| Upgrades | Slots | Level Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (base) | 2 | N/A (crafted) |
| 1 | 3 | 3 |
| 2 | 4 | 5 |

Note the level cost is the cost for that upgrade so upgrade 1 costs 3 levels to get the 3rd slot while upgrade 7 costs 30 levels to unlock the 9th slot
Advanced Usage
There are many tricks to using the Tool Belt in the most efficient way. It can hold ANY unstackable item, not just weapons, so filled buckets, shields, lycanites tools/weapons, and even healing items added by Rough Tweaks are all examples of items that can be stored in a Tool Belt. Here are some of the best items to keep permanently in your Tool Belt
- Bucket of Water - You have to drink in RLCraft constantly so it's nice to be able to take water with you on-the-go! Bonus, empty buckets are stackable and can't go back in so the Tool Belt will help you remember to pick up your water
- Shovel/Pickaxe/Axe - RLCraft is not really supposed to be played like regular Minecraft, but you should still carry these tools with you to make traveling a little easier. In the early-to-mid section of the game consider making yourself an Iron Paxel at the Equipment Forge to combine all these tools into one unbreakable iron tool.
- Potion Ring of Regeneration - While this won't do you any good in the middle of a fight, this is an excellent item to keep around to heal up. This is a mid- to late-game item, but you can store Rough Tweaks healing items in your belt until you can make one.
- Spare Tool Belts - If you are planning a long trip it may be a good idea to create a few extra Tool Belts, upgrade them, and put them in a summoned Mount so you can hold all your enchanted books
