Tools

______________________________________________________________________ // // // Tools // // "We shall neither fail nor falter. // // We shall not weaken or tire. Give // // us the tools and we will finish the // // job." -Winston Churchill // // // //___________________________________________________________________// |/ | As with other recent Harvest Moon games, there are three types of tools | you'll use throughout the game: six main "upgradeable" tools and several | other "non-upgradeable" and "one-time use" tools. The three categories | function mostly independently, but there are just enough similar | characteristics to warrant a unified section to start us off. | | _________________________________________________________________________ | / / | / Tool Basics / | / / |/_________________________________________________________________________/ | | Tools function much like any other item. They take up a spot in your | rucksack, can be moved around, and can be stored away in the toolbox or | your cabinets. When you pull a tool out, it'll appear in your hands just | like an item. Pressing A, though, will use the tool instead of giving the | item away or putting it down. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Basic Tool Usage \ | \ | To equip a tool, pull it out of your rucksack. It'll appear in your hands. | Press A to use it. Usually, you can use any tool at any time -- but it'll | only have an effect if you're standing near something relevant. For | example, the milker will only really do anything if you're facing an animal | that gives milk, and the axe will only do something if you're facing a | tree, stump or twig. | | Every time you use a tool, it'll use some of your stamina. Stamina's | displayed in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Different tools use | different amounts of stamina: a brush, for example, barely uses any, while | the hammer and axe use a fair amount. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Obtaining Tools \ | \ | When you get started, you'll be given two tools: the Watering Can and the | Hoe. These are the only two tools necessary for planting and growing crops, | but you'll need others. Here's how you can obtain them: | - Sickle: Obtained the first time you talk to Hannah at Horn Ranch. | - Axe: Obtained during the Fix the Bridge event: see the Events section | by searching for [-EVENT-] without the spaces for more information. | - Hammer: Obtained the first time you talk to Owen inside the Lower | Garmon Mine. | - Fishing Rod: Obtained the first time you talk to Toby by the river in | Flute Fields. | - Camera: Obtained the first time you talk to Simon at Simon's Studio. | - Brush, Milker, Shears & Bell: These four animal-related items can be | purchased from Hannah at Horn Ranch. | - Animal Medicine & Miracle Potions: These other animal-related items are | tools, but can also only be used once. They can also be purchased from | Hannah at Horn Ranch, though certain ones won't be available until Horn | Ranch has leveled up. Search for [-STRLV-] without the dashes for more | information. | - Seeds: Seeds aren't usually thought of as tools, but really they | function the exact same way. You can purchase seeds from Marimba Farm, | Taylor's Seeds, Pineapple Inn, or several festivals. | |\______________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Upgrading vs. Leveling \ | \ | The most important tools are the upgradeable tools: the Watering Can, Hoe, | Sickle, Axe, Hammer and Fishing Rod. These are the ones you'll use most | often, and they are all similar in that they can be improved in two | separate ways. | | This is surprisingly difficulty to understand, so I'm going to introduce | two terms that the game only uses loosely: Upgrade and Level. | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | What Do They Mean? | | A tool's Upgrade refers simply to how many upgrades you've had done to the | tool at the Blacksmith's Shop. There are five levels above where the tool | starts out: Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold and Goddess. We'll get to how to | upgrade later, but remember: 'Upgrade' means what type of metal it is | currently made of. | | A tool's Level refers to how skilled you are with the tool. There are five | total levels, including the way the tool starts out initially. A tool's | Level increases solely through using it; but again, we'll get to that | later. | | Now, here's the change from Tree of Tranquility: in Animal Parade, Upgrade | and Level ARE related. You can upgrade your tools all you want, and they'll | use less stamina -- so for upgrades, you don't need to be concerned with | level. But, when you Level a tool, you must also Upgrade it before you can | use its 'powered-up' technique. | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | What Do They Affect? | | A tool's Upgrade mostly impact how much stamina it consumes when you use | it. The original Hoe you get, for example, will use a lot of stamina every | time you swing it. A Gold Hoe will use much, much less. For most of the | upgradeable tools, that's the only difference: the exception is the Fishing | Rod. Upgrading the Fishing Rod will make it consume less stamina, but it | will also increase your chances of catching rare fish. But I'll explain | that more fully later. | | A tool's Level will actually affect how strong the tool is. For example, a | Level 1 Watering Can can only water one square at a time; a level 2 one can | water two at a time. That goes for the hoe, sickle and hammer as well. For | the axe, since trees are rarely adjacent, Leveling allows you to shop a | tree or stump in fewer hits. | | But, Leveling a tool will not automatically unlock its higher power. | Instead, you have to hold down A to charge the tool up every time you use | it. You'll see a little animation for every level you power up. Just | release the A button to stop powering up and use the tool at its current | powered strike. | | Additionally, as mentioned above, you must Upgrade a tool to unlock its | Leveled-up ability. So, if you Level your watering can to level 2 (where it | can water 2 spaces at a time), you'll need to Upgrade it to Iron. | Similarly, Copper is required to use a tool's level 3 skill; Silver for | level 4; and Gold for level 5. | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | How Do I Level/Upgrade? | | For Upgrades, you'll have to take a trip to any of the mines and the | Blacksmith's Shop. You'll need three of a particular metal to buy the | upgrade to that level (Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold or Rare Metal for | 'Goddess' tools). After you get that from a mine, go to the Blacksmith's | Shop and talk to Ramsey. There, you'll be able to choose your tool upgrade. | Be aware, they're pretty expensive, and you have to buy all of them in | order (regular to Iron, Iron to Copper, etc. -- you can't skip straight | from Iron to Gold or anything like that). | | Fortunately, Levels are easier to come by. You'll earn levels simply | through using the tool. For most tools, simply using it no matter the area | or situation will earn a little experience, but you'll get more for | actually using the tool properly. So while you technically can just water | or till the same square over and over to level the Watering Can or Hoe, | it'll be more efficient to use them to actually water dry crops or till | plain soil. Levels are tiered such that each level is significantly harder | to reach than the previous one: only the most hardcore Harvest Moon players | will reach Level 5 on any tool. | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | So What's So Special About the Fishing Rod? | | The Fishing Rod operates under some pretty specific other mechanics. | | The Level of the rod corresponds to what types of fish you're able to | catch; you simply cannot catch the rarest fish without a high-level rod. | They just won't come. | | The Upgrade of the rod won't change what fish you can catch, but it will | improve the odds of catching a rarer fish. You might get lucky and catch a | rare fish with a lower-level rod, but you'll probably need to Upgrade. | | So, with a Goddess Fishing Rod at Level 1, you won't be able to catch any | rare fish. With a regular Fishing Rod at Level 5, you could technically | catch rare fish, but it'll take a lot of luck and patience. For best | results, you'll need a combination of a high-level and high-upgrade rod. | | _________________________________________________________________________ | / / | / Upgradeable Tools / | / / |/_________________________________________________________________________/ | | Upgradeable tools are the main category of tools, which function according | to the leveling and upgrading rules outlined above. If you're still unclear | on the difference between leveling and upgrading, scroll up a bit and | re-read. | |\____ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Axe \ | \ | _ _ _ _ _ _ | Basic Info | | Obtained : Obtained in the Fix the Bridge event (meet Bo in Garmon Mine | : District at the beginning of the game). | Purpose : Chops down trees, cuts apart stumps and breaks up twigs to give | : you lumber for home, barn and coop upgrades. | Usage : Stand facing the tree, stump or twig, equip the axe and use it. | : For trees and stumps, it will take multiple swings.
