Newbie’s Suggestions
End Chapter 4 ASAP
The primary few chapters may appear surprisingly boring, and you may in all probability end up questioning why this comparatively regular farming recreation has the phrase “fae” within the title in any respect. This shall be made clearer when you end the primary 4 chapters, which open up the world way more than earlier than.
It is a bit of a ache, however which means you may have to achieve the underside of the Saltwater Mines as shortly as potential. Make that your essential objective for some time, even at the price of investing in crops and animals, and you will find the sport will get way more attention-grabbing, with magical powers, a brand new bounce skill, a brand new world to discover, and extra characters unlocked, too!
Earning money
Whereas we do not have a information to earning profits simply but, we may give you a number of easy suggestions. The true dosh is not in crops, meals, animals, or crafts — it is within the mines. Particularly, it is within the gems within the mines, which you’ll polish utilizing the Gem Polisher workbench to web a pleasant revenue. Stage up your pickaxe and your mining abilities, or complement it with meals that will increase mining ability, and every gem node will drop much more gems, racking up a tidy revenue. Gems which are additional down within the mines, or in tougher mines that unlock via the story, are value much more.
Transport Contracts are a great way to make extra revenue off your objects… that’s, in the event that they work. We might solely get them to work about half the time. However the revenue margin on the objects that the Transport Contracts ask for is larger than simply promoting them usually, and saves you area available in the market, too. You may unlock the Transport Contracts after ending the Saltwater Mines, and they are often discovered simply south-west of city.
As a result of your promote slots are restricted, you typically wish to promote stuff that prices rather a lot individually. Within the early recreation, eggs, wool, and critter drops aren’t too dangerous, nevertheless it actually will profit you to unlock the Floating Ruins ASAP (by ending Chapter 4), or on the very least, having a straightforward warp right down to the decrease ranges of Saltwater Mines. And on that notice…
Put money into quick journey
Fae Farm’s quick journey system requires seals, which might be crafted on the Seal Crafting Station. Every seal will take a number of bits of ore and some gems, that are discovered within the mines, often at concerning the depth that begins to get arduous in your present stage.
The Wayshrines are straightforward sufficient to unlock with one-off seals, however the mines themselves characteristic a fast-travel system between flooring that assist you to skip to the place you had been earlier than. These seals are tougher to craft, and you may have to know precisely what number of you want of every form earlier than heading into the mine, lest you find yourself seal-less. The Saltwater Mines are likely to require 6 of every seal, however later mines are completely different, so control what every ground requires!
And belief us: these seals are value investing in earlier than the rest that requires ore and gems. Quick journey will prevent a hell of a headache, particularly as a result of the fast-travel menu tells you the chance of encountering a given materials on every ground.
Use that map
You’ll be able to open your map and choose any NPC to get a tracker arrow that can lead you on to them. From the map, you too can see if they’ve a quest for you — though most of those shall be friendship and romance quests, or job quests. Important quests and competition quests seem as a diamond with an exclamation mark inside, so investigate cross-check these as quickly as you see them!
Take advantage of your time
The time in Fae Farm is fairly beneficiant — we might estimate a day takes about 20-Half-hour — however for those who’re not cautious, you possibly can find yourself losing a ton of that point in menus. The clock will solely pause some of the time, and you have to control it to ensure you know when these occasions are.
For instance, opening the primary menu pauses the clock, however your stock does not. In actual fact, you’ll be able to nonetheless be hit by enemies together with your stock open, so if you have to take potions or eat meals, ensure you’re out of vary first. Speaking to individuals and purchasing pauses the menu, however going into buildings and promoting objects on the market does not. Utilizing crafting tables additionally does not pause the menu, and neither does constructing in your farm, adorning your home, or having the decor menus open.
A trick we discovered within the later recreation was crafting Zoom Potions, which allow you to transfer round quicker, and we suggest utilizing the primary menu to pause at any time when you have to.
Sorting storage woes
Why cannot video games get storage programs proper? We simply desire a bottomless cabinet, accessible always, with sensible sorting, player-friendly UI, and free tea and biscuits on request. Is that so arduous?
Fae Farm’s storage system doesn’t have all these issues, nevertheless it’s nonetheless fairly darn good — you simply must know the best way to use it. Your greatest buddies by way of the storage UI are going to be these three issues:
1. Sorting
Determine the ZL and ZR menus within the storage interface and you will be properly in your solution to at all times discovering the thing you want in your gigantic pile of stuff.
ZR types by both sort, or alphabetically — helpful in some conditions, however often not an enormous assist if you do not know the identify of one thing, or cannot bear in mind your ABCs with out singing the little tune. ZL, then again, lets you filter by class. These embrace issues like farming (seeds, crops, and fertilizer); alchemy (potions & components); foraging (something you picked up off the bottom); and refined items (ingots, fabric, however NOT lumber — that is in uncooked supplies as an alternative).
Sadly, you’ll be able to’t kind your stock. If it bothers you that your objects are in all places, you’ll be able to drop them and decide them up once more, which can put them again within the high slots, or choose particular person objects and select “transfer” to place them someplace tidier.
2. Storing
Press RB to retailer every little thing in your stock that already has not less than one counterpart in your storage. This makes it tremendous straightforward to drop off every little thing from mines, fishing, or normal adventures in a single go. You need to use LB to retailer particular person stacks as properly.
3. Shortcuts
You do not have to enter the menu to entry your stock — simply press up on the D-pad to open your pockets instantly. Easy!
Breed, child, breed!
Breeding in Fae Farm is straightforward, however time-consuming. Purchase an animal at one of many farms west of city, register it at residence, after which carry it again to the identical farm to get it bred.
Why? As a result of an animal bred from your individual animals could have a bigger happiness meter, permitting you to achieve larger heights by caring for it. Which… we expect… makes them drop extra assets. However it may not. The animal elevating side of the sport is somewhat complicated.
Take note of the seasons
There are 4 seasons in Fae Farm — spring, summer time, autumn, winter — and each brings with it new critters, new fish, new forageables, and new crops. The sport does not do a implausible job of telling you this, so we’re telling you this now.
For instance, every season has its personal wild greens. Spring has arugula, summer time has dandelion, autumn has pink chard, and winter, collard greens. These greens are all mainly the identical in relation to cooking, however they seem in a different way, and you may want to choose all of them to fill out your almanac, if that is essential to you.
The mushrooms and nuts that seem within the Spooky Forest are the identical, in addition to the shellfish within the Saltwater Mines, the berries on bushes, and the forageables within the fae and winter areas later within the recreation. Be certain to verify again to unlock all of them within the almanac!
