Rune Factory Frontier Runeys Mini-Guide

[Saccha]

The runies in my homestead don't seem to multiply quickly enough for me to take any to other areas without jeopardizing the homestead's prosperous state. It is at 35-ish for each runey type, and is only increasing by one (if any) per day. Any suggestions?

I would plant a whole bunch of grass and just leaving it there in order to generate more runeys in your homestead. Winter will be a pain, but in the other seasons this should help.

Not as much of a pain as you'd guess.

If you have a properly running Grass Factory, you'll collect at least 20 Grass Runey each day.

On days where you don't have to deal with managing Runey (1-7 of each month), need 14 Grass Runey for all prosperity areas. So, for each area, you will have to have (23x14) 322 Grass Runey for a full month. You will collect, in that timeframe, 460 Grass Runey if you get 20 each day.

With the leftover Grass Runey, you will collect 414 Grass Runey surplus over 3 seasons, giving you -more- then enough Grass Runey... allowing you to completely ignore your grass factory over the winter if you want! During Winter, however, your Grass Factory will -still work-. One way or another, you will be able to simple ignore the grass factory for a while if you want to.

Another amazing mini-guide.
But there must be something wrong with me. I feel like I have it one minute, but then I get totally confused again.. Why can't I grasp this concept with balancing runey's and grass factories and what-not.. I'm going to go sit in a corner and cry now... lol Curse the public school system!

I think I got it, then BAM. Back to square one. *sigh*

Okay, my Tree Runeys are going plooey. Any idea why? My areas are prosperous...

[InLaLaLand]

Does anyone else have a terribly hard time keeping up with the Runeys during winter..? I'm thinking about just sucking them all up and storing them 'till Spring.. lol I'll just fish all Winter..

Having all 8 areas in Prosperity actually won't benefit you at all (crop growth returns to normal, as if you had 0 areas at Prosperity).

are this true?, I have 8 prosperity areas and my strawberry reharvested 1 day than 2 day. or maybe she/he mean 9 prosperity areas?

Any tips to get a Rock Factory? ;A; (and I have like, extra 70 Tree Runeys that just kinda rape everyone so I dunno what to do with them now in my bag <///3)

maybe I can answer.
1) try to remove all water runey at public square(*).
2) if you have constant supply of tree runey you can place more than 50 tree runey plus 5 grass runey to feed tree runey at public square(*).
3) throw about 10 rock runey from your homestead at public square(*) too.

(*) = you can replace public square with rock oriented area like business district or mountain road I guess, but the best area that I know is public square

If I just leave matured crops out on my homestead without harvesting them, will they just continue producing Runeys? Thanks in advance!

Precisely. One random runey will be produced for every 9 mature crops on your field. This works well with grass since it will stay alive through all seasons (except Winter). However, personally I used turnips because I was in a rush to get crops planted and start producing runeys as soon as possible.

Thanks. I appreciate this.

If you also add 10 rock to the grass factory it helps keep the water loss to a minimum.

60 / 10 / 0 / 10

and the next day usually will look something like this:

54 / 0 / 0 / 30

I really want to like this game, I really do, it's such an awesome game. But I really, really dislike the runies. It takes way too much time to grab the grass runies and distribute them about the other areas. I barely have any time for anything else! It's even worse when it's raining, I spend most of the day just entering and exiting just to get 18 runies from my grass factory. Its autumn in my game and I haven't done much in the way of the dungeon :/.

I wish they made it easier to distribute runies so you would have more time for other things.
