🟠 Copper Hoe
The Copper Hoe is the first upgrade to the basic Hoe in Stardew Valley. It is obtained by bringing 5 Copper Bars and 2,000g to the Blacksmith. The Copper Hoe allows the player to charge up and till multiple tiles of soil at once, making it easier to prepare farmland quickly at the start of each season.
⚒️ Uses
The Copper Hoe improves upon the standard Hoe in the following ways:
- Tills up to 3 tiles in a straight line when charged
- Speeds up farmland preparation for planting seeds
- Still usable for uncovering Artifact Spots and buried items
- Useful for early-season replanting on larger farms
