How to give a Crystal to a Farm Dragon in Rune Factory 5

Farm Dragons allow Rune Factory 5 players to build farms, own a monster barn for tamed creatures, and more. They are giant dragons with actual farms on their backs. Players can even grow crops on these massive animals as they fly about the world of the latest Rune Factory title.

To speed up the crop growing process, players can give a Crystal to the Farm Dragon by interacting with it.

Farm Dragons provide a much larger space for farming and activities than the properties offered by SEED. If players own a Crystal of any type, they can give it to the Farm Dragon for a slight boost to their farming operation. Here is how to interact with the Farm Dragon and complete the process:

• Go to one of the Farm Dragons.
• Approach the Dragon's head and interact with it.
• Open the menu with the Crystals available.
• Select a Crystal to give to the Dragon and confirm.

You will begin experiencing the benefits immediately.

However, obtaining a Crystal and recognizing its properties is an entirely different story. It takes a bit more than just an interaction.

How to get Crystals and their uses in Rune Factory 5

Players will come across Crystal Fragments during their adventures. However, those are not what should be given to Farm Dragons. Instead, Crystal Fragments need to be taken to Heinz and turned into full Crystals, which can then be provided to the creatures.

The following Crystals can be given to a Farm Dragon to obtain their respective benefits:

• Ventus Crystal: Use this Crystal to increase the number of crops you harvest.
• Terra Crystal: Use this Crystal to get more area to plant crops.
• Ignis Crystal: Use this Crystal to speed up the crop growth process.
• Glacies Crystal: Use this Crystal to make it rain on the Farm Dragon.
• Gaia Crystal: Use this Crystal to increase damage resistance and soil health.

Players can decide which one to use depending on the crops they need help with.
