Forging, crafting, and cooking are skills you’ll need to be leveling up to be able to take on the toughest enemies in Rune Factory 4.

It’ll take ages for you to get these levels up if you’re limited by how much RP you have.

After all, your fridge can only stock up on so much Strawberry Milk for recovery.
