[[Clint]] can upgrade the four main [[tools]] and the [[Trash Cans|Trash Can]] in the inventory menu incrementally. That is to say the previous quality of tool is required to upgrade it to the next level. It takes 2 days to upgrade a tool. While Clint is upgrading a tool, Blacksmith services are unavailable.  A notification will pop up on the left side of the screen on the morning a tool upgrade is ready.

Note that even when Blacksmith's shopfront itself is closed on festival days (although the door will not be shut for the [[Dance of the Moonlight Jellies]] in the Summer, and the [[Spirit's Eve]] festival in the Fall), Clint will still work on tools. If a player drops off a tool off the day before a festival, it will be ready the day after the festival as normal.

All [[Axes|Axe]] and [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] upgrades reduce the number of hits necessary to remove trees and rocks.  In addition certain metal versions are able to break larger objects of their respective type (logs and stumps; or boulders and meteorites, respectively). Upgraded versions of the [[Watering Cans|Watering Can]] and [[Hoes|Hoe]] allow the player to water and till multiple squares of land in a single use (using click-and-hold). The trash can upgrades increase the autosell value of any objects placed into them up to 60%.

==Tips==

*To avoid missing a day of watering, water crops, then upgrade the Watering Can when the weather report indicates rain the next day. Crops will be watered the day the can is taken to the Blacksmith, the following day by the rain, and the can can be picked up the day after that. It can also be a good idea to upgrade the watering can near the end of a season, if there is nothing in the ground that will bear fruit until then.

*Regarding coal prices, during year 1, it's cheaper to buy wood from the [[Carpenter's Shop]] and use a [[Charcoal Kiln]] to make [[coal]] than it is to buy coal from the Blacksmith's.  Conversely, starting in year 2, the price of [[wood]] increases from {{price|10}} to {{price|50}}, so it is cheaper to purchase coal.

*At [[Skills#Mining|Mining Skill]] 7, it is cheaper to purchase [[Iron Ore]], smelt [[Iron Bar]]s, and use the Transmute (Au) recipe to create [[Gold Bar]]s than it is to purchase [[Gold Ore]] and smelt it into Gold Bars. This saves {{price|350}} per Gold Bar in the first year and {{price|1000}} per Gold Bar in year 2+, assuming you buy the extra coal you need for the Iron-to-Gold method. The Iron-to-Gold method also reduces smelting time by 1 to 3 hours, depending on how many furnaces you have (smelting a Gold Bar takes 5 hours; smelting an Iron Bar takes 2 hours, but you need 2 of them to make a Gold Bar).
