Feeling overwhelmed by the grind in Fantasy Life i? Here’s a laid-back, practical guide to leveling every Life—Combat, Gathering, and Crafting—in the early game.
The Best XP Farming Spots for All Lives in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
In Fantasy Life i, you’ve got 14 different Lives (basically jobs) to explore. Some are combat-focused, some are all about gathering, and others are for crafting cool stuff. But no matter which Life you’re trying to level, one thing stays the same: you need XP.
The moment you hit Mysteria in Act 1 and get the freedom to switch between Lives, it can feel a bit overwhelming—there’s a lot to grind. But this guide breaks it down with the best early-game XP farming spots and tips for each type of Life, so you can level up faster and enjoy the ride. Other than this, checking where to find salt and crafting tools may be helpful for you.
⛏ Best XP Spots for Miner Life
- Novice Miner’s Pit (Lv 1–4)
Just above Eternia Village, this spot is part of your intro quest. It’s full of Level 2–5 Copper Ore deposits and great for getting to Lv 4 quickly. - Capital of Mysteria Outskirts (Lv 4–8)
Right outside the capital and down near the beach, you’ll find deposits ranging from Lv 6–9. Just reset them by walking in and out of the gate and keep mining. - Banaan Cave (Lv 8–20+)
West of the Capital. This place is packed with Copper and even a Fire Crystal you’ll want Bedrock Smash (unlocked at Lv 20) to break. Great XP spot for hitting Lv 30 during Act 1.
🪓 Best XP Spots for Woodcutter Life
- Eternia Village Beach (Lv 5–6)
Cut down Palm Trees along the coast for easy XP and materials you’ll need later for Carpenter Life. - Mysteria Capital Entrance (Lv 6–10)
Tons of Oak Trees to chop near the city. Simple and efficient route to level up fast. - Mysteria Capital Beaches & Cliffs (Lv 10–15+)
Near Banaan Cave and up on the cliffs by the river, you’ll find Palm and Oak Trees ranging from Lv 10–15. Once you unlock Charged Cut and the Sweet Spot Tracker, it’s way easier to speed through this grind.
🎣 Best XP Spots for Angler Life
- Lake Near Woodcutting Guild (Lv 1–5)
Chill fishing spot with easy catches. Nothing goes above Lv 3 here. - Eternia Village Dock (Lv 6–7)
Good variety of fish and lots of fast spawns. Great spot for climbing up to Lv 7. - Mysteria Capital Canals (Lv 7–11)
Fish around the canal piers. You’ll find Mysteria Koi here. If you’re lucky and level up enough, you can take on the “Boss Fish” in Banaan Cave later.
Bonus Tip: Invest early in +XP% nodes in your Life skill tree. Reset them at the Guild later once you’re done grinding.
⚔️ Best XP Spots for Combat Lives (Paladin, Mercenary, Hunter, Magician)
- Eternia Village Beach (Lv 1–4)
Toads and Lizards spawn nonstop. Just exit and re-enter the area to reset. Super easy XP for getting off the ground. - Mysteria Capital Fields/Beaches (Lv 4–10)
Tons of Tortortoise mobs on the beach. At night, you’ll find Red Wolves and Mini Spookys near each other—perfect for AoE grinding. - Banaan Cave (Lv 10–15+)
Proto Beetles and high-level Tunoco Lizards spawn in packs. Use AoE moves (like Mage or Hunter skills) to wipe them fast. Exit and re-enter to reset the mobs.
Combat tip: Hunter and Mage are especially good at farming XP thanks to their AoE skills. Try out every Combat Life before you go all in.
🧵 How to Quickly Level Crafting Lives
Crafting can feel like a grind thanks to the minigame, but here’s how to make it way easier:
- Stock up on materials.
Gather or just buy mats with the Dosh you earn from quests and mob drops. - Craft until you unlock Auto-Craft.
Most Crafting Lives get Auto-Craft in the Fledgling or Apprentice nodes (usually top-center in the skill tree). Go for those early. - Auto-craft in bulk.
Once unlocked, it makes life way easier. Spam-craft items, sell the extras, buy more mats, repeat. - Invest in +XP% nodes.
These help you level up faster. Once you’re done leveling a Life, reset your skills at the Guild to shift points into more useful stuff. - Start 2-star recipes when possible.
These give more XP per item. You’ll need to play the minigame again until you unlock Auto-Craft for the next recipe tier.
- Don’t try to max out every Life at once. Focus on the combos that feed each other (like Miner + Blacksmith, Woodcutter + Carpenter).
- Respec often—XP boosts are great early but not forever.
- The early game is where you set up your long-term success, so take your time, enjoy the grind, and mix it up when you start to burn out.
You’ve got this—go live your best (fantasy) life.
