This is my second guide so please, bear with my poor guide skills. The reason I made this guide is because I have seen so many questions about the animals! I hope my guide will clear things up. =========================================== II. Basics =========================================== Animals are an essential part of any productive ranch. What's a farm without animals anyway? Not only are animals good for income, but their products can be used for cooking and gifts! Not only that, but you can enter your animals in festivals to win Wonderfuls! The first thing you need to do is to make enough money to build a barn or chicken coop, and then you must purchase animals from Mirabelle But I'll cover the buildings in a bit. First we need to cover the controls: Touchscreen-tap to use tools, raise affection, walk, and distribute food. D-pad and A, B, Y and X-these just allow you to use your specific animal tools. =========================================== III. Affection =========================================== Raising affection is done by doing everyday things such as milking. The more affection the animal has the better chance you have at winning the festivals and the better ranked products you get! There are five things that will raise your animals affection: Petting/picking up/riding your animal: This is done by tapping the animal while you are right next to it. Doing this raises the animal's affection and, if you have a cow, will allow you to check on how the animal feels. Also every so often you will see an icon over the animal that looks like a hand. Once you touch the animal, you will be sent to a screen with a close view of the animal. With your stylus, you can now touch the animal and make it happy! The best way to do this is to perform fast, tight circles with your stylus. This will get the animal happier! There is no time limit, so take as long as you want. Feeding your animal: This is an everyday task that MUST be performed if you want to keep your animal alive and receive products. The fodder can be bought or grown in your field, while the chicken and pet feed must be purchased from Mirabelle. Brushing and curing: Brushing isn't really an essential task, but it is good quick affection raising. It can only be used on animals that are big enough so chickens can't receive this extra affection boost. Brushing also reduces the stress on the animal. If your animal gets sick for whatever reason, then animal medicine from Mirabelle is the first thing you should get! Give the medicine to the animal to make it feel better and make sure it doesn't happen again! Letting your animals outside: Letting your animals outside on a non-rainy day is a great way to raise affection and relieve animal stress. Also, if you grow Grass, then you won't have to feed your animals that day you put them outside. HOWEVER, be aware that you must bring your animals inside when the day is done or they might be hassled by the wild dogs! Milking/Shearing: That's right! Getting products from your animals actually makes them happy! So you get money and affection everytime! =========================================== IV. Buildings =========================================== Before you can get animals, you have to hire Gannon to build the appropriate buildings. I will list the buildings and their upgrades along with any materials you need. Chicken Coop: Actual construction: 200 lumber and 10,000 G OR 20,000 G 1st Upgrade: 400 lumber and 5,000 G OR 20,000 G 2nd Upgrade: 1,200 lumber and 20,000 G OR 70,000 G Feeder Box: 100 lumber and 500 G OR 5,000 G Incubator: 200 lumber and 500 G OR 10,000 G 1st Upgrade of Feed Dispenser: 1,000 lumber and 5,000 G OR 50,000 G 2nd Upgrade of Feed Dispenser: 3,000 lumber and 30,000 G OR 170,000 G Shipping Bin 200 lumber and 1,000 G OR 10,000 G Barn: Actual construction: 200 lumber and 12,000 G OR 22,000 G 1st Upgrade: 500 lumber and 7,000 G OR 30,000 G 2nd Upgrade: 2,000 lumber and 30,000 G OR 125,000 G Add Feeder Bin 100 Lumber and 5,000 G OR 5,000 G Birthing Pen: 200 lumber and 500 G OR 10,000 G Upgrade of Feed Dispenser: 1,500 lumber and 7,000 G OR 80,000 G Shipping Bin: 200 lumber and 1,000 G OR 10,000 G Stable (you already have the stable): 1st upgrade of Feed Dispenser: 1,000 lumber and 5,000 G OR 50,000 G 2nd upgrade of Feed Dispenser: 3,000 lumber and 30,000 G OR 170,000 G =========================================== V. Chickens =========================================== Chickens are the most basic animals in the game. They are the cheapest to buy and easiest to breed, but their affection is hard to raise and their products aren't a very reliable source of income. Once you get your chicken coop, Taro will come by with a free chick and will also give you a chicken tutorial. After this, I suggest you go buy some chicken feed. If you want more chickens you can either A. get an Incubator and hatch one of your chicken eggs or B. simply buy a full-grown chicken from Mirabelle. A chicken will lay one egg every day as long as you feed it. This egg will start out at a very low quality (Rank C) but the Rank shall increase as the affection goes up. Thus giving you more money! After all of the expansions you SHOULD have a max of 12 chickens. However, I am not too sure about this. Any confirmations will be loved! =========================================== VI. Cows and Sheep =========================================== Cows are the first thing you should get in my opinion because their products are a better source of income. When you first get the barn, Taro will bring you a new pre-mature cow and give you a tutorial. I suggest buying fodder, a milker, a bell and a brush as soon as possible. To have a new born calf, you must give a full-grown cow a cow miracle potion. You must also have a birthing pen, I don't have an exact number on this, but I believe it takes about 15 days or so for a pre-mature cow to reach the milking stage. New-born cows take about a season or so to mature into a milking cow. Any confirmation on this would be helpful. Every so often, you will see a milker icon over your cow's head. Upon milking it, you will be sent to a mini-game where you will milk your cow. You will see a large milk bottle at the top along with your farmer. On the bottom screen, you will see your cow along with three icons that have milk sizes in them. To play, tap the blue paw print on the right when the arrow is over the milk bottle with the L in it. This will insure better milk rank. Be warned! The tempo gets faster with every tap that gets a "GOOD" message! And if you get a "BAD" message when you tap the paw, it means your timing is off and you will be punished with a small decrease in the amount of milk in the large bottle at the top. The notes are your time limit. However, if you fill the bottle ALL the way up, the mini-game will automatically stop and you will get the S-ranked milk! Cows are probably the easiest to increase affection. You can do each of the five affection increasing chores to make them like you more. Therefore, your milk rank will increase faster thus giving you more money! Sheep are somewhat similar to cows. They can be brushed, petted, and, unlike cows, sheared once a week. Sheep are also very different because they need to be unlocked. To unlock sheep, you must get 3 boy farmer sub-villagers to move to the island. This can be somewhat difficult. The requirements are things like: "Ship 100 Cheese" or "Have 4 Chickens on your farm." Other than unlocking them, sheep aren't really all that different. Although, I am not 100% sure, but I think sheep have a shearing mini-game. Once again, I am not sure. Confirmation would be appreciated. =========================================== VII. Horse and Dog =========================================== The horse and the dog do not produce anything that you can sell, but they DO have some very useful purposes: The horse is a great means of transportation. The horse doubles your speed making island travel a breeze! The dog has a unique purpose. If it has enough hearts, you can leave it outside and it will scare away the wild dogs that come to terrorize your animals! This feature of the dog protects your animals from getting scared. You cannot buy the horse and the dog. Instead, you must make friends with certain villagers: For the horse, you must make friends with Chen, the shop owner, and Charlie, his son. Chen is hard to make friends with early in the game because you do not have a kitchen. An easy way to get around this is to just simply talk to both of them everyday. When you have them at the appropriate friendship level, Charlie and Chen will come to your house in the morning and give you your new horse! For the dog, you must make friends with Mirabelle, the owner of the Animal shop. Talk to her everyday to increase her friendship points. When she is at about 2 hearts, walk into the Forest on a rainy or snowy day and you two will find a little dog! The horse and the dog are feed with Pet Food that you must buy from Mirabelle. The dog can be petted everyday to raise affection while the horse receives affection through riding and brushing. Now, I'm about 99% sure about this. Since there are only one of each, I assume that if you neglect these animals, they will not die. HOWEVER, I am NOT promoting anyone to do this! If you don't feed your pet, then they won't like you very much! =========================================== VIII. Festivals =========================================== There are many festivals in the game in which you can enter your animals. The day before each festival, Mirabelle will come by to ask which animal you would like to enter. When you choose, that animal will be taken away for a day. You will get it back at the end of the festival. Mirabelle will only accept adult animals! Here are all of festivals: Sheep Festival: Spring 19th Make sure your sheep is not shoven, not pregnant or sick and has seven or more hearts to be declared winner! Chicken Festival: Summer 7th Make sure your chicken is healthy and has seven hearts or more to win! Horse Festival: Summer 23rd Make sure your house has seven hearts or more to win! Cow Festival: Fall 16th Make sure your cow is healthy, not pregnant, and has seven hearts or more to be declared the winner! Dog Festival: Winter 10th Make sure your dog has seven hearts or more to win! If you win the festivals, you will receive wonderfuls for your tools and a big boost on your farm degree! =========================================== IX.
