|2.) The Advantages of Easy Farming |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
This whole guide is pretty much how you can make your life that much
easier on the farm. How is this done? By making money. How do you
make money? By farming. Those statements pretty much show that money
will help in the game because there are quite a few high ticket items
that you can find around everywhere, and plus being rich is just fun.
Plus there is the ultimate goal of buying the town house...which is
made just that much easier by following this guide.
Pretty much the only advantages are that you will be making money in
the game, and that it will make your life easier while making this
fictitious money.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|3.) The Tools You Want |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
This one right here is pretty much a no brainer...you want to have the
absolute best tools possible all of the time. But early in the game
you are also going to want them as cheap as possible too.
This can be done by just using it repeatedly until it can be upgraded
to mystrile, which is the best tool that you can have at this point.
Below is a chart of how important I think that each tool is.
Watering Can (Most Important)
Hoe (Really Helpful)
Sickle (Okay)
Axe (Somewhat Helpful)
Hammer (Only if you want to get to a (single) new
area)
Fishing Rod (Least Important)
Here is what you want to do. Using the chart above you want to upgrade
the tools up to mystrile. So if you don’t have the money and materials
(bronze, silver, gold, and mystrile ore) to upgrade all of the tools
then you are going to want to upgrade the Watering Can first as it is
the most important. Do this all of the way down to the fishing rod.
To get the money to upgrade the tools you can do some small scale
farming or you can do the oldest trick of foraging for stuff to sell.
As soon as you have all six tools upgraded to mystrile, then you can
get the cursed, blessed, and mythic tools which will make your life
even more helpful. But before you do that you will want to follow the
coming sections to get yourself about 100,000-200,000 gold. At which
point you can read my cursed tools guide in order to get the cursed,
blessed, and mythic tools.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|4.) Your Little Helpers |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
Okay, these guys are what will allow you to farm on a very large scale,
and by very large I mean your whole field. These little guys are the
Harvest Sprites. They live in a little shanty to the side of the
church.
While you still have the mystrile tools you only need to be friends (in
order for them to be friends they need three hearts, which will be
detailed later on in this section) with three-four of the Harvest
Sprites. You also only want them to do one job and that is the task
of...harvesting. This task is pretty much the only thing that they can
do better than you. You can’t walk on your crops, but they can. This
allows you to grow a lot more.
However there is a catch, you need to friends with them. This means
that you need to give them stuff. The easiest thing to give them is
flour. You want to just stock up on it and keep their heart levels
around 7-8 hearts. You will also want to play with them to make them
better at what they do.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|5.) The Way You Want to Plant |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
The best way to plant is in a way that you can water in one day, and
your sprites can harvest in one day (early on in the game if you have
all seven sprites working for you then them harvesting won’t be a
problem, but later on it could be).
Below here is my recommendation for planting your crops for the
different kind of watering can that you have. A * will represent where
plants will be and spaces will represent where nothing will be.
Starting Watering Can: *** *** You can plant as many of these as you
*** *** can manage, just don’t plant anymore
* * * * than that as that would be a waste of
money. When in doubt, plant even less.
*** ***
*** ***
* * * *
Copper Watering Can: Same thing as the starting watering can, except
this time around it doesn’t take as long to water
the whole thing.
Silver Watering Can: *** *** Once again plant as many of these as you
*** *** can manage but no more than that. These
*** *** can extend as rows all of the way down
*** *** your field and are easy to water.
*** ***
Gold Watering Can: ****** ****** Once again you can plant these all of
****** ****** the way down your field. Now it gets
****** ****** hard to manage, and you need to make
****** ****** sure that the harvest sprites will
****** ****** also be able to handle this much.
****** ******
Mystrile Watering Can: This is the same exact thing as the gold
watering can except now it is easier for you
to water your however much you plant.
Cursed Watering Can: I don’t recommend using this can as it is so easy
to upgrade and plus it wastes your energy so fast.
Blessed Watering Can: ************ ************ If you got to this
************ ************ point really fast
************ ************ then your sprites may
************ ************ have a hard time of
************ ************ keeping up. Plant this
************ ************ all down your field.
Mythic Watering Can: Plant your whole field, except for a column
on your right, and a row on the bottom of the
field. An * will represent plants and a – will
represents open space. The diagram is nowhere near
accurate and is only used to give you an idea of
what your field will look like fully planted.

------------------------------------------
Those are pretty much the most cost effective ways of planting your
crops. Of course you can always come up with your own way, these are
the designs that I recommend.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|6.) The Stuff You Want to Plant |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
When it comes to the stuff that you want to plant, there are two
different kinds of plants. You have your renewable plants that will
grow for the whole season and your non-renewable plants that will die
as soon as they are harvested.
Now of course you are always going to want to buy the plant that will
produce the highest amount of money for you. For most seasons this is
going to be renewable crops. However sometimes it is better to plant a
plant that will give experience to your sprites for the biggest
harvesting season, autumn.
---In spring you are going to want to ship 100 turnips, 100 potatoes,
and 100 cucumbers so that you will have access to the strawberry.
While strawberries make less money than turnips for each 3*3 square,
they are in fact a renewable plant. So for the first few springs
you are going to want to try to get the strawberry, and then use
that to get the harvest sprites experience up for autumn.
Now you may be saying, ‘But the harvest sprites do not work in
spring. Well what you want to do is to go to their tea party, and
then all after that they will in fact work for you.
---In summer you are going to want to plant corn. Corn makes plenty of
money for you and plus it is renewable so your little friends the
harvest sprites will also get plenty of experience from them.
Summer is in my opinion just a season for you to get ready for
autumn.
---Autumn not only is one of my favorite words, but it is also my
favorite season in this game. Autumn is the season in which you can
make a ton of money. What will get you all of this money are sweet
potatoes! These wonderful little plants are the best crop in the
game and give a ton of experience while making you a ton of money.
However there is one huge catch to the wonderfulness, if you plant
too many of these your sprites are also going to be incredibly
swamped if they don’t have enough experience to handle it. Pretty
much in spring and summer you are going to want to figure out just
how much your harvest sprites can actually harvest in one day before
you plop a whole entire field right in front of them.
---In winter there is nothing to plant...so just relax and give flour
to the sprites so that they will like you more then next year
around.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|7.) How to Spend Your Seasons |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
Although this is touched on in the last section, this is going to be
more of an in-depth look at what exactly you are going to want to do
each season.
---Spring: In spring you have two options:
1.) You can give stuff to your harvest sprites, play games
with them, or go to their tea party. You are going to
want to do this only if you already have them all well
set down their job paths (in other words they can
already harvest your whole field in one day).
2.) Be a mean little farmer and force them to harvest for
you so that you will eventually be able to do option 1.
Pretty much spring is a period to largely relax from
watering and planting stuff to go and have some fun with
your little helpers.
---Summer: In summer your one goal is to get the sprites as much
experience as possible before the giant harvest season
coming up next. You are going to want to force the sprites
to harvest for you the whole time and make sure that the day
that their term of duty doesn’t end on a day that they
should be harvesting on.
---Autumn: Sweet potato harvesting is all that you are going to be
doing this season. Once again you are going to have to make
sure that the day that the harvest sprites duties end is
going to be a day that you are not going to be harvesting.
This season is particularly tricky because the sweet
potatoes grow back every other day and so you have to be
careful of when you let them go. The easiest way to get it
all on track is to let them go on a day that you have just
harvested the whole field. Then hire them back the next day
and you will be able to follow this all of the way through
the season repeating this when they only have a few days of
service left.
---Winter: This is the season of letting your sprites stay home, unless
you have animals for them to take care of. Pretty much you
just want to give them flour until they have 8-10 hearts and
then they will be able to work for you for a whole year
without you having to give them too much stuff after this.
This season is going to be really boring except for maybe
going into the Lake Mine to get the cursed tools. Other
than that and the sprites there isn’t too much to do in this
season of boredom.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|8.) Your Animal Friends |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
Your standard crops are going to be your biggest money makers on your
farm, although there are times at which you will be too lazy to water
everything or you are in winter when you cannot farm any crops.
There is a solution to this problem and this is livestock. However
there is one big problem to livestock, it costs a lot of money to set
up a profitable system and it takes a lot of dedication to remember
that they exist.
There are three different profitable livestock. You have your chickens
which are your least profitable, you have your sheep which are your
medium animal money maker, and you have the cattle which you will make
most of your money if you decide to go the livestock way, to boost the
profits on your farm.
First we will discuss the chicken.
The chicken is the least profitable animal but it is also the
cheapest to start out with, plus if one dies then it isn’t hard to
hatch your own, while it is a lot harder to do that with sheep and
cattle. When you first get your farm you can only have four
chickens, but after you have Gotz expand your chicken coop then you
will be able to have eight chickens. Chickens produce eggs that can
be turned into mayonnaise after you buy the maker for it. You will
make more money from mayonnaise than you would from normal eggs
however you would have to do it yourself as the harvest sprites
don’t use any of the makers. Below is a chart of profit for chicken
products.
|Product |Number of Hearts Required|Gold Acquired From It|
|---------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
|Small Egg |Zero to Three Hearts |50G |
|Medium Egg |Four to Seven Hearts |60G |
|Large Egg |Eight to Ten Hearts |80G |
|Gold Egg |Win the Chicken Sumo |100G |
| |and Eight to Ten Hearts | |
|P Egg |Everything for Gold Egg |180G |
| |and 600+ Hours Outside | |
|X Egg |Random if the Chicken |350G |
| |can produce P Eggs | |
|Spa-Boiled Egg |Throw any egg into the |80G |
| |hot springs | |
|---------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
|Small Mayo |Put a small egg in maker |100G |
|Medium Mayo |Put a medium egg in maker|150G |
|Large Mayo |Put a large egg in maker |200G |
|Gold Mayo |Put a gold egg in maker |300G |
|P Mayo |Put a P egg in maker |450G |
|X Mayo |Put a X egg in maker |800G |
|---------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
As you can see if you handle the chickens yourself then you will
make a lot more money if you use the maker because like I have said
the harvest sprites don’t use the makers.
Chickens are also the hardest to raise heart levels. The only way
to raise their heart levels is to pick them up and that can only be
done once a day and by leaving them outside while it is sunny.
Chickens don’t need to be fed while they are outside, but they
should be kept in a pen so that the wild dogs don’t get to them and
make them mad.
In the coop there are little incubators that you can use to make
more little chickens. It takes three days for the eggs to hatch and
then one week until the chick grows up and starts laying eggs. It
is a lot cheaper than going out and buying all of your chickens.
Secondly we have the sheep:
Sheep are the medium livestock. While individually they make more
profit than cows do you cannot get their wool everyday. Originally
your barn can only hold eight sheep (or eight cows) but after you
have Gotz upgrade the barn then it will be able to hold sixteen
sheep (or cows). The maker for sheep creates yarn from the wool,
which like with chicken and cows it will sell for more money but the
harvest sprites don’t use it.
It costs 4,000G to buy a single sheep and then you can start
grabbing the wool off of its back that day. However you can buy a
little potion thing from Barley that will impregnate your sheep. It
costs 3,000G and so is 1,000G cheaper than buying a full grown sheep
from him. However in order to impregnate your sheep it needs to
have wool on its back. If you birth your own sheep it will take the
parent 20 days to give birth and then take the new sheep 14 days
before you are able to get wool from it. However there is an
advantage. A newborn sheep can already have 0-4 hearts when it is
born and you will also be able to have that extra time to raise its
heart level even more.
Below is a chart of profits on wool and wool products:
|Product |Number of Hearts Required |Gold Acquired From It|
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
|Small Wool |Zero to Three Hearts |100G |
|Medium Wool |Four to Seven Hearts |400G |
|Large Wool |Eight to Ten Hearts |500G |
|Gold Wool |Win the Sheep Contest |600G |
| |and Eight to Ten Hearts | |
|P Wool |Everything for Gold Wool |1000G |
| |and 600+ Hours Outside | |
|X Wool |Random if the Sheep |1000G |
| |can produce P Wool | |
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
|Small Yarn |Put a small Wool in maker |300G |
|Medium Yarn |Put a medium Wool in maker|700G |
|Large Yarn |Put a large Wool in maker |800G |
|Gold Yarn |Put a gold Wool in maker |1000G |
|P Yarn |Put a P Wool in maker |1500G |
|X Yarn |Put a X Wool in maker |4000G |
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
As you can see sheep are really profitable, however you cannot
attain their wool everyday.
It is rather easy to get a sheep’s heart level higher. You can talk
to it each day, brush it each day, and harvest its wool every few
days. Plus you can get some extra points by letting it be outside
while it is sunny. However you will have to have grass planted in
your field otherwise they will get mad at you.
Lastly we have the cattle:
Cattle are the most profitable animals out there. Your barn will
start out only able to hold eight cows (or eight sheep) and after
Gotz upgrades it, the barn will be able to hold sixteen cows (or
sixteen sheep). The maker for cows changes the milk that cows
produce into cheese. However like with every other animal, the
harvest sprites don’t know how to use it.
You can buy a cow from Barley for 5,000G it will then take seven
days until you will be able to get milk from your nice new cow.
However you can also buy a little potion thing to impregnate your
cow for 3,000G, which will save you 2,000G. Once your cow is
pregnant it takes 20 days until the new calf is born. After that it
takes 21 days until your new cow is able to give milk. Once again
the advantage is that it will be born with 0-4 hearts and you will
have that extra time to raise its heart level even more.
Below is a chart of the profits of milk and milk products:
|Product |Number of Hearts Required |Gold Acquired From It|
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
|Small Milk |Zero to Three Hearts |100G |
|Medium Milk |Four to Seven Hearts |150G |
|Large Milk |Eight to Ten Hearts |200G |
|Gold Milk |Win the Cow Contest |300G |
| |and Eight to Ten Hearts | |
|P Milk |Everything for Gold Milk |500G |
| |and 600+ Hours Outside | |
|X Milk |Random if the Cow |800G |
| |can produce P Milk | |
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
|Small Cheese |Put a small milk in maker |300G |
|Medium Cheese |Put a medium milk in maker|400G |
|Large Cheese |Put a large milk in maker |500G |
|Gold Cheese |Put a gold milk in maker |600G |
|P Cheese |Put a P milk in maker |750G |
|X Cheese |Put a X milk in maker |1500G |
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
Cows are the most profitable as they are capable of being harvest
every single day unlike sheep.
Like sheep it is easy to raise a cow’s heart level fast. You can
talk to it once a day, milk it once a day, and brush it once a day.
You can also leave them outside while it is sunny just so long as
you have grass planted in your field.
/---------------------------------------------------------------------\
|9.) Instant Transmission |
\---------------------------------------------------------------------/
This whole section is about the teleport stone. This stone makes
your whole life so much easier because it allows you to teleport to
anywhere on the whole map. Now rather than walking to the store
everyday and to the harvest sprite shack you can teleport there in an
instant.
However there is a huge catch. The teleport stone is buried on the
last floor of the Spring Mine. That means that you have to dig down
255 floors in order to get it, but that is worth not having to walk the
rest of your life.
Elli Leaves are something that are pretty much vital to getting the
teleport stone. What they do is restore your stamina and fatigue all
the way up to 100 percent, which is vital for getting down to the last
floor.
The Elli Leaves are a very complicated food to make here is the recipe:
First you go to the hospital and buy four Bodgizers and four
Turbojolts from Elli.
Next you need to make them into Bodigizer XLs and TurboJolt XLs.
You do this by adding blue grass to the Bodigizer and using the Mixer
on them and by adding green grass to the Turbojolt and using the Mixer.
Now is the hard part. You need to go to your chicken coop or your
barn and grab six pieces of feed. On one you need to use the Knife.
On the second you need to use the Frying Pan. On the third you need to
use the Pot. On the fourth you need to use the Mixer. On the fifth
you need to use the Whisk and the Oven. On the sixth and final you
need to use the Rolling Pin.
Now you need to use the six burnt foods that you just made along
with the Bodigizer XL and the Turbojolt XL using the Knife, Frying Pan,
Oven, Pot, Sugar, Salt, Vinegar, Soy Sauce, and Miso.
Congratulations, you now have one Elli Leave! Now repeat the
process above so that you have four of them total.
Now we have the problem of getting that far down in the mine. First
you are going to want to bring eight Elli Leaves with you to make your
odds of getting the teleport stone just that much easier. Next you
follow these steps:
1.) MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ATLEAST ONE TOOL SPOT OPEN IN YOUR
RUCKSACK SO THAT YOU CAN PICK UP THE TELEPORT STONE, IF YOU DON’T THEN
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT!
2.) Save your data on File 1 soon as you enter the mine. Make sure
you save it before you have used any of your tools that day, it will
help a lot.
3.) Smash rocks and dig around until you find the stairway down to
the next level of the mine.
4.) Take note of exactly where the stairway is.
5.) Load your data from File 1.
6.) Go to where the stairway was and dig there.
7.) Before going down the stairs save your data on File 2 (this is
so that if the next level is a dead end or you just don’t like the way
the next level looks you can get a different level next).
8.) Save your data on File 1 before you do anything on that level.
9.) Repeat all of the steps until you are on the bottom floor.
