Luma Island: How To Upgrade Tools

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent on various islands and realms, I can confidently say that the tool upgrade system in Luma Island is a game-changer. It adds a layer of depth to the gameplay, making the progression feel more rewarding.

Upon your arrival at Luma Island, you’re equipped with an abundance of fresh tools for tasks like woodcutting, mining, farming, and exploring – all geared towards helping you uncover its hidden treasures and accumulate some wealth. Initially, these tools perform admirably, but as you progress through the game and encounter more challenging regions, they may prove to be less effective.

Fortunately, you have the ability to enhance your tools to boost their power as you explore new regions. This also simplifies the process of collecting resources in areas you’ve previously visited, such as the Farm, and can make formerly intimidating enemies much less daunting to confront. Here is a comprehensive guide on upgrading tools within the game Luma Island.

How To Upgrade Tools In Luma Island

As a passionate adventurer in Luma Island, I’ve discovered that every tool, even the trusty whip, can be enhanced using the Tool Upgrade Anvil conveniently located beside Balthazar’s shop, right at the town entrance. Whether it’s the wee hours of the night or the brightness of day, you can always stop by and upgrade your tools to face the island’s challenges more effectively!

To enhance your tools, you require suitable materials and tool tokens. The specific materials required will vary according to the stage of the tool. Initially, a large amount of copper may be needed for upgrades, but later on, iron will become necessary once they’ve been upgraded to their iron versions, and so on. The whip is unique in this regard as it requires leather rather than different types of ore for its upgrades.

Besides enhancing your tools with gold, it’s important to note that as the quality improves, the upgrades become increasingly costly. You can effortlessly acquire gold by adhering to the advancement of your profession. Additionally, you can augment your gold reserves by selling assorted finds amassed during exploration.

Upgrading your tools gives a variety of effects, depending on which tool you’re upgrading. Your axe and pickaxe will do more damage to harvestables, your whip will do more damage, and your fishing rod will become easier to maneuver. Upgrading your hoe will allow you to find more Earth spirits when you till the soil. All upgrades to all tools will also increase your chances of finding rare drops (and catching rarer fish in the case of the fishing rod).

Where To Find Upgrade Materials In Luma Island

Each tool requires different materials to upgrade, and here’s where you can look to find them all:

  • Ore: Can be mined in abandoned caves.
  • Leather: Crafted from mushrooms.
  • Rock spirit: Dropped while mining rock and ore.
  • Nature spirit: Dropped while chopping trees, ferns, etc.
  • Water spirit: Dropped when catching fish.
  • Lost spirit: Found while exploring in Ancient Temples.
  • Earth Spirit: Found when tilling soil.
  • Tool Tokens: Found in treasure chests and inside Ancient Temples.

In most cases, you’ll find a plentiful supply of spirits as you progress through the game by playing naturally and doing some exploration. The scarcest resource you’ll encounter would be Tool Tokens, but if you follow the hints your Lumas provide for chest locations (and discover additional ones while exploring Temples), you should accumulate enough to upgrade your tools fairly quickly within Luma Island.
