RUNE FACTORY 4 CRAFTING UPGRADE
Then use that Scrap Metal+ to upgrade your anti-Mineral Squeek weapon of choice, and you're done.Scrap Iron+: Critical failure while Forging/Crafting. A regular failure will give you Scrap Metal, and you can continue to use that Scrap Metal until a critical failure gives you Scrap Metal+. So you can get it by using ingredients that cannot possibly make an actual item in No Recipe Forging/Crafting, like regular Scrap Metal or Weeds or Medicinal Herbs. And in turn, Scrap Metal+ is obtained as a rare "critical failure" result when forging or crafting. This is accomplished by upgrading a weapon with Scrap Metal+. Mineral Squeeks only have 4 HP, but they drop Double Steel or 10-Fold Steel every time you hit them, so you want a weapon that deals only 1 damage per hit.

So with the base armour, Diamond -> Double Steel -> Amethyst (or whatever) -> Double Steel works, but Diamond -> Double Steel -> Double Steel does not. I've not tried this myself, but based on other (much older, for the 3DS version) guides to RF4, you could use multiple Double Steel (or 10-fold Steel), but only once per upgrade-item. So make sure you amplify the effects of the right material! I tried using two separate upgrade materials and two Double Steels - it doesn't work. They drop the following items: Double Steel (common) and 10-Fold Steel (super rare) which are item effect amplifiers.Īrmour Lv.2 + Double Steel = Armour Lv.3 (+ 50 Def)īUT.bear in mind: You can only use ONE double steel or 10-fold steel in the upgrading process. Which, if you're lucky, will encounter adorable, awesome monsters called Mineral Squeeks. So there's a REAALLY nifty place in Leon Karnak.
