Miner Life Skills And Tips

TheMiner Life has many special skillsthat grant bonuses to the damage that players do toDeposits,and also grant other important buffs and active skills needed to break nodes and collect resources. Most resources will appear marked in the mini-map and the map tab, and players can hover over them to visualize the type and level of the node.

Another important detail players need to know about is the existence of ‘Sweet Spots’, which are presentin all resource nodes, including Trees, Fish Spots, and, of course, Deposits/Crystals. All resource nodes ‘recover HP’ as time passes, and while the collection mini-game is active, they will slowly regain their health bar while the players struggle to break them.

The Miner Life has four particular skills that can accelerate the process of leveling up, and players should aim to unlock these nodes in the Skill Tree as fast as possible:

Miner Buddies (like Duglas) can help players break Deposits and Crystals. Equipping them with Miners Picks and a Miners Set will increase the damage they do to the resource nodes, helping players overcome the most difficult of mining challenges.

How To Level Up Miner In Fantasy Life i

First, players need to go to the Novice Miner’s Pit on the northeast side of Eternia Village following the apprentice Miner quest, and once they find Beryl, they will be able to gather tons of ores in the Pit. The Copper Ore Deposits in this location go from Level 2 to 5, will help players reach level 5/6 quite fast.

The quest will guide them to the Capital of Mysteria, where there are several Level 4 to 8 nodes on the cliffs overlooking the beaches at both sides of the city. Farm XP in these deposits, and when they deplete, simply get out of the zone using the north road and come back to farm more copper.

Once players reach level 8/10,Banaan Cave will be their next destination. The entrance to this cave is west of the Capital of Mysteria, on the beach below the road, and has tons of Copper deposits of several qualities from level 9 to 15, and most importantly: The Fire Crystal that players can use to reach Level 30+, and respawns every 5 minutes.

So, this would be the ideal route once players reach that location and at least level 17-18 in Miner:
