How to Upgrade Tools in Fae Farm

You’ll begin your adventure in Azoria with five farming tools: an Axe, Pickaxe, Scythe, Shovel, and Watering Can. Each tool has its own requirements to upgrade throughout its upgrade tree, however, every tool will gain access to a magical ability once you reach the Iron upgrade tier. I couldn’t wait to discover the magic ahead of me in Fae Farm, and it’s definitely worth it for tool upgrades. You can only upgrade farming tools by visiting Cinder at the Docks.
