FAQ
Tool FAQ
Which tool should you upgrade first?
Prioritize the Pickaxe because higher ore tiers provide the Bars used by nearly every other tool family.
How much do metal tool upgrades cost?
The current tables list 1,000 Coins plus three Copper Bars, 4,000 plus three Iron Bars, and 16,000 plus three Gold Bars.
Does an Enchanted tool consume the Gold version?
The current source lists four Mana Essence and 48,000 Coins but does not list the previous tool, so this planner does not invent that requirement.
Evidence and source
Tool requirements and effects are transcribed from the current Tools and Howling Hammer tables.
