At the start of Kitaria Fables, players may notice that they are stationed at a farm. On the farm is a crop field, target dummies, your house, and a locked chest. As you progress through the first two days of play, you'll receive tasks that send you to different locations, but stop when you're tasked with growing vegetables in the field next to your house.
It's tricky, because you don't actually have the tools to grow vegetables, and the tutorial doesn't clearly show where you need to get them. Fortunately, there is a simple answer.
Where to get tools
This locked chest that is on your farm will be unlocked when you receive the task to start a farm from Kiki. Inside this chest are the tools you need to complete the task, as well as some tools you can use to harvest other resources like trees and stones. Climb into the chest in your field and open it to transfer the tools to your inventory.
How to Equip Tools

Once you have the tools in your inventory, you're faced with another challenge: equipping them. You can only equip one item at a time between tools, weapons, etc. If you want to use a hoe, you must have it in your active inventory slot instead of your sword. An example of this can be seen in the image above. To equip the tool, follow one of the two options below.
- Press the assigned button to auto-equip an item (blue square above).
- Move the cursor/select the box with the tool you want, select it, then move the cursor/select the box you want to move it to and select it again (green and red boxes above)
It may seem like a daunting task, but there is an alternate method to get to some of your weapons faster. In the image above, you can see that you can hotkey your gear in the last four hotkey slots (the first four are for abilities). Press the button it shows you to equip it with a hotkey (green square), then press the key you want to equip it to (right image). With these four slots, if you ever need a tool or weapon quickly, you can pull it out by pressing its hotkey without having to go into your inventory!
All things considered, inventory management for the game is a bit clunky. Yet, this is where you get the tools and how to equip them!
