Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Timeis chock-full of recipes. Dozens of them, hundreds of them - after all, there are seven distinct crafting classes to choose between, and ample reasons to play them all. Every Life has its own stuff, from Alchemist and Artist to Blacksmith and Tailor.

With so many recipes to craft, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. While our advice is generally to just go ahead and craft it all, saving up materials for a few specific recipes will reap you the greatest rewards. We’re still exploring Fantasy Life i in full, but here are our favourites thus far.

Legendary Recipes

We can’t not include these. Technically, we’re referencing quite a few here, but this won’t be the last time we do so in this list!Legendary recipesare all linked to what are, ostensibly at least,the best weapon or tool for every Life (class) in Fantasy Life i.

Their base forms, which are available for craftingas soon as you’ve located the recipe and gathered the required ingredients, are quite good. Getting those ingredients will often take until toward the end of the story, but that’s just because the results are so splendid.

Recipes For Quick Fixes

If you find something that’ll net you fast EXP, and isreasonably cheap to achieve, then stick with it for the long haul. Get the most out of it, and then move on to thenext “tier” of easy grinding recipes. Again, this is always going to shift as you grow in levels. Our advice, then, is tocraft everything once, whenever possible. Once you do this, keep track of the ease, and repeat as desired.
