Looking to collect every tool in Fantasy Life i without spending your precious Dosh? Whether you want to mine, cook, or craft your way through the world of Reveria, you’ll need a full set of Life Tools. The good news is — you can get them all for free.
This guide will show you how to unlock every tool in the game by simply playing the Life system as intended.
No need to visit shops or waste money. Let’s get started.
All Life Tools in Fantasy Life i
There are nine essential Life Tools, each tied to a specific Life (job class):
-
Pickaxe – For Miners
-
Axe – For Woodcutters
-
Fishing Rod – For Anglers
-
Frying Pan – For Cooks
-
Hammer – For Blacksmiths
-
Saw – For Carpenters
-
Needle – For Tailors
-
Flask – For Alchemists
Each tool is only usable when you’ve activated the corresponding Life.
How to Get Tools for Free
Step 1: Visit the Guild Office
Head to the Guild Office in Eternia Village.
There, you can choose to start a new Life — which is the game’s job system. This is completely free.
Step 2: Choose the Life You Want
Select the Life that corresponds to the tool you want:
-
Want to mine? Pick Miner Life.
-
Want to cook? Pick Cook Life.
-
Want to chop trees? Pick Woodcutter Life.
Step 3: Complete the Short Tutorial
Once you start a Life, you’ll be guided through a basic tutorial. Completing this will automatically grant you a Bronze version of the related tool:
-
Miner Life → Bronze Pickaxe
-
Cook Life → Bronze Frying Pan, etc.
This is the most efficient and intended way to get tools in Fantasy Life i — free, fast, and functional.
Why You Should Avoid Buying Tools
Although tools are sold at the General Goods Store in Eternia Village, buying them is not recommended:
-
They cost Dosh, which is better saved for materials and upgrades.
-
You can’t even use the tool unless you’ve activated the related Life.
-
Purchased tools offer no gameplay advantage over the free Bronze tools you unlock naturally.
In short: don’t spend gold when you don’t need to.
Tips to Use and Upgrade Tools Effectively
-
Switch Lives Anytime: You can freely change between Lives depending on your current task — farming, crafting, or gathering.
-
Upgrade Your Tools: Start with Bronze, then use crafting to upgrade to Iron, Silver, and beyond. Better tools = faster gathering and higher-quality items.
-
Plan Your Progress: Unlock the tools you need most first. If you’re gathering materials early on, start with Miner or Woodcutter. If you’re crafting gear, try Blacksmith or Tailor next.
Final Thoughts
Getting every tool in Fantasy Life i is easy if you play smart.
Instead of buying tools, just start each Life from the Guild Office to unlock them for free. Not only will you save Dosh, but you’ll also learn how to use each tool properly through guided gameplay.
Prioritize the Lives that match your goals, and before long, you’ll be fully equipped for any task — no spending required.
