New to Rune Factory 5 is the farm dragons. After completing the Whispering Woods, you’ll unlock the first of five farm dragons. As their name implies, these dragons’ main purpose is farming. They have a much bigger field than what you have on SEED’s property, meaning you can plant more crops and thus, in turn, get more money. The farm dragons are also where you build Monster Barns, which are required if you want to tame monsters. Here are all the farm dragons you can get in the game and how you can obtain them.

DragonHow to Obtain
Earth DragonComplete the Whispering Woods
Fire DragonComplete the Kelve Lava Caves
Ice DragonClear the Meline Crystal Caverns
Soil DragonComplete the Thunder Wilderness
Wind DragonClear Belpha Ruins: Depths

In addition to being able to build a Monster Barn on your farm dragon, you can also give it crystals to give your dragon a temporary small boost. To give your dragon a crystal, you need to walk up to its head when you’re on it and interact with it. You’ll then be given a menu where you can gift a variety of crystals.

Crystal (xAmount)What it does
Gaia Crystal (x3)Boosts the soil’s health and damage resistance
Glacies Crystal (x1)It will rain on the farm dragon for a few days
Ignis Crystal (x5)Increases crops’ growth speed
Terra Crystal (x1)Gives you more space to plant crops
Ventus Crystal (x2)Get more crops when they’re ready to be harvested

The only drawback with the farm dragons is that it doesn’t come with small things like a fertilizer bin, lumber/stone box, or a storage box, which you can get for free in quests. So, if you want to keep your farm dragon’s soil quality good or you want easy access to your storage, you will need to go to Palmo’s Studio, buy them, and have them placed on your farm dragon. So, be sure to have plenty of gold, lumber, and stone if you want to build multiple of these pieces of furniture on your dragons.
