How to Upgrade Tools in Moonlight Peaks

In Moonlight Peaks, upgrading your tools is crucial to your progression. Like in most farming sims, getting better tools leads to better resources that unlock new things.

Here’s a quick guide showing you where to get better tools to destroy those big rocks and trees to free up more space in your home and get better minerals in Moonlight Peaks.

How to Get Better Tools in Moonlight Peaks

When you start the game, you’ll immediately get the base tools in your inventory or your radial tool wheel. This includes the axe, pickaxe, scythe, shovel, and watering can. The other tools, like fishing rods, are also upgradeable but not in the same way as the other tools mentioned above.

You’ll start with the normal tools for a while until you finish the A Bridge Too Far quest that unlocks access to the Misty Shores. The way to upgrade your tools is by going to The Broken Hammer store and interacting with Ridge. Open the store and go to the third category of the shop selection, which includes all the tool upgrades.

The tutorial or quests don’t show you this, apart from telling you about the barn, mill, and house upgrades. Here you can see the first tool upgrades, where you can get all the base tools to their copper versions.

The copper version requires 1,000 coins, the base tool, and 3 Copper Bars each. The iron version requires 4,000 coins, the copper version of the tool, and 3 Iron Bars each. The next would be the gold version, needing 16,000 coins, the iron version, and 3 Gold Bars. At the gold version stage, the fishing rod can also be upgraded from its base version for 16,000 coins and 3 Gold Bars.

As soon as you finish the A Bridge Too Far quest, go to the Misty Shores through the newly opened bridge. Go to the lower-left of Misty Shores to find the Cave of Echoes. Once inside, use a pickaxe and grab all the copper bars for your tool upgrades.

Of course, you’ll need to farm 1,000 coins per tool, for a total of 5,000 coins. It can be hard at the start, since most of your money will be either reinvested in crops or spent on construction, like building the early Well, Barn, and Mill.

If you want some early money to buy these tool upgrades and even the next iron-tier tools, grow crops that regrow so you don’t have to buy seeds all the time or buy single-harvest seeds that get processed for a big increase in price, like turning Wheat into Beer in the keg.

For the upgraded tools, you’ll get to mine or chop bigger and harder resources. The most important one is reaching the iron tier pickaxe, because it lets you break the big rocks in your home area, giving you more space for things like multiple barns or a bigger crop field.
