The only thing I'm focused on, is getting Bianca to like me
She's driving me insane! <3

Oh yeah, all the girls in Trampoli have been talking about some mystery novel.
What's with that?

[Chaos_44]

Just talk to Selphy to FIND OUT. It's one of those awesome little things that the game does to keep the dialog nice and fresh. Like me.

Runeys do naturally decrease in winter, abeit a bit less spastically as far as I can tell. Since it all resets in spring, it's not too terribly difficult for you to get things back going again as long as willing handle a big farm from the start.

Don't ignore your Runeys! If you let areas get sick and go extinct, it affects the speed at which your crops grow! With extinct areas, it can take a nearly full season for Turnips to grow. An area only needs 5 of any one kind of Runey to be healthy, so untill you get your homestead handled/go grass factory making/something else you figure out, you don't need to worry about packing areas with them for your crops to do well. You just have to stay on top of it.

UNHHHHH...
I hate maintaining my damn Runeys. It's...annoying. I think I'll just make EVERY SINGLE SITE have 60 of everything. No worries then! :D

[Ayumi_Ishimaru]

Wow, okay, I have 60 of each type in homestead and at least 12+ of all types in other areas.
And I have.....200 water runeys in my bag *ahem*

So I think with the amount I already have in homestead I should be fine..plus for the first week of winter I'll get some Runeys in all areas.

I sense copious amounts of sarcasm in that quote. And yes, they're annoying. But if you do manage to get 60 in all areas, despite not having to worry much about the devouring eachother, you no longer get anything from prosperity.


And Ayumi_Ishimaru, 200 water runeys??? Talk to Candy and you may never have to water your field again. Speaking of which, rainy days have the habit of sending most runeys into hiding, so it's a pain to collect any on such days.


Since I lack a working grass factory in my game, during the last few days of autumn I'm going to harvest as many runeys from my homestead as I can, that way I can keep everything alive during winter, or at least getting things back together at the end of winter, making the start of Spring a little less stressful.

« Puppy Doodoo », that's right.
Okay, all but one. And I was DEAD SERIOUS.

[Hm]

Argh i have completely forotten about the Runeys.
I have havested like maybe 4 Runeys in my Rune Factory lifetime and i released them back into the same area haha. I really should get to work on that. It really is a hassle. If i keep enough Runeys in my Homestead and ignore the other areas since i dont plant crops anywhere but homestead and in caves, would the rate at which my crops grow still get affected?

XD
Me too!
I'm so bad..............

@ Choas: Ah! I should of known to talk to Selphy xD Thank you!

[Mizuru007]

My 60-Runey plan has been a great success thus far. I've gotten two areas to prosperity! Unfortunately, that leaves everywhere else with little over 10 of each type. xD;;;

[Mrs.Elliot]

Well it's better then I've done XD
Does the game ever end?

[Vortex138]

In regards to the Runeys, you have to remember that the Runeys of ALL the areas affect your crops, not just the ones on the Homestead. So if you have 60 of each on your Homestead, but 3 or 4 areas that are extict, then your crops will suffer big time. Honestly, I don't mind the Runey thing. I just spend a day every two weeks where instead of ruin hunting, I go and Runey harvest. Seems to work well. Also remember that in the first week of each new season the Runey don't do anything(eat each other or produce), but the third week(20 or 21st of the month) they eat and grow like wildfire.

[Mrs.Elliot]

When you think about the Runey balance, it sounds really hard.
But it's actaully kind of easy

[Vortex138]

Yea, it's not bad at all, just takes time.

[Mrs.Elliot]

Well thank you ^^
I'm going to have to take an RFF break, so I can make some ToT videos for someone

sigh...
