4 Things to Focus on Outside Combat in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave

When playing Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, it's important to focus on activities outside of combat. Here are four key aspects to consider:

1. Building support: Support levels and conversations have been expanded in Fortune's Weave. Characters gain support points by eating meals together at the inn, which is available early in the game. Each person has their own food preferences, so it's best to let them choose what they like. Supporting characters outside of combat is also helpful for recruiting new members to your party.

2. Arena training: Once you reach Dagsion, you can participate in arena training. This activity involves assigning two fighters to train together, improving their weapon, magic, or movement skills, while also providing support points for each fighter. Arena training is available every week, so make sure to take advantage of it for your characters' development.

3. Increased renown: Renown is a stat that measures how well-known you are in the city. Each protagonist can earn Renown by completing subquests given out by people throughout Dagsion, which usually involve going onto the world map to find items or handle specific enemies. You can also earn Renown by visiting gods in their temples, which is available early in the game and becomes a more prominent aspect as you progress.

4. Paralogues: Paralogues are significant side quests that expand on the stories of individual characters. They are quite challenging to obtain, as you can only start one if you talk to the right character in Dagsion during a set period of time. The deadlines for paralogues are strict, so it's crucial to be aware of the dates. Completing a paralogue rewards you with 20,000 gold, a significant amount of Renown, and unlocks recruitment for certain characters.
