Steel Shovel
The Steel Shovel is the best shovel: it adds Farming mastery +6 while it is on your toolbar. You forge it at the Steel Anvil, with a Hardening Bucket, from 2 Sticks, 2 Steel Details and a Steel Ingot. The recipe comes with Steel Instruments II (150 red, 20 blue) and needs Smithing mastery 10.
The town Vegetable Stand sells one at tier III.

Notes
- All four shovels on the toolbar give Farming 13. Three-star pumpkins and grapes need 16, so add a rod: the Advanced Rod brings it to 17.
- Studying it costs 10 Science and gives 100 red and 20 blue.
