Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea – How to Upgrade Your Pickaxe
Upgrading your pickaxe in Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea is essential if you want to mine faster, collect rare minerals, and break harder rocks around the world.
The game features three major pickaxe upgrades: Expert, Master, and Legendary. Each level increases mining power, reduces stamina consumption, and makes gathering resources much easier.
Here is where to upgrade your pickaxe, how much each upgrade costs, and which materials you need.
1. Where to upgrade your pickaxe
You can upgrade your pickaxe at two locations in Quarrytop:
Glenn's Crafting Shop: Located in Quarrytop.

| Material | Quantity |

| Gold | 5 |
| Sturdy Square Lumber | 4 |
| Master Pickaxe | 1 |

This is the best choice if you want to maximize your mining efficiency.
5. Where to find the upgrade materials
Some of the required materials need to be refined before you can use them.
Bronze
Bronze is made by refining 2 Bronze Ore at a crafting shop.
You can find Bronze Ore in Quarrytop Mine, particularly on floors 6–50.
Silver
Silver requires 2 Silver Ore to produce one refined Silver.
You can find Silver Ore on floors 11–50 of Quarrytop Mine.
Gold
Gold is made by refining 2 Gold Ore.
Gold Ore starts appearing on floor 21 of Quarrytop Mine.
Square Lumber
Take regular Lumber to a crafting shop to produce Square Lumber.
Palm Square Lumber
Collect Palm Lumber from palm trees and refine it at a crafting shop. You can find the trees in areas such as Tidewind.
Sturdy Square Lumber
Collect Sturdy Lumber by chopping sturdy trees. You will generally need an Expert Axe or better to cut these trees.
6. Why should you upgrade your pickaxe?
Upgrading your pickaxe is not just about breaking rocks faster.
A stronger tool also helps you access resources that are required for other crafting recipes and story progression.
Some important materials, including Adamantite, Damascus Steel, Orichalcum, Platinum, and Titanium, are associated with harder deposits outside the mine that require the Expert Pickaxe or better.
Inside Quarrytop Mine, any pickaxe can break the ore deposits, but stronger tools make the process much faster.
7. Best strategy for upgrading your pickaxe
If you want to save time and Gold, follow this progression:
Get the Expert Pickaxe as soon as you reach Quarrytop.
Collect Bronze and Square Lumber before visiting Glenn.
Complete Quarrytop Chapter 1 to unlock the Master upgrade.
Explore deeper mine floors to collect Silver and Gold.
Complete Quarrytop Chapter 2 to unlock the Legendary upgrade.
Save Sturdy Square Lumber for the final crafting step.
My recommendation is to prioritize the Expert Pickaxe early. It opens access to important resources and makes later upgrades much easier.
Final Verdict
The pickaxe upgrade system in Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea has three main levels: Expert, Master, and Legendary.
You can craft them at Glenn's Crafting Shop or the Quarrytop Mine Reception. The Legendary Pickaxe reaches 80 mining power and reduces stamina consumption to just 2 points per use.
If mining is an important part of your farming progression, upgrading this tool should be one of your priorities.
