What is the Treasure Grove in Fantasy Life i?
The Treasure Grove will be a random dungeon you can go into. And, there are loads of levels or nodes in it that go off in different directions. You clear the Treasure Grove by completing objectives. You’ll be fighting enemies, finding resources, completing objectives and then at the end going to face a boss at the very bottom of the dungeon.
However, the catch is that you have to do all of this in a time limit of one hour. Complete a Treasure Grove, and you’ll get loads of good items, equipment, and Goddess fruits that you can take to Marco’s Shop and trade for special items or recipes.
Treasure Groves not only provide relatively difficult combat. They also offer many different gameplay associated with the various floor types: mining, woodcutting, farming, fishing, and, of course, combat. As players enter each era, the gameplay is increasingly difficult with higher-level enemies and rarer materials. It even goes from 100 years to a potential 900 years.
How to Unlock the Treasure Grove
To access Treasure Groves in Fantasy Life i, you must first obtain a Treasure Grove Sapling. You will do so at the end of Chapter 4 of the game, titled The Polturnip and the Leafe. By completing the game’s Chapter 4, you will obtain your first Treasure Grove Sapling. The Sapling is important as it allows you to access these random dungeon challenges.
You’ll have no access to Treasure Groves until you’ve completed Chapter 4. Even when playing with other players in the online co-op mode, you still won’t be able to access it. The sapling is planted at your Base Camp, which will usually be in an open space, usually at a clearing near the Guild or just in front of the Goddess Statue. Your sapling will grow and become a Treasure Grove dungeon that you can enter and explore.
How to Get More Treasure Grove Saplings
If you want more Treasure Grove Saplings in Fantasy Life i, you want to hone in on Ginormosia. If you want to obtain a sapling from defeating enemies, then your best bet is the Mimic. The Mimics tend to spawn near shrines, and most will try to flee away from you when they see you. Thus, you will have to be careful to catch up to them and defeat them.
You could also snag saplings from the traveling ones in Ginormosia, who randomly show up and will sell you saplings for Cashnuts. Also, with the update 1.2.1.2.1, the host gets a sapling after every grove run in Multiplayer.
Exploring and Farming Treasure Groves
If you want to go farming Treasure Groves, it’s a good idea to know more about the rare room types. Each of these rare rooms has its own perks and ways that you benefit from them when you are farming.
- Aging Altar: players can sacrifice tools and materials in exchange for awesome skills and materials
- Strangeling Room: has enhanced Strangelings that give bonuses to stats for companions in the room.
- Treasure Trove: a room filled with chests containing decent gold and materials that you use to create items.
- Monster House: tough area with dark element monsters that drop useful material, which you will need for endgame gear.
The layout of the grove/dungeon and where the resources will spawn is determined by the sapling planted. If you don’t like the dungeon type or layout, you can replant the sapling to create a new grove. But keep in mind that it takes one sapling for every time you want to reset the grove. The additional rewards you will receive from multiplayer are helpful, including Goddess Fruits that you can trade for mythical items. Moreover, you also get Treasure Grove Branches, which allow you to replay a selected dungeon layout.
