Mirthwood allows players to pick and choose their adventures, whether it be "A Heroic Adventure," "The Simple Life," or "A Dark Crusade," at some point, they're likely to interact with one of its key gameplay components: farming. They'll be introduced to this in one of the game's early quests, "The Road to Brightoak," for which they'll be able to start working on their gardening skills but will require some tools of this specific trade to make it happen.
As such, this quest is how they'll be able to acquire some tools for free; however, the quest objective doesn't give players many clues on where to find them. This guide addresses that concern as we've detailed how to find these copper-made tools to help them get started on their garden in Mirthwood.
How To Find The Copper Tools For The Road To Brightoak Quest In Mirthwood?
The Road to Brightoak is one of the first few quests players will receive after completing the Prologue quest, which finds them escaping the Continent for the Free Lands. Once they've stepped foot on their home farm in Blue Meadows, this specific quest will be triggered, which, following the objectives, will eventually lead them to an NPC, Kimberley, at the Northdell Farm northeast of Brightoak.
After speaking to the NPC, they'll be prompted by her to purchase onion and pea seeds from her store to start their garden and find tools to help get them started. These tools are essential as they can be upgraded with the necessary resources and tool kits purchased from the blacksmith, Clayton, before being upgraded at the Anvil on their farm.
As for where these tools can be found, Kimberley mentions that they can be found inside a wooden crate on a cart, but their location is quite vague, and their map only highlights the search area. The search area is located not far from the Northdell Farm, slightly west of the farm where, along the main path, they'll find a tree where the broken down cart is found, and they can loot the crate to add five Copper tools to their Inventory:
- Copper Axe: Used for chopping down small trees.
- Copper Gardening Hoe: Used for plowing or tilling soil before planting seeds.
- Copper Pickaxe: Used for breaking down small rocks for stones and various ores.
- Copper Pot: A watering container used to hydrate gardening soil once seeds have been planted.
- Copper Scythe: Used to cut down grass, bushes, and shrubbery for hay and other forageables.
As mentioned before, these tools are extremely important for their farming progression in Mirthwood, and as such, they should keep some of the tools in their person or store them away in a barrel or chest on their home farm. These tools can be upgraded from copper to iron by purchasing the Iron Tool Kit from the local blacksmith before returning home and upgrading them on the Anvil to improve their quality, durability, and harvest time.
