Best Paladin Skills Fantasy Life i
Fantasy Life i: Best Paladin Skills

In Fantasy Life i, the Paladin is one of the Combat Lives players can pick. This list covers the best skills in this class.

Players who want to get better materials for equipment, upgrade their island, or purchase powerful consumables will need to earn Dosh, the in-game currency. Dosh can be used to help players progress through the game and is a prerequisite for completing certain quests. Players will pick up all kinds of items and might be tempted to trade them in for cash, but some things have rare spawn rates or can only be found once. Those playing Fantasy Life i, can use this guide to learn what they should not sell.

7 Ore Deposit Materials

Gems and Ores Mostly Found in Caves

Fantasy Life i Marine Ore
  • Gathering Life Drops

Ore Deposits contain Gems and Minerals that are gathered through the Miner Life. Players, alongside any Miner Buddies in their party, will bang away at Ore deposits to collect the valuable resources inside them. Ores and Gems are then used in Blacksmithing to make Swords, Tools, and Armor.

There are special weapons and gear that require very specific Ores, Gems, and Stones. Players will come across more common ones, such as Copper and Mysteria, but any Legendary and higher level Ore Deposits drop rare items. Additionally, players will have several Buddies, and keeping their equipment upgraded requires Ore Deposit resources.

6 Logs

Used for Rare Crafting Materials

Fantasy Life i Elder Starry Log
  • Gathering Life Drops

Logs are picked up from Trees. Trees can be cut down by taking the Woodcutter Life and then turned into Lumber as a Carpenter. Logs are needed to craft Staffs and Bows. Both weapons are for combat, for those who use ranged attacks, such as Magicians and Hunters.

Players will also need it to make Furniture, which can be placed around their Island. There are also Legendary Trees with special Logs needed for one-of-a-kind weapons. Since there are so many uses for Logs, players should hang on to them when they do pick them up.

5 Bugs

Nature Drops Found at Random

Fantasy Life i Champion Beetle
  • Random World Spawns

Bugs are rare spawns, and although they are labeled as a currency item, players are better off holding onto them when they do find them. Bugs are needed to complete several quests, and finding specific ones isn't easy, as their spawn rate is rather random.

Grasshoppers and Butterflies are a little more common, especially at night, but rarer Bugs like beetles are less likely to be picked up. Players also have no way to buy Bugs, so selling them isn't recommended.

4 Top Quality Items

5-Star and Notable Resources and Weapons

  • Combat, Gathering, and Crafting Life Drops

There are common varieties of all gathering resources, and players are pretty much safe to sell anything that is 3-Stars and lower. Excluding Legendary and boss drops, of course. However, 4-Star and higher are rarer, more complex to gather, and more powerful in the case of weapons.

Players will find items marked with a rainbow. These are one-time drops, so make sure to keep them.

Weapons and Tools are also rated, but instead of a star system, they are labeled as Ordinary, Fine, and Notable. Players should avoid selling any Notable items, especially if they have Buddies who need better equipment.

3 Special Veggies

Shrine, Boss, and Rare Harvestables

Fantasy Life i Gigaga Truffle
  • Farming Life Drops

Players can harvest Vegetables if they learn the Farmer Life. The Farmer Life is unlocked later in the game, and once players get to Ginormosia they are able to sell them at Evershops. However, there are special Vegetables that come from Boss Veggies that players can only get once.

4 to 5-star Vegetables are used in special recipes that have potent buffs, such as the Legendary Feast. While selling the Fan-favorite Veggies at Evershops is a great way to get currency, players should be careful not to sell rare Vegetables.

2 Dragon Resources

Horns, Bones, and More from Ancient Dragons

Fantasy Life i Dragon Sticker
  • Gathering and Combat Life Drops

Dragons are rare bosses that only appear in certain places. When players defeat them, they will get Dragon-related materials. However, beating them isn't easy, as these beasts put up a decent fight. Players should make sure they have at least one other Combat Buddy to assist them in the fight.

Players can also get Dragon materials from Ore Deposits and certain Trees. These drops are used in Armor, Weapons, and Tools. Players can use them to max out their characters' equipment across several Lives if they don't sell them.

1 Treasure Sacks

Rare and Valuable Crafting Materials

Fantasy Life i Treasure Sacks
  • Combat Life Drops

While it may be tempting to sell Treasure Sacks as they come, players can use them strategically to earn even more Dosh. Treasure Sacks, such as Copper, Silver, and Gold, are picked up by fighting and destroying Mimics and Pandora's Boxes. Players will find them all over Ginormosia, and some of them even drop Strangelings.

Treasure Sacks are used in a Painter Recipe called the Pile of Pirate Treasure. Players can pick up this recipe from the beach Material Shop on Tropica Isles. They'll need a Sack of Gold, Sack of Silver, and Sack of Treasure to craft the recipe, which can be sold for more than 35,000 Dosh a piece.
