"Weapons and tools have a kind of magic called "Retornen"! It's a kind of magic that sends monsters back to their original place. Monsters are a kind of spirit they originally came from a different world that ours. It looked like it's soul went to heaven, but in fact it returned to it's real homeland, the "First Forest"!"
―Mist, Rune Factory

The tools used in Rune Factory are capable of performing functions both beneficial to the farm and to the safety of others. Possessing a magic called Retornen, tools can send monsters back from where they originated.

Overview[]

Earthmates are supposed to be able to summon monsters. They are people who can hear the earth's voice. Some of them can communicate with the monsters. Mix seeds with Greenifier and they'll become even better seeds. Grow a vegetable with a better seed and put it in the Seed Maker and out will come an even better seed.

Once the tools are upgraded, the upgraded tool (with the exception of the sleeping bags) can be used by holding down the 'B' button. The tool should charge. You should be able to tell what level the tool is charged to by watching a little glowing sphere. As you charge the tool, the sphere grows. Below is a list of what the sphere looks like at different levels.

  • Level 1- nothing special happens
  • Level 2- small glowing white orb
  • Level 3- large glowing orb
  • Level 4- large glowing orb with a circle orbiting it
  • Level 5- large glowing orb with two rings orbiting it
