Making Directives

Talk to Eliza to make directives.jpg
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

Save up SEED Points to unlock Festivals.jpg
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

Take License exams as early as possible
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.

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.
