There are two types of upgrades to the tool, Block affinity and loot modification. Block Affinity changes how the tool behaves on both building blocks and vault chests. While loot modification can improve the players stats to increase loot received, quality of loot and reduced the chance for the player to get a trap.
In addition to this there are unique jewels found in challenge rooms that provide a different benefit to the user, such as Mana Bloom which will give the player mana back when looting. For more details surrounding Unique Jewels please check the unique page.
