The Digifarm in Digimon Story: Time Stranger is far more than a resting place for your extra Digimon — it’s the heart of your team development system. Whether you’re raising stats, altering personalities, or optimizing for perfect evolutions, understanding how to use the Digifarm effectively can save hours of grinding later.
How to Unlock the Digifarm
You’ll gain access to the Digifarm early in the main story. After defeating Raremon during the Reunions Bring Trouble quest, explore the Kabukicho back alley in Shinjuku until you find a mysterious door leading to the In-Between Theater.
Inside, talk to Mirei Mikagura, the purple-haired receptionist at the counter. Selecting “I wanna check out the Digifarm” will unlock the feature permanently. You can revisit the In-Between Theater anytime through similar doors found across the game’s maps.
What the Digifarm Actually Does
At its core, the Digifarm acts as a passive training environment where up to 30 Digimon can gain experience, collect materials, and improve through interaction. It’s split into three key systems:
- Training – boosts stats and alters personality.
- Feeding – increases Bond for better stat inheritance.
- Customization – decorates and expands your personal island hub.
Digimon placed in the farm gain the same EXP as those in your box, ensuring no one falls behind even when they’re not in your main team.
How to Move, Store, and Arrange Digimon in the Farm
To add or remove Digimon, use the Move Digimon option in the Digifarm menu. You can freely transfer creatures from your active party, reserves, or box.
Each Digimon on the farm passively gathers materials over time. These materials are automatically added to your inventory during visits and are used for crafting Training Sets, decorations, and upgrades later in the game. Always keep your farm full — idle Digimon are wasted potential.
Training: Building Stronger Digimon
Training is where the Digifarm truly shines. By using Training Sets, you can raise specific stats or modify a Digimon’s personality toward a target type (like Valor or Wisdom).
How Training Works
- Select Interact with Digimon in Farm → Training.
- Choose the desired Training Set (e.g., Punching Bag for ATK).
- Each session takes 30–90 real-time minutes, depending on the set tier (A, B, or C).
- You can Quick Complete instantly using Yen if you’re short on time.
Training continues in real time while you play, but not when the game is suspended. Once finished, Mirei Mikagura will message you — reply directly to her to reassign training without revisiting the farm.
Training Set Tiers
- Set A: Basic stat boosts; small personality shifts.
- Set B: Larger stat and personality improvements.
- Set C: Huge stat gains but no personality change — ideal for final builds.
You can own multiple copies of a Training Set to train several Digimon simultaneously. For example, two Punching Bag C sets allow two Digimon to train ATK at once.
How to Craft and Upgrade Training Sets in the Digifarm
While some Training Sets appear as rewards or treasure finds, the most reliable method is crafting them through Zudomon’s Smithy in Central Town. As you progress through side quests like The Blacksmith’s Request and The Craftsman’s Partner, Zudomon will unlock new blueprints, including advanced B and C tier sets.
Each recipe uses a mix of:
- Consumables (like ATK Boosts or HP Capsules)
- Textures or models (like Iron Texture or Tree Model)
- Existing Training Sets (to upgrade from A → B → C)
Later in the game, after the On My Life quest, Wendigomon can also craft required materials to support high-tier Training Set creation.
Feeding and Bond Management
Feeding Digimon is essential to maximize their potential during Digivolution. The Bond percentage (0–100%) determines how many cumulative stats carry over between forms.
Feeding Basics
- Purchase food from Item Shops.
- Feed your Digimon directly in the farm.
- Each type of food increases Bond differently — favorites show a heart icon and provide maximum growth.
You cannot feed Digimon while they’re training, so wait for their session to finish or cancel it first. Besides feeding, Bonds also rise slowly through battles or Digiline conversations.
Aim for 100% Bond before major Digivolutions to maximize stat inheritance.
Customization and Decorations
The Digifarm’s visual customization lets you design your ideal training environment. You can modify:
- Terrain Tiles (up to 492 total)
- Decorative Items (up to 250 total)
While decorations are purely cosmetic and do not affect training or personality, they allow players to express their creativity. New decorations unlock through quests or crafting with Zudomon, and the materials often come from the farm itself.
If you prefer efficiency, focus on functional tiles first and expand visually later.
Quick Tips to Train Digimon Faster in the Digifarm
1. Prioritize Crash Course Skills
Unlock the four Crash Course Agent Skills (Valor, Philanthropy, Amicability, Wisdom) to reduce training times by 50% depending on your Digimon’s personality type. These drastically speed up farming cycles.
2. Rotate Your Lineup
Keep high-priority Digimon training while others recover or gather materials. Since EXP and materials are earned passively, there’s no reason to leave the farm empty.
3. Combine Load Enhancements
Trained Digimon yield more experience when used for Load Enhancement. Build them up in the farm, then convert them to strengthen your core team efficiently.
4. Reply to Mirei’s Messages
Use the Digiline notifications to reassign tasks remotely. This small habit saves significant back-and-forth time.
5. Avoid Common Mistakes
- Don’t ignore Bond; it’s vital for powerful evolutions.
- Always train multiple Digimon concurrently.
- Regularly collect materials to avoid resource shortages later.
The Digifarm is far more than background flavor — it’s an automated growth engine that supports every phase of your adventure. From crafting top-tier Training Sets to fine-tuning personalities, it provides a long-term power curve that complements the main story’s pacing.
With consistent use, your Digimon will evolve faster, train smarter, and carry stronger stats through every form.
