How to Arrange Village Contests in Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma

In the game “Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma“, village competitions serve as a fantastic means to foster unity within the community, while simultaneously challenging players’ abilities across multiple fields. However, the game may leave players puzzled about how to organize these contests, as it mentions arranging them but doesn’t clarify where to find the village ledger for this purpose. This guide will elucidate the process of organizing village competitions in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and reveal the location of the village ledger so you can participate effortlessly.

Where to Find the Village Ledger in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Hidden in Plain Sight

In each village, the Village Ledger is placed not at the main entrance but along the sides of the shrine dedicated to the village’s deity. To locate it, walk up the wooden steps towards the structure itself, and then scan the left or right side of the platform area near the shrine. There you will find a stand with a book on it. Note that this is distinct from the podium where you can call upon the village’s god (which can be useful for boosting the village level).

After locating the village records, simply hit ‘Y’ on your Xbox, ‘Triangle’ on your PlayStation, or ‘X’ on your Nintendo Switch to engage with them.

Arranging a Village Contest in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Set the Date

As an enthusiast, after engaging with my ledger, I’ll choose the ‘Organize a Village Contest’ option that pops up. Next, I’ll pick the day for the event. In the magical world of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, contests can’t fall on pre-existing holidays, and they can only occur on Sundays. So, remember to choose a date from the calendar that appears, ensuring it falls on a Sunday.

Now you have the option to choose the kind of competition you’d prefer. Each event will challenge your abilities across various fields, such as cultivating the largest and highest quality crop, catching the largest fish, and more. For detailed information about each contest, including its description and location, check out the list provided below.

Contest Name	Description	Which Village
Harvest	Submit harvested crops for judgment	Spring
Cooking	Submit a cooked meal for judgment	Autumn
Quick Meal	Submit a quick cooked meal for judgment	Summer
Curry	Submit a curry for judgment	Spring
Freshwater Fishing Frenzy	Try to reel in the most catches within the time limit	Winter
Saltwater Fish	Try to reel in the biggest catch within the time limit	Summer
Pond Smelt Catch	Try to reel in the most pond smelts within the time limit	Winter
Squid Catch	Try to reel in the biggest squid within the time limit	Autumn

Any competition can be organized using records from any local village, irrespective of where the actual event occurs. To illustrate, the saltwater fishing tournament held in the Summer Village could potentially be organized from the Winter Village itself.

After completing the task, simply click ‘OK’ at the bottom of the screen, then patiently wait for the upcoming event. Remember that certain competitions might need advanced preparations, so if you’ve recently cultivated an extraordinary crop just before the Harvest Contest, consider saving it in your inventory and submit it instead. Essentially, you don’t always have to find your entry on the day of the event itself.

What Happens After Participating in a Village Contest in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma?

Rewards for Everyone!

By joining and taking part in a contest, you stand to make a substantial sum of money. To illustrate, by participating in a harvest competition and placing eighth, I received 7,600G – an impressive amount considering the minimal time investment required. Furthermore, your village’s happiness will grow (if it isn’t already at its maximum), and you’ll even receive one Turnip seed. However, higher placings in the contest yield better rewards.
