There's a lot of crafting that you can do in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, and one option is blacksmithing. As you might expect, blacksmithing requires a lot of ore and gems for its recipes, which means that it's helpful if you know where you can go to gather the materials. It's also cheaper to gather them yourself, but you could purchase some materials that aren't too rare from vendors if you need to.

While it sounds like it would be an item that you can collect and use for crafting in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, Hyper Healthy Honey is actually a quest item. It would be nice if this was a super HP-restoring item that you could hoard, but you actually have to give it away to complete a quest in Eternia Village.

For every life, you start out as a fledgling in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. This means that you'll end up returning to low-level areas repeatedly in order to complete your first quests, since they always start out in the area where you unlock that life. For the miner, one of your first quests has you collect a number of Aquamarines. Of course, you won't be able to find a deposit that's just labeled as Aquamarine.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time gives you a lot of exploration opportunities, but you’ll find that some areas are locked behind Purple Seals. Even worse, the way that those seals are lifted isn’t immediately clear when you start out in the game. As it turns out, you’ll have to put any ideas of removing the seals to the side for a while, since they’re locked behind completing other content first. Purple Seals are basically ways that the game keeps endgame content unavailable.
