You’ve saved the world, mastered a dozen Lives, and built your island paradise. You think you’ve seen everything Reveria has to offer. Then a letter marked with nothing but “???” appears in your mailbox—and a thick, unnatural fog gathers off the southern shore.
This isn’t the end of your journey.
It’s your most intriguing beginning yet.
“The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes” is a massive free major DLC update that completely reshapes the Fantasy Life i endgame. Rather than tacking on a few extra quests, this update introduces a brand-new progression system, a surprisingly deep economic Life, and a mysterious character whose motives are anything but simple.
This guide is your definitive roadmap through the Murky Mists. We’ll break down the Merchant Life, explain why Bazario’s Bingo is one of the smartest endgame systems LEVEL-5 has ever designed, and show how to reach the prestigious new Divinium Rank. Whether you’re a Creator-rank veteran or just rolled credits, here’s how to turn Bazario’s schemes into pure profit.
How to Access the Bazario DLC & Start the Story
Before you can strike your first deal, you’ll need to meet one requirement.
DLC Prerequisite
You must complete the main story of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Once the credits roll, check your mailbox in Castele or your home. You’ll receive a cryptic letter signed only with “???”.
Starting the Quest
Head to the southern pier of Origin Island. A previously inaccessible boat awaits. Board it to sail directly into the fog-covered region known as the Murky Mists.
Meeting the Sinister Broker
Your first encounter with Bazario immediately sets the tone. He’s neither hero nor villain—just a broker of opportunity. His offers are always fair… on the surface. Your first task is simple, but it quickly becomes clear that every deal is part of something much larger.
Mastering the New Merchant Life – The Art of the Deal
The Merchant Life is anything but passive. Once unlocked through Bazario, it fundamentally changes how you interact with the entire economy of Reveria.
Haggle – Your Ultimate Money-Making Skill
Haggle is the Merchant’s defining passive ability.
How It Works:
When buying or selling items from NPC vendors, you can attempt a Haggle. Success is influenced by:
-
Merchant Life Rank
-
Charm stat
A successful Haggle can:
-
Reduce purchase prices by up to 30%
-
Increase selling prices by up to 30%
Community Pro Tip:
The real money isn’t in tools—it’s in rare crafting materials. Buy high-value resources like Divine Ore or Alchemic Stones at a discount, craft premium gear, then sell it back at inflated prices for massive profit loops.
Your Market Stall – Build a Trading Empire
At Castele Square, Merchants can open their own Market Stall, turning item management into a surprisingly deep mini-game.
Pricing Strategy:
Community testing shows the sweet spot is typically 115–130% of base value. Any higher and NPCs walk away; any lower and you lose profit potential.
Best Items to Sell:
-
Early game: Cooked dishes, furniture, surplus tools
-
Endgame: High-tier accessories, rare weapons, custom-forged gear
Players who master stall rotation report generating more gold than any combat Life.
Merchant Combat – Money Talks
Yes, the Merchant fights—with a giant coin.
While it won’t top DPS charts, Merchant combat skills like Coin Toss Volley and Fortune’s Fury offer excellent crowd control. It’s more than capable of handling Murky Mists enemies while you farm resources for your next big sale.
Bazario’s Bingo – The Addictive Endgame Loop
