How did you figure this out? Im stuck with the same problem. Help please
I need help with this as well. I assume it has something to do with magic seeds.
This was the response I got from someone in a seperate thread. I still don't understand it though. Maybe you can figure it out and explain it to me? Please this is bugging me so bad:

[I stated that there was a purple thing on the very left of the map and didn't know what it was - This is their response ]That Purple thing is a switch you need to go down the stair's walk up the broken Beam to activate it, as for the water platform you need to turn on 2 yellow switch both on sides, of that platform that is under water just gotta do lil back track

Hey, I've been playing and it seems to be pretty easy so far so I was kinda breezing through... and I remember reading something about earning the sickle somewhere and I just sort of figured I had it....

But now I can't find it. Where do you earn it again, and why can't I find it anywhere? I've only beaten the first forest dungeon, and done requests up until the 'harvest toy herb' one. Help?

Oh I got it now. It's on the right. Go to the room on the right and up and then on the very right of that room there is a little red switch on a broken beam. I was only looking on the left side after quickly checking the right and not seeing it.

Hi~ Kari here.

I was wondering, I just walked outside the castle and now there are a bunch of Runeys floating up the screen. Is it some kind of event, or what does it mean? Is there a purpose to it?

4 simple steps:

1. Unlock the furniture in the general store through an Order (500 Points)
2. Buy the Closet from the general store (3000 gold, 50 logs, 20 Material Stones)
3. Unlock the clothing merchant through an Order (1000 Points)
4. Buy the swim suit (1500 Gold). The merchant is located directly outside of the city, one screen east.

I can't remember which request was the one that rewarded you the sickle, but it should be no problem if you lost yours. Just buy one from the blacksmith. Alternatively, you could always get the forge and make one yourself, gain a bit of exp on the side too.

Is there a festival going on? It might be some Rune Factory style confetti

Quick question - and I know it's probably been answered before, but ...
Frey doesn't need any requirements for a guy to reverse propose to her, right? Like a bigger bed or anything?
And one more - If there is a Town Event going on, (I'm stuck on "Meeting Amber Watson." No idea how to start it.) Can a guy still reverse propose?

Just curious! Dylas is at 8 and a half hearts right now, but I'd like to hold off his proposal event until I can get all the guys into lovers mode, if only so I can see how they are all like. If you have any other tips on how to hold this off for a little while, too, then that would be incredibly helpful! Thank you!

For reverse proposal, you still need the upgraded bed. I'm not sure, but I think the guys propose after their main sub-event, so if you avoid completing/starting that you should be okay.

Okay, I'm stumped at the heaven's gate. I've been attacking it since morning and its almost night and NOTHING. It won't break or do anything. It makes a clinking sound when I hit it, that is about it.

How do I get past it?

Well, you can walk past it, if that's what you mean.

It's story related, reflecting the state of the current events.

Shortly after I posted this, I realized my mistake. I'm not ready for that area yet. I was supposed to go south instead. So this mistake is now officially chalked up to pebkac. Only substitute 3ds for keyboard. :p

I put grass in it and it has fodder, but how do you get it back out so you can work it into the field? Right now I just have the box sitting beside the field, full of fodder. Is it supposed to be placed on the field, beside the field, anywhere (bedroom)?

And what is it actually doing? It's supposed to help my soil quality, but how do I test that to even know it's working?

I tried to find something in the game, a book or something to tell me again how to make this thing work, but I can't find any back reference books in the game.
Do you mean the compost bin or the fodder bin? Because the fodder bin is used to put fodder in to feed the monsters in your barn. The compost bin which is used to fertilize your field uses whatever grass or weeds that you put in there automatically. So you only have to worry about remembering to keep the compost bin full.

Also, I think it'd be better if you post any questions you have on the questions thread. You'd probably get answered quicker that way and everything will stay in one place.
Yes I meant the compost bin, though I have no clue how to use the fodder bin either.

So I have the fodder bin in the monster barn with a woolie. It has fodder in it. Is that all there is to it? Does it have to be in the barn or could I basically just dump it anywhere and it still feeds the monsters?

Same with the compost bin. Does it matter where it's at? Does it have to sit on the field, next to the field, anywhere on the same map as the field, or can it just be sitting anywhere?

How fast is the compost used up? Is it based on the number of tilled tiles you have on the field or just the tiles that have crops on them?

Thanks.
