Rune Crystal:
Serpent, you get these by breaking the Rune ores in the Autumn area, the ones that give of RP when broken with a hammer. Of course, a Rune Crystal won't immediately pop out by breaking one of the rune ores so it's more or less luck/chance. I remember having to break like 30+ of those in two in-game days until I could find one.

Oh and this thread's great. Thank you so much!

Racoon Leaf:
This attained via a drop when the Raccoon boss in the Spring territory cave of Selfia is defeated.
Yellow Feather:
Iirc, they're dropped by the golden ducks near Obsidian Mansion but at a really rare rate.

The Invisible Stone can be found in more places than just Selphia Plains. I found it in the last room of the Yokmir Forest right before the boss room.

As someone who is new to the Rune Factory series, this is so helpful. Especially since RF4 info is sparse online (or so it seems.) Thank you!

I already know about the tree on Sercerezo Hill, but for over ten times straight it only drops me Green Crystal Seed and none of the others. Is it my incredibly luck or something affecting the drop?
