In the latter case it creates an area at which you can easily farm coins for every spirit, which are used extensively in advanced crafting should you want to try it out. In the former case, max mana values increases the speed at which produce grows and increases the chance for produce to be rare. So unless you don't care about said quests, you want to leave a space next to Domina for the sword for basically the entire game.ģ.) Similarly to above, you will usually want to have the Orchard (Golden Seed) and some combat area next to the Sword for Max mana values. The later you place it, the better.Ģ.) Domina, the first town, has multiple quests associated with it that trigger off of specific Mana values, and the only way to satisfy all of them in a single run is to drop the Sword of Mana next to it (thereby granting max values to the adjacent lands). Reason being is that it's land, Geo, has the best potential shops in the game and shops scale off of gameplay progression and distance from Home. There's only three things to keep in mind:ġ.) Tome of magic is usually obtained early but should be held until very late game, as one of the last artifacts to be placed.

That being said, unless you care about hardcore completion artifact placement doesn't matter that much.

All of them, at bare minimum, will include every quest and demi-human pet, though some layouts offer greater quest rewards, better odds for rare fruit, or better odds for rare pets. Unless they've rebalanced the mana values on various artifacts for whatever reason, the old tried-and-true maps on GameFAQs will still help you 100% the game in a single run.
