2) About Me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I choose not to divulge my true name to the Internet public at the moment, but
I will say my Alias. My Internet Alias is "Gameboyguru" or better yet known as
"GBG." It was originally created for a Card Captors fanfic, but it eventually
stuck and I found myself using this name not only for the internet but name
inputs in RPG's and such. I have a fanfiction.net profile. Just go there and
search under Gameboyguru and you should get my profile.
I believe it was in grade 7 when I was first introduced to the Harvest Moon
series of games. I had heard about it before and subbed it as a farming game,
but a friend of mine (who I do not communicate with any more) told me that the
games were good. This guy introduced me to Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and
Earthbound, so I wasn't one to doubt him suddenly.
So one day I hit my favorite mall (which has now changed for the immense
worse) and purchased a copy of "Harvest Moon GBC." Though that was possibly the
one Harvest Moon game that least represented the series, I was still hopelessly
hooked. Despite the heckling I got from my brother, I played it and even for a
short time was playing it in the car ride to school! (Which ended VERY quickly)
Anywho, another game came along and I stopped playing… for like a month and a
half. Once the other game was done with, I immediately went back to Harvest
Moon. Even when the GBA came out and I was playing my favorite game, Megaman
Battle Network, I immediately went back to Harvest Moon when all was completed.
Then tragedy struck. At a garage sale, Harvest Moon GBC was sold without my
consent and my farming foray came to an abrupt halt; and for a period of time,
the "Harvest Moonia" was extracted from my body… I viewed the series from afar
as I played other games and had a fun, "Harvest Moon" Free existence.
Then fate intervened. I was totally psyched up over Mario and Luigi: Superstar
Saga and went to the nearest place to get it. Unfortunately, it was sold out.
EVERYWHERE. I scanned over the GBA section of the store, hoping to find it
despite the guy at the register said they were all out. Then is happened. My
eyes fell on "Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town." A cold sweat overcame me.
My mind was a blurry mess of indecision. I was able to resist HM 64 and Back to
Nature, but this was on my favorite platform, the GBA! Before I changed my
mind, I took the box and purchased the game. Thus began my friendship of
Mineral Town.

3) General knowledge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to use this guide, you will need to know the basics of this game.
Fortunately, I will explain as much as I can think of for better understanding.

d) The Weather Trick
Often in this guide I will bring up something called the "Weather trick. In
order to do this, save before you go to bed. The next day, check the weather
forecast. If it isn't to your liking, then just reload your file, sleep again,
and check the weather forecast again. If needed, repeat this as often as needed
to get the weather forecast you need. This is very useful for getting rainy
days and more confessional time.
e) Confessional
Every Monday, Wednesday, and rainy day between 1 - 4 PM, Carter will be in the
upper left room inside the church. In there, you can 'confess' to something. If
you are not forgiven, Carter will yell at you, but nothing else will happen. If
you are forgiven, then Carter will give you a little pep talk to make you feel
better and something good will happen depending on what you confessed to.
"I was cruel to my animals/Did not care for animals" - All your animals (Dog,
Horse, Cows, Sheep, Chickens) will increase in affection toward you.
"Townspeople don't like me" - ALL villagers (including the eligible
bachelorettes) will increase in friendship toward you.
"Overwork the HS" - All the Harvest Sprites will increase in affection toward
you
"Want to marry the HG" - Allows you to marry the Harvest Goddess after
fulfilling all other requirements.
These are mainly the important ones to consider. (Especially the first two) You
can get in more confessional time if you use the aforementioned Weather trick
to make it rain often. The one with the Harvest Sprites may get you invited to
their tea party in no time at all!
f) Harvest Sprites
These vertically challenged fellows will become the very backbone of your farm
once you get to really using their assistance.
There are seven in all: Staid, (blue) Bold, (purple) Chef, (Red) Nappy,
(Orange) Hoggy, (Yellow) Aqua, (Indigo) and Timid. (Green)
On your status screen they will have a page to themselves showing their
ability to do certain jobs, their affection toward you, and what work you have
lined up for them at the time. Once a sprite reaches three hearts, you can
enlist their aide in watering, harvesting, or caring for animals. Frankly, only
the two former really matter. Using a sprite for taking care of livestock is
just plain lazy and they can really do a sloppy job, failing to feed the
animals and even not using the makers!
To have a Harvest Sprite help out, talk to them and tell them you want their
help. After that, specify which field you want them to assist in. After that,
they will report to your farm the day after and begin working. Depending on
their level of expertise in the area they are working in, they could either
work really fast or really slow. To help them get better at something, play
games with them!
To play with a Harvest Sprite, talk to them in their hut and tell them you
want to play. After specifying which type of game you want to play, you will
begin the game.
The watering game (the most difficult) is a game of memory. Your sprite will
be in the center of a 25 x 25 field of tilled ground. At once, the ground will
mysteriously start to water itself. Remember which ones were watered and if
possible the order in which they were watered. For every square you get
correct, you will hose down the square and earn a point. For every square you
get correct in the correct order you will hose down the square AND make a plant
sprout up; netting two points. If you duff the order once, then it is
impossible to make any more sprouts for that round. If you select a square that
isn't ANY part of the pattern, then "…" will appear above your sprite's head
and you will LOSE a point, as in gaining a negative. If you select a square
that was already selected and watered, then the same thing will happen. The
score you need to pass will be displayed at the start of the game. It starts at
9 and eventually climbs to 30. There are three rounds in each game and
depending how long you've been playing, there will be 3 and eventually 10
squares to water each round! It really is easy if you link certain watering
formations to shapes and them create those shapes in watered squares. The game
can be difficult, but worth it when a field of 30 x 16 crops is being watered
actively whiles you mingle with the townsfolk.
The Harvesting game (the middleman in difficulty) is one-button oriented, but
by no means simple. Tap the A to harvest a lone turnip an infinite amount of
times. You have 60 seconds and at first only need to harvest 2 turnips, but
that will escalate to 11 turnips over time. The thing is, if you tap too
quickly, then you will pull off the top of the turnip or make the sprite fall
over, earning you a minus point. The key is to regulate your button taps. If
your sprite turns orange, then red; you are going too fast. Slow down your
button taps, but do not stop them entirely. Still, if you are in the red,
chances are you'll get the minus point anyway, which only matters in advanced
games. This game increases a sprite's ability to harvest crops. The funny thing
is, they don't really pick the crop up and drop it in the bin rather than use
pixie dust and TELEPORT the crop to the bin. It's quite fun to see a group of
sprites decimate an entire field of freshly grown crops.
The third game, the animal husbandry game, needs no explanation as I find it
entirely useless. The only time you'd need this is un-cursing the cursed hammer
and sickle, but otherwise using sprites to care for livestock is just plain
lazy.

4) Story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a) General
I noticed that about 96% of the posts made on the message boards are by new
guys in their first year. I had always wanted to make a FAQ or guide and am
starting over my game. (Blasted Rival heart events) As I play my new file, I
will note down what I do and tell you just how it is I went around doing these
things. There is no right way to go about playing Harvest Moon: Friends of
Mineral Town and by no way am I saying my way is perfect. In fact, that's all
it is: MY way. If you do things your own way, that is fine, but if you are just
starting out or need help making your first year in Spring count, then this is
your guide. Also, I isolate all the girls in this guide because I am also doing
a Heart Event guide and I need to make the heart levels accordingly. By all
means, if you are courting a girl, then take the measures necessary to woo and
marry her. I'm sure you can use another FAQ or guide for this. I'm assuming you
know other basic stuff like the characters and such.
Update: I erased my file for this game and restarted following my guide. I
must say, it was quite interesting. Now that my newest game (I believe the
fourth file I've ever done) has reached summer, I will rename this the "Year
one" guide rather than just for spring. That can only mean that fall and winter
are right on summer's tail! Wooh!
b) Game
As a kid, your parents took you to Mineral Town for a bit of a vacation. There
was trouble in paradise as somehow your parents lost track of you and you were
lost. A kind old man who ran a nearby farm heeded your hopeless cries. He
called your parents and after reuniting you with them, invites your whole
family to stay at his farm, which you all do. You spend the summer in the town
and farm and have the time of your life. One day, a girl finds you merrily
asleep at mother's hill and you two quickly become friends.
Alas, the summer ends and your parents are ready to go home. As you say
goodbye to the old man, he tells you his address so you can be pen pals with
him after you get home. Also to see you off is the girl who you were such good
friends with. "Just another reason to come back!" The old man quips merrily as
you finish your goodbyes.
Take a trip back to the present day where 6 months ago your letters from the
old man had suddenly stopped. You visit his farm to investigate what the
trouble was and see the place in your dream suddenly become a nightmare.
Stones, stumps and weeds ravage the field and on a side note no one in Mineral
Town is the same. Your desperate clinging on to those memories is cut short
when the Mayor of the town, Thomas, runs up to you and begins to scold you for
trespassing on the old man's farm. After explaining your relationship with the
old man, Thomas quickly gives an apologetic look and tells you he had died 6
months ago and that in his will he left you the farm! After telling Thomas that
the person in the will is YOU, he asks you if you would like to take the
inheritance and run the farm. You quickly decide that you would love to restore
this farm and make a living there. Somewhere along the way, you would also like
to reunite with that girl from so long ago… Your friendship with Mineral Town
begins!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5) Getting Started
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First and foremost, Harvest Moon is a game that requires you to think. So if
you are playing it before school or before a huge standardized test; don't.
Second, do not immerse yourself so much into this game to the point where other
aspects of your life deteriorate. I myself have had declining grades since I
started playing, but quickly was able to will myself to play less and do
homework more until I was back on track. (Besides, playing on my SP at night is
much more fun, anyways!)
You must understand that you have to work fast in your first Spring to make it
count and to really set up all the following years for a blazing success.
Especially in the spring, where a majority of your time will be spent clearing
the field. I will help in maximizing the time used to clear your field and be
able to get to planting your crops ASAP.
Next off, relax. This game isn't a violent action game where if you mess up,
that's it your game over'd and your character dies. No. FOMT is actually very
forgiving and allows you all the time in the world to build your life. Some
just choose to farm like never before in their first year, hence the birth of
this guide. The only thing remotely timed is getting your rivals married. But
that takes four whole years.
The game starts by naming yourself, your farm, and your dog. You are also
given the choice to select your HM birthday. Mainly select the season in which
your month of birth is in and then the day. If your birthday is on day 31 of a
month… good luck with that. Just so you know… Spring: March, April, May.
Summer: June, July, August. Fall: September, October, November. Winter:
December, January, February. For instance, my birthday is March 8. So my HM
birthday is Spring 8.
After the beginning rolls through, you will be found in your house on Spring
2. Let's get started!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6) Spring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MONDAY, SPRING 2:
Seeing as how you moved in on New Year's Day, then slept in your farmhouse,
your life in Mineral Town begins on Spring 2. As soon as you down your
breakfast, head out the door and Thomas will greet you and offer some tips for
farming. After you tell him you don't need any more advice, Thomas will leave
and Zack will come and explain how to ship items and how you get tired. Nothing
big. As soon as you regain control of yourself, find, pick up, and drop your
dog. After gaining your day's affection with the dog, head back inside your
house.
Already you can start earning big bucks by doing the single most frustrating
thing in the game: The Harvest Goddess New Years game. View the left channel on
your TV and get playing. (If you get a different show, just keep pressing left
until the Harvest Goddess appears) Basically the Goddess gives you a number
between 0 and 9 and you must guess whether the next number she gives will be
higher or lower than the first. Get it right, and you keep playing. Get it
wrong, and you end the game with whatever amount you had right and get a prize
accordingly. You can go up to as many correct guesses as you like, but seeing
as how it is your first year, try for 10 - 14 correct guesses. Doing so will
earn you relaxation tea leaves. As soon as you get one, press B to store it in
your rucksack and try for another one. After getting three, rush outside and
ship them. They are worth 1000 G each and are a very nice way to boost your
money flow in the first few days. You can play the game a max of 5 times per
day and the game is available on the first 5 days of Spring; effectively giving
you a chance at 20,000 G within the first four days of being in the farm.
The only catch is that the game can be INFURIATINGLY difficult to get 10
guesses right. I have spent hours playing and getting not a single relaxation
tea leaves. Stay calm and just keep guessing. Once you are done getting the 5
leaves and have shipped them all, you can finally get to do other things.
Once you finish up there, go to the chest at the lower right. You will see
your selection of tools. Pick the Axe, Hammer, and Sickle and head out back
south of your farm and start foraging. To your Right are two blue plants called
Blue Grass. Pick those up and run to the blue-roofed building on your farm (the
chicken house) and ship the grasses. Zack will take your shippable items from
each bin, so don't worry. After going back down, use your axe to chop all the
branches for 3 lumber. Not very impressive, huh? Pick up some flower and head
to the hot springs. While there, you may see Ann and Popuri. Ignore them and
toss the flowers into the pool with the waterfall and as you do, the Harvest
Goddess will greet you! Decline her offer to connect to a Gamecube and
introduce yourself to the two lovely ladies near the pool. If you are courting
either Ann or Popuri, talk to them more times. If you aren't then just talk to
them once to introduce yourself.
After leaving out the way you came, head further south. There you will see
Gotz, the woodcutter of sorts and you may catch Mary and her family going up to
mingle with nature. Introduce yourself to the lot of them and make sure you
picked up the Blue Grass in the Spring area on your way back to the farm. If
you want, you can also pick up the Bamboo shoots next to where Gotz seems to be
doing something.
After shipping the aforementioned items, you can now either head into Mineral
Town or Start clearing your field of branches. I performed the latter myself.
Clearing your field of branches isn't rocket science; just take your axe and
chop 'em all up. For help, use the farm map to see what branches are left.
Remember that by running at stones, branches, and weeds will make you jump over
them if there is nothing on the other side. For me there were 50 branches.
Added to the 5 (3 in the woods and 2 in the Mother's hill area) I now had 55
Lumber. With that done, it was now time to mingle with the locals.
When you barge into Mineral Town, explore every nook and cranny. On my pass
through, I was able to introduce myself to all but Elli, the Doctor, Karen,
Barley, and May. Other than those five, my sphere of influence touched all.
(even the Harvest Sprites) If any heart events occur on your trips, then check
my guide in later installments and see if you had wanted that to happen. Seeing
them earlier than I did is nothing wrong. You don't need to do anything more
than just get the introductions out of the way.
If you have an activity-packed day, the latest you should get to sleep is 4:00
AM, despite being able to go to sleep and not oversleep until 5:59. I only say
this because you have to at least restore two hours of stamina and Fatigue. If
you have a day where you had nothing to do, then the latest should be 9 - 10
PM, seeing as how the last place in town (Doug's Inn) that is open in a day
closes at 9 PM. For your first year, you will find the majority of days will
fall under the first kind.
Clearing your field with your last hours is still out of the question. (for
me, at least.) Leveling up your tools is more important. But what shall you
level up? The Axe is my answer. Not expecting that, were you? It's simple; in
order to maximize your time spent in year one, you need to upgrade your house
as often as possible. To do that you need lots of lumber, to get that you need
the mystrile level axe ASAP, and lastly, you do that by what I like to call
"Whacking." Before you make your own interpretation, let me explain. "Whacking"
is when you use a tool uselessly only for the purpose of gaining it levels. (It
is named after the relentless whacking of the axe against a tree stump and no
avail.)
Head over to the Goddess pond are and begin whacking one of the tree stumps
with your axe. As my tools guide earlier dictated, you won't make a dent in the
stump. However, using your axe against a stump, regardless of the effect it
wields, will earn you experience to your axe. When you get blue in the face,
hop in the hot springs for an hour to restore a good amount of stamina/fatigue
and then get back to whack. By chopping away until the 3:30 AM mark, I was able
to get my axe up to the silver level experience all in that one day. Not bad
for a day's whack. By the time you are done, Zack will have come and picked up
your blue grass and tea leaves, leaving you with well over 5,000 G.
After you are finished and it is well into the morning, head back to your farm
and get some shut-eye! If the weather forecast calls for rain tomorrow, go get
your dog and bring him in. Your dog HATES wet fur.
CHECKLIST:
- Thomas and Zack laid down some gaming basics
- Played the Harvest Goddess game and got five relaxation tea leaves.
- Shipped 3 Blue grass and introduced myself to the Harvest Goddess
- Cleared my field of all branches.
- Introduced myself to all but the Doctor, Elli, Karen, May and Barley.
- Trained my axe to the silver level of experience.
- Left my dog out, the forecast called for no rain tomorrow.
The checklist after everyday tell you what I did. It doesn't necessarily mean
it is exactly like you should do it. (Like you could have met the five I didn't
or shipped some bamboo shoots.) It only helps model your progress and sometimes
can help you activate certain events. Note that the day's summaries like above
will not all be so detailed.
TUESDAY, SPRING 3:
Check the weather forecast and whatever other shows you want before leaving,
but do
