The original, first-stage "Old" tools are gifted to Noby by various villagers, but subsequently can be upgraded with the appropriate materials via Smitty into Copper, Iron, Silver, Gold, and Super, respectively. Upgrading these tools increases their efficiency in a variety of ways, including "power-ups" and their stamina requirements, and each upgrade unlocks the next tier of ore available for purchase at the blacksmith.
Each tool requires the same amount of materials to be upgraded.
