In Rune Factory 5, the protagonist can take requests from the task board outside of the Silo. It is a list of request to indicate new assignments and to teach you about its systems and unlocking valuable resources. After each request is completed, you will receive a reward.
Lucy will give you a fishing pole, so no need to worry about buying one. Head to any nearby body of water and look for the fish-shaped shadows in the water; any fish will work so you can head to the task board after catching one.

Make Friends

Head to the forge you purchased from Palmo and make any weapon, it doesn’t matter which one. Once you’ve forged a weapon, you can pick up your materials from Martin at the task board.
Each new day there is a chance of an optional, randomly generated request being posted on the board. They can reoccur an unlimited amount of times, have no influence on the story and appear regardless of whether there are main requests active or unaccepted. If an accepted optional request is canceled, it will reappear on the request board, but if not accepted before the end of the day, a new optional quests may replace the old one the next morning, as only one can be active at any time.
The request will randomly be one of the following: "Deliver Cold Medicine to [specific character]", "Ship [specific fish]", "Kill 3 of [specific monster]" or "Bring Squid to [specific character]". The reward is listed as "???" and will be a random medicine item, as well as a slight friendship boost for the character you delivered the item to. Optionally you can also submit the results to the task board outside the detective agency for a reward of 5,000 gold instead of a random medicine.
In addition and independantly there is a slight chance when talking to a character that they will offer a specific optional requests, such as Lucy asking for one silver ore in order to repair her fishing rod or Yuki asking for a Toyherb. You can choose to accept or decline during the conversation, but if the request gets cancled, it will not be offered again. They have no bearing on the story or romance progression but will reward a friendship boost as well as a random item.
Furthermore, optional quests reward the player with 100 Seed Points and if it is a request directly received from a villager, it will reward 200 Seed Points. Both are affected by the multiplier when the crest Patrol Mark is equipped.

You can receive a "request" on the bulletin board in front of the Seed Rigverse station. It may be requested directly by the resident.
Catch wanted monsters is also an important task for the security organization that protects the peace of the town.
