Rune Factory 5 from Xseed Games and Marvelous is finally available in the West on Nintendo Switch. If you’ve not gotten it yet, read my Rune Factory 5 Switch review here. The newest entry in the series has some interesting changes to the core gameplay while retaining many aspects of what I love about Rune Factory 4. As with prior games, Rune Factory 5 has many facilities and stores selling items, equipment, and more. Each place has its own timings and work days. Hopefully this Rune Factory 5 Shop Timings guide will help you keep track of all the stores and facility timings in the game.
