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 yourself 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, and 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 2,500 Gold and 250 pieces of lumber the first time and

5,000 Gold and 500 pieces of lumber the second time.

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-

Ranch Master Idol: This is a plant you get after you get all three gifts

and become Ranch Master.

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: It's the same as Cow Feed but it's for Chickens. I don't

know why, but it's 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, and 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.

milk.

* Chicks don't need food; they eat scraps off the ground.

* When you talk to the Harvest Sprites make sure you don't have any

tools in your hand.

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.

times.

afterwards or before.

* 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.

so wild dogs don't break your fence.

all.

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.

dig.

* ALWAYS have food and drinks.

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 doesn't give you

anything. If you have your Timer Function on it can advance the date on

your game.

The Reappearing Egg trick does not work (ship all eggs, turn off game,

repeat...).

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 you're low on money.

Bird Feet: When Ellen loses her bird your cows' feet will turn in to

birds.

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

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 you're lucky you will both have a Golden Hen

that 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.

Cool Cow Code

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 it

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

20. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)-

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 has them. If you can't find them call

Natsume at (650)-692-1941 or Nintendo at (800)-255-3700.

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 that happened to me. You only have to

buy a new Sprinkler.

Q: What gives 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' Bessie.

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 and 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.

21. Walkthrough- UPDATED

I promised a walkthrough and here it is. I'm almost done with Summer,

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 can't predict 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 deceased 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 you're done with all that work, you should till your

entire 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 too 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 materials.

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 and 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 mealtime. 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.
