Fantasy Life General Thread

Could you tell me your favorite parts of the DLC? o: Maybe why I should buy it and stuff? o:

Also, is it like separate from the original world? Is it sort of like Terra Nimbus and you fly there?

The DLC adds another world! So like Terra nimbus. You get there in a special way. Sorry for being vague, haha.

I quite liked the additional areas and the more "challenging" areas where new "boss" monsters and whatnot spawned. There's a special tower with three trials which get progressively harder as you go.

The DLC also adds new crafts and additional ranks! I felt super satisfied when I crafted myself the best gear in the game and got some sweet armour and weapons. There's also the lunares coins system that's exclusive to the DLC, which gives neat armour, weapons, mounts and other cool stuff. You also unlock new holiday homes, making it easier to warp here and there.

I think it probably doubled the amount of time I spent playing the game. I'm god ranked in I think 5-6 classes, and I'm kinda burnt out now xD but I've clocked over 100h playing, which is nice.

Do you have anything else you'd like to know? :0

Hi, I've been trying to get some Earth Mana, but I don't seem to have much luck on it. I've been defeating Spirits of Earth in the Elderwood, trying to get some, (I need three for a quest, and I don't really want to buy any) but the only things they drop for me are Tool-upgrade Stones! Is Earth Mana really that rare, or am I just having bad luck?

Ooh, I heard there were new pets, customization, and mounts. o: Anything about that in specifics? Maybe some pictures? :3

New pets are birds and dragons, which you can see here: http://fantasy-life.wikia.com/wiki/Pets
haven't seen a page that outlines all the DLC customization, but there are new hair colours and hairstyles (you can get the hairstyles of most of the characters you interact with e.g. Damien). in the new dlc area, there's a place where you can completely re-do how your character looks for 150k.

Pics of the new mounts are in the tag:

mounts work the same way as your horse, so they don't vanish once you get off them, but if they're attacked they run away.
Mounts are specific to places too, so you unfortunately can't ride a deer at port puerto unless you ride it all the way from castele.

Hi, try increasing your luck.. if you're a woodcutter, the earth tree near port puerto may also drop some mana

Finally starting up my Life!

 

[snapdragon]

Any advice on which order to go through Life? I started as the Tailor--are there benefits to maxing in one Life before moving onto another? Can you stay with one Life and get through the game?

 

[pocky]

Just got the game. Currently saving TBT to get the expansion
Love it! It's such a cute game

Which Life did you choose?

 

[infinikitten]

I've been debating picking up this game for a while now, since I have Rune Factory and some other similar games hanging around. But at the same time, IT CALLS TO ME~

Especially after perusing this thread. I don't know how much longer I can hold off on grabbing it.

I started as a tailor as well then eventually picked up wizard and alchemist. Although I woudl recommend you become a miner and a woodcutter as early as now so you can mine/cut ores/trees now.. you'll need it for a quest and some crafting recipes

Ok! Thank you for the advice!

I chose the life of a magician So far I'm loving it!

I didn't get to play much today though cause I was busy trying to get enough bells for the expansion (Needed to get it otherwise I couldnt connect with my friend) But now that I got the expansion I can finally play!

 

[Mentlegen]

I might pick this game up again...

Not too sure when, but it's good to see that people are still playing

 

[mogyay]

right, so i'm just getting into this game again & i have a few questions

. what should i be wearing when doing the woodcutter, miner vocations? i realise they give me clothes to start with but as far as i'm aware they don't contribute to anything. for example added skills or whatever? so is there anything that will give me a boost to help with these skills?

. is finding elder logs in trees just luck? i'm having little luck finding any unless it's from the great oak tress, i never seem to find any from normal ones

. i don't suppose there's any followers that can heal me?

. my pets are really bad companions? is it better if i use a human friend? what's the best set up?

I want to try that Life too! Sounds really fun

I'll wait on the expansion since I heard you have to be level 50 to get any use out of it. I'm level 2 xD

-I'm not too sure if there's are equipments that help you with woodcutting or mining early on but the hero rank armor does help in mining and woodcutting and eventually you can add special effects on the things you craft that can help too.

-pretty much, yeah.. it's usually luck. But if your last hit on the tree/ore is excellent, chances are you get more drops (3 for regular trees/ores and up to 5 for big trees/ores) which of course increases your chances somehow. Usually I cut/mine till it has a bit of hp then I use the X charge attack

-There are some followers later in the game who can heal you.. post-story mostly

-there are good npc's to bring. I don't want to name them cause I don't want to spoil you just in case you aren't too far in the game

 

[Nerd House]

I honestly forgot I had Fantasy Life, which makes me quite upset because when I was announced I was super-psyched for it. I got it and played it for a decent chunk of time, and even debated on whether or not to get the DLC. I am sort of glad I didn't, since for some reason I have just not been compelled to play the game for at least a few months. :/

Still haven't played it again, wtf is wrong with me...

No, unfortunately. Unless you have some friends who are at least masters or experts in other classes and are willing to give you stuff. I started out as a Cook and I figured out there were some fish I couldn't buy and I had to switch to an Angler. Then I switched to Blacksmith and realized I needed some fir beams for a craft, and I switched to Carpenter (which was really boring). However, I would start with classes where you collect materials first. c:

 

[Diamondarcadia]

I love the star challebges when you switch lives. Keeps the game interesting. My main job is a wizard and i love it because she owns but i gotta say... I like fishing too lol and cooking is so much fun

I dont see the need for a blacksmith really... Maybe not yet. It is necessary?
