Runeys

This game is great, but the Runeys ruin it for me. When i got into Summer of year 1, my crops started growing twice as slow. I didn't know what was happening, but i thought I was in some kind of new difficulty level in the game. At the end of the season, I found out that the Runeys were dying, which explained why my crops were growing slow. I don't like how the game doesn't even notify you if the Runeys are dying or not. By winter of year 1, 3/4 of the Runeys in my town died. I tried creating new ones, but it wasn't enough for my town, so basically the game was over for me.

I really hate Runeys. Don't you agree?
Also, is there some kind of faster strategy to create more Runeys?

Yep, runeys are the achilles heel of this game. Fortunately I never had problems with them because I was prepared. I was absolutely hyped about the game and read tons of impressions from the japanese version, so I knew they could cause massive problems when neglected.

Once I got the knack about prosperity and runey ranching, the only problem was taking care of them once a week...instead, a pain in the behind thanks to the less than precise mechanic of taking runeys from the eviroment. In all my posts abouyt Rune Factory Frontier I always give the advice: "If you get the game, swallow your pride and read a runey guide on the web, you are going to need it."

Yeah, I had to start a new game file because all of my Runeys died.

Sigh. All that hard work for nothing.
