The size of the egg -and- the level of quality both directly have an impact on the end-price of the dish or weapon or medicine, etc. For instance, any recipe that calls for an egg will accept any size of egg, which helps because if you take care of your Chicken monsters, they will eventually lay Medium and even Large eggs which, naturally, sell for more and more at base, not even counting the level of quality because the more affection you have with a monster, the better quality the item itself. However, in RF4, the quality of your items really friggin' matters and it affects the price in a -huge- way. Since I never bothered with it since it was never a necessity really.

Quality levels of crops are nothing new to the series or even to Harvest Moon proper, but the thing is, they didn't generally affect too much beyond the price of the crop itself, and I was never sure just how much. This is where the additions of Rune Factory 4 specifically come into play and make things a lot more tantalizing. To counter-balance this, a lot of lower-tier items don't have a very high retail price which means you can't craft 15 Claymores and be rolling in bank.in theory. What this means is that profit margins are generally huge. The only investments you generally make (beyond the crafting pieces themselves which are a small investment all-told) are the costs of seeds to grow crops for cooking recipes, or flower seeds for pharmacy recipes and those are minimal.

One of the biggest boons of Rune Factory 4's crafting system is that almost everything can be procured for free in some fashion - some items are drops, whereas others are mined objects or fish, or things of that ilk.
(Since you can just throw things together without a recipe) It takes a -little- extra RP depending on your skill level, but what you can and what you cannot craft are fairly easily gauged. Recipes are obtained (again, as per the video) by Recipe Bread or you can just be a jerk and look up the recipes and use them instead. Then you take it home (or, honestly, wherever the hell you want) and muck about with it so you get items.
#RUNE FACTORY 4 MONSTER BARN LICENSE#
You purchase a License for whatever you're attempting to get (Cooking License, Advanced Cooking License, Chemistry, etc.) which gives you a little mini-quiz (where the point is to teach you things by making you guess) and then blam, you can buy the piece of equipment so long as you have the materials. The video above so helpfully describes the method you need to actually get to a point where you -can- craft in Rune Factory 4 and it is just as simple as the video makes it seem. In fact, for my purposes (see: breaking the economy in the name of Capitalism) it does very well, especially with some of the improvements to the system 4 added, so I thought it best to do what I do really well. As we all know by now, I have a fair fondness for crafting systems in games and Rune Factory 4's is by no means no exception. One way of doing that that helps, as always, is by pushing my sleeves up and rooting around inside the mechanics of certain things. Or rather, I already started one, but my words just came out sort of over-the-top kissing the game's ass, so I decided to step back until I could reasonably ground myself. As I near my natural conclusion with Rune Factory 4 (by which I mean a point where I can comfortably pick up and start Hometown Story) I started looking back on some of the stuff in the game, new stuff, returning stuff because I am honestly thinking of doing a review on it.
