Life skills

Sword x Staff's non-combat life skills — the Guild Map's idle Planting, Breeding and Gathering facilities plus 67 Cooking recipes.

7 life activities
Tip
The short version

Sword x Staff's non-combat life skills all live in your Guild Map. 3 idle facilities (Garden, Sheepfold, Roost) and 3 resource nodes (Forge, Power Station, Mana Vein) run on an AFK timer — they churn out Basic Treats/Premium Treats (pet food for your Fantomons) plus the oil, wool and eggs that activate Fantomon Aptitudes, and guild resources for construction. Separately, Dish Cooking turns ingredients into 67 dishes that heal or buff your team. None of it requires combat.

Overview

How life skills work

There's no separate "life profession" class — your 18 combat classes are unrelated. Life skills are facility activities you run from the Guild (Legion) Map, all on idle timers, plus a personal Cooking pot.

  • Everything is AFK / idle.

    You place a seed, animal or tool, then the facility produces over a fixed timer while you're away — the game calls this an "AFK Session". Each facility has its own slot count and proficiency level.

  • 6 guild facilities feed your Fantomons.

    Planting, breeding and gathering all drop Basic Treats and Premium Treats (pet food) on every run, on top of their main material — so idle life skills double as a steady Fantomon-leveling pipeline.

  • Tools boost efficiency.

    Each activity has upgradeable implements (watering cans, brooms, pickaxes, forges) that raise its output rate. Higher facility tiers unlock longer, richer runs.

Idle facilities

Planting & breeding

The Garden, Sheepfold and Roost. Each grows a Fantomon Aptitude material — oil, wool or eggs — and pays out Treats alongside it. The tiers below are the three production levels per facility, verified against the game's own values.

Note
Sources & caveats

Activities, facilities, tiers and yields are verified against the game's own Guild Map life and gathering data; cooking comes from the game's own recipe and dish data. All names are the game's own EN strings. Depth caveats: the Guild life data exposes only 3 production tiers per facility and does not list exact gathering yields or rates (gather output scales with live facility level, not a fixed table). The 18 combatclasses are a separate system and are deliberately excluded here. There is no standalone fishing/logging/mining life-profession system — "mining" here is the guild's Mana Vein node, and the game's internal "Fishing" label actually maps to the Sheepfold. Dish and material icons are the game's own item art.
