How to Increase Energy Hearts

As you begin the game, you will be working with five Energy Hearts which will represent the amount of Stamina you have available to work on your farm. It is important not to push yourself too far once you’ve reached the critical level of Stamina (one heart that’s half empty) since this may result into you fainting. Ending up fainting is not ideal since the rest of the day is wasted. Also, fainting may result into having some of your animals get mad at you if you happen to leave them outside when you fainted. Fainting may also result into having to miss out performing the tasks that are needed for your crop to grow properly.

Tip: To avoid fainting, be sure to take a break when needed, take a dip in the spring bath, or eat some food (cooked food seems to give back more Stamina than raw food).

Even if you have five Energy Hearts, the game allows you to have a maximum of eight Energy Hearts. To increase the number of Energy Hearts, here are some of the things you will have to perform to do so:

• Successfully reach level 100 in the Mines: Once you’ve mastered retaining and maximizing the Stamina you have while working in the mines, reaching level 100 may be a small feat. But as soon as you are done with finally reaching level 100 in the game, Rowan will show up and praise you for the hardwork and reward you with one extra Energy Heart.

• Find a partner and get married: In this version of Harvest Moon, it isn’t just about courting an ideal partner, this time Marriage is even part of the equation. Once you have settled on which bachelor/bachelorette to marry and eventually get married, Rowan will once again re-appear the day after you marry and give you a glimpse of the past. After this, an extra Energy Heart will be granted to you.

• Complete the Family Bond Memory: After you’ve already gotten married, the next thing you will have to do is build a family. When it comes to building a family, having children is definitely part of the equation. Once you already have children of your own, you will have to build your relationship well and make sure everyone is happy and satisfied. When your kids can already walk, the Family Bond Memory will be triggered after you talk to your partner. After this, an extra Energy Heart will be provided to you.
