(3.) | Introduction* |
\_____________/
I recently submitted a gift guide. It got rejected because someone made one
before I submitted mine. While I was putting information into it, I kept
thinking of more stuff I wanted to put that didn't really have anything to do
with gifts. So, since they didn't accept my gift guide I decided to make a full
guide. This will only be my second guide so far. Since it is only my second I
will appreciate any helpful hints, corrections, questions, comments,
complaints, or information I haven't included in this guide yet, through email.
I hope this guide includes what you are looking for, if not, check again later
and it might be there.

(4.) | In The Beginning...* |
\..................../
The story starts out with you wandering on to an old man's farm. He invites you
and your family to stay on the farm for vacation. Right before you leave he
asks you to write to him.
Years later you come back to the farm looking for the old man because he has
not written you back in a while. When you get there the mayor tells you that
the old man has passed on. He also tells you that the old man has left you his
farm in his will. You have a short conversation with the mayor and then
suddenly you wake up in the house on the farm the next day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\
(5.) | Your Character* |
\_______________/
Your character, of course, is you. You get to name him and give him a birthday.
You also get to name his dog and the farm. Your character's history is in the
city with your parents. He grew up in the city. A chance meeting with an old
man while on a vacation leads to him getting the farm

When you first start the game you have a rucksack that you can keep tools and
items in.
Your rucksack starts out with 3 spaces to keep tools and 3 spaces for items
(including the spot for holding the item).
You can buy bigger rucksacks at the supermarket. The first one you can buy
costs 3000g and increases your holding capacity to 5 spaces on each side. The
second and last one you can buy increases the holding capacity to 9 spaces on
each side.

-----Stamina and Fatigue-----
/|\                     /|\
~~Stamina~~
Stamina is the amount of Healthy Energy you have. As you work throughout the
day, your stamina will go down. You wake up every morning with about 100
stamina points. Doing different things takes away different amounts of stamina.
Some tools take away more than others.
~Your character will show signs letting you know about how much stamina you
have left.
-When he wipes his forehead, he has about 50 points left.
-When he slumps over a little bit, he has about 25 points left.
-When he sits down he has about 10 points left.
-When he falls down completely he has 0 points left.
~When you eat power berries your max stamina will increase permanently by 5
points
~~Fatigue~~
Fatigue is how tired your character is. After you use all of your stamina you
will start to get fatigue. The number of fatigue points you get will increase
with the amount of work you do after you use all of you stamina. If you get
50 points of fatigue your character will pass out.
~Your character will show signs letting you know about how much fatigue you
have.
-When he shakes his head, he has about 25 points.
-When his face turns blue he has about 40 points.
-When he passes out he has about 50 points.
~When you eat the Blue Mystic Berry(SEE POWER BERRIES SECTION) the max amount
of fatigue you can get without passing out will increase.
~When you pass out you will end up at the Clinic, and it will be the next day.

(6.) | Getting Started* |
\________________/
On your first day you need to explore the town, meet the villagers, get used to
the map, and plant your first seeds. You should start buy heading out the North
exit of your farm. Go to as many buildings as you can and meet all of the
villagers you find in them. As you make your way around the village you will
come by the store in the middle of the most Northern part of the village. You
need to go here in order to buy seeds to plant on your farm.
Seeds will be the big moneymaker on your farm for at least the first few
seasons and maybe the first year. As you enter the store you should see the
seeds in the middle of the room(for other information on the store go to the
VILLAGE section). Walk up to them and press "A".  You have a choice of Turnips,
Potatoes, Cucumbers, and Grass. Do not worry about the grass for now(for
information on it go to the ANIMALS section). You have 500g and can buy 2-3
packages of seeds. It is your choice to which ones you buy, but I advise that
you go with buying 3 packages of Turnip seeds, seeing as they grow the fastest
and cost the least. You can make a pretty good profit off of turnips compared
to the other seeds(see CROPS section for more details). Once you buy them they
will be put into the tools part of your rucksack, unless it is full, then it
will be sent to you toolbox(see YOUR FARM section for more details).
Now explore the rest of the village and return to your farm when you want to
plant your seeds.(Go to the CROPS section to learn how to plant your crops).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(7.) | Your Farm* |
\__________/
On your farm you start out with your small house, a mailbox, a shipping bin,
a barn, a stable, a wood bin, a chicken coop, an apple tree with a beehive, a
water hole, and a huge field.

\__________   _______________________________________________|
\______L______| |_____________________L__________________________
A. House:
Your house includes a bed, a diary, a tv, a table, and a toolbox. You will be
able to get more stuff in your house once you expand it. Every Morning you will
wake up at the table and automatically eat something for breakfast. Your
toolbox already has 5 tools in it. The tools are: watering can, hoe, hammer,
axe and sickle(see TOOLS section for more information on them). To use the tv
simply walk up to it and press "A". There are four stations. Press UP to get
the weather station, RIGHT to get the upcoming events station, DOWN to get the
life on the farm station and LEFT to get the miscellaneous station(see TV SHOWS
section for more information). The bed is self explanatory. Use the diary to
save your game.
B. Mailbox:
You will get mail in your mailbox every once in a while. You will usually get
mail at the beginning of the season, but you will also recieve mail for
announcements from the villagers.
C. Shipping Bin:
Once you leave your house on the first day, Zack will explain the shipping bins
to you.
D. Dog House:
This really serves no purpose because your dog never uses it. It's only for
decoration.
E. Barn:
You will use your barn to keep cows and sheep in once you can afford to buy
them. You will find eight spots to put food(fodder) in to feed your cows and
sheep. You will also find a spot at the top area of the barn where the food is
stored(see ANIMALS section for more information). There is also a shipping bin
in the barn.
F. Wood Bin:
Your Wood bin is between the barn and stable. When you chop wood it will
automatically go to the bin. You can take it out buy walking up to it and
pressing "A".
G. Stable:
The only reason you have a stable is to keep your horse in on
rainy days(when you get it, see ANIMALS section).
H. Apple Tree:
Your apple tree will have a beehive that you can get honey from everyday. You
can ship honey. It will also produce apples during the fall.
I. Water Hole:
Use it to fill your watering can.
J. Chicken Coop:
You will use your chicken coop to keep chickens in once you can afford to buy
them. You will find four spots to put chicken feed in to feed your chickens.
You will also find an incubator to put eggs in so they can hatch into baby
chicks(see ANIMAL section). You will also find a spot where the chicken feed is
stored. There is also a shipping bin in the chicken coop.
K. Huge Field:
You can use your field to plants crops in. You can also use it to plant grass
to let your cows and sheep graze in(see ANIMALS section).
L. River:
You can go fishing there.
