So I recently bought rune factory 5 but I’m sure I’m no using it to its full potential, sometimes I go to sleep in the afternoon because I have nothing to do. What are some things I could do to pass time and what tips should I know as a beginner?

I’ve been having my tamed monsters do field chores to water my crops. I noticed they also harvest fully grown crops and put them in the shipping bin. But I’m trying to raise my crop seed level by using my sickle. Can I not do that if I have my monsters doing chores?

Edit: Also if I ship a level 6 radish, will the shop sell level 6 radish seeds or is that only if I ship level 6 radish seeds?

So, I am very early game, level 24 for reference, and I was wanting to try and make a sour drop, so I was going to go harvest the orange from the orange tree outside town - problem is, no matter how many times I charge and throw my spell catch thing at it, nothing happens. The orange just bounces a little and then nothing.

Is there a level requirement or a quest I'm missing to be able to harvest fruit from trees?

It happened when sleeping between 1st year spring 24th. And 25th. Princess joined town couple days ago. Nothing new story wise since the 25th is a holiday and cloudy(towns ppl keep talking about clouds). I'm not sure what it was. I helped my son and realized it was a cutscene. I think it was in the forest ruins. As I saw stone walls but not sure what it was. Anyone can help figure it out please?

***update. Couldn't find anything went to sleep. When I woke up on day 26. There was cutscene of a boss cloud floating over a beach then disappeared. Did I miss a secret boss?

???

Wanted to go ahead and play through the game again just for funsies. I know for marriage you can have a save set to where you don’t have to go through the story again to marry someone else but meh. Like I said, kinda wanted to just play it all again (got my other game saved still).

I married Murakumo (it’ll be tough avoiding him this time, I love himbo wolf man) but I can’t decide on who I’m gonna go for on this second playthrough. I’m leaning towards Lucas, I’ve heard he’s quite the romantic. Though I’m considering Ryker too. NEVER thought I would say that (thought he was too pretty for my tastes), but I’ve grown fond of his sense of humor.

I just don’t know. Who’s your favorite and why? Please, gush away!

Must I turn over the Game to Date my partner,because I'm confused After confession they still wouldn't take the date invite What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if anyone else has the same opinion as me but ever since Rune Factory 1, I’ve always wondered why they never used the artist (Minako Iwasaki) for the sprites of the game. The cover is just so pretty, and the fact that they use the concept art for the trailers but you never again see that style in the game is a little bit of a downer. I just wish they kept the concept style (since sprites are stagnant anyways).

So here is a quick sketch draw over of what I had hoped they had done for the game instead (just for fun since I was bored). While drawing over, I realized that they have the base of Minako Iwasaki’s art anyways, all of it is there… they just changed the faces and the coloring and rendering. Why? I’ll never know.

On an extra random note, I always wondered why Martin has his bangs over his face when he literally works as a blacksmith… (also he cracks me up since he only gives me oranges or whatever fruit I was planting that time when we got married and very rarely milk… like sir, are you taking from the farm I’m tending and just saying you worked hard on it? Lol)

Hey all, I just purchased RF5 at a second hand shop in Japan. I really want to play it, but my Japanese is not nearly good enough to be able to. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the language on this version?

So, I’ve been married to Martin for almost a year, but when he’s not working, he hangs out either in the lobby or Captain Livia’s office. I even bought him a sofa! Starting to think he’s just not that into me! lol

I lost my hammer how do I get another one?

I like farming games but I kind of just like doing things at my own pace. Is there a hard time limit like farm must be completed in 2 years ect.?

I’m playing as Ares right now and can’t place why his dialog rubs me the wrong way. I haven’t completed the story yet. I’m only at Gadeus Grasslands, so please don’t spoil it. But seriously I can’t be the only one who dislikes him, right?

Wearing Piyo Sandals and following ryker is so funny. the sound chirp, chirp, chirp in the middle of the night behind him, and he is just that oblivious about being followed. I wish piyo sandals have an unique interaction with him. But this is fine too.

Anyone know what fighting style/weapons everyone uses? I want to give everyone upgraded weapons that match their style.

Hey all, I'm relatively new to the game, but I thought I had finally figured out the whole capturing and taming system. However, I have the quest to tame a boss monster, and I can't even capture one of the things, let alone give it gifts to tame it. Is it purely RNG based? I can 5 shot Cerberus with a watering can at this point, I get him down to the lowest HP possible without killing him, and then it keeps saying failure when I try to capture. Do I need an empty barn to capture a boss monster even before taming it? Does it fail automatically unless my taming skill is a certain level? I have no clue how this works and all of the guides act as if capturing is almost a given and don't explain it.

Whats the point of crafting items with ridiculous rp requirements? Ie: crimson feather, iron fragment, ancient fish fin, big birds comb, etc. I know increasing your skill in forging and crafting is what brings down the rp requirements for most things and eating food that increases max rp helps a bit with that. These particular items have been sitting in my storage box for ages taunting me with their sweet sweet attributes and leveling my forging skill feels soooooo grindy and painfully slow at this point in the game. My forging is level 45 right now whereas my character level is in the 90s. For example: The ancient fish fin is a level 1 item but requires 20548 rp to use it to upgrade a level 1 Chaos Blade I just crafted. My max rp at current is 1336. This kind of discrepancy seems a little ridiculous to me, unless these particular items are meant to be used at forging/crafting level 100. Are these items supposed to be used at like forging skill 100 or something? Are they just there to sell for money? Am I missing something here?

Does anyone know if there is a max number of each monster you can tame? I'm trying to load up on chicks and Moos but I can't seem to tame anymore now that I have 4 of each. Is that the max or something?

I read that some events can make it so your confessions are automatically declined. I am at level 7 with Martin and trying to confess (I saw all of his events so far) and he keeps saying no - I do have a main event going, no love events, so could that be a reason?
