When I got my one typhoon so far it was late enough I could just wetland powder my important stuff (rare seeds) and then eat the losses on the rest

Saxophone posted:I’m playing RF4 and in Runa Prana. Woof. I’m using stuff that is current with what’s dropping from the things in there but I’m getting destroyed and my weapons aren’t up to snuff. I’m gonna guess this is where I need to start abusing the crafting system? I tried tossing failed dishes at a boss and it did nothing so I’m guessing that’s no longer a strategy. Add lots of status effect upgrades to your weapons. Even if an enemy takes one damage from your hits, poison etc will eventually kill them. Edit: How many character events are there per love interest in RF5 anyways? FrickenMoron fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Apr 5, 2022 |

Mokinokaro posted:Yeah Beatrice is pretty great in her character events. Replying to this post from a few pages ago because I think I ran into the same issue, although it's Beatrice's event whose markers have disappeared. Did progressing the main plot unlock the character events again like you suspected? Edit: After beating the next dungeon, the character event markers returned, and I got another nice reward besides.

I sprinkled gigantizer of four fully-grown onions and the next day when I came back the plot was just empty--not even plowed. Does that mean the soil didn't have enough health? or was something weirder going on?

Ideally you want to max out all your chems at once then rehoe in a few corn to bring it back up.

hm, I tried again the next day on a different section, which seemed to have good health even after chemming it (somewhere in the 60s), and it happened again could this be what happens when the gigantizing fails, rather than being due to soil health? in which case I just need to use more gigantizer on my third try

And now I discover it happened to one of my starfall crops??? like, it was fine in the morning, almost fully grown, then when I came back in the evening to do some mining/logging, it was gone when I look at the untilled soil, it has health in the 50s. Idgi.

Oh they are. Lol. Thanks for solving the mystery. My starfall pumpkins are safely in the shipping bin. I guess I'll try to do the giant vegetables and flowers for the quest in a field I don't have monsters working. e: not sure how I didn't notice the pumpkins were ready but whatever. I usually handle the harvest myself so I can till and plant right after, so I forgot monsters even could do that

I kinda liked it better when monsters had limited roles for what they can so on the farm. Like an elefun could only water crops.

in no game did I ever bother with farm assistants just because they were a method to kill time in the first place getting through the morning routine faster didn't seem helpful when I needed to wait a minute or two to do town things

I'm really salty that RF5 has a level 99 hoe but only a level 80 watering can that is 2x2 too small to do your entire starting field in one charge.

Does upgrading tools give them a wider effective radius?  I thought it just made them stronger when smacking things with them. Asking for RF4 specifically.

Silver Falcon posted:Does upgrading tools give them a wider effective radius? To add on to the above (higher tier tools = more charge levels = larger radius, so bronze = 1 charge for 2x2 where silver might be 2 charges up to 4x4 area, etc.), most tools don't really get stronger uncharged. A better hammer is incredibly important not because it does more damage, but because a higher tier hammer mines metal more effectively (a cheap hammer might only give scrap iron when mining a silver node, while a silver hammer will give mostly silver when mining a silver node, for instance). Better sickles increase the maximum level of seed that they can harvest (a silver sickle will only improve a seed up to level 6, for instance, so if you chop a level 5 crop you get a level 6 seed, but chop a level 7 crop and you still only get a level 7 seed). Rods I'm not sure about - the ability to catch fish is some combination of rod and fishing skill, but charging a rod attracts fish from a much larger radius. Watering Can/Hoe/Axe are really just about getting bigger AOEs in RF4. In RF5, better axes and hammers have a chance to give 2 material lumber or material stone per whack instead of 1, which is a nice perk. For me, I always upgrade tools in the order of Hammer > Sickle/Watering Can > everything else. The hammer lets you mine more ore to upgrade the rest, the sickle is great for upgrading crops better, the watering can aoe size is incredibly important, and the rest are more just quality of life upgrades that you should still do ASAP, but can wait a few days.

Should be noted that higher quality soil (Greenifier) can naturally level a crop as it's growing which can be combined with the sickle effect to skip one or more levels. Also can bypass the softcap of the sickle for seeds but at that point you might as well harvest the crop itself and ship. i.e. Even a basic starter sickle can harvest lv10 seeds if the crop itself is lv10 but it won't go from 9 to 10 without soil quality. Quality especially affects slow growing crops and can easily go up 5+ levels in a single cycle with x2.0 qual. Rynoto fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Apr 7, 2022 |

The framerate is rear end and the load times are too but I'm still having fun to continue playing. Just make sure the game is installed on the switch' internal storage, not SD card. Helps a tiny bit with load times.

If performance is a deal-breaker you'll never play this game, but on the other hand I can't imagine the mindset it takes to not play a game you think you'd enjoy because of some frames Its only really bad right when you leave your house the first time each morning. Tbh I tend to just mentally file that as the loading screen being secretly ten seconds longer but you get to walk around during those ten seconds.

The worst period I found was the level 60-75 range. The actual crafts all require annoying items and there's very few items that have an upgrade level in that range

For RF5 crafting grind (exploit) You can just take the highest level recipe you have, replace the ingredients (if you have any) with scrap metal, and then just fail. You still get XP for it so you do as big a batch as you can (IE, max out crafting amount to 50 or whatever) and you can keep reusing the same scrap metal over and over. Very easy grind, once it starts slowing down you go get some bread and get higher level recipes. Works with every crafting skill, though cooking is a bit annoying since it changes it to failed dishes that don't stack, but you can grind cooking by spamming crop stuff for profit anyway. Combine with the 25% growth bath and heart pendant for max gains and just go take a bath once you run out of HP and you can get them all extremely high in no time at all.

the biggest grind with postgame crafting seems to be not getting the skills leveled but getting recipe bread+s, tbh. Doing a full run of the postgame dungeon to get 1-2 of each one per day is pretty tedious. Is there another source?

You still get skill relatively quickly even at a high level. It's how I got enough skill to make my platinum tools. If you're playing handheld, the touchscreen works in menus. You can position your hand to tap out the upgrades really quickly.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Final two? Holy poo poo the drop rate on the penultimate must be insanely low. Never had the final one not drop one, but never got anything but ice cream from that jerk before it. https://www.neoseeker.com/rune-factory-5/Enemy_List#The_Fathomless_Dread lists the drop rate as 2% for Recipe Bread+. Honestly, drop rates for stuff suck. I was trying to get Electro Crystal (0.5%) from Aries, but as you can see the drop rate is abysmal and using seal on that boss is just not worth it. Better of killing it and reloading over and over again, because its seal window it terrible.

So I'm not wrong that they massively lowered all drop rates in this game because of the seal mechanic? That definitely was a terrible decision.

It lists some monsters that produce items as not producing items (mostly monsters that don't produce an item every day), and unless I have been absolutely and astoundingly lucky, I don't think their drop rates for recipe bread are correct at 2%. Drop rates are definitely low though, and I'm currently working on happy rings and other such things to try to compensate for that.
