Rod Crafting Recipes - Rune Factory 2 Guides

This page has a list of all the Rod Recipes that you can make with the Forge in Rune Factory 2. You won't have access to the Forge until the second generation; you'll need to start by purchasing the Workshop upgrade for the School then purchasing the Forge from Yue's bargains. Once you've done these two things you'll be able to craft any weapon you want in the game (and upgrade it)!

I've included recipes for both the base item and how to upgrade it below so that you don't have to waste time tabbing around to multiple pages.
