to the MAKING MONEY Section under the GOLD-DIGGER
chapter and check out the Mythic Money tip (needs emulator). Yes, you can
get the Mythic stones through there without all the trouble of digging up in
mines where the possibility of getting one is very slim. Also, if you follow
that Mythic Money tip, you don't have to have all 6 of the blessed tools.
Just have enough money and Mythic stones to use for upgrading. The cheats are
provided in the later part of this guide.
Get around 24 mythic stones from the H.Goddess Rock-Paper-Scissors game in
your Vacation House/Town Cottage. That's four for each tool. Why? One is for
upgrading while the other 3 you can ship. That's 60,000G all in all since one
upgrade to Mythic costs 50,000G. That way, you earn an extra 10,000G per tool.
Great way to make money! That means the upgrading is practically free!
It's like Saibara's paying you 10,000G to get your tool upgraded to Mythic!
(Mwahahahaha! Revenge on the old fart! Hehehe...)
Want the even EASIER way out? There are cheats in the BREAKING THE CODES
section where you can have all 6 mythic tools even at the beginning
of the game! Cool, huh?
For the most part, I got these off cheats. Except for Van's Favorite
Thing and the Goddess Gift, the rest of the items here can be retrieved
by connecting to Gamecube's Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life and
giving "Van" his "Favorite Thing" so he'll be able to sell those special
items for you.
Van's Favorite Thing
- You'll receive a note in the mail, saying you've won the lottery.
The prize you get is Van's favorite thing(looks like Karen's wine
from FoMT). You're supposed to take it to Van but unless you're able
to connect to Gamecube's Another Wonderful Life, you won't be able
to do so. Instead, you can keep it in your shelf or sell it to Won
for 48,000-57,000G(this only happens if you've unlocked Won's selling
feature) You'll win the lottery ever so often so I suggest you start
collecting these bottles to gain more income.
Goddess Gift
- You'll recall this as Elli's pressed flower in the boy version.
It is said that this thing is rare, but not valuable. The latter part
is wrong. Indeed, this pretty white flower is rare, but IT IS valuable!
You can sell it to Won for 1 million G!!! How do you get it? You need
to give the Harvest Goddess 10 Mystery flower (aka Queen of the Night/
White flower), which blooms at the peak of Mother's Hill on summer nights.
You can get this after an event with Ellen. See CHARACTER EVENTS for more
details. The easiest way to get the flower, however, is to play Won's
Apple Game. After the final event with him, you can challenge Won to an
apple shuffle. If you win 10 times in a row, he'll stop the game, say
you're no ordinary farmer and gives you a Queen of the Night instead
of the usual tickets. Thanks to timmytation for this info!
TV Changer
- You'll recall this as Popuri's Mudball in the boy version. This thing
is used to fast forward the episodes of extra shows (My Dear Princess,
Aaron Changes, Mechabot Ultror, etc) and it also works with the TV in
your cottage(though this doesn't affect the TV Shopping Network).
To use, hold the TV Changer in your hands and approach the TV.
When you get to the extra channel, press A and you'll be able to surf
through the episodes.
Shopping Master
- You'll recall this as Ann's Broken Music Box in the boy version.
This thing is quite possibly the most useful specialty item of all.
You can shop at all shops, even Van's Wednesday shop (even if you
don't have AWL) through the comfort of your own home and at any time.
Just hold it in your hands and "Talk" to your mirror. It's also the most
valuable item in the game, worth 999,999,999G if you sell it to Won!!!!
(and so goes my theory of Ann being the one meant for the boy in FoMT).
Sorry. Only usable in your farmhouse.
Riddle Book
- You'll recall this as Mary's Great Book in the boy version. It's a quiz
book with some rather interesting and difficult questions. To use it,
hold it up your hands and check out the farthest left shelf on the
first floor of the library. If you get all 100 questions right, it will
Congratulate you and say your farming game points have gone up, though
I didn't see any change in my Farm Degree points. Weird.
All About Books
- You'll recall this as the Plant Encyclopedia in the boy version.
It has every book in the library, and even contains info on some
HM: Another Wonderful Life characters. To use it, hold it up your hands
and check out the farthest left shelf on the first floor of the library.
All About Letters
- You'll recall this as the Harvest Goddess 100 wins book in the boy
version. It's a book that contains all the letters you will ever receive
in the game. To use it, hold it up your hands and check out the farthest
left shelf on the first floor of the library.
All About BGM
- This is a recording of all BGMs in the game. You'll only be able to
listen for a moment though, and you can't use the music here as your
farm's background music. Put it in the record player to listen.
For the most part, I got the TV Changer, Shopping Master, Riddle Book,
All About Books, All About Letters, and All about BGM off cheats, since
I don't have a gamecube but you can buy it if you connect to Gamecube's
HM: Another Wonderful Life. Go to Van and give him that bottle you won
in the lottery (Van's Favorite Thing). WARNING! Make sure you already
have over 1 MILLION G in your invoice so that the item will be available.
If your money is lower than 1 MILLION, Van will only offer to sell you
Van's Favorite Thing for 10,000g, which is a rip-off considering you gave
him one for free. Be careful with this! To those who do not have Gamecube
or AWL, you can only get the other items thru cheats. Thanks a million to
sierramut, for giving me the info on how to acquire these.
The Makers: After you have upgraded your Animal Barn and Chicken Coop you will notice a barrel or two appear inside. These can be turned into Makers that can process your animals products into cheese, mayo and yarn. To get the makers talk to Sabaira the Blacksmith.
