| Why This Guide Exists
|
| Why a guide specifically on animals? Can't most of this information be found
| in your huge Harvest Moon guide? Yes, most of the information here will
| eventually appear in my larger Harvest Moon FAQ, but a large portion of
| people loading an FAQ actually care about the animals - and why force them to
| download what will eventually be a 1-megabyte file just for a small portion
| of that content? That's my reasoning behind all these spin-off specialized
| guides.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| What You'll Find
|
| In here you'll find information about every animal in the game, both
| livestock and wild animals. This includes information about how to obtain
| them, how to take care of them, what products you can receive from them,
| and what you can use them for. It's pretty comprehensive. If you can find
| something that you think belongs in here that isn't here, let me know!
|
| I'm especially proud of the Profit Analysis section of this guide, so even
| if you're here to check something specific, take a look at that section - it
| might be pretty useful.

|/So you want to raise animals, huh? Well just go right on out and buy some!
| ...hardly. In order to raise animals on your farm, there are a few things you
| need to do first.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {ACC} _
| Access Brownie Ranch
|
| Brownie Ranch isn't accessible at the very beginning of the game: there's
| a large boulder blocking the path.
|
| The boulder in question is near the western side of the hills area, by
| Souffle Farm. It's smashable by a hammer, but only if the hammer's level 3.
|
| Check my larger FAQ for extensive information on upgrading tools, but what
| you need to know here is that the hammer can be upgraded to level 3 strictly
| through using it: unlike other Harvest Moon games, upgrading it to be more
| powerful happens automatically. Upgrading it to use less stamina costs money,
| but stamina doesn't matter to this one-time task.
|
| But, using the hammer enough to level it to level 3 takes a ridiculous
| amount of time and stamina: you'll have to try really hard to get it levelled
| up before the end of first spring.
|
| Fortunately, though, the boulder automatically disappears the night before
| the first Animal Festival on Spring 28. Chances are you won't level your
| hammer to level 3 naturally by this time, so the best course of action is
| typically to just wait until the Animal Festival. The only real reason to
| smash the boulder early is if Kathy or Renee are your choice for marriage,
| and you want to get their heart levels up in order to ask them to the first
| Fireworks Display. In this case, you might want to expend your extra stamina
| each day by using your hammer to level it up as quickly as possible.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {BUI} _
| Build a Coop/Barn
|
| Your animals can't just live outside the time; they need a building to live
| in, and unfortunately your farm doesn't come equipped with one.
|
| The Carpenter's Shop is where you'll need to go to arrange for these
| these buildings to be built. They're pricey, but they're worth it once you
| have the money.
|
| The buildings don't just require money to be built, though. You'll also need
| lumber and stones. Collect these simply by chopping stumps and smashing
| stones you find around your farm or around the island - when you destroy one,
| it'll be automatically transported to your lumber or stone storehouse.
|
| When you have sufficient lumber, talk to the folks at the Carpenter's Shop
| and elect to have your barn or coop built. The coop requires 2400G, 10 lumber
| and 10 stones, while the barn requires 3000G, 12 lumber and 12 stones. You'll
| be asked to choose a location, so you'll like want to position it as close as
| possible to the entrance to your house for convenience.
|
| Barns and coops can only be built on your main property, and you can only
| have one of each. The coop can initially hold 8 chickens and 6 silkworms,
| while the barn can initially hold 6 animals of any type.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Upgrade Your Coop/Barn
|
| While you can't buy a new coop or barn, you can upgrade them at the same
| Carpenter's Shop. Upgrading the coop costs 4800G and requires 22 lumber and
| 22 stones, while upgrading the barn costs 6000G and requires 22 lumber and
| 22 stones. The upgrades only slightly increase the capacity of your coop and
| barn: the coop can hold 12 chickens and 8 silkworms, while the barn can hold
| 8 animals of any type (up from 6).
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {FEE} _
| Feed
|
| Animals, like people, have to eat. Granted your character apparently doesn't
| have to eat, but you get the picture. Every field you can start with has a
| pre-planted field of grass that will automatically start growing when you
| purchase your barn or coop. Yes, the grass is psychic.
|
| To feed your animals, you can either let them graze outside in the grass or
| feed them in their barn or coop. If you let them graze outside, each animal
| will consume one plot of grass per day. This applies to all animals of every
| stage of growth.
|
| Once an animal has been fed, a blue border will appear around its name for
| the remainder of the day. Use this to keep track of who's been fed and who
| hasn't.
|
| It's important to note that there are days when you'll let your animals out
| for several hours and then put them back in, only to discover that some
| did not eat for the day. I'm not sure why this happens, but if it does, just
| feed those animals by hand when you get back into the coop or barn, or if it
| is before 8:00PM, let them in and out again - they should eat that time.
|
| It can also be beneficial to leave some food in some of the stalls or in the
| troughs for backup. Beware, though, that if you have an egg in the incubator,
| you will lose one piece of feed each day among those that are just sitting on
| the floor.
|
| On rainy days, the animals must be kept inside; otherwise they'll get sick.
| So on these days, you must have feed and fodder ready - so no matter what,
| you'll need to pick up some fodder.
|
| Feed can be obtained only from Brownie Ranch, but fodder can be obtained in
| two ways: either you can purchase some from Brownie Ranch, or you can cut
| your own grass with a sickle. The latter method is, obviously, free, and has
| no drawbacks (besides stamina use) if you plan to keep your animals inside
| all the time. However, if you plan to balance their time inside and out,
| remember to leave some grass growing for them to eat outside. Also, fodder
| cut from outside can only be used to feed the livestock - you'll have to buy
| some feed to feed the birds inside.
|
| To feed the birds, you can give the feed to them directly or leave it in
| the trough on the ground. The same is true for the livestock - both feeding
| it directly to them or placing it in their fodder tray accounts for their
| feed for the day. Feeding it to either type of animal directly carries an
| additional affection bonus, too.

| Weather
|
| Remember, animals must be kept inside on rainy days; otherwise, they run the
| risk of getting sick.
|
| Horses and ostriches can be road in bad weather, but only if you ride them
| out of the barn and into the barn. If you simply push them out, they'll
| suffer the ill effects of the weather. Once you've ridden them out, you can
| mount and dismount them as long as you ride them back into the barn at the
| end of the day.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {MOV} _
| Moving Animals
|
| Animals can be called and moved in five different ways, which differ by the
| animal.
|
| Horses and ostriches can be ridden from place to place. To ride, simply stand
| alongside the animal with your saddle and use the saddle to hop on. Horses
| and ostriches can be ridden into and out of the barn, and around town. If
| you dismount, the animal will stay in roughly the same area for a decent
| period of time. Remember to ride the horse or ostrich into and out of the
| barn during bad weather: there's no affection decrease if you're riding it
| instead of pushing it in and out.
|
| Horses and ostriches, when outside, can also be whistled for. Press A and
| B at once to whistle for an animal to ride and the nearest rideable animal
| will head your way.
|
| All livestock animals (every animal except chickens and ducks) can be pushed
| by standing to one side and walking against the animal. This is the most
| precise movement method for livestock, but is also the slowest.
|
| Livestock can also be called towards you using the bell. When you ring the
| bell, every livestock animal within earshot (on screen and within a few steps
| off-screen) will walk towards your character. This isn't actually that
| useful, since to take care of the animals you need them to be somewhat
| separated. The only purpose it served in past Harvest Moon games was to make
| it easier to move the animals in and out, but in Tree of Tranquility...
|
| There is a bell alongside your barn that can be rung to automatically
| transport all your animals indoors and outdoors (whichever they weren't
| before you rang it). If some are in and some out, all will come out. This
| is the easiest way to move your animals in and out. If you want your animals
| to graze in the yard, simply let them out in the morning using the bell, then
| put them back in at night using it. That will give them ample time to graze
| and eat their fill, and will raise their affection levels too. This bell
| will summon both barn animals and coop animals.
|
| If you don't put the animals back in the barn by 5:00AM, they'll somehow be
| automatically transported there for the next morning: so there is no way to
| leave animals out for the next morning.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Animal Appearances
|
| Most animals can have multiple appearances: for example, cows can come in
| black, brown or black & white. Unlike A Wonderful Life, however, the color
| of a cow has no significance to the quality or sale price of that cow's milk.
| Color differences are purely cosmetic.
|
| An animal's color is determined when it is purchased or born. For birthed
| animals, the color isn't related to the color of its parent at all: a black
| cow has an equal chance of giving birth to a black cow, a brown cow or a
| black & white cow.
|
| If you have your heart set on a certain color for your animal, you can save
| and reset your game either the day you buy the animal or the day the animal
| is born. The color is determined at purchase or birth, so reloading your game
| will re-generate the animal's color, giving you a chance of a different color
| animal.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {SEL} _
| Selling
|
| You can sell one of your animals at Brownie Ranch by talking to Hanna over
| the counter.
|
| The price of the animal is based solely on its heart level; the price is
| evaluated based on a very simple formula:
|
| For coop animals (the chickens, ducks and silkworms), the sale price is
| 200G + (500G x heart_level).
|
| For barn animals (the cows, goats, horses, sheep and ostriches), the sale
| price is 500G + (500G x heart_level).
|
| In both cases, the heart level is evaluated based on the animal's hidden
| heart points - so, if your cow actually has 4.5 hearts, the sale price would
| be 2750G, even though only 4 hearts are displayed.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {DEA} _
| Death
|
| Animals can die, both of old age and of illness. To prevent animals from
| dying of illness, make sure to have some Animal Medicine on hand in case they
| get sick. However, there's really nothing you can do to stop an animal from
| dying of old age. You can re-load your game the morning they die the first
| couple times, but the odds of them dying on a given day increases with their
| age, so eventually there will come a day when the probability is just to high
| to be avoided by a game re-load.
|
| When they die, Cain will come to your ranch and either yell at you for not
| caring about the animal enough (if they died of illness) or express his
| condolences (if they died of old age). Then the animal will be buried at the
| church graveyard.

| Brownie Ranch
|
| Brownie Ranch is your one-stop shop for all your animal-related needs. It's
| initially unavailable (see above), but once you've broken the boulder or
| reached Spring 28 (of your first year) you can get to it.
|
| Brownie Ranch functions according to a levelling system: initially, only
| certain items will be sold, but as you ship more ranch-related products,
| Brownie Ranch will level up and sell a wider variety of animals and items.
| Initially the Ranch is a 1-star ranch: it requires 5000G to level it up to
| a 2-star ranch, and an additional 5000G (10000G total) to level it up to
| a 3-star ranch. This might seem like a staggering amount, but it passes
| quicker than you expect.
|
| The star rankings listed alongside the prices below indicate the star ranking
| required for Brownie Ranch before it will sell that item.

| General Store
|
| While the vast majority of tools for running a ranch are purchased from
| Brownie Ranch, there are four items that are purchased from the General Store
| that are relevant to animals: the 00 Makers. Actually, in Tree of Tranquility
| they're just called 'Makers', but I call them 00 Makers as an homage to Back
| to Nature.
|
| These four items are used for converting animal products into more valuable
| and more usable products. There are four 00 Makers, and all are purchased

|/Chickens and ducks represent the core of the poultry portion of the game.
| Silkworms, although not technically poultry, operate almost identically to
| chickens and ducks - the only differences will be noted. Ostriches, though
| technically poultry (maybe), operate mostly like livestock, and thus will
| be grouped with livestock.
|
| In this section, the initial sections will describe the aspects of the entire
| category of the animal; the sections at below will describe aspects specific
| to a particular animal.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {PPU} _
| Purchasing
|
| The three poultry animals are obtained from Brownie Ranch. Initially, only
| chickens and silkworms are available, whereas ducks require for Brownie
| Ranch to level up to 3 stars before they're sold. Chickens cost 2100G to
| purchase; silkworms cost 2850G; and ducks cost 2400G. Animals will arrive
| immediately after you purchase them from Brownie Ranch. For poultry, all
| three animals are fully grown and able to produce products immediately.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {PFE} _
| Feeding
|
| Chickens, ducks and silkworms (yes, even silkworms) eat bird seed. All need
| to be fed each day. If one isn't fed for a day, it will stop producing eggs
| (or silk) for a couple days afterward. If one isn't fed for multiple days at
| a time, it may get sick and die.
|
| Unlike past Harvest Moon games where chickens had to be fed via their feeding
| trough, in Tree of Tranquility you can feed your animals directly. In fact,
| when your coop is full, you'll have to: there aren't enough spaces in the
| feeding troughs to place enough food for every animal in a full coop. So,
| each day give each animal - chicken, duck or silkworm - a pile of bird feed.
|
| Alternatively, chickens and ducks can be fed simply by being let outside.
| There they'll each eat a patch of grass per day. Chickens and ducks are
| automatically moved out when you ring the Bell outside the barn, as well as
| automatically moved inside when you ring the Bell again.
|
| Some players may also want to leave some feed in the feeding troughs
| consistently. Feed placed in the troughs will not disappear until it's eaten,
| no matter how long it sits there, so placing food in the trough is an
| effective safeguard in case you accidentally forget to feed the animals for
| a day. Don't depend on this, though, considering again that a full coop can't
| be fed for a day strictly through the feeding troughs. And remember, if you
| have an egg in the incubator, it will "eat" one square of feed per day if you
| leave some in the troughs.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {PAF} _
| Affection
|
| Like villagers and livestock, poultry operate on a 10-heart system for
| affection - each heart corresponds to 100 heart points. So, raising a poultry
| animal's affection by 100 heart points corresponds to an increase in 1 heart
| on their heart level.
|
| There are three ways to increase a poultry animal's heart points:
|
| Action Heart Points
| Hand-Feeding 1
| Picking Up 5
| Letting Outside 3
|
| As you can see from those values, raising a poultry animal's heart level is a
| long, slow process. Fortunately, you can both hand-feed and let the poultry
| outside the same day (they receive the points for both, even if they've
| already eaten when they go outside), but you may find this overkill for only
| 1 extra point per day (it will take only about 14 extra days to raise a
| poultry animal's heart level to 10 hearts from 0 if you do not hand-feed
| them every day).
|
| Using these numbers, the fastest that the animals' heart level can be raised
| by one heart is:
|
| Animal and Care Days to +1 Heart
| Chickens/Ducks
| Hand-Feeding, Picking Up and Letting Outside 11
| Hand-Feeding and Picking Up 16
| Hand-Feeding and Letting Outside 25
| Picking Up and Letting Outside 12
| Only Picking Up 20
| Only Letting Outside 33
| Only Hand-Feeding 100
| Silkworms
| Hand-Feeding and Picking Up 16
| Only Hand-Feeding 100
| Only Picking Up 20
|
| Obviously, 'Only Picking Up' is not recommended given that your animals need
| to, you know, eat. Note also that these numbers are approximate, given that
| rain will necessitate that you not let the chickens and ducks outside on
| certain days.
|
| This also makes it clearer why it takes ages and ages to raise a silkworm's
| heart level. Fortunately, the dye pot and yarn maker make silkworm's
| affection relatively irrelevant.
|
| Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to lower a poultry animal's heart level than
| raise it. Two actions lower their heart level: letting them outside in the
| rain (-10 points) and using a tool on them (-50 points or more). Fortunately
| though, forgetting to feed them does not appear to lower their affection:
| instead, they just don't give products for a couple days after a missed
| feeding.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {PPR} _
| Products
|
| Each animal produces a sellable product. Chickens and ducks produce eggs,
| while silkworms produce silk cocoons. Chickens lay an egg every day, while
| ducks lay an egg every other day. Silkworms lay a cocoon ball every fourth
| day. All these items can simply be picked up off the coop floor. They'll
| even stay around from day-to-day if you don't pick them up the first time you
| see them.
|
| Chicken and duck eggs and silkworm cocoons all have quality ratings: decent,
| good, perfect and shining. Higher quality products sell for more money; for
| a complete price listing, see the At-A-Glance section above or Products
| section below.
|
| Quality ratings are related to the particular animal's level of affection.
| A brand new chicken will produce primarily decent eggs, but as it levels up
| it will produce more and more good and perfect eggs. Shining eggs and silk
| are a rarity even for 10-heart animals, however.
|
| These products can also be turned into other products using the Mayo Maker
| (for chicken and duck eggs) and the Yarn Maker (for the silk cocoons).
| Chicken eggs retain their quality rating when put into the Mayo Maker
| (leading to decent-, good-, perfect- and shining-quality mayonnaise), but
| duck eggs all lead to the same quality product. Silk also retains its
| quality, becoming decent-, good-, perfect- and shining-quality Yarn. This
| Yarn can then be placed in a dye pot with flowers or herbs of different
| colors to yield dyed Yarn. The sale prices of all these products can also
| be found in the At-A-Glance section above or Products section below.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {PBR} _
| Breeding
|
| Chickens and ducks can be bred on your farm by placing their eggs in the
| incubator. An egg placed in the incubator will take one week to hatch a chick
| or duckling. The baby bird will then take a week to mature and start
| producing eggs of its own. Baby birds do not need to be fed.
|
| Silkworms cannot be bred; they can only be obtained by purchase from Brownie
| Ranch.

| /
|/Livestock, for our purposes, refers to all the animals that live in the barn:
| cows, sheep, goats, ostriches and horses. Functionally, cows and goats are
| essentially the same, while sheep are a bit different. Ostriches share a good
| bit in common with the poultry listed above, but actually have more in common
| with these livestock animals. And horses themselves are pretty different. But
| the fundamentals behind all five of these animals - purchasing, feeding, and
| raising affection - are the same.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {LPU} _
| Purchasing
|
| Like all poultry, all livestock are obtained from Brownie Ranch. Initially,
| only cows (calves) and sheep (lambs) are available. Goats and horses become
| available at 2 stars, while ostriches become available at 3 stars.
|
| New cows cost 4500G, while new sheep cost 4200G. New goats cost 3600G, while
| new horses cost 6300G. Ostriches cost a whopping 13500G.
|
| Note that no livestock animal purchased from Brownie Ranch is fully-grown at
| the time of purchase. Cows and horses will take 28 days to mature into a full
| milk-producing or ridable animal, while goats and sheep will take 14 days.
| Ostriches, oddly enough, take 24 days.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {LFE} _
| Feeding
|
| Like poultry, livestock can be fed in three different ways:
| - Place fodder in their feeding bin.
| - Hand fodder to them directly.
| - Let them graze outside.
|
| Livestock may get sick if you miss feeding them for a day, so make sure to
| either give them some fodder every day or let them outside. Like poultry, it
| may be effective to leave some fodder in the animals' trays in case you
| forget to feed them one day - fodder left in the tray will stay in there
| until the first day when the animals aren't fed.
|
| Unlike the bird coop, where there is one giant mass of space to place all
| the feed on, each livestock animal has its own feeding trough to eat out
| of - so you can be sure that there are enough troughs for all the animals in
| case you forget to feed them for a day. Animals won't strictly eat out of
| their own bin either; if you have only one animal, but place the fodder in
| the furthest feeding trough, it will still eat it.
|
| All five livestock animals - including ostriches - eat fodder, so there's no
| need to worry about having enough of specific types, or hauling bird feed
| over from the bird coop.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {LAF} _
| Affection
|
| Like villagers and poultry, livestock operate on a 10-heart system. Each
| heart corresponds to 100 heart points - so, raising an animal's heart points
| by 100 corresponds to an increase in 1 in their heart level.
|
| There are several ways to increase livestocks' heart points:
|
| Action Heart Points</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
| Hand-Feeding 1
| Letting Outside 3
| Talking 5
| Brushing 10
| Milking/Shearing 3 (shearing can only be done every 4 days)
|
| As those numbers show, raising the affection of livestock is a lot faster
| than raising the affection of chickens, ducks and silkworms. And like
| poultry, you can receive heart points both for hand-feeding and for letting
| your livestock outside. Again, given that hand-feeding is only worth one
| point, this may not be worth it to you.
|
| Using those numbers, we find the following fastest times for raising animals'
| heart levels. Note that cows and goats operate under the same conditions.

| Products
|
| Products are the main place where the five livestock animals differ. Two
| produce milk (cows and goats), one produces wool (sheep), one produces eggs
| (ostriches) and one produces nothing at all (horses).
|
| All products do have quality ratings, however: decent, good, perfect and
| shining. Higher-quality goods sell for more money. Initially, newly obtained
| animals will produce primarily decent-quality goods - but as their affection
| level rises, they'll produce more and more good- and perfect-quality goods.
| Shining-quality goods are rare even for 10-heart animals, however.
|
| Products are obtained in different ways. Milk is obtained from cows and goats
| using the milker, and can be obtained every day. Simply stand alongside the
| cow or goat with the milker equipped and use it: the milk will appear in your
| hands. The process is essentially the same for sheep: stand alongside a
| woolly sheep (wool regrows every 4 days) and use the shears to clip and keep
| it.
|
| The ostrich, like the poultry, lays eggs that can be found on the barn floor
| in the morning. The eggs will remain in place after they've been laid
| whether you pick them up or not. Ostrich eggs are laid every four days,
| similar to sheep wool.
|
| Horses do not produce any products; their only purpose is transportation.
|
| For complete prices of these goods, see the At-A-Glance section above or the
| Products section below.
|
| All these animal products can, in turn, be used to create secondary goods.
| Cow and goat milk can both be turned into cheese or butter using the Cheese
| Maker or the Butter Maker. Sheep wool can be turned into yarn using the Yarn
| Maker. And ostrich eggs can be turned into mayonnaise using the Mayo Maker.
|
| It's important to note, however, that ostrich mayonnaise does not have a
| quality rating, and itself sells for less than good, perfect or shining
| ostrich eggs. Therefore, it's only useful to convert ostrich eggs to
| mayonnaise if the egg is of decent-quality - except if you need the ostrich
| mayonnaise for the goddess recipe.
|
| Complete prices for all these secondary goods can be found in the At-A-Glance
| section above or the Products section below.

| Illness
|
| Animals may get sick if you forget to feed them or leave them out in the
| rain. If an animal gets sick, it will stop producing products for a few days
| (except sheep) or stop letting you ride it for a few days (for ostriches and
| horses). If it remains sick for too long, it may even die.
|
| If your animal does get sick somehow, use an Animal Medicine on it. It's best
| to keep one of these on hand in case an animal gets sick on a day when
| Brownie Ranch is closed. Animal affection will decrease with every day the
| animal remains sick.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {LBR} _
| Breeding
|
| All five livestock animals can be bred. Four of these are bred the same way:
| cows, sheep, goats and horses all breed using their specific animal Miracle
| Potion.
|
| Miracle Potions range in cost from 1800G (goats and sheep) to 2700G (horses),
| while Cow Miracle Potions cost 2100G.
|
| Once you've used a Miracle Potion on an animal, it will become pregnant.
| Animal pregnancy times differ by animal: cows and horses will be pregnant
| for 14 days before giving birth, while sheep and goats will be pregnant for
| 7 days.
|
| Once they give birth, the baby animal will also take some time to
| mature into a full-grown, product-producing (or ridable) animal. Calves
| (baby cows) and foals (baby horses) take a full 28 days to mature to
| adulthood, while lambs (baby sheep) and kids (baby goats) take 14 days.
|
| Ostriches are bred more like poultry. There is an ostrich egg incubator in
| the barn where ostrich eggs can be placed for incubation. An ostrich egg
| will take 14 days to hatch, and the resultant baby bird will take 24 days to
| mature into adulthood.

| Transportation
|
| Horses and ostriches can also be used for transportation. To ride them,
| simply face them while holding your saddle and use it. Alternatively, if
| they're outside, you can whistle for them and you'll automatically mount them
| when they come close enough. Whistle by pressing A and B at the same time.
|
| Horses and ostriches are much faster at transporting you around than simply
| running. With the size of the island, this is actually a significant
| difference. When you dismount an animal while riding out in the field, it
| will stay in relatively the same area where you dismounted it, so you're able
| to ride it somewhere, do a task (fishing, mining, giving a gift, etc.) and
| then mount it again and ride it back.
|
| The speed of a particular horse or ostrich is based on your heart level with
| the animal. Horses and ostriches travel equally fast at the same heart
| levels - there is no speed difference between horses and ostriches.
|
| As stated, the speed is based on their heart level. A horse or ostrich with
| no hearts travels 25% faster than walking, while a horse or ostrich with
| 10 hearts travels 75% faster than walking. That means that a horse or ostrich
| with 10 hearts travels 40% faster than a horse or ostrich with 0 hearts,
| meaning that each heart level carries a 4% increase in speed.
|
| Ostriches and horses can be ridden in rainy weather as well, with no threat
| to their affection level. The key here is that you must ride the horse or
| ostrich out of the barn (instead of just pushing them out, or calling them
| out using the bell), and you must remember to ride them back inside. Animals
| are automatically transported back to the barn at 5:00AM, but if it's raining
| that day and you forget to ride the horse or ostrich back into the barn,
| they'll suffer the ill effects of the weather.
|
| Also, take note that if a horse or ostrich is ridden outside (rather than
| pushed or moved outside with the bell), it will not graze while there. In
| order to feed it, you'll have to either feed it by hand, or ride it back
| inside the barn and push it back out. On sunny or cloudy days, it's best to
| move the horse or ostrich outside with the bell, then saddle it there.
|
| And, in case you're wondering, horses can be ridden while pregnant.

\ \ | Animal Profit Analysis | / /
\ \ | | / /
\ \| "We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead |/ /
\ | me, follow me, or get out of my way." Gen. George Patton | /
\| ______________________________________________________|/
_________| |
| ___________|
| /
|/Conducting a comprehensive profit analysis for this game is quite difficult.
| There are many questions about what should be included: for example, for
| dyed yarns, should you include the money you're missing by not selling the
| flower? Should you include the money you spend on the seeds to grow the
| flowers? For cheese, butter, yarn and mayonnaise, should you include the cost
| of the 00 Maker? What about affection levels and product qualities?
|
| So, the way we're going to do this is to calculate what the most profitable
| products are as if you have unlimited resources - unlimited flowers and herbs
| for dyes, and all four makers. Then, we'll list the animals and their
| products in order based on how profitable they are. This list can then
| function as a sort of priority queue for you in choosing an animal or
| product. For example, if we were considering only cows and goats, the order
| would be:
|
| Goats (Cheese)
| Cows (Cheese)
| Cows (Butter)
| Goats (Butter)
| Cows (Milk)
| Goats (Milk)
|
| Use this type of queue to find the most profitable animal and product based
| on your current equipment. For example, if you have the Cheese Maker, the
| goat is the best option. If you don't have the Cheese Maker, a cow is a
| better option, regardless of whether you have a Butter Maker or not.
|
| The cost of food is not included in this analysis because it is the same over
| every animal: every animal costs 15G to feed on a rainy day, and is free
| to feed on a sunny day. If you specifically start to feed your animals in
| different ways, your rankings will differ.
|
| We'll rank the animals in three different categories that should encompass
| the three most common questions: the profitability of a new animal over the
| course of a year, the profitability of a possessed animal over the course of
| a month, and the profitability of a new animal over the course of its
| lifetime.
|
| Please note that due to the large degree of variability in multiple aspects
| of each animal's parameters, these are just approximations. Additionally,
| given that even at particular heart levels an animal's product quality will
| will vary, it is impossible to determine accurately exactly how much profit
| a given animal will create. These lists should be used primarily for ranking
| animals against each other, not planning for an absolute profit value.
|
| Additionally, the profits are operating as if you sell the animal's product
| in that form for every single product that animal produces: for example, the
| Blue Silk Yarn value is suggesting that you make a ball of blue silk yarn out
| of every hunk of silk a silkworm produces. Needless to say, you probably
| won't actually be able to do that. This list, though, can also serve as a
| queue for what the best product to make is given your ingredient; just go
| down the list until you find the best product you're able to make. This isn't
| the function of the list, but within each animal, the products will always
| fall in the same order, regardless of what time period their profits are
| being analyzed for.
|
| The math behind these lists is all entered into a giant OpenOffice
| spreadsheet on my computer. If you'd like to see the spreadsheet or use it
| for your own FAQ, let me know - you're more than welcome to it. Additionally,
| if you think you see an error, let me know and I'll send you my reasoning
| and we can figure it out.
|
| Key: Certain abbreviations and conventions are used below to make it easier
| for the information to fit in chart format. Note the following abbreviations:
| Silk Y : Silk Yarn
| M. : Maker
| F/H : Flower or Herb (used in dyes; here, always interchangeable)
| Bought : Profit is assuming the animal was purchased from Brownie Ranch.
| Bred : Profit is assuming the animal was bred on your farm.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ {PA1} _
| Profitability of a New Animal for a Year
|
| For bred animals, these parameters assume you either placed the egg in the
| incubator or used the Miracle Potion on the first day of the year. Remember
| that your animal certainly will not produce the same quality good all year
| round, even if its heart level stays consistent. All the prices listed below
| are assuming Decent-quality goods are the only ones produced. Your animals
| will certainly produce higher-quality goods, but the belief is that that
| should happen fairly consistently across all animals, allowing us to use
| Decent-quality goods as a benchmark for rankings.
|
| If you have any evidence that animals' affection levels develop at different
| enough rates to seriously threaten these rankings, let me know.

|
| The negative profit next to Ostrich Mayo and Ostrich Eggs correspond to the
| fact that a bought ostrich will not pay for itself in under a year.
|
| Obviously, over a one-year period the silkworm is by far the most profitable
| animal to have, if you have a yarn maker (and thus, a dye pot) and a suitable
| supply of flowers or herbs. And considering silkworms only produce silk every
| 4 days, you should have plenty of herbs and flowers at your disposal. Blue
| are obviously the best, but any color will do.
|
| Note, however, that part of the reason dyed Silk Yarn ranks so high in this
| list is because we're assuming that all the products are of Decent quality.
| Dyed Silk Yarn has no quality rating, so it inherently has an advantage in
| this list. However, considering this list is intended for one-year
| profitability only, chances are other animal products will not rise
| substantially above this level: by the end of a year, an animal will likely
| be consistently producing Good-quality product, but that would not be enough
| to alter these rankings.

| Profitability of a New Animal for a Month
|
| If you're in need of some money fast - as in, this season - the above list
| might not be too helpful. After all, cows and ostriches take an entire
| season to mature, and sheep and goats take half of one.
|
| For bred animals, these parameters assume you either placed the egg in the
| incubator or used the Miracle Potion on the first day of the month.

|
| As you can see, your quickest bet for fast money is the silkworm, but odds
| are that when you need fast money, you won't have the yarn maker yet (as it
| costs 4500G). Your best bet early in the game is the chicken - it pays for
| itself in under a season - but grab the yarn maker, dye pot and silkworm
| when you can.

| Profitability of an Owned Animal for a Month
|
| Here, instead of assuming you're just now buying or breeding your new animal,
| we'll assume that you've had it for a while. It's probably producing one
| quality of good fairly consistently, and you want to know which animal is
| most profitable over the course of a month.
|
| Under this list, there is an extra column, simply labeled Q. This list ranks
| all the different quality levels against one another, so Q represents the
| quality of that particular good: D for Decent, G for Good, P for Perfect,
| S for Shining, and N for Not Applicable (dyed yarns, duck mayonnaise and
| ostrich mayonnaise). Given that the animal has been owned prior to the month
| we're calculating, though, how the animal was obtained is irrelevant here.

| As usual, the silkworms rule if you have an unlimited supply of flowers and
| herbs (especially blue ones). But here we see some alternative profitable
| goods that are a bit more reliable - that is, they don't require you to go
| out and get an herb or a flower to make them. Goat Cheese, for one month, is
| the most profitable quality-based good, followed by plain silkworm silk yarn,
| cow cheese and cow butter. Of the goods that don't require any of the 00
| Makers, cow milk and silkworm silk are the way to go.

| Profitability of a New Animal for its Lifetime
|
| To a large extent, animal profitability over their entire lifetime mirrors
| their profitability over one month. However, there are some places when an
| alteration in an animal's lifespan has a profound impact on how profitable
| that animal ends up being over the course of its entire life.
|
| For this list, we'll be using the Perfect-quality sale price of the good to
| calculate the good's lifespan profitability. Considering that an animal can
| typically be raised to 10-hearts within a year and a half (with daily care),
| the average sale price for all goods sold in an animal's lifetime should
| average out to approximately the price of the Perfect-quality good. The only
| instance in which this might not be the case is for the silkworm, whose
| average lifespan is only 1.5 years anyway, and thus may not produce a
| substantial amount of Perfect+ quality goods; but for the sake of consistency
| we'll use sale prices for Perfect-quality silk here too.

| There you have it, the most profitable animal over its own lifespan is... the
| goat? Yeah, I was surprised too. But bought or bred, the most profitable
| animal in the game is the goat - if you have the Cheese Maker. Without the
| Cheese Maker, better opt for silkworms and sheep, if you have the yarn maker.
| And if you don't have the yarn maker, go for cows. The butter maker with
| cow milk is the next most profitable, but cows are also the most profitable
| animal if you don't have any of the four 00 Makers.
|
| Looking at the price list, it's pretty evident how much the ostrich's initial
| purchase price affects its overall profit. A purchased ostrich is arguably
| the least profitable animal over the course of its lifetime; but a bred
| ostrich is the second most profitable non-00 Maker animal. This is partially
| due to the ostrich possessing the longest lifespan among the producing
| animals.

| Notice that several products actually have negative profit margins. They are:
| - Shining Silk Yarn (converted to Yellow Silk Yarn, Green Silk Yarn or

| - Shining Yarn (converted to Yellow Yarn, Green Yarn or Purple Yarn)
| - Shining Wool (converted to Yellow Yarn)
| - Ostrich Eggs of Good, Perfect or Shining quality (converted to Mayonnaise)
| - Duck Eggs of Perfect or Shining quality (converted to Mayonnaise)
|
| These are products for which it is not beneficial to "upgrade". Otherwise,
| every product can be upgraded for extra profit. The most profitable upgrades
| are nearly every colored Yarn (especially Decent Silk to Blue Silk Yarn, a</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
| +1700G profit increase) and Goat Cheese (a +200G increase from Shining Milk
| to Shining Cheese).

| Quickest to Profit
|
| It's not only important how much profit an animal makes - it's also important
| how soon it becomes profitable. How fast does each animal pay for its own
| cost?
|
| Note that bred chickens, ducks and ostriches have no cost, and thus their
| time until they become profitable is 0 days.
|
| Note also that like the above lists, this is utilizing only the animal's
| Decent-quality goods for calculating the time. If your animal begins to
| produce higher-quality goods, this time will obviously decrease; however,
| typically an animal won't produce higher-quality goods until after it's begun
| to be profitable.
|
| And as always, the list is by the product used, assuming that every product
| an animal produces is converted to that product. Days are rounded up when
| a fractional number of days occurs.
|
| 'Days' are from the day an animal becomes mature: so, for animals that take
| some time to mature after purchase or birth, the combined time is provided
| in parentheses to the right. The first number is the 'time to profit' from
| the first day the animal produces product, while the second number is the
| 'time to profit' from the day the purchase money is spent (either from the
| day the animal is purchased, or from the day that the Miracle Potion is
| purchased).

| Because including 'growth' and 'birth' times in the day count alters the list

| will be included in a future update.

\ \ | Wild Animals (Your Future Pets) | / /
\ \ | | / /
\ \| "Animals are such agreeable friends: they ask |/ /
\ | no questions, they pass no criticisms." -George Eliot | /
\| ______________________________________________________|/
_________| |
| ___________|
| /
|/The island (and surrounding islands, too) is home to several animals that
| can, with time and effort, become your pets. In past Harvest Moon games,
| these were simply wild animals - but Tree of Tranquility allows you to
| befriend and adopt these cute little woodland creatures.
|
| Wild animals can be befriended the same way as any other character:
| conversation and gifts. After meeting a wild animal, it will possess an
| affection meter in your informational screens just like any other character.
|
| Speak to the animal and give it gifts to raise its affection level: once
| you've raised its affection level to 4 hearts, it will give you a gift. The
| daily television show 'Kingdom of Wildlife' airs information about a
| different animal each week, including the gifts most preferred by each
| animal. It's notable, though, that animals typically only like food items -
| best save flowers, wool and other non-edibles for the more cultured
| villagers.
|
| Similar to villagers, the maximum about of affection you can gain with an
| animal is capped -- but unlike villagers, it's capped at 14 points, not at
| 10. That means that you'll almost always be able to give any animal two of a
| particular gift, as no gift has more than a 10 point bonus. For the maximum
| benefit for a day, give the animal gifts until they stop accepting them, or
| until their response clearly changes.
|
| At 6 hearts, you'll have the option to adopt the animal as a pet. Be careful:
| once you adopt an animal, you can't get rid of it, but if you turn down the
| initial opportunity to adopt it, you won't get the option again.
|
| If you choose to adopt the pet, you'll get to name it; then it will move into
| your house. How many pets you can adopt depends on the size of your house:
| one pet per level of the house.
|
| Once a pet has been adopted, you can talk to it and take it for a walk to
| raise its affection. Otherwise, it just hangs around your house looking cute.
| Be careful, though - pets are extremely prone to becoming angry and annoyed.
| Personally, I recommend just not taking your pets for walks. They tend to get
| annoyed when you take them to walk in Winter, when you take them to walk and
| get too far ahead of them, or when you take them to walk and leave the area.
| It's easier just to leave them home.
|

| The Animals
|
| In total, there are 17 animals that can be befriended, though in some
| instances there are multiple animals in a certain category (cats, dogs,
| weasels). Each animal has its own gift preferences; mister_jmp has undertaken
| finding at least a sample of good gifts to give each animal to befriend it.
|
| The best gifts to give are listed below; the very best gifts are listed
| first. Note that other gifts may be good as well; these gifts are just known
| to grant substantial gains in friendship. For a comprehensive list of all
| known Animal Gift Preferences, see the {CAP} section of the more
| comprehensive Gift Guide at this URL:
|
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/933022/55357
|
| It is recommended to use the Preferred Gifts listed below as guidelines;
| for example, cats are shown to like Catfish, Crawfish and Saury, so there is
| a strong chance they will like other fish as well.

| Mother Bear
|
| How Many : 1
| Location : Mt. Gelato Cave (near Mine and Goddess Spring)
| Gift Received : None
| Preferred Gifts : Honey
|
| The mother bear is different from the other adoptable wild animals. She lives
| halfway up Mt. Gelato, and will prevent you from passing until you've
| befriended her. This is relevant because beyond her is the Harvest Goddess
| spring, home of a Power Berry, as well as other areas that must be accessed
| to continue the game plot.
|
| To get her to let you pass, feed her honey until her affection level is at
| 2 to 3 hearts. Once she trusts you this much, she'll let you pass, as well
| as let you meet her bear cub. It will take 14 honeys to befriend her, so two
| a day for a week will take care of it. Additionally, you could feed her 28
| fish at 4 a day - still only a week, though more items to give. Or any combo
| of the two will work.
|
| Once you've befriended her, she'll retreat into her cave and won't come back
| out. However, after you've befriended her, the Bear Cub will start wandering
| the lower part of Mt. Gelato.

\ \ | FAQ | / /
\ \ | | / /
\ \| "Reason can answer questions, but |/ /
\ | imagination has to ask them." -Dr. Ralph Gerard | /
\| ______________________________________________________|/
_________| |
| ___________|
| /
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Why are my livestock always annoyed?
|
| Your livestock (coop and barn animals) will get annoyed if you go a couple
| days without touching them - that means without milking, brushing, hand-
| feeding or talking to them. It doesn't appear that being annoyed lowers their
| heart level at all, though.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Why are my animals sparkling?
|
| Animals sparkle once they've been let outside. No, they aren't zombies.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| How can I get better-quality goods from my animals?
|
| Raise their heart levels. Even then, though, the product qualities are
| somewhat randomized, and Shining products are still rare. Some
| experimentation has shown that hand-feeding the animal before milking or
| sheering it may improve its product quality, so try that if you're in need of
| a high quality good.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| How can I easily get a Shining Wool?
|
| As said above, it's a lot of luck. Your sheep needs to have a lot of hearts,
| preferably 10. After that, hand-feeding it might increase the odds of getting
| a Shining-quality Wool.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Can pets be bred?
|
| No.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| How many pets can you have?
|
| One per level of your house - at a level 5 house, you can have 5 pets.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| It's taking forever to get (wild animal)'s hearts up!
|
| It's difficult to do. The fastest way is to just give the animal gifts until
| it refuses to accept anymore, but oftentimes this is over a dozen gifts.
| Giving gifts until it stops accepting them should increase its heart level by
| one heart per week.

| Why are my pets always annoyed?
|
| This is a common problem, but its cause isn't clear. Using a tool in the
| general vicinity of your animal will annoy it, but it appears that taking it
| for a walk anytime in Winter might also tick it off. Once it's annoyed, it
| takes a long time for it to get over it.

| In your profit analysis, you didn't consider breeding animals to sell. Is
| it ever profitable?
|
| I looked into it, and the short answer is no. For livestock, the sale price
| of a newborn animal is never even close to the cost of the Miracle Potion
| that was used to impregnate it: it isn't until the animal has a bunch of
| hearts that it begins to sell for even the cost of the Miracle Potion. The
| only time it's truly profitable to sell an animal is when it's about to die,
| or if you're selling it in order to buy a more profitable animal.
|
| Chickens and ducks, despite being free to breed, are not profitable either.
| In order to incubate a chicken or duck egg, you need to have one empty space
| available in your bird coop for that week, and then you'll also have a
| non-egg-producing bird for a week until it matures. A duck or chicken in that
| coop spot will produce more profit with its eggs in those two weeks than
| selling the bred duck/chicken would. So again, it's only profitable to sell
| a duck or chicken if it's about to die.

| To e-mail me, PLEASE preface your e-mail subject line with [ToT] in
| brackets. I get a lot of spam, so that will help me sort through it and
| find your e-mail. If possible, IM me instead of e-mailing me if you have a
| question, but e-mail me if you have a contribution or correction.
|
| If you are submitting a tip or correction, please include how you would
| like to be credited. Otherwise I'll credit you by your e-mail address or
| screenname.
|
| I'd hoped not to have to do this, but I also need to make a disclaimer about
| the type of communication I'll accept. But my old note scared people off, so
| let me make it more succinct.
|
| I'm more than happy to answer any questions about Harvest Moon: Tree of
| Tranquility, via e-mail or IM. However, please note the
| following:
| - I am not interested in just chatting about Harvest Moon: Tree of
| Tranquility. That means, don't ask me who I married, if I've finished the
| game, how much money I have, etc. And I'm not all that interested in
| hearing every detail about your farm either. Sorry.
| - I am not interested in chatting about any other game, nor am I qualified
| to answer questions about any game except for Harvest Moon: Tree of
| Tranquility. That means, don't ask me about Spore, Gears of War,
| Kingodm Hearts, Animal Crossing or Age of Empires. Don't ask me what other
| video game systems I have. Don't list yours for me. I'm really not
| interested in hearing about it. Sorry.
| - If you ask me a question that is clearly stated somewhere in this guide,
| I'll tell you how to find it. I won't look up the answer for you. I didn't
| write this guide just so people could scroll to the bottom and find my
| e-mail address. Don't be afraid to ask, but don't be upset if I respond
| with a search code.
| - Please type communicably. I'm not obsessed with proper grammar/spelling,
| but if I can't understand what you're saying I just won't respond. And
| this one is just a pet peeve of mine: I have no idea what any of these
| "smileys" mean: ^^ ^^; -_- >> << <<; >>;; <_> >_< n-n n.n - and I have no
| desire to know. So don't say anything that's dependent on me understanding
| what these devilspawn illegitimate children of lolspeak and anime mean.
| - I am not interested in just chatting. That means, do not send me videos
| of sneezing pandas. Do not ask me what I look like. Do not ask me what
| "IMing" is. Do not ask me if I know a good cheat site. Do not send me the
| "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" video. Do not send me a "Kiwee Emoticon." Do
| not ask me if I like Naruto. And do NOT write DetroitDJ fanfiction.
| Seriously, creepy.
|
| And yes, every single thing I've listed above has actually happened.
|
| Basically, if you contact me and I don't answer, ask yourself one question:
| Am I asking a question about Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility? If the answer
| is no, then now you know why I'm not responding. If you have a question,
| don't hesitate to ask.
