| Why This Guide Exists
|
| Why a guide specifically on mining? Can't most of this information be found
| in your huge Harvest Moon guide? Yes, most of the information here will
| eventually appear in my larger Harvest Moon FAQ, but a large portion of
| people loading an FAQ actually care about the mining - and why force them to
| download what will eventually be a 1-megabyte file just for a small portion
| of that content? That's my reasoning behind all these spin-off specialized
| guides.

| The Basics
|
| Mining is a rather simple process. To start, just grab your hammer (not your
| hoe, like in some past Harvest Moon games) and enter the mine - mine
| locations can be found under the "The Mines" section (search for [ MIN ]
| without the spaces).
|
| Descend the first staircase at the entrance to find yourself on the 1st floor
| of the mine (note that mine floors are numbered top-to-bottom, so the 1st
| floor is the closest to the surface and the 50th floor is the closest to the
| bottom). Every floor (with a few exceptions) operates in the same way: a
| large area with several characteristic items. These include:
|
| - Stairs: Each floor contains two staircases: one going up, and one going
| down.
|
| - Cracks: Most floors contain some cracks in the ground, marked by 'X's.
| These X's, when stepped on, become either holes or geysers, plummeting you
| down or rocketing you up a random number of floors.
|
| - Rocks: Rocks are the foundation of the mine. Smashing them can yield Ores,
| items or afflictions.
|
| - Crystals: Crystals are like rocks, except they house more valuable
| treasures, called Wonderfuls, and can also hold afflictions.
|
| - Items: There are also some items that can be immediately spotted on the
| mine floor. These can be picked up just like any other item.
|
| When you break a rock or crystal, you will sometimes find an item contained
| in the rock - this is the entire purpose of mining. If you do, you can either
| pick it up or leave it - if you leave it, it will remain on the ground
| indefinitely. You'll need to put your tool away to pick it up, and you can
| obviously only put it in your rucksack if you have space. Ores and wonderfuls
| dug up in the mine do not stack, unfortunately, although Pontata Roots,
| Mushrooms and Toadstools will.
|
| How you behave in a mine will depend on what you intend to do. Sometimes
| you'll want to get down to a certain level, sometimes you'll just want to get
| down as far as you can, and sometimes you'll just want to find a particular
| item.
|
| Regardless of what you're there to do, though, the controls remain the same.
| Break rocks to try to find Ores; break crystals to try to find Wonderfuls;
| to descend, get to the staircase or step on an 'X'; and to ascend and leave
| the mine, get to the up staircase and choose 'top floor'.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {SHG} _
| Stairs, Holes and Geysers
|
| There are two ways to descend the mine: stairs and holes. Stairs are the
| reliable way: when you approach the downward staircase, you'll be
| automatically transported down one level in the mine - never more than one.
|
| Oftentimes the stairs are visible immediately upon entering a level of the
| mine. However, sometimes - especially at lower floors - the staircase is
| hidden under a rock. To find it, look for a rock that has nothing bordering
| it, on the sides or diagonally. Only rocks with nothing bordering them can
| cover up staircases. Bust these rocks until you find the staircase.
|
| Cracks are a riskier, but often faster, way of descending. If you step on an
| 'X', you will fall down a random number of floors in the mine, between 1 and
| 5. Additionally, cracks are often much more accessible than the stairs, given
| that a particular floor will contain several cracks but only one staircase.
| So, cracks are often a more efficient method for descending the mine - and,
| though you might suspect otherwise, holes carry no stamina penalty.
|
| Cracks have a risk associated with them, however: sometimes when you step on
| a crack, it will become a geyser instead of a hole. Geysers propel you
| upwards a random number of floors.
|
| Geysers become more frequent at lower floors, making it more difficult to get
| to the deepest sections of the mine. It's best to stick to stairs once you
| get down to the last 10 floors of the Ganache Mine and the last 20 floors of
| Mt. Gelato Mine.
|
| Ascending to the top of the mine can also be done by simply touching the
| upwards staircase: you'll receive the option to automatically ascend all the
| way to the surface.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {AFL} _
| Afflictions
|
| "I think I have the black lung, pop." Zoolander quotes aside, Ores and
| Wonderfuls aren't the only things that pop up when you break a rock or
| crystal. There are multiple afflictions that come in the form of different
| colored gases. These afflictions will affect your efforts to descend the
| mine:
|
| Red : Stamina loss (your character loses stamina points - 20 for 'lost a
| little stamina', 50 for 'lost a lot of stamina')
| Blue : Temporary paralysis (inability to move for around 10 seconds, though
| : no game time will pass).
| Green : Stamina restoration (your character regains around 300 stamina
| : points).
| Purple : Temporary confusion (joystick directions no longer map to the
| : character's direction, and randomly change).
| Black : Blindness (the visibility around your character drastically
| : shrinks).
| White : Slowness (your character's movement speed is severely restricted) or
| : Quickness (your character's movement speed is drastically raised).
| Yellow : Stamina restoration (your character regains around 100 stamina
| : points).
|
| You can get rid of any non-stamina related afflictions by changing floors,
| either by stepping on an 'X' or ascending/descending a staircase.
|
| Afflictions will spread outward from the initial location in various
| patterns and at different speeds. Oftentimes you'll be able to avoid the
| affliction before it hits you - just run away as soon as you hear the sound
| of a gas spewing. Unfortunately you'll likely also miss the stamina
| restoration gasses, but that's a small price to pay.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {OAW} _
| Ores and Wonderfuls
|
| The two main items that can be found in the mine are Ores and Wonderfuls.
| Both are only accessible by smashing apart rocks (for Ores) and crystals (for
| Wonderfuls). When a rock or crystal is smashed, an ore or wonderful may
| appear on the ground for you to pick up.
|
| Ores and Wonderfuls themselves are very different from the way ores and gems
| have been obtained in past Harvest Moon games. If I could italicize this
| next sentence, I would: Ores and Wonderfuls, by themselves, are essentially
| worthless. They have very low shipping values and cannot be used for tool
| upgrades, jewelry creations or effective gifts.
|
| Instead, Ores and Wonderfuls hold within them Metals and Gems. It's as if the
| true "identity" of the Ore or Wonderful is hidden from you, and can only be
| established by a gifted refiner - and conveniently, there is a gifted refiner
| on the island: Mira.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {APR} _
| Refining
|
| Every Ore and Wonderful houses an item. Sometimes the item is of a greater
| value, but sometimes the item is junk. The item an Ore or Wonderful holds
| corresponds to the color/type of the Ore or Wonderful: for example, Gold Ore
| contains either Gold (the treasure) or scrap iron (junk). Wonderfuls have
| three different levels of treasure: for example, a red-colored Wonderful can
| contain a Ruby (high-value), a Spinel (medium-value), a Rose Stone
| (low-value) or glass (junk).
|
| So how are you to tell what your Ores and Wonderfuls are? That's where Mira
| comes in. Mira works at the Blacksmith's Shop every day after you meet her
| at the graveyard on a sunny day, and she is a specialist at refining your
| Ores and Wonderfuls. She'll even do it free of charge. To get Mira to refine
| your materials, talk to her over the counter and choose 'Refine' - don't just
| talk to her with the item in your hands or you'll inadvertently give it to
| her.
|
| Mira will let you know what the item truly is and will give it back to you:
| after that, the item will be identified in your rucksack as the Metal or Gem
| instead of an Ore or Wonderful. After that, you can use it for jewelry or
| tool upgrades. It will also make a better gift, and the shipping value will
| will be much higher. Metals and Gems will stack as well.
|
| This presents a minor problem with mining though: wouldn't you hate to go to
| the mines and grab 8 Wonderfuls, only to find out that they're all glass? Or
| to pick up a bunch of Gold Ore, only to find out they're all scrap? Luckily,
| there is a way to identify the value of the item held within an ore or
| wonderful while out mining: sparkles. When you uncover an ore or a wonderful,
| it may sparkle on the ground. If an Ore sparkles, it contains the
| corresponding (Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold) Metal; if a Wonderful sparkles,
| it contains a Gem. Which Gem the Wonderful contains is indicated by the
| number of sparkles it has after you pick it up and put it in your rucksack: a
| three-sparkle Wonderful contains the most valuable Gem of that color, whereas
| a one-sparkle Wonderful contains the least valuable Gem (though a Gem
| nonetheless).
|
| However, in order to use the Metal or Gem in tool upgrades or jewelry, and
| in order to have it sell for a higher price, it still must be manually
| refined by Mira. The sparkles are only there to help you identify what each
| Ore or Wonderful is while mining.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {MOL} _
| Moles
|
| Sometimes when you're mining, you'll come across a little mole in the field.
| Make sure PETA isn't watching, then smash the mole with your hammer. If you
| succeed, the mole will cough up an item: typically just a Mushroom or a
| Toadstool, but sometimes something more valuable, like a Bodigizer. How the
| mole got his hands on one of those is beyond me.
|
| Interestingly, moles are only found on floors ending in the number 5. They
| have been observed dropping seven different items: Mushrooms, Toadstools,
| Pontata Roots, Stay Awake, Super Stay Awake, Bodigizer and Bodigizer XL.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {WHM} _
| Why Mine?
|
| So, there's this great big part of the game called mining where you can
| dig up random stuff from the ground. So what, why bother?
|
| There are several useful reasons to make use of the mine:
|
| - Cheaper tool upgrades. While you can upgrade your tools by simply
| purchasing new ones at the General Store, it's a good deal cheaper to
| upgrade them at the Blacksmith's Shop - but, he requires you to supply
| the mineral for the upgrade.
|
| - Jewelry. In order to make jewelry, you must supply the minerals and gems.
| And since there's nowhere else to get them except the mine, you're locked
| into that option if you want to make jewelry.
|
| - Profit. Mining in Tree of Tranquility is a notably profitable task. Just
| picking up a few Coppers and Silvers can yield a quick 500G, and your
| profits will soar even higher if you get far enough down to start digging
| up some gemstones, which sell for everything from 170G (Peridot) to 1000G
| (Diamond). Additionally, harvesting the Toadstools and Mushrooms from the
| mine is hugely profitable. Make Marinated Mushrooms with an herb, mushroom
| and a cutting board for an even larger profit.
|
| - Power Berry and Pontata Roots. One of the game's five Power Berries is at
| the bottom of the first (Ganache) mine, and the mines are also the best
| place you can find Pontata Roots, a key ingredient in the medicine
| category of recipes (Bodigizer, Bodigizer XL, Cold Medicine, Stay Awake
| and Super Stay Awake). Additionally, an item at the bottom of the Mt.
| Gelato Mine (the Shining Baumkuchen) has a high sale price and is loved as
| a gift by all villagers, though you can get it only once.
|
| - Completion. One of the items accessible on the bookshelf screens is a "Gem
| List", which contains a list of all the possible products obtained from
| the mines. If you're a completionist, you'll want to complete this too.
|
| - Villager Events. Several events take place in the mine: you will meet both
| Phoebe and Calvin in the mine, and both (as well as Owen) will require you
| to re-visit the mine in order to complete their requests. You'll also need
| to visit the mine to complete the goddess quest.
|
| - King Fish. The lake at the bottom of Ganache Mine is one of only two
| places to find the elusive King Fish, and is the only one accessible
| for the majority of the game (the other location requires you to complete
| the goddess revival).
|
| - Goddess Recipes. Two items required for the goddess recipes - a Blue
| Wonderful and a Lapis Lazuli - are only obtainable within the mines.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {DTM} _
| Descending the Mine
|
| If your goal is to descend pretty deep into the mine, here are a few tips:
|
| - Bring recovery items. Stamina will be a major threat to your descent, and
| you'll be kicking yourself if you get down to the last 5 floors and run
| out of stamina. The best items for stamina recovery are Bodigizer XL,
| any type of Pizza or any type of Buckwheat dish (except for Cocktails
| or Chips). The best purchasable stamina recovery items are Bodigizer XL
| (520G from the Clinic), Southern Omelette (550G from Pineapple Inn) and
| Sweet Yam Cake (660G from the Fall/Winter markets).
|
| Be careful using Mushrooms to restore stamina. They work, but they also
| increase your fatigue. If you eat too many, you'll get drowsy and walk
| too slowly to really do anything. To prevent this, don't eat more than 14
| Mushrooms in a day.
|
| - Start early. You don't want to stay there all night and into the next day
| (unless you brought some Super Stay Awake), so get there early.
|
| - Plan to spend the whole day. You never know how long it will take you to
| get as far down as you want to go, so don't leave any chores - like
| watering the crops or feeding the animals - for when you get back.
|
| - Empty your rucksack of non-consumables. You'll be kicking yourself if you
| come across five Diamonds but only have four spots in your rucksack. Keep
| only food and your hammer in your rucksack if you plan to bring home a big
| haul.
|
| - Use the holes first, then the stairs. For the first few levels, the holes
| are a great way to get down fast. But after about 2/3rds of the way down,
| you'll find they lead to geysers more often, making them too risky. You'll
| almost never encounter a hole that takes you all the way to the bottom
| either, so don't plan to just use holes and assume eventually you'll get
| lucky enough to go all the way down.

| How can I make the most money mining?
|
| Bring only a hammer and a Stay Awake or Bodigizer with you. Bring a Stay
| Awake if you think you'll stay past 6:00AM, or a Bodigizer if you tend to run
| out of stamina.
|
| In Ganache Mine, don't bother breaking stuff except to find the stairs until
| you're at Floor 25 or lower. In Gelato Mine, the same applies for Floor 38 or
| lower.
|
| Remember, only Ores and Wonderfuls that sparkle on the ground will refine
| into anything notable. The number of sparkles displayed on the Wonderfuls in
| your rucksack determines what gem they are - 3 sparkles is the best.
|
| Use mushrooms to restore your stamina if you run out of stamina restoring
| items, but don't eat more than 15 or you'll get drowsy.
|
| Gather mushrooms and toadstools on your way down - no gem is worth more than
| 15 mushrooms or toadstools, and because mushrooms and toadstools stack, they
| take up the same amount of space.
|
| Above all else, make sure to refine your Ores and Wonderfuls before selling
| them.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| How can I find Iron/Copper/Silver/Gold?
|
| These are found in the mines, in the rocks you bust apart with your hammer.
| Only ores that sparkle when they appear will refine to a real metal. The
| metals can be hard to find; check around floors 20-25 in Ganache Mine, or
| below floor 20 in Gelato Mine.

| AIM: StarsHallelujah |
| V
| To e-mail me, PLEASE preface your e-mail subject line with [ToT] in
| brackets. I get a lot of spam, so that will help me sort through it and
| find your e-mail. If possible, IM me instead of e-mailing me if you have a
| question, but e-mail me if you have a contribution or correction.
|
| If you are submitting a tip or correction, please include how you would
| like to be credited. Otherwise I'll credit you by your e-mail address or
| screenname.
|
| I'd hoped not to have to do this, but I also need to make a disclaimer about
| the type of communication I'll accept. But my old note scared people off, so
| let me make it more succinct.
|
| I'm more than happy to answer any questions about Harvest Moon: Tree of
| Tranquility, via e-mail or IM. However, please note the
| following:
| - I am not interested in just chatting about Harvest Moon: Tree of
| Tranquility. That means, don't ask me who I married, if I've finished the
| game, how much money I have, etc. And I'm not all that interested in
| hearing every detail about your farm either. Sorry.
| - I am not interested in chatting about any other game, nor am I qualified
| to answer questions about any game except for Harvest Moon: Tree of
| Tranquility. That means, don't ask me about Spore, Gears of War,
| Kingodm Hearts, Animal Crossing or Age of Empires. Don't ask me what other
| video game systems I have. Don't list yours for me. I'm really not
| interested in hearing about it. Sorry.
| - If you ask me a question that is clearly stated somewhere in this guide,
| I'll tell you how to find it. I won't look up the answer for you. I didn't
| write this guide just so people could scroll to the bottom and find my
| e-mail address. Don't be afraid to ask, but don't be upset if I respond
| with a search code.
| - Please type communicably. I'm not obsessed with proper grammar/spelling,
| but if I can't understand what you're saying I just won't respond. And
| this one is just a pet peeve of mine: I have no idea what any of these
| "smileys" mean: ^^ ^^; -_- >> << <<; >>;; <_> >_< n-n n.n - and I have no
| desire to know. So don't say anything that's dependent on me understanding
| what these devilspawn illegitimate children of lolspeak and anime mean.
| - I am not interested in just chatting. That means, do not send me videos
| of sneezing pandas. Do not as me what I look like. Do not ask me what
| "IMing" is. Do not ask me if I know a good cheat site. Do not send me the
| "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" video. Do not send me a "Kiwee Emoticon." Do
| not ask me if I like Naruto. And do NOT write DetroitDJ fanfiction.
| Seriously, creepy.
|
| And yes, every single thing I've listed above has actually happened.
|
| Basically, if you contact me and I don't answer, ask yourself one question:
| Am I asking a question about Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility? If the answer
| is no, then now you know why I'm not responding. If you have a question,
| don't hesitate to ask.
