[V.1] The Beginning of a New Journey
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
At the beginning, you will need to start to enter your name, your
birthday, your farm's name and dog's name. Just simply enter any names
that you preferred. I supposed it would be better if I warned you about
the "clashing" of the birthdays of the girls who you wished to go
dating with. If you got the same birthday as the girl, the birthdays
of the girl will be changed. Anyway, I will talk more about at the
start of the walkthrough; therefore don't worry about it.

[V.3] Farming Basics
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Before I begin this section, I assumed that you have briefly understood
the basic configuration/controls of Harvest Moon: BTN and read a bit
from your manual. Make sure that you have fully understood the game's
basic controls:

-[Rucksack]-
In the game, you will find Hero carrying a rucksack on his back. If you
hit the Triangle button, you will be able to view the rucksack screen.
The rucksack allows Hero to carry tools and items. Hero can only carry
an item on hand regardless whether it is a tool or item. While holding
an item, you cannot use a tool.

(In the game, there are three types of rucksack)
Rucksack - You will start the game with this. You can hold a maximum of
2 tools and 2 items. Please note that I have excluded the items on hand.

Medium Rucksack - You can buy this from the Supermarket for 3000 G. It
expands the carrying capacity of the rucksack to 4 tools and 4 items.

Large Rucksack - You can buy this from the Supermarket for 5000 G. It
will be applicable after you have bought the Medium Rucksack. It
expands the carrying capacity of the rucksack to 8 tools and 8 items.

To switch tools without using the shortcut key (Triangle button), you
just need to tap R1 to switch between tools and R2 to switch between
items. If you operate the rucksack from the menu, you can switch the
items by using D-Pad, X and Circle button. You can also view the status
of the item that is currently inside the rucksack.

-[Pick Up items]-
Picking up items is the most basic methods of getting items. You do not
need tools and just bare hands will do the trick. Just proceed to the
item that is on the ground and hit the X button to pick it up. Next,
you should have the following possibilities:

[1] Throw the item
You can throw the item away by hit the X button once the item is on
Hero's hand. IMO, knowing about this is very important. It allows you
to deposit items into the bin and throw garbage away. If you throw
'sellable items' onto the ground, they will be destroyed and you can't
recover them. Hence, make sure you aimed it properly! It works while
taking out fodder or chicken feed from the feed sheds inside the barn
or the henhouse.

[2] 'Spring Cleaning' (Dumping of garbage from the farm)
This is a farm-related technique. The items that are involved are 'log',
'stone', 'lumber' and 'weed'. You can find all of them inside the farm.

Log (It is represented by an orange branch)
Stone (It is represented by a small stone)
Lumber (It is represented by a vertical wood log)
Weed (It is represented by a patch of grass)

Log - This item will be damaged if you throw it outside the tilled soil
(sandy area) of the farm. However, it will still remain intact when
being thrown on the tilled soil. You can't count that as additional to
lumber unless you have chopped it down with an Ax.

Stone - This item will be damaged if you throw it outside the tilled
soil of the farm. However, it will remain intact on the tilled soil.
You can only eliminate it using the above method or using the hammer.

Lumber - This item can be gotten from the wood shed found in between
the barn and the stable. It will remain intact if you throw it on the
tilled soil, hence allow you to form a 'fence' when multiple lumbers
are being placed adjacent to each other.

Weed - It is just useless grass. It will be removed automatically
when you throw it away from the rucksack. You can also remove it
using the sickle.

[3] To give the item as a gift
With the item on the hands, you just need to hold down D-Pad against
the person and hit X to give to the other person. Some of items, such
as Pink Cat Flower, cannot be sold. But it can be offered as 'gifts'/
'presents' to fellow villagers. BTW, don't bother to offer precious ore
to ladies, as most of them may not like it.

[4] Consumption
If you hit Square button, Hero will consume the item if it is possible.
For example if Hero has an egg on hand, you hit the Square button. You
should see Hero consuming the egg. If the item on hand is a stone, you
will get no options. BTW, don't consume to all items, as some of them
are not edible and poisonous. Examples include the Red Grass.

[5] Keep it inside the Rucksack
I supposed the heading is quite clear. If you hit the R2 button, Hero
will keep the item inside his rucksack if possible. Please note that
the kept item will be brought to last position upon retrieving items.
To retrieve an item, you just need to hit R2 button again or make use
of the rucksack menu.

For more details, PLEASE refer to the V.9 'Menu Explanations' section.

-[Mining Basics]-
In the game (or Mineral Village), you will find two mines to mine. The
mines are pretty hard to locate for a begineer (I only discover the
first one on 7th of spring on my first game-play). Below is a
description of the location.

Mine #1 - behind the 'Goddess Pond' Waterfall.
At the hot spring area, you will find a hot spring along with a stream
and waterfall. You can go behind the hot spring and there is a small
pebble path, which leads to the mine.

Ores found in this mine: Junk Ore; Copper Ore; Silver Ore; Gold Ore and
Mystrile Ore. You can also find a Power berry here upon mining.

Mine #2 - the Winter Mine
This mine CAN ONLY be accessed in the winter. You need to go to the
Mother's Hill where you can find a lake. The lake will be frozen into
ice that you will be able to cross it to reach the mine. The mine
located in the middle of the lake. If you go down 10 levels, you will
be able to find a fishing pond in the underground where you can catch
a legendary fish...

Ores found in this mine: Junk Ore; Mystrile Ore; Orichalcum Ore and
Adamantite Ore. You can also find a Power Berry here upon mining.

Purpose of Mining:
Before I begin, you may need to know something about mining... Mining
is very important as it provides important ores to upgrade your tools.
The ores can be sold for money. The rare ores are intend to make the
OO Makers or the accessory (girl's present). Throughout mining, you
will be able to find useless ore (junk ore - which looks like a pile
of stone to me...) in all mines. They are useless and sold for a cheap
price of 1 gold. BTW, there is also money to be mined in the game! You
will find 'bags of gold' (Hero will pick and keep in his rucksack)
that causes 10G each. You may find manholes, which lead to the next
level of the mine. The general tip is to get as deep as possible, as it
increase the rate of you getting more ores for sale. Mining does not
really earn much but if you have a basket (bought from Supermarket for
5000G) where you can collect a maximum of 38 ores per trip to the mine.

General Tips - (applicable to both mines!)
NOTE: The tool used for mining is the Hoe. The special actions of hoe
have no effect while mining.

As you enter the mine, your objective is to find a manhole that leads
to the next level of the mine. For the first mine, the level is endless!
Dig five times at different spots: the northeast spot, northwest spot,
southeast spot, the middle spot and southwest spot. If you get junk ore,
throw it away and start to dig in a row until you find the manhole. If
you find a 'bag of gold', there is a high possibility that the manhole
is somewhere nearby. Once you have located the manhole, use D-Pad to
move towards it. You will get a message prompted whether to go down the
manhole pick 'Yes'.

To exit the mine from this point onwards, all you need to do is proceed
to the ladder and answer 'yes' on the prompt. Anyway, I got another
mining tip...

Let's say if the ladder is located on the left, you can find the next
manhole somewhere on right hand side of the mine. The manhole is
*normally* located on the opposite side of the ladder. Your objective
to locate a manhole ASAP for the first 5 levels and start to dig
intensively from the 6th level onwards. BTW, the location of the
manholes are at random. Use 'money bags' as a source to get rare ores
or manholes. The extreme ends of the mines contains no ore at all! BTW,
you just need to dig once per patch of land.

Stamina Indicator...
Please note: If your stamina starts to fade off to the extreme that
Hero pants and sat on the ground (his eyes will turn 'dark'), exit the
mine and proceed to the hot spring for a hour. It is crucially important
as to prevent sickness. It will be good to adopt a habit of visiting the
hot spring after every mining session when you have less than 6 power
berries. Best still, get a medicine from the Doctor and bring it along
with you to the mine. But I would prefer the first alternative as it is
free!

Shipping Basket Woes...
NOTE 2: If you bring the shipping basket to the mine, it is very
important that you bring it along with you when you go down to the next
manhole. If you left it at the mine there, you need to restart from the
entrance and dig until the level of the mine where you have left the
basket. Unfortunately in the game, it does not allow you to select the
desired level to mine. Even if you fainted, you will still be able to
find the shipping basket at the level where you have left it previously.
Be caution. If it happens that the basket was just being placed over the
manhole. Don't not move to close to the manhole and hit X to pick it.
If Hero is close enough, there isn't a need to use D-Pad to move
forward. When you see a prompt, pick 'No' if you haven't pick the
basket.

[Cost per item in mine]
Junk Ore 1G
Copper Ore 15G
Silver Ore 20G
Gold Ore 25G
Mystrile Ore 30G
Orichalcum Ore 50G
Adamantite Ore 50G

-[Fishing Basics]-
You can't start fishing at the start of the game... You need to get a
fishing rod (make sure you have an empty slot under equip section).
To get this equipment, you must go to the docks during 7am to 10am or
7pm to 10pm on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. You will be able to
meet Greg the fisherman. Talk to him and pick that you like fishing.
To fish, just simply equip the fishing rod on hand and hit Square on a
water filled area. After the cast has reached the water, do not release
the Square button. Hold down the button and wait for it to vibrate.
Once it starts to vibrate, release the square button. You will catch
a fish/ hooked up a garbage item or nothing! There are several places
where you can fish. I will elaborate more about them later.

You can breed fishes. [i.e. make a small fish to grow to large fish and
giving a new small fish when the existing small fish reaches the adult
stage]. To do this, you need to catch some fish (refer to the steps
that are mentioned in the paragraph above) and deposit them into the
fish pond. Next you need to get fish food through purchase only from
the Supermarket for 50G. You just need to deposit one fish food inside
the fish pond everyday. (The quantity of fishes in the pond does not
have any impact) You can only have 99 fishes in the fish pond. If you
have more than 50 fishes, you will see Greg visiting your pond and give
you a better fishing equipment. (You need to have an empty slot in the
equip portion before exiting the house in order to get the equipment)
The fishing pole is a better equipment compared to fishing rod. It is
not necessary that you need to use the fishing pole in order to catch
legendary fish. But some of legendary fishes requires a fishing pole.

There are several places where you can catch fish. They are the sea,
the lake, the waterfall, winter mine's pond and river streams. Weird
fishing spots include the hot-pot during Harvest Festival in Fall and
the fishing pond ^_^;) You can only catch large fish from the ocean.
The lake is fairly clean as being compared to other spots. The sea is
very dirty and you will get garbage most of time. But there is a tip,
which I myself also got from the library besides a fellow FAQ writer:

The books says something like the sentence below:
"The fish population in the sea has decreased greatly due to the
dumping of trash into the rivers and sea" (a.k.a water population)

You can 'increase' the fish population (easier to catch fish from the
ocean) by depositing the garbage into the trash bin found in the Rose
Square OR...

Get the basket (bought from Supermarket for 5000G) to the harbor. Place
the basket behind Hero. As you get a garbage item (e.g. fish bone,
trash can and boot), just aim and throw in the basket. You will find
the basket shakes a bit but there is no crops for sale! For my case, it
did helps to improve my chances of catching fish during winter.

[Cost per fish] [Unsellable Items]
Small Fish 100G Unused Can
Medium Fish 200G Boots
Large Fish* 300G Fish Bone

* You can only catches large fish in the sea/ocean. You can't sell
legendary fishes for money. After they are caught, you will find Hero
releasing them. But you will find 'a mark/icon' placed in the menu as
proof that you have caught the legendary fish.

-[Advanced Shipping Equipment: The Basket and Horse's Saddle Bag]-
There are two sets of equipment. They are the basket (bought from
Supermarket for 5000G) and the saddle (obtain when you are allowed to
keep the horse).

[The Basket]
This is perhaps the best tool that you need to ship your produce. The
basket can contain a maximum of 30 crops. [The term 'crop' here refers
to produce like herbs; mountain forage items such as mushrooms, ore
and diary products (wool, milk and eggs)] The basket is pretty useful
item and it is indispensable. The basket cannot be damaged by weather
hazards even if you left the item outside of the house. The basket
cannot be stolen by fellow villager. Even if you leave in a part of the
mine, you will still be able to retrieve by returning back to the mine.

To deposit an item (which cannot be taken out afterwards), just simply
position Hero in front of the basket (i.e. facing it) and hit X to
deposit the item on hand. If you drop a 31st item, it will be as good
as lost. To know how much the basket contain, make use of the Equip
menu to read. Hit Triangle button and move the cursor to the basket.
BTW, I would like to remind you that you can't take out items that you
have deposit. But depositing in the basket doesn't mean that it has
'been shipped'. (In the game, the produce is considered only shipped
when you have deposit it in the bin). Hence take the basket facing the
bin and hit Square. You will see an animation of Hero tilting the
basket. There will be no lost of items if you hit Square without making
contact with the bin. Normally, I would use the basket to collect eggs
from my chickens, barn animals, etc.

[Saddle]
What is the point of taking care of the pony that you have gotten
Saibara. There are typically three reasons and they are:
1) Every hearts the horse has gained, it accounts for 1% for your farm.
2) The horse allows you to participate in the Local Horse Race.
3) The horse is a good shipping help in the farm.

You need to take good care of your horse for 1 year with a minimum of
eight hearts. You can build up the horse's hearts by talking and
brushing (with the brush bought from Saibara for 800G). Having it being
placed outside, helps to increase the hearts faster. After the year, you
can get the horse if it has 8 eight hearts or more. If it doesn't, you
need to plant another 30 patches of grass, so that Barley will give you
a second pony. While the horse is at its pony stage, it is very hard to
handle it. Bare with it for the 4 hearts. Upon the 5th heart, you can
make use of whistle [hit R2] to call for your pony.

With the horse, it helps you to move around your farm a lot more
quicker. You can ride on it around the farm faster than you are running.
You can deposit unwanted items such branches, stones, weeds, flowers and
even crops into the saddle. If you deposit a produce, it will be
accounted as being deposit in the bin. The horse is a good transport
tool but it is very hard to make the horse stay put at one place...

-[Giving Gifts and Making Friends]-
Gifts are typically any item that you can find the game. You can give
weed, branches, lumber and even ores to villagers, although the basic
reason is that they will not like it. If you give an average item to
Manna of Aja Winery, she will give you some tips on making friends. As
for the invidual's likes list, please refer to the town guide for more
details.

[V.4] The Five Basic Farming Tools
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
At the start of the game, you will find a Hammer, a Watering Can, an
Ax, a Hoe and a Sickle inside the toolbox. If you hit the start button
to activate the status menu, you will find the status of these tools.
The status screen is very important as it means whether you can perform
an upgrade on the tool.

The status screen should something similar to the one that is found
below:

=-~ Figure V.1.2a: Status Screen of Tools ~-=
(Legend)
(Icon of Tool) ||||||||||||||||||||||| [C] (Copper Ore)
[C][S][G][M] [%] [S] (Silver Ore)
[G] (Gold Ore)
[M] (Mystrile Ore)

The "|||" sign represents the experience bar. You will find the bars'
color changes as you upgrade your tool. To see whether the tool is
applicable for an upgrade, check out the type of 'ores' available.

The percentage of the meter is another way of reading the meter. Below
are some interesting statistics for you to know:

001% to 099% (Default Tool) [N/A]
100% to 199% (Copper version of tool) [1000G]
200% to 299% (Silver version of tool) [2000G]
300% to 399% (Gold version of tool) [3000G]
400% (Mystrile version of tool) [5000G]

It is not necessary to upgrade from a copper model to a silver model,
along the metallic range. Instead, a model's meter ratings and the
number of available 'ore' icons that the tool has gained are the
criteria for the upgrade. For example, it is possible to upgrade a
default Hoe to Mystrile Hoe directly provided you have gained 400% on
the meter. The fees will not be accumulated by the way.

How to upgrade?
You need to go to a mine to obtain a certain ore that is required for
the upgrade. There are two mines in the game. You can get more details
regarding the location of the mines in the next section or the
walkthrough. Next you need to bring that ore; equipped the tool on hand
(that's the separated box of rucksack screen) and proceed to the
Blacksmith to perform an upgrade. Of course, you must have sufficient
cash on hand. I have placed an asterisk mark next the minimum
requirements for you to survive in the game. The more asterisks that
the model has, the more important that you need to get them. To build
up the meter, you need to use the items frequently.

Below is the 'Effects Chart' of each tool:
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Tool Model Effect Cost
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Hammer -------- [You can only break small stones] [N/A]
(Copper) [3 hits - large stone; not rocks] [1000G]
(Silver) [2 hits - large stone; 5 hits - rocks] [2000G]
(Gold) [1 hit - large stone; 3 hits - rocks] [3000G]
** (Mystrile) [1 hit - large stone; 2 hits - rocks] [5000G]

Watering Can ------- [Water 1 tilled soil] [N/A]
(Copper) [Water 1 x 3 tilled soil] [1000G]
(Silver) [Water 2 x 3 tilled soil] [2000G]
* (Gold) [Water 3 x 3 tilled soil] [3000G]
(Mystrile) [Water 3 x 5 tilled soil] [5000G]

Hoe ------ [Tills 1 tilled soil] [N/A]
(Copper) [Tills 2 x 1 tilled soil] [1000G]
(Silver) [Tills 3 x 1 tilled soil] [2000G]
* (Gold) [Tills 4 x 1 tilled soil] [3000G]
(Mystrile) [Tills 6 x 1 tilled soil] [5000G]

Sickle ------ [Cuts 1 tilled soil] [N/A]
(Copper) [Cuts 1 x 3 tilled soil] [1000G]
(Silver) [Cuts 2 x 3 tilled soil] [2000G]
* (Gold) [Cuts 3 x 3 tilled soil] [3000G]
(Mystrile) [Cuts 3 x 5 tilled soil] [5000G]

Ax ------ [Chop only branches/logs] [N/A]
(Copper) [Chop logs; 6 hits to a tree stump] [1000G]
(Silver) [Chop logs; 3 hits to a tree stump] [2000G]
(Gold) [Chop logs; 2 hits to a tree stump] [3000G]
** (Mystrile) [Chop logs; 1 hits to a tree stump] [5000G]

To perform the effect, you need to hold down the Square button while
the tool is being equipped. The longer you hold, the more powerful the
effect will be. BTW, tools with higher upgrades can do those in the
lower levels.

(Facial expressions on using tools)
How do you know when you are executing the effect? As mentioned earlier
to execute an effect, you need to hold down the Square button. The
longer you hold, the higher level of effect you will execute. BTW, a
higher level tool can perform effects of it with a lower level tool.
For example with a Silver Ax, you can perform the normal cut, copper
level cut and the silver level cut. With the Mystrile Ax, you can
perform the normal cut, copper level cut, silver level cut, gold level
cut and the Mystrile level cut!

Copper Level - Held onto the tool for a while
Silver Level - held onto the tool for a longer period
Gold Level - the face turns red
Mystrile level - the face turns red and stressing mark on the head...

For example, it will take many hits to break a large stone with a
Bronze Hammer. However if you use the 'special' hit [hold down Square
button], you can eliminate the large stone in 3 hits. It does not only
save time but also Hero's stamina.

HAMMER
IMO, the hammer is the least important but not a useless tool. You can
make use of it to remove stones and rocks from the farm, which
indirectly helps to facilitate movement in the farm. You can also use
it to destroyed broken 'lumber-type fences'. Lumber will be greatly
weakened when it is being exposed to rain for a long time. To remove
them, you need to use the hammer. The hammer also allows removing of
tilled soils. BTW, do not use this on cows, horse and sheep.

WATERING CAN
This is the most important tool after the hoe. Without the Watering
Can, you can't water your plants and harvest fruits/produce from it.
The Watering Can has a capacity of 100 shots. You need to go near a
river/water source and hit Square to refill the Watering Can. IMO, you
need only a Gold Watering Can. Upgrading the Watering Can during winter
is pretty a good choice as you do not need to water any plants until
you have gotten a hothouse. When you are quite close to your house,
make use of the pond to refill your watering can.

HOE
This is the most important tool for it allows you to till the soil for
planting but it can be used in the mines. The special feature can't be
used in the mine unfortunately. BTW, I will recommend that you should
avoid upgrading your Hoe during a Winter season as you need it for
mining. Just hit the Square button to till a patch of soil.

SICKLE
This is used to remove weeds or garbage from your farm. The Sickle is
also used to get fodder from grass. You will see that grass fields get
a bit darker and you can swipe off the grass for fodder. Fodder is
essential for cows and sheep. The Sickle removes plants too! Hence,
avoid using it while you are between weeds and fields.

AX
The Ax is extremely important as it allows you to get lumber from tree
stumps. You need to have lumber in order to upgrade your building. You
need to make use of the "special action" by holding down the Square
button. If you do not, you will take ages to hack down a tree...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[V.5] Special Tools from the Blacksmith
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
These additional tools can only be bought from the Blacksmith's house
for a pretty huge sum of money... You can get the following tools from
the blacksmith if you have met the following requirements. Below you
can also find a short breakdown of each every tool.

BRUSH 800G
[Requirements]- You must get the horse (pony) from Barley.
The brush allows you to brush any livestock that includes cow, sheep
& the horse. Brushing them regularly makes the livestock happy as they
loves it. Making your livestock happy is important, as it prevents them
from falling ill easily. It also improves the quality of products that
you can get from the animals.

MILKER 2000G
[Requirements]- You must get the horse (pony) from Barley
You need to use this tool to milk cows and get milk from them. Just
simply move your character near the cow and hit Square button to milk
the cow. If you do it successfully, you will get a bottle of Milk. BTW,
you cannot get milk from a young cow but only from an adult cow.

CLIPPERS 1800G
[Requirements]- You must get the horse (pony) from Barley)
The clippers are actually a pair of scissors. You need to use this get
wool from your sheep. Just move your character against the sheep and
hit Square button. If it is done successfully, you will find a ball of
wool appearing on top of the character's hands. BTW, wool takes a long
time to re-grow compared to cows. You need to feed the sheep with
fodder.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[V.6] The 00 Makers
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In Harvest Moon: Back To Nature, you will get these makers from Saibara
the Blacksmith after you have upgrade your henhouse and barn. These
machines may cost a lot but they are considered a worthy investment. To
get the Adamantite Ore, you need to get it from the Winter mine during
winter (that mine is located in the middle of the frozen lake). Talk to
Saibara without holding the ore, otherwise you will be given it to him!
If you don't have sufficient cash during winter, store at least 5 of
them inside your cupboard that comes with the kitchen upgrade.

MAYONNAISE MAKER 20000G + Adamantine Ore
[Requirements]- You need to get the kitchen upgrade for your house
before you can 'create' this from the blacksmith. Just talk to the
blacksmith and you will be given the option to make it. It takes five
days to be manufactured

It allows you to make mayonnaise. The mayonnaise maker is found inside
the hen house.
