Where to Upgrade Tools in Mirthwood

To initiate the tool upgrade process, purchase a Tool Kit from the Blacksmith located in Brightoak.

However, accessing the Blacksmith’s services requires you to complete a preliminary quest. The Blacksmith, known as Clayton, has misplaced his treasured Hammer, and it’s your responsibility to retrieve it.

Locating the Blacksmith’s Hammer in Mirthwood

During a mishap at the forge, Clayton accidentally hurled his Hammer away. Fortunately, it landed nearby, nestled in a tree rather than lost forever. To find it, head left from the Blacksmith’s location into the tree line, just outside his fence. You’ll find the Hammer in front of a small pond.

Upon accepting the quest, Clayton provides a Bow which is crucial for dislodging the Hammer. To use the Bow effectively, hold down the trigger button and align the cursor towards the treetops. Your aim will be directed by the trajectory line that appears. Once the arrow is released and the Hammer drops, collect it and return to Clayton.

For your efforts, Clayton rewards you with an Iron Bar, and the Blacksmith’s shop will open the subsequent day. Additionally, you get to keep the Bow as a valuable tool!
