This leveling guide is based on personal experience as a Paladin and DLC-unlocked contents but I think it is also applicable to the other combat lifes.
Level 1-40++
There is not many options about for lower levels. Normally, you can even finish the main story with one combat life around level 30++. I reached level 40+ when I completed the main story. I did take on a few lifes at the same time (paladin, miner, woodcutter, and blacksmith) and completed their quests up to master rank alongside with the main story.
Here is some tips on leveling during this period:
1. Ignore the side quest by NPC if you can. While some quests are easy, most of them requires crafting or gathering lifes to be completed. The reward is not that great and it is time-consuming.
2. Pick up a crafting class, woodcutter and miner. Definitely pick up a crafting life that compliments with your current combat life. For example, Paladin/Mercenary with Blacksmith or Hunter/Wizard with Carpenter. For woodcutter and miner, you would require to cut 500 trees and mine 500 ores to complete their side quests later. So, it is better to start early and mine/cut as you progress the story.
3. Bounties are most probably the best way to level and to farm so early dosh. Pick a spot where the bounty clerk is nearby to a bounty. Kill the bounty, turn in the bounty and exit the map to respawn the bounty. Remember to get your own horse (unlock with bliss) as horse can transfer bounties faster.
Most bounties and mobs regenerate upon exiting the map while some boss class bounties (napdragon and etc) require "sleeping" in inn or house to respawn. The following are some recommended spots. They are not restricted to levels but rather when you can get access to the maps or feel comfortable on those spots:
i) Mountain Snowpeak
This is one of the easiest spot to farm. Kill the black panther bounty which usually spawn nearby the bounty clerk. Turn in the bounty and enter the building to respawn the panther. Rinse and repeat.
ii) Tortuga Archipelago
Tortuga Archipelago has several bounties with a bounty clerk in the northeast of the map. The distance between bounties and maps are not that huge thus making this a great spot to farm as well. Reset map by entering the hut/nautilus cave.
iii) Aridian Desert
This desert is a bit hard for those who are undergeared. However, the map size is small and filled with bounties. The bandit, killer bee, and spooky are in close proximity with the bounty clerk on the south east of the map. Reset the map by going into ancient ruins which is just located east side of the map.
Level 40++ to 50 (Post Main Story)
After completed the main story, players are required to reach level 50 to unlock origin island (DLC only). The options are as follow:
1. Farm napdragon (probably the easiest)
-Napdragon offers great exp and dosh. Remember to get npc allies like Odin or King Erik (he is quite OP until some other allies are unlocked). Get a horse, kill napdragon in east grass plains, put the bounty somewhere safe and teleport back to your house in castele to sleep. Repeat until you have 3 bounties of napdragon and turn in the bounty at castele.
2. Work on life quest
-DLC unlocks creator rank. So why not work on those life ranks. The priority should be on combat life first as to prepare for origin island's tower trial. I manage to get to level 50+ just by gathering materials from trees and mining.
Level 50 onwards
Leveling towards level 200...it takes quite a while but I have seen people hitting level 200 in less that a week.
1. Get fanciful feet from exchange clerk with lunares gold coin. It costs 7 lunares gold coins and gives 2x exp. A very high priority item if you want to level up fast. (Will do a guide on coin farming later on)
2. Chose strong NPC allies. Pick up Ophelia (the queen is crazy strong), Mustang, Fern or Jinx when they are available.
3. Start off by farming bounties in origin island. Central plain is a good option as the bounty (those mana bounties) are nearby to a bounty clerk in northeast.
4. Around level 50+, attempt trial of time. Remember to upgrade your gears and bring in more pots. Trial of time is one of the best place to farm exp. The bounties (except for boss bounties) can be reset by going down/up a floor. There is a bounty clerk on the 4th floor. So just farm those bounties around 3rd or 5th floor and turn in your bounties on the 4th floor. Repeat until you get to around level 75.
5. Around level 75, the trial of darkness is unlocked. In my opinion, trial of darkness can be completed at level 75 but it is tedious and the mobs hit hard. I would gear myself up even more or continue farming trial of time until I can reach 80+ before attempting this tower.
6. Coin farming requires a lot preparation but the rewards are great. I gained most of my levels from level 100 onwards from here as I farmed more than 100 coins. Some of the gears from lunares coins are needed to gear for end-game. It requires creator rank's special request. It is recommended to do the special request by Tailor's Master as it is the easiest in my opinion. More on this when I have the time.
7. Trial of Light is the final tower in the game and to be honest, I am still sticking to trial of darkness.. More on this once I can finish this tower.
Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Fantasy Life Review
This is my first time writing a blog for a game. My reason for doing this is because this is a wonderful game yet there are not much hype for it. I have just clocked over 160 hours into it and in the final stages of the game. Hopefully I can commit time into writing my review and guides for this game. For starters, let's start with some introduction of the game.
Title: Fantasy Life
Platform: 3DS
Developer: Level 5
Genre: RPG
Release Date: Oct 2014 (US)
DLC: Origin Island
To start off, Fantasy Life is one of the best RPG I have played over the years. I am new at this and English is my second language. So bear with me..
1.0 Storyline
The story is about a hero/heroin on a quest to save Reveria (the world) from impending destruction. The story is quite straightforward and suitable for people of all ages. The content is mild and filled with humors. The dialogues are very well written and there are numerous funny conversations along the way.
The only downside is that there are 6 chapters only associated with the main story. The chapters themselves are considerable short so skipping contents/cutscenes/dialogues will only make it shorter. Mashing on the A button to skip dialogues and scenes are not advisable as the contents are quite good and funny. However, this is compensated with the various side contents of this game which can be a huge time sink.
2.0 Game Features
2.1 Lifes
Lifes are considered as jobs or professions that the players can take. There are 12 lifes in the game. It is mainly divided into Combat , Gathering and Crafting lifes. The game allows player to change into any lifes anytime throughout the game without penalty. For example, you would still be able to use wizard skills even though you suddenly decided to change into a miner later. The game is so flexible that you can even complete the game with a gathering or crafting life. However, it is advisable to take up a combat life and mixed in a few other lifes in it.
Combat Lifes
For combat lifes, they are divided into Paladin, Mercenary, Hunter and Wizard. Combat lifes focused purely on mob hunting. Each class has their skills and gears.
-Paladin uses a sword and shield which allows balance between offensive and defensive play style.
-Mercenary uses a two hand great sword which focuses purely on offensive skills.
-Hunter is a ranged class that uses bow. There are different arrows with different effects.
-Wizard is a ranged class that uses wands. There are 4 elements at disposal: fire, water, wind, earth
Gathering Lifes
Gathering lifes focuses on harvesting materials all over Reveria. The materials are located in specific locations of maps and the diversity is quite impressive. The available lifes are miner, woodcutter and angler.
-Miner focuses in mining ore and shards. These materials are used in crafting especially for blacksmith.
-Woodcutter focuses in felling trees. These materials are used in crafting especially for carpenter
-Angler focuses in fishing. Fishes can appear in pond, lakes, lava, sand and even cloud. These materials are used for cooking and some other crafting recipes.
Crafting Lifes
Crafting lifes focuses in processing raw materials obtained from gathering lifes, pick-upsand monster loot to craft gears, items, and even furniture.
-Blacksmith deals with ore and metal works. The equipments produced are mostly for paladin, mercenary, blacksmith, tailor, miner, and cook
-Carpenter deals with wood. The equipments produced are mostly for wizard, hunter, angler, woodcutter, and carpenter. Furniture are also produced by carpenter. They are used to decorate your house.
-Tailor deals with fabrics. The equipments produced can be worn by most of the class. Tailor can also produced decorations used for your house.
-Alchemist deals with herbs, monster loot and a combination of various materials. Alchemist is able to produce potions, equipment for alchemist and accessories.
-Cook deals with food and requires a lot fish from angler. The food prepared by Cook offers temporarily boost in status.
2.2 Status
The game has Str, Vit, Int, Focus, Dex, Luk. These stats have different effects on different jobs. Each parameter can go be assigned up to 100 max excluding equipment bonuses (DLC required). They can be reset anytime once the main story is completed. Max level with DLC unlocked is 200. Every level up will grant 2 stats point while every 10th level up will grant 3 stat points.
Str improves sword attacks, mining, and woodcutting.
Vit improves carpentry, blacksmithing and defense.
Int improves magic and alchemy.
Focus improves fishing and cooking
Dex improves bow skill, dagger skill and sewing
Luk improves rate of critical hits and rare drops (unconfirmed but seems like true to me).
2.3 Housing
Players are able to decorate their house with furniture, doormats, wallpaper and trophies. These houses are obtainable once the required fees are paid. Players can own more than 1 house and put pets inside it.
2.4 Allies
These game allows online gameplay. Up to 2 friends can visit your world and play together with you over the internet or local wifi. If you prefer solo, there are a lot NPCs that can be invited into your party.
3.0 Technical Features
Graphic
Graphics are cute and vibrant. Colorful yet pleasing to eyes. However, the 3d function is a bit poorly implemented..
Soundtrack
This game certainly has one of the best soundtracks among 3ds games. I can't really describe it but it is as good (or even better than) as pokemon soundtracks.
Controls
Controls are easy to use and understand. There are no complicated movements or combo's in game. They are quite user friendly.
4.0 Summary
This is a must get game for RPG lovers. I would definitely give this a 9/10. The last point went into the fact that we need to purchase the DLC which is quite pricy.
