Other colours represent the various elemental powers. A number displayed in Green represents positive energy recovery and Red represents negative energy recovery. This actually is NOT the Friendship value but is the Energy Value of the Item. In Rune Factory 3, a small number will be displayed when any Item is given as a Gift. There is no time limit in Rune Factory, however, so if you do not receive many Gifts in the first year, you should be able to make the second Birthday more profitable in terms of the Items you receive!Įvery Item when given as a Gift has a Friendship value represented by points, often known as FP or Friendship Points. The fourth tab is the Relationship page.īirthday Gifts tend to be rare or valuable Items in Rune Factory 3, so it definitely is worth the effort to try to raise the FP of every Character to 7 Hearts before your Birthday occurs if you can. (This actually is the usual FP requirement where Birthday Gifts are concerned in other HM/RF games.) You can find your current Friendship Level with all Characters on the Characters page in your Farm Menu, accessed when you press Start. In Rune Factory 3, all Characters should wish you a Happy Birthday on the day but it is only when you have attained 7 Hearts with any Individual that you will receive a Birthday Gift from him/her. If your Character is at Level 99 at the end of the first Spring but has neglected ordinary Social Interactions, he may be unable to move forward in terms of the Plot even if he is powerful enough to deal with any Boss Monsters he might have encountered.Īs in many Harvest Moon and Rune Factory games, your Character's Birthday will be acknowledged by other Characters.

Many options related to the Dungeons are unlocked by interactions with other Characters. Make certain that you do not neglect Social Interactions in favour of exploring Dungeons.

You therefore should be able to discover every Character's Birthday in the first few Seasons if not sooner. When the current day is some one's Birthday, other Characters often will share the information with you as well as suggesting Gifts that would be favoured over others. A Birthday will not be added to the Calendar on your wall until the Character has told you the date. Its virtue lies in the fact that it is inexpensive, plentiful and any Gift when offered to a Character will elicit useful information as to the Gifts the Individual really loves.īirthdays are an important Gift-Giving Occasion. It has a small positive Energy Value and no Character truly detests it. You may notice that Medicinal Herb was used as a 'test' Gift in many cases to establish a Character's Favourite Gifts. Inexpensive Items such as coloured Grasses can be given as 'test' Gifts as the recipient will tell you what he/she would prefer to receive. In Rune Factory 3, ANY Gift will elicit useful information in terms of the likes and dislikes of the recipient. If possible, give every one a Gift as well. As you can marry in Rune Factory 3, your success in Courtship will be based on the same principles as advancing your Friendship with the Characters who are not eligible for Marriage.Īs in any Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game, Meeting and Greeting every one daily is the best way to make certain that you will not miss anything. Your Friendship Level with other Individuals is the key to unlock new options in the form of Requests and vital information. Social Interactions are very important in Rune Factory 3. The actual Text of the Requests is included in this Characters Guide. It gives the basic details of each Request without giving the actual Text. The RF3 Requests Guide is a Quick Reference Guide.

My new Rune Factory 3 site can be found at:Īs of 15 November, I have created this Walkthrough/General Guide, a Cookbook Recipes Guide, an Items Guide, a Characters Guide, a Requests Guide and a Bestiary and Dungeons Guide. Note on 2 February: I hope to make a Courtship and Marriage Guide with the Date Events and other Courtship information available next week.
