Basic guide to achieving 12000 Life Skills - It's important to level up your crafting station to level 3: Life Skills will naturally increase as you gather materials. - Upgrade to blue tools in the tool tab: Significantly increases Life Skills compared to beginner white items (about 200 difference per item, potentially increasing by 1600 if you replace all of them). - Bags also have Life Skills attached.

Bag upgrade tips - Equipping a blue bag increases Life Skills by 175, while an Epic grade increases it by 350. - Free-to-play users cannot currently obtain bags. - Paying users can acquire 3 purple bags by purchasing the Arcana Package in the Cash Shop (expected to increase Life Skills by about 1000 when equipping all 3). - Epic bags can be purchased with package points.

How to use Life Skills - Utilize gathering and crafting skills: Gathering wood, ore, and wool, as well as blacksmithing, carpentry, magic crafting, and armor crafting. - Basic materials: Iron ingots, lumber, fabric, leather (leather can only be obtained from hunting grounds, so conserve it as much as possible). - Lumber: Craft 10 stag beetles and then chop trees; increased efficiency when gathering in Dunbarton.

Ore and wool gathering tips - Iron ingots: Find iron ore veins after mining ore; craft a campfire kit and then mine ore by collecting pebbles (both iron ore and regular ore can be used to make iron ingots). - Wool: Complete the Golden Fleece quest to obtain golden fleece; golden fleece gathering has a low chance of unlimited farming.

Material processing and leather conservation - Process gathered materials at processing facilities (30 seconds with membership, 1 minute without). - Some leather can be purchased from the shop, but it's mainly obtained as a reward from hunting grounds. - Conserve leather as much as possible. - Continuously craft wool into fabric.

Skill leveling through armor crafting - Heavy armor: Pants that can be crafted with iron ingots and fabric (good experience efficiency). - Light armor: Leather is the main material; craft pants with leather and fabric (good experience efficiency). - Cloth armor: Craft shoes with fabric and iron ingots (best experience efficiency relative to materials).

Skill leveling through weapon crafting - Blacksmithing: Warriors can craft short swords or great swords with iron ingots and lumber; exclude rogues as they require leather. - Carpentry: Archers can craft light crossbows with lumber and iron ingots; bards can craft fans or sensor weapons. - Magic Crafting: Mages and healers can craft snow brooms with lumber and iron ingots; healers can craft crystal staves or Kaze weapons. - Iron ingots are needed for both weapons and armor, so prioritize gathering them. - You can level up Gathering Materials, Chopping Trees, Mining Ore, Shearing Wool, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Magic, and Armor Crafting skills to level 17 by repeatedly crafting level 1 equipment.

Other gathering skill usage tips - Daily Gathering: Spiderwebs (craft white flower butterflies and gather them in the graveyard; low chance of obtaining white flower butterflies, takes 3 hours), unlimited gathering possible when obtaining golden spiderwebs. - Herb Gathering, Potion Making: Naturally increases as you progress through the game; craft bandages with wool in the early stages, gather four-leaf clovers and then make and sell potions. - Harvesting: Repeat wheat harvesting (recommended only up to level 15).

Tilling, insect gathering, fishing, and cooking usage tips - Tilling: Collect pebbles on the beach and then dig for clams. - Insect Gathering: Craft coin ladybugs and then gather them (very low chance of obtaining, takes a long time). - Fishing: Deep-sea fishing (efficiency decreases after level 15). - Cooking: Infinitely craft boiled eggs (collect eggs and water bottles); you can collect eggs from roosters in Dunbarton without being attacked; if you don't have golden eggs, make apple soufflé.

Handicraft and part-time job usage tips - Handicraft: Naturally increases when leveling up the crafting station; can be further leveled up by crafting campfires, etc. - Part-time jobs: Create multiple characters and do part-time jobs to earn part-time job points and related skill experience. - Complete as many given part-time jobs as possible and then proceed with other grinding.

Summary of how to increase Life Skills - You can achieve 12000 Life Skills.
