rune factory is a great game.
tip to make it WAY easier WITHOUT cheating
1 get all areas in prosperity (except homestead), as for homestead... make it pure grass runeys
2 Devote 1 dungeon area (I use whale Island) to growing only grass (but dont harvest it), this will cause a steady stream of grass runeys in homestead to power your other areas (since they need to keep haveing grass runey food above 45)
3 The areas that maintain prosperity will produce a steady stream of all other runeys, just just take out enough to get it back down to 45. Daily runey income! They also speed up plant growth
4 with the runeys you collect, its easy to constantly get "rainy week" so you almost never have to water your crops, and "Tree Day" so you can get constant wood, or rune stones, ect.
5 after that you just need a team of animal companions to do the farmwork.
I use
Goblin 3 (for picking up crops)
Slime 2 (for clearing rocks rocks)
Ghost 3 (for mowing the fodder field)
Ignus 1 (for gathering wood)
Just remember to replace the grass runeys in each area everyday
