How to win the Fall Harvest Festival in Rune Factory 5

The Fall Harvest Festival is one of four Harvest Festivals that are celebrated every year. It’s hosted on the 28th of Fall. During the Fall Harvest Festival, you can offer your best Fall-grown crop and have the opportunity to get Cooking Breads, SEED points, and other rewards.

It’s also one of the most easily won contests in Rune Factory 5; you just need to prepare your crop ahead of time.

How to win the Fall Harvest Festival

If you want to win the Fall Harvest Festival, remember three things:

1. Present a seasonal Fall crop. That gets it more points.
   • Fall crops include: Turnips, Spinaches, Radishes, Strawberries, Yams, Carrots, Leeks, Cabbages, and Onions.
   • Fall crop seeds can be bought from the general store or picked up from Treasure Chests in Phoros Woodlands or Gadeus Grasslands.
2. The longer a crop needs to grow, the higher its points will be.
3. Produce a high-level crop. On year one, it’s winnable with a level four to five seasonal vegetable.
   • To harvest high-level crops, use your sickle on a ready-to-harvest vegetable. This will let you gather a seed that's of a higher level than the crop you removed, depending on your soil’s level. The higher your soil’s level, the higher your sickled seed level will be.
   • Greenifiers can improve soil quality.

After this comes the appeal phase. However, know that while there are correct responses that will earn you extra points, the quality of your crop is way more important.
