Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma - How to Get More Villagers
You can get more villagers by leveling up your village in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (RFGoA). Read on for more information on how to get more villagers, how to increase your maximum population, and how to reduce your number of villagers.

How to Get More Villagers

How to Get More Villagers


Level Up to Increase Max Population

Increase Village Level

In order to increase the amount of villagers your village can have, you need to level up your village. Each village will have a different maximum number of villagers, with the bachelors, bachelorettes, and non-romanceable unique villagers being exempt from this count.

The more you level up your village, the more villagers can move in to help you out with jobs.

Village Level Effects and How to Increase

Rescue Blighted Villagers

Blighted Villager Turned into a Monster
When exploring outside villages, you may encounter monsters with glowing orbs in their midsections. These are Blighted villagers.

Defeating them will reveal that they were villagers transformed into monsters, and they will be added to an available village as a villager that you can assign jobs to.

Go to Sleep with Available Villager Space

If you haven't reached your maximum villager limits by the end of the day, you will automatically get up to three villagers for each available village when you go to sleep.

Don't forget to assign these villagers to the job you want them to do when you wake up in the morning! The default job for all new villagers is Farming, but that may not be what they're best at or what you need.

Villager Qualities and How to Assign Jobs

How to Reduce Villagers

Evict Villagers

You can evict any villager that isn't pulling their weight through the Villager menu. Removing villagers can help you optimize your village productivity. It may also be an ideal way to make your villages more manageable if you're struggling to earn money and keep happiness up.

The best villagers to get rid of are those with the Big Eater, Slacker, and Timid qualities. However, if they can significantly contribute to your village despite these negative qualities, you may still want to keep them.

Take note that as long as your villages still have space, you will always get more villagers every day. You have to evict them constantly if you want to keep your villager population low.

Low Village Happiness

If your village happiness gets too low, villagers may start to leave on their own. You can count on those with the Hometown Proud quality to stay, but everyone else will be at risk of leaving.

Having less villagers will lower your expenses and total population, which may somewhat help your villager happiness, but you will also earn less income, obtain less resources, and possibly get a bigger workload if you have to do everything yourself.
