Mining is unlocked after players learn the Miner Life in FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Learn how to mine for ore in this guide, as well as how to unlock mining and how to find the sweet spot to get EXCELLENT drops here!

To start mining, look for an Ore Deposit that you wish to mine. Around Eternia Village, there is a Novice Miner's Pit filled with Copper Deposit to mine.

Switch to your Miner Life, and bring out your pickaxe and simply hit the rock you wish to mine.

Depending on the level of the ore deposit, it might take a few swings to completely deplete its HP. Once depleted, collect all the materials it drops.
Using Powerful Swings during mining will help you get an EXCELLENT drop after mining a deposit.
Similar to other Gathering Lives, getting an EXCELLENT drop will net you more materials after depleting the ore's HP but will drain your SP faster than using regular swings.

The Sweet Spot Search skill is the skill node directly above the center. This required only 5 skill points to unlock, and allows the players to search the Sweet Spot node in an ore deposit.
To make Sweet Spot searching easier, unlock this node first in your skill tree!

To find the Sweet Spot in an ore deposit, simply rotate around the ore. Tapping it once everytime will eventually find you a Sweet Spot.
This is indicated by a purple exclamation bubble with the word ''Sweet'' written inside. This indicates the ore's weak spot and where they take extra damage when striking.

When trying to find the Sweet Spot, using regular hits first to find the spot will help you conserve SP.
Due to Powerful Swings costing more SP, players would benefit more if they use regular swings first to scope out the spot.

Mining can be unlocked by joining the Miner Life. You can change lives at the Guild, so simply talk to Auntie Anne to switch to a new life.
