![]() From there, you can play as normal up until that day, save before the daily reset, and soft-reset the game until the Town Event you want spawns. ![]() Keep going to sleep until one of the characters declares that they must leave your party (may need to retry if you go over two weeks, as you may have overshot the starting date) - on that day, an Event is guaranteed to spawn. First, get two characters in your party who have a high enough affinity with you that they remain in the party overnight, then save before the daily 6am reset, and go to sleep. However, there is a way to dramatically increase the odds of getting the Event you want. It is annoying for some, not only because those participants in the event will be unavailable to do other activities, but also because these Events can be required to progress with certain characters and in one notable instance the main story, and it's wholly at random which Event is picked from the frankly massive pool that is supposed to last upwards of five years. One of the much-reviled features of Rune Factory 4 is its Town Events system, where Events will randomly occur in the town on particular days and will need to be completed before new Events will trigger. In short, make your field work for you, even if it's just Turnips. It's also a curse in that they will also harvest these crops automatically and ship them for cash, so you'll need to make sure to harvest your crops before they do, or else all those Runes and Runeys will be lost. It's a blessing in that Monsters with a high enough affinity with you will be able to buy and plant seeds for you automatically (albeit at random) if you instruct them to do so, so all you need to do is till the whole field and let them work. One of the reasons I mention this is because later in the game, you can get Tame Monsters to do a lot of the farm work for you, which can be both a blessing and a curse. It's not a huge amount, but it's a nice touch. ![]() ![]() You can learn water magic by watering plants, earth magic by tilling the soil, and fire magic by cooking. You get a small amount of experience in each elemental magic skill from doing any task that's relevant to that element. This isn't just from Runes and Runeys, by the way. Both Runes and Runeys will also restore your RP, which is helpful if you've just been doing your daily farming.ĮDIT: u/Galle_ informed me of something I was never aware of: While this might not seem like much at the time, it really adds up - for example, my Earth Magic skill went from 15 to 90 in my first play through despite my never actually using Earth Magic. Runes are glowing white balls that will increase one of your Skill Levels at random, while Runeys will buff one of your base stats by a small amount, permanently. Every time you harvest a crop, even from fodder or re-growing plants, you have a chance to spawn a Rune or Runey. Less obvious, I think, are the benefits you can get from Runes and Runeys. Farming raises skill levels which raise combat stats which let you take out dungeons which gets you more variety in materials for farming, crafting, and so on. In all seriousness, Rune Factory 4 is a game where just about every activity feeds into another. And just about any other kind of vegetable. You know what's absolutely relevant to fighting enemies in Rune Factory 4? Harvesting Turnips. You know what's not usually relevant to fighting enemies in video games? Harvesting Turnips. So, without further ado, 10 things I would have liked to have known when I started Rune Factory 4, and that I think would be worth knowing for those new to 4S: So now that Rune Factory 4S is almost here, and Rune Factory 5 is on the horizon, I thought I'd cobble together a few of my observations from several years ago (thanks, obsessive text dumps from years past) and give those people just starting out a few pieces of information that may not necessarily be immediately obvious. To be clear, I'm not a genius who knows absolutely everything about this game I just played the game far too much on the 3DS, multiple times over, and can honestly say that it's my favourite game of that console's lifetime. So being a hideous European and thus thoroughly deserving of an extra 3 days' delay to play an already delayed game that I have previously bought and played to death, I thought I'd spend some of the time I would otherwise spend thinking about Rune Factory 4 writing down a few things to help anyone who hasn't already played the game on the 3DS.
