SCROOMS Equip Instruments: Use the Equipment Bag
Select an owned instrument, equip it, close the Equipment Bag, and finish the guitar tutorial without confusing the Index and Quest Log.
Equip an owned SCROOMS instrument through Equipment Bag → Instruments, select the instrument, equip it, and close the bag. A purchase puts the item in your equipment collection; the equip action is what makes it your active catching choice.
Change gear from the Instruments tab
Open the Equipment Bag from the hotbar. Select Instruments rather than the Index or Quest Log, choose the instrument you own, and use its equip action. Close the bag when you are finished, then return to your instrument and begin a catching attempt.
During the opening tutorial, this sequence follows the Tamer’s Guitar purchase. Closing the Equipment Bag is included in the tutorial instructions, so finish that action before deciding the purchase has failed to advance the task.
| Menu | Use it for | It does not do this |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment Bag: Instruments | Select and equip owned catching gear | Discover an uncaught creature for you |
| Index | Inspect creature discoveries | Equip a purchased instrument |
| Quest Log | Read the current task | Confirm an equipment change |
Confirm the right tool before another attempt
Check the selected instrument name in the bag when you change equipment. That name is more useful than remembering which shop item you clicked several minutes ago. If the tutorial still asks you to equip the guitar, revisit the Instruments tab and select the guitar itself, then close the bag.
Your hotbar also contains the Index and Quest Log. Those menus help plan catches and read tasks, but neither changes the equipped instrument. The Ocarina appears later in its own slot after its unlock quest and performs song actions rather than the same catching job.
Decide whether a gear change is needed
Change instruments for a reason: more control for a difficult catch, faster tuning for repeated attempts, or greater frequency reach for a target. You can use the instrument stats page to identify that reason before comparing gear.
If you have not received any instrument yet, finish Leo's Wooden Lute gift first. If you have bought the guitar but the opening task remains unfinished, complete the select, equip, and close sequence rather than buying another item.
Use the Equipment Bag in the official Roblox experience to confirm the selected tool.
