One of the Lives in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is the Miner. The entire goal of this Life is to mine various gems and ores around the game’s world. Some of these are easy to find, while some might be a little more challenging to locate, especially for the boss-type ores/gems. This page will detail the locations of every single ore-type node in the game.
List of All Ores in Fantasy Life i¶
The following table will have a list of every single ore in the game, including an easily accessible location for each one. This will help those with the Miner Life complete all of the challenges. Note that the level of the ore itself doesn’t affect what it drops, so if you find a good spot with a bunch that are easily accessible, and can be respawned with relative ease, that’s great.
(1 of 2) Mining ore nodes will be something you do regularly throughout the game.

How to Enter Spirit Road¶
Spirit Road is a location found on Faraway Island, but the way to get into it is a little bit of a mystery. If you’ve fully completed Faraway Island, teleport to the Valley of Spirits fast travel spot, then enter Lulab Forest. In the bottom right corner of this area should be a spot with a boss-type fish. Head here and look for the well in that spot, which you can interact with to lead you straight to Spirit Road.
