Takakura's House 
Duh, Takakura lives here, but most of the time he's not home.  He's always 
wondering around town so don't expect him taking a nap when you walk in.

upgrade buldings, and ship vegetables after getting 2nd generation crops.

dog here in his food tray. 
 
Home 
There is your castle and here you go to sleep, save, cook, watch tv, read 
info on game tips, play your music records.  Your child and wife will

7.[..Character Help and FAQs..]------------------------------------------------- 
 
Everybody in the town love to receive items, and you can make good friends 
with them from giving them what they (like)(Check their likes and dislikes in other general faqs). Some can even make your life easier on the farm so check out the rest. 
 
Daryl - the local scientist will give you a seed-maker for free by the end of the year if you give him fishes (preferably a snelt). Or give him his likes (eggs, bones, coins, Earth Soup). The Seed-Maker can be bought for 6000G. 
 
Van - can visit mineral town if you link gba and gcn together. 
 
Tim & Ruby - go to their room when Tim is there 8am, and they will give you a hoe. 
 
Vesta - become good friends with her and she might give you a special hoe 
        she doesn't know how to use. 
 
Gustafa - go to his house when he's home around 10am and he'll give you a new sickle. 
 
Hardy - become good friends with him and usually from chapter 2 on you can get a sickle from him. 
 
Romana - stops by with a cat if you're good friends with her. ~_^ 
       - become good friends with her and she'll give you a useless 
         watering can. 
 
Wally - become good friends with him and he'll give you a pair of shears 
 
Cody - become friends and you'll get artwork to put up either in your 
       bedroom or living room (Chapter 4+). 
 
Dachan - unknown teddy bear. Your child talks about how Dachan often talks 
         to him. You can buy him for 1200G in chapter 3. 
  
Mukumuku - Referred to by the Harvest Sprites as the 'guardian of the forest'. You'll see him walking around during spring. 
 
*Tartan - creates hybrid seeds. Feed it seeds and it gives hybrid crop in return (Takakura brings home one day)(hates carrots). 
        - Special Flowers - Use 'Happy Lamp', 'Soil Shiraz' and 'Up-Seed' 
          to upgrade ranks 
        - Tartan can't use flowers on the tree seeds 
        - Upgrade ranks on Trees w/out Fertilizer by mixing high-rank 
          seed + low-rank seed (As long as the S-rank tree is part of 
          the mix, it's rank properties will carry over) 
 
8.[..Animal Care..]------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Note - The Brush is purchased from Van. 
 
(Cows) - Keep all your cows outside when its nice outside & wash them 
         (makes them happier). 
       - Bring them back inside when the weather is bad (raining, 
         snowing, etc...). 
       - Don't bother your cows if they are sleeping 
       - Feed them 2 times a day 
       - you can Milk them 2 times a day         
       - Cows can be milked for four seasons after giving birth 
       - Feeding them good fodder (order from Notebook in Food Storage 
         Room) will make them happier, thus giving you grade S milk (natural happiness is better). 
       - You can keep your cow & impregnate it again or you can sell it once. It's done producing milk and buy a better cow. 
       - Don't Seed more than 1 cow, they must be 10 days or more apart 
         before seeding another. 
       - Pregnant cows must be fed accordingly due to their lack of movement 
       - Once you get the Milk Processing Room, cows will milk themselves 
 
(Calf) - Feed them 'Special Milk' twice a day right after it's born 
-        Feed it regular milk once the 'Special Milk' is no longer available 
 
(Additional Info) - You must also pay to have a cow seeded. A heifer will 
                    not give milk until she has a calf, and will only give 
                    milk for about a year after the calf's birth. Then the cow will have to be seeded again. However, if you have a heifer mate with one of the bulls on your own farm, then it will cost nothing to have it seeded. 
                  - Cross breeding is possible between Normal, Brown, Marble and Star cows. 
 
(Chicken) - In order to incubate eggs you must have a hen and a rooster with a fertilized egg. 
          - Before buying a chicken make sure you have enough money to buy the Chicken Feed (chicken feed must be ordered from the Food Storage Room). 
          - Taking good care of chickens can result in Golden Eggs, which 
            sell for 300G each. 
          - Eggs take 5 days to hatch & it takes baby chicks another 5 days before they can mature. 
 
(Sheep)   - They are clipped once a season (be sure to have a pair of 
            clippers/shears). 
           - Keeping them in great condition results in Golden Wool (hug it twice a day). 
          - Keep in mind that Sheep cannot be sold. 
          - Don't bother your sheep if they are sleeping. 
          - Wash it & Brush it! 
 
(Horse)   - Randomly given to you by Takakura anytime of the year. 
          - Keep it outside when nice out, Ride it, Wash it. 
          - Be sure to feed it everyday, brush & talk to it. 
          - Drastically shortens the time getting around town by riding it. 
          - Don't bother your horse if they are sleeping. 
 
(Goats)   - Van sells goats in Chapter 2, Spring (each spring every year) 
            (costs 4000G). 
          - Gives milk for about one year 
          - Don't bother your goats if they are sleeping 
          - Brush & Wash it 
 
(Ducks)   - A Pond must be built during Chapter 1 (ordered/bought from 
            storage room). 
          - Must be raising less than 6 chickens 
          - You can choose weather or not to keep them or not 
          - Placing some of the eggs in the incubator can hatch ducks 
            instead of chikens. 
          - Can be sold for 500G. 
 
(Dogs)    - Be sure to feed it everyday if you want it to be happier 
          - Once the dog becomes happy you can hug it 
          - If you kept your dog really happy he'll follow you, bark, 
            & maybe even learn tricks. 
          - Chihuahua can be available after collecting all the Tablets 
            in the Mines. 
          - The dog also chases away strangers. 
 
(Cat)     - Romana stops by with a cat (Fall, 1st year of Chapter 2). 
          - You must be good friends with her in order for her to bring 
            the cat. 
 
9.[..Crops..]------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Before I begin to write down any useful information on crops, everyone has 
to understand that crops (vegetables) in this game aren't really meant to 
be grown for huge profits. 
 
- Crops can be used more for making home cooked meals. 
- Don't buy seeds that belong in a different season, they won’t grow. 
- You can water your plants more than once a day (watering more makes it 
  grow faster). 
- Fertilizer helps make high grade vegetables (Grade-A, Grade-S)(sells 
  for more $). 
 
a. (Fertilizer) 
 - Fertilizing is expensive but it is well worth it because when you use 
   S-Level vegetables in the seed-maker, you'll get S-Level seeds to grow 
   S-Level crops. 
 - Plow->Fertilizer->Plant Seed (A-Grade 4X, S-Grade 8X) 
 - The more Fertilizer you use the higher the Grade of vegetable (don't 
   overuse). 
 - Water as much as you can. 
 
b. (Planting) 
XOXOXOX - Plant in Checkered formation (results in faster growth & less 
          watering). 
OXOXOXO - 3rd generation crops + sweet potatoes in checkered formation. 
XOXOXOX - Every other crop can be bunched up together. 
 
c. (Trees) - Can be planted any time of the year 
        - Keep crops 2 spaces away (failing will result in dead crops) 
        - Plant them in the smaller fields (add fertilizer) 
        - Trees take 30X of Fertilizer for S-Grade fruits 
        - Although fruits make ok profit, the seeds go for a lot of $money$ 
          so after getting the seed-maker, take the fruits and put them 
          through the seed-maker resulting in bags of seeds which can be 
          sold for 1000+ (save fruits for the seed-maker). 
 
d. (Watering) 
        - You start out with a regular watering-can, but you can buy a 
          Large Watering can which is definitely helpful so less trips 
          are taken to the water pump. 
        - Water twice a day (water more if you can) 
        *(Wooden Watering Can) - grows trees much faster 
                               - become good friends with Romana for it 
 
e. (Tools) 
        - Just like every HM game, you can upgrade your tools, but her   we can go ahead and just buy the upgraded ones (example. Heavy Hoe, Hoe, Light Hoe). 
        - Pros & Cons. Heavier tools builds up stamina, but makes you tired 
          faster. Lighter tools lets you work more, but take longer to 
          build stamina. 
 
 
10.[..Nature - Plants & Flowers..]----------------------------------------------- 
 
For beginners these are great to start out with.  Everything listed below 
that can be used to feed yourself and your dog helps out the most towards 
the beginning.  Instead of drinking milk or spending money on drinks, you 
can eat some of the plants to reduce hunger. Your dog must be fed too and 
the plants will do the trick. 
 
(Spring) 
Mugwort             - best to use for feeding yourself or for your dog's 
                      meal (cooking & present). 
Goddess Drop Flower - Muffy is attracted to these a lot (selling & present) 
Toy Flower          - Celia is attracted to these (selling & present) 
 
(Summer) 
Royal Fern        - best to use for feeding yourself or for your dog's meal (cooking & present) 
Mist Moon Flower  - present (selling) 
Happy Lamp Flower - present (selling) 
 
(Fall) 
Hackberry         - best to use for feeding yourself or for your dog's meal(cooking & present).

Bracken           - best to use for feeding yourself or for your dog's meal(cooking & present). 
Matsutake         - best to use for feeding yourself or for your dog's meal(cooking & present). 
Gemsoil Flower    - Celia is attracted to these. Mix with seed to allow it to grow on any quality soil (present). 
Trick Blue Flower - Celia is attracted to these (present). 
 
(Winter) 
Sorrel         - best to use for feeding yourself or for your dog's meal 
                 (cooking & present). 
Amorous Flower - present. 
Upseed Flower  - Mix with a seed to make it Grade-S (selling & present). 
 
11.[..Van's Shop..]-------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Van is really important in this game.  He is basically your bank whenever 
you're in need for money. He buys EVERYTHING. Try not to sell him so much 
crops (unless they are high Grade) because he doesn't give much, but after 
having too many vegetables you can sure get rid of them.  Sell fish to him, he'll give away a lot for that which is also a good tip for beginners. 
 
(GBA LINK-UP) - the SEASIDE COTTAGE will be available in HM:FOMT after you get all 42 Link-Up Points.

12.[..Your Shop..]--------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
- A good way of selling your items would be to set up your own shop. You can 
  set one up where Van usually sets up his shop under the tree. Simply walk 
  under the tree and select to set up shop.  A good way to attract customers 
  is to whistle with the R button.  Also wait until you actually see people 
  coming around that area, then set up the shop and immediatly whistle to get 
  their attention. 
 
- Bargain with them and offer them items for the cheaper price, this way 
  they will begin to like you more in becoming your friend.  This is a 
  plus because they will give you free items if you become good friends 
  with them. 
 
13.[..Bankrupt?..]--------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Now you're broke and have no money left and you are in desperate need for 
as much as you can get. There are many ways to get quick and easy money if 
you use some common sense. 
 
- unlimited amount of fodder on your field, sell fodder to Van. 
- sell your 'failed' dishes to Van. 
- catch fish. 
- sell flowers. 
- sell plants that grown on your farm/town.

15.[..Fishing..]----------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
- Fishing Pole is purchased from Van 
- Fishing is definetly a great way of getting quick and easy money and the 
  best thing to do towards the beginning of the game is to fish. 
- If you refuse the first time when you are trying to sell your fish to 
  Van, try to sell it the second time and he might offer you more money. 
- Also fishing in the mourning/early afternoon & while raining racks in 
  great fishes.
