Rune Factory 5 bachelors tier list - Who's The best boy?
Rune Factory 5 bachelors tier list
S
A
B
C
D
Right now, there are six bachelors available for your character to romance in Rune Factory 5. Of course, it's not especially easy to get on the good side of them all.
Each NPC in Rigbarth has their own personality, likes, and specific requests to bestow upon you. If you stick at it long enough, you'll be able to marry them and have a child if you so desire.
Since there's no specific gameplay benefit to choosing one bachelor over another, our tier list is purely based on opinions. While you'll end up experiencing different quests based on how far you progress each bachelor's relationship tree, you won't end up with a tangibly better experience.
To help you decide who's right for you, we've got into more detail on each bachelor below.
Who are the Rune Factory 5 bachelors?
Cecil
First up is Rigbarth's amateur detective, who follows around his idol Terry at his mystery-solving agency. Cecil is always eager to help out, often seen sprinting around the town investigating mysteries of his own. You can normally find him around either the S.E.E.D. Outpost or at Terry's Detective Agency just south of that.
The more you interact with Cecil, the more open he'll become with quests to take on and cases to solve. Slowly complete these tasks, talk to him daily, and you should be able to attempt a romantic sweep.
Lucas
Next is Lucas, the suave, amnesia-stricken new arrival to Rigbarth. Quite like the protagonist, he's got no knowledge of his past, and spends much of his time trying to piece together his memories. Rather than settling down at a specific location, he's often found wandering the streets of the town. If you speak to him enough and get your closeness up, he'll accompany you on adventures too.
If you want a romantic partner who's mysterious but loyal, the Lucas is one you'll potentially want to spend time getting to know.
Martin
Martin is the rough-and-ready apprentice blacksmith taught by Darroch. He's initially quite cold when you first meet him, but he slowly comes out of his shell the more you purchase new items from the shop, and speak to him on a daily basis. He's not one of the more obvious romance choices in Rune Factory 5, but if you want a romantic partner who'll follow you into battle with blistering efficiency, Martin is for you. He's usually at the forge, though sometimes ends up in the general store.
Murakumo
Murakumo is one of the more outgoing bachelors in Rigbarth, a were-animal who runs the local inn. He's often indebted to the protagonist due to them helping his sister Misasagi, and as such allows you to visit the inn's bath facilities free of charge for the first few times.
You'll end up getting quite close to Murakumo due to his relations to Hina and from visiting the inn's rejuvenating springs in general, so the romantic path can come quite naturally. It's another solid choice due to his sheer brawn in battle and charming loyalty.
Reinhard
Reinhard is a knight sworn to protect the mysterious new arrival, Beatrice. He's a hard nut to crack and often calls upon the protagonist for sporadic quests to take down monsters surrounding Rigbarth. It's an easy way to get close to him, which makes any attempt to romance him that bit easier, but you could hand over some bread to speed the process up. Quite like Murakumo, he's a brilliant companion to take into battle.
Ryker
The last bachelor current in Rune Factory 5is Ryker, the taciturn carpenter who is rarely found outside of his home, which doubles as Palmo's shop. Ryker's personality is a very lazy one, so most of the time you'll have to go searching to interact with him. The process of wooing him is a familiar one, though he's ill-suited to combat.
