Harvest Tools

Each harvesting skill has a dedicated **tool** that improves your yields and component chances. ## One tool per skill - Xeno Tracking tool - Excavation tool - Core Mining tool - Xenobotany tool Tools are managed from each harvesting page and from **Inventory** → Harvest tools. ## Level upgrades Raising tool **level** increases resource output (+0.5% yield per level). Costs are shown on the upgrade panel and typically use gold. ## Tier upgrades Tool **tier** is a quality band similar to battle gear tiers. Higher tiers add a yield bonus that **stacks with tool level** (additive with each other). That tool total then **multiplies** with other resource bonuses (credit/platinum/clan/augment/VIP/server) and battle-level synergy. Tier upgrades use gold, platinum, and credits. Harvest ticks show **skill base + (combined bonus)** so the boost matches the combined yield bonus on the tool upgrade panel. ## Components Components such as Glowspore, Astral Bloom, and Meteor Shard drop rarely while harvesting. Collect them for battle gear upgrades — check Inventory to see what you hold. ## Related pages - **Harvesting Overview** - [**Harvest Drones**](https://www.idlegalaxia.com/help/drones) — tool level and tier also improve drone yields - [**Currencies & Materials**](https://www.idlegalaxia.com/help/currencies) - [**Personal Augments**](https://www.idlegalaxia.com/help/personal-augments) — harvesting section boosts
