Err yaa ... why no Rune Factory Frontier thread?

My character is level 40 now! Just cleared the Lava Ruins last night, and tomorrow is first day of Autumn!

LP = Love points ... how is this different from that smiley face ah?

I mean for example I've been giving tons of grass to that hot springs girl, at 10 smiley face but only 2 love icons.

One criticism I have is that there is too little guidance given from in-game. I don't want my hand to be held, but then practically every single thing needs to refer to FAQs of some sort (example being the Runeys ... zzzz).

Anyway I've got 2 main problems ... firstly is that I'm still confused between LP and FP for the girls. Every single FAQ I've read says "give this girl this thing and it will raise your LP." But as far as I can tell, giving gifts raises FP, not LP.

e.g. I just gave Iris a bunch of flowers and she is now at 1 FP but 0 LP.

Another is the monsters in my barn ... how come they never go past 1 FP huh? I've had a sheep for at least 1 month now, I've got more than enough feed, I've petted him every single day, and yet he's still at 1FP. Do I really also need to take him out?

Eh it's Monday I think (in-game la hehe), cheh gotta wait til holiday before I can get the blender ...

Kyo >> Using the pet glove to "hey there" the pets counts as petting them right?

liquid >> You need to go into Lava Ruins B2-B3-ish and smash rocks there to get some silver, then upgrade your hammer first. Then in the green ruins first floor, cut vines -> turn left -> turn left -> cut vines -> go left -> smash rocks and through the door, there's 4 stones there that if you SP smash it'll give you 1-2 silver every time.

For the tree stumps, axe + scrap iron + scrap iron a few times until you get a level 3-4 axe so that the RP requirements drop. Then you can clear more stumps per day

I just upgraded all my tools to the "gold" versions and WHOA the RP cost skyrocketed man ...

I mean seriously just 3-4 swings of my sickle and half RP gone already. SP Fishing is literally like 4 fish caught for every sashimi I eat (and I'm eating level 60+ food that gives like 300 rp each) ...

Yeh Brodik ruined my field, took me like 4 fish worth of RP to clear back all the tree stumps and rocks >_<

I've just entered first day of winter ... getting a bit bored to be honest. Mostly cos monsters in Snow Ruins B4 onwards owns me super hard, & upgrades to my armor all need flowers.

And it takes a LONG time to levelup flowers, and I'm too lazy to do it.

You have to forge yourself.

Recipe books are sold at Selphy. If she doesn't sell you anything good, beat green ruins boss first. If you have the recipe, you can forge items 20lvls above your forging skill (but no chance of "green" forge lah).

Alternately u can also just forge blindly using FAQs, but you can't forge items higher lvl than your forge skill if you don't have the recipe.
