As you progress in Rune Factory 5, you are bound to notice that you take a great deal more damage, especially once you reach the later dungeons in the story. One of the things you have to do in the game is update your defensive equipment, and relying on random drops simply won't do.
Instead, you should be crafting your own defensive equipment. There's a plethora of shields, body, and leg armor to consider, and accessories on top of that. Once you've unlocked the ability to purchase the Crafting Table from Studio Palmo (after getting the License from Saint Eliza) you can place it wherever you want and start building up your Crafting Skill and eating Recipe Bread to learn recipes. If you know recipes through guides such as this one, however, you may try to create armor pieces early, before your Crafting Level would normally allow it.
Be aware that using a recipe before you learn it through Recipe Bread or having used it previously will cost extra RP and might fail if the recipe's level is greater than your Crafting Skill level.
In the tables below, an item in italics means you can use any item of that category.
