Harvest Moon Game Boy Color FAQ/WALKTHROUGH
By: JunoGem (Aaron Knepper)




Version History-


New Version:  

Version 2.0 (7/19/00)

The big 2.0! It would have been up sooner, but a problem occurred on the 15th 
that I rather not talk about. Because of it I was behind 122 E-mails and am now 
down to 83 left. I'll try to have them all out by tomorrow. Another thing, on 
the Version 1.6 update I talked about the Lemonade and Pokemon  cereal, my 
mother did not know I was eating cereal. Come one people, she's not that stupid 
(just kidding mom, please don't kill me). An one big announcement, I'm done with 
my Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From The Ashes FAQ/WALKTHROUGH and it will be up 
on Friday. You may be thinking "I didn't see that in his 'Other FAQs made by me' 
section". The reason for that is I did it for fun and didn't tell any one. I am 
also on the GameFAQs Message Boards as Juno Gem. A friend got me banned from 
using JunoGem, so I had to add a space to my alias. I will also be getting a new 
E-mail address soon and I will post my new E-mail when I get it. I am now 
posting a code I got from someone and I want someone to test it out. If no one 
answers this the code by the 30th it will be in the 'Rumors' section until 
someone tries this code. 


Skip Stages
Don't feed one of your cows so it won't be happy. Feed it and brush it and talk 
to it every day until it's happy again (four or five days). And it will have 
skipped ahead one, two, or three stages! (sometimes doesn't work when they don't 
produce milk yet)

stage 1: Baby Cow (optional with M Potion)
stage 2: Medium cow
stage 3: Cow Small milk
stage 4: Cow Medium milk
stage 5: Cow Large milk

Past Versions:


Version 1.0 (5/14/00)

Welcome to my Harvest Moon Game Boy Color FAQ. I hope my FAQ is a help to you as 
you play this wonderful game. Since this is the first version the table of 
contents is first, then all of the subjects, then the disclaimer. Thank you for 
checking out my FAQ, and if you need to, feel free to E-mail me. I will make a 
Question and Answer section when you guys and gals E-mail me with some 
questions. I will also have a small part of a walkthrough on the next update. 

Version 1.1 (5/15/00)

Boy, I didn't expect to update this fast. I added all the Game Shark codes I 
could find but I didn't start the Walthrough because I didn't have time. I 
promise I'll have on next time or everyone who reads this gets $100 dollars... 
just kidding. I will try to keep my promise though. I also changed some things 
that were wrong. I also added some more in the Hints and Tips section.
And last, please send mail with the subject of HMGBC because mail with subjects 
like HI can sometimes be porn and crap like that. Thanks in advance.

Version 1.2 (5/17/00)

Here it is, the new version. Not even a week and I'm on my third update. I 
started the Walthrough as promised, but its not to long. Yet, I still can't 
emphasize enough to label E-mail with Subjects such as "Harvest Moon GBC" and 
things like that. My parents do check my E-mail on occasions and will delete E-
mail with odd subjects. Also, I'm thinking of making more FAQs but I don't know 
what game I should make one for. If you have any suggestions please tell me, I 
have Nintendo 64, Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, 
and Sega Dreamcast.

Version 1.3 (5/20/00)

Another update. I couldn't sleep so I decided to work on this. Not that Harvest 
Moon is boring, but typing makes me tired. I probably won't make much of an 
update, but it's better than the last update. I added two more sections too, 
check them out.

Version 1.4 (6/2/00)

This isn't really a big update, just some corrections. Thank you to everyone who 
has complemented me and my hard work. Also, if any of you guys/gals use my 
Walktrhough, tell me if it needs any changes. Thanks to everyone, JunoGem. I 
also took out that damn chart in the Walkthrough, it was too confusing. Last but 
not least, a new section, check it out.

Version 1.5 (6/5/00)

Just a normal update. I added a new section I would like you guys/gals to look 
at. Not much to say here.

Version 1.6 (6/16/00)

Another boring update. Sorry, I'm just in a bad mood. I pour a myself a bowl of 
Pokemon  cereal and there's no milk. I say, "Mom, I want some milk." She 
replies, "Have some lemonade." Lemonade!?!? I'm not going to put lemonade in 
cereal, it's just wrong on so many levels... Well, I only updated some stuff.

Version 1.7 (6/21/00)

This isn't really an update, I just want to make some stuff clear (there is a 
small update). For any of you who have ever E-mailed me you know that I answer 
your question within 24 hours, it will always be that way. This weekend though 
(Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) I will be out of state for my 13th 
birthday ( I was born 6/26/87) and I may not be able to E-mail you people back 
for a week. Don't think I'm just ignoring you, I'll just be busy. I will read 
each E-mail and reply to everyone. The other things are, my Legend of the River 
King GBC FAQ/WALKTHROUGH will be on GameFAQs by the end of June. And last, my 
Harvest Moon 64 FAQ will be done by the end of summer. ~JunoGem

Version 1.8 (7/5/00)

Just a normal update. I updated the Walkthrough and I am thinking about writing 
something on Harvest Moon GBC 2. I know some stuff, but if you people could give 
me some good Harvest Moon web-sites, I'd appreciate it. ~JunoGem

Version 1.9 (7/13/00)

Just a normal update. I feel great, and that's odd. Thanks to Ryan (if your 
reading this) for pointing out a few mistakes. It's amazing, at Version 1.9 no 
one ever pointed those mistakes to me. I also had to change some sections 
because when the were put on GameFAQs they appear different, i.e. the line after 
each section is throughout the whole page but it appears to be only half way on 
GameFAQs. The only time I see it correctly is using my Sega Dreamcast internet. 
For you PSX lovers, the PSX version come out near the end of August. Finally, a 
new boy is writing a new Harvest Moon GBC FAQ and Brian will not ever be 
updating his again because he is going into high school and doesn't have time. 
So for now, I'm the only writer. I am also very glad to find out that the 
Harvest Moon GBC FAQs and FAQ/WALKTHROUGHs are number 10 on the Top Ten list for 
Game Boy Color, but lets get it higher.    ~JunoGem

3. Story-

This is how the whole thing starts out. Your grandfather has just died and you 
are ever so sad. Then one morning before you wake up you have a dream. In it 
your grandfather tells you that the ranch has been ignored and looks really bad. 
He makes it your duty to fix things up and hopefully live a good life. He tells 
you that he will be back at the end of the year and he will grade your work. If 
you worked hard enough he will reward you. If not he will urge you to work 
harder and give you something different.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



4. Main Goal- 


To become a Ranch Master you have to do the following things. Make sure that 
everything is done or no gift from your grandfather.

1. Eaten at least six Power Berries (Stamina boosters).
2. Own four  adult cows.
3. Own four  chickens.
4. Have an Ultra-Deluxe House.
5. Save up at least 66,000 Gold.
6. Have your happiness rate at 250 or higher.
7. Hoed and have things growing on at least 1,600 squares of your ranch (grass 
works best).
8. Shipped at least 4,500 units (food items).

Your grandfather will come on the 30th of Winter every year to give you your 
year-end evaluation. It lasts all day but your animals get fed so don't worry. 
If you worked hard enough you will receive the fishing rod, pickax, and umbrella 
in that order. If you didn't work hard enough he will expand your ranch.

NOTE: You can't become Ranch Master until your second year because you can't eat 
six Power Berries available.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



5. Characters-


Here's a list off all the characters in the game.

1. You: This character can be a male (Jack) or a female (no default name). 
Essentially, this character is you. You can name you self using up to four 
letters or symbols.

2. Nina: Nina is the botanist of town and will sell you crop seeds and grass 
seeds. She also gives you the watering can after your first purchase. She works 
at the Flower Shop. 

3. Eve: She works at the Juice Bar. She will sell you stamina recovering drinks, 
some you can take home, the others you drink there.

4. Ann: She works at the Tool Shop and will sell you any tools you need. She'll 
sell you the Cheese Maker and the Butter Maker in the second year.

5. Maria: She is the local priest at the Church. She will let you pray and tell 
you your fortune. The more you pray the better your fortune.

6. Ellen: She works at the Restaurant and will sell you tasty treats. Some you 
eat on the spot and the others are for meals.

7. Carpenter: Go to the Carpenter Shop to buy wood for fences or extensions. 
Wood sells for 50 pieces for 500 Gold. He'll also expand your house for 5,000 
Gold and 250 pieces of lumber the first time and 10,000 Gold and 500 pieces of 
lumber.

8. Livestock Dealer: He works at the Animal Shop and will sell you animals, 
animal feed, and potions. You can also sell unwanted animals there.

9. 3 Harvest Sprites: These mystical creatures live in the cave behind the shed 
and will work for you if you are nice to them. Give one of the Harvest Sprites 
one mushroom every other day after they work for you to get extra money. Also 
free Sprite #1 from the rock with your hammer and he'll be very grateful.

10. Ranch Spirit. This is your grandfather. He comes on Winter 29th of every 
year to evaluate your work. He'll either give you a gift or expand your ranch.

11. Harvest Goddess: This is the evil leader of the Harvest Sprites. Her and her 
minions will one day kill you... just kidding. She upgrades your Axe and tells 
the Harvest Sprites what to do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Animals-

Pet: This is your dog or cat depending on what you picked at the beginning of 
the game. Name it up to a four letter name. If you have a friend you can trade 
pets via the Game Link Cable.

Foal: This is your trusty horse you get later in the game. After you buy the 
saddlebags it becomes a huge help around the farm.

Cows: These you can buy for five thousand (5,000) Gold or breed. They have three 
stages: baby, calve, adult. When they are an adult you can milk them and sell 
them for various prices (prices listed in Shippable Items section).

Chickens: These you can buy for five hundred (500) Gold or hatch. They are in 
two stages: chick and chicken. You don't need to feed chicks. 

Foxes: They run across the screen when you don't move. They are harmless.

Squirrels: They run across the screen when you don't move. They are harmless.

Frogs: You find these guys in the grass when you cut it. All they do is hop 
away. They're harmless.

Birds: When you leave your house in the morning there may be birds outside. 
They're harmless.

Rabbits: If you stay still long enough, one my run across the land. They are 
harmless.

Moles: These are the cutest little things you've ever seen. They too are harm... 
YEAH RIGHT!!! These things drive me nuts. They eat your crops if you don't pick 
them, and on walks with your cows they scare the CRAP out of them. There's no 
way to get rid of them. Not even your sickle can solve this problem.

11. Items-

Axe: It takes six hits to break up a stump when using it. If you move the D-pad 
you will have to start over. You start with this.

Golden Axe: After the earthquake go to the upper room with your Axe in hand and 
go to the edge of the area. Press "A" and you'll throw the Axe in. The Harvest 
Goddess will come out and ask you if it's yours, say NO. She will give it to you 
for being honest. It takes one hit to break up a stump.

Hammer: You use this to break the boulders on your ranch. If you move your 
character you must hit the boulder six more times. It takes six hits to break a 
boulder. You start out with this.

Golden Hammer: During your second expansion the carpenter will come to your 
ranch and ask if he can use your hammer (to use on your house). If you say YES 
he'll improve it before he returns it back to you, if you say NO, you're in 
trouble. It can break up a boulder with one hit.

Sickle: You use this to cut grass to feed your animals with. Don't use it on 
weeds because it is a waste of time and energy, and it doesn't turn into feed 
(would you even want it to?). You start out with this tool.

Golden Sickle: After you give the Harvest Sprites a total of 30 mushrooms 
Harvest Sprite #1 (the one in the main cave) will ask you how the sickle works. 
If you say it works well he will take it and improve it. If you say  it's not 
he'll tell you that you're using it wrong and you'll never get it. He'll give it 
to you in twelve real hours. The Golden Sickle cuts a 3x3 square around you.

Hoe: You use this to till your fields. You need to till the soil before you can 
grow grass and plants on the ground. It tills one square of soil in front of you 
when you use it. You start out with this.

Golden Hoe: After the Golden Sickle is yours talk to Harvest Sprite #1 and he'll 
ask you the same thing about the Hoe that he did the Sickle. Say that the hoe 
works well and in 24 real hours you'll have the Golden Hoe which tills six 
squares in front of you. Say it doesn't work well and you can kiss the tool 
good-bye.

Watering Can: You use this tool to water your crops. It waters one square in 
front of you. You receive this after you purchase your first bag of seeds unless 
you're a female (see why later down my FAQ).

Sprinkler: This is an upgraded Watering Can that waters a 3x3 square around your 
body. You can buy this on Spring 18th for 2,000 Gold.

Cow Feed: If you run out of grass you can use  this to feed your cows. It cost 
700 Gold for twelve meals.

Chicken Feed: Its the same as Cow Feed but it's for Chickens. I don't know why, 
but its cheaper than Cow Feed. It costs 500 Gold.

Cow Brush: Buy this from the Tool Shop before you get a cow. Brush your cow with 
it every day to keep it happy. It costs 800 Gold.

Cow Bell: You use this to call your cows, then the cows will follow you. It's 
easier to use this than to move your cows yourself. You get this for free when 
you purchase your first cow.

Miracle Potion: You use this to impregnate your cows. Raised cows grow faster 
than bought ones. They also produce better milk faster. It costs 4,000 Gold.

Cow Medicine: Use this to cure sick Cows. It costs 1,000 Gold.

Saddlebags: You use these to ship crops thru your foal. They cost 2,500 Gold. 

Vaccine: This was a big secret that I figured out. The "Cow First Aid Kit" is 
the Cow Medicine during the second year only. It keeps your cows from becoming 
unhappy for one whole season. It cost 2,000 Gold.

Fishing Pole: This is the first gift from your grandfather which allows you to 
fish in the northern cave.

Pickax: Use this in the left cave to break the pillars to find some Power 
Berries. This is the second gift from your grandfather.

Umbrella: This is the third and best gift from your grandfather. It makes it 
rain for one day and waters all of your crops. Did you really think you would 
get this valuable tool first???

Butter Maker: You can buy this during your third year for 30,000 Gold. It will 
turn cows' milk into butter which sells for more money than milk.

Cheese Maker: You can buy this during your third year for 30,000 Gold. It will 
turn cows' milk into cheese which sells for more money than milk.

13. Hints and Tips-             

This section is for little tidbits of information that you may or may not know. 
Feel free to E-mail me with any you can think of.

* Grass doesn't need to be watered.
* Plant crops near watering hole.
* Plant crops near shipping bin.
* You don't need to water plants when its raining.
* If you can't buy livestock grow and cut more grass.
* Chicks don't need food, they eat scraps off the ground.
* Picking up weeds or rocks doesn't use up any energy.
* Plant grass away from your shipping bin.
* Don't plant any crops after the 25th of each season because they won't mature. 
* You don't need to water seeds the day you plant them.
* Look on your desk by your bed before expanding your house to find 1,000 Gold, 
also known as "Grandpa's Rainy Day Money".
* When you talk to the Harvest Sprites make sure you don't have any tools in 
your hand.
* Holidays boost your happiness rate.
* Breeding cows boosts your happiness rate.
* Don't try to kill Harvest Sprites or they will eat you. Just kidding, they 
won't work for you.
* Your grandfather comes on the 30th of Winter and the evaluation takes a day,    
but the Harvest Sprites will feed your animals.
* Don't use tools on livestock.
* You only need to give a mushroom to a Harvest Sprite every other day.
* When waiting for the Harvest Sprites to upgrade any of your tools, I             
recommend you don't play the game during that time period.
* Pray at least ten times a day every day from day one to bless a cow.
* Catch at least twenty fish a day and you'll have at least 2,400 units shipped, 
that's more than half of what you need to ship in a year.
* If you run out of food you will only drink water during meal times, which 
gives you very little energy.
* Milk and Meat dumplings give you the least recovery during meal times.
* Green Tea and Rice cakes give you the second most recovery during meal times.
* Wild Grape Juice and Croissants give you the most recovery during meal times.
* Go to all special events/festivals/parties.
* Some special events take all day, don't forget to feed you livestock                           
afterwards or before.
* You can still pick up rocks and weeds when you don't have any energy.
* Taking cows on walks doesn't take an hour like in HMGB.
* To do the Blessed Cow Code you have to pray everyday starting on the first 
day. 
* While in a store press Select to see your current amount of Gold. 
* If you have a pet dog keep him outside during good weather and night so wild                        
dogs don't break your fence.
* Weeds to not grow back like in other Harvest Moon games, so pluck 'em all.
* I will one day rule the world, bwah-hahaha.
* You didn't read that one.
* In fact, this FAQ/Walktrough doesn't exist.
* Neither do I.
* I could just delete the last few lines before I send this in.
* I'm too lazy.
* Back to real hints and tips.
* Your sickle never solves problems, although you think it does.
* The Harvest Sprites will put an egg in the incubator unless there is one in   
it already, even if you have four Chickens.
* Maria's hair is not a wig.
* You can't keep your animals outside.
* Animals don't like being mistreated.
* The Harvest Sprites wont work for you until after the Earthquake.
* Snow waters your plants. 
* Your foal grows up on the 20th of Summer.
* You don't need fences.
* You can't name your chickens.
* If you have four Chickens and there is an egg in the incubator it will hatch 
the day after you sell a Chicken or one dies.
* Eggs hatch in three days.
* Cows give birth after 22 days.
* The Harvest Sprites are not against you, if you believe that you're either 
Max, insane, or drinking too much Mountain Dew. NOTE: I love Mountain Dew and 
you better not make fun of me for it.
* If you keep your dog outside it keeps moles from appearing when you dig.




NOTE: The reason *s are in front of each tip is because whenever I use bullet 
marks they come out as question marks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14. Differences between genders-


If you're a male...

* Hurricanes can damage your fence.
* It takes longer to get the sprinkler.
* It takes longer to get the saddlebags.


If you're a female...

* Hurricanes don't affect your fence.
* You start with the watering can and one bag of turnips, potatoes, and grass. 
This only works if you start your name with a HEART symbol.   
* You get the sprinkler earlier.
* You get the saddlebags earlier.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



15. Difference between pets-


If you have a dog...

* Wild dogs can destroy your fence.
* Wild dogs can kill your chickens.
* If you keep it outside it will scare of moles.


If you have a cat...

* No wild dogs. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



16. Rumors-

The baby cow in two days trick doesn't work, don't waste your money... unless 
you don't believe me.

Having a cat does not prevent hurricanes.

Having a cat does not get you free seeds.

Pressing "A", "B", Start, and Select at the same time does not give you 
anything. If you have your Timer Function on it can advance the date on your 
game. 

You can't trade your pet for a bag of seeds. Plus, what kind of person would do 
that (I have to admit, I tried it)?

The sell an egg for the price of a chicken trick is totally fake. Don't waste 
your time.

Grow an Egg: Wait until your chicken lays an egg above the shipping bin and 
water the egg. It will turn into a piece of fence. Pick it up and sell it. There 
are about 99 pieces of fence. If you do this code you can't expand your house.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



17. Glitches-

Here are some glitches that are really annoying:


Text Glitch: Sometimes when you are talking to someone the text may mix 
together, it doesn't harm anything, but it's annoying.

Harvest Thieves: This happened to Cluny420. Sometimes the Harvest Sprites won't 
give you back your tools.

Too Sloooooooooooow Glitch: When you are with your livestock your character may 
move slowly.

Move along little froggy: When you cut your grass, a frog may appear. If one 
does, your character may move slowly. You'll move at normal speed once the frog 
is gone.

Stolen Sprinkler: Sometimes when you give the Harvest Sprites your tools they 
will steal your Sprinkler and have to buy a new one. It doesn't really harm 
anything unless your low on money.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18. In Game Codes-


Here are some codes that work without using cheats:


Soggy Mushrooms: Go up to a mushroom with the empty watering can and press "A" 
and it will fill up with water.

Golden Hen: I figured this one out too, this was harder than the other code 
though. Trade a chicken with a friend, use the same number though (i.e. Hen #1). 
Then, if your lucky you will both have a Golden Hen which gives you a Golden Egg 
daily. There is a 1 in 64 chance this will happen though.

Free Money: Look on your desk by your bed before expanding your house to get 
1,000 Gold.

Blessed Cow: Every day pray at the Church at least ten times. After you have 
your first cow the Harvest Goddess will bless one cow. It will always be happy 
and produce large milk.

Lucky to be a Girl: Be a girl for some free seeds (see 'Difference between 
genders' section).

Instant Eggs. Use the original sickle only. Throw an egg on the wall above the 
shipping bin and use the sickle once, sell the egg, repeat. Use this code over 
and over.

Cows Grow Faster: Start the name of your cows with a symbol and they will grow 
faster and produce better milk sooner.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Color and my Nintendo 64. I got all of these codes from the Game Software Code

20. FAQ-

Here are some questions I've been getting in the mail already. Some may seem 
stupid but I will not tell who wrote these letters. Don't forget, not all of us 
are masters at the game. 


Q: Why can't I go to some festivals when I wake up?
A: This one is easy, sometimes the festivals don't occur until 6:00 P.M. Also, 
if the weather is bad that day or the day before it may not happen. Last, if you 
have the Timer Function on and the Harvest Sprites work for you and it goes into 
the day before or the day of the festival, your S.O.L. (S**t outta luck).

Q: How come I never see some of the animals?
A: Some animals only appear when you don't move for a while. Also, they are too 
quick to see with the naked eye. I know the animals are real because I asked 
Natsume and they told me.

Q: Those damn Harvest Sprites stole my tools, and I want them back!!!
A: First, calm down. Second, wait a while and see if they give them back. Don't 
forget you have to wait real hours. Third, I know this can be a little 
depressing but you may need to restart your game. Fourth, if this doesn't work, 
hit your game with a hammer. Repeat, if necessary. I have now heard that if you 
turn the Timer on FAST they will give them back.

Q: Where can I buy the Harvest Moon games?
A: Mostly anywhere video-games are sold. Harvest Moon for SNES may be hard to 
find and there is no hope of getting a new one. The games have become so popular 
that even K-Mart have them. If you can't find them call Natsume at (650)-692-
1941 or Nintendo at (800)-255-3700.

Q: I like Harvest Moon 64 and I think this FAQ is pretty good, when is you HM64 
FAQ coming out?
A: I am still working on it and it is already pretty long. Plus, HM64 has a lot 
of FAQs already and only the best can be put up there. If you do have any 
questions about the game, just E-mail me.

Q: How do you take your cows for walks?
A: To take a cow on a walk use the bell or push your cows to the barn door. Then 
push them out. When you leave the barn you will be with your cow. You can only 
take one cow on a walk at a time.

Q: Why can't I hold the two tools I want to hold at the same time.
A: When you pick up a tool you will notice that one tool goes back. If your 
hands don't have any tools you will just pick that tool up. If you have tools 
with you but not in your hands you put back the tool in hand two. If you have a 
tool in hand one or two you will put that tool back.

Q: I had the Harvest Sprites upgrade my tools and they took my Sprinkler and I 
had to buy a new one, why is this?
A: This is a glitch in the game which happened to me. You only have to buy a new 
Sprinkler.

Q: What give you the time and ability to do a FAQ/WALKTHROUGH?
A: Caffeine, and lots of it. Also, I was sick so I decided to do something other 
than sleep.

Q: How do you put your grass into the Silo?
A: It goes there after you cut it. Don't forget, weeds don't turn into Fodder.

Q: How does the cow happiness rate affect your year-end evaluation?
A: It doesn't, it just tells you how nice you are to ol' Bessy.

Q: How do you get your cows to have a higher happiness rate?
A: Take them for walks, feed them daily, brush them daily, and milk them daily 
(even if they wont give you milk).

Q: I just planted my seeds and the Harvest Sprites won't water them. Why???
A: You may have left the Timer on or you may not be treating them good enough. 
Remember, the more you plant, the more the work, the better you have to treat 
the Harvest Sprites.

Q: Why won't the Harvest Sprites work for me? 
A: There are a few answers for this one. First of all, you may not be treating 
them well enough. They will say "Thank you!!! We will also try to help you" when 
they will start working for you. Number two, you may have left the Timer on. The 
Harvest Sprites can only work for you once every 24 hours. You may have hit them 
with too many tools. Last but not least, you may have given them way to much 
work to do.

Q: I just got the fishing pole, where do I fish?
A: Go to the northern cave and go to the sign that says "Don't throw anything 
into the Spring. From Harvest Goddess". Now stand on the bench and get the tool 
out and press "A".

Q: How do I fish?
A: Press "A" and you will throw the line into the pond. When the line vibrates, 
press "A" again to reel it in. You may catch a can, shoe, or a fish.

Q: I just got the pickax, now what do I do with it?
A: Go to the left cave an use it to find some Power Berries.

Q: What order do I get the presents from Grandpa in?
A: More land, Fishing Pole, Pickax, Umbrella, Ranch Master. You will always get 
Ranch Master after you have all of the special tools.

Q: In the First Year Eve losses her bird, where do I find it?
A: It's on the sign in front of the Silo. If it's not there go into the chicken 
coop then come back out. Go up to the bird and press "A". 

Q: The Harvest Sprites never hand me back my tools, why?
A: They don't give you the tools, they put them in the shed.

Q: Is there any sure way to get the tools back from the Harvest Sprites?
A: I have heard that if you turn the Timer Function on FAST for 24 hours you'll 
get the tool back, but I'm not sure. 

Q: What does the Umbrella do?
A: It makes it rain/snow so your plants get watered faster.

Q: How long does it for one egg to hatch? 
A: Three days.

Q: How long does it take for a cow to give birth?
A: 22 days.

That's all for now, please E-mail me with some more.

21. Walkthrough-                        UPDATED

I promised a walkthrough and here it is. I'm almost done with Spring, but it 
will take a while. I deleted the key, to many complaints. I just labeled the 
days. My Walkthrough does not include rainy days or Hurricanes because I don't 
know when they will happen.


Year 1:


Spring:

Sunday 1st: Today is your first day one the ranch. You will name yourself and 
your dog. Your grandfather tells you what he wants you to do and when he will 
come back. After you go through the little section with your grandfather you 
will be in your house. Look for the 1,000 Gold next to your bed in the drawers. 
The reason it's called "Grandpa's Rainy Day Money" is because on rainy days your 
grandpa was a young gambler. He went to Las Vegas and always won the penny 
slots. Although, on one terrible day, he met Mr. Alcohol and got married to an 
ugly waitress from McDonalds. Just kidding. Now start working on your field by 
cutting stumps, breaking rocks and boulders, and de-weeding your field. This 
will take about four to five days to finish. Before that, go to Harvest Sprites 
and give them the mushrooms. Don't forget to pray at least ten times everyday 
for the Blessed Cow Code.

Monday 2nd: You are still working on your field. Just work as long as you can. 
Before that, go to Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Tuesday 3rd: Still working on your field. Before that, go to Harv1est Sprites 
and give them the mushrooms. You should get the Power Berry today from the 
Harvest Sprites.

Wednesday 4th: If your done with all that work, you should till all of your 
ranch so you can't see the dirty ground. Before that, go to Harvest Sprites and 
give them the mushrooms.

Thursday 5th: You should be done by now, but if your not finish today. After 
your done, go to the town and buy two bags of potatoes. Then plant them at home. 
You don't need to water seeds the day you plant them. Before that, go to Harvest 
Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Friday 6th: Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. Now go and 
water you plants. There's not to much to do right now though. So go to the 
Church and pray. Also, now is the time to do something that may help you. What 
you do is grab you fence and put it in you material shed to gain material. One 
fence piece is worth two material.

Saturday 7th: Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. Then water 
your crops. Do whatever you want to do.

Sunday 8th: Go see the Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms. Then water 
your crops. Do whatever you want to do.

Monday 9th: Same as the past few days. Don't forget to watch the weather channel 
for rainy days.

Tuesday 10th: Today, you get a foal (that's horse if you didn't know). You can't 
ride him yet, but you will be able to near the end of Spring. Go see the Harvest 
Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Wednesday 11th: It's your first harvest!!! Ship all your crops and go see the 
Harvest Sprites and give them the mushrooms.

Thursday 12th: Go and do the Harvest Sprite ritual (feeding them) and water the 
crops that didn't harvest.

Friday 13th: See those little Harvest Sprites and feed them. Then pick the rest 
of the crops that finally grew. Then go to the Flower Shop and buy two bags of 
potato seeds. For now on you will most likely want to plant at least four crops 
at a time. Plant the seeds.

Saturday 14th: Water your plants and then go to the Harvest Sprites. Go to town 
an see what is happening. Check your fortune for laughs.

Sunday 15th: Go water your plants again. Then go to the Harvest Sprites and give 
them two mushrooms for the last time. Then do whatever you want to do.

Monday 16th: Water you plants and hurry. Now, run to Harvest Spite #1 and talk 
to him. He'll ask you how your sickle is working. Tell him it's working great 
and he'll upgrade it for you in 12 real hours. Then give him a mushroom and sell 
the other.

Don't play your game for one day.

Tuesday 17th: Water your plants and talk to Harvest Sprite #1 and he'll ask 
about the hoe. Tell him it's working fine and he'll upgrade it is 24 real hours. 
Give him one mushroom and sell the other. Do whatever you need to do. 

Don't play your game for two days

Wednesday 18th. Go to the Harvest Sprites and sell both mushrooms. For now on, 
you only need to feed the Harvest Sprites once every other day. Now run to the 
Tool Shop and buy the Sprinkler. Now you can water your plants.

Thursday 19th. Water your seeds and then go to the Harvest Sprites and give them 
one mushroom and sell the other. Go to the Church and pray. I wont tell you to 
pray anymore because it takes up time and some people just don't want to pray 
because they don't care about blessing cows.

Friday 20th. Another harvest!!! Sell your crops which will take up a lot of 
time. Then go to the Harvest Sprites and sell both mushrooms. Then go to the 
Tool Shop and buy the Saddlebags.

Saturday 21st. Water you plants then give one mushroom to the Harvest Sprites 
and sell the other. Then go into town and buy four bags of grass. Then buy some 
food for meal time. Go home and plant your grass, I recommend you plant it in 
the upper-left hand corner of you ranch. I wont tell you when to cut your grass 
because you may not want to cut it at some points of the game. Then go to the 
Juice Bar when it opens and buy drinks for meal times.

Sunday 22nd. Water your crops and sell both mushrooms. Not much to do today.

Monday 23rd. Pick the crops and sell them. Then sell one mushroom and give the 
other away. Then go buy four bags of turnips and plant them.

Tuesday 24th. Water the crops and sell both mushrooms. Then go to town and buy 
any food if you need it.

Wednesday 25th. Water your crops and sell one mushroom. Give the other one to 
the Harvest Sprite in the left cave because he's my favorite.

Thursday 26th. Water the turnips and sell both mushrooms. Since this is  short 
part at the end of each month I will have a part that tells you what to have.

Friday 27th. Water the turnips and sell one mushroom, give the other away. Now 
turn around ten times and try not to vomit. Just trying to waste time for you. 

Saturday 28th. One of the girls will come over and ask you if they can have the 
picnic here. Say "yes" Pick the turnips and sell them. Sell both mushrooms.

Sunday 29th. Go to the picnic. Have some fun. Then sell one mushroom and give 
the other away. Go to bed.

Monday 30th. Pick the turnips. Then sell both mushrooms.

Summer:

Tuesday 1st: It's the first of Summer, you'll notice changes (i.e. music 
changes). Give one mushroom away and sell the other. Then go buy three bags of 
tomato seeds and one bag of corn seeds. Then go plant them.

Wednesday 2nd: Go sell both mushrooms. Now water you crops.

Thursday 3rd: Sell one mushroom and give the other to one of the Harvest 
Sprites. Now water your crops. Go and buy two more bags of grass and plant them.

Friday 4th: Sell both mushrooms and nurture you plants. Not really much to do.

Saturday 5th: Today you can give away both mushrooms because it's the nice thing 
to do. Now water your plants.

1st-5th: On one of these days an earthquake will occur. Add this to the day it 
happens...    Now go to the Harvest Sprite in the main cave and free him from 
under the rock. The Harvest Sprites will now work for you so feel free to use 
the Timer.

Sunday 6th: Water your plants and then go give away one mushroom. No go to the 
Animal Shop and buy a Chicken. Now feed your Chicken.

Monday 7th: Water you plants then feed you animal. Then sell both mushrooms.

Tuesday 8th: Water your plants then give one mushroom away and sell the other. 
Now feed your Chicken and put it's egg in the incubator.


I'm not tired, but I've had too much Mountain Dew and need to run around. Maybe 
if I watch my sisters Pokemon Movies I'll calm down. That's a last resort of 
course, really... (I don't think they believe me)
