Defeat Boss Monsters: 30 Points Each

You can fight Boss Monsters once a day and receive 30 SEED Points upon defeating them. Certain item drops are limited to Bosses, and the cost to ship them can be high, which makes defeating Boss Monsters an effective way to earn SEED Points, money, and items for crafting.

Defeat Regular Monsters: 2 Points Each (Limited to 100 Points a Day)

Normal Monsters found in the field can be defeated to gain 2 SEED Points, so make sure to actively explore the field and defeat the monsters that you see. Take note that you can only earn 100 points a day through this method.

Capture Wanted Monsters

If you talk to Livia you can take accept requests to capture Wanted Monsters, which will reward you with SEED Points upon each successful capture. The amount of points earned is based on the Capture Difficulty, as well as the remaining HP of the monster when it is caught. A monster that has more HP upon being captured, as well as a higher Capture Difficulty, will earn you more points.

★★	700
★★★	800

Talking to NPCs: 1 Point for Each Person

Talking to NPCs in Rigbarth will earn you 1 point for each person. While this may seem insignificant, talking to people also increases your Friendship Level with them as well, so it's a good idea add this to your list of daily activities.

Completing Requests: 100 Points for Each Completed Request

Completing requests posted on the Task Board will reward you with 100 SEED Points. This is incredibly high compared to other methods, so make sure to complete quests as often as you can.

Clear Direct Requests: 200 Points

Accepting direct requests from people will earn you 200 SEED Points. Keep your eyes peeled for these requests and accept them when they appear.

Ship Items

You can also get SEED Points by shipping items. The shipping price will determine the amount of SEED Points you receive, so be sure to constantly ship any items that you don't need. SEED Points received by shipping are rewarded to you on 8am of the following day.

Enter and Win Contests

You can use Directives to plan and participate in Contests, as well as earn SEED Points when you win them. There are many contests throughout the year that are easy to win, so make sure to participate in those contests when you can.

Doing Activities with NPCs: 3 Points Each Time

Activities such as forging, cooking, or fishing will earn you 3 SEED Points when you do them with an NPC. Although you can only do this once a day, in addition to skill points, you can also get unique items as well. Be sure to talk to everyone in the town, as you can only do these events with NPCs have a high Friendship Level with you.

Best Use for SEED Points in the Early Game

Making Directives Renovating Town Buildings

Making Directives

SEED Points are mainly used to make Directives by Speaking to Eliza. With Directives, you can plan festivals, earn licenses necessary for crafting items and improve the storage spaces of certain buildings.

Planning Festivals

The required SEED Points needed to plan a Festival is comparatively high compared to other Directives. However once the date for the Festival has been set, it will occur on the same date every year, so make sure to unlock each festival that happens throughout the year. It is recommended to unlock the dates for the Cooking Contest Festival (5th of Spring) and the Bean-Toss Festival(10th of Spring) during the early game.

Festival Calendar and Best Festivals to Host

Gain Crafting Licenses

Earning Crafting Licenses requires using SEED Points. Crafting items is a valuable skill, and the required SEED Points are relatively low, so be sure to get these licenses as early as possible.

Increase Storage Space

The storage capacity of your Backpack and Storage Box can also be increased with SEED Points. While many storage items exist, we recommend increasing the storage capacity of your storage box and backpack first.

Renovate Town Buildings

Renovating your room, the dragon farm, as well other buildings in Rigbarth requires materials and SEED Points. The required number of points varies depending on the renovation, so keep this in mind when saving up seed points.It is recommended to build the Monster Barn as soon as you can.

They are not only used for making Directives but also gaining licenses and improving the ease of various tasks, so be sure to earn as many as possible.
