Soon after you witness the crisis of Spring Village during the main story ofRune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma, you’ll have some filler quests that’ll introduce you to the general mechanics revolving around your village and its management. You’ll be spending a large part of your time in this game managing your villages.
As you progress in the story, you’ll unlock Summer, Autumn, and Winter villages as well. Each village will have a different style and you’ll have to think differently for them. However, the general aspect of management stays the same, and it’s important to understand everything about it.
Complete Guide To Constructing Buildings And Decorations
When it comes to village management, the most important aspect is constructing the buildings and decorations within it. If you want to build anything in your village, you’ll first have tohead over to the carpenter and make the item using the required resources. These resources largely include Lumber, Material Stone, and sometimes other items.
If you’re running out of the first two resources, you can alwayshead to the outskirts and farm them at the wood and ore deposits marked. However, the endgame goal should be to have enough villagers farming these resources that you won’t need to do it yourself. Once an item is created, you’ll have it in your Building inventory.
The building inventory isdifferent from your regular one and has infinite slots, which means that you don’t have to worry about limitations.
After the building or decoration is in your inventory, you may head over to the development zone that you want to place it in and bring out your Terra Tiller. This will let you enter the inventory and place the item. However, each item has some important things you should look at while constructing it:
As you’d expect, an item that gives increased buffs will cost you extra resources and money. However, once you place it in your village, the buff is permanently applied to your character.This serves as a phenomenal method to make your character stronger.
While the decorations are mostly used to obtain buffs on your character, the buildings have a specific use, which divides them into a few different types:
It’s recommended to have one of each type of building in every village. Theseshould be prioritized over decorations in the early game.
How To Level Up Villages
Each village you unlock has a specific level that you can see beside the map on thetop right once you’ve finished its quest and unlocked the god. Increasing this level gives you a ton of benefits including new recipes and increasing the number of villagers you can have. Higher village level also lets you place more buildings and decorations in it.
You can check your current village level through the Villages menualongside the missions you can complete to gain it. However, here are some of the main things you can focus on:
You can get more Village Missions each time you level up, andsome of them automatically get completedbased on your performance.
Scenic Score, Explained
Scenic Score is an important metric for all four villages as you get a major EXP boost for your village level up with this. When you’re in the Village Builder mode,you may see your current Scenic Score on the bottom left side. Placing anything in your village including paths and terrain tiles increases this score, but there are a few things that can increase it faster:
Having a high Scenic Score is one of the most important factors in upgrading your village level, andyou have to get 50,000 or more to get all the EXP.
How To Manage Villagers
Now that you understand how to construct buildings and decorations in your village, the next step is to manage your villagers. There are mainly two ways to get villagers in the game: exploring the outskirts where you can defeat some mobs with a blue orb in front of them or ending the day,which makes some villagers arrive at your village.
Each villager has some traits that you can see below the general information about them. Ideally, you’d want a villager withas high output as possible alongside some specific statsbased on what you want them to do:
Getting wood and material stone
Taking care of the barn
Taking care of your shops
Cheerful, Life of the party
Fishing
Angler
Other than the traits above, havingHard Worker and Light Eater is goodfor nearly every villager.
For certain businesses like Carpenter, Blacksmith, and Chemist, you require the villager tohave Hobby Woodworker, Journeyman Smith, and Chemist traits respectively. In the early game, you may accept every villager you get. However, as your village levels up, you should start evicting the villagers with bad traits.
This will make way for a chance to get abetter villager at the start of every day.
How To Get Blueprints
When you first head to the Carpenter in any of your villages, you’ll only have a few blueprints that you can craft. As you progress through the game,you can unlock hundreds morein the following ways:
Once you have a blueprint, you can check out the materials you need to craft it by heading over to your inventory andswitching to the Recipes tab at the top.
