These videos have rekindled my obsession with Rune Factory- also the advantage of no longer relying solely on bookmarked gamefaqs lists lol. Thanks for the content :)
Omg finally someone explained Dolphin Brooch and Strange Pregnant in a way I can understand. I've played this game for years and just ignored them. You're a lifesaver🙏
By comparing the footage, it does look like Art of Defense does halve the time spent flinching after attacks. Use the , and . keys to move through the footage frame-by-frame, and count how many distinct frames there are from getting hit to being able to move again. 4:25 With the Art of Defense, there are generally around 5 to 7 frames spent flinching. (About 1/6 to 1/4 of a second.) 9:47 Without it, there are generally around 10 to 15 frames spent flinching. (About 1/3 to 1/2 of a second.) See, in that latter situation, you might have been able to escape their combo if you'd had Art of Defense! ...But considering it doesn't seem to help against stun and knockdown, I dunno if it's really worth an accessory slot. It is something, though!
Thank you very much for the video! Just binge watched your whole series on crafting and I gotta say - the crafting system in this game is incredibly impressive. Gotta wait for that cooking video haha, although I do believe it works similarly - crafted dish inherites bonuses from edible items/dishes/medicine added to the base recipe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well! :D
I'm glad to say I'm one of your first 200 subscribers. Thank you for your helpful videos. I keep coming back to them as I progress through the game. Much appreciated
I think the main takeaway from this is that if Anette wasn't the postwoman in Frontier, she would be the most powerful character in all of Rune Factory. Thanks for another great video!
Wow, I didn't know it was named after a Frontier character! Now I feel like a fake fan... just kept thinking of Annette from Fire Emblem and her Movement Rally...
@@dreamingsuntide1 Frontier and Ocean. She's a lovely girl and you'll understand the creating dust as you walk after meeting her. I strongly suggest to at least watch videos about Frontier. It has almost nothing, however, it's one of the best Rune Factory with atmosphere (but again, it has almost nothing gameplay wise if you compare it to RF4). Also, if you don't know Mist (rune factory 1 and Rune factory Frontier who share her and other characters), you really are fake:)) she is the reason why this game is so Turnip focused :)) she's the one who legendary Turnip related Items refer to:))
Thanks for the video. The crafting mechanics in this game are unreasonable extensible, which is why I like them. Hand-Knit Scarf reduces crafting RP by 1/16, Fluffy Scarf by 1/8 and reversed fatigue halves the amount used after calculations. In RF5, they made reversed fatigue lower it by 1/16, for a total of 1/4 reduction. Dolphin Brooch actually shares its effect with White Stone, and can simply be present in any piece of gear, meaning there's no need to use an accessory slot for it. For some reason, this effect can benefit the player, but ONLY if they are unmarried. Weird. You can't get No Res 10% on most accessories, so the effective reduction is actually 70%, but as a silver lining for only 5% that frees up 4 slots on your accessory for other things. My favorite accessory is Talisman, hands down. It restores HP, RP, reduces RP used for most things, increases movement speed, and essentially makes me immune to statuses I'd otherwise have to use upgrade slots for. For me, it's better than Anette's necklace-I just cook an object x into a boiled pumpkin to avoid RP loss. Also, for some reason reversed paralysis makes you move faster than [the fastest mount with the Rider's Mark] in RF5. Sure. Oh, and just to make us all sad: Strange Pendant doesn't nullify monster defense in RF5. Guess it was a bug? I also never really bothered with Strange Pendant, but considering all magic already heals you end game, you'd be healed for more and only have to worry about physical attacks; and that would free up my ten-folding crit for something else.
Thanks for the insights (though I'm a bit hesitant about RF5 stuff here, I imagine many people might not want to hear much about it yet). What do you mean about No Res not being accessible on most Accessories though? What's stopping the effects there?
@@dreamingsuntide1 Noted. I'll stop mentioning it since it's not out yet in English. About No Res: I just noticed that it doesn't actually apply to many accessories, as the ones I tend to make don't allow it to apply. I feel like I got it to apply to an accessory at one point in the past, but I just checked all my save files, and none of them have No Res on the accessory. I just did some testing, and turns out some accessories just don't let you apply No Res, while others do.
Mostly came for the section at 1:02 But I'll stick around for the rest. (Accessory overriding has always been the bane of my existence to remember how it works.)
Actually reverse fatigue does kinda half crafting RP, it shows the RP required the same as without reverse fatigue but after the resulting craft is when it seems to half consumption. So you can't cheese higher leveled crafts but it still does let you craft more, but foods and formuade work just as well anyways.
i actually made a diamond brooch with the effect of the hp regen accesory the magic charm and the happy ring and i use it on myself and all party members its terrifying
I'm pretty sure the art of defense reduces the time staggered after being hit by regular hits, not the stun debuff. Like when you're trying to eat a food or potion and keep getting interrupted, it helps with that.
btw i think you can combine 2 acc effect with light ore. for example i combine my talisman with proof of wisdom, so i got both reverse status effect from talisman and RP regen from proof of wisdom.
Another fantastic, informative video! Bless you and your sacrifice from the 'dying throat' to make this for us, thanks! I actually had discovered the Talisman's usefulness at my stage and the speed and regen is so nice if you can be bothered to maintain the status effects. Sadly it appears to get less and less effective as you build natural status res since Object X will become a tiny bit less likely to inflict statuses the more you utilize it, but it's effective nonetheless. If only I could still talk to Jones and Nancy without them stripping my (De?)buffs. Curios about the Art of Defense... and Stun Res in general. With either that accessory or maxed out Stun Res, does this at all affect the knockdown recovery time against say those cat monsters? I never thought about Stun! Merry Christmas, happy holidays and all that, looking forward to future content!
Yeah, everyone telling me how worried they are about me being sick is the one reason I don't feel great about maintaining Talisman... But yeah. Am curious to see if there's some convenient way to lower Poison/Para/Fatigue/Sick resistance to use those statuses more efficiently... guess we'll see when I start up the next one. With the cats, I kept trying and I couldn't find any way that changed how long they knock you up for... even Shield Ring, when it made the enemy do only 1 damage to you, still had you juggled constantly in the air. So I all you really can do is just be careful and try and dodge everything. In any case, thanks so much for watching my videos still, and I wish you a merry christmas too!!
field pendant would be very nice on monsters with good abilities like the cats/little emperor/ghost ray. I mowed through maya road/Leon Karnak riding a Ghost Ray/Little Emperor. But for arc 3 stuff this strat prob won't be as good cuz it's just way better to work on crafting gear then
Charge attacks sound kind of useless if you can extend your weapon range up to 6 times, you wont use up RP and have massive AOE, while charge attacks can drain up to 40% RP in one go depending on the effect. Love the crafting system but i think it needed a little more work especially balancing some things like Charge attacks not being able to take effect from RP reduction items, or reducing RP in overall percentage, instead of a numerical value!
Hey I set up a Talisman to be made and noticed I had room for 3 more items. I included a Magic Charm, a Magic Ring, and a Shield Ring. I ended up with a Talisman with the added functionality of ALL 4 accessories! Magic Ring 💍 is made with 2 items. Does that mean I could add up to 4 more items from the leftover slots during crafting to end up with a Magic Ring 💍 with up to FIVE different functions 🤔 including the inate increased charge speed function of the Magic Ring? Someone let me know!
You can add up to a max of 3 extra abilities, for 4 total, yes! And yeah, the Magic Ring (and everything covered in this video) is included among those!
I was checking and there are no videos for headgears, shields and armor😢 can you please share your formulas with us? I would honestly copy your formulas!! I’m not very creative
Headgear, shields, and armour have nothing unique about them so should be in the first video about the fundamentals! Any formulas and spreadsheets should be in the video about optimising the best sets!
Yet another suggestion: Please create a spoiler type video showing all hidden areas... I missed so many... Like Indra cave and the "millionstrike" you keep using
When you mentioned that you can get dolphin brooch to work for your character, does it mean if you either craft it before getting married(I bet the chances of that being possible is astronomically low) or get it as a random chest drop it'll work for you then? Also, does it stop working for you if and when you get married and have a child?
It does stop working for you once you get married and have a child. As for how to get it... (Spoilers of course) Once you finish all Eliza's Requests you unlock an Extra Order that basically allows a New Game Plus. You need to craft it on one file, and then New Game Plus it to your new one, and only then do you get a Dolphin Brooch.
I can't but hope further RF game will make it visible what effects and abilities are transferred to new crafted items... No more needing to talk with an NPC and to show clearly increases (like Drop rate, is in increased if 4 leaves, Rare can and such are used? No way of seeing the numbers). Please explain the pineapple + apple tree. I still don't get it. I have field lv16, yet the level of pineapple level go from 10 to 9 and how many I cab harvest go from 3 to 2 (so I destroy the filed, replant afterwards once field did a break)
Oh the Pineapple/Apple thing is just me being weird and a temporary thing I did ages ago. The short answer is that Apple Trees are best for levelling your soil. And Pineapples are just nice to have to increase your stats, and to make some juice. So I set one apple tree on each plot and filled the rest with pineapple trees. The drop in level and harvest is, I think, related to some of the other stats you have. As far as I remember, the soil basically has a "base" level that slowly increases over time, but you can do stuff (put in Formula C, or pull out crops, or...) that temporarily increase or decrease it. You've probably just been pulling stuff out so much that you've dropped the soil quality, so your best bet will probably be to leave the soil for a while, or just to chuck a few Greenifiers and, I think, Minimiser, to temporarily bring it back up again.
@@dreamingsuntide1 I did with the greenifier, even if the level when back up, how many I can harvest stayed in red....though...now...it doesn't matter anymore as I just collect the pineapples (to get the skill and runies) and just throw the pineapples randomly, can't even bother with the shipping bin, because I'm wasting real lifetime and my money issues have been solved since I got the lv10 Turnip, so yeah, I really just harvest them for the skill points as I can't see how to reach max otherwise... I really hit a wall here where I feel this game is impossible (without cheating) to achieve 100% due to how time-consuming it is. I check data mining and more. Wood, Stone, 50.000 is max each, yet you can (even if you buy from Artur) only add 9 by 9 by 9 at a time. And it takes ages to get all just for developing the barn necessary for achievement. Luckily nothing for the house, and the extra room looks like a waste of space from what I saw in your videos....like the empty house next to the Maya route due to airship and general teleportation ability..... All the IN game fishing through...even with adding said fish to the fishing pole, it's really time-consuming to just fish and fish until you get a big enough for the basement gold trophy, let alone the extra rare ones. I was just fishing absent-mindedly for hours just to get them so I ship them and be able to buy them afterwards (well, at least now 100% shipping...I can now enjoy just story events and they are so beautiful!!!). Levelling up again, apparently max level is 65.000 something (forgot the exact number). Even if enemies are max out completely (level ~10.000), drop rate and quality don't increase, as well as exp gained ( I mean, I killed via poison level 10.000 enemies and just a few level increase....you get the option to increase levels end game, there was no need to limit exp gain to prevent people from cheating via poison when the max level is 6 times bigger than enemies ultimate max level....). Grow corps and craft items for stats increase over and over and over...so I can beat the same enemies for the same drops... And let me not even start with villages....after lv10, nothing until you hit level 100. At level 100, every last one gives you a message that's more or less: I'm so happy you came to this town, ever since we meet my life improved for the better, let's be good friends for many more years to come.. And after level 100 friendship....nothing....just this special repeats after hitting other milestones. Like 1.000 friendship. If I'm not wrong, max is 10.000 friendship level? Anyways. This was my breakdown of why this game is impossible to max out, due to how real time consuming it is. Like with skills, some are maxed at level 999....I can't even imagine how time consuming is to maxed out all level 999 skills....something that I'm sad as I'm usually do 100% everything a game has a game to offers....Yep...I will focus on town and marriage events and call it a day. Thank you again for all the videos. I played RF4 years ago, however, because of your videos, my experience in replaying the game was way better, exactly because I never realised how much I missed out. I really love this game and will replay it for sure year later. And the town events are so good!

Subscribed! I was looking for videos like this 8 months ago and couldn't find anything

Perfectly clear presentation of information. I appreciate all the work you're putting into this series!
star pendant works with leveliser, you gain 150% xp per drink with it.
Thank you very much for the video!

Thank you for these. It has helped so much
Glad to help!!
Actually reverse fatigue does kinda half crafting RP, it shows the RP required the same as without reverse fatigue but after the resulting craft is when it seems to half consumption. So you can't cheese higher leveled crafts but it still does let you craft more, but foods and formuade work just as well anyways.
Oh wow I did not know this - that's an incredibly fun fact. Shame it doesn't see to let you craft higher level stuff though...
i actually made a diamond brooch with the effect of the hp regen accesory the magic charm and the happy ring and i use it on myself and all party members its terrifying
I'm pretty sure the art of defense reduces the time staggered after being hit by regular hits, not the stun debuff. Like when you're trying to eat a food or potion and keep getting interrupted, it helps with that.
Yeah I tried testing that (that's called "Stun") and I didn't notice any difference
Amazing video!
btw i think you can combine 2 acc effect with light ore. for example i combine my talisman with proof of wisdom, so i got both reverse status effect from talisman and RP regen from proof of wisdom.
Remember that you don't need Light Ore here, and can just put them directly in to get up to four total effects!
Another fantastic, informative video! Bless you and your sacrifice from the 'dying throat' to make this for us, thanks!
I actually had discovered the Talisman's usefulness at my stage and the speed and regen is so nice if you can be bothered to maintain the status effects. Sadly it appears to get less and less effective as you build natural status res since Object X will become a tiny bit less likely to inflict statuses the more you utilize it, but it's effective nonetheless. If only I could still talk to Jones and Nancy without them stripping my (De?)buffs.
Curios about the Art of Defense... and Stun Res in general. With either that accessory or maxed out Stun Res, does this at all affect the knockdown recovery time against say those cat monsters? I never thought about Stun!

Pretty sure heart pendant does not effect Instant Skill up runes found through farming (the ones that give random skill a skill up)
Mind testing that
Star Pendent also increase the exp you get from Leveliser
field pendant would be very nice on monsters with good abilities like the cats/little emperor/ghost ray. I mowed through maya road/Leon Karnak riding a Ghost Ray/Little Emperor. But for arc 3 stuff this strat prob won't be as good cuz it's just way better to work on crafting gear then
Some of the recruitable lategame boss monsters are amazing though, especially with field pendant! So it never goes completely useless.
very nice
any particular reason to arrange the farm like that? (apple tree pineapple)?
Charge attacks sound kind of useless if you can extend your weapon range up to 6 times, you wont use up RP and have massive AOE, while charge attacks can drain up to 40% RP in one go depending on the effect.

I like your videoes, learn some cool stuff. You must have invested lots of time in this game.
For me Star Pendant is F Tier... (Level 1 Hell mode Playthrough)
