Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - Page 2 of 5

In order to have success in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life players will need a solid shed of tools to care for their farms. However, this won't be as straightforward as other recent Story of Seasons titles. Instead of amassing wood, stone, and various precious metals to take to the town's blacksmith, tools need to be purchased from local vendors or obtained from townsfolk after completing certain requirements. Because many of the tool sets need a specific timeframe or set of requirements to be met in A Wonderful Life, we have put together this guide to break down where to find them, how much they cost, and when they become available in Forgotten Valley.

The first set of these tools will be gifted from Takakura in the Spring of year 1. Additionally, players will need A Brush, Milker, and Clippers to care for animals. Each of these will have specific requirements to obtain. The last tool to pick up is the Fishing Rod, which can be easy to miss if you don't look in the right place.

How to Get The Brush & Fishing Rod in SoS: A Wonderful Life When getting set up in A Wonderful Life, I very nearly missed a few important things about buying tools. First, you won't get the Brush or the Fishing Rod from Takakura or anyone in town. The Brush is purchased from Van starting Spring 3 Year 1 and the Fishing Rod is bought from Van after purchasing the Brush. Additionally, upgrades for tools don't unlock immediately, or all at once. This can make saving for and buying the things you need tricky. Players will also find that immediately upgrading their tools as soon as they become available isn't always the best option. For example, upgrading to Silver Tools isn't required until you have unlocked the Amazing Field farming area. Because of this, it is better to save money for facility or livestock purchases, than pay the steep upgrade prices for the next tier of tools. Tip: Players will also find that the Goddess Tools aren't available via Van's shop. Instead, they will need to level up the townsfolk and unlock the Bulletin Board quests to get access to the upgrades. This can take the duration of the game if players don't start giving gifts in year one. Van's Shop Hours in SoS: A Wonderful Life Screenshot by Gamepur Players will have the opportunity to access Van's shop twice a season. The dates he sets up his shop beside the Inn are the 3rd and 8th of the season. During this time, his inventory will update to provide the newest options, and he will allow you to sell any goods, items, or cooked dishes for profit. It is important to note that this is the only way to sell mining artifacts, as they can't go into the shipping bin beside the ledger outside the player's home.
