In this guide, I will list the basic items on Luma Island, the tools.
List of All Tools, Items
Tools are essential items in Luma Island, serving as the primary means for gathering materials, fighting enemies, solving puzzles, and progressing through the game. Each tool serves a specific purpose to aid the player in their journey.
Players start with Copper-tier tools at Level 1 auto. While most tools can be improved, certain utility items, such as the Bug Net and the Watering Can – cannot be upgraded. These serve specialized purposes that remain constant throughout the game.
Each Upgradable tool can be improved up to Level 5 auto within their tier, meaning they can be enhanced a total of four times before reaching their tier’s maximum. Once a tool reaches its max level, players can progress to the next tier and continue upgrading until they reach the highest tier of tools available in the game.
Although a Tin tier is referenced in the game’s files, it is not accessible to players.

Damage System and Tool Mechanics in Luma Island
Tools in Luma Island have a base damage of 100, which increases as they are upgraded. Objects and enemies in the game are assigned specific HP values depending on the area they are located in. For example, a tree in the Farm Area has 700 HP, while a tree in the Forest Area has 1200 HP. This scaling ensures a consistent challenge as players progress through different zones.
A key observation in the system is the correlation between tool tiers, levels, and the number of hits required to break an object or defeat an enemy. Tools are designed so that Level 1 tools of the appropriate tier always require 7 hits to destroy an object or kill an enemy in the same area.
For instance:
- A Level 1 Copper Axe deals 100 damage per hit, requiring 7 hits to chop down a Farm Tree (700 HP).
- When upgraded to Iron Tier, Iron Axe deals more damage and can chop a Farm Tree in 2 hits.
- However, in the Forest Area, where trees have 1200 HP, the same Level 1 Iron Axe would take 7 hits because of the increased HP of the objects.
Enemies
The scaling system also applies to enemies like spiders. For example, the Farm Spider, with 700 HP, takes 7 hits to defeat using a Level 1 Copper Whip, which matches its 100 base damage per hit. Similarly, spiders in tougher areas with higher HP require more hits unless the tool or weapon tier is upgraded and matches the Area.
