It prevents incoming typhoons so it doesn't have a lasting duration. If you were really unlucky and the restaurant NPCs warned you about another storm coming, you'd have to issue another order. Storms weren't very common in my game.

I might have hosed myself over a bit breaking the storage box the chance I got in RF4 (I wanted to see what would happen  ). When can I expect to get another? I've beaten the third boss and I'm around the end of Spring, for the record.

Well, I need to give some pineapple juice now and while I have the recipe I have nowhere near the RP needed to make it. I'm at 35 cooking, presently--I've got all the kitchen tools and, thanks to festivals, plenty of recipe bread. Before I just plunge in and cook stuff, though, are there any particularly worthwhile recipes to keep an eye out for grinding-wise?

The good grinding recipes are ones that are don't need too many ingredients, or ingredients that are easy to get. I use to make flan everyday, and even low level recipes like sweet potato are easy to make tons of almost every day, and give good experience with a heart pendant. You are hitting the point in terms of cooking where you will have to actively grow/search for ingredients if you want to make certain foods. I guess tomato juice is the best recipe for you right now though.

I just realized I left out an emphasis I meant to make--monetarilyworthwhile. Oops. And yeah, I was getting ready to convert my fields from wood/stone factories to flowerbeds for chemistry grinding mostly, but splitting a bit off for cooking grinding. And making my central field a vineyard, just 'cause.

The game treats it as a more difficult task, instead of treating it as making one item several times. This can actually be really useful for leveling in certain situations.

Alrighty! Made it up to low fifties before changing focus to avoid burnout. When I first read the item description for turnips (might have been seeds) I chuckled at the "for some reason." Little did I know the game was foreshadowing my hunt for turnip's miracle.

Anyone have tips for the growing a large flower quest? I've gotten it to work with some strawberries, but when I tried a few different flowers, the farthest I've ever seen them go is when they're visibly larger upon blooming. The day after, they just vanish entirely instead of merging. e: Probably should specify RF4, oops. Strange Quark fucked around with this message at 05:29 on May 20, 2014 |

Uh do you have animals working the fields? They autoharvest crops, so they're basically harvesting your flowers before they have the chance to merge.

Few more questions, now that I've hit my groove/gotten all-stopped by the golem boss in Rune Prana: - When leveling mining, am I better off mining the highest-end minerals I can find, or sticking to ones that actually yield their ore/gem type? Like, I can reliably get gold from its minerals, but dragonic stone nodes just give iron. - My trees went down in level after planting. Is preventing that just a matter of hoeing corn/clovers/grass on the grid appropriately? - Is there any downside to giving NPCs a weapon type aside from the kind they start with? Contemplating giving Meg a spear but I don't want to lose that nice total-cure + heal thing she does. I'm enjoying this game still, which is nice. The last RF game I played was the first and once I got to a certain point I remember just losing interest completely. Realizing I could hold down A to pick up like items instead of mashing it a lot made things looooooads more amenable, too.

Yeah, I'm embarrassed to admit how many Wools/Eggs/etc I lost to accidentally giving them to my animals when trying to pick up more before learning that.

Something like that. I would suggest mining in places like Leon Karnak to get platinum/orichalum for crafting recipes, but you can warp to each seasonal farming area and break rocks for stone as well. 2) Greenifier+ and keeping the health up, yeah. You can always use the sickle on some of the trees and ship/replant the higher level seeds if you grew several at once. 3) Not too sure. The NPCs can use any type of weapon just fine, but I think some of the special abilities may be disabled if they don't have their preferred types.

Gotcha, okay. The tree thing is really weird because I got them up to Lv10 and that's what's selling in the store, but after a week or two-ish from when the trees started yielding fruit I noticed the oranges were suddenly Lv9. I don't know when it actually decreased, just that it did.

IIRC, hurricanes also delevel your trees a bit. Unless I'm thinking of a different HM game and getting them mixed up.

Oh, maybe that's it, then. I mistakenly thought a town event would prohibit typhoons so I hadn't saved for a couple days and welp! I'm getting two or three of them a season, I wish I could get an invincible katori.

Typhoons aren't really a huge deal most of the time. They're kinda handy for extra lumber/stone for upgrades, and if you really need a patch to survive, dump some wettable powder on top and make sure the plant's hp is high, since they vanish when their hp falls to 0.

There's also a super special secret enemy that spawns during typhoons. There's a point where I feel like it'd almost be beneficial to summon a typhoon every day just to get his drop.

Yeah, I fought him on the last one that blew through--what's so special about his rare drop? I know I'll need one to make this one staff, and another for the shipping list, at least. Right now I mostly just want to get all my seeds to Lv10. I'm maybe 40% there? The emery flowers gon' be a li'l bitch. I did just get the best sickle, though, so that should help with these holdouts that refuse to go from 9 to 10.

Should I bother with resetting in order to trigger the third arc? Is there any reason I'd want it to happen sooner rather than later? I have a save just before going to bed on Spring 10 with Amber and Dylas in my party, and if both of them don't leave the following day, I reset. It's a pretty quick process, but still kind of boring.

I think you can get level 10 crops with even the 3rd tier sickle (or 4th) if you make sure the soil quality is insane. The typhoon rare drop gives -11 to elemental resistances while crafting, which sounds awful, but if you combine that with a 10-fold steel, and an Object X, which reverses the effects of an item, you can get more than 100% resistances.

It's a pretty quick process, but still kind of boring. You get to see a happy ending sooner, which is nice. There's nothing wrong with letting the game progress normally while you get your crafting levels up, but it took me about two years of ingame time when I did that because I am the luckiest.

Ah, so it's (semi)complicated craftimg stuff. I've gotten a handful up to 10, I'll toss some greenifier on the holdouts. Thanks! Out of curiosity, what weapon types are some of y'all using? I ended up going with fists and thought suplexing dragons would be the most fun I could have, but then I discovered throwing dragons into other dragons.

It's too bad that there aren't as many different upgrades compared to other weapons, but the level 99 one has a great design. Axes/hammers are a close second for me due to the crit and high damage. Too bad they can't beat going all Fist of the North Star on an enemy from 20 feet away. Fist Weapons Best Weapons

I really like using spears because you can use forged status effects to the best effect when combined with the high number of hits. I find their charged attacks the most useful of the physical weapons. Does anyone use long swords? They seem like inferior axes since they're basically slow weapons that don't do as much damage. Ditto for dual blades/fists comparisons.

Figure it's a long shot, but anybody hear anything about this free episodic Harvest Moon-like indie game called World Dawn's? I got linked to it a few days ago but I doubt I'll try it out for awhile.

I use them, but just because I like swords. I don't pay much attention to the mechanics, since my stats are generally high enough that I can stand there and swing like a moron with minimal dodging or potion use. I do need to up my skills in other weapons though, so I can work on learning the rest of the Blacksmithing recipes. Been trying to grind it up through mass production of Golden Hoes. Also, bloody hell, it's taking forever for me to marry Dolce. Been dating her since I beat the mansion, gone to just about every date location, and I'm pretty sure I've done the requisite events, it just won't happen.

The number one best way to grind up blacksmithing is to just make a lovely broad sword and reinforce it up to level ten with scrap metal or whatever. The same holds true for armor/accessories.
