With combat being such a large part of Rune Factory 4, keeping your equipment updated is a very important aspect of the game. Upgrading your weapons is important for dealing damage to enemies, but doing the same for your armor is just as vital to staying alive.

To do this, you’ll need a Crafting Table. With one of these, you can craft all manner of shields, armor pieces, and accessories that you can wear, ship for profit, or even gift to residents.

Crafting Basics

In order to craft you will need a Crafting Table. You will be able to purchase this from Bado once you have unlocked the path that leads to the boss of the Water Ruins in exchange for some Gold, some lumber, and some material stone.

When you interact with the Crafting Table you will be prompted to choose a type of equipment that you want to make or whether you want to upgrade some armor that you already have.

When crafting something, you can either use recipes learned by eating Recipe Bread (which is primarily purchased at Porcoline’s or attained from festivals) or you can guess at a recipe using your items or consult a guide such as this one. When guessing at a recipe, however, it will cost a lot more Rune Points (RP) to make.

Regardless of your method, if a recipe’s level is higher than your crafting skill level, there is a chance that the recipe may fail. The higher the recipe’s level is than your skill level, the higher the chance that it will fail. Higher-level recipes will also cost a lot more RP to attempt.

In our recipe tables below, some of the ingredients are in italics. This means that the recipe calls for any item of a particular classification. Ingredients not in italics, however, are specific to that recipe.

For example:

Crafting a pair of Leather Boots requires that you use any item of the Furs category. Any of them will do, from a simple Fur to valuable Lightning Mane.
Crafting a pair of Spectacles requires two Aquamarines. They cannot be substituted for any other gemstones.

Armor Upgrades

It is possible to use your items to make your armor better. You can upgrade anything that you build at the Crafting Table, not just body armor.

Armor can be upgraded a total of 10 times, with the effects of the upgrade being dependent on the item you use. For example, a piece of Bronze will add four to the armor’s Defense bonus. You will be penalized if you try to upgrade an item with more of the same material – the effect will be reduced severely.

As a result, the best strategy for upgrading is to use a wide range of items to keep all of their bonuses potent.

Upgrading armor follows the same rule as crafting it. All items have a difficulty level and if this is higher than your crafting skill level the upgrade may fail, wasting the materials. Higher-level recipes will also cost more RP to attempt.
