Every farmer needs their tools.

You can unlock the following tools through these specific tasks in Fields of Mistria:

ToolsHow to unlock
SwordProvided to you upon start
HoeGiven to you by Celine during the beginning
Watering CanGiven to you by Hayden during the beginning
ShovelPurchasable at the General Store for 500 Tesserae
Fishing RodPurchasable at the Tackle Shop for 500 Tesserae
AxeGiven to you by Eiland during Spring 2
PickaxeEarned from the Do Bro a Favor mission via the Request Board (Spring 2)
Bug NetEarned from Something’s Bugging Me Request (Spring 4)

The sword is among the first tools given to you, allowing you to slice up enemies and grass. Shortly after one of the first cutscenes concludes, you’ll then earn the hoe and watering can for farming.

If you want other free tools, you’ll need to wait a short while for specific days and missions. Begin Spring 2 to commence a cutscene with Eiland, who will teach you how to swing the axe for wood. Next, go to the Request Board to pick up the Pickaxe from the character Olric.

Earn enough Tessarae from these missions to purchase the shovel and the fishing rod. As you may expect, the fishing rod can be used whenever there are fish shadows are in the water. You can also expand your farming plot with the shovel, providing more seed locations.

The Bug Net is one of the last tools you can earn in Fields of Mistria, specifically from Luc. It won’t be available until the fourth day of Spring. Speak to Luc at the Inn, and he’ll give it to you to start your bug-collecting journey.

To obtain valuable resources, you can upgrade each tool with various ore. Go to the blacksmith to forge some new equipment, including ingots of copper, iron, and silver.
