Summary
Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Timecontinues to hook players withits variety of lives for the player to get stuck into. With several gathering lives for the player to explore, one of the most popular of the bunch that players will likely need when dealing with the other lives in the game is the Miner life.
As a Miner, the player will be able to harvest the various Ore and Gem nodes found across the different maps ofFantasy Life I. These can then be used by a blacksmith or an Alchemist to forge weaponry, armor, or even to make charms. However, some nodes of ore will be harder to mine than others, and therefore, players should make sure to purchase various skills from the Skill Board inFantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time. These are by far the best Miner skills players should consider working towards first.
8Item Drop Rate Plus
Increase The Ore Dropped By Each Node
The main reason players start the Miner’s life is to collect resources. Therefore, skills that increase the amount of resources the player can obtain are arguably some of the best skills on the Miner Skill Board. By heading north on the Skill Board, players will eventually encounter the Item Drop Rate Plus skill, which does exactly what the name of it would suggest.
Players gain a 10% increase in the item drop rate. This is perfectwhen hitting later levels, which require more valuable resources, as this skill will increase the player’s chances of rare drops, as well as increase the number of materials the player gets in general.
7SP Plus
Players Will Be Able To Mine For Longer
Even some of the simplest skills on the Miner Skill Board are some of the best for players to use. SP is one of the most important things for the player to have, as each strike with a pickaxe against metal or gems will cause this blue bar to decrease. This can become quite a painwhen taking on larger nodes or the rarer materials.
Thankfully, skills like SP Plus are brilliant for gradually increasing the total SP the player has when using the Miner life. Unlike some skills inFantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time, there are multiple SP Plus skills to purchase on the board, with the amount of SP given by the skill increasing the further down the player goes.
6Sweet Spot Search
Find The Weak Spot Of The Node
As mentioned, one of the most critical things players should consider when completing the Miner life is conserving SP so they can easily destroy the node they are after. As players can move their position around the rock to find the weak spot, players can waste less SP by purchasing the Sweet Spot Search skill.
Players can reduce the amount of SP they waste as they can locate the Sweet Spot on the Node without having to hit the rock. Therefore, players only spend a small amount of SP, which should regen by the time the player begins hitting this sweet spot.
5Mining Plus
Increase The Base Mining Stat
Another skill that players can purchase many of on the Miner Skill Board is Mining Plus. When mining inFantasy Life, the player’s damage is determined not only by the pickaxe used by the player, but also by their base mining stat. By heading east on the Mining skill board, players can improve this base stat.
While near the start, this may only increase the player’s Mining by 5, as they get further across anduse more skill points, the amount of increase of the Mining skill is also much higher, with some improving it even by 50.
4Ore Breaker
Strike Down With A Charged Attack
Although players can gain plenty of materials by mining with regular attacks, players will want to be able to do even more damage quickly as they progress onto harder materials. Ore Breaker is one of many skills that are perfect for dealing plenty of damage.
The first Ore Breaker skill the player purchases will unlock the charge attack for them. With this, players can channel their strength and an extra bit of SP into a larger attack, which is great for finishing off a node. Later, Ore Breaker skills will increase its damage.
3Gathering SP Reduced
Players Use Less SP When Using Certain Attacks
As players continue purchasing skills on the west side of the Mining Skill Board tobenefit them in mining ore, they will encounter skills that benefit others quite well. One great skill to gain after purchasing the Ore Breaker is the Gathering SP Reduced skill.
As the name of this one suggests, after purchasing this skill, the SP needed to charge the Ore Breaker attack is decreased by 5%. Although this may seem like quite an insignificant difference on paper, every little reduction to the SP used by the player helps greatly, as well as this not being the only reduction available.
2Good Vibrations
Ore And Gems Have Larger Sweet Spots
With the Sweet Spot being one of the most crucial things for the player to exploit inFantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time, any skill that increases the player’s chances of hitting the sweet spot is a must-buy. Good Vibrations does exactly that as it increases the radius of the Sweet Spot by 100%. This means players can spend less time searching for the Sweet Spot of a mining node and more time mining it.
The only issue with the skill Good Vibrations is that players will need to invest many skill points from leveling the Miner life inFantasy Life Ito heading to the very bottom of the skill tree. Players will also be required to have bought 50 other skills on the Skill Board before Good Vibrations will unlock for them.
1Bedrock Smash
Players Unlock A Super Skill For Mining
Out of all the skills available on the Mining Skill Board inFantasy Life I, by far the best of the bunch that players should be sure to purchase as soon as possible is the Bedrock Smash Skill. Every life inFantasy Lifehas a special skill that can be charged while completing actions from that life, with the Miner’s life being no different.
Once a player has hit a node a few times, this will charge the special skill to the max, then the player cansupersize their pickaxeto deal a significant amount of damage, which could destroy some nodes in one go.
