Marriage & Parenthood Guide – Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

In Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, romance is more than just a side activity—it’s a wholesome and rewarding part of village life. Once you’ve romanced a character and maxed out your bond, it’s time to think about marriage and maybe even starting a family.

This guide will walk you through how to get married, where to find Wisteria (a key marriage item), and how the child system works in the game.

💍 How to Get Married in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Step 1: Reach Bond Level 10 and Complete Romance Quests

Once you’ve maxed out your relationship (Bond Level 10) and completed all of a character’s bonding quests, you’ll get a visit from Woolby the next morning. He’ll tell you about the Fateweaver Shrine, which is the key location for proposing and getting married.

Step 2: Get a Red Plum Tree Branch

Woolby will give you a Red Plum Tree Sapling. Just plant this tree behind the Dragon Shrine in any village. It takes around 5 in-game days to grow. Once it’s fully grown, you can harvest a Red Plum Branch, which is required for marriage.

Step 3: Craft Divine Spirits (Rice + Wisteria)

You’ll also need to cook a dish called Divine Spirits. The recipe requires:

• Rice – Grown easily in the Autumn Village
  
• Wisteria – A bit trickier to track down (see below for help)
  

Once you have both ingredients, cook Divine Spirits using a fire like any other cooking recipe.

Step 4: Propose at Fateweaver Shrine

With the Red Plum Branch and Divine Spirits ready, head to your chosen partner and invite them to the Fateweaver Shrine. After a sweet cutscene and celebration, you’ll officially be married!

After marriage, your spouse will sleep in the shrine with you and give you a meal each morning—useful for healing or selling.

🌸 How to Get Wisteria

Wisteria is one of the harder materials to find, but here are the two best ways to get it:

Option 1: Visit Flowering Village

• Open the Warp Submenu on your map (X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, Y on Switch)
  
• Warp to Flowering Village—an island in the sky that becomes accessible through the main story
  
• Look for a log icon just north of where you land
  
• Chop it to receive at least one Wisteria Blossom
  

Option 2: Explore the Spring Highlands

• Find trees with pink, drooping blossoms
  
• Chop these trees to gather Wisteria
  

⚠️ Note: Planting a Wisteria tree in your village doesn’t reliably give you blossoms—it often just gives you regular wood. It’s better to gather Wisteria from the wild.

👶 How to Have a Child in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Step 1: Wait 5 Days After Marriage

About five in-game days after tying the knot, your spouse will talk to you one morning about the idea of having a child. If you say yes, you’ll head to the Fateweaver Shrine and pray together.

Step 2: Wait Another 5 Days and Pray Again

Five more in-game days will pass. Then, you’ll be prompted to revisit the Fateweaver Shrine. Woolby will confirm the good news—you’re going to be parents!

Step 3: Choose the Child’s Gender and Traits

Your spouse will ask:

• Do you want a boy or girl?
  
  • Choose your preference or let the game decide at random.
    
• What do you think they’ll be like?
  
  • This affects minor personality traits but doesn’t impact the main story.
    

Step 4: Birth and Bonding

Five in-game days later, your baby is born. You’ll get to name your child, and from then on, they’ll live with you in the shrine and become a new NPC you can bond with.

⚠️ Note: As of now, your child won’t grow older than Suzu (young child stage). They stay small and cute indefinitely—though this might change if you play long enough.
