Nora to Toki no Koubou: Kiri no Mori no Majo（Nintendo DS）
🗺️ Overall Progression and Time Allocation in the Misty Forest
Apprentice timecrafter Nora moves into a workshop in the misty forest and spends her days trying to clear suspicions that she is a legendary witch. The game gives you a limited period of roughly three years. Many actions, including travel, gathering, crafting, and combat, advance the calendar, so it is important to consider time allocation from the outset. The basic progression is to build trust by fulfilling townspeople's requests while raising your timecrafting level. Work through the objectives of each stage one at a time without rushing.
Nora to Toki no Koubou: Kiri no Mori no Majo — what should I check first in Progression and Time Management Chart?
At first, the focus is crafting at the workshop and introducing yourself to the townspeople. Start by collecting materials at nearby gathering sites and learning to make the basic items requested. Your timecrafting level grows through completing requests and repeated crafting, so doing a manageable number of these is the quickest approach. Getting used to the controls and reading the screens now makes the busier later stages easier to handle.

- ▸ Learn the controls by making basic items at the workshop's crafting table
- ▸ Learn what materials are available at nearby gathering sites and where to obtain them
- ▸ Accept townspeople's requests to establish trust and friendship
- ▸ Gradually raise your timecrafting level through requests and crafting
As your range of activities expands, you will be completing requests alongside exploring places such as the depths of the misty forest. Since the days keep passing, decide which gathering site to visit and what items to make before setting out to reduce wasted time. Alongside gaining levels in combat, start considering relationship and friendship events for particular characters to make the later stages easier. The key is to set priorities instead of trying to do too much at once.
- ▸ Decide which materials you need and which items you will make before leaving
- ▸ Keep request deadlines and changing seasons in mind
- ▸ Raise your adventurer level through exploration and combat as well
- ▸ Begin progressing through relationship events for characters who interest you
Once the remaining time becomes clearer, plan backward from the ending or goals you want to reach. Building up factors that affect the ending, such as timecrafting level and relationships, early gives you more leeway. Take care not to miss events that mark major story milestones. The groundwork laid by the midgame helps you avoid a last-minute rush.
- ▸ Plan how to use the remaining time by working backward from your desired ending
- ▸ Build timecrafting level and relationships according to a plan
- ▸ Do not overlook events that mark major story milestones
- ▸ Check for unfinished tasks before entering the late game
