RF5 - Starfall Weather and Seeds

This is a guide on the Starfall (Star Shower) weather in Rune Factory 5 and the Starfall Seeds you can get from it. Learn about how to farm Starfall Seeds and how to use Starfall Crops, all Meteor Locations, and what all you should do during Starfall weather.

List of Contents

How to Get Starfall Weather and Effects

Occurs on Random Days

Starfall - Star Shower Weather Icon

Starfall Weather will occur rarely on random days, and is indicated by the icon of a shooting star in the Weather icon next to the current time of day.

If you're hunting for Starfall Weather, it's possible to skip days by sleeping repeatedly until the weather occurs, but keep in mind that skipping lots of time can affect other aspects of gameplay like your Crops and relationships with the villagers.

Causes Meteors Containing Starfall Seeds to Appear

Starfall - Meteor

On the day after the Starfall Weather occurs, you can find Meteors in set locations around the map. They can be broken with a hammer for a chance of obtaining Starfall Seeds.

The chance of getting Starfall Seeds improves with the quality of your Hammer, so use the best Hammer you own when mining them.

List of All Hammer Farm Tools

Causes the Killer Griffin to Appear

Starfall - Getting Mealy Apple

The Killer Griffin is a rare enemy which only appears during Starfall Weather in the Phoros Woodlands. Using the Spell Seal on the Killer Griffin can sometimes yield the Mealy Apple item, which can be used to upgrade armor once you a high Crafting level.

The Spell Seal can only yield one item per enemy when on the same map. However, you can respawn by walking away until you cannot see it. Then, walk back and try again with the Spell Seal.

These items will be highly useful in the long run so it's a good idea to farm these when you have the opportunity.

Killer Griffin Location

RF5 Starfall - Killer Griffin Map

How to Farm Starfall Seeds and Meteor Locations

One Meteor Appears Per Map Area

Phoros Woodlands
Kelve Volcanic Region
Lake Yumina
Phoros Woodlands Meteorite Map
Kelve Volcanic Region Meteorite Map
Lake Yumina Meteorite Map

In each of the areas shown in the maps above, one Meteor appears per area. The location it appears in within each map will be randomly chosen from those shown, but be sure to find and obtain each of them.

Can Be Farmed by Saving and Reloading

Starfall - Starfall Crops

How to Farm Starfall Seeds
  1. Find the Meteor
  2. Break the Meteor and collect the materials.
  3. Go to the closest save point and save the game.
  4. Reload your save.
  5. Go back to the Meteor, which should have respawned. Break it to collect the materials again.
  6. Repeat starting from step 3.

Saving and reloading the game will allow you to collect Starfall Seeds indefinitely. Since the produce from the Starfall Seeds are highly useful for recruiting Monsters, it's a good idea to stock up as many of these as possible.

How to Use Starfall Crops

Sell them in the Shipping Bin for Profit

Season Available Crop Profit
Spring Starfall Strawberry 16000G
Summer Starfall Corn 16000G
Autumn Starfall Pumpkin 16000G
Winter Starfall Potato 16000G

Starfall Crops can be sold for a high profit once grown. However, they require one 2x2 plot of land to grow, and can take over 10 days to fully grow, so this cannot be said to be one of the fastest money farming techniques in the game.

Quick and Easy Money Making Guide

Use to Tame Monsters

Monsters who Like Starfall Strawberries
Cerberus Nine-tailed Fox
Monsters who Like Starfall Corn
Mysterious Lizard Geyser Bear
Monsters who Like Starfall Pumpkins
Needle Beast -
Monsters who Like Starfall Potatoes
Dragon Golem -

Starfall Seeds can be used to tame certain Monsters. They're often liked by Boss Monsters, but since they will not work 100% of the time, it's a good idea to stock up on them to have enough ready in advance to tame Boss Monsters.

How To Tame Monsters

Throw into a Lake in Phoros Woodlands to Get Headdress Items

RF5 Starfall - Headdress Lake Map

A certain lake in Phoros Woodlands contains a fairy who will give you a specific item when you throw a Starfall Crop into the lake. The obtainable item depends on which Starfall Crop you use, and a total of four can be obtained in this way.

Exchangeable Items

Crop Exchangeable Item
Starfall Strawberry Spring Headdress
Starfall Corn Summer Headdress
Starfall Pumpkin Autumn Headdress
Starfall Potato Winter Headdress

You don't have to close the game. Just save and reload for the farm seed

Thanks for the guide!! You don't need to close the game after saving, just loading works too.
