- Missing Alot Of Stuff
=========
2) STORY
=========
Well, here is the basic setup. Your parents are going away for
two years, (actually it's two and a half) and they have left the farm to
you. Now its your job to fix it up and get it into working order by the
time they return. This may sound easy, but when you think about all the
stuff that you have to do it's pretty overwhelming. In addition to the
normal farmer rountine with you crops, you have t raise livesstock, get
marriesd, upgrade your house and eventually, (Is this legal?:) have
children. And all this stuff is set up in about a two minute day. Do
you have what it takes to become a Master Farmer?
========================
3) PLAYING HARVEST MOON
========================
So. You decided to become a farmer. Thats good, but first you
have to learn the basics.
Controls:
A Button:
This is your basic action button.
Button to talk to people, pick
up rocks, bushes, etc.
B Button:
Use this button to run. You know
how to run, right?
Y Button:
Use this button to use your equipped
tool. *NOTE* This uses stamina. See section --
X Button:
Use this button to switch your equipped
tools.
L & R Buttons:

For more on them, see section --
D-Pad:
Use this to move around.
Select Button:
Use this to see the date, the time,

of money.
Info:
Each day consist of 10 hours, 15 seconds each. Which means you have
just about 2 minutes and 30 seconds to do your work. This may seem like
a long time, but when you consider it takes you about an hour (game
time)to cross your field, time really flies. Later on you can get a lot
of stronger tools. I will go into details in later sections. To do
most things you need stamina. For more on stamina, see section --

4) ITEMS/TOOLS

prices/growing times. All these things can be found at the flower shop.
*NOTE* I did most of these prices from memory so if I have some wrong
sorry. If anybody wants to make a complete/accurate/better list you are

Name: Turnip
Season: Spring

the second spring. By then how much money you should have would just be
a waste on turnips.

be your best money maker in the second spring.

untill winter. You have to replant in Spring. You use this to feed
your livestock and to beautify your farm.
===========

chickens. Those will be listed in section 7.

Location: Wherever you put him, he will be in that general area, though
he does tend to wander.

portable shipping bin.
How to get: In the first Winter go to the road next to your house to get
her, though she won't be big enough to ride till spring.

run by.

How to get: Just pick it up.

see him grab him.
=============
7) LIVESTOCK
=============
Here is the livestock in the game. now remember, time stops when your
in a building, so don't freak out when you spend 10 minutes (real time)
In the barn milking your cows.
Chickens:
You can have as many chickens as you want outside but in the coop you
can only have twelve. The chickens can be bought full grown for 500, or
grown from an egg you put in the incubator which is in the bottom right
of the coop. Chickens will not lay eggs for 7 days when you get them.
Then when they do lay eggs put them in the shipping box on the bottom
right of the coop. If you miss a feeding or leave them outside in the
rain they will not lay eggs for 3 days. You can sell eggs for 50 bucks.
Chickens will not lay eggs outside but they will feed themselves. If
you leave them outside make sure they are in a fenced in area. There
are wild dogs around that will eat your chickens if their not fenced in,
or the fence is broke. Your dog will bark if you have lost a chicken
during the night. A healthy coop of chickens can make 600 bucks a day.
Cows:
By far, the absolute best way to make money in the game. In your barn
you can have twelve cows. I am not real sure whether you can get more
than that. I never tried. You can buy cows for a 1000 bucks. That may
seem expensive but it is well worth it. If you want your cows to be
happy (And remember, the happier the cow the more the milk) buy a brush
and make sure you brush them each day. Also talk to them. When you
name them make sure you remember which ones which so you don't waste
stamina brushing a cow twice. You can do what i do which makes it real
easy name the Cow1, Cow2, Cow3, etc. Then talk to the cow before you
brush it so you know. When you buy a cow it comes only half grown, so
you have to feed it and brush it everyday. Then when it doesstart
producing milk it will only be a small. After about 3 weeks of being
good to your cow it will produce more and more milk. You can only milk
a cow once a day. You can leave the cows outside, but if there is a
storm, your chances are they will get sick. When the cows get sick you
have about 2 and half weeks before they die. You can cure them using
medicine but this also gets them pregnant. You can't milk them, when
they are pregnant I don't think. It takes about 30 days for the cow to
be born, and another 30 for it to be full grown. Try not to get a lot
of cows. The more cows you have in your barn the slower the game will
go when you are in there. If you have 12 cows it can take almost 30
minutes to milk and brush them all. Once you have a good amount of
money sell some of your cows untill you have about 8. Although it may
slow down your game, an entire barn of contented cows can produce 3600 A
DAY!! Here is a list of the prices for your milk.
Small: 100
Medium: 200
Large: 300
Pretty simple I know but hey. Well, good luck raising your animals.

her store bought flowers which cost 500 bucks!! 2- This game was
translated from Japanese very poorly so some of the stuff she says is
hard to understand. If your going for a challenge, go for Nina.
====================
10) LESSONS IN LOVE
====================
Here are some good tips for when you are dating a girl and when you get
married.
Give a girl at least two gifts a day.
Talk to her untill she starts saying two different things.
Dance with her at all the festivals.
Never give any other girls presents.
When you get married do not stay out pass six or else your wife will go
to bed without you. If you dont have a watch, 6:00 is when the music
stops playing. And the shipper comes at five. So at 5:00 you have
fifteen seconds to get home.
If you want a baby be REAL good to your wife.
When you get a baby hold him alot.
============
11) SECRETS
============
There are alot of secrets in the game. Here are the ones I found. If
you send me a secret I will try it. If it does not work, I will put it
up in the rumors section. Once I have verified that it does work I will
Switch it over to here.
Golden Tools:
Gold Scynth- Sometime in the summer of the first year a guy will tell
you he heard a noise. Go to the bottom right and you will find a well.
Go down it and there will be two elves. Talk to one and he will ask if
you like your Scynth. Say yes and he will upgrade it for you. The gold
scynth will cut down all the grass in the squares around you. It takes
5 stamina.
Gold Plow- In the Spring of the second year you will find a elf in front
of your yard. He will ask you for food. Bring him some and he will
upgrade your Plow. The golden plow will will plow six squares in a
straight line. The golden plow takes 5 stamina.
Gold Axe- Sometime in the Winter of the first year you will have an
earthquake. Go to the Back Hills and the boulder that was blocking the
path before is gone. Swing your axe at the pond and a fairy will drop
down and asked if you dropped the gold axe. Say no and she will give it
to you. The gold axe can cut a stump in one hit. It takes 5 stamina.
Gold Hammer- In the Fall of the first year one of the construction
workers will ask to borrow your hammer. Say yes and he will upgrade it.
The gold hammer can smash a big rock in one hit. it takes 5 stamina.
Sprinkler- In the begining of Summer of the second year the Hardware
shop owner will tell you he is building a new invention. Go to the
Hardware shop on the 22 and he will have the sprinkler. I think you can
trade the water can for it. The sprinkler waters in all the squares
around you. It takes 5 stamina.
Seed Secrets:
Snowflower- In the harvest festival the peddler will offer to sell you
the seed of snowflower. You can buy it both years so don't worry if you
don't worry if you can't afford it the first. If you do buy it in the
winter go to the top of the mountain and plant it. when it grows you
can sell it to the peddler.
Magic beans- If you sell a cow later in the game. Before the Livestock
dealer comes to your house he will offer to trade the cow for some magic
beans. (Sound Familiar?:) If you plant the beans on the top of the
mountain a vine will grow up. When you get there walk up to the golden
chicken and talk to it. It will give you a golden egg which you sell
for 20,000 Bucks.
Bell Tree- Later in the game, a peddler will ask you if you would like
to buy a money tree from him for 2,000 bucks. Say yes and he will plant
a tree with bells all over it. It doesn't give you money. What it does
is calls your cows in from all over the farm.
