How to earn SEED Points fast in Rune Factory 5

SEED Points are practically currency in Rune Factory 5. You need them to host festivals, expand your storage, and purchase renovations at Studio Palmer. Whenever you talk to Eliza or Palmo, you might often find yourself short of SEED Points to purchase anything.

It’s frustrating, but like any currency, it’s possible to grind it. Here’s how.

Complete requests

If you see a request on the SEED request board or the Detective Agency, complete it. It will reward you 100 SEED points.

Sometimes, if you talk to people of Rigbath with an open request slot open, they can give you requests as well! As such, make sure to never have more than three active bulletin board requests at a time. In fact, only take up a bulletin board request if you’re absolutely sure you can fulfill it within the day.

Bulletin board requests never disappear. It’s alright to leave them alone. Even if you cancel your current request, they will just go back to the board.

Subjugate monsters

Capturing monsters is, by far, the best way to earn a ton of SEED points quickly. Talk to Livia and capture Wanted Monsters. Just be careful! Many of them may be at a higher level than you.

By the way, you also earn SEED points for every monster you defeat (more if it’s a boss monster). If you have nothing else better to do until 1am in-game, we highly recommended monster hunting.

Win contests

Winning festival contests, especially first place, will earn you as many SEED points as a Wanted Monster capture. You need SEED points to host them, of course—but if you're hosting them, might as well win, right? Plus, you get more (and better) rewards than that, so it’s all worth it. For example, it’s possible to get a ton of Recipe Bread, rare weapons, rare armor, and high-level food.

Other ways to earn SEED points

1. You can also earn SEED points from shipping items. It’s capped at 125 SEED points per day, however, so you can't use the method to grind limitlessly. But it is a reminder to always make sure that there’s something in your shipping bin.
2. Clearing character sub-scenarios earns you 30 SEED points. But since they run at a specific timeframe, they can’t be used to grind for them.
