Thanks. I'm heading for the library and then focusing in the paladin. I'll wait with the other lives until I open up the new areas.
I've added you three to my friend list on the 3ds for some Link mode.
Will add you too.
Second Expert Rank Life achieved! Paladin is by far the quickest & easiest to rank up I think... I didn't even realise I had reached Expert already.
And the obligatory status screen shot of my character now. I refuse to use helmets since they make my character look silly :x Before I was rocking the Duelling outfit but then I noticed this Savage Armour almost doubles my Attack and Defence.
Current Life statuses:
Paladin - Expert
Miner - Expert
Hunter - Adept
Blacksmith - Adept
Tailor - Adept
Angler - Adept
Woodcutter - Adept
Craftsman - Apprentice
I've pretty much ignored Merc, Magician, Cook and Alchemist... I guess I'll get to them eventually but my INT is pitiful... I don't think I've boosted it even once.
Leveling up mining went pretty quick too now it seems. Already an adept. Guess I'm gonna go with woodcutter now.
And even though I'm still enjoying all of it. I feel like it might get a bit tedious to clear out every area 12 times for all your different lives. On the other hand it would have been too easy if you could have done quests for the miner whilst being the angler I guess. I'll see how it goes.
Just saw this a few pages back, but you can do challenges even when in another Life as long as the challenge doesn't say specifically to be in that Life. Most of the generic Miner challenges can be done when in any Life, but some that require you to hand in Bounties need you to be a Miner. The Paladin stuff all seems to have to be done when in that Life too. It depends, but I think probably the majority of the Miner and Woodcutter challenges I do are when I'm in another Life.
