8 guidesUpgradeable Tool
Hoe
锄头
Upgrade after Pickaxe/Axe unless artifact spots, Ginger Island farming, or large seasonal planting days are the current bottleneck.
Upgradeable Tool
Pickaxe
镐子
One of the best first upgrades because faster mining feeds bars, sprinklers, tool upgrades, bombs, geodes, and combat routes.
Upgradeable Tool
Axe
斧头
Competes with Pickaxe as the strongest early upgrade; Steel Axe is a major breakpoint because it opens Large Logs and Secret Woods-style hardwood routing.
Upgradeable Tool
Watering Can
喷壶
High impact before sprinklers, but timing is dangerous because missing a watering day can delay crops.
Upgradeable Tool
Trash Can
垃圾桶
Not urgent, but valuable for deep mining, fishing, and mobile inventory cleanup when leaving items behind costs money.
Fishing Tool
Fishing Rods
鱼竿
Fishing rods are purchased rather than Blacksmith-upgraded. The Fiberglass Rod is the first major income breakpoint because bait speeds up bites.
Panning Tool
Pans
淘盘
A later utility tool; upgrades increase ore and special item ranges and can help chain more panning spots.
Harvest Tool
Scythes
镰刀
Scythes cost no energy and become increasingly important for large fields, hay, and late-game crop collection.
