Messhina Valley is one of the four seasonal dungeons within Rune Factory 2. It is themed around Fall, and is ranked 2 out of 7 stars in difficulty by the game.

==Sub-Areas==

==In Generation 2==

Messhina Valley is now rated 6 out of 7 stars in difficulty,new monsters can be found within the dungeon, and the stats of previously seen monsters are significantly increased from their generation 1 counterparts.

==Sub-Areas==

==Trivia==
* Messhina Valley is tied with Blessia Island for the least available farm tiles in generation 1, having 18 less total tiles than Trieste Forest and Padova Mountains.
* It is also the only seasonal dungeon in which the player is unable to access all the farm tiles from the start of the game, as 18 tiles are blocked by rocks that must be broken with a hammer.
* Despite the higher star ranking assigned by the game, its farmable tiles are arguably the safest of the four dungeons in generation 1. The first group of farm tiles are far enough from the monster spawner that the player can safely tend their crops, and the second group of farm tiles are accompanied by a spawner that exclusively produces monsters that are passive until attacked.

Festivals (Rune Factory 2)

2026-07-03T02:26:38Z

RupeeHeart: Minor note so I don't forget what happens during this festival.

[[Category:Rune_Factory_2]][[Category:Rune_Factory_Festivals]]

==A Few Notes On Festivals==
Pretty much any festival can be started afters 9:00 A.M Every festival Usually Ends at 5:30 P.M. Be sure to participate these festivals can award you prizes as well as the affection of the villagers and Love Interests

==Generation 1 [Playing as Kyle]==
This is who you are upon starting A new file of course you may have changed his Name.

===SPRING===
====New Year's Day====
* Spring 1: Nothing special happens today. Everyone in town simply talks about what their plan's are for the rest of the Year, or about this day in specific. No contests and no event. Talking to villagers on this day will raise FP/LP.

====Flower Festival====
* Spring 13: On this festival you have a chance to view the flowers in Cherry Blossom Square. The point of this festival is to ask a girl out on a date. The first three girls you ask out will accept. You must then meet the girl you asked out. She will be at Cherry Blossom Square. It is good for raising hearts for the girl you may be pursuing, or the girl who may have not been paying any attention to.

====Eating Contest====
* Spring 25: This contest is pretty fun. All you have to do is go to De Sainte Coquille Park after 9:00 am and talk to Herman. You shall see Gordon and Douglas here. They are your opponents in this contest! He will explain the rules. What you have to do is after he says "START!" you have to press the 'A' button as many time as possible. To win this contest you must press 'A' 35 times or more. Winning gets you an Item and it raises everyone's friendship points and all of the girl's love points.

===SUMMER===
====1st Day of Summer====
* Summer 1: Nothing really happens on this festival. Everyone just talks about how much they are looking forward to swimming. You can treat this as a normal day though, and talking to villagers will raise their FP/LP.

====Monster Taming Festival====
* Summer 7: I hope you have toughened up a bit and worked on your communication skill, because they will come in handy today! This festival can be started by talking to Herman. You shall see Max and Jake here. They are your opponents today. The rules are that you will be given a dungeon location and you must befriend the monster in that specific area and return as quickly as possible. IMPORTANT: You must have done Cecilia's first request as that is the only possible way you would have the tool necessary to do this festival: the pet glove.

====Fishing Contest====
* Summer 25: This point of this festival is to catch the biggest fish. Herman will tell you what kind of fish you need to catch. Normally, the sardine. Your opponents today will be Barrett and Dorothy. The sardine can be found at Blessia Island. To win, the fish must be at least 18 cm big.

===FALL===
====Adventure Contest====
* Fall 1: The player will be tasked with finding an item that has been concealed on Blessia Island, with the fastest contestant to return with the item being given the reward. The item in question is hidden on the screen before the shipwreck.

====Harvest Festival====
* Fall 13: No activity to participate in.

====Monster Contest====
* Fall 25: The player is tasked with bringing out a monster of sufficient strength to clear the competition. A Silver Wolf at max affinity will clear the goal, with 50 points. Reward is a Health It.

===WINTER===
====Shooting Star Festival====
* Winter 7: The player will be allowed to invite one eligible bachelorette to view the stars with them at Alvarna: Falling Star Path at 9:00 PM, gaining FP and LP with them. This invitation cannot be extended to the player's spouse, if they have one.

====Mining Contest====
* Winter 19: The player will be tasked with acquiring a Ruby from the mining deposits in the seasonal dungeons. Rivals are Yue and Roy, reward is affinity with the townsfolk and an Invinciroid.

====New Year's Eve====
* Winter 30: The minimap on the top screen doesn't consider this a holiday, despite it being marked on the calendar and the festival music being played accordingly. No event to participate in.

==Generation 2==
Coming Soon!

==Trivia==
* Festivals will force the weather to be sunny, which Alicia's weather predictions will not account for. She can predict the festival day to be rainy yet the weather will always be sunny, even if the player pays her to change the weather.

Pumpkin General Store (Rune Factory 2)

2026-07-02T19:55:40Z

RupeeHeart: Trying to figure out a notation that's clear about the regrowing crops. Not fully happy with the result yet.

OCCUPANTS=[[Douglas_(Rune_Factory_2)|Douglas]]</br>[[Mana_(Rune_Factory_2)|Mana]]
}}

'''Pumpkin General Store''' (雑貨) is a storefront located in Alvarna - East End. It is run by Douglas from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in generation 1, though its closing time changes to 3:00 PM in generation 2, and closes on all holidays. It is the primary method by which the player can acquire seeds for their farm, and serves as the residence of both Douglas and Mana.

==Inventory==

The following tables contain the items available for purchase from the General Store.

===Notes===
* The Crop Value is the sale price of a single, level 1 version of that crop. As a single seed bag will spread up to 9 seeds, the profit margin for most crops is higher than the number suggests.
* The Profit/Day is the sale price of a single, level 1 version of that crop divided by the number of days it takes to grow, and subtracting the cost to purchase the seeds. A higher number equates to a more profitable crop.
* Regrowing crops tend to have negative return value after only a single harvest, often requiring 2 or 3 harvests to see profit. For regrowing crops, the first number is the net loss if a single harvest was sold, and the second number is profit after the first harvest without seed price factored in.
* Grass is a unique crop in that its harvests cannot be directly sold, instead being converted to monster feed after the player constructs a barn. As such, its value is abstract compared to direct sale price.

Hints (Rune Factory 2)

2026-07-02T02:54:16Z

RupeeHeart: This page had like... nothing before, so I figured I'd add my own small tricks from playing the game as I go.

[[Category:Rune_Factory_2]]

The following is a collection of miscellaneous pieces of advice that may not necessarily comprise optimal play, but could prove beneficial to a new or inexperienced player.

== Generation 1 ==

* When starting the game, time won't begin moving until the player interacts with Mana and Douglas in front of the farm. It is pragmatic to use this moment of infinite time to collect the assorted herbs and grasses from the landscape so that more time on the first day can be spent elsewhere, such as collecting detritus from the seasonal dungeons.

* If the player stays up too late, they will be penalized with reduced HP and RP the subsequent day, in addition to waking up at a later time. The latest the player can stay up without penalty is 2:59 PM, and it is encouraged to rest before that point.

* For posterity, runes from cut flowers yield 12 RP.

* It is advisable to keep a stockpile of medicinal herbs from the farm detritus in storage early on as an early quest requires one on hand, and 3 are required for Natalie to create a healing potion. Tilled land cannot produce medicinal herbs and buying them is mildly expensive in the midgame, so it is preferable to acquire them early on when they're abundant.

* There is an argument to be made not to till many tiles early on, as each day untilled tiles have a chance to produce some form of detritus most often in the form of grasses or herbs. These can be sold for a small profit when money is limited early on, though the chance of having to spend money on clearing poison tiles later means there's often a cost offset down the line.

* The purple circles often seen on dungeon farm tiles early on in the game are poison tiles. To remove them one must purchase the Neutral Agent from Natalie in the Alvarna Clinic for 100G, hold the neutral agent in one's hand directly facing the poison tile, and press A as though intending to drop the item. This process is somewhat obfuscated without prior knowledge. Growth formulas and Greenifiers act the same way, only in front of crops that are still seeds.

* Early on, Mana will post a request to get her a four leaf clover. It is possible to acquire the clover and give it to Rosalind instead of clearing the quest, increasing her FP and LP greatly as it is one of her liked items. The quest can be cancelled and reset infinitely, making it exceedingly easy to raise Rosalind's affinity.

* Once the player has a barn set up, it is suggested to maximize friendship with two ants from Trieste Forest and two Goblin Pirates from Blessia Island. When at max affinity, these four monsters combined will be sufficient to water and harvest the entirety of the farm, grass tiles excepting.

* On large harvest days, the player will often be faced with a surfeit of energy that they cannot feasibly spend within the timeframe. This can be remedied by entering their house and repeatedly performing actions, such as casting the fireball spell at their walls, swinging an axe, etc. to drain RP before collecting more runes and repeating the process. The game only checks that an action was performed at all, not whether or not it successfully hit a target, so it will reward the player with skill experience for taking these actions.

* To compound the benefit of spamming actions within one's home, certain tools increase multiple categories of experience simultaneously. The battle axe increases logging and weapons, the battle hammer increases mining and weapons, and the charged attack of the rod increases weapons and magic.

* Runes from crops restore exactly 50 RP, or half the stamina bar. If optimizing for stamina consumption, it is optimal to exhaust RP completely before consuming exactly 2 runes to restore RP to 100.

* If the player marries Alicia she will not charge for location or weather readings, as long as they remain in generation 1. Paired with the change in schedule that positions Alicia within the player's home at all times, this enables the player to very easily change the weather to rain daily and reduce the amount of exertion required to maintain the seasonal dungeons' crops.

== Preparing for the Transition ==
* When planning to move to generation 2 it is encouraged to visit the schoolhouse after midnight, as reportedly this may save the player's crops during the transition. The behaviour is noted to be inconsistent, however.
* Gold can be obtained by using the Battle Hammer on Padova Mountain's ore deposits in generation 1. The hammer provided by Gordon does not share this property.
* Yue's shop of gifts will change when moving to generation 2. It is advised to purchase a reserve of the platinum if the player has excess funds, as it will take time to acquire that resource later.
* Likewise, it is encouraged to stockpile 33 excess feed per monster in the barn when planning to make the transition. This excess will preserve the monster's friendship value during the transition.
