Tools
You need farming equipments when you want to pursue the career of farming in the game. At the start of the game, Mist gives you a hoe and a watering can for farm use. Honestly, these two are all you gonna need in basic farming. But like everything else in this game, the starter tools are just the tip of the iceberg. You are going to have to upgrade your tools to maximize their use. I have listed all the farming tools available in the game. Oh, and they can be used as weapons in the dungeon, but it's not very effective.
Hoe
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A hoe is used to till the soil so that seeds can be planted. Find an empty patch of farmland, and use a hoe. A tilled soil will appear on the spot.
Using the hoe gradually increases your farming skill.
Level 1 - Cheap Hoe = 1 tilled soil
Level 2 - Sturdy Hoe = 3 tilled soil when charged
Level 3 - Seasoned Hoe = a 3x3 area of tilled soil when charged
Level 4 - Shiny Hoe = a 3x6 area of tilled soil when charged
Level 5 - Blessed Hoe = a 3x9 area of tilled soil when charged
Watering Can
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The watering can is the second farming tool you'll receive on the game. Use it on a tilled soil, and the soil will then be damp. Essential in raising crops.
Using the watering can gradually increases your farming skill.
Level 1 - Cheap Waterpot = 1 area. Hold 12 units
Level 2 - Tinplate Waterpot = 3 areas across when charged. Holds 24 units
Level 3 - Lion Waterpot = 3x3 area when charged. Holds 54 units
Level 4 - Rainbow Waterpot = 5x5 area when charged. Holds 100 units
Level 5 - Joy Waterpot = 9x9 area when charged. Holds 162 units
Axe
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO OBTAIN: visit Jasper's Manor and talk to Bianca. Bianca will then call on Tabitha to fetch the item.
An axe is an essential farming equipment. It is used to cut branches, stumps, and is your only source of wood in the game. Branches give 1 wood while the stumps give 10. The maximum amount of wood you can reach is 9999. You can also use the chopped wood to make fences and such. The log shed is located beside the pond. All axes can cut branches. Using the axe does not increase farming
skills, but instead raises the logging skill.
Level 1 - Cheap Axe = mainly for branches. doesn't work on stumps
Level 2 - Chopping Axe = stumps take 6 hits when charged
Level 3 - Lumber Axe = stumps take 3 hits when charged
Level 4 - Mountain Axe = stumps take 2 hits when charged
Level 5 - Miracle Axe = stumps take 1 hit when charged
Sickle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO OBTAIN: Visit the Seed Shop and talk to Rosetta, but before she gives the item, you need to till at least 50 patches of farmland.
The sickle can be used to cut plants and weeds on your farm. Personally, the only real benefit of the sickle is when cutting grass for fodder. Otherwise, it can also be used to clean out your farmland against withered crops. Using the sickle also increases your farming skill.
Level 1 - Cheap Sickle = cuts 1 area
Level 2 - Iron Sickle = cuts 3 areas horizontally when charged
Level 3 - Quality Sickle = cuts 3x3 area when charged
Level 4 - Super Sickle = cuts 5x5 area when charged
Level 5 - Legend Sickle = cuts 9x9 area when charged
Hammer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO OBTAIN: Visit the Blacksmith Shop and talk to Leo, but before he gives the item, you need to have a pass on the first cave, and till at least 50 patches of farmland inside the cave.
While hammer is mainly used for mining ores, it also has its uses in the farm. A hammer is used to untill soils and return them back to normal. While this may not sound so useful to a farmer, by turning the soil back to normal, this encourages the game to spawn wild items on the farmland. Be it branches, or weeds, rocks, stumps, boulders, etc.
Using the hammer raises the mining skill, not the farming skill, even when untilling soils. All hammers can effectively break stones with 1 hit.
Level 1 - Cheap Hammer = cannot break rocks and boulders.
Level 2 - Iron Hammer = break rocks in 1 hit when charged. no to boulders
Level 3 - Silver Hammer = rocks in 1 hit, boulders in 3 hits when charged
Level 4 - Golden Hammer = rocks in 1 hit, boulders in 2 hits when charged
Level 5 - Platinum Hammer = rocks and boulders in 1 hit when charged
Fishing Rod
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO OBTAIN: Go to the beach and approach the end of the pier. Sabrina will appear and gives you the item.
Fishing Rod is not really an essential item in farming. Heck, you don't even need it. It is an item all on its own. Seek a body of water, and you can use the fishing rod to catch any type of fish, even junk. It can be an alternative way to earn money, and is also the easiest, fastest way to earn money early in the game.
Using the fishing rod raises your fishing skill.
Level 1 - Cheap Rod = catches common fishes
Level 2 - Bamboo Rod = boosts chance to catch level 2 fishes
Level 3 - Willow Rod = boosts chance to catch level 3 fishes
Level 4 - Famous Rod = boosts chance to catch level 4 fishes
Level 5 - Sacred Rod = boosts chance to catch level 5 fishes
Tools Upgrade
Upgrading your tools is a must to improve the efficiency of your farm tools. In the game, there is a Blacksmith Shop which can raise your tool level up to 3. The last 2 levels requires a forgery inside your house. The materials for the upgrade usually requires minerals that can be mined, but higher levels do require items dropped from monsters, so it might take a while to find them.
