==Upgrades==

You can upgrade your tools at the [[Blacksmith#Upgrade Tools|Blacksmith]] in exchange for [[gold]] and metal bars, with upgrades taking two days to complete. During the upgrade, you are still able to buy anything from the shop or ask [[Clint]] to break open geodes. Tools must be upgraded in ascending order of materials; for example, a copper tool can't be upgraded directly to iridium.

*The practical meaning of an upgrade "taking two days to complete" is that you will wake up on two successive days without your tool. You may use the tool during the day, then take it to the Blacksmith (before it closes) to upgrade. The next day you will be without your tool. The following day, you must travel to the Blacksmith to pick up the tool, and can use it for the remainder of the day.

*When a tool has completed upgrading, a message will appear in the lower left corner of the screen when waking up for the day.

==Tool Disposal==

==Tool Disposal==

Most tools cannot be put in the trash can on the player's [[inventory]] screen, or dragged off the inventory screen to be dropped. Tools that can be trashed and/or dropped are: all Fishing Poles, the [[Auto-Grabber]], [[Heater]], and [[Pans]].

If the player somehow loses the [[Scythe]], [[Axes|Axe]], [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]], or [[Watering Cans|Watering Can]] (by dying in [[The Mines|the mines]] for example), the next day a basic version of the tool will appear next to the player's bed, in the player's refrigerator (if the player has a [[Farmhouse|kitchen]]), or in the Lost and Found box in the [[Mayor's Manor]]. Mayor [[Lewis]] may send a letter in the mail saying he found them and returned them.

==Bugs==

==Bugs==

*In [[multiplayer]], it is possible to lose a tool in the mines, and never get a replacement back. A known workaround for this bug is to have one of the non-hosting players create a new character, have them drop their tools into a chest, and then quit and re-join as their original character.
