Harvest Moon ParadiseThe Hawker is a wandering peddler who appears on your farm from time to time to sell or swap goods. There is a considerable amount of misinformation and confusion regarding this character in various online sources. None of the Hawker's three appearances have anything to do with one another, so you can ignore any source that tells to accept one deal or else you will not be offered another. There is nothing mysterious or random to this fellow at all. His actions depend entirely on the season and year. Note that every one of the Hawker's offerings is unique and cannot be acquired by other means in the game.
In other words, if you decline any of his trades, you permanently miss out on the item. In the case of the Power Berry, this means you can never get the best ending. Below is a complete list of all the times this character will appear. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | | When does | | | Event | it occur? | Description | |---------------------+---------------+--------------------------------------| | Exchanges Power | Fall of Year | When you try to sell a chicken to | | Berry for Chicken | 1 or 2 | the livestock dealer in the fall, | | | | the Hawker will appear and ask to | | | | make the trade.
