Field Notes, Answered
How do I make money fast in Year 1?
Plant multi-harvest regrowth crops — Spring Strawberries, Summer Blueberries, Fall Cranberries — and run them through the Seed Maker to double your packet count. Duplicate gems and foraged mushrooms from the Mines round out the early wallet. Full season-by-season numbers: Best Crops money guide.
How do the Mine Tablet Seals work on Floors 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100?
Every twenty floors is gated by an elemental altar: Water (F20), Earth (F40), Fire (F60), Void (F80). Floor 90 opens the Dragon Forge; Floor 100 is the final chamber. The whole mine only opens at Town Rank Stone (level 10) — see the Town Rank & Renown guide.
Who can I romance? Can I marry Caldarus?
Twelve candidates: Adeline, Balor, Celine, Eiland, Hayden, Juniper, March, Reina, Ryis, Valen, Seridia and Caldarus, the Dragon God. Loved gifts on a birthday pay out an 8x friendship multiplier.
Do food speed and stamina buffs stack?
Stamina restores the moment you eat. Speed buffs do not stack — a new dish refreshes the timer and the higher tier wins out over the lower one.
