Biography
Saibara upgrades tools and runs the workshop where his grandson Gray trains. His service connects mining, tool experience and farm efficiency.
Appearance
An older craftsman with a stern face and work clothes, Saibara is usually associated with the forge.
Personality
He is demanding and blunt, especially about craftsmanship. His strictness is part of the tension in Gray’s apprenticeship.
Role in the story
Regular visits make him important throughout the farming year, not only during a single quest. Better tools expand what the player can clear and maintain.
Gameplay and encounters
Bring the correct ore, payment and an experienced enough tool. Schedule upgrades around rain or low-demand days so losing access to the watering can does not interrupt crop care.
