Upgrading your hammer will take a bit more work in The Winds of Anthos. You can secure an upgrade from the town crafter in Zimagrad Village, a snow-covered town in the north. While you’ll just need the proper materials and enough Gold to purchase the hammer upgrade, getting to Zimagrad will take some time.

This is because you’ll first need to traverse the harsh terrain leading to its entrance with the help of heat-inducing food like Coffee and Stew. Fortunately, you won’t need to rough it for too long. You can purchase Warm Clothes in the village once you’ve earned a four-star Cultural Level.

That’s how to upgrade your axe and hammer in The Winds of Anthos. Securing resources and saving stamina will be made much easier with the help of your new-and-improved tools. For more on life in Anthos, visit our Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos guides hub.
