2.)    Intro
Hello everyone!  I'm Cat, and I'm here to inform you on a very intriguing
game, Harvest Moon.  Now Harvest Moon is just addicting, turn on the 64 and
you'll be on it for hours.  It is not the shoot-'em-up game or the quest for
the damsel in distress.  Natsume makes everyone become down to earth with
this game, down enough to smell the sweet odor of cow dung.  It is truly a
very interesting simulation and everyone should give it a try.  I know I'm
not the best, but I have gathered info from all around and feel that others
should know it.  I've covered most of the game and there are still a few
mysteries, but in time, those will be revealed.  This is a pretty good guide
for beginners and such.  I have the complete recipe, photo album, and power
berry list, I believe the first to be published.  Have fun reading!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.)    Animals
You are allowed to have 6 chickens, 8 cows, or 8 sheep, or a combination
of both.  You have a dog and a horse.  Here is summary of all the animals and
how much profit they will make when they are full grown, and all the other
necessary items.  I'm using good ole algebra.
Dog- You have him since Day 1.  He likes being fed, by putting anything in
his dog bowl.  He will enter the Dog Races.  If you call him, pick him up,
and feed him all year he will have a greater chance of winning.  Also putting
food in his bowl the day before the race will increase your chances.  He may
have puppies with Taro, depending on how good of friends you are with the
Potion Shop family.  He doesn't like being outside when it rains or snows, so
keep him in while the bad weather is outside.  He can be out in the Winter,
but just don't keep him out when it snows.  If you whistle for him, then get
on your horse and make him chase you, you'll be killing two birds with one
stone, for the horse and dog get exercised
No Profit
Horse- Can get him anytime during the First Spring he's free, but you will
only be able to get him then.  When he is a colt, talk to him and brush him
(when you buy the brush).  When he is older, he'll have saddlebags, and you
can ride him.  The saddlebags are like mobile shipping boxes, face him with a
veggie and press A and it will automatically be put in the shipping box.
Riding him and brushing him all year will better increase your odds to win.
Strategies for the Horse Race are in the Calendar section.
No Profit
Chickens- sold at 1500G at Green Ranch.  You only need to buy one chicken,
then put the eggs in the incubator to hatch chicks.  You have to feed the
chickens Chicken Feed, which costs 10G per bag.  To make sure you are feeding
the right bin, face the bin and click A and it will give you the name of the
chicken.  If you put them outside, then you don't have to feed them.  Keep
them in a fence, but take them in when it's raining.  They can die so be sure
to take care of them.  Chickens do not get sick but can get in a bad mood and
will not produce eggs.  Their eggs sell for 50G
6 Full Grown Chickens  Unit Price: 50G  Maintanence: -10G
Subtotal:120(50x6)=3600G  Negative Income: 3600-(120x10)=2400
Total Profit:2400G
Cows- sold at 6000G at Green Ranch.  Will give you four different milk sizes:
Small 100G, Medium 150G, Large 300G, and Special 500G.  You can only get the
Special if your cow wins the Cow Festival.  There is conflicting opinions
about getting your cows pregnant.  The Magic Potion is 3000G, and will
impregnate your cows.  Your cow will be pregnant for 21 days, and will give
you smaller milk.  The calf will take 21 days to grow into cow.  It is
actually more economical to just buy the cows at 6000G, BUT your cows will
not like you as much.  The cows you give birth to are easier to handle, give
bigger milk faster, are more likely to win the Cow festival, etc.  I think
that you should buy one cow and just give birth to the rest, because it's
easier for me.  Also do a little family tree thing like Bessie gives birth to
Tess and Tess gives birth to Jesse, the calves whose mothers were born at
your farm are even better.  I suggest you have six cows.
*8 Full Grown Cows (Maximum)  Unit Price: 300G (assuming all have Large
milk) No Maintenance
Total Profit:120(300x8)=288000G
*6 Full Grown Cows  Same Unit Price  No Maintenance
Total Profit:120(300x6)=216000G
*4 Full Grown Cows (Minimum) Same as above
Total Profit:120(300x4)=144000G
Sheep- sold at 4000G at Green Ranch.  Take about 21 days to become full
grown.  You cannot breed sheep, just cows.  They give you wool every 7 days,
a week essentially.  The wool is priced at 900G for Regular and 1800G for
Quality wool.  In order to get your sheep to produce Quality wool, just brush
them, talk to them, take them outside, and feed them all year round; after a
while they will start to produce it.  You make more money by cows daily milk
(if it is large) than the sheep's' wool once a week.  Sheep are fun to raise
though and your father gives you a better rating if you have 4 of each.  I
suggest you have 2 sheep.
*8 Full Grown Sheep (Maximum) Unit Price:1800G  No Maintenance
Total Profit:17(1800x8)=244800G
*6 Full Grown Sheep  Same thing
Total Profit:17(1800x6)=130600G
*4 Full Grown Sheep (Minimum) Same thing
Total Profit:17(1800x4)=122400
*Your animals will not produce anything unless you talk and brush them every
single day, there is no other way!  Don't try to shirk it.
**You can bring both sheep and cows outside, but you need to have your grass
at it's full height (when it's ready to be harvested), or they will get sick.
Put a fence around your pasture, or your animals will wander around and will
be very hard to round up.  Do not leave them out in the rain or forget to
feed them, or they will become sick and eventually die.  It is harder to take
care of them all if they are outside since Time is running, so let them out
once a week.  You feed them grass or fodder, which is harvested when you cut
the grass.  The fodder in the barn comes from the silo.  Make sure you
harvest enough grass to feed the animals through winter, if you can't go buy
animal food from Green Ranch.
Mountain Animals- Here are all the animals I've found in Moon Mountain.
Monkey, Rabbit, Snake, Fox, Squirrel, Cricket, Dragonfly, Butterfly, Stag
Beetle, Locust, and the *Pika Bunny.
*Look in Calendar

6.)    Item List
This is a list of all the regular items in the game, if you want to know
about the special items look in the Secret section.
Leveling Up- To level up an item, you must use it a lot.  Only some of the
items level up.  There is a trick to leveling up your items: use them inside.
This levels them up but doesn't take anytime, and the only thing you have to
worry about is your energy.  I suggest you do this at night after the day is
done.  To use a 2nd level or 3rd level tool just hold the A button longer and
the character will demonstrate that he is going to a higher level.  WARNING:
the higher the level the more energy you use so use the higher levels wisely.
For example, don't use a 3rd level hammer on a small stone, use a 1st level.
Tools
Ax- used to cut wood.  Has three levels.  1st level: it takes 6 chops to cut
wood.  2nd level: it takes 2 chops.  3rd level: one chop.  Do not point this at
animals.
Hammer- used to destroy stones and boulders, and broken fences.  1st level:
takes 6 blows to destroy boulders, 1 blow for stones.  2nd level: 2 blows, 1
blow.  3rd level: 1 blow each.  TIP: If you don't want to waste energy, just
throw the small stones into the pond.  Do not point this at animals.
Sickle- used to cut grass, weeds, and plants.  1st level: cuts one square.
2md level: cuts 3 squares.  3rd level: cuts 9 squares (all around you and the
one you are standing on).  Do not point this at animals!
Hoe- used to till the ground so you can plant seeds.  1st level: tills 1
square.  2nd level: tills 3 squares vertically in front of you.  3rd level:
tills 6 squares vertically in front of you.  Do not point this at animals!
Watering Can- the last one that can level up, waters your produce.  1st
level: waters one square.  2md level: water 3 squares horizontally in front
of you.  3rd level: waters a whole 3x3 square in front of you.

7.)    Calendar
A list of events throughout the year, which will happen every year.  Photo
Album is after this.  *Picture* means that it is a part of the Photo Album
~*Spring*~
1st- New Years Festival.  All day, go to Town Square.  Every time you talk to
someone you must have a drink [how horrible ;o)].  If you are after Karen,
you can impress her if you out slug her (she'll get drunk and leave).  Tips
on how to prepare in Girls section
1st-10th- Library closed, starting 2nd year
1st-30th- You can get your horse only in the 1st year
8th- Sowing Festival.  If you are King, you will go up in the balloon.  You
choose an assistant to go up with you.  You can only signal the balloons in
the first year.  *Picture*
15th- Daddy comes home!! That is, Popouri's dad.  He'll introduce himself
16th- Deadline for Entering the Horse Race.  Ann's Dad will come and ask if
you want to enter your horse.  This is a good time to ride your horse one
last time.
17th- Horse Race.  The first year you can't enter your horse, because it
hasn't grown yet.  Go to the Town Square as soon as you are done with your
chores, the first race starts around 7 am.  Here are the strategies: to win
the race, you can do several things.  Some say that you should tap the A
button like this 1A1A1A1A, every other second.  Others say you should wait
for seven seconds then start tapping like heck.  I like the first one, but
your horse will lose it's speed so whatever your strategy don't wear the
horse out.  You can bet on horses, I like to bet on them all, while putting
more medals on the horses with greater odds, of course this was when I had
100,000G.  Bet all you want on the horses with the best odds, then press B
like you cancelled the order, but they still will be present as a bet
(strategy by Watsonz).  I like Tieoha, Star C, Taraba, and Guard.  You can
win a new stable with 3000 medals, a stuffed horse at 1000 medals, and a
sustaining carrot at 500 medals.  *See secrets to know more about the carrot
*Picture*
18th-Cliff comes to your farm.  He will ask for food give it to him, so keep
something in your rucksack.
18th-22nd- Vote for the Flower Princess.  Self-explanatory.  Go to the Town
Square to vote, vote on the girl you are chasing, she may have a chance to
win.
22nd- Popuri's B-day.  Give her a flower for a present
23rd- Flower Festival.  Whoever got the most votes will be the Goddess.  You
can't dance with your girl if she is the goddess but do compliment her.  The
Goddess will dance with the King.  After they announce the Goddess, you can
choose a dancing partner.  You can buy a bottle, pink cat mint seeds, and a
power berry here.  *See secrets for info on the power berry.
26th-Summer- You can buy the Blue Mist seed, starting in the 2nd year.
~*Summmer*~
1st-30th- Blue Mist Flower.  The Blue Mist seed can be bought at this time.
You will plant it in the Goddess Meadow (*see Map), Popouri will tell you how
to take care of it.  It will bloom at one time and the rare butterfly will
come and see it.  The Entomologist will take a picture of this event.
*Picture*
1st-Fireworks.  This is at night.  You want to spend your time with the girl
you like.  They will tell you where they are going to be if you ask them.
Elli is at the bakery, Ann is at Green Ranch, Maria is in the Town Square,
Popuri on Moon Mountain, and Karen at the beach.  If they like you, they may
ask if you want to light fireworks with them.
2nd-30th- Hurricane Season!  Watch the weather channel every single day in the
summer.  The hurricane will not be on a festival day though.  It will destroy
some of your crops, your fence, and your greenhouse.  Unless you have the
Invincible Katori and Turtle Figurine (*see Secrets)
1st-10th- Library Closed (not sure)
7th or 8th- Bamboo Boat Float.  At night, must be married to do this, your wife
will be standing outside waiting for you.  Say yes you want to go, then
you'll go to the river.  You'll have the option to wish for Animals, Family,
or Weather.  One of the first festivals your kid will be at.
9th- Vegetable Festival.  You must save a vegetable from spring to enter this
contest, unless you have a greenhouse.  You need either an eggplant or tomato
to win; I haven't won it yet.  The Potion Shop owner usually wins.
14th- Ann's birthday! Give her wool, eggs, or anything else
17th- Firefly Festival.  At night on the beach.  If you give Rick a moonlight
stone sometime before this day and he'll have a firefly lantern for sale.  If
you are courting Maria, you can do something special this night.  *Picture*
24th- Sea Festival.  This is where you compete in a swimming contest.  They
talk about timing, but disregard that, just push the A button like crazy and
as fast as you can.  Kai or Gray usually wins, if you win though you get the
Invincible Katori (*see Secrets).  After that, you win regular prizes like a
month of fodder or 5000 pieces of lumber.  *Picture*
~*Fall*~
1st- Elli's Birthday! Give her milk or eggs!
1st-10th-Library closed (not sure)
1st-30th- Essence of Moondrop.  Elli may come over at some time in the evening
and ask to do this with you.  *Picture*
1st-30th- Keifu Fairy Dance.  Karen will come over some time in the evening and
ask you to join her.  NOTE: you must have restored the vineyard to do this
(see Secrets).  *Picture*
2nd-4th- Cow Festival.  On the 2nd, Kent will come and tell you which cow he
thinks will win.  Listen to him, the cow he chooses pretty much wins, so on
the 3rd when Ann's dad comes give him the cow Kent chose.  Nothing much here,
you get to talk to everyone and then the winner will be chosen.  Yours
hopefully, if your cow does win then it will start producing Special milk.
*7th of Fall*-  Karen comes and asks you to see the Keifu Fairies.  I'm
unsure of this date, someone gave it to me saying that she would come.  You
must be there before 6:00 or she won't come.
*10th of Fall*- Elli comes and asks you to do the Potion.  Same thing applies
here, same person gave me the information.  Again, you must be there before 6
o'clock.
10th-Full Moon.  Now I'm not sure if you do this when you are married or if
you can still do it when you are not.  It's only happened when I was married.
Your wife will be waiting outside for you at night.  She will ask if you want
to go see the full moon.  You can go if you want to.  This is another
festival where your kid will be at.  After the Full Moon, you can go get the
Berry of the Full Moon Plant (*see secrets).
12th- Harvest Festival.  You want to go to this!!!  They will be choosing next
year's King, which you want to be.  Now the choosing is totally luck, either
you get the coin in the cake or you don't.  The girls may have cooked
something up, so test it.  To Popuri's dish say it tastes strange or she'll
get mad at you.  If you are King, you get to participate in the Spirit
Festival. ***Strategy*** (thanks to Trev79), there is one way you can become
King.  It is based totally on luck, but there is a way you can be King every
year.  Save the game, 2 to 3 days before the festival.  Go to it and if you
aren't King, reset it, and try again.  Every 4th time, you are chosen as
King.  Another thing, do not save on the day of the Festival, because the
King is chosen as soon as you go to sleep.
20th- Egg Festival.  It's like an Easter Bunny thing, try to find the eggs.
Very easy since you are the only person competing although if you don't do
anything someone else may win, like Jeff. The first year you get a Power
Berry, the 2nd year you will get a Turtle Figurine, see secrets to see what it
does.  After that, you will get wood, fodder, etc.
23rd-27th-Bridge Repair.  The Head Carpenter will come and ask you to help him.
You earn 1000G every time you work, a very easy way to get 5000G.  Work ends
at 3 o'clock, just go there around 1 or so.  After it's done you can go up to
Moon Mt. officially, even though you could just climb that tree to get up
there.  In appreciation of your help, they will give you some lumber like 10
pieces.
27th-Deadline for Fall Horse Race Entry.
28th- Horse Race.  Same as the Spring, hopefully you can win it.
30th-In the first year, Ann's Dad will come and ask you if you can take care
of some cows.  You should do this if you have enough fodder; he'll give you 3
cows that will stay for a week.  Make sure above all else that they do not
fall sick, and brush them and talk to them too.  After you've looked after
them, he'll give you 2000G.  He says he may need a favor in the future, it
hasn't happen to me but that's because my barn is full.
~*Winter*~
1st-10th- Library closed.
1st-30th- Pika Bunny.  Ann will come over in the daytime and asks if you want
to see a curious animal.  *Picture*
10th- Thanksgiving.  The girl who likes you or if they all like you, will come
over and give you a cake.  Stay home and wait for them, it will make them
like you more.  When you are married, your wife will give you a cake in the
kitchen around 5 to 7 p.m.
8th-30th- Mine Open to Public.  This is where you can mine for things.  If you
don't have a greenhouse then this is the way for you to make money.  Once you
go in you can't come out until 5, so make sure you are ready.
11th- Maria's birthday.  Give her a cabbage.
12th-16th- Work on Mountain Spring.  The Head Carpenter will come and ask for
your help again.  You'll be building where the 3 tree stumps are.  After you
are finished, those stumps will be gone forever, and all the goodies you
could forage there.  I hope that you used that place a lot, wood will be slow
coming in from now on.  They will pay you 1000G a day again, and will give
you some more wood.  The spa will help you a lot through out the game, will
keep you relaxed.  *Picture*
18th- Deadline for Entering Dog Race.
19th- Dog Race.  I hope you have been giving your dog attention, or else he'll
lose.  Use the strategies I told you about in Animals.  There is a strategy
to winning the dog race, that some one told me.  Even though you don't have
to do anything in the race, if you push the A button rapidly while your dog
is racing, he'll speed up and get in 1st or 2nd place.  The prizes are: Awesome
House 3000 medals (it's a cool dog house), Moo Moo Clock 1000 medals (changes
your clock on the rucksack screen), 500 lumber pieces 500 medals.  I like
Maron, Bisch, Karin, Wonder, and Koshi.  *Picture*
24th- Starry Night.  This is one of the sweetest holidays in my opinion.  It
is where you get to spend the night with the girl you love.  Karen is at the
beach, Popouri in the woods, and Elli, Ann, and Maria inside the church.
25th-29th- Raffle.  Talk to Greg and Lillia and they will enter you into the
lottery.  If you win, you get a decoration.
27th- Spirit Festival.  Unless you are King or if the King asks you,
you will watch the festival.  You need to buy the Ocarina (see Secrets) to do
this festival at all.  Here is a mystery for you, who is the person behind
the mask?
29th- Karen's birthday! Give her berries, grapes.
30th- New Years Party.  Go to the bar and Ann and Karen will be there, though
Elli, Popouri, and Maria are at church.  After that, the girl you like may
ask you to watch the sunrise with her.
Photo Album-
These are listed in no particular order, just all put down.  I tell you
how you get the photos too.  I'm still not sure about the Girl pics, whether
you are able to get them if you are married or not (or the girls for that
matter).  I also know that it may take a year before the pics will happen.
For example, the year after the Vineyard is restored then Karen will come to
you.  I'm still trying to find that out but if anybody knows the answer to
that question, please tell me.
1.    Wedding Ceremony- get married
2.    Baby delivery- get your wife pregnant (*see Girls)
3.    Rode a balloon- must be the King not the assistant
4.    Horse Race Champion- win the horse race
5.    Swimming Champion- win that race
6.    Dog Race Champion- same thing
7.    Completion of Hot Springs- help out at least one day (the last one) and go
up to hot springs, preferably help them all the time
8.    All building extensions- get them all
9.    Sightseeing with 3 girls- 1st win the cow festival, then let your cows out
and the girls will come and ask to take a pic
10.    Blue Mist event- already described in Calendar
11.    Firefly Night- must be on good terms with Maria (red or yellow heart),
will come to you at night a few days before the Firefly Festival (or
after, or even on the Firefly Festival)
12.    Essence of Moondrop- the same with Elli, Fall evening, wait at your
farm for her to get you
13.    Pika Bunny- same with Ann, during the Winter, she will come and take
you in the morning
14.    Keifu Fairy Dance- same with Karen, MUST restore the vineyard, Fall
evening
15.    Party with Everyone- must be friends with EVERYONE, married, house has
all extensions, have a kid, then there will be a party at your farm (that
means Cliff, Karen, and Kai are still around)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.) Map
I'm not a good drawer, but I can point out where everything is as we go
through the various areas.  I'll use the cardinal directions to help with
locations; North is the top of your TV screen.  I'll also be using left and
right but this is meant towards the character not you, like to the
character's left is the shipping box.  I'll be listing when the shops are
opened and closed in here too.
Your House-
From entering the house, you are in the main bedroom.  To your right is
your toolbox, where tools are stored.  When your hands are full with tools,
every tool you buy will be shipped to your toolbox.  You can trade tools by
pressing A on one item and pressing A on the other item.  To your left is a
cabinet, when you buy it.  You can store things like flowers, stuff from the
mine, and wool, anything that is not food.  In the corner is the bed.  Above
the little nightstand is your calendar.  Your TV has 4 channels, C^ is the
weather channel C> is the Events channel (monthly, gives the dates of
festivals) Cv is the Educational Channel (gives advice on farming) C< is the
Entertainment Channel.  To the upper right corner, the stairs will be built.
In between the toolbox and stairs is the Invincible Katori.  The baby bed
will be underneath your bed.  There is a table in the middle of the room.
The Farm-
From the starting point on the 3rd of Spring.  Your house is behind you,
the doghouse is on the right, and the shipping box is on the left, the Buyer
will come on 5 o'clock to pick up anything.  The mailbox is right next to the
entrance of your farm.  The Field is that big patch of dirt on your far left.
There is a row of buildings on the northeast side of the farm, a line of
buildings.  The first building is the stable for your horse, the second the
barn, the third the silo which holds 999 amount of fodder, the fourth the
chicken coop, and the fifth the lumber stack which holds 999 pieces of
lumber.  The pond is following, with your only tree in the corner.
The Crossroads-
I call the place that is outside the farm the crossroads, because you can
go many places.  Green Ranch is to your left (from the entrance), the path to
Moon Mt. to the right with the Vineyard forking from it.  The town is ahead;
the left is to the lower part of town, the right to the higher.
Green Ranch-
This screen also leads you to the beach, by taking an immediate left as
soon as you go onto the screen (character's left).  When you go into Green
Ranch, the shop is on your left, it is open from 8 to 5 and closed on
Thursdays.  To your right is a house that is vacant, Ann and Gray go there
when it rains.  If you go further down, next to the house is an opening to
the pasture, go in there.  On the southwest side, you will usually find Ann
and Gray walking around.  The Barn is directly in front of you.
Vineyard-
When you walk all the way up to the entrance, the Wine cellar is on the
left and the house is on the right.  Kai and Karen's Dad are usually near the
house.  When it rains Kai will be in the Wine cellar, and Karen's Mom and Dad
will be in the house.  Straight in front of you is the vineyard.  In the
North, in the corner, is a dead tree.  If you go into the Wine cellar, if you
have the bottle, you can get free wine from the barrels.
Moon Mountain-
As soon as you enter the screen, you are in the fisherman area.  There is
a bridge leading to the Carpenter area on your left.  The fisherman's tent is
on your right with the Sea Imp pond behind it.  A good fishing spot is to
your left.  If you go straight ahead, you'll climb up this path to the 3
stump/hot springs area.  Cut up the stumps while you can until the carpenters
start building the hot springs.  To your left is the bridge to Moon Mountain,
go up that.  Follow the path to the restaurant and Moon Mountain.  The
restaurant has the hours of 9 to 5, but they don't sell you anything.
Further up is Moon Mountain, nothing special really.  Go back down to the
area where you can cross the bridge, instead of crossing the bridge go to the
edge of the mountain.  Go up to where a tree top is close to the cliff, press
A and you will jump down.  You are now in the Carpenter area.  To your right
is the solitary tree which can be climbed on with the A button, behind you is
the cave.  In front of you is the carpenter's house, which is open 8 to 5 and
is closed on Tuesday.  If you go straight down, the bridge to the Fisherman
area is to your left, and to your right is a path that leads to the Goddess
Meadow.  Head back to the cave entrance and go inside.  If you go straight
ahead, you'll meet a Sprite, if you go behind him there is a hole in the
wall, press A to go in.  You are in the Sprites' room.  Here there are two
other sprites.  Go out and to your right there is a door.  This is the
entrance to the mine.  Now get out of the cave and head towards the Goddess
Meadow.  When you enter it, the Goddess Pond is to the right of the little
bridge.
Flower Bud Village-
Higher-
So take the right fork in the road, this will lead you to the busier part
of town, which you will visit more often.  From the main path, I'll list the
stores on each side.  On your right side is the Flower Shop, which is open
from 9 to 5 and closed on Sundays.  On your left is the Cake Shop, which is
open from the same times and is closed on Monday.  Further along the road,
the church will be on the right, same hours, never closed though.  Continue
down and to the right is the Inn/Bar, which is open from 6 to Midnight and is
closed on Sundays.  To the left are two shops.  The one closer to Town Square
is the Tool Shop, which is open from 10 to 6, and is supposed to be only
closed on the weekend (including Friday), and Wednesday, Rick doesn't always
have it open though to the frustrations of many.  The other shop, which is
closer to the Cake Shop, is the Souvenir Shop, this is where Siabrasa is, and
it is open from 9 to 5 and closed on Mondays.  Straight ahead of you is the
Town Square, which is always open, but is used for Festivals.  On the lower
path, there will be two small bridges that will lead to Lower Flower Bud
Village.
Lower-
Taking the left fork in the road, you will enter the housing area.  On
your right is the Potion Shop, which is closed on the weekend (Friday it is
open), and is open from 9 to 5.  Further down is the graveyard to your left
and the Midwife's house to your right.  Go further down and to your left is a
path to the Mayor's house and to your right is the Library, which is open
from 9 to 5 and closed on Mondays.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.) The Walk-Through
Objective:
Well, these are the things I want you to have by the evaluation.  Friends
with everyone, all the buildings the carpenters build, all the girls have red
hearts for you, married, have a kid, 8 cattle, 6 chickens, all the power
berries and all the recipes.  I'll describe my strategy.  The first year is
the survival year, which is mainly where you are trying to get cash and at
least your girl.  The 2nd year is the Social year.  I'll explain more when I
get to each year.  I have something to say about your birthday, place it in
the Winter or Fall.  If it is in the Spring or Summer, people won't give you
a birthday present because they don't know you enough.  You can place it in
the spring and  just not marry until after your birthday in the 2nd year.
***IMPORTANT TIP***
Now, say you missed some crucial event with your girl, or a festival, or a
typhoon for that matter.  There is a way you can go back and start over.
This is by backing up you game.  On the menu where you select the game, you
want to play, go to button that says "Move".  Then select the file you want
to 'move' (move as in copy), then select another file to copy this one too.
Be aware that any data you have on the file you are replacing with a copy
will be lost.  You now have a backup of your game.  My advice is to make a
backup every week, to be on the safe side.  Believe me, it will save your
skin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FIRST YEAR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This year I have objectives for you.  I'll tell you what generally should
be done in each season and maybe a brief touch on the daily schedule.  I'll
include the money you get from all the items of that season, etc.  The main
objective for this year is to get married to the girl you are chasing, and
have enough money and wood for a greenhouse.  I have a few more objectives:
befriend Karen, Kai, Cliff, the Sprites, and Elli's Grandma.  These people
can leave the game but most importantly, they have recipes you need.  Also,
wouldn't it be nice to have them around town anyway?  Please take a look at
the Girl section so you know who you will start courting and how.
+++++++++++++++++++
SPRING
+++++++++++++++++++
Mainly here is your schedule: Water/Harvest Plants, Feed Animals; in
the morning; Forage, chase girl; in the evening/afternoon.  The main
accomplishments for this month is: get your girl's heart to a blue, get
Karen's heart to a blue, befriend the other people, and at least have one
chicken.  You will be using cabbages right now, and only those, yes, I know
there are recipes to collect but that's for next year.
Cabbages: Seed Cost 200G  Potatoes: Seed Cost 200G  Turnips: Seed Cost 200G
Unit Price 90G            Unit Price 80G           Unit Price 80G
Growth 7 days             Growth 6 days            Growth 4 days
Veryberry: Unit price 40G  Medicinal Unit Price 70G  Edible Unit Price 30G
Fruit:     Number of 4     Herbs:    Number of 3     Herbs: Number of 2
3rd Day of Spring-
Take the tour with the mayor, after that is done go to the Flower shop and
buy one pack of cabbage seeds.  Next go to Green Ranch and get your horse
(just enter the pasture).  Go to the field, and start tilling a 3x3 square
adjacent to the shipping box.  After that is done, plant your seeds then
water them.  Next go to the Vineyard, and you will see a little fight, then
leave.  Go to Moon Mountain and get as much stuff as you can: 1 flower, 1
edible grass, and 2 veryberry must be saved not shipped.  Give the Sprite the
edible herb beside him.  The locations of the berries are: fisherman, Hot
Spring/3 stump, carpenter, and Goddess Meadow.  The edible herbs: cave and
fisherman area.  The medicinal herbs: cave and Goddess Meadow.  By this time,
it should be night, if it isn't go back to your farm and destroy boulders or
stumps (leave the little stones alone for now, I have a tip about them).
When it is dark, head towards the Bar.  Give the bartender a berry, this will
become a regular process, so always have a berry when you go to the bar.  Go
back to your farm, do whatever until it is 9 or 10 PM.  Don't forget to talk
to your horse.  Feed your dog that herb in the morning.  Follow this
schedule.  In the afternoon, give Karen a berry.  As soon as you can plant 1
more field of cabbage
4th through 16th-
Go to the Sowing Festival, and signal the balloons.  You should have 2
fields of cabbages that are being harvested soon.  Keep to 2 fields mainly
because watering takes so much time (that's until you get to 2nd level).  You
should have gotten the Old Wine from the Bartender right now (if you have
been shirking, shame on you).  You should have been giving him berries for
the past 13 days, if you haven't then start right back up.  It may be easier
to give berries to Karen too at the bar (if you are not chasing her).  I know
it may take a little more time that you don't have, but you need to befriend
her so she won't leave!  Don't forget about Kai, if you can, give him lots of
gifts and he'll marry Karen, which will keep them in place.  You should have
around a 1000G by now, or at least hopefully.  There is no need to go to the
Horse Race, since your horse is still a colt, and you can't be spending your
money so freely.  Try to buy a pack of grass seed, if you have more than
1000G.  Plant it next to the entrance to the barn.  Leave a space on each
side, so it should look like this, x equals grass, - equals space.
----              ========
xxx-   Barn       =xxxxxx-  Barn
xxx-              =xxxxxx-  Entrance
xxx-              =xxxxxx=
++++++++
I have the ideal place for a pasture, right next to the barn.  You need to
make a fence for 2 3x3 squares side by side, straight down the field the
field (look at the 2nd figure, = means stone, + means to continue to the
bottom of the field).  Your goal is to have a huge pasture by the evaluation.
Don't use lumber for the fences, use stones, so you won't waste energy
destroying them and you will never have to fix them (since lumber
deteriorates after time).  Leave gaps in between the stones every 5 or so, so
you can skip across the pasture if need be.  (place lumber in those spaces.)
Now you don't have to waste lumber anymore.
23rd of Spring-
Go to this Festival.  See if your girl is Goddess or not (pros and cons).
If she is then you can't dance with her unless you are the King, but you can
compliment her.  If she isn't then you can dance with her, dancing with a
girl raises their feeling level towards you.  At this festival you want to
buy the bottle sold by Rick and the Power Berry sold buy the Salesman.  If
you don't have enough money to buy the Power Berry (1000G), then there is
always next year.  If you are faced with the choice between the bottle and
the power berry, get the bottle because you can store medicine in it.  They
will both be at the Flower Festival every year until you buy them.
26th-30th Spring
Try to buy a chicken during these dates.  Though save enough money to buy
at least two bags of Summer crops.  Don't forget to keep a vegetable in your
rucksack for the Vegetable festival on the 9th of Summer.
Completions:  Hopefully these are the things you have completed: get your
girl to a blue, get Karen to a blue, get Kai and Cliff as friends, have at
least one chicken, the Old wine, and a bottle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUMMER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Objectives: Your schedule is the same with caring for animals in the
morning.  The objectives are to: get your girl to a green heart, get Karen to
a green heart, win the Sea Festival, win the Vegetable festival, and have a
cow or a sheep.  A strategy for your crops is to buy at least two bags and
then after they have been bringing in income, buy three more (believe me
that's plenty). NOTE: Edible Herbs and Medicinal Herbs are in all the seasons
except Winter.  One of the most IMPORTANT things this month is to give Elli's
Grandma a walnut so she will give you a recipe, before you do that go up to
Moon Mt. via the tree and give the Old Lady a edible herb.
Tomatoes: Seed Cost 300G     Corn: Seed Cost 300G
Unit Price 100G          Unit Price 120G
Growth 9 days            Growth 9 days
Walnuts: Unit Price 70G     Tropical Fruit: Unit Price 40G
Number of 2                        Number of 2
1st-13th of Summer
You want to buy one bag of tomatoes and corn.  When the money starts
rolling in from foraging, buy two more bags of tomatoes and one of corn.  The
first few days are slow, except maybe the 1st.  If the girl you are chasing
likes you, she will come to your farm and tell you where she will be.  During
these slow days, spend them with your girl.  Also, work with either Karen or
Kai, Kai to get them married, or Karen to get her to love you.  I want you to
work her up to a yellow heart by the end of the year so she won't leave so
soon.  The walnuts are found next to the river on both sides, the tropical
fruit is near the solitary tree and up in the 3-stump area.  Start chopping
wood when you go foraging, this will become a routine so get used to it.
Use this planting field for corn and tomatoes:

13th-30th of Summer
You should have enough money now to buy a sheep and a cow, go ahead and get
them.  You don't need the milker or the shears until they are grown up so
don't worry about that.  Before the Sea Festival, go to the Goddess in the
morning (do nothing and go and see her at 9 o'clock, remember NOTHING), toss
a veggie in, and wish for strength.  If you listened to me and did what I
said, she'll give you a Power Berry.  Try to win the Sea Festival, if not, no
big deal.  The Invincible Katori does help though, and is crucial for the
protection of your greenhouse.  You should have your girl's heart to a green.
Good job!  Keep on chopping wood, hopefully, you will be able to build a
kitchen by the middle of Fall.
Completions: Got the recipe from Old Lady and Elli's Grandma, was able to get
your girl to a green, either get Kai married, or get Karen to a green, and
have at least 150 pieces of wood.  Your watering can should be at its 2nd
level, in fact all of your tools should.  If they aren't just bang them
around inside and use them to get experience.
FALL
Objectives: Get your girl's heart to a yellow, get Kai and Karen married
(or get her to a yellow), have the baby's bed, bathroom, and kitchen.  Become
good friends with Cliff, win the Horse Race, become King, win the Egg
Festival, and have two more cows.  For the cows, buy one and impregnate the
one you already have.  Same schedule, don't forget to fish a little.  Cutting
grass is important right now, make sure you have plenty for your cattle.
Chopping wood is important now too!  Chop as much as you can.  Planting
veggies won't get you many cash, but plant two bags of eggplants.  Save up on
your girl's favorite gifts for the Winter, and a few treats for your dog.
Eggplants: Seed Cost 300G       Wild Grapes: Unit Price 40G
