Fantasy Life i Complete Strangelings Guide

There are a total of 50 Strangelings to find in Fantasy Life i. Well technically, there’s 49 of them, and one of them isn’t exactly a Strangeling because she doesn’t have a Strangeling form, but she serves the same purpose. Anyway, I’m including her in this list. Here’s everything you need to know about the Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.

How to Get All 50 Strangelings in Fantasy Life i

Listed below are all of the Strangelings and their Buddy forms in Fantasy Life i. I’ve included details on how to get each one. They can be obtained through story progression, completing optional quests, completing shrines, or through random drops from defeating crown enemies. If that sounds confusing, don’t fret. I’ll go into more detail on that later.

For now, here’s the list of all 50 Strangelings and Buddies in Fantasy Life i and how to get them:

Getting Strangelings from Random Drops

You’ll notice that several Strangelings in Fantasy Life i can only be obtained through random drops. Do note that you won’t get them just by randomly killing enemies. Instead, you need to look for monsters or resource nodes marked with a crown icon on your map.

When you find a crown enemy or node, defeat the enemy or gather from the node for a chance to get a Strangeling drop. This isn’t guaranteed though, so it may take quite a bit of time before you’re able to collect them all. Of course, if you have Yuelia’s affinity maxed out, you can increase your item drop rates, which will improve your chances.

How to Change Strangelings into Buddies

After getting a Strangeling, take them back to your base camp and interact with the Goddess Statue in the middle of the area. Select the Strangeling you want to revert into Buddy form, then offer up 100 Celestia’s Gifts to complete the process.

Do note that Celestia’s Gifts are time-gated, and will respawn daily on your island. After you’re done collecting them from the day, you’ll need to wait till the next day in real-time before you can farm them again. You can also increase the number of Celestia’s Gifts that spawn by expanding your island, building structures, and increasing your affinity with your existing Buddies.

Best Strangelings in Fantasy Life i

Which Strangelings you have in your party will largely depend on what your current focus is. That being said, there are a select few that very clearly stand above the rest, and I’ll go over each one below.

That being said, there’s one particular character you’ll want to have in your party pretty much all the time: Yuelia. Not only is she great in combat, her maxed out affinity skill also gives you a 10% boost to your item drop rate. This is invaluable for resource gathering, especially if you’re planning on maxing out all your Lives.

Best Combat Strangelings

Other solid combat choices include Sloane, who is also able to buff and heal your party at the same time, and Laura, who also comes with AoE attacks. They’re both excellent choices for combat-focused parties, though you’ll probably want to replace them with any of the four above as you unlock them.

Best Gathering Strangelings

Listed below are my picks for the best gathering-focused Strangelings in each Life:

Best Crafting Strangelings

Finally, it’s a little bit difficult to pick out the best Strangelings for crafting because they all specialize in different things. You can’t really go wrong with any of them because all of them give you three auto-actions while crafting. However, their specializations do change. For instance, Kunugi is great for weapon recipes, but Cormell gives you a bonus when crafting furniture.

Neither one of them is strictly better than the other; you just need to pick them based on what you’re crafting at any given point in time.

Hopefully this answers any questions you may have about the Strangelings in Fantasy Life i. Leave a comment below if you need clarification on anything, or if you think I’ve missed out on something.
