Unlocking tools is simple enough as the storyline will lead you right to them. Completing quests unlocks tools in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but upgrading them is a different beast. While you can distribute skill points anywhere on the map with a single button, you’ll need to visit specific vendors to upgrade the best tools.
Where to upgrade tools in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
You can upgrade tools at Hidden Ones Bureaus. Every time you get into a new district, you’ll unlock a new Hidden Ones Bureau through the Mirage quest line you’re on, and there will be a vendor inside who will upgrade your tools for you.
I use Hidden Ones Bureaus as Fast Travel points and I check in with the vendor there before leaving to see if I have pending upgrades.
