Tools

**Tools** increase your efficiency by increasing the radius in which leaves are blown back. Tools are purchased with Leaves, Flasks, or Tokens. All tools can also be upgraded to level 10/100 to gain bonus stats. Tools reset when Prestiging/Big Leaf Crunching/Mega Leaf Crunching. Purchasing the *It's Mine!* Gem Shop upgrade keeps them permanently.

## Types

Blowing Power and Range affects  ALBs if *ALB Tools* is purchased from the  BLC Shop BLC Coin Shop. However, the   Celestial Leaf Gain bonus requires the tool to be equipped by the player.

Upgrading tools with materials increases that respective material's spawn chance (Soul Trout/Shovel increasing the materials respective storage). It also increases Blower Enemy Damage; this can also be increased with Malachite Leaf *Focused Tools* upgrade.

1. ↑ **Small Leaf Rake:** Once the required leaves are gathered, the Tools shop is revealed and the Small Leaf Rake can be purchased.
2. ↑ **Lazer:** Trivia: The in-game description implies that the tool deliberately uses a common misspelling of Laser.
3. ↑ **Compressor:** The best tool available from flasks. It's important for gaining enough  Exotic Leaves to unlock the Bellows, because Exotic Leaves are hard to blow away with weaker tools.
4. ↑ **THE HIGHTECH DRILL:** The low radius and high power is good for piling merged leaves such as  Obsidian.
5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 **Carpenter's Cup:** Required to unlock the  Holy Leaf, which in turn is required to unlock The Holy Grail.
6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 6.2 6.3 **Shovels:** Allows Shovelling. Gains +1 dig at level 10 and another +1 at level 100.
7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 7.3 **Trouts:** Allows Slapping. For level bonuses, Trouts scale their Slap bonus linearly, except at level 100 the total value and further scaling is doubled. So while the Large Trout scales up to 990% slap at level 99, it goes to 2000% at level 100 and then 2020% at 101.

## Upgrading

Tools can be upgraded using materials. At tool level increments of 20, 30, 40 etc, tools will cost  Dark Essence to upgrade.

Upgrading tools grants a .1% higher spawn chance of the material used to upgrade it and an increase to blower damage, with shovels and fish also getting other bonuses. At Level 10, tools gain an additional bonus. Shovels, Trouts, and the Leaf Sword also gain special bonuses at level 100, noted above.

At base you can level a tool too level 100, Once reaching Biotite Leaf buying all 50 *Max Tool Level* upgrades will allow you to reach 150. The damage bonus can still be boosted by the Malachite Leaf *Focused Tools* upgrade.

You do not need to have a tool equipped in order to gain the benefits of its upgrades.

The upgrade costs are the same at each level for all tools, and the costs scale as follows:

Tool Upgrade Costs/Level

## Blowing power

As you progress further into the game Leaves vary in weight and require more Nuclear Fuel to blow them off screen Exotic Leafs are the first time the player notices the effects of Nuclear Fuel. With enough nuclear fuel upgrades, all tools can blow away almost all types of leaves, almost instantly. The  Nuclear Leaf and the Platinum Leaf enemy's unique bonus in Battlefield will help with blowing heavier leaves.

If you are farming  Celestial Leaves, it is recommended to use *The Celestial Blower*. It is not as powerful as other tools, but each Celestial Leaf is worth 50 more. The radius this tool blows in is very small so you can accurately push your leaves into the enemy for some sweet Celestial Leaves. As mentioned above this only applies if equipped on the player.
