Gold Farming Guide and What to Sell

Add to Watchlist

Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma - Gold Farming Guide
Gold can be earned by completing missions, shipping crops, selling goods, and even raising bonds in Rune Factory: Guadians of Azuma (RFGoA). Read on to learn more about how to make money and what you can spend it on.

How to Make Money

How to Make Money





Deliver Crops in the Shipping Bin

Outside Shipping Shed

The most basic way to earn Gold is by placing harvested crops in the Shipping Bin. You can also sell other items that you find around the game, but crops are a steady source of income and are easily sold in bulks.

Selling price may vary per crop, so once you have money, try planting more expensive seeds.

You will receive profit from the shipping bin at the end of the day after you go to sleep.

How to Increase Crop and Seed Levels

Create More Fields to Sell More Crops

Placing down more fields will allow you to harvest a large amount of crop at a given time. You will need Red Soil and Black Soil to create more fields, which can be obtained by gathering, defeating early game bosses, or crafting with Woolby.

Village Building Guide

Plant Golden Seeds

Golden Seeds

Golden seeds produce golden crops, which have higher sell values than their regular counterparts. You can use the Sacred Sword to get multiple golden seeds on harvestable crops, which also have the chance to drop higher seed levels.

Golden Seed Locations

Sell to Shops

Selling to a Shop
You can also sell items directly to a shopkeeper if you do not want to wait until the end of the day to receive gold.

Raise Bond Levels to 3

Raise Bond Level

At Bond Level 3 or higher, characters will gift you expensive items on your birthday such as Rubies which can be sold at a high price, so try to raise your bonds before your birthday!

How to Increase Bond Level

Complete Tsubame's Requests

Tsubame Requests

If you complete Tsubame's requests, you will earn a Exotic Medal. Each Exotic Medal can be sold for 10,000 gold, so try to complete them when they come up.

Get Skilled Merchant Skill

Skilled Merchant Skill

The Skill Merchant skill, which is found in the Social Activilies skill tree under Practical Abilities, allows you to sell items for a higher price.

There are three Skilled Merchant nodes under this skill tree, so try to get these to maximize your profits when selling items.

Best Practical Abilities to Get

Evict Big Eater and Slacker Villagers

Evict Slacker and Big Eater Villagers
Slacker and Big Eater villagers can be evicted to improve the production of the village and reduce village costs.

Big Eater villagers cost more to feed everyday, and Slacker villagers produce low output, so you may benefit more from removing them and having them replaced with better quality villagers.

Best Items to Sell

High-Level Crops

High-Level Crops

As you develop your farm across all villages, you will get access to seeds that can produce crops with a higher level. Higher-level crops can be sold for more than low level ones, and it doesn't take much to fill a field with these as long as you have enough seeds to use.

These will be your main source of income once you sell these in bulk, so try to plant as many of these as possible.

How to Increase Crop and Seed Levels

Elemental Crystals

Mining Crystals

You may obtain elemental crystals while mining for ores around the map. These can sell for a high price, and it can be easy to obtain them as long as you keep mining from time to time.

Crystal Base Selling Price
Water Crystal Water Crystal 500
Wind Crystal Wind Crystal 500
Earth Crystal Earth Crystal 500
Fire Crystal Fire Crystal 500
Ice Crystal Ice Crystal 800

Fishes

Fishing

Fishing is also a reliable way to get gold as you can sell all of the fishes that you catch. You don't need to hoard as much fish to use for cooking as you'll have plenty of crops that you can use for other dishes.

Fishing is unlocked once you reach the Searching for the Winter God quest in the Winter Village.

Fishing Guide and How to Fish

What to Spend Money On

Food and Items

Tea House Shop
Money can be used to buy Food and other Items which can be used for farming or recipes. Different shops will have different items, so construct more shop buildings to explore what goods you can purchase.

Equipment

Blacksmith

After unlocking the Blacksmith, you will be able to forge new equipment and upgrade your current ones to a higher level. It will cost a lot of money and materials to accomplish these tasks, so you might need to save up in advance.

Building and Decorations

Carpenter Shop
Money can be spent at the Carpenter to purchase buildings and decorations to fill your designated land. Placing down buildings and decor can increase your Village Bonuses, which will in turn boost your stats.

Village Building Guide

Living Costs

Villager Costs
Villagers will have a daily cost, which automatically deducts from your shipping bin profits or your personal funds if there is not enough money in the shipping bin.

Village happiness can decrease if your villagers are not being paid, and they might leave the village, so manage them wisely!

Assign Jobs to Light Eater Villagers

Villager Profile

Every villager has a Quality which will affect their workflow. It is recommended to assign jobs to villagers with the Light Eater quality, since they are less expensive to feed.
