Too slow for me. Not enough action, just farming and talking. Not my style. 😕

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town available on the original Wii console?

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town was originally released on the Game Boy Advance. While there wasn't a direct release for the original Wii console, it was later made available on the Wii U Virtual Console. The most recent iteration is a full remake titled 'Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town' for Nintendo Switch and PC.

How do I get married in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town?

To get married, you need to raise a bachelorette's heart level to red, upgrade your house at least once (to get the big bed), purchase a Blue Feather from Huang/Won, and have seen all four heart events for your chosen partner. Once these conditions are met, propose with the Blue Feather.

What are the best ways to earn money early in the game?

In the very early stages, foraging for wild items (herbs, berries, mushrooms) and selling them is a good initial strategy. Fishing can also be very profitable, especially once you upgrade your fishing rod. As you progress, growing seasonal crops like turnips and potatoes (spring) or corn and tomatoes (summer) can yield significant returns.

How do I upgrade my tools?

To upgrade your tools, you need to use them frequently to gain experience. Once a tool's experience bar is full, take it to Saibara (the blacksmith) along with the required ore (Copper, Silver, Gold, or Mythic) and some money. He will then upgrade your tool, making it more efficient and powerful.

How do I befriend villagers and unlock special events?

Give villagers gifts they like daily. Each villager has preferred items that increase their friendship points more quickly (e.g., flowers for the Harvest Goddess, cucumbers for Kappa, eggs for Popuri). Regularly talking to them also helps. Special events (like heart events for bachelorettes/bachelors, or general town events) often trigger automatically when you enter certain areas at specific times, provided your friendship with the relevant characters is high enough.
