Rune Factory 5 – GUIDE to Coloured Grass / Power-Levelling Forging & Crafting / Making EASY OP Gear

This guide covers where to find coloured grass for item upgrading, how to make some simple meals to sustain yourself during forging/crafting, and how to forge a simple Broadsword with 705 ATK/650 M.ATK & simple Small Shield with 353 DEF/350 M.DEF. It concludes with a boss demonstration. Info sources and timestamps provided below.

Field runs for grass not intended to be exhaustive, just enough to find some for shipping etc. Feel free to share other locations but I think I have the essentials covered.

There are a couple of simple corrections given in the pinned comment.
