# Tools

### Overview

Custom tools drive gathering progression.

Each tool type supports a different skill path.

That includes farming, fishing, foraging, mining, excavation, and archaeology.

Tools can improve XP, luck, fortune, speed, radius, replanting, growth, mutation chance, magnet chance, autosmelt, vein mining, and other utility stats.

Some tools come from skill progression.

Some are made through **Supercraft**.

Others come from NPCs, bosses, events, or special content.

{% hint style="info" %}
The best tool depends on the skill you are training.

A strong fishing rod does not replace a strong mining pickaxe.

### Mutation hoes

Mutation hoes are built for mutated crop farming in [Farmlands](/orange-smp-wiki/areas/farmlands.md).

They focus on **Crop Mutation Chance** and **Crop Mutation Fortune**.

Hold a mutation hoe and use:

```
/mutation
```

This shows your mutation progress and current hoe progress.

### Tool progression tips

Focus on the tool that matches the skill you are leveling.

If you are farming, upgrade hoes.

If you are mining, upgrade pickaxes.

If you are fishing, upgrade rods.

Stronger tools usually give better luck, fortune, XP, speed, or skill-specific utility.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Pick a main skill

Choose the gathering skill you use most.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Upgrade the matching tool first

Put early upgrades into that skill's main tool line.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add specialist tools later

Pick up mutation hoes, utility tools, or niche tools once your main setup is stable.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Some powerful tools are made through **Supercraft**.

Others are unlocked through NPCs, bosses, progression systems, or special areas.
