Tools are various devices or machines used to operate the skills in the game, which have many uses depending on the skill.
Tools can be acquired from crafting, as a reward from quests, or from Monster Loot. Some can be upgraded with crafting, gems or orbs.
Main tools
Edit
There are many tools which are considered as being primary tools, based on their representativeness with corresponding skills. However there are only eight tools which can be upgraded with gems, ten tools which can be upgraded with Blue Orbs and eight tools which can be upgraded with Green Orbs.

Priority of upgrading gem-upgradeable tools
Edit
The table below is a general priority list of gem upgrading.
Note: this is only a guideline. Especially if you have a different style of playing, you might consider upgrading particular tools in a different order in a same tier (for example, if you are in urgent need of more food resources and you care less about gathering more wood, you might want to upgrade your Trowel before your Axe). Rake and Fishing Rod should however still be prioritized, as higher tier seeds and fish are (very) rare.
Priority tier |
Standard | Hardcore | Explanation, note |
1 | ![]() | ![]() | Standard players can always buy seeds and food in early game |
![]() | ![]() | ||
![]() | ![]() | ||
2 | ![]() | ![]() | The higher mining level, the better ore income. Blue Pickaxe Orb reduces ores cost to train mining by half |
![]() | ![]() | Interchangeable with Pickaxe, their priority are quite equal | |
![]() | ![]() | ||
3 | ![]() | ![]() | Sand from shovel has very limited use, which is merely for glass/ vial of water |
![]() | ![]() | Chisel should be concerned only until unlocking Stardust Crystal Potion and Mining level 75 |
Secondary tools
Edit
These tools are usually not upgradeable with gems or orbs or can only be obtained in mid- to late game.

Tips
Edit
- Most items that can be bound, can be deleted by right clicking on it.
- Anvil is considered the most useless tool. Clicking on it only will open the Crafting tab.
