Introduction
-------------
Hello. I'm Andrew and this is my Harvest Moon 64 FAQ. This is my first FAQ,
so please try to bear with me. I welcome any feedback, such as questions,
comments, or, if I forgot to include any info on the game, please e-mail me.
My e-mail address is listed above. Please don't send me hate mail or porno,
because if you do, I will give your address to nasty people who love to spam.
Already, one unlucky person is on spaming lists across the globe. Anyway, on
to the game!
Have you ever wanted to experience farm life, but the smell of manure makes
you sick? Well, if that's the case, have I got the game for you!
Introducing...(drum role please) Harvest Moon 64. It combines farming
simulation and role-playing to make the perfect game. It will be available in
the middle of December 1999.
The story is you are a young man who just inherited your grandfather's farm.
You have 2 and 1/4 years to turn the run-down hunk of land into a prosperous,
beautiful farm. Along the way you will have to participate in town events,
grow food and raise livestock, deal with disasters, and try to woo a young
lady.
Let the game begin!

Characters
-----------
You(Jack, but you can rename him)-you are the young man whose job is to
create a successful farm. You will have to interact with other characters for
help and advice. Happy farming!
Dog(Koro, but you can rename him)-your loyal canine companion. I do not know
his use as of yet.
Horse(Foal, but you can rename him)-your trusty steed. When he's old enough,
you can ride him in races and have him help you haul crops to shipping bins.
Elli-one of the women you can try to woo. She works at the bakery and loves
it when you eat her baked goods. She also likes likes eggs and milk. IMO I
think this would be the worst one to woo. She will mary Jeff, the bakery
owner if you don't.
Popuri-another woman in the game which you can choose to woo. She works at he
flower shop(hence her name) and loves to see flowers planted at your house.
Her dad is the town botanist, so help him out when you get a chance. She will
marry Gray if you don't.
Maria-yet another woman you might want to woo. She is the goody-two-shoes
daughter of the mayor. She works at the library and likes it when you look at
the books and talk to her. You can also see her at the mayor's house. She
will marry Harris if you don't marry her.
Ann-holy crap! Another woman you can try to woo. She works at the ranch and
loves animals. If you want to win her heart, show her your dog and chickens,
and give her wool. Ann's brother has it in for you at first, so avoid him
until he becomes friendly. Ann will marry Cliff if you don't marry her.
Karen-finally! The last prospective mate in the game. Karen's parents run the
vineyard and she works at the inn. To win her affection, bring presents of
wild berries and make friends with the vineyard workers.IMO the best one you
can try to woo. She will marry Kai if you don't marry her.
Mayor-The mayor of your village will greet you your first day at the ranch
and give you a tour. He's involved with many town events, so you'll see him
often.
Rick-The guy who owns the tool shop. He is Ann's cousin.
Gray-Ann's brother. He isn't real friendly at first, but befriend and you
will ee his softer side.
Artisan-He owns the craft store. Basically, a grumpy, old man.
Lillia-Popuri's mom and co-owner of the flower shop.
Basil-Popuri's dad and co-owner of flower shop.
Kai-The vinyard worker.
Karen's family-Karen's mom and dad run the vinyard.
Jeff-Bakery owner. Not much else `bout him.
Mr.Green-Owns the Green Ranch and kbows all about animals.
Entomologist-This wierd old guy lookin for the emerald butterfly.
Potion Shop owner-Self explanetory. Wins a lot of festivals. Grandfather of
Kent and Stu.
Midwife-She will deliver your baby when the time comes for it to be born.
Mother of the Buyer.
Buyer-He buys the crops you ship. Father of May.
Pastor-Runs the church and school.
Cliff-A wanderer. Befriend him, he's cool.
Harris-The mailman and really boring person.
Duke-The owner of the bar.
Carpenter-Old guy who supervises the workers. See him if you want to build on
to your house.
Photographer-He takes your picture at special occaisions.
Items
------
As tradition, there are many useful items in the game. Some will be used for
work, others for fun.
Hoe-use this to till the land and make fertile so you can plant crops there.
Hammer-use this to break up the rocks littering your farm.
Axe-use this to chop up stumps in your farm. The chopped up would can be used
for building onto your house and making fences.
Sickle-use to cut the grass you grow for fodder.
Seed bags-these contain the seeds you must plant in tilled soil for plants,
flowers, and grass to grow.
Ocarina-you will use this at the Spirit Festival. Make sure to buy one!
Shears- use to cut the wool off your sheep
Brush-use it to brush your cows, sheep and horse.
Bottle-store liquids in this
Rug-a rug that goes under you table.
Room Organizer-you can put non-perishables in here.
Each tool can be upgraded twice. The first time, the tool is three times as
effective, the second time it gets the job done in one hit.
Animals
--------
These are animals you raise for profit. The domestic animals are listed in
the "Characters" section.
Cows-These animals cost the most, but give you the best reurn. It is
DEFINETLY worth your while to buy and raise them. You can milk cows and sell
the milks at the rate listed here. Small Milk=100 gold;Medium Milk=150
gold;Large Milk=300 gold;Special Milk=500 gold. Cows cost 6000 gold each.
Sheep-IMO, this is the best thing to raise. They produce wool, which you can
shear and sell for big bucks! The only downside is they do not produce daily.
Like cows, you should raise sheep, and also like cows, the eat the grass you
grow. You can sell the wool at the rates listed here. Regular Wool=900
gold;Quality Wool=1800 gold.Yowza! Sheep cost 4000 gold each.
Chickens-Uhh, chickens. Not much to say about them. They eat chicken fodder
instead of grass. They only good thing about chickens are that the hens
produce eggs daily and they are low maintenence. They die eaisly. I reccomend
them only to get recipies. Eggs can be sold at the rates listed here. Eggs=50
gold. Chickens cost 1500 gold each.
Love...Farm Style
------------------
One of the greatest aspects of the game is fact that you can get married and
have kids. There are five ladies to choose from(listed in the "Characters"
section) and to get them to marry you. Specifics, such as favorite present,
or the way to their heart is listed in the "Characters" section.
When you talk to an eligible lady in the game, a heart will appear in the
bottom right corner of the text box. The color of the heart shows how
interested the girl is to you.
White=Indifferent;Blue=Friendly;Green=Flirtatious;Yellow=Deep
Affection;Pink=In Love.
To propose to a girl, she fist MUST be in love with you. Then buy a blue
feather at the tool shop when you want to propose, and use it on the girl you
want to marry. The blue feather will not appear right away after your girl
falls in love with you. Then next sunday, the game will automatically take
you to the church and you will get married.
Walkthrough
-----------
Here is the walkthrough for the fist year.
SPRING
Calender
1st-First Day;the mayor and townsfolk will stop by to say hello. The mayor
will even give you a tour.
8th-Planting Festival;located in the Town Square. People will release the
symbolic harvest ballons on your signal.
16th-Deadline for entering Horse Race;self-explanatory.
17th-Spring Horse Race;if you have not entered, you can take bets on the
other horses.
18th~22nd-Vote on Flower Princess;vote for the lady you want to marry.
23rd-Spring Flower Festival;After the princess is chosen, dane with the girl
you want to marry.
Crops(Spring crops are not reoccurring)
Cabbage-Seed Cost:200 gold Unit Price:90 gold Growth:9 days
Potatoes-Seed Cost:200 gold Unit Price:80 gold Growth:6 days
Turnips-Seed Cost:200 gold Unit Pice:60 gold Growth: 4 days
Nature's Crops(search the countryside for these)
Veryberry fruit-Unit Price 40 gold
Medicinal herbs-Unit Price:70 gold
Edible herbs-Unit Price:30 gold
During the 1st Spring, concentrate to build a good cash reserve. Try to get
at least 2000 gold by the end of Spring. Do not buy any animals your 1st
Spring. Plant at least 6-8 bags of crops, but really, really try to get many
more. Also, work on going into the woods to forage. And even though it's just
the 1st Spring, try to bring gifts and such to the girl you wish to marry.
Witha little work, you will do fine.
SUMMER
Calender
1st-Fireworks
9th-Vegatable Festival;take a vegatable to be judged or go without one and
serve as a judge.
17th-Firefly Festival;this involves floating a lantern onto the water at the
beach.
24th-Sea Festival;takes place on the beach, you will be entered in swimming
race much like a horse race.
Crops(Summer crops are reoccurring)
Tomatoes-Seed Cost:300 gold Unit Price:100 gold Growth:9 days
Corn-Seed Cost:300 gold Unit Price:120 gold Growth:13 days
Nature's Crops
Tropical fruit-Unit Price:40 gold
Walnuts-Unit Price:70 gold
In Summer, you must work hard. With your 2000 gold, go and buy 4 bags of
tomatoes and 1 bag of corn, at least. There are few festivals in Summer, so
work, work, work! Forage and cut lumber, and visit your girl reguarly. Try to
buy a sheep this season as well. A sheep, you say? Yes, a sheep. They are
less expensive than cows, and in early stages, their 900 gold a week is
better than a cows 700 gold a week. You can buy a cow in Fall, so be patient.
And get chickens only for the recipies, then sell them. Chickens really not
worth your while, and there is real good chance you won't get out to feed
them due to typhoons, and they will die, wasting a whole day at the funeral.
FALL
Calender
4th-Cow Festival;take your best cow to get judged by milk quality or serve as
a judge.
12th-Harvest Festival;go to sample the townsfolks produce and food, take the
cake Elli gives you because there might be a coin inside.
20th-Egg Festival;race through town to find the egg identical to mayor's egg,
be quick the prize is a Power Berry. The second year prize is a mysterious
turtle statue.
23rd~27th-Bridge Repair;go help the carpenter fix the bridge leading to Moon
Mountain.
27th-Deadline for entering Horse Race;self-explanatory
28th-Fall Horse Race;same as Spring Horse Race.
Crops(Fall crops are reoccurring)
Eggplant-Seed Cost:300 gold Unit Price:80 gold Growth: 7 days
Nature's Crops
Wild grapes-Unit Price;40 gold
Mushroom-Unit Price:70 gold
Poison mushroom-Unit Price:30 gold
In Fall, concentrate on three aspects of the game: Your girl, your animals
and your lumber supply. Try to buy a cow this season, and cut lots of lumber
for house extensions. You need pantloads of lumber to expand, so chop daily.
You should be able to get 42 pieces of lumber a day until the hot springs are
built. Also, visit you girl daily, and give her one gift a day, no more. And
if your girl is Karen, start going to the bar and building your alcohol
tolerance. Brush and feed your animals every day, and soon you'll be raking
in cash. Oh, and for farming, umless you have a Greenhouse, which I doubt you
will by 1st Fall, plant only 2-3 bags of Eggplant.
WINTER
Calender
10th-Thanksgiving;wait at home and greet the guests that come by, and make
sure you're there when the lady you want to marry comes by.
8th~30th-Mine open to Public;if you don't have a greenhouse, make money by
mining stones.
12th~16th-Work on Mountain Spring;go help work on the spring in Moon Mountain.
18th-Deadline for entering Dog Race;self-explanatory
19th-Dog Race;I assume this is like a horse race except you do not ride your
dog.
24th-Starry Night;spend this evening with the lady you want to marry,Maria,
Ann, and Elli will be at church, Karen will be at the beach and Popuri will
be in the woods.
27th-Spirit Festival;if you bought an ocarina, go to the town square and play
music with the locals.
30th-New Year;so you made it through your fisrt year, huh? Good Job!! this is
a good night to ask your girlfriend to marry you. Good Luck!
Crops(must have greenhouse to grow Winter crops)
Stawberries-Seed Cost:500 gold Unit Price:150 gold Growth:6 days
Nature's Crops(you will find these in the mine)
Iron stone-Unit Price:100 gold
Moonlight stone-Unit Price: 500 gold
Blue stone-Unit Price:700 gold
Rare minerals-Unit Price: 1000 gold
In Winter, it is a somewhat busy, somewhat boring month. If you have a
Greenhouse, start planting crops and do the regular. Plant mostly tomatoes
and corn, but also plant strawberries, too. If you don't have a greenhouse,
you main way of making money will be mining, which starts on the 8th of
Winter. Either way, remember to feed and brush(and buy, if possible)animals.
And as always, go out chopping for lumber and visit your girl, who should be
at least at the "green" stage if you payed enough attention to her. Your
social schedual is also full, so make sure you attend events. That's it for
year one, follow the same strategies for year two.
Farming Strategies
-------------------
Here I listed some simple strategies
1)Clear the land of rocks, weeds and stumps.
2)Till soil with hoe to make it fertile.
3)Plant crops in 3x3 grids. Make sure to water crops.
4)Plant close to the shipping bin to save time.
5)You can plant flowers to make your residence look nice. There are two
different varities that cost 200 gold per bag, and a special bag at 300 gold.
6)Buy and grow grass for your animals. Bags cost 500 gold per bag and take 7
days to grow. Grass does not need to be watered, so plant them in patches.
My ASCII art is very bad, so I can't make a town map. I will try to make a
GIF and submit it, but if that fails, I'm sure anyone could find their way
around town. Again, sorry.

Suff I DON'T need help with
----------------------
How do you get into the hole in the Harvest Sprites room?/ Okay, when I said
this, there was some confusion. I meant the hole in the room with two Sprites
in. I found out is a hole that Harvest Sprites use to enter your barn and
feed your animals during a typhoon, if you are nice to the Sprites.
How do you convince the Artisan to give you the pot he won't sell?/ Give him
a blue rock.
What do you do with the weather vane?/ Give it to Rick.
How do you get the bottle of wine?/ Give presents and talk to Duke alot
(Might not work if you are married or if Karen has left).
How do you wake up the vineyard?/ After getting the bottle of wine, throw a
vegetable into the pond west of the Carpenter's and wish to "wake tree".
Some people tell me there is a flower that grows on Moon Mountain that is
very special. If it is real, where is it?/ Again confusion was created here.
I did not mean the special flower that Popuri helps you grow. I meant the
flower that grows on select Fall days in front of the the Resturant. It is
invisible at first, but you will get a berry from it by pressing a near the
trees and bushes.
What is the Jumper, that big black fish for? And how do you catch it?
How do you get your wife to give you birthday gifts?
Please send me the name and description of any special items I have not
listed(i.e. weather vane, treasure map).
