Seriously, no one has made a reply since my last one?
Even if it was just a little tip......
I would love any tips you have.

[HM-Leafy]

Wonderfuls are your best friend. No, really. Go into the mine and whack the crystals and the crystals only; then refine any wonderfuls you fine as soon as you can. You can make 10,000+ daily JUST this way, then that plus any crops or animal produce.

Don't buy ducks. It's not worth it at all. Just have chickens in your coop and then the silkworms. Also, don't dye yarn unless it's decent quality; if you do dye it, dye it blue. Collect blue herbs and save them if you can; plus, blue herbs are loved by Anissa if you want to befriend her or are trying to get an extra friend for the purple bell.

Talk to anyone you run into. It builds hearts slowly, sure, but it helps! You don't HAVE to give people gifts; it may take longer but it means you can save your good quality stuff for shipping. Many people enjoy simpler gifts, too, like how Bo likes mushrooms and Chase, Toby, Renee, Selena etc. like some/most of the stuff you can find on the beach.

Peeeetttts. Same as before, you don't need to bother with gifts, just interact with animals you see - it takes longer but, again, money. With some animals you can give them lower quality things you don"5 want; if I have any decent milk, I'll give it to the Beagle/Shiba/Collie. Other than that, yeah. They're good when you have them; you can train them to enter in the pet contest (have them perform their best trick daily to train) and take them for walks every day too so they can find things for you.

Family is good for money! Have spouse and children go fishing or mining for you (you can check UNoT children page to see which personality suits which one) During winter, have them mine. All other seasons, fishing. This gets a good 1000-5000g a day, and it does help.

In the barn, I suggest cows, sheep and an ostrich. I suggest the ostrich over the horse because, even though it isn't as fast, it does have produce which sells for a decent amount. Though only ever keep one at a time because they aren't extremely profitable. Sheeps wool sells for a lot, and then turn all milk into butter or cheese if you have the makers. Same goes with any chicken eggs; always make it mayonnaise. The different may not seem like much at first but it adds up.

And UPGRADE YOUR TOOLS. I suggest at the beginning of the game, get 18 of each of the metals so you don't need to waste time later. Also, get around 1000 of both wood and stone. Yeah, it's a lot, but again if you do this early on in the game, it saves you time later on when you're busier with other things.

Get all the power berries you can as quickly as you can. The easiests ones to start with are the two in the mines and the one you get from raising a livestock animal to 10 hearts. Fish often to get your rods level up to 5. Till all the soil on your plots to get your hoes level up to 5 as well. Then, when you get married, continue to give gifts and such to your spouse to get them up to 20 hearts. Raise your first kid well to 10 hearts. Then you've had them all and you've got a tonne of stamina, which is really helpful when it comes to farming and mining and all that. Also, if you're low on stamina but it's not that late in the game day yet, remember there's a hot spring on your farm, and there are herbs and such everywhere. You can always fish until around 8pm or so.

Use your time well! Do everything you can in each game day. It really does help.


All I have for now o3o Hope this helped some people .u.

Thank you.

Calvin:likes eggs

Gill: Tomato Juice (His very favorite).
Wizard: Coffee
Perry: Onigiri
Luke & Bo: Spinach
You can get everything above at the Ocarina Inn

Ozzie, Paolo, and Pascal: Clams in Fall.
Ozzie and Paolo: Fish anytime. Saves time to buy the cheapest fish you can from Ozzie.
Renee: Either fish, clams, or both. Don't remember which.
Toby: Sakura Seashell
Harvest Sprites: What's the one mushroom type you can find nearly anywhere? Common Mushroom of course! Give these to them.
Colleen: Random fruits you can forage. (Not farm grown ones. Those are much better for shipping.)
Simon: Good Yams in Fall.

Mining Tip: Every common mushroom you see anywhere, even out of the mine, save. Don't ship them. They have a much better use. When going mining and you are running out of energy, eat a few of them. Eating about ten will nearly refill your stamina bar, and they are super easy to find. That means you can build up your mushroom stash easily, and refill it quite quickly as well. These mushrooms are everywhere! And even though it takes you a couple minutes to completely refill your stamina bar using them, you can save the money you would have used buying bodigizers. I decided to go all the way down the Garmon Mines, and it took me about three game days to do so, and only like forty Common Mushrooms.

Awesome tips everyone!
Keep them coming please.

List any Recipes you have too!

Oh, I have tips too!

When you get 3 hearts with Jin, go to the cemetary on a Wednesday, and you should find a hurt bird. You will take it to Jin to give it medical attention. Come back to the clinic the next day, and the bird will be all better! Go back to the cemetary and look at Mary's grave. The bird will give you a gift! Keep going back every Thursday and the bird will keep giving you gifts on every Thursday! ^_^ (I got good stuff like seeds, it's really a big help!)

Also, MAKE SURE TO SAVE A CARROT during the Fall. Sometime in Winter, on the night of a hard snow, Rob Frost (a snowman) might show up late at night. He asks you for help since he lost his nose. Give him the carrot for his nose, and he will give you a gift if you talk to him every day! He gives good stuff too, like perfect veggies and jewels. :3

I'm posting these because I would have never known them on my own, they are kind of like secrets. :3
I hope they are helpful!

[MDofDarkheart]

Thank you Ponytail!
Those are very helpful tips!
If you find anymore tips not listed here already feel free to add them.

To add to the mining tip: Search upper Garmon Mine floors 20-30 for white wonderfuls. You are more likely to get white wonderfuls that yield diamonds on those floors. :3
Diamonds are the most valuable of all the stones, but don't show up often...so get as many as you can! I made lots of money very quickly doing this. :3
