8Pick A Combat Life First

Players Need To Be Able To Protect Themselves

When players first startFantasy Life I, they will be instructed to pick a life for themselves so that they don’t become a lazy imp. While it may be tempting to choose one of the gathering or crafting lives first, such as Woodcutter or Blacksmith, players should instead focus their attention on the combat lives.

By selecting something such as Paladin, Mercenary, Hunter, or Magician, a player will be able to protect themselves easily while exploring inFantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time. This life can also be leveled whilefocusing on other lives, too.

7Always Craft Better Tools

Players Can Make Tools Of Different Quality

As players level in their respective lives inFantasy Life I, players will be required toimprove their tools alongside their level. Depending on the life, this tool or weapon will either deal more damage or do its job quicker. Crafting these tools instead of purchasing them is much cheaper and allows the player to save their Dosh for other things.

Although it may be tempting to craft tools that are a different resource, such as Oak Saws being turned into Pine Saws, players should instead focus on mastering the recipe of the previous tool level, as they are far more likely to create a tool or weapon that is of better quality with much cheaper resources.

6Pick Up Everything

Every Resource Has A Purpose

Another vital beginner’s tip, which may seem a little obvious, is making sure the player picks up everything they encounter. From herbs to shells, each resource inFantasy Lifehas a purpose, as each thing can be used in one of the many lives available to the player.

Although certain parts of the player’s inventory may have a limit on how much can be held, the materials part of the player’s inventory does not. Therefore, a player never has to worry about running out of space. Players will be much happier with themselves once they encounter recipes that do need something they have picked up, as they’ll be able to craft it instantly.

5Explore The Islands For Rewards

Players Are Encouraged To Look Around

As players progress through the story ofFantasy Life I, the game will encourage the player to explore more. When in the past of the island the game is set on, a board will appear outside the Guild Office. When interacting with this board, it will give the player various tasks to do around the island.

While some are simple tasks, such as choosing a gathering life orspending a certain amount of money, other tasks encourage the player to visit locations on the island they may not have visited otherwise.

4Purchase Recipes From Merchants

It’s Cheaper In The Long Run

The currency of Dosh is the main way players will purchase various resources, items, and other things from merchants in the main capital ofFantasy Life I. While players may feel tempted to purchase a ready-made weapon or tool from the merchants, they should instead see if they have any recipes available.

Looking for crafting recipes not only means players can make their own custom tools, but many of these recipes are also for crafting furniture, which players can then use to customize their home to give it a more personal touch. They could possibly also make a profit from selling the things they have crafted from these recipes.

2Try Out Every Life

Lives Work Well Together

It costs nothing to change to a different life inFantasy Life, so a player shouldn’t limit the number of lives they take part in. Every life gives the player a different set of adorable clothing and an assortment of tasks to complete to better themselves in that life.

Besides the enjoyment factor of each and every life in this RPG, many of the lives work well together. For example, the Woodcutter life is a useful gathering life to have. By having this life, the player can chop trees. These resources can then be used by the Carpenter life to create not only furniture, but also the weapons used by both Hunters and Magicians.
