How to Raise Friendship Level with Monsters
Wood and stone are used to set up monster huts and to expand facilities in Palmo Studio. We recommend collecting wood and stone daily to prevent running out of these essential materials.
After gathering wood and stone, you may store them in the wood or stone case that you can get by clearing the third request at the start of the game.
It is also important to take care of companion monsters every day. The better they are taken care of, the higher the level of by-products they produce.
| Monster | By-Product |
|---|---|
|
|
Honey |
|
|
Milk |
|
|
Egg |
These monsters give great materials for selling and cooking. Get them when you unlock the monster barn to get more money and cook better food!
Defeat the bosses in each area every day. The material dropped by these bosses can be used as crafting material or it can be sold at a high price at shops.
You can buy bread recipes when you purchase bread at bakeries and restaurants. Likewise, you can learn certain bread recipes by simply eating them. If you have the right ingredients, you will be able to make your own.
There is a limit to the number of bread recipes you can buy daily, so get them if you have money to spare.
List of All Food & Cooking Recipes
To raise your friendship level with villagers, consistently talk to them and give them their favorite food daily. You can also clear requests to help raise friendship level with residents. Attaining a high enough friendship level with villagers unlocks added perks that can make the game all the more fun and easier.
How to Raise Friendship Level with Villagers
Taking a bath daily improves your bathing skills while increasing your character's maximum HP, RP, and physical strength. We recommend you take a bath every day, especially after doing your morning farming tasks.
Eating food at least once a day, whether it is your own cooking or from a restaurant, increases your Eating Skill. This will increase your maximum RP and other related stats.
Sleeping before 6:00 PM recovers your HP and RP. It will also increase your Sleeping Skill which raises your maximum RP and other related stats.
