Discover how to nurture Courage, Wisdom, Tolerance, Eloquence, and Imagination in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Learn what each stat unlocks for bonds, shops, and quests.
In Metaphor: ReFantazio, you'll be focusing on five key Royal Virtues: Courage, Wisdom, Tolerance, Eloquence, and Imagination. Think of these as the qualities that define a great king. Each of these stats has five ranks, and they're super important for progressing certain Follower Bonds, unlocking special shops, and even taking on specific quests. You'll be raising these stats by doing various activities throughout the game, and often, your choices in conversations will play a big role too. Many of these activities will take up time slots on your free days, and some are only available at certain times of the day. The great news is that any progress you make with your Royal Virtues carries over to a New Game+!
To help you prioritize, here's a quick rundown of what each stat unlocks:
| Stat | Needed for |
| Courage | Alonzo and Brigitta’s Bonds |
| Wisdom | Hulkenberg, Eupha, Alonzo, and Brigitta’s Bonds, unlocking Purifying at the Church in Grand Trad, unlocking a shop on Virga Islands |
| Tolerance | Maria, Catherina, and Alonzo’s Bonds |
| Eloquence | Heismay, Eupha, Basillio, and Bardon’s Bonds |
| Imagination | Strohl, Heismay, Junah, Basillio, and Alonzo’s Bonds |
That's the basic idea! If you want to dive deeper into how to actually raise each stat and what specific ranks you need for certain Followers, you can check out the more in-depth guides for each individual stat.
