Tools (LoH)

There are 10 total tools in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, 5 of which can be upgraded.
Some tool upgrades are required for the completion of the main storyline (Revive the Lighthouse), but tool upgrades are highly recommended regardless, as they consume less stamina per-use each time they're upgraded, and also allow for various effects such as covering more area, removing obstacles more quickly, or even (in the case of the fishing rod) doubling/tripling the output of resources.
Once you upgrade a tool, the next upgrade for that tool will become available - you cannot skip upgrade levels, and must go through each linear upgrade step as you upgrade your tools.
==Unlocking Tool Upgrades==
To unlock tool upgrades, you must first repair Gus's Smithy, a repairable building in the Mountains: Central Area region. The next day, Gus's granddaughter Melanie will show up and give you the Hammer.
Gus will request that you mine him some Iron Ore before he will move back into his Smithy, which will require you to repair the Mines and smash up some rocks until you've found enough ore to meet his demands. After doing so, Gus will provide his services to you.
Gus's Smithy is open from 6am - 6pm every day except Sunday, where Gus offers two services: Tool Upgrades & Ore/Gemstone Refining.
