Beginner’s Tips
Finish Chapter 4 ASAP
The first few chapters might sound surprisingly boring, and you may most likely end up questioning why this comparatively regular farming recreation has the phrase “fae” within the title in any respect. This can be made clearer when you end the primary 4 chapters, which open up the world rather more than earlier than.
It’s a little bit of a ache, however meaning you may have to achieve the underside of the Saltwater Mines as rapidly as potential. Make that your foremost aim for some time, even at the price of investing in crops and animals, and you will find the sport will get rather more fascinating, with magical powers, a brand new leap capacity, a brand new world to discover, and extra characters unlocked, too!
Making cash
While we do not have a information to earning profits simply but, we can provide you a couple of easy ideas. The actual dosh is not in crops, meals, animals, or crafts — it is within the mines. Specifically, it is within the gems within the mines, which you’ll polish utilizing the Gem Polisher workbench to web a pleasant revenue. Level up your pickaxe and your mining expertise, or complement it with meals that will increase mining talent, and every gem node will drop much more gems, racking up a tidy revenue. Gems which might be additional down within the mines, or in more durable mines that unlock by means of the story, are value much more.
Shipping Contracts are a great way to make extra revenue off your objects… that’s, in the event that they work. We may solely get them to work about half the time. But the revenue margin on the objects that the Shipping Contracts ask for is larger than simply promoting them usually, and saves you house available in the market, too. You’ll unlock the Shipping Contracts after ending the Saltwater Mines, and they are often discovered simply south-west of city.
Because your promote slots are restricted, you usually need to promote stuff that prices loads individually. In the early recreation, eggs, wool, and critter drops usually are not 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 all the way down to the decrease ranges of Saltwater Mines. And on that notice…
Invest in quick journey
Fae Farm’s quick journey system requires seals, which may be crafted on the Seal Crafting Station. Each seal will take a couple of bits of ore and some gems, that are discovered within the mines, often at concerning the depth that begins to get laborious to 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 have been earlier than. These seals are more durable to craft, and you may have to know precisely what number of you want of every type 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 totally different, so control what every ground requires!
And belief us: these seals are value investing in earlier than anything that requires ore and gems. Fast journey will prevent a hell of a headache, particularly as a result of the fast-travel menu tells you the probability of encountering a given materials on every ground.
Use that map
You can open your map and choose any NPC to get a tracker arrow that may lead you on to them. From the map, you may also see if they’ve a quest for you — though most of those can be friendship and romance quests, or job quests. Main quests and pageant quests seem as a diamond with an exclamation mark inside, so check out these as quickly as you see them!
Make essentially the most 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 can find yourself losing a ton of that point in menus. The clock will solely pause some of the time, and it is advisable control it to be sure to know when these instances are.
For instance, opening the principle menu pauses the clock, however your stock would not. In truth, you may nonetheless be hit by enemies along with your stock open, so if it is advisable take potions or eat meals, be sure to’re out of vary first. Talking to folks and purchasing pauses the menu, however going into buildings and promoting objects on the market would not. Using crafting tables additionally would 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 sooner, and we suggest utilizing the principle menu to pause each time it is advisable.
Sorting storage woes
Why cannot video games get storage methods proper? We simply need a bottomless cabinet, accessible always, with sensible sorting, player-friendly UI, and free tea and biscuits on request. Is that so laborious?
Fae Farm’s storage system doesn’t have all these issues, nevertheless it’s nonetheless fairly darn good — you simply should know the right way to use it. Your greatest pals when it comes to the storage UI are going to be these three issues:
1. Sorting
Figure out the ZL and ZR menus within the storage interface and you will be nicely in your technique to all the time discovering the thing you want in your gigantic pile of stuff.
ZR kinds by both sort, or alphabetically — helpful in some conditions, however often not a large assist if you do not know the identify of one thing, or cannot keep in mind your ABCs with out singing the little track. ZL, alternatively, permits you to filter by class. These embrace issues like farming (seeds, crops, and fertilizer); alchemy (potions & elements); foraging (something you picked up off the bottom); and refined items (ingots, material, however NOT lumber — that is in uncooked supplies as an alternative).
Unfortunately, you may’t kind your stock. If it bothers you that your objects are far and wide, you may drop them and decide them up once more, which is able to put them again within the prime slots, or choose particular person objects and select “transfer” to place them someplace tidier.
2. Storing
Press RB to retailer the whole lot in your stock that already has not less than one counterpart in your storage. This makes it tremendous straightforward to drop off the whole lot from mines, fishing, or normal adventures in a single go. You can use LB to retailer particular person stacks as nicely.
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. Simple!
Breed, child, breed!
Breeding in Fae Farm is easy, however time-consuming. Buy 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? Because an animal bred from your personal animals may have a bigger happiness meter, permitting you to achieve larger heights by caring for it. Which… we expect… makes them drop extra assets. But it won’t. The animal elevating side of the sport is just a little complicated.
Pay consideration to 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 recreation would not do a unbelievable 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 on the subject of cooking, however they seem in another 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. Make positive to verify again to unlock all of them within the almanac!
