Fantasy Life General Thread

Well I had a break, came back, tried to equip again and this time went to the bench and I think the hammer only works once you are standing at the bench. I am supposed to be making a copper ingot, supposed being the operative word, there are 3 different stages you have to complete at three different benches in a time limit, and disappointing to say I have yet to manage to make one, it is not as easy as it sounds

It gets a lot easier later on, I've failed a lot. When you progress through the skill levels it gets a lot easier and when you get to be a better blacksmith in general you get some moves to help you out so don't worry, it won't always be like this.
 
I'm rubbish, I am struggling to remember where the different areas are, it is so huge! the map is pretty basic, does anyone know of a better one on line showing everything? I am loving it though.
 
I've said it before, but I'll say it again; the details in this game are amazing! I'm currently on Mt Snowpeak and it's beautiful (it's snowing <3)!

I'm up to Port Puerto :) I'm a bit confused about the link feature though, it seems like you can only play with people in your 3DS friend list, sort of like ACNL, should be more interesting once more places get the game :D

Port Puerto isn't accessible yet for me; I'm currently doing the second chapter. As for the Link feature; yeah, only the people in your 3DS Friends List so we'll all have to begin registering each other's codes! :)

I'm glad you managed to equip the hammer! I'm sure you'll get better at it soon; don't give up! :)

Yeah, I agree. If there's one thing (and it may be the only thing so far) I don't like about this game it's the map. The map on your bottom screen which shows the area you're in is awesome; you can go from point A to B without looking at your upper screen and without running into anything, since it shows where NPC's and monsters are.

The world map, however, isn't detailed enough. It gives you a general idea, but say that you want to go from Castele to the Elderwood, then you have no idea how to get there. I was wandering around and all of a sudden I found myself at the entrance to the Elderwood, at which point I went "Right, I am supposed to defeat a creature here".

Haven't found a detailed map on-line yet, unfortunately. :(

And because I'm curious; what level is everyone at at the moment? :)
 
Anyone want to play together I'm an adept paladin level 15 or so and I've gotten to the Port Puerto part of the story (think I spelled that right) I also can mine but decided to go back to Paladin to improve fighting skills.
 
Only a paltry level 6 close to level 7

I would be delighted if people would add my FC and let me know so I can make sure I add them in return

Out of curiousity is anyone gonna be getting the dlc for about ?7? I'm probably gonna get it once I complete the main story but I also read on Nintendo's website you have to get to level 50 - and that you can only play online with others who have the dlc.. It should be that if your with a person who doesn't have the dlc neither can access the content, the idea of the dlc is really annoying me.
 
Currently I'm level 19. Does anyone want to meet up?

I will probably get it when I complete the main story too
 
I am only a level 11 Adept Paladin; I feel like I'm nowhere compared to you guys. :( I think it's clear leveling up as a Paladin isn't the quickest way there is. :( And please excuse me while I try to stop laughing at having been challenged to defeat the Napdragon.

I wish the game was a bit clearer about the skills, though. As a Paladin I can do some kind of spinning attack that I have no idea what it's called. I can do some kind of Lightning attack and I've been told I can do the Luminaire attack now but I have NO idea how to do this one. I know you can't do the Lightning one if you have equipped a shield, but I can't figure out how to do the Luminaire one. :(

I might get it, but I have a feeling it's going to be a while before I reach level 50, so... Though not all the DLC is locked until you reach level 50; you can already have a bird or dragon as a pet and features such as the character customization are also already available.

I'd love to get on-line with someone, but we're going to have to figure out when would be a good time. It's almost 10 PM here so I'm going to bed; I have to work tomorrow morning. :( But if anyone else tries the multi-player, let us know how it goes!

Also, for those fighting "bigger" monsters and getting bounties; keep in mind that you can only have three bounties at the same time. You can leave a bounty somewhere and come back for it later, but if you have already three bounties and you get a fourth one, then the oldest one disappears.

And also; monsters will try to destroy your bounty so make sure you place it somewhere safe (or avoid fighting more than one monster at the same time because they tend to ignore you and go attack the bounty instead). I had two bounties today I wanted to come back for later and I put them behind a saving crystal; that seems to be the one area where no monsters appear and is thus "safe". There are several bounty clerks in the game, though, but it's a matter of remembering where they are. Which can be hard since the areas are so big...
 
I started it only since the my pre order only arrived 1hour before I had to get to work and yesterday half of my time was also spend sleeping or working.

Does anyone has a Magician?
 
I have been working as a blacksmith which has been useful as have now upgraded all my gear to bronze tools and leather armour, it all costs money naturally, so now need to go back to being a paladin to try to make some much needed dosh.

I love how we are all going to play the game differently
 
Can't wait to get into this it sounds so cool :). I'll have free time next week and I'll probably play a magican, feel free to add me just let me know and I'll add you back :).

I'd have given it a go already tbh, very tempted but I'm a bit under the weather to be playing.
 
I've only played TL's demo, but I don't think you need to worry about getting disappointed with this game. :) It's really how YOU want to play it and there's a LOT to see and do that you won't get bored anytime soon. You can really play at your own pace.

Sounds awesome. Reading all that you guys are writing is making me look forward to getting this game too. Can't wait!~ :)

Oh, if you guys wifi, can you please report back on the experience? I mean is it like ACNL where you just "hang out" or can you do battles, trading, and actual useful things together? I'm just curious, because for me it's much more fun to hang out if there's a goal to accomplish.

Quick tip! Find something easy to make that dosent take much to make and make loads then sell them for a profit. I used iron daggers

Thanks I will try that tip. I have briefly gone back to being a paladin and have noticed how much more proficient I am at fighting now I have upgraded all my gear, it definitely seems worthwhile being a blacksmith for a while early on in the game

I'm level 21 on magician! :)

And everybody needs to swap friend codes with me so we can all play together! ^^

Playing through it slowly, not into console gaming these days

I am also aiming on taking it slowly so I can enjoy the game and make it last as long as possible, but looking forward to giving up all my kinky leather gear and getting back into something metal to make me less vulnerable out on those grassy plains.
