In Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, players can access a wide selection of over 300 pieces of armor for both themselves and their companions. The game features nine distinct categories of armor. While you can find armor in Armories or Marco’s Shop, crafting your own gear is advisable for enhanced defense, magic resistance, and unique skills.
This guide will be regularly updated as you progress in the game and may contain late-game spoilers.
Comprehensive Armor Guide in Fantasy Life i
Locations to Acquire All Armor
As you embark on different Life paths, you’ll unlock corresponding armor sets. Reaching Adept rank in any Life grants you an additional set, and new rare-tier clothing becomes available upon attaining Master rank. Simultaneously, you’ll unlock recipes to craft Life-themed armor.
Armor is categorized into nine segments in Fantasy Life i, allowing for 8-9 equipment pieces per Life:
- Head
- Cape
- Body/Dress
- Hands
- Legs
- Feet
- Accessories
- Specs
- Shield
Head Gear
This category includes armor occupying the Head slot in your Equipment menu. While most items are hats or helms, some accessories like the White Cat Ears or hair ornaments can be found here.
You may gain armor drops by clearing debris at your Base Camp, which requires help from Strangelings that can be restored at the Goddess Statue.
