Grand Blue Life Skills
Direct answerFour life skills are community-documented: Mining, Fishing, Farming and Cooking. They feed weapon upgrades, buffs and quest progress — and some races (Seafolk) boost them directly. Exact XP rates and recipes are community-reported; we mark them clearly.
The four skills
| Skill | What it does (community) | Why it matters | Evidence |
| Mining | Gather ore for upgrades | Weapon/equipment upgrade materials | Community |
| Fishing | Fish for materials/food | XP and cooking inputs; Seafolk bonus | Community (2 sources) |
| Farming | Grow crops | Cooking inputs and quest items | Community |
| Cooking | Cook food for buffs | Buffs and quest items | Community |
Why they matter
Community guides describe life skills supporting weapon upgrades, food buffs and quest blockers — several quests gate on life-skill output. Treat exact XP/recipe values as community reports that change between patches.
Race synergy
Seafolk is reported with fishing perks (fishing XP, double-fish chance, water kit) — a documented race × life-skill synergy. Other synergies are not consistently verified.
Decision context
If your goal is life skills, factor them into your stat and race choices — the Builds page covers the life-skill pivot and the Build Finder takes your goal into account.
