FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Can I tame monsters other than those found in the main story dungeons, and if so, how does that work?

Yes, you can tame monsters from various locations, including optional dungeons and open fields. You must befriend a monster by offering gifts. When befriended, you can bring them to your farm.

How does the relationship system with villagers affect combat or farming?

High friendship levels can grant you combat bonuses like helpful buffs during battle, and also villagers may sometimes assist with farm work, such as harvesting or watering crops.

Besides crafting, what other uses do the forges, cooking pots, and other workshop equipment have?

Workshops are necessary for crafting, but they also have other uses. The forge can upgrade weapons, and the cooking pot creates dishes that are essential for restoring HP/RP or providing temporary stat boosts.

Is there a limit to how many monsters I can keep on my farm at once?

What happens if my Rune Points (RP) reach zero during combat or farming?
