Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a fun, open-world RPG where you can mine, craft, and explore. Amazing Gold Deposits are rare mining spots that drop valuable materials like Emeralds, Sandstone, and Swolean Gold, which are needed for crafting high-level items or completing Miner Life quests, like the Expert quest “Another Great Gold Jackpot.” This guide explains where to find these deposits in clear, simple language, perfect for all players.
What Are Amazing Gold Deposits?
Amazing Gold Deposits are special rocks you can mine as a Miner, one of the game’s 14 Lives (jobs). They’re tough to find and require the Miner Life, which you unlock at the Guild Office in Eternia Village by talking to Auntie Anne.
These deposits drop rare items, and hitting their “Sweet Spot” (a weak point marked by a purple “Sweet” bubble) with a pickaxe can give you an EXCELLENT rating, boosting your chances of getting better loot like Emeralds.
Where to Find Amazing Gold Deposits
The best place to find Amazing Gold Deposits is The Depths B2, a late-game area in Ginormosia. Here’s how to get there:
- Unlock the Miner Life: Go to the Guild Office in Eternia Village and switch to the Miner Life. You’ll need a pickaxe, which you get when you start this Life.
- Progress the Main Story: You must complete the main story up to Chapter 5 to unlock The Depths, a deep underground area in Ginormosia. This requires finishing earlier chapters, including Chapter 4’s trip to Faraway Island.
- Reach The Depths B2: From the Capital of Mysteria, head to the Hole in the Earth (marked on your map after Chapter 5). Enter The Depths and go to the B2 level. You’ll find several Amazing Gold Deposits here, more than in other areas like South Greatgut Plains or Moltana Wastes, where they’re rare.
- Mine the Deposits: Switch to your Miner Life, equip your pickaxe, and hit the golden rocks. Rotate around the deposit and tap it lightly to find the Sweet Spot (look for a purple “Sweet” bubble). Use charged swings or your Special Skill to hit the Sweet Spot for an EXCELLENT rating, which increases rare drops like Emeralds.
Note: The Depths is sealed by purple magic until you beat the main story and get the Dark Fire item. You can’t access it before Chapter 5.

Other Locations
Amazing Gold Deposits can also appear in small numbers in:
- South Greatgut Plains: Level 4+ area in Ginormosia, but deposits are scarce.
- Moltana Wastes: Middle-north part of Ginormosia, also Level 4+, with few deposits.
- Swolean Island – Cave of Trials: A good spot with some Amazing Gold Deposits, but fewer than The Depths B2.
The Depths B2 is the most reliable place, as it has multiple deposits that respawn regularly.
Easy Tips
- Unlock Sweet Spot Search: Spend 5 skill points in the Miner skill tree to unlock the Sweet Spot Search skill. This makes finding the weak point easier, saving energy and boosting EXCELLENT drops.
- Use a Strong Pickaxe: Craft or buy a better pickaxe (like the Gold Pickaxe) at the Blacksmith or shops in the Capital of Mysteria. Higher-quality tools deal more damage.
- Bring a Miner Buddy: In Chapter 3, you unlock Buddies (NPC helpers). Bring a Miner Buddy to The Depths B2 to mine faster and gather more materials.
- Eat Boosting Food: Buy Honey Flan from the restaurant vendor in the Capital of Mysteria. It boosts gathering for your next three mining attempts, increasing EXCELLENT drop chances.
- Check Vendors: If you can’t mine enough, the Traveling Merchant Don in Ginormosia sometimes sells Swolean Gold or Emeralds, but his stock is random. Check shops like the Piccas Resort Material Shop for Quality Minty Ore or other materials.
Final Thoughts
To find Amazing Gold Deposits in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, head to The Depths B2 after completing the main story up to Chapter 5. This area has the most deposits, perfect for the “Another Great Gold Jackpot” quest or crafting rare items.
Use the Sweet Spot Search skill, a strong pickaxe, and a Miner Buddy to get EXCELLENT drops like Emeralds or Swolean Gold. If you’re stuck, explore South Greatgut Plains or Swolean Island’s Cave of Trials, or check vendors for materials.
