4 Things to Focus on Outside Combat in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave guide for early-game activities outside combat.

In brief

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave guide for early-game activities outside combat. Players should prioritize support levels, renown, materials, and recruiting characters early in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave to build their team effectively. Originally reported by IGN.

Show Your Support

Players can build support levels by eating meals together at the inn, which increases group compatibility and recruits.

“The inn menu changes daily, and when you pick your group of three, you can see how they feel about each meal.”

Raise Your Renown

Players earn renown through subquests, paralogues, and god visits, which unlock character recruitment and game progression.

“Completing a paralogue nets you 20,000 gold, a bunch of renown, and unlocks recruitment for certain characters.”

Mind Your Materials

Mind Your Materials

Players should upgrade weapons and gather materials from mines and dungeons to improve character equipment and combat effectiveness.

“Dungeons will also be filled with boxes and barrels you can smash with an attack, and ones that hold items will have golden sparkles on them.”

Rally Your Recruits

Players recruit characters by meeting requirements like support levels, renown, and gifts, which can be done through the map interface.

“Recruits have different requirements for each of the protagonists. Someone who needs 10 renown to be recruited by Cai might only need 4 renown to be recruited by Dietrich.”

Inn Meals and Support

Group meals at the inn increase support points based on food preferences, helping recruit characters who aren't in your party.

“The amount of support points everyone gains is based on how much they like the meal, so don't try to force people to eat stuff they don't like.”

Arena Training

Players can assign two fighters to train weekly, boosting their combat skills and support points for advanced classes.

“Arena training is the most valuable way to prepare characters for more advanced combat classes.”

Subquests and Renown

Subquests given by characters in Dagsion earn renown and provide items, with deadlines that vary by protagonist.

“All protagonists can take on subquests given out by people throughout Dagsion, most of which will take you onto the world map to find items or get rid of certain enemies.”

Paralogues and Deadlines

Paralogues are time-sensitive side quests that require specific dates to complete, offering 20,000 gold and renown rewards.

“You can only start one paralogue if you talk to the right character in Dagsion during a set period of time, and the deadlines for paralogues are strict.”

God Temples and Lore

Visiting gods in temples in Dagsion increases renown and provides lore information, with availability marked by yellow icons.

“On some days, one of those icons is yellow, which means that god is there in person and available to visit.”

Character Recruitment

Recruiting characters requires specific support levels, renown, and gifts, with different requirements for each protagonist.

“Recruits have different requirements for each of the protagonists. Someone who needs 10 renown to be recruited by Cai might only need 4 renown to be recruited by Dietrich.”

Material Gathering

Players gather materials from mines and dungeons to upgrade weapons and improve character progression.

“Dungeons will also be filled with boxes and barrels you can smash with an attack, and ones that hold items will have golden sparkles on them.”

Food and Animals

Food items restore health and magic, and can be used to lure animals for mounts, with specific preferences for different species.

“If you use rare food, noted by a blue icon with a sparkle in the corner, you're more likely to attract rare animals.”

Recruitment Strategy

Focus on a few recruits at a time to meet requirements, then move to new ones without losing access to future recruits.

“Recruiting a character with one protagonist will not remove them from the pool for other protagonists.”

What Happens Next

Players should prioritize early-game activities to build their team effectively for later game challenges.
