When you check out the profiles section of the main menu inRune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, you’ll be able to see up to 25 slots here that slowly get filled up as you progress through the story. 15 of these slots belong to romanceable characters, while the other ten belong to non-romanceable characters.
Tsubame is one of the non-romanceable characters in the game, and you’re able to find her in the Summer Village. However, you can still level up your bond with her and get various benefits including some unique recipes and combat buffs.
Spring 12th
Once you finish up the crisis of the Spring Village and make it stable,Ulalaka will ask youto make the journey over to the Summer Village, which becomes your next destination. As soon as you enter this village,you’ll find Tsubame alongside two other villagers, and they’ll tell you everything they know about the current situation.
If you want to unlock Tsubame as a bondable character,you’ll have to progress through the Summer Villagearcuntil you unlock Matsuriand do a little task for her. Once you go through that, you can start bonding with Tsubame by finding her in various locations.
Tsubame visits different areas on different days with her cart.You can look for her icon on the top-right side of the mapto check where she is.
If you’re trying to find Tsubame as soon as the day starts, you can also head over to the bath in Summer Village asyou’ll find her coming out of one of the rooms on the upper floor.
Best Gifts And Hangouts For Tsubame
Tsubame is one of the easiest and the hardest characters to bond with at the same time. Outside of talking to her daily, doing requests for her, and using the Plum Branch near her, the main method to get bond level is by hanging out with her daily. When you trigger this mechanic, you can either gift her an item or use the other options.
Being a merchant all about money, Tsubame has some simple gift choices. However,they can be very difficult to acquire during the early game:
Loves
Amber
These are all gemstones that can be acquired from specific chests around different areas orby getting lucky while mining ore deposits. You have higher chances of getting these if the ore deposit is of higher quality.
you’re able to also build better mining hammers as you progress through the story,which also increases your chances of getting gemstones. The easiest way to get them is by hitting Dragonic ore nodes with the best hammer in the game.
Likes
Gold Bracelet
These are some of the best gifts for Tsubame during the early game as you unlock them quite early and they can be made using Gold and Silver respectively,which is easy to get in the Summer and Winter region outskirts.
Silver Bracelet
Ring of Spring
These rings slowly unlock as you progress through the main story andinteract with every Frog Statue and Red Shrine on your way. However, it’s recommended not to create these just for gifting them to Tsubame.
The rings require you to submit a specific gemstone for crafting, andyou’ll get more bond value if you just give the gemstone itselfto her.
Ring of the Underworld
Ring of Heaven
Star Pendant
You can get this item’s recipe on the northern edge of the Isle of Ore in the sky by interacting with the giant Frog Statue. It serves as a decent gift for Tsubame once you get it, but Gold/Silver Bracelets are still better outside of gemstones.
