the watering can.

[Dayeity]

is the copper watering can even worth it to upgrade, as from what ive seen it looks like a downgrade that you lose a harvest over, and with the cost so high seems completely not worth it. am i missing something or is it really just not worth it?

It's worth. Check wiki: http://stardewvalleywiki.com/Tools#Watering

it doesnt say anything about the delay and 2k and 5 bars for 15 charges doesnt sound great when you plant your crops right next to the lake.

It's all about the 1x3 watering radius that saves you time AND energy

It does not just add water held. If you click and hold it will water additional plots. I admit copper and steel are week, but since I plant 3 x 9 sections for the most part, the gold upgrade is awesome. It wasters 3x3 sections.

How would you lose a harvest over it? If you mean that you cant water your plants for a day, bring your can to the blacksmith a day before it rains (after watering your crops that day). It will be finished the day after the rain. The upgrades might be a bit expensive but you save a lot of time and energy if you can water multiple plants at a time. First upgrade waters 3 plants in front of you, second upgrade 5, the third upgrade waters a box of 3X3 and the last 6X3. Im not sure about how much the last upgrade is worth it, at that point you can also have a couple of iridium sprinklers and not even need to water plants by yourself.

You do have to ask yourself how much you want to water your plants though. It's really easy to have some kind of automatic watering system, so i never upgraded my can... Don't see the point.

You can get some early watering can upgrades by checking the weather forecast for tomorrow, if it is going to rain then you can water your crops as per normal on that day (before the rainy day) then get Clint to upgrade it. You'll be able to receive your newly upgraded watering can after the rainy day.

You can also sneak in an upgrade near the end of the season like on the 27th of that season.

Really? steel watering can its so extremely useful for me, but then again I plan my harvest around my watering availability.

Like how many sprinkles I have and how far and long can I water. 5 deep its too useful and easy to use.

You have to go through each of the upgrades, you can't just skip to gold.

I upgraded to copper ASAP my first year. I found the 3x1 watering range to be incredibly useful early game. I did the upgrade over a rainy day, so didn't lose a harvest.

I didn't hit the mines until winter so didn't accumulate any gold before than (which you need for the quality sprinklers). The gold and iridium watering can upgrades make getting your crops watered the first day of the season much faster, but they aren't useful beyond that since you'll most likely have sprinklers.

When is available to upgrade to copper watering can in first year?
