Need help in completing the “Just Add Salt” quest in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time? This quick guide shows you exactly how to obtain Grilled Crucian without fishing and how to quickly gain rewards by assisting Tetch, a gourmet cat who fancies some grilled fish!
Getting Started with Personal Requests in Fantasy Life i
After helping out your Bone Dragon with a Dragonut, you will have unlocked a new game feature called personal requests. These are optional mini-missions assigned to you by various NPCs in town. They will have speech bubbles floating above their heads, so keep your eyes peeled.
Pro tip: Some of the requests are tied to your Life rank—so the more Lives you try out and earn Licenses for, the more quests you’ll unlock.
Quest Highlight: “Just Add Salt”
Your first external errands come from a talking cat named Tetch, hanging around just outside the Angler’s Guild. When you speak to them, they’ll ask you for three Grilled Crucian. Now here’s a cat with a very fine palate.
How to Get the Crucians
Regardless of the location, you do not have to find and catch the Crucians yourself. What you do is:
1. Walk west from the pier
2. Climb up the stone staircase.
3. The Cook’s Guild & Restaurant will be up there beside the Armory.
4. Inside, talk to the clerk at the front desk.
5. Buy 3 Grilled Crucian—they are 100 Dosh each.
Turn-In and Get Rewarded
After acquiring the goods, return to Tetch and hand over the fish. You will receive a reward that consists of:
- 4x Beef – will serve you in future recipes.
- 600 Dosh – a nice little chunk of change.
Why This Quest Matters
“Just Add Salt” is more than a fetch quest. It is among the first instances in which Fantasy Life i uses charm and creativity. It tries to teach you that not every problem falls under crafting or grinding. Sometimes, you just have to know where to shop.
