Rune Factory 4 Special |OT| Regrowth

Yeah I felt the same way. I kept getting wrecked by the horse and was a little discouraged. Ended up just doing some daily tasks and taking it easy. Then trained up the dual blades and obtained fire spell. The fire spell helped a ton to keep a little distance while being able to do damage. It certainly took me a few tries but was able to do it. As others mentioned I was saving outside and killing game and loading save when I would die to it.
I'm sure there are better ways to do the fight, but as a newcomer to the series it ended up working out!
It's an upgrade in the order menu next to Ventuswill.
another question regarding progress: should I just go to sleep even if its not night time just to trigger the next thing? Like for example im still very early, my daily request is some flower, but it didnt grow the next day, and I have nothing else "to do" right now, the girl went to live with the detective lady and im supposed to visit soon but shes not there yet (i checked), so should I just dump my RPs on some task (I just cooked a bunch of turnips right now) and go to sleep to advance the story / requests?
I usually make sure to at least dump my RPs once and go the bath and use all my RPs again. I'll go to bed after that no matter what time it is.
What a delightful day of cracking out to this gem. It's even better than I remember.
Where are you all stashing your stations (cooking, chemistry, forge, etc.)? I can't remember if you can upgrade your room, and it's already getting pretty cramped with just the few things I've bought so far. Seems like you can store these things anywhere in town, but that's not nearly as convenient. Though I guess I could store all of the cooking sets at Porcoline's, the forging equipment at Bado's, and so on.

Yes. Unless it's raining, then that will do the job for you. But watering can upgrades allow you to charge and water larger and larger chunks of the field in one shot.
Once you raise her friendship level a bit, you'll be able to make an order where she and Barrett show up daily. In the meantime I think Raven loves pendants and likes flowers.
chose the request to get everyone to lvl 1 friendship
Made the same one at first. lol
You can cancel requests and do them later FYI. Just press - and cancel it.
somehow it was complete after I did some ruins even tho Barret and Raven was at 0 and I didnt even see Raven recently /shrug
IIRC, some things just give a blanket FP increase to everyone.
When do I start getting big monies? I finished the first story arc, have all the kitchen tools and crafting stations, but I don't have more than 30,000 gold on a consistent basis since I have to keep re-upping on seeds after every big harvest. I'm entering my first Autumn.
And they want 50,000 gold for a double bed?!!?

Just sharing this excellent guide I found. I feel its content is much more useful to a newcomer than most guides I've seen.
I'm not sure if you got there yet but near the third dungeon there's a tree that spawns a good bit of lumber every day.
I find Material Stone to be a bit more scarce. But you can get a lot of it, and lumber as well, once you get access to the Autumn and Winter fields. I generally hit all three of them as part of my daily routine. Currently have over 700 lumber and 200 Mat. stone.
...Sort of?
RF4's is connected to the first game's but not in a way that makes the first game required to understand it or anything.
There are overarching story elements... but each game essentially takes place in a different small town in different kingdoms. Nothing that would be necessary to know isn't explained.
Thought so, but thanks for confirming.
If you've never played one (or something like this), the Online Manual from the title screen makes for a good read. You literally have to be online though, since it opens up a Marvelous website that you page through. 37 or so pages of reading, laid out presumably like the actual manual. Art, screen shots, etc.
Edit - Actually, you don't need to access the Online Manual from the title screen. I pulled the URL for you.

There are characters from older Rune Factory games that show up in RF4. The games are fairly self-contained though. The only direct sequel is RF1->Frontier.
Hey hersheyfan,
I've located the URL for the Online Manual available from the game's main menu.
I thought you might like to include it in the OP, threadmark this post, or both.
It's a pretty nice primer for the game, and was created to look like a physical game manual.
You use the BACK / NEXT buttons near page numbers to navigate.

I don't why but I bought this game yesterday and started playing it last night and it's morning already...

One of us!
Just found that spot! After about a week of going between that spot and the small summer field near town I managed to get enough to get a 2nd field. Been leaving that unused and it's been giving me a decent supply of lumber/stone each day in addition to what I can find in the wild.
Funny enough the exact opposite for me seems to be happening, I'm swimming in stone (450+ now) but lumber I usually seem to never have more then around 120-150max at a time haha. The small summer field loves generating 2-3 grey boulder spawns almost every single day but just a couple times a week gives me a tree stump.
Depends on the monster for sure. Ambrosia(first boss) is suuuuper useful for instance.
didnt even think of taming bosses, and i've even gone back to them too!
They typically require special things to tame with, but yeah! It's very neat, and most of the bosses are very strong.
Much like your actual equipment, you can break the game (combat wise) with certain monsters and what you feed them. Though it has been like 6 years since I've done a play through, so I don't remember exactly how to do that.

I got ya. Added a new section to the OP with the link to this EU manual, along with a few other things.
If anybody else knows of some useful guides elsewhere that you think would be good to post in the OP, just let me know and I'll throw it in/credit you!
Thank you.
FWIW, I have the US version of the game running on a US Switch.
I imagine all Western versions link to that same manual.

Gotcha! Was just basing it on the link you sent haha. Will update the description, cheers!
Not too bad. And at least you got a nice bit of wood and material stone. Those big grey rocks spit out 9 mat. stones each!R.I.P my field full of crops the day after a summer Typhoon
Anyone here yet grab the credits? I would think after a few days someone would've by now. Nothing on YouTube yet it seems.
