As players slowly progress with the quests, gaining valuable information and equipment to help get their farm started, they need to acquire some useful tools to make this task more efficient. While it demands completing some of the early game quests, what can they do if their tools make foraging, harvesting, and mining faster?

Well, this is where they must find the local blacksmith who can aid players in learning more about this specific trade and how they can upgrade their tools sooner rather than later. This iron-clad guide explains where players can find Clayton, Brightoak's blacksmith, and how to repair any and all tools in Mirthwood.

Where to Find The Blacksmith In Mirthwood?

There will come a time when they need to collect more resources more quickly and efficiently. In order to achieve this, they must locate the local blacksmith somewhere in the village, and they may have a request to ask of you before players can upgrade their tools.

Head into Brightoak Village and locate the Bog & Briar Inn, where they can take the pathway across from the Inn through the market square. Exit the market, turn left, and then a quick left, where the blacksmith and his forge are located on the left side of their character.

Speak with the blacksmith, Clayton, who requests help finding the hammer he had lost, which they'll receive the "Hammer Time" quest to complete. After finding the hammer, which is found in a tree west of the blacksmith's forge, using the bow he gifts, he can bring it down and return it to him to complete the quest, and they must wait until the next day to access the store.

How To Upgrade All Tools In Mirthwood?

With the "Hammer Time" quest completed and waiting until the next day, they return to the blacksmith's forge, where they can access his store via the Anvil to purchase various items, including resources, blueprints, and tool kits. Buying the tools kits comes in various rarities, so they can upgrade their tools from one rarity to the next depending on their current rarity (for example, in the early game, they'll start with copper tools).

As players will need to buy the Iron Tool Kit, which upgrades their Copper tools to Iron, which they'll receive during The Road to Brightoak quest, they must purchase this specific tool kit and an Anvil to make the repairs possible. The Anvil can be crafted at the Workbench back on the farm, as this blueprint is unlocked automatically; however, they need 15 Stones and two Iron Bars to craft, and they can repair or upgrade them when needed.
