Tools (GBC3)

This article covers all tools the player can obtain in Harvest Moon GBC 3. Their are a total of 24 tools the player can obtain - though some are exclusive to the male or female version of the game unless trading or gamesharks are used.

Unlike Sara, Pete can upgrade his basic tools by using them. When the game starts, all tools that can be upgraded start at level one and the player will have to use the tools to get them to a max of level three. Leveled tools may be charged up, by holding down the A button, to make it stronger. The higher the level, the less uses it takes to accomplish a task.
