Hints and Tips - Part 1

In order to stay on your farm, you need to have a Farm Rate of at least 35%. In order to get that, you need to get high relationships with your wife, horse, and dog (heart wise), having plenty of animals (cows, sheep, and chickens), recipes, etc.
You come prepared with a dog. To get your horse, well actually, you get a pony. One of your goals is to get it to at lest 8+ hearts by the end of the first year, or else that mean old Barley will take him back. Once you have a full grown horse, you can ride him, throw crops at the red thing (instead of going to the bin), and participate in the Horse Race! Be sure to brush him and put him in when it rains, snows, or a blizzard or hurricane comes.
In order to get married, you need to have a high relationship. How you may ask?? Well it just so happens that you don't need to be a relationship freak. Just talk to her often. Respond to questions frequently and give her gifts. The heart pattern in the Dialogue Box will go like this...
BLACK, PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, AND RED.
Be careful, the Orange and the Red are very close so make sure that the BLUE FEATHER to the right girl. The blue feather is used to propose. Buy it at the supermarket for 5000G and then a red heart will be scribbled on your calendar when the date is.

Mining

In order to mine... you'll obviously need a hoe. You get them when your life as a farmer begins. If you plan to upgrade them, you need to get the special metal ore. (I can't think of it's name!! ^_^) and give that to Saibara, the Blacksmith. In three days, you'll get that upgraded. You don't have to though. Just if you want to till more land at one time.
While in the mine... you can get various things.
Gold, Rocks/Junk, Copper, Silver, Gold, Mysterille, Orichulum, and another which I can't remember at the moment. It's also possible to get Power Berries too!!!!!!
In Winter, you can get to a special mine and you can fish in there ^_^.

Fishing

In that special mine, there are large fish and a legendary fish too! About those legendary fish....they are rare. Once you get it, you make a print of it and then it's released. You can't keep those fish. Regular fish you can breed in your little fish pond on you farm. In order to breed you need to buy fish food and throw a handful in daily to breed.
In the beginning you can't buy a fishing pole or you don't start out with one. You get it from Greg, the old guy who fishes and lives on the Beach with Zack. You can even cook the fish too. To get your pole, you need to go to the pier from 7am--9am or 7pm--9pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (aka the weekend). Later when you have 50 fish, he gives you a real rod!

Relationships, Marriage and Family

Hi Harvest Fans out there visiting http://game-net.gourl.com to check out the Harvest Page! In the latest update, I gave you some info. on getting a real relationship over a girl.
Marrige is one way to get your farm level percent increased by 10%. When you've got a RED heart, Buy the Blue Feather. It may be expensive though... For a cost, Tickle Her Fancy and see if she says yes. With my one opprotuniy (so far ^_^) Popuri says something like, "Oh really? Okay. I've always wanted to wear a wedding gown!"
It was that easy! In the next week, I think, you and your wife will be taken to the church where you kiss before God and some of the townsfolk.
Sadly, when you get a wife, she doesn't help you, you HAVE to take care of her, no more CHOCOLATES!!!! Lastly, you can take NO ONE ELSE TO THE SPRING GODDESS FESTIVAL!!!!
Rick and Karen, Cliff and Ann, Doctor and Elli, Kai and Popuri, Mary and Gray just naturally get married. Of course, if you get married, one of those guys remains a lonely Bachelor!! In order to get a Baby....Talk and give your wife gifts daily (WHAT SHE LIKE MOSTLY!!) And in about a month, shell get pregnat. Take her to the clinic later though.
Overall, Marriage is really simple. As long as you take care of the farm and your wife. If you lack with the Farm, call over the Harvest Sprites, if your relationships are good that is!
Next time.. more info on Mining and Fishing. Until you read again..

Relationships With Gals

I hope your enjoying sdcoolskater's new layout!!! Bedside's that, today's hints will be about Relationships with the gals!!

It doesn't matter which gal you choose. Many choose Elli because she's really polite and nice. Some just really think that Karen's REALLY HOT!!! I chose Popuri. In my perspective, she's very caring, in a way, very cute and loveable. Mary is the somewhat, quiet girl. I only had a purple heart. At the Goddess Festival without her glasses, she looks quite adorable.Then there's Ann. I never really liked her. I had a blue heart and then I gave her weeds and fodder because to me, she turned out being a total brat. Anyhow...whether it's Karen, Popuri, Elli, Mary or Ann, it depends on how you treat them. As soon as I saw Popuri, I was like, "WOW!!" Same with Karen, but Popuri wears a corset!! Whenever I got the chance, I gave Popuri accessories and a few to Elli.
One thing that you may also be VERY curious about, are the locked doors. Become friendly and you can go there!! I went to Elli and the Doctor's Wedding, and I was ab;e to go upstairs and even go into the Clinic on the day they are closed (Wednesday)!!

Participate with them and the heart range in the dialouge box will soar!!!!!!!!! The girl whose relationship is higher, you'll see at the top during the Moon-Viewing Festival!

For Summer, onions (7/NR/80), Tomatoes (9/R/60), Corn (14/R/100), Pineapple (20/R/500), Pumpkin's (14/NR/250). In Fall, Eggplant (9/R/80), Carrots (7/NR/120), Sweet Potatoes (5/R/120), Green Peppers (7/R/40), Spinach (5/NR/80) Hopefully you know that in Winter, you can't grow anything, unless, you get a Hot House. *(days/renuable or not/how much gold)

Farm/Home Extensions

I'll explain the Farm/Home Extensions right here! The first extension is the Chicken Coop. You'll need 420 pieces of lumber (recomended that you CHOP it down rather than buy it) and 5000G. After 3 days of work and labor, you'll get room for 5 more chickens. The second one is the first one that Gotz will work on your home. It requires 370 pieces of lumber and then 4700G. You'll get, a kitchen, icebox, and a cabinet. Now you can cook! Well after you buy the equiptment. Third is the barn. You need to have 500 pieces of wood and 6800G for 5 more spaces for cows or sheep. The last home extension costs 10000G and requires 750 lumber for a seperate bedroom, better T.V., different table and a second bed (for your wife). The last thing is a 7X7 field Hot House. With a hothouse a pricy cost of 30000G and 580 lumber pieces, you can plant any crop at any given time, like Pineapples for 500G.
