Rune Factory 5, befitting its history as a Harvest Moon spinoff, is primarily a game about cultivation. Not just cultivating fields, but cultivating relationships, community, strength, and wealth.
Fittingly enough, Rune Factory 5 has multiple crafting systems. Whether it's to make invincible armor or an incredible meal, Rune Factory 5 players will spend plenty of time gathering ingredients and refining them into better and better items.
One of the available crafting systems is chemistry, which is primarily for potions and medicine. While these will be primarily during dungeon crawling, a few of Rune Factory 5's townsfolk might appreciate one of the player's concoctions as a gift.
Earning a Chemistry License
Just like with Rune Factory 5's forging and crafting systems, players need to earn a chemistry license before they can start freely brewing. Before they can apply, they need to complete the "First Directive" quest and receive a tutorial on directives from Eliza in the Silo.
After completing that, the player just needs to ask about licenses and choose the chemistry exam. It costs 100 seed points to take, and features two simple questions:
- "What kind of ingredients do you usually use to make medicine?"
- Plants, flowers, and so on.
- Anything, really.
- Swords, shields, whatever.
- "Where can you buy medicine?
- Flowerstruck
- The Silo.
- The Clinic.
After passing the exam, the player then just needs to buy a chemistry set from Studio Palmo. It costs 1000g, 30 lumber, and 30 material stones.
