Where to find the Disney Dreamlight Valley Royal Tools
Collect these essential Disney Dreamlight Valley tools to begin your adventure
Getting the Disney Dreamlight Valley Royal Tools is one the first quests to do in the game, and you'll need them to do pretty much everything else, so grab them from around the Plaza quickly. The four tools are essential for gathering critical resources in Disney Dreamlight Valley, such as mining for gems, planting seeds, or fishing for... fish. When you begin playing, make sure you consult Merlin the Wizard to get the quest, and you can begin your search. Here's where to look in Disney Dreamlight Valley for the Pickaxe, Shovel, Watering Can, and Fishing Rod.

You can collect these Disney Dreamlight Valley tools in any order, with the exception of the Fishing Rod as it's contained within a separate area that you need the Pickaxe to access. The Fishing Rod also requires you to complete a slightly more involved quest before you can add it to your tool set in Disney Dreamlight Valley. If you're ready to get equipped for the journey ahead, then here are all of the Disney Dreamlight Valley Royal Tools locations.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Pickaxe Royal Tool
The Pickaxe Royal Tool can be found to the southeast of the opening Plaza area, poking out of some glowing blighted stone.
Once you pull out the Pickaxe, a beam of light will shoot upwards and clear the sky, removing the darkness and unlocking the day and night cycle that matches your own local time. The Pickaxe can be used to mine rocks and minerals, as well as clearing them out of the way to remove obstacles. Mining things will progress a lots of challenges that award Disney Dreamlight Valley Dreamlight, and any gemstones you collect from mining rock veins, including Disney Dreamlight Valley Emeralds, can be sold for Star Coins.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Shovel Royal Tool
The Shovel Royal Tool is located to the northeast of the Plaza area, sticking out of the ground to the left of the derelict Ratatouille restaurant Chez Remy. Once you've got the restaurant restored, you can serve Remy the famous ratatouille recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Depending on which direction you approach from, you may need to clear some of the surrounding Night Thorns in order to reach the Shovel. Once collected, you can use it to dig up certain obstacles blocking your way, as well as to make holes that you can then plant seeds in.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Watering Can Royal Tool
The Watering Can Royal Tool is actually right next to where you start this quest, in the northwest part of the Plaza area behind your new home.
It's a little difficult to spot the Watering Can at first as it's hidden behind some broken barrels, so remove the nearby obstacles and look for the glowing item beyond. The Watering Can is used to water flowers and crops, to encourage them to grow so you can harvest them in the future. Upgrade it and it can also break down the more stubborn mushrooms that block certain paths - you'll need to complete Merlin's Final Trial and get Disney Dreamlight Valley Falling Water and an Ice Heart.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Fishing Rod Royal Tool
The Fishing Rod Royal Tool requires the most work to collect, as you first need to gain access to the Peaceful Meadow area south of the Plaza by using the Pickaxe to clear a path, then head to the small pond on the northwest side.
Use the fishing rod to reel in some Disney Dreamlight Valley Lobsters for some great meals
Here you'll find a Broken Fishing Rod, which you then need to take to Goofy - one of the many Disney Dreamlight Valley characters you'll meet along the way - as part of the Fishing Expedition quest by heading east to his house and interacting with the front door. Talk to Goofy inside and hand over the broken item, which he will then replace with a working Fishing Rod. Follow Goofy to the fishing spot and work through the remaining Fishing Expedition steps to complete the quest. While the fishing rod is used to catch fish and seafood from ripples in water - look out for Lobsters in Disney Dreamlight Valley - you can also collect seaweed in Disney Dreamlight Valley by fishing outside the ripples!
With all four of the Disney Dreamlight Valley Royal Tools collected, you can now go and meet Merlin at the Dream Castle to complete The Royal Tools questline. Be aware that each time you use a Royal Tool, you'll be losing Disney Dreamlight Valley Energy which must be replenished! At this early stage in the game, you can also collect any items from Disney Dreamlight Valley Founder's Packs.
