Usually a big to medium shadow and yes they have a normal/dark shadow (Most rarer fish have light shadows) for a list on where to find them check here!

BUT! I'm stuck there at this lava dungeon where i need to defeat this monster boss, i caant defeeeat it T__T its annoying that it heals himself and the main monster (not those 2 head beside it) i dont really get much damage to it.
or maybe im just too weak? i'm at lvl 43. I need heelp pls :(
I generally start by killing the plant part that heals it. Irritating thing. Then I whack the other two.
I was leveling up in Yokmir Cave before I tried attacking it again. At first, I only dealt 10 damage after defeating it's monsters. Then, after around levels 80-90, maybe 100, I tried again, and it really helped. I also had better weapons, which I got from treasure chests and leveling up my forging level. I don't completely remember much, but I think I took Margaret with me; the first save file is where I'm playing as Lest, while the second one will be my Frey file. And yeah, the Rafflesia isn't exactly my favorite boss in the game, but I did whatever I could to prepare for the fight against it.
Do you mean you are level 80-100 now? Wow you're dedicated.
Before attacking the main plant you must kill those two on the side. It helps a lot. Try bringing Forte along and a pet too. Don't forget to forge and craft strong weapons and accessories. I wouldn't recommend leveling up to level 80 or anything (unless you want to) because that's quite overleveled for this boss but leveling up a bit may help.

For seasonal descriptions, read the seed bags. You should sickle a crop when its ready to harvest to level up your crop. Higher level sickles get the crop levels up higher.

Oh, not right now. I was around 80-100 during the first arc. Now I'm at level 165 after beating the second arc. I'm going to try to level Leon and Illuminata up to over level 100; though, this is just for fun.

I'm pretty sure they have a light shadow. I caught a few of those when I was trying to complete the fishing shipping, and by then I only targeted the rare ones.

Sorry, I know this has been asked before but searching isn't helping me.

My wind resistance is very low. How do you raise your resistances to the elements? Is it by using the related spells or?

(Edited since I had another question but found it out by doing more requests. Sorry and thanks ahead of time for your help.)

Resistances skills are only for ailments. You need to upgrade your gear with wind resistance items.

For wind you can use objectX + mixed herbs for a 10%, Green crystal for 5% or Giant green crystal for 20%.

I don't post much usually lurk but I think my game may have bugged out.

I recently unlocked Kiel's Part time job event and he's not progressing it. He just stands in front of the general store and the scene doesn't show. Is there anyway I could fix this.

Did you look at the town event guide? Maybe something on there might help with it.

Have you checked the guide? http://www.fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=160204

The general rule for events is that if a conversation/scene doesn't trigger, sleep and try again next day.

Quick questions about sleepovers. Is there any specific way to trigger them? I know you have to talk to Meg if you're playing as Frey, but I wasn't sure if FP had to be at a certain level. Also, can you get sleepovers if you're married?

I haven't married anyone yet, but I did talk to Doug and he mentioned it once. I think he was around 4-5 FP, but I don't know if you need to have a certain amount of FP with anyone to activate it.

You can start getting sleepover events once Doug/Margaret reach 3 FP/LP.
And yeah, you can definitely get sleepover events after marriage. I get them all the time. If I remember correctly, for the girls, there's even a sleepover dialogue that changes slightly because you're married.

I haven't gotten a sleepover event in the 201 hours I've played so don't worry if you don't trigger it for a while

Oh so Object X can be modified depending on what you make it with. I guess that explains it, I've been using random objects but not herbs.

Thank you!

No, objectX when used in upgrading inverts the effects of all the following items. Upgrading with mixed herbs gives -10% res, so using objectX before you get +10.
