Farming in Guardians of Azuma

​It is not by growing  Crops of higher levels that you can buy higher level seeds but by shipping the actual high level crop.  I do believe it is a good idea to ship all lower level seeds as it makes it impossible for villagers to plant those.


Furthermore, it is a good idea to ship all items of lower levels as when you cook, the game will take the lowest level ingredient.  This can be very annoying and counterproductive when you participate in a Contest.


When you use the Sacred Sword to harvest a crops, you will receive seeds of the next level but no actual Crops.


Farming Skills: 


Soil Specialist: Farming +20%

Seed Savant: small chance of receiving seeds from the next level as well as increasing number of seeds from any crop harvest

Crop Whisperer:  raises level of harvested crop randomly


Giant Crops:  Random always.  If instead of harvesting, you leave a mature Crop in the ground and continue to water it each day, you increase the chance that it will become a Giant Crop


You can see what the qualities of each Villager are by highlighting the Villager and then Qualities.


I made a lot of mistakes in my first game but it makes no difference in the end frankly.  Woolby will be upset with you if you do not have at least one villager assigned to every task in any Village but once you have Level 9 Crop seeds and Level 9 Flower Seeds, you probably will have ascended to Godhood and have enough Barns and Monsters to generate constant income that you no longer really need.  Many players then restrict farming to a single development zone in only one Village.  I use Autumn for Barns and I use one zone is Spring and one in Summer for pilgrimage sites.  Winter zones are small.  It is sufficient for me to grow crops now in one or two of the Spring dev zones.


Seeds for Crops are sold at the General Stores and the specific seed types differ for each General Store when placed in all four villages.  Flower seeds are sold at a stall and every single village if it has a Flower Stall will offer the same seeds and Flowers.  This if you need hibiscus to craft a decoration, you can buy a total of 12 in one day by going to four stalls.


Watarase sells some Crop Seeds oddly enough.  If you need Golden Seeds, you can buy them randomly from the wandering traders.  You find a golden Crops once at various locations both in Azuma and Isjands in the Sky.

Traditional Japanese Festivals

​The creators of Guardians of Azuma expressed a wish to invest the game with as many of the traditions of Japan as possible. Japan of course has diverse spiritual as well as mundane cultures and each has had its own special influence through the centuries but the Japanese managed to create a very unique synthesis finally between some of its native religions and beliefs rather than continuing to perceive other belief systems as a hostile or corrupting threat.   I am not an expert in Shinto beliefs but I studied and taught comparative religion and legends and to me, Guardians of Azuma enshrines Shintoism far more than any other belief system.  Although Buddhism has played a large part in shaping the culture and aesthetics of religious art and rituals, the animism that is so much a part of  Shinto beliefs is very apparent the world of Guardians of Azuma.  Thus, the reverence shown to Ulalaka’s sacred cherry tree that is displayed at the very beginning of this game and t...

Starting a New Game, Post 1, Restoring the Spring Village

Image
Comprehensive Guide by Freyashawk: This is the first in a series of posts that will constitute a detailed Walkthrough.   Restoring the Spring Village: (Above, note the little bubble the Monster holds or has with him.  This denotes a villager who has been transformed into a Momster.  There will be a number of these in the four seasonal villages.  Some are Chemists and others Carpenters.  When defeated, they will come to one of the Villages as humans again. I started a new game to minimise errors and maximise options as well as being able to write a guide.  What I have decided is that 'make haste to repent at leisure' does apply to some extent.  Your abilities do increase with use.  I now believe even physical acts such as jumping may increase with better stats.  I will try to test this when I return to more difficult dungeons. I 'beat the game' fairly early but had much frustration with Blight and puzzles.  I doubt there is any 'fix' wher...
