Then, buy the seed harvester. The next summer, take your bananas and harvest the seeds. Early in the game, the best way to make money is to fish. Buy the rod from Van and go up the river to where you see three rocks. You can make over a 1, in money a day. Also, if you cast and there are no bites for a very long time, don't give up and don't recast either! Wait it out and you'll be rewarded with a Yamame or Big Yamame, which go for and 1, respectively. To find out how much the girl of your dreams wants you, look at her diary.
You can find Celia's on her bed in the upstairs of her house. For Molly, you can look on the table with the flowers at the Blue Bar. For Nami, follow her to her room at the Inner Inn. It's pretty easy to win over any of the girls. You just have to give Muffy almost any flower, or you can give her the Pretty Ore. Also, she only likes one fish--the Big Huechep.
To Nami give her artifacts and in the fall give her trick blue flowers. Give Celia flowers and she will love you anyday. Give your girl one of these things each day and she will be falling for you in no time. If you do have trouble getting Nami to fall for you, just propose to the other girls and she will get jealous, and end up liking you more. When it's stormy outside and you want to stop the rain, visit a mine and do some digging.
As you emerge from the mine the rain will stop. Select the Diary and choose to sleep. Save the game when prompted to, and then reset your GameCube. Load the save file you just made and you'll begin before you went to sleep but will be fully rested. Give Celia a flower every day, and buy seeds from her occassionally. Her diary tells you how she likes you--if it's red, she digs you. You can view her diary on her bed. If you are having trouble making money, gather up all of your fodder. Fodder sells for 10 gold a piece and one sell of 99 pieces will get you gold.
Before attending a horse race, save your game ahead of time. After the race ends, remember who won the race, then reset your GameCube and load the file you saved before the race happened. When the occasion comes usually 2x a day that your cow has milk, find the thing and hit x when it says milk. If you want to be nicer to your cow use the cow milker in the rucksack. When you manage to get 60, dollars you can get a milk room,this treats your cows more nicely and gives you better milk.
You won't have to hand milk your cows once you get it, just push them in the room. But what if your cow isn't giving milk after an extended period of time?
Well, if you ordered it from the storage room, wait for a couple of seasons allow it to grow and select miracle potion from the order list. If you don't have a bull use another bull this costs money. It takes a while for the calf to be born. When it is, your calf sits in a tent. Your mother cow gives mother's milk for about half a season comes in baby bottle ,and if you feed it to the calf it will grow. Are you starting to catch on?
Well there is still some more explaining on how to play. You can buy things not elsewhere found from him, and sell any and everything you get in the game it has to be in your rucksack.
But where the heck is he at?! Go just left of the Blue Bar and some fat guy in blue overalls and red shirt he looks Italian all dressed up because of his mustachio will be standing around with boxes and stuff.
That's Van. You can buy a fishing rod from him. This is also where you get the brush for your animals. He has ener gy drinks too. Every chapter you will be able to buy something new from him.
The best things to sell him are Dhibe cakes under dessert menu in the kitchen use dhibe milk and an egg , fish, and things from the dig site. A dhibe is just a combination oftwo crops strawberry and turnip. You can combine crops into hybrids by using a pla nt named Tartan. To use the fishing rod, get it out of the rucksack and walk up to a body of wat er and hit x.
You will sometime feel small bites. Then the red bobby will dip down into the water. When it comes back up press and hold x until you catch the fish. This takes some practice. It helps to turn vibration on by going in your house and reading Takakura's notes to turn on vibration. I usually read somethin and wait to feel a vibration to resume playing. I know the rod is expensive but some fish go for and up if you sell them to Van.
IF the rod is too expens ive, in the 2nd chapter up if you befriend Galen he will give you a cooler one. If you sell something to him and it is worth over , select no until he raises his offer. Sometimes this will take a few tries. But the product has to be or up to do this 'haggling' of sorts. If you find his energy drinks to expensive you can always go to the blue bar, th ough it isn't cheap either. In the fourth year, you can purchase a flower pot. As far as I know, this serves no purpose but when you press x on it, it gives you a recipe , and is relatively expensive.
I bought it anyway simply because I want a more decorated home. While on the subject of personalizing your home, you can also buy new interiors for your home. One of these is , G! But the cheapest is only , though not as awesome as the others.
Who does what and where do they live? Well, as read from the manual, here are the characters. Don't know who to choose? What should you give them? What times are they home?
What do they like? When should I propose? HOW do I propose? Very faq questions, right? Well, let me help you out a bit. Celia Celia is quiet and doesn't talk much about her interests, so Vesta might speak for her. She likes all animals and knows a thing or two about crops. Give her plenty of gifts, one a day every day starting from day one. Go to the house on Vesta's Farm and go upstairs.
Press x on the bed and see what she feels Lumina New to dating, Lumina is 18 and looking for a supportive hubby, she enjoys gifts such as flowers, things from the dig site, and keeps her diary in her room at the Villa. I still haven't bewedded Lumina 2x for the boy and girl. Muffy Muffy is the oldest bride you can get.
She won't work on your farm though. Plain old flowers are the best thing to give her, so you don't need to spend money on her.
You can find her diary at the Blue Bar go to the top of the bar's main room. Nami Nami is the smartest of all the brides. She won't fall for normal gifts such as flowers. Try varying items from the dig. She likes finding out in- fo about different cultures.
Her diary is at the top of the Inner Inn. Around the Summer of the first chapter Nik Nak and Flak will give you a blue feather. Give this to the person you want to marry, but their hearts need to be up to 3 for a while before attempting this.
As you can see, there are four girls you can marry. You don't need to waste food for them, they all except Nami will take flowers. You can find flowers on the ground throughout the whole game. If you want to know how much they like you go to whatever building they reside in, and in their room you will find a diary. Muffy's is in the Blue Bar go to the flowers sitting on the shelves.
Nami's can be found in the 2nd floor of Inner Inn door on the left, on the bed. Celia lives in Vesta's Farm up the stairs, on the bed. Lumina lives in the Villa. You have to go to the 2nd floor on the right. Her's is also on the bed. Throughout the first Chapter there will be scenes with your soon-to-be showing you that you are progressing.
Remember to give them a gift every day! Almost alw ays you'll see Muffy's scene where she gets attacked by your dog. This happens to me too, even if I haven't been nice to her.
Just keep at this daily routine. If you mess up you can just reset the game depending on how often you save. You definetly need to keep that in mind: save often. After every major event of the day save.
Save after watering crops, then save after tending to the animals, save after giving gifts, save after ordering, and save after acquiring. The most important part to save is when you have progressed with you gal. If you are begi nning to get paranoid that [insert wife here] doesn't like you enough, propose to someone. This may sound crazy but proposing to someone who then refuses will get others to like you. Of course, if you haven't been doing anything with them they all will refuse your generous offer.
Food Processing Room If you still have a normal cow giving milk, this can help A LOT. If the quality is S, then you will get good cheese or good butter. These can be sold for , haggled. Regular versions of these foods only sell for around , so if your milk isn't S it won't be as good. Only use normal milk or you will be losing money.
Star Cows Their S milk can be sold for over each, and when they first star t to give you milk they will give 10 a day.
If the quality of their milk goes down, giving them good fodder will help, but eventually they only give you a few A or B milks a day. Here is the prices of milks Normal cow B A S 75 Brown B A S Marble B A S Star B A S Sheep can also be a good money maker, they only eat half as much as cows and onl y need half as much attention.
Prices for wool are listed below. With luck, you can bring in about G in a day of fishing. If you swim at the river right across from the farm, you might catch a Huge Sharshark. Then, go to the Spring and fish in the Lake there. A huge Arna can be caught here. Just those 2 fish are worth several thousand G. It should be noted that these are the 2 rarest fish in the game. Th is idea is simply ludicrous, so a couple fish a day will be good.
Here are fish in abc order. Below the regular price is the haggled price. I don't have the tiny sizes listed because I use those for food! There are a few listed, though. If you are friends with Darrel he will get this for you free of charge. Make sure you give him gifts as soon as possible because once you can or der it from the order form, it's too late to get one from Daryl. Anyways, this can come in handy.
If you put a crop in it or fruit the next day you will get two seeds. Here is an example of a way to make a lot of money from it: If you have 16 bananas, put half of them in the Seed Maker.
Then, once all of them have grown should be 16 trees you will have bananas galore to sell, and they are valuable when sold to Van. Typically, if you wait long enough, you will get 16 fruit from a tree. That is a lot of money. Here is a list of things you can find.
Notice that it only goes to Chap. Well, that's where I am in the game as of now so sorry. You can still find items from the previous chapters too. A big one at that, coming in at 60, G it is one of the most expensive items. You have to push your cows into a room your- self no bell and set them by a machine for it to work. This can end up taking more time than regular milking and uses more stamina.
UPDATE I got an e-mail from rijax-rayha that went a little like this: i noticed you sead that the milk prossing room was not worth getting because you need to manyualy push your cows in the bilding But i have discoverd that when the cows are outside you can Train your cows to go in on ther own pick a set time in the morning and in the after noon push your cows in the bulding at those times for i think 3 days and after that the cows will actualy go in the bulding themselvs if left outside!!! No, seriously do it.
Fertilizer Maker This is very useful, and is only 15, For every 2 items that you throw away in the barn's trash can, you get 1 unit of fertilizer. I use flowers because on days they grow you can get 30 at once.
That's 15 units for fr ee! Since I have the Great Field, I don't use the fertilizer on crops, just the pasture. This is only and if yo buy it in CH1, then in CH2 you can get a duck You have to wake up after your wife has left the house, so find out when she lea ves the home, and when you go outside she mentions ducks are in the Pond and you can keep them.
Just don't put fertilizer in front of the tree in the pasture due to the fact that it is where the pond is located. Great Field Perhaps the most cost efficient expansion.
It is 20, G, so it's not the cheapest item on the block. Chicken Yard I still haven't bought one of these, I just don't see a need to The price is only 10, Basically it is a fence beside the coop where you keep your chickens you have to bring them out yourself no bell , and they sometimes go back in the coop on their own. The good part is that there is always food in it so you won't have to buy feed. Without a bell, I don't see a use for this si nce you can't hold anymore chickens than 8 anyway, seems like it is the equiva- lent of the Milk Proccessing Room for chickens.
Since I have rarely mentioned the chicken let's start with it. First buy a hen, you will get an egg from it every day and they wi ll sell for 40 each. Then get a rooster, your hen will now sometimes lay fertili zed eggs now. These are a little more pink, if you are not sure what kind of egg it is, press x. Put the egg in the incubator and in roughly a season the egg hat ches.
If you get a male, sell it once it is worth , if it's a female keep it. If you are nice enough to your chicken, it will give you a golden egg which can be sold for , a hefty price considering eggs and fertilized eggs sell for 40 and 50, respectively.
If you can't seem to be able to put a fertilized egg in an incubator, count how many fowls you have. If you have 8, there's your problem se ll one. Depending on how much chickens you have, you will have to buy new bird feed from time to time. If you have the Pond by Year 1, and are in Summer of Year 2, and have read how to get a duck in the section entitled Pond above, and still can't seem to get one, sell a chick.
You can't have anyomore than 5 to get a duck. The duc has eggs that are identical to the chicken, meaning, you can't tell them apart. Also, if you have the Pond by year one, you can still get ducks on other summers if you don't the second one. These are the best money makers, and have been thoroughly discussed thr oughout this guide. Basically just put fodder in the feedbox every time you see an empty slot, talk to, brush, and heart it once a day.
If weather permits, let them outside and wash them. I personally have 2, they aren't a whole lot of money G ,and can make you a lot of money if taken care of. Their wool will grow once a season, wa sh them to improve the wool's quality. Then, when they have a LOT of wool, cut t he poor thing. Mine like to find a wall and run full speed at it all day, which is weird, but I guess it is their only means of indoor exercise.
If you buy one of these, when a miracle potion is used select farm's bull and choose which bull you want. This is free. If you choose another bull it will cost G and it will only be a normal bull. Different bulls and cow type produce different calf types. These pretty much need the same attention as any other cow.
During the Summer of the first chapter Takakura will give you a free animal. A horse basically. You can get a different color, I've had white and an orange-brown looking one. There are a few more, I think you can get black and a darker brown one from what I've heard. Lately I have been getting a lot of e-mai ls about the horse.
A few of you have said that Takakura has not yet given you a horse. To be honest I have no idea why, some who have e-mailed me said they were in the fall! Every game I have played Takakura gives me a horse on Day 1 of Summer. I believe when you get it Takakura says it is a reward since you have go tten the hang of things.
So be prosperous, and be kind and attentive to crops and animals and you should get it. Order it from Van for year 2 and 3. After a year it won't give any more milk This will be given to you by Romana sometime in the 3rd Ch, it just eats. Dog, put food in it's bowl as much as possible the cat also eats from it and tr ain it a lot every day until it won't train any more!
That pretty much covers the animals. Except of course how much it costs to maint ain them as well as selling their foods. You can only get a male G. Fishing rod This is given to you by Galen. I don't know if it is any better t han the fishing rod, but I did catch a Huge Arna the first time I used it. Just give him gifts for while until sometime in CH2 or 3 he gives it to you.
It took me five days of giving him a fish once a day in Year 3 to get it. Fishing pole This one is bought from Van for g. This is used to brush and wash an animal, I don't know if there are any diffrent brushes though.
Rick W says no :P Wool Clippers This is Wally's gift to you. You can get it in Year 1, but I did n't get it until the 2nd year because our schedules were much different. This is the standard tool to cut your sheeps wool, and can be ordere d using the order form. Wool Shears This won't take up as much stamina, and can also be ordred from th e order form. This is the hoe you get in the beginning of the game and eats up yo ur stamina. This comes from the order form and is a little easier on the back.
Also from the order form, it is very light. Strange Hoe You get this from Tim, it's really heavy but cuts more land. Weird Hoe Vesta gives this to you, it's got the same effect as it's strange version, but a little lighter. Cow Milker You get this for free, and is used to uh, milk. You can also milk via hand or room. When you buy a goat from Van, you also get this to milk it.
Get it from the order form, isn't as heavy as the other. Also available via order form, it is the lightest one. Strange SIckle Get this from Cody, it covers more land but is heavy. Weird sickleS This is from Dr. Hardy, I haven't noticed any difference between this one and the strange one. The first one you get, holds 35 squares. This is from the order form and hold squares. Romana gives this to you once you have a Great Field and she h as given you sheet music.
It only hold 10 squares, but it waters nine crops by pressing x once! I don't know of any other tools so that's it for now still trying to find anothe r brush. Here are some random prices for tools. When I say ledger it means you get it from the order form.
Heavy Hoe - Free, Starting tool get from Takakura. Sell for 35g. Sell for g, haggle for g Weird sickle - Get from Dr.
