Leveling tool skill (Guide)

In order to level up Tool Smithing, survivors can craft the tools from this list and/or repair them. The skill can also be leveled up by purchasing points accumulated from level-ups. The higher the skill level, the higher the quality of tools that can be crafted. This increases their durability and their damage output.

Levelling up Tool Smithing can be tricky in the early game, since Survivors will only have access to the stone axe and shovels. To begin levelling this skill effectively, a survivor should focus on establishing a forge, which gives access to the better-quality iron tools.

At quality levels 1-200, it generally takes 4 or 5 tools to make a tool 1 grade better than the previous tools made.

At qualities 201 and onwards, it can take anything from 5 tools to 20 or more tools to level up the quality and level of Tool Smithing as Survivors become more and more proficient in said skill.
