About Mining... Mining is definitly important in this game.You have to mine to be able to upgrade your tools, which is important to advance farther in the game. Without upgrading your tools, you will not be able to get rid of stumps and rocks, or, more importantly, defeat the ever-toughening monsters. Mining is also a good way to make additional money, known as gold(g). b. The Hammer... The hammer is one of the most important tools in this game, along with the sword, hoe, watering can, and axe. Without it you simply cannot mine. To obtain the 'Cheap Hammer' you must till 50 squares anywhere in Carmite Cave. Then, go talk to Leo during store hours. He will give you the 'cheap hammer'. Besides mining, the hammer can be used to break rocks, un-till soil, and it can be used as a weapon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. ~Section 2~ a.
