What are Farming Tools and how to craft and equip them

Farming is an essential gameplay part of Rune Factory 5, as players will spend a long time farming in the game while they settle into their new life in Rigbarth. There are a total of six types of Farming Tools that are used for different purposes. The types of Farming Tools are Hoes, Waterpots, Sickles, Axes, Hammers, and Fishing Poles.

To craft a Farming Tool, the player needs a Forge along with raw materials. Players can easily purchase a Forge from either Palmo or Ryker at the furniture and renovate the shop. As for raw materials, the player has to gather them in-game by doing the action required.

To equip the different types of Farming Tools, press the L button, which brings up the equipment wheel consisting of Weapons, Farm Tools, and Other. From there navigate to the Farm Tools with the d-pad, while holding the L button menu open. Then use the d-pad and select the Farming Tool with Y.
