Rune Factory 5: SEED Crest Guide

thegamer.com:

SEED crests are a new gameplay mechanic in the series introduced in Rune Factory 5. They are earned through monster capture missions. You can equip them and unequip them like gear, but they don't take up a gear slot. Instead of increasing stats, SEED crests provide passive buffs to the player.

There are ten total SEED crests in the game. All of them are pretty unique in what they do. Knowing which one to equip and when will be a sizable boost to your farming ability. Here are all the SEED crests in Rune Factory 5, what they do, and how to unlock them.

SEED crests are equipable items that give passive buffs to the player. Some of them do simple things like increase movement speed or point gain. Others will unlock minor new features like escort missions. At first, you can only equip one SEED crest at a time, but later on, you'll be able to equip two at once.

All SEED crests are locked behind the game's Wanted Monster missions. You will receive a crest for the first time you catch a monster of a given rank, and another for capturing all the monsters in that rank.

Aside from the Beginner's Crest, there are no crests that you can acquire outside of Wanted Monster missions.

You actually don't have to capture any monsters at all to receive the first crest, the Beginner's Crest. Livia will give it to you when you join SEED. It will increase your VIT and let you take baths at the inn for free. However, you can't equip it if your Level is 25 or higher.

The Companion Crest is the reward for capturing all one-star Wanted Monsters. While this crest is equipped, you can invite any resident to join your party. Typically, you can only do that if their Friendship Level is 3 or higher.
