Long guide

Level up means upgrading the correct visible layer

The Journal can show a current-run Hand objective and tool upgrades, while Lobby upgrades stay separate; do not treat them as one Player Level, Account Level, or XP bar. When the Journal says Upgrade your hand (0/1), open the current run's Journal, choose Upgrades, stay in the HAND column, select a visible Hold, Dexterity, or Grasp option you can afford, press BUY once, then verify a Hand-state, cash, success-message, or objective change.

Buying a Lobby upgrade, Bag, Rake, or Leaf Blower does not by itself complete the Hand objective. Prices and available choices can differ by account and run. Use the current displayed price, and stop repeated spending if the Hand screen and objective do not change after one new-server check.

Before you follow the route

Use the live HUD and the visible result after each step before moving to the next one.

  1. 01

    Confirm the objective and upgrade layer

    Do this

    The Journal can show a current-run Hand objective and tool upgrades, while Lobby upgrades stay separate; do not treat them as one Player Level, Account Level, or XP bar. Proceed only when the live objective is Upgrade your hand.

    You should see

    You are in the current run's HAND upgrade screen, not the Lobby or a tool purchase point.

  2. 02

    Buy one visible Hand upgrade

    Do this

    When the Journal says Upgrade your hand (0/1), open the current run's Journal, choose Upgrades, stay in the HAND column, select a visible Hold, Dexterity, or Grasp option you can afford, press BUY once, then verify a Hand-state, cash, success-message, or objective change.

    You should see

    At least one visible Hand, cash, success, or objective signal changes.

    If it differs

    Use the current displayed price; do not assume one option is always best.
