Can you grow crops in winter? I am approaching my first winter in a few in game days and want to plan ahead.

Also is there any way to separate stacks of items? Sometimes I just need to ship 1 thing but it is in a pile of 9.

Thanks for any help.

Ok,I'm seriously annoyed with that giant golem in rune prana 7. I would greatly appreciate if someone would help me with it. Any weapon tips? What element is the most effective against him? Also,what level should I be?

1- Yep,you can grow any crops in winter.
2- You can separate them by clicking on the stack with your stylus twice.

Although many things don't grow well in winter. Some things that do:
Iron Leaf (Flower)
Noel Grass (I think Flower)
Lamp Grass (Flower)

If you look at a seed bag it will say does not grow well in: -insert season-. As long as it doesn't say winter you should be okay to grow it at a normal speed.

So will the crops I have planted that haven't matured yet, will they keep growing into the winter? I have a sword flower and shield flower in the fields at the castle.

Don't know if this has already been asked, but I have lots of 4 Leaf clovers and am trying to find Rune Crystals, so I put the clovers on my hammer? Or do I make them into Happy Rings?

can anyone tell me how to change your party's weapons and equipments? if you can actually change it?
and is there any weapon making guides around? Q~Q
2. There's this rune factory 4 wikia and it's pretty good. I'm in the process of double checking things on the list.

Hope this helps :)
While you're at it, maybe you (or someone else) could fill out the recipes a little more? ;D

The Wiki is missing a lot of higher-level recipes for basically everything except tools and swords, which is unfortunate because I'd like to equip Dylas and Leon with some good ~70 fists and spears. I found some level-appropriate recipes in Japanese, but they're pretty non-sensible when filtered through Google Translate.

Throw oil at the golem (to reduce its fire res) and burn it with fire magic. There should be a level 8 fireball in a chest somewhere, if you use it the battle will be much easier. It also works on Dead Tree 2 since it's weak to fire. Dash around since its rocket punch and whirl attack can be deadly. There's also a glove / fist skill that penetrates defense, but it's hard to fight the golem at close range once it turns red.

I beat it at level 187, but that's because of weapon hunt in Sharance Maze. You should be able to beat it at a lower level. Weapon was Mage Staff+, assisted by Green and Red.

Oh « Harvest Goddess » I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there any other way to level up seeds other than cutting them with a sickle/randomly getting them after a harvest? Maybe I just have a really bad memory, but the highest I can seem to go is level 3.

@ Llama
Some monsters drop seeds and you can find seeds in treasure chests and hidden around levels sometimes. But I'm not sure if they can drop high level seeds or if the seeds you find can go beyond the level you've earned yourself. So if your seeds are at 3 you only may be able to find level 3 seeds or lower. Also keep in mind that in order to get higher level seeds when cutting with a Sickle you need a good Sickle. So if your Sickle is made with a lower quality ore (like Iron or Bronze) you won't be able to go very high.

You could also use some fertilizer because it says in it description : "helps soil raise higher level crops" I haven't personally tried it out but it might help.

@Googa and Kail: Thanks so much for your help! I haven't really tried upgrading my sickle at all and I totally forgot that fertilizer even exists. Hopefully I'll have some higher-level crops now, haha.
