question on gathering eq

[NikJ]

I am completely new. Played a total of 2 days so far. I am only lvl 14. I say all this so that you all realize I don't know hardly anything about the game. Is there better gathering eq? All I find is lvl 1 stuff. Lvl 1 mining pick, etc. So is there better stuff? can I craft a better one? like pick + pick = higher level pick? or is there a shop that sells higher level ones?

hi welcome to FS
No you cant get better "gathering equipments" by combining it, all you can do is buy it from AP shop
except for Fine Herb Hoe, you can get it from story quest (gather cordyceps)
good luck
