How to Use
The upgrade works with a mini-game, similar to the strength game from the Fair Festival.
Hold the tool you want to upgrade, and make sure you have the necessary bars in your inventory.[list]
Example: To upgrade the basic axe, hold it while having 5 copper bars in your inventory.
If you hit the maximum point, you save 1 bar as a bonus.
The more skilled you are with the tool category (farming, mining, etc.), the lower the maximum threshold, making it easier to save a bar.
[/list]
Tool Upgrade Skills
Axe and Pan use your foraging level.
Pickaxe uses your mining level.
Hoe and Watering Can use your farming level.
