Beginner's Guide to Rune Factory 5
Exploring the map is essential for advancing the story. Treasure Chests that can be found may also contain valuable equipment such as strong weapons or runes. The more you explore, the easier your adventure might be.
If you feel that enemies are getting out of hand, your character's level might be falling behind. Going back to earlier areas to earn EXP by defeating lower-levelled opponents can help you level up and have a better chance in combat.
You can also consider adjusting difficulty settings by speaking with Eliza in town.
The bulletin board by your home will be a place where you can receive requests from the different residents of Rigbarth. Completing these quests allows you to earn items and tools that will come in handy as you progress the story. Eventually, it will also allow you to increase the number of shops and facilities available in town.
At the start of every in-game day, spend time to clean up your farmland and tend to your crops. This allows for a steady and consistent source of materials and food which can become useful for crafting and earning money. Consistent cultivation also lets you increase your level and grant you EXP across different skills.
If you have the money for it, try to buy Recipe Bread from the bakery and restaurants in town. This will let you unlock recipes for things you might need such as weapons, medicine, or tools.
Since the number of Recipe Breads you can purchase per day are limited, it would be best to buy some whenever you can.
If you don't see a red objective marker anywhere on your map which indicates your next destination to progress the story, you might need to call it a day and rest on your bed. This usually loads new events in the game, allowing you to advance the main quests and even individual character questlines!
