Anything special to do with Starfall crops?

[Honorable_D]

I've grown a Starfall pumpkin to sell for shipping completion purposes...but what else is there to do with these things besides make special cooking dishes?

I've also sold a level 10 seed...though I wonder if I've wasted that since I don't know if you can eventually buy them.

Also, what about the super long growing Crystal Flower seeds? I've found a spot in a dungeon that has a good chance of finding them and I have 3 different colors...but not sure if I should try to grow them yet.

The starfall crops can be thrown into a pond somewhere near the ruins. You'll get a seasonal headband for it.
As for the crystal flowers, yes absolutely grow them. You'll later get a quest to harvest them which will make them then available in the flower shop. Regular crystal flowers and giant crystal flowers are used in high level chemistry recipes so you definitely want them. Also high level giant crystal flowers will usually win you the harvest festivals.

Usually win you? Are the Harvest Festivals that damn hard to win? Geez.

Festivals get harder each year. The first year I could win with a level 10 starfall crop, but not the second year.

Oof.

Do you know what buddy smithing does besides turn the crafted item's name blue?

If you want to reach 100% completion for the shipping bin you'll need 4 of each:
One to sell, one to cook. Two turned into seasonal headdresses. Combine the 4 headdresses into Four Seasons Headress and sell that one too.

Blue name means that an item has inherited another. That's exactly what buddy smithing does by the look of it: The items you craft get a random effect inherited. Nice early on I imagine but not something you'll want to do for late game gear.

What pond? The one with the two benches in the east? Do you have to do anything special or just toss it in?

[Huillam]

Just toss the crop. If you're tossing two, you probably want to split them first.

I wonder how you were ever suppose to figure that out lol, was it hinted at anywhere in the game?

No but to those who played RF4 will know theres some vague way to get seasonal headbands because the recipe exists I'm guessing you can just toss some rando crop and the faeries will say in the same vein they want something else for the best part you arent limited 1 per day as long as you have a starfall crop to yeet you can get as much headbands you want unlike RF4 where 1 of the ponds is only accessible for X day of the season and they can only give you 1 headband a day

yep tossing a rando crop for X season will make that faerie say it wants X crop

If the item name is blue that means that depending on the amount of items was used to craft it has inherited at least 1 of them. This typically happens if the recipe has 3 or more items sometimes you get lucky and only have a basic outcome

What it really does is depending on who is crafting with you will place added stat bonus to that weapon who adds what is what we havent figured out yet since its hard to get it to work as save scumming also randomizes the villager crafting with you and or have none at all

This is just my brief experience but Reinhard adds STR stat my tripple brilliant scale long sword has a base str stat of 900 just became 1148 upon finish crafting
