Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town Hints

There are two mines in this game. One is the lake mine and the other is the winter mine.

The winter mine is only allowed into in the winter when the lake my mother;s hill is frozen over. Here is more valuable gems and some cursed tools.

The lake mine is by the hot springs. Here is less valuable items.

In the winter mine, sometimes there is no floors. It may stop.

To go through the mines, hammer rocks to find gems and hoe the ground to find the staircase leading lower in the mines.

Both mines are 255 levels deep.

The watering hole is used to fill up your watering can. Also, you can store fish in it. Drop a fish in the hole. Later you can push A by it and a list of fish will appear. This helps save room in your refridgerator.

Do you guys want to know the harvest goddess birthday ? well i can tell you . it is on the 8 spring . throw a flower into the lake (lake near the spring mine) and i've read it somewhere that if you offer the harvest goddess a flower each day (everyday) , she will increase the affection of the boy that you like towards you and she will also give you a power berry if you offer her flowers everyday but she will give only one power berry . NOTICE : the harvest goddess only likes flowers .

Well, I went to the church and Carter wasn't there.. I found him behind the church saying greedily to himself something about mushrooms. He asked me to keep it a secret. If you answered yes, he'll be happy and leave the door open always. If you answered no, he'll be ashamed and say that it was greedy. He'll leave it open always. Who'd have thought a pastor was greedy :)

First u need to have 200 lumber then expand ur house next u need 700 lumber then expand again then get a large bed from the tv shopping every saturday (sat) then give the feather excellent work

Some of these tips are obvious.. lol. ^^ I tried my best!! <(0.0)>

My first tip on saving time, is take advantage of your chicken coop shipping bin! When I started playing I had no money, so of course I went to the mountain tops & fields to gather wild grass. Well, because the time is so short, instead of walking up to the main shipping bin to empty my rucksack, save yourself 10-20 minutes and go to the coop shipping bin It's much closer to the South exit.. Plus, all time stops when you go inside a building.
After that, I would go about my business in town, and then at the end of the day I would save about 3 to 4 hours to work on my field. Every day you'll get new weeds, so If you clear little by little you won't have a weed mess. Also, MAKE SURE you go to the beach and take advantage of all the wild grass. You can easily get 800 coins or more just from picking up grass (depending on the season, exuding winter)

Here are places where I find the grass-again depending on season the amount varies.

Outside of Gotz place. (About 2)
By the mountains (It varies)
The beach (around 4 depending on season.)
Carters Graveyard (1)
By the spring mine (spa area) (About 2-3)

And that's where I usually get my grass. If you want to befriend Mary (Grays rival) then I suggest giving one or more a day to her, and talking to her twice afterwords. Also, the doctor loves them. Some people you shouldn't give it to are Popouri,Gray,Cliff, Ann,Rick ect.

Last quick tip: When buying chickens or sheep or cows, make a fence for your chickens and plant some grass. You won't need to buy chicken feed (Except on those rainy days) So keep like 20 bushels. For sheep just leave them outside all day, as they'll want to walk around and are easier (BUT SLOWER) to put back. Again, keep some for a rainy day. Same goes with cows. Just make sure w/ your chicken that you take them in before 8pm because there's a creepy wild dog thing that comes and tries to eat your chicken!


I hope I helped a little. ^^

Feel free to comment, add, or correct any tips you see. CORRECTION IS CRITICAL! lol ^___^

Do you ever want to fish wihtout wasting time?Now you can from the NYP expedition. In our expedition, we found an indoor fishing spot, so you can fish and not waste time!
MUST BE WINTER OR IT WILL NOT WORK
Tip:You'll probably want to bring a basket and a large empty rucsac so you can have 39 fish.
Location:winter mines. Go on the nineth level and hit the rocks at the back. Throw out what you get from the rocks to have more space

In my game, in the 1st year Winter 2nd, the mayor said that he lost a bet to another mayor and he'll ask for a golden egg, turn your game off and start the day again, he'll ask for something different, keep doing it until he asks for black grass. Go to the Lake Mine (the one in the middle of a lake, the water is frozen so you can get to it) and use your hoe to plow around in the mine. It doesn't matter what level you plow at. You will
get black grass or bags with yellow stuff in it, that's money, but only 10G. At 7 pm, the mayor will come so give him the black grass and he will give you golden lumber but I don't know what to do with it.

If you have Rick at blue heart and you walk into the poultry farms house from 11:00 to 1:00 on a monday wednesday or friday you will see lillia sick alone. she says Rick adn Popuri ran off and left her. later they both come back and give her medicine. she says they are great children.

Note: The only point of this is for fun but Ricks heart level may or may not raise up a bit higher. I had just gotton him to blue heart by giving him one spa-boiled egg a day, then after that seen i did this again for a week and his heart changed to green!

When you get the opportunity to play Won's apple game use this tip for easy money. Before you have to pick which apple Won is asking for (when the screen asks you to chose, RIGHT, CENTER, OR LEFT) save your game. If you pick the wrong one you can restart and pick the other options, do this until you pick the right one. It will take some time but if you do this ten times you receive a rare flower from Won. You can give it to the Harvest Goddess (does nothing for you) or sell it back to Won and you can get up to 87,000 Gold. I would sell it back, really easy money.
