>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *************************************************************************** HARVEST MOON: More Friends of Mineral Town GUIDE by Gwendy version 1.5.1 made: 08/10/05 last updated: 07/12/06 *************************************************************************** <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< +Updates+ 07/12/06 - Hello again guys. I know it's been a while since my last update and since I answered e-mails. It was mostly because of the devastating death of my grandfather over the summer: something that so far, I am having a very hard time coping with. Lolo Tanciong was just the best grandfather ever! It was from him that I somewhat inherited my talkativeness, my *humor* as most of you have said, and he had supported me all throughout my life. He gave me and my cousins his time, showing us how to fish, making fishing poles for us, showing us how to feed pigs and chickens, telling us wonderful stories of his life especially about the war, and most of all, he gave us his undying and unconditional love which we still feel today. I miss him something terrible... Getting all choked up here. Back to business. This is now version 1.5.1, since I did a bit of changing in the TABLE OF CONTENTS, as well as some instructions on easy navigation through the guide. Added the guys' LOVE items (meaning items that they REALLY REALLY like so you can get 'em to love you back real quick). Added a more questions in the FAQs and some websites that are hosting this FAQ. Also, there's an added section to this guide called Gamers' Tips, which, is some tips on playing the game from you gamers, which I can't seem to put up anywhere but another section. I also added My Requests section, which is (you guessed it) my requests for this guide. Added some more codes and tips too. Enjoy! 01/10/06 - Happy New year! Corrected some more stuff, added some URLs that have been using this guide. Also added more credits to people who added in some stuff. Also got the floor locations for the pink diamond. Also added more to Cliff's info and the FAQs. 12/28/05 - Whoa! Long time since my last update huh? Been busy with school lately and just found the time during the holidays. I added some more sites that hosted this FAQ/Walkthrough and corrected a few stuff as well as add in some credits. I'll need some time to reoarganize my heaps of e-mails so please don't be mad if your submission/addition/correction was overlooked. 09/20/05 - Made some corrections and such, esp. in the Kitchen Cassanova section. Made some grammar corrections, added more events, more tips and more credits to the respective people who helpfuly provided some great info. Thanks, guys! 09/12/05 - Added some more info one where to acquire the "All BGM" and more "Queen of the Night". Due credits are given to the people who provided the information. Thanks guys! Also added one more link to a site somewhere. Also added some master codes. A lot of people don't seem to need it, but seems some still do. I don't know if it'll work though. Someone also provided me another master code, though, I don't use it myself. More questions in FAQs too. 09/01/05 - Completed the Heart Events description for all the guys. Also corrected some schedules for those events, most esp. Cliff's. I've finished making the guy schedules. More tips and warning in Fencing it Up and more questions answered in FAQ. Except for some minor details, the guide is pretty much complete now. WHEW! 08/29/05 - I finally found the e-mail where my cousin got most of the cheat codes! Give your applause to Solomon Warrior, duely credited in the CREDITS section. Also give a hand to Nate, who gave me a thorough and detailed tip on using stones as fences. Thanks Nate! Also added more Codebreaker codes of my own. The entire Character events section has been revised and I added in more events. I'm not sure, but I think it's complete now...or maybe I'll have to add more soon. Added some more specialty items. I got to adding info on the seven rings. I plan to make a codebreaker guide soon. 8/25/05 - Completed the descriptions of Doctor, Gray, Rick, Kai and Won's heart events. Also completed the descriptions in "In Your Dreams". Some new sections will be added very very soon as well. And I've started revi- sing my CHARACTER EVENTS section. Also completed the fising guide in FISHERY. More questions answered in FAQS. 8/19/05 - I've completed the Girl Events. Added more prices & items to Sold. I've also put some wonderful money-making tips under Gold-Digger. To those wondering about Van's Favorite Thing, check Specialty Items. Also added a great purpose to the Golden Lumber. See FAQs. 8/18/05 - My first official update! Just decided to edit some more stuff. I added some more cheats, more tips and the descriptions of the guys. Some new sections have been added as well. Just go over the table of contents as well as the whole of the guide. I think that's all for now. Please note that these are only work in progress and more will be added in the next few updates so please don't send any additions until I announce the completion of this guide (seen in gamefaqs as a full-circle, not half) or else you may not be credited for your contributions. ________________________________________________________________________________ Got comments? Suggestions? Questions? Additions? E-mail me and I'll answer them or credit you! Because of the enormous SPAM mail that I've been getting, I decided to open up a new e-mail for all questions and I won't be displaying it as prominently as before. The new e-mail is hmUNDERSCOREgwendyATyahooDOTcomDOTph Try deciphering that for change! Hah! That way, only truly desperate people can e-mail me. If you have any questions regarding gameplay, please see FAQs to see if your questions have already been answered. Copyright Gwendy 2005 Please ask my permission first before posting this in your website or whatever. And do not claim this guide as your own and don't even think of changing anything here! I put a lotta work on this! If I am unable to answer your e-mail, I'm so sorry. I am a very busy girl. I'm just gonna shorten what I previously wrote and say that I have my own life to live beyond Harvest Moon (though don't you just wish you could have a farm with rapidly growing crops and watch the dough roll in?). So please don't get angry if I can't respond immediately. Also, I DO NOT claim to be the supreme master of Harvest Moon so if I can't answer your question, don't be mad. I only wrote this guide (I claim to be a master writer hehehe) to help fellow gamers like myself.

This guide is for those who already have a bit of knowledge using GBA and have preferably played this game before. This guide contains very little details on controlling the game but simply gives some tips and tricks to make your gaming experience enjoyable. ANOTHER THING you have to remember is that this guide is more for Visualboy Advance users so if you don't have that program (which is illegal BTW), you may not understand some stuff here. ALSO, you have to know of course, that a rom is ILLEGAL if you don't have the actual game cartridge/cd and should be deleted from your PC within 24 hours. I share one with a cousin, since we both paid for it. If you have anything to add, questions, comments and suggestions, e-mail or PM me and I'll gladly answer your queries and credit you for anything that will be added here (See top or E-mailing Queries).

ABOUT +ABOUT HARVEST MOON: More Friends of Mineral Town+ Created by: NATSUME Harvest Moon is the only farming game in the world. It's fun and you can play it for months and never get everything in the game. It's somewhat similar to an RPG and the Sims. If you've played Friends of Mineral Town before, get ready for a nostalgic feel! Other than you the fact that you get to play the girl, many exciting changes have been made since the boy version. You can grow crops, buy and sell things, go fishing, make friends, get a boyfriend, get married, have a family, expand your farm and loads more stuff! There are even great festivals which you can attend throughout all four seasons! One set back is that this game requires loads of patience (which I have) so if you have A.D.D.** or something, you might wanna go cheat (Hey! Even someone as patient as me do it!) **Attention Deficit Disorder...you fool... +About Me+ Hi! My name's Gwendy (not that anyone cares). I'm a girl, and as you can see, I'm an absolute fan of Harvest Moon games, particularly Friends of Mineral Town. I just got so hooked in the series. I saw that some guides don't provide as much infos so I decided to make my own. I studied hard and found some neato tricks that I would like to share with everyone else. Harvest Moon first came to the SNES Consoles and GB Color consoles even then, I couldn't stop playing. Until that is, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town came to GBA. I knew I just gotta grab it and when I did, I got hooked. I went crazier the moment I finally got my copy of More Friends of Mineral Town. And so comes this guide. I hope this will help you. It's my 2nd game guide after my FoMT guide! Oh, just to inform you. I didn't think people would ask more stuff about me, so I decided to add in some stuff. I'm a Filipina, born and raised in Mindanao, Philippines. I can speak fluent Bisaya, Tagalog and English. I was born on July 30, 1985. I am a cartoonist, writer and student all rolled into one. For more of my other obsessions (anime, books and games), check out my websites: http://quillsnspills.portkey.org (Harry Potter+Hermione Granger) yeah, I know;| http://kazxjun.tk (Tekken's Kazuya and Jun) http://kazxjunfanlist.tk (Official Jun+Kazuya fanlisting) ________________________________________________________________________________ II.

BEGINNING +Starting the Game+ Click start. Enter your name. Enter your Birthday. Enter you farm's name. Enter your dog's name and you're all set! +Prologue+ You start as a young woman (maybe 18-20 yrs old). You live in the city and dream of getting away from all the hustle and bustles of your boring life. You decide to read the morning paper and lo and behold! There's an ad of a supposedly wonderful farm up for sale and at a pretty low price! You start imagining what a great life you'd have there: riding a horse, playing with your dog, relaxing in the mountains...EUREKA! You'll buy it! You then call the realtor and close the deal. However, when you arrive, you find nothing but a beat down old farm in need of a major overhaul: definitely nothing like the one described in the ad. A man comes by and asks if you're a tourist. You explain that you're the one who bought the farm after seeing the ad and he starts laughing at you. He is Mayor Thomas. He says that you're not the first one who got tricked into buying the farm. He continues to laugh at your expense and you get so angry, you hit him with a hammer! WHAM! He yelps and apologizes, asking you to stop hitting him. You have the option to continue hitting or not, though I don't really know how this affects the game. After you calm down, the mayor apologizes again. He then learns that you've quit your job and left your apartment just to buy the farm. He sympathizes and tells you that you can stay and he'll do his best to help you. If you don't want to, credits will roll and the game ends. If you choose to stay, your new Harvest Moon adventure begins! +Menu+ Here are descriptions of the different menu options of the game. You can access these by pressing START and using the directional buttons to choose your menu option. Press B to select a menu.

TOOLS & ACTIONS: Press START and go to RUCKSACK MENU. Select tool/item. Press B to use tool/item. +Basic Tools & Actions+ 1.) Chop Branches/Wood Tool: Axe (free) 2.) Break Rocks/Boulders Tool: Hammer (free) 3.) Cut Grass/Weeds/Plants/Crops Tool: Sickle (free) 4.) Till Ground (for planting or searching buried items) Tool: Hoe (free) 5.) Water Plants Tool: Watering Can (free) 6.) Fishing/Angling Tool: Fishing Rod (free from Zack) +Other Tools+ (buy these from Saibara the blacksmith) Brush = brush cows, sheep & horse to increase affection Milker = used for milking cows Shears = used to cut wool from sheep +Upgradable Tools+ Upgraded tools are tools which are much more powerful and much more helpful around the farm. There are six upgradable tools: axe, hammer, sickle, hoe, watering can and fishing rod. First things you'll need are the right ores and money. You can find the ores in the Spring Mine (cave near hotspring) by breaking the rocks with your hammer. *Ore Locations: 1.)Copper = Level 1 & Lower 2.)Silver = Level 1 & Lower 3.)Gold = Level 3 & Lower 4.)Mystrile = Level 7 & Lower 5.)Mythic = Level 60 & Lower (discussed later) +How to Upgrade+ Go to Saibara, the blacksmith(he's a grumpy old man who lives in the first house you see when going to town from the main entrance of your farm). Bring the ore you want your tool to be upgraded with and of course, the tool you want to have upgraded. Make sure you have the money too. It'll take a few days for him to finish a tool, depending on the ore but it usually takes 2-3 days. *Upgrading Costs: 1.)Copper = 1,000 G 2.)Silver = 2,000 G 3.)Gold = 3,000 G 4.)Mystrile = 4,000 G 5.)Mythic = 50,000G (discussed later) +Using Upgraded Tools+ Upgraded tools require more power than your previous normal tools. To harness that power, hold B and let go. The higher the upgrade, the longer it will need for you to hold the B button. If it doesn't work the first time, you'll have to do it again. MAJOR TIP: If you want to save money, you can wait until all tools can be upgraded for Mystrile. You can see this by pressing SELECT to go to the MAIN MENU. Press LEFT or RIGHT until you reach a TOOLS GRAPH, where you can see as to what ore your tool can be upgraded to. You can also hang out by the hotspring and use the tool several times until you get it to be upgraded for Mystrile. Once you turn blue, just take a dip in the hotspring for 1-2 hours(game time). Get out and start using the tool again. Jumping to Mystrile saves on the money since it's only 4000G upgrade per tool unlike the normal step-by-step upgrading, which can cost up to 10,000G per tool! And to think you have 6 upgradable tools! +Using Items+ Like the tools, you can also use some items (seeds, medicine, magic medicine). To do this, select an item from the RUCKSACK MENU and equip it. Press B. +Eating Items+ Food items of course, can be eaten (while drinks can be drank). To do this, select a food item in the RUCKSACK MENU and equip it. Once you have it in your hands, hold L while pressing B or press them both at the same time.(L+B) +Special Tools+ There are 3 particular types of special tools which are several times more powerful than Mystrile Tools. These are the Cursed Tools, Blessed Tools and the Mythic Tools. <> These are really powerful tools which you can find on certain levels of the Winter/Lake Mine. To acquire these, you have to dig up on the floor until you eventually find it. Note that when you equip these, it won't come off. The only way to remove it is to have the curse lifted by Carter at the church. Also, cursed tools suck up a lot of stamina. Tool Name: Where to get: How to Bless: C.Fishing Rod Level 29 Use 225 times C.Hoe Level 39 Have Carter bless it 10 times C.Axe Level 49 Use 225 times C.Hammer Level 59 Equip 10 days straight C.Watering Can Level 69 Bless 10 times C.Sickle Level 79 Equip 10 days straight TIP: For cursed tools that need to be used 225 times, you can do this during a festival since you NEVER collapse during a festival. Make sure you're in the venue. This also works with some CHARACTER EVENTS. Also, for those that needed to be equipped 10 days STRAIGHT, that's exactly what you have to do so you can only gather stuff until the 10 days is over. DO NOT HAVE CARTER REMOVE THE CURSED TOOL at any point in time until the 10 days is over. It's best you enlist the help of the harvest sprites. <> These are tools whose curse has been lifted. Meaning, they were once your cursed tools. The obvious advantages are that they don't suck up as much stamina and you can remove them whenever you like. <> These are the most powerful tools in the game and they suck up less stamina than the blessed tools. Requirements are a TRUCKLOAD of money, all 6 blessed tools and a Mythic stone for the tool you want to make Mythic. You can get the Mythic stone by going to the Spring Mine and digging around level 60 and some lower. These ores will only appear once you have all your cursed tools turned to blessed tools. Want the easy way out? Go to the MAKING MONEY Section under the GOLD-DIGGER chapter and check out the Mythic Money tip (needs emulator). Yes, you can get the Mythic stones through there without all the trouble of digging up in mines where the possibility of getting one is very slim. Also, if you follow that Mythic Money tip, you don't have to have all 6 of the blessed tools. Just have enough money and Mythic stones to use for upgrading. The cheats are provided in the later part of this guide. Get around 24 mythic stones from the H.Goddess Rock-Paper-Scissors game in your Vacation House/Town Cottage. That's four for each tool. Why? One is for upgrading while the other 3 you can ship. That's 60,000G all in all since one upgrade to Mythic costs 50,000G. That way, you earn an extra 10,000G per tool. Great way to make money! That means the upgrading is practically free! It's like Saibara's paying you 10,000G to get your tool upgraded to Mythic! (Mwahahahaha! Revenge on the old fart! Hehehe...) Want the even EASIER way out? There are cheats in the BREAKING THE CODES section where you can have all 6 mythic tools even at the beginning of the game! Cool, huh? ________________________________________________________________________________ VI. SPECIAL ITEMS: +Power Berries+ These are berries which give you more stamina. Think of it as an energy level. Hehehe. You can find it all over the game. <> - Dig in your field - Throw an egg in the H.Goddess Spring for several days - Win the horse race. Make sure you don't have anything in your hands. - Win the frisbee contest. Practice with your dog beforehand to make sure he wins. - Use Mystrile Pole to fish it at the dock - The T.V. Shopping network will sell it for 10,000G if you bought everything they sell (and I mean EVERYTHING) - When Mother's Hill Lake freezes, go behind the cave and hit the A button - Dig in level 19 of Winter/Lake Mine - Dig in 100th level of Spring Mine <> - Throw a cucumber in Mother's Hill Lake for 10 days straight. The Kappa will give you a blue power berry, which decreases the effect of bad weather on your health +Special Gems+ These are special orbs that can help you a lot esp. with your health. I'll tell you where and how to find it here. 1.)Truth Gems - Black orbs. Once you collect all 9, you won't need to go to the Clinic for check-ups Where/How to get: - Exchange for 1000 medals at the horse race - Buy for 50,000G from Won - 2nd floor of the library, middle shelves, furthest shelf to the right - Lamp post between the church and the path to Rose Square - Look in horse's trough in stable - Examine your doghouse (once you have your house upgraded) - Play New Year's TV gameshow in your Vacation House/Town Cottage - Investigate the Calendar in your Mountain Cottage - Take 8 gems of truth to the Mayor's house and investigate his refrigerator 2.) Goddess Gem - Collect 9 of these white orbs and it will restore some stamina as time passes. You can find them in rocks. SPRING MINE - Levels: 60,102,123,152,155,171,190,202,222 3.) Kappa Gem - Collect 9 of these green orbs and you'll be rejuvenated from your fatigue as time passes. WINTER MINE - Levels: 0,40,60,80,120,140,160,180,255 +The Seven Rings+ Do I hear someone in the back mumbling "My precious"? Hehehe. No, this ain't a LoTR kind of thing, but there are 7 rings which you can collect throughout the game. You can acquire these after finishing some tasks. The rings don't serve much purpose though, other than each one is worth 30 Heroine points. Mailbox Ring - This ring just appears in your mailbox one day. Thanksgiving Ring - During the Winter 14 Thanksgiving, make sure you give these boys some chocolate: Cliff, Doctor, Gray, Rick (Kai's in the city). By the Spring 14 Thanksgiving, the first guy to come to your house (to give you cookies) will give you one of the rings instead. This can also happen if the guy has a red heart for you by the Spring Thanksgiving, though you didn't give him chocolate the previous winter. Also note that the ring CAN be received from Kai through checking the mailbox first before getting the Spring Thanksgiving present from the guy in front of your doorstep. Starry Night Ring - The first time you participate in the Starry Night Festival (Winter 23&24), the guy you chose to dine with will give you one of the rings. Wedding Ring - Obvious, isn't it? You get this after your wedding. You don't get to see your hubby put it on your finger or anything. You'll just see it in your EARNINGS menu. Wife's Birthday Ring - On your first birthday as a married woman, your husband will give you this ring as a present. 10th Year Anniversary Ring - After you've been married for 10 years, you're husband will give you this as an anniversary gift 10,000,000 steps - Once you've acquired that number of steps in your pedometer, the H.Goddess will appear and give you a ring. +Specialty Items+ For the most part, I got these off cheats. Except for Van's Favorite Thing and the Goddess Gift, the rest of the items here can be retrieved by connecting to Gamecube's Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life and giving "Van" his "Favorite Thing" so he'll be able to sell those special items for you. Van's Favorite Thing - You'll receive a note in the mail, saying you've won the lottery. The prize you get is Van's favorite thing(looks like Karen's wine from FoMT). You're supposed to take it to Van but unless you're able to connect to Gamecube's Another Wonderful Life, you won't be able to do so. Instead, you can keep it in your shelf or sell it to Won for 48,000-57,000G(this only happens if you've unlocked Won's selling feature) You'll win the lottery ever so often so I suggest you start collecting these bottles to gain more income. Goddess Gift - You'll recall this as Elli's pressed flower in the boy version. It is said that this thing is rare, but not valuable. The latter part is wrong. Indeed, this pretty white flower is rare, but IT IS valuable! You can sell it to Won for 1 million G!!! How do you get it? You need to give the Harvest Goddess 10 Mystery flower (aka Queen of the Night/ White flower), which blooms at the peak of Mother's Hill on summer nights. You can get this after an event with Ellen. See CHARACTER EVENTS for more details. The easiest way to get the flower, however, is to play Won's Apple Game. After the final event with him, you can challenge Won to an apple shuffle. If you win 10 times in a row, he'll stop the game, say you're no ordinary farmer and gives you a Queen of the Night instead of the usual tickets. Thanks to timmytation for this info! TV Changer - You'll recall this as Popuri's Mudball in the boy version. This thing is used to fast forward the episodes of extra shows (My Dear Princess, Aaron Changes, Mechabot Ultror, etc) and it also works with the TV in your cottage(though this doesn't affect the TV Shopping Network). To use, hold the TV Changer in your hands and approach the TV. When you get to the extra channel, press A and you'll be able to surf through the episodes. Shopping Master - You'll recall this as Ann's Broken Music Box in the boy version. This thing is quite possibly the most useful specialty item of all. You can shop at all shops, even Van's Wednesday shop (even if you don't have AWL) through the comfort of your own home and at any time. Just hold it in your hands and "Talk" to your mirror. It's also the most valuable item in the game, worth 999,999,999G if you sell it to Won!!!! (and so goes my theory of Ann being the one meant for the boy in FoMT). Sorry. Only usable in your farmhouse. Riddle Book - You'll recall this as Mary's Great Book in the boy version. It's a quiz book with some rather interesting and difficult questions. To use it, hold it up your hands and check out the farthest left shelf on the first floor of the library. If you get all 100 questions right, it will Congratulate you and say your farming game points have gone up, though I didn't see any change in my Farm Degree points. Weird. All About Books - You'll recall this as the Plant Encyclopedia in the boy version. It has every book in the library, and even contains info on some HM: Another Wonderful Life characters. To use it, hold it up your hands and check out the farthest left shelf on the first floor of the library. All About Letters - You'll recall this as the Harvest Goddess 100 wins book in the boy version. It's a book that contains all the letters you will ever receive in the game. To use it, hold it up your hands and check out the farthest left shelf on the first floor of the library. All About BGM - This is a recording of all BGMs in the game. You'll only be able to listen for a moment though, and you can't use the music here as your farm's background music. Put it in the record player to listen. For the most part, I got the TV Changer, Shopping Master, Riddle Book, All About Books, All About Letters, and All about BGM off cheats, since I don't have a gamecube but you can buy it if you connect to Gamecube's HM: Another Wonderful Life. Go to Van and give him that bottle you won in the lottery (Van's Favorite Thing). WARNING! Make sure you already have over 1 MILLION G in your invoice so that the item will be available. If your money is lower than 1 MILLION, Van will only offer to sell you Van's Favorite Thing for 10,000g, which is a rip-off considering you gave him one for free. Be careful with this! To those who do not have Gamecube or AWL, you can only get the other items thru cheats. Thanks a million to sierramut, for giving me the info on how to acquire these. ________________________________________________________________________________ VII. PLACES & SUCH: +Maps+ This is a simple enough map, which indicates some important locations in the game. You'll just have to search for the rivers and stuff yourself.

PREPARING YOUR FARM: +Preparing the Land+ The farm has really been neglected for a long long time. That means a ton of work for you. Here are some things you may have to do. 1.) Break boulders (upgrade your hammer 'til Mystrile or Gold) 2.) Break/remove rocks (your current hammer can break small rocks) 3.) Chop large tree trunks (upgrade your axe 'til Mystrile or Gold) 4.) Chop/remove branches (your current axe can break small rocks) 5.) Remove weeds (cutting with a sickle is good, but it takes stamina) Yes, you may have to do a lot of upgrades before you can get your farm ready. I suggest you finish upgrading your tools and preparing at least 1/4 or 1/6 of your land area before you start planting. Me, I finished all the preparations in 8 days by working non-stop. Just take a dip in the hot springs to rejuvenate. Don't have money for upgrading your tools? Check out the MAKING MONEY section in the lower part of the guide. +Planting Crops+ Once you have prepared the land, it's time to plant your crops. Buy seeds from the Supermarket on the northern part of town or from Won (Zack's House). Till your land with your HOE (if you're playing the first time, you'll very likely find a POWER BERRY). _ _ _ |_|_|_| |_|_|_| |_|_|_| Yup, a 3x3 square since that's the maximum perimeter per bag of seeds. Refer to this as one patch. You'll also have to make sure that your other patches aren't as close. That way, you can still water and harvest your crops. For a more organized farm, this is my suggestion: - = Crop V = Grass ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV As you can see, I have the crops and grass in ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV alternate portions so that I can easily harvest and ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV water my crops. It may not be as good as others, but VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV it looks prettier. VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV VVV---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV ---VVVVVVVVV---VVVVVVVVV Here's some alternative planting formation as sent by Ryan Ryttie "For rapidly raising cash (at the beginning) there is no beating the first two layouts, except of course for using a full 9 crop, which 'wastes' half your farm land, but at the begining you just don't have the stamina anyways..." X - crop/seed - empty land/undug land XXX XX XXX XXX X X XXX XXX X XXX +Fencing it Up+ Just like the first Harvest Moon game, you can put up fences to protect your farm against wild dogs. I don't really bother with these though. Not only is it a waste of time and lumber, you have to maintain it: taking it down when it rots and replacing it. Sure, your animals will be safe, but who says you have to let your animals out all the time? I myself keep my animals only in my barn and I still end up with ten hearts (though it does take longer to get this). But if you want your sheep and cows outside all the time to get more wool and milk, build the fence. You can also just let your dog out. Try letting it out once a wild dog is out. It's fun to watch! To make a fence, simply take some lumber from your woodbin and put it on your land. NOT THE GRASSY PART! The land you have to till. You can return the lumber if you like by picking it up and returning it to the woodbin. An advantage of getting your animals out is that you don't need to feed them (if you have mature grass in the fenced area). Another, is that their affection for you will rise quicker. Also, if they spend 600+ game hours (or a little over 25 days, as added by JTR1029. Thanks!) outside, they'll eventually produce (P)products and on occassion,(X)products, which both sell for a lot of money. Just get your animals in during bad weather, as they won't produce anything and they'll hate you. And don't believe the myth that a rotten fence works as well as the good fence. Once your fence rots, a wild dog CAN ENTER the area and scare your animals. I saw this myself and had to whack it with a hammer. Always replace rotting fences to prevent this. And don't be tempted to use the Golden Lumber! There is however, one sure fire way to prevent wild dogs from entering your fenced area and keep your animals safe: the stones. By using the stones as your fences, the wild dogs will forever be kept at bay, especially since the stones, of course, don't rot. But there are only a few in your farm. You'll get more stones from hurricanes. This was suggested to me by Nate Bodine a while back but I didn't want to put it in the guide without actually testing it for myself and so I did and voila! The wild dog can't enter! You, your horse, and your dog are the only ones (aside from the Harvest Sprites) who can go in and out of the stone-fenced area. Thanks Nate! This one was sent in by many gamers (far too many to mention and filled up half my mailbox). You can actually use branches as alternatives for the stones! They keep the dogs away and they don't rot too! I tried it out myself. I use it to fence my chickens. Thanks to all those who sent in this useful tip. You helped me there too :) Of course, not everything in the game is perfect. Every 3 days or so, an animal or a few more can get out of the stone fence but don't worry. This only happens during mornings, a long long time before a wild dog gets to them. Just see to your farm in the farm map every morning to find out how many got out. Then, bring a bell and get 'em back in the fence. ________________________________________________________________________________ X.

This is for farm beautification or if you want the flowers to be closer so you can quickly give 'em to the townspeople. Also, unlike the boy version, these flowers can be sold directly to Won. Oh, and some flowers rejuvenate your stamina. I plant a lot of flowers and found that it takes longer for me to pass out. That's just me so I dunno about you. The flower that rejuvenates the most is the Autumn Red Magic Grass (not blue!). I recommend buying these if you're rich enough. The only important thing to buy here is GRASS for your animals.

FISHERY Fishing is one of the many ways you can earn money in this game. To fish, you'll of course, need a fishing rod. Just go to Zack's house. You'll see an event wherein he gives you the fishing rod for free (see CHARACTER EVENTS). You can then start fishing. Of course, you'll have to upgrade your rod to catch the bigger fishes. The fishing rod is considered as one of the hardest things to upgrade (see TOOLS GRAPH in your EARNINGS MENU) since it can take a while. The best you can do is stand by the Hot Springs and press B over and over again. Once you turn blue, jump in the hotsprings to recuperate. I once sacrificed a day's worth just to have my fishing rod jump upgrade to mystrile. **For more info on the Fishing rod, see TOOLS (scroll up). **Note that for rod levels, you need at least that to catch the specified fish. Once you catch the fish, you don't have to store it in your fridge. You now have a fish pond (formerly a watering hole in the boy version) and it holds 100 of each fish (small, medium or large). Just approach the north side, press A and choose a fish. +River Fishes+ These are fishes you can find, where else, in the river! There are two parts: Upstream, which is the river connected to Mother's Hill Lake, and Downstream, which are the rivers found in the town (Poultry, Yodel and your Farm). *Downstream - Down *Upstream - Up Fish Species: Rod Level: Where: Season: Bighead Mystrile Down All Bitterling Normal Down All Black Bass Gold Up/Down Spring, Summer, Fall Bluegill Normal Up/Down Spring, Summer, Fall Brown Hakeling Normal Down Spring, Summer, Winter Cherry Salmon Normal Up Spring, Fall Eel Mystrile Down Summer, Fall Fat Minnow Normal Up All Golden Carp Normal Down Spring, Summer, Fall Large Salmon Copper Up Spring, Fall Lake Smelt Normal Down Winter Mountain Trout Gold Up Spring, Summer, Fall Rainbow Trout Mystrile Up All Roach Normal Down Spring, Fall Salmon Gold Down Summer, Fall Silver Carp Copper Down Spring, Summer Snakehead Mystrile Down Summer, Fall Whitefish Copper Down All +Lake Fishes+ That's right.

The site of the beautiful Harvest Goddess Falls and the "shrine" to the Harvest Goddess. Other than offering stuff, you can fish here as well. Just remember not to throw in your junk and discarded fishes in here, as the goddess will think it's an offering (and hate you for it). Fishes here can also be fished off the lake and rivers (except Silver Carp).

MINING BUSINESS: I dunno if this was the source of Mineral Town's name, but it's in the mines where you can find minerals and ores which are very important in the game. There are two mines: Spring Mine and the Winter/Lake Mine. Here's a list of the mines and what can be found in them. You'll need your hoe to dig up the ground and your hammer to break the rocks. You may also want to get some stamina recovering items like black grass (which you can dig up in mines, eat immediately)or if you want to go deep down, you can buy BODIGIZERXL and TURBOJOLTXL from the Clinic. Use these wisely. The best item to use however, is the Elli Leaves. <> Name: Level: Copper All Silver All Gold 3 & lower Mystrile 7 & lower Orichalc 10 & lower Adamantite 10 & lower Mythic Stones 60 only Power Berry 100 (dig w/ hoe) Teleport Stone 255 (found only in the 3rd year and after. Found in rocks) *Gem of Goddess - Collect 9 of these white orbs and it will restore some stamina over a period of time. You can find them in rocks. - Levels: 60,102,123,152,155,171,190,202,222 <> +Minerals+ Name: Level: Agate All except 50,100,150,200 Alexandrite 50,100,150,200,251 & lower Amethyst All except 50,100,150,200 Diamond Floors that end in 0 Emerald Floors that end in 5 Moon Stone Floors that end in 8 Peridot All except 50,100,150,200 Pink Diamond 30,70,90,110,130,170,190,& 255 Ruby All except 50,100,150,200 Sand Rose Floors that end in 9 Topaz All except 50,100,150,200 +Cursed Tools+ (dig w/ hoe) Name: Level: C.Fishing Rod 29 C.Hoe 39 C.Axe 49 C.Hammer 59 C.Watering Can 69 C.Sickle 79 *Gem of Kappa - Collect 9 of these green orbs and you'll be rejuvenated from your fatigue as time passes. - Levels: 0,40,60,80,120,140,160,180,255 NOTE: These can be found at random so don't blame me if you can't find it. Careful not to go up the stairs immediately 'coz you'll go back to the surface. SEARCHING FOR STAIRS TIP: Just to save you a bit of energy, there are places in the mine wherein you can NEVER find the stairs going down: it's the perimeter around the stairs going up. Here's what I mean: X = Stairs going up/Where you came from o = No stairs here EVER ooo oXo I think this was fixed during the game programming, so you can ooo still manage to walk some spaces. ________________________________________________________________________________ XIII. FURNITURE & SUCH +Big Bed+ This is one of the most important furnitures of the game. It's where you sleep. You can buy a bigger bed from the T.V. Shopping Network. Buy it if you want to get married. +Bookshelf+ It's where your books and letters are stored. Books can be acquired once you've purchased something new. The books are actually very useful tutorials. Think of it as a mini-library. The letters, on the other hand, are mail that you get from your mailbox. Once you investigate your mailbox, all your letters will immediately be put here so you can read them again. +Mirror+ Unlike in the boy version, wherein the mirror only tells you about the day and your current physical condition, this time, the mirror allows you to change the color of your overalls! Choose from the default blue or the other options: blue, pink, red, green, white and orange. I personally prefer pink. Makes my character more feminine. Frequently changing your clothes will impress the boys. By changing clothes, I mean talk to him in one outfit, change, then talk to him again. +Clock+ Indicates the exact hours and minutes of the day. +Calendar+ Indicates dates, seasons and festivals, as well as the schedules for these. +Record Player+ Plays different music/bgms from record plaques. Connect to HM: Another Wonderful Life on Gamecube and buy it from Lou/Ban. +Television+ Who can live without it? You can't 'coz you'll need it for a lot of things. To turn on the TV, walk up to it, press B and surf the channels using the directional buttons. Some channels are only available for a specific period of time. +Main Stay Channels+ 1.)Weather Channel - forecasts tomorrow's weather. Announces rains, storms and blizzards. - press UP 2.)Announcements - Announces festivals of the season - press RIGHT 3.)Tutorial Channel- Where there are tutorials for beginners and advanced users - press DOWN +Extra Channels+ I won't put up those unimportant channels like Mechabot Ultror and Aaron changes...stuff like that 'coz it's a waste of space. T.V. Shopping Network (press LEFT) - This channel is available in your farm house every Saturday until you have bought every item they sell. Then, they don't air and will be replaced by St. Emerald's Academy. If you haven't bought everything they sold, they will air again the next year. To buy item/s, go to Doug's Inn and use the phone on the counter. Here are the products and their prices: Name: Price: Mirror 1000G Clock 2000G Refrigerator 2500G Shelves 2500G Kitchen 4000G Pot 1000G Mixer 1200G Whisk 500G Rolling Pin 750G Oven 2500G Seasoning Set 2500G Knife 1500G Frying Pan 1200G Large Bed 10,000G Carpet 5000G Power Berry 10,000G (you can only buy this if you bought everything else) H.Goddess New Year's Game Show (press LEFT) - Available in the first five days of Spring. This is where you guess if the number is higher or lower. The more the wins, the better the prize. Here's a list: Wins: Prize: 1 nothing 2 a type of grass/herb 3-9 rice cake or buckwheat flour 10+ Relaxation Tea Leaves 15+ Sun Block 20+ Skin Lotion 25+ Facial pack 30+ Perfume 40+ Dress 50+ Golden Lumber 60+ Fish Fossil 70+ Pirate Treasure 80+ Ketchup Recipe 90+ French Fries 100 High/Low 100 wins (Band-aid) Mineral Town Friends (press LEFT; only in Vacation House) - Every Wednesday. This is where you learn all about the residents of Mineral Town, their personalities, families and birthdays. Rock-Paper-Scissors Gameshow (press LEFT; only in Vacation House) - Every Saturday. This is where you play the rock-paper-scissors game with the H.Goddess. She gives out some great prizes too. Here's a list: Wins: Prize: 1 nothing 2 a type of grass/herb 3-9 rice cake or buckwheat flour 10+ Elli Leaves (recovers stamina & fatigue) 20+ Alexandrite 30+ Pink Diamond 40+ Mythic Stone 50+ Unused Item 60+ Unused Item 70+ Unused Item 80+ Unused Item 90+ Unused Item 100 R-P-S Certificate **The unused items are record plaques for your record player but they don't play anything at all. But unlike in the boy version, you can sell these to Won for a TON of money!!! Prices for unused items don't go lower than 500,000G and the R-P-S Certificate itself is worth 1 million G! +Refrigerator+ This is where you can store food items. It has 32 slots all in all and in each slot, you can store up to 99 of one item. +Shelf+ This is where you can store non-food items likes ores, branches, flowers, accessories and such. Like the fridge, it has 32 slots all in all and in each slot, you can store up to 99 of one item. +Makers+ Makers are machines that instantly convert one product to another, more expensive product. There are three makers in this game: Cheese Maker = turns milk into cheese Yarn Maker = turns wool into yarn Mayonnaise Maker = turns eggs into mayonnaise To get a maker, go to Saibara, the blacksmith and have him make one for you. The requirements are as follows: - fully expanded chicken coop and/or barn - one adamantite per maker - 20,000G per maker It's expensive, I know. But well worth it once you have the gold eggs, gold wool and gold milk 'coz it sells for more and it lasts a lifetime. +The Bath+ Once you have fully expanded your farm, you can ask Gotz to make you a bath. This is where you can rejuvenate a bit of stamina and fatigue though it takes 30 minutes of your (game)time. +Vase+ Put flowers in to rejuvenate stamina. Buy from Won. I highly recommend the Red Magic Grass which grows in fall, since it rejuvenates +10 stamina. +Kitchen+ Cook Food here. Buy the complete set from the TV Shopping Network. ________________________________________________________________________________ XIV. GOLD-DIGGER: +Making Money+ If you're just starting off on the game and have not yet upgraded or planted anything in your farm, here are some ways to make quick bucks. NOTE: Cheat codes are provided in the later part of the guide. 1.) 250,000G in one week (needs vba emulator) - During the first five days of spring, the H.Goddess will have a New Year's game show where you'll have to guess if the number is higher or lower. Just surf the channels by going to your TV, press the B button and use the directional buttons to locate the H. Goddess show (try pressing the RIGHT button constantly). Play the New Year's Game Show. Save game state(Shift+F1) then guess. If you get it wrong, hit F1 and it will take you back to before you got the answer wrong. Just keep trying until you get it right. Play until 70 wins to get the Pirate Treasure, which is worth 10,000G. Play 5 times(since the show runs 5 times a day) and you get 50,000G a day, which is 250,000G in 5 days. Sure, it may get monotonous, but if you want quick bucks, this is the way to do it. You can also try for 25,000G a day or 125,000G in five days by winning until 60 to get the Fish Fossil worth 5000G. Another one would be for 10,000G a day or 50,000G in 5 days by winning until 10 to get the Relaxation Tea Leaves worth 2000G. Just remember to play the game 5 times a day. 2.) Free Money - I dunno why I named this that. It's mostly 'coz you get these money making items for free in places in town. Gather as many medicinal herbs as you can 'coz they sell quite well. Fishes are great sources of money too but you'll need to upgrade your pole to get bigger fishes. Mushrooms, esp. poisonous ones, sell a lot. Digging in the mines also helps. There's also honey every morning at the tree in your farm. If you turn blue, simply go to sleep, go to your bath or dip in the hotspring for a few hours. 3.) Non-stop Mine Digging - Dig in the mines (preferably Winter Mine) and fill your basket and rucksack with expensive minerals. Dig up as much gold coins as you can too(which doesn't take a slot in your rucksack and is instantly added to your invoice)until you turn blue. Then, go to hotspring and dip for 2-3 hours(game time)before going back to the mine and digging up again (empty your rucksack first by putting items in your shelf) 4.) Horse Race Gamble - During the Spring and Fall Horse Festivals, place your bets and win lots of medals. Exchange the medals for broaches, which sells for 2,000G each (necklaces cost the same but it takes 20 medals so broaches, which takes only 18, costs less but sells for the same price). Fill up your rucksack and your basket. You can even carry an extra one in your hands. WARNING: If you entered the festival with your horse and won for the first time, you must not have anything in your hands or else you won't get the Power Berry. 5.) Crop Madness - In spring, plant cabbages (250G a piece) and lots of turnips (prepare for busy weeks since it grows very fast) - In summer, plant pineapples (500G a piece), preferably 8 patches. Buy pineapple seeds from Won during spring so you can plant it as early as the first day of summer. That way, you can harvest twice since it takes 20 days for these money-making babies to grow. - In Fall, plant Sweet Potatoes. Lots and lots of it! You can even make this the exclusive crop for your farm (at least during the season). It grows fast and costs a lot (120G a piece). Get ready for busy weeks 'coz you're gonna need a lot of time harvesting everything 6.) Non-stop Fishing - During the Summer Beach Festival, you can fish without wasting time or stamina. Just bring your basket with you and fish lots of fish. If you have the blessed or mythic fishing rod, you can fill your basket with pirate treasure. Another festival wherein you can do this is the Summer Fireworks Festival. WARNING!!! If you already have a husband, DO NOT FISH DURING FESTIVALS! If you do, his affection rate for you WILL drop. 7.) Mythic Money (needs vba emulator) - You can only get this in the later parts of the game, when you have the Vacation House. You can use cheats to earn loads of cash and get the V.House early. Anyway, once in the V. House, you get a T.V with 3 different channels. Every Saturday, the Harvest Goddess plays the Rock- Paper-Scissors game with you. Just like tip#1, save game state(Shift+F1) then guess. If you get it wrong, hit F1 and it will take you back to before you got the answer wrong. Just keep trying until you get it right. Play until 40 wins to get the Mythic Stone, which is worth 20,000G! If you don't want to use it for upgrades, you can ship it. Problem is, you can only play this once a day. You may also play up to 20 to get the Alexandrite(10,000G) or 30 to get the Pink Diamond(10,000G) 8.) Bargaining with Won - This is one of the latest features of the mineral town series. After the second event with Won, you'll be able to sell your products to him, mostly, at a higher price. Just be careful not to get tricked into selling for lower. To sell, bring your items in your rucksack and hands. Approach Won's Orange box counter and talk to him from there. Select the selling feature. Make sure you have the item in your hands. Won will name a price and you can either agree or not. I suggest you try and sell expensive stuff like the pink diamond since he throws in some major incentive to it. But just be careful. This guy can be sneaky. 9.) 25 MILLION G in one week (needs vba emulator) - You heard me. I said 25 MILLION G! Too good to be true but it's true! However, this only happens if you've unlocked Won's selling feature. During the first five days of spring, the H.Goddess will have a New Year's game show where you'll have to guess if the number is higher or lower. Just surf the channels by going to your TV, press the B button and use the directional buttons to locate the H. Goddess show (try pressing the RIGHT button constantly). Play the New Year's Game Show. Save game state(Shift+F1) then guess. If you get it wrong, hit F1 and it will take you back to before you got the answer wrong. Just keep trying until you get it right. Play until 100 wins to get the H.G High/Low 100 wins, which is worth 1 MILLION G when you sell it to Won! Play 5 times (since the show runs 5 times a day) and you get 5 MILLION G a day, which is 25 MILLION G in 5 days. Sure, it may get monotonous, but if you want quick bucks, this is the way to do it. Just remember to play the game 5 times a day and sell it to Won, not to Zack (shipping box). 10.) 1 MILLION G per week (needs vba emulator) - This only happens if you've unlocked Won's selling feature and when you have the Vacation House/Town Cottage. Once in the V. House, you get a T.V with 3 different channels. Every Saturday, the Harvest Goddess plays the Rock-Paper-Scissors game with you. Just like tip#1, save game state (Shift+F1) then guess. If you get it wrong, hit F1 and it will take you back to before you got the answer wrong. Just keep trying until you get it right. Play until 100 wins to get the R-P-S Certificate, which is worth 1 MILLION G when you sell it to Won! Problem is, you can only play this once a day. You may also play up to 40 to get the Mythic stone (20,000G), 20 to get the Alexandrite(10,000G) or 30 to get the Pink Diamond(10,000G). But better choices would be the unused items ranging from 50-90+ wins, worth no less than 580,000G-970,000G. Just remember to sell it to Won, not to Zack (shipping box). 11.) Lottery winner - This only happens if you've unlocked Won's selling feature. Some time in Winter, you'll receive a note in the mail, saying you've won the lottery. The prize you get is Van's favorite thing(looks like Karen's wine from FoMT). You're supposed to take it to Van but unless you're able to connect to Gamecube's Another Wonderful Life, you won't be able to do so. Instead, you can keep it in your shelf or sell it to Won for 48,000-57,000G! You'll win the lottery ever so often so I suggest you start collecting these bottles. 12.) Helping the Mayor - This only happens if you've unlocked Won's selling feature. Sometimes, Mayor Thomas will come over and ask you a favor. If you succeed in the task, he'll give you a Golden lumber, which you can sell to Won for 48,000-57,000G! He'll ask favors ever so often so I suggest you start collecting these lumber. Nice to be helpful, ain't it? +Sold+ Here's a listing of the things you can sell and how much they are worth. Unlike in FoMT, this time, after one of his events, you can actually sell stuff directly to Won, mostly at a higher price! For animal products, this depends on the day. For other items, it's a touch and go thing. Just keep turning down offers 'til you're satisfied with the price. But the profit may sometimes only amount to 30G more than Zack's and you have to rush to Won's shop and sell stuff to him individually. You can have your pick of Won and Zack, depending on your need for extra income. <> Name: Season: Zack's Price: Won's Prices: Turnip Spring 60 Potato Spring 80 Cucumber Spring 60 Strawberry Spring 30 Cabbage Spring 250 Tomato Summer 60 Corn Summer 100 Onion Summer 60 Pumpkin Summer 250 Pineapple Summer 500 Eggplant Fall 80 Carrot Fall 60 Sweet Potato Fall 20 Spinach Fall 80 Green Pepper Fall 40 Red Magic Grass** Fall 200 **Buy Magic Seeds from Won and plant A LOT of it. It is only through planting lots of the Blue Magic Grass will you get the Red Magic Grass, which is the only shippable flower. It grows at random so I don't know exactly how many bags you have to buy and plant to get these rare flowers.

Slumber Party - This event happens once you buy the big bed. Just before you dive under the covers, you hear an unexpected knock on the door. All the rival girls barge in the house. They've heard about your big bed and came to see it. They then decide to have a slumber party and you agree but the bed doesn't hold all 5 of them so they decide to leave. After that, you can finally go to sleep. Cooking for Friends - This event happens once you expand your house and buy the kitchen. Go to your complete kitchen and try to cook after 8AM. There'll be a knock on the door and the rival girls will enter the house. They wanna see your cooking skills first hand and so they each take a seat and wait for you to whip up something. Each girl will ask for a different dish so talk to them to find out what it is. If you're able to cook the dish and give it to the girl, you'll increase your friendship with her. This event may be triggered more than once. Here's a list of their requested food: Ann - Cheese Fondue, Hotcake, or Mushroom Rice Elli - Hot Milk, Sandwich, or Strawberry Milk Karen - Fried Potato, Popcorn, or Tempura Mary - Chocolate Cake, Relaxation Tea, or Veggie Juice Popuri - Fried Rice, Omlette, or Scrambled Eggs +Individual Girl Events+ If these events seem familiar to you, that's 'coz these are the Black Heart events for the boy version. Name: Schedule/Events: Ann - Any day bet. 10:40AM-1PM; Doug's Inn Walk into the inn. Ann will welcome you and have her dad give you a free meal. Agree to have the meal and she and Doug will be delighted. Of course, Doug says it's only free the first time. Elli - Any day; Any time; Clinic Stu is in the clinic with Elli. Stu shows her a bug and Elli freaks out. She scolds Stu. Stu says that you understand him because you're still young at heart. Say 'not really'. Oh, he cries but Elli is happier that someone else reprimanded her bratty brother. Karen - Wed/Fri; 10AM-1PM; Supermarket Karen will welcome you to her store. She says how hard it must be for you in the farm and asks if you could use some help. Say yes and she goes to her dad and asks him to give you a bag of grass seeds free. Jeff starts to protest but Karen tells him they should share. You then receive the grass seeds free of charge. Mary - Any day except Monday; 10AM-1PM; Library Mary is thinking so hard about something, she didn't see you and almost bumped into you. She apologizes, saying that she had a lot on her mind. Ask her if you could help and she'll talk about it and stuff like that. Popuri - Wed/Fri; 10AM-6PM; Poultry Farm; As you exit from the Blacksmith shop You must not have anything in your hands. A chicken will run at you and you will catch it. Popuri will thank you and ask if you like chickens. Say yes and she'll be happy. +Character Events+ Just as there are Heart events with the bachelors(later part of the guide), you also have character events. I don't have the exact schedules of all of them since I'm still trying to make good friends with the people. If you can't see the event, it's either the weather is wrong or you haven't made good enough friends with the people around you. Also, I don't know how many events each character has so don't ask me. If you have additions/corrections, e-mail me and I'll credit you. WARNINGS: Spoilers ahead! *** All events are arranged randomly How to know if you're good friends: 1.) Change in the way he/she talks to you(for most characters) 2.) Allows you in the house/shop as early as 6AM(for some characters only) 3.) Allows you in rooms previously locked before 4.) Gives you a birthday card during your birthday(mailbox; for some characters) 5.) Gives you recipes (for most characters) Whack-A-Mole - Anytime; Have tillable soil If you have soil to till, prepare a hoe and a hammer (preferably, have only those two tools in your rucksack). Till the soil. Once you see a mole, quickly switch to the hammer (L+B) and whack it. A tally will appear in your Memo screen, along with the records for Harvest Sprite and Dog Disk scores. Free Horse - Spring; 1st yr; Your farm You have to talk to Barley first when you explore the town. The next day or so, he comes to your farm and offers you a horse. Take care of it well or else he takes it back. Goodbye Horse(?) - A year after you're given the horse; Neglect the horse If your horse has 6 or lower hearts, Barley will take it away from you and won't return it until the next year. Let that be a lesson to you. Magnificent Stallion - A year after you're given the horse; Take good care of your horse If you've taken really good care of your horse (if possible 8+ hearts), Barley will come over to look at him. He'll be impressed at how healthy the stallion is and seeing as how it seems to be so fond of you, decides to have it live with you forever. Animal Death - Anytime; Neglect your farm animals; Death by natural causes If you neglect your animals (aka not feed them), they will eventually get sick and die. You'll see a scene wherein Carter holds a funeral service for your animal, with either or both Rick and Barley bawling you out for your negligence. But if the animals die by natural causes (age), Rick and Barley will sympathize. Sick Little Doggy - Anytime; Have 0 hearts for your dog If your dog has absolutely no love for you, he'll get sick.

Once you fish him, he will do a spinny dance and disappear. 4:44AM TV - This is hard to trigger without a clock. Turn on your TV at exactly 4:44AM and you're game will freeze for a while as the channels zoom past your screen until you reach a blank fuzzy screen. Weird. This can be triggered several times. In the farm house only. Won's Arrival - Spring 3; 1st yr; the minute you step out of your house A strange salesman will be at your doorstep.

She'll tell you it's a surprise gift for her mom, whose birthday is coming soon (Spring 19). Popuri will ask you to keep it a secret. Promise you won't tell and she'll be happy. This also raises your friendship with Popuri and Zack. Carter's Answered Prayer - Church; Any time Go in the church. Carter will tell you that while he was in the confessional, he heard a voice say that the thing he wanted will come soon. Later, Zack enters the church and confirms this. What is it? It's a secret.
