Thanks Angelic

I want to know the zodiac signs and symbols of all 6 of the RF4 bachelors.

How do I add an element or added effect to weapons or armor?

Pretty sure they don't have any.

And for that you need a forge and/or crafting station depending on what you're upgrading, as well as element crystals for the upgrade, which you can get as random drops from gates or monsters.

I'm trying to complete my shipping list, and I'm stuck at 99% in the Other category. I swear I have shipped every single item listed in both of these topics...

Are they missing something? I read somewhere that the Misc category has 247 items. If I've counted correctly, the two topics combined listed 246, and I also have 246 in my shipping list. *tears hair out*

It'd be REALLY helpful if someone with 100% Other could just list the entire thing the way it's displayed in the shipping list, instead of it being broken into two separate threads like that...

EDIT: Never mind, I think I found what I'm missing after checking and rechecking 493485 different ways. Geez, I'm blind...

Hi

I would like to know (not sure if it's been asked and answered)
But what are those giant spiked rocks that are in Yokmir cave and Delirium Lava Ruins?
Can I break them or are they just nothing?

Has anyone figured out how to get Love Crystals, yet? I'm at Rune Prana 5 and there are recipes 20 levels below my current skill that ask for Love Crystals. I really want to make a heart necklace!

Send help :D
Dungeons chest or break Love Gates ir are they call affection gates can't recall.
Affection Gates. They usually appear in the first room of Rune Prana 1, but love crystal drop rates are said to be very rare. I got them in RF3 all the time but haven't gotten one ONCE in RF4.

A great way I found out about is going south from obsidian mansion where there are regular fairies in a field. The gate is always a love gate here. It probably took me 5 to 8 game hours but one dropped. Ship it then raven will sell it. She has it pretty often.

I am certain this has been asked and answered, so pardon me, but I am trying to tame the water dungeon boss for the request, and I like him, but food just seems to heal him, same with the Giant Wooly I want, is there a trick or does he need more barn slots or what? I just want that Pony lol
I looked through about 20 pages and didn't see an answer, but again forgive the probable repeat.

From what I've read, you need a Giant Carrot to tame him.

You mean Thunderbolt? You need Royal Carrots (giant carrots) to tame him. Boss monsters require specific items in order to be tamed. Make sure you have 3 or more Royal Carrots so you have better chance.

King Wooly (giant wooly) can't be tamed, sorry.

I didn't even know you can tame them! Is there a list somewhere that says what bosses need specific items to be tamed?

Does the food just heal him, or is he actually rejecting it? If it's rejection, then you either have bad luck or the wrong item. If he isn't reacting to gifts at all beyond recovering HP, then you need to clear up some space in your barn. Bosses only take one barn slot each, but if a monster completely ignores gifts like that then you have no space to store it.

Sure is. Here you go.

I've been collecting RF monsters a la Pokemon for a while. My barns right now are filled with various tameable monsters I've encountered. Taming boss monsters is my most favorite feature in RF4 xD

Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find a direct answer. I'm kinda confused right now because I've been running with amber for a while and so far she's doing very little damage despite her wielding a hammer as I read up that it is one of her best weapons. I checked her stats and realised that she has high m.atk so I passed her a stave but she runs around whacking everything... So my questions are, is the only way to make use of her m.atk through water pots and is she even useful at all?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out

I've been trying to tame the monsters in Sharance Maze, though I always failed. I really wanted to clear Rune Prana, so is there any advice for me how to tame the monsters in Sharance Maze?

Yeah, me too! I really need help taming the monsters there, I don't know why I always failed. I've tried to tame level 200+ monsters and most of them didn't react to my gifts. I really need strong monsters to clear Rune Prana...
