\ \ | | / / \ \| Tools |/ / \ | | / \| __________________________|/ _______________________| | | ________________________| | / |/Your standard tools include the axe, the hammer, the sickle and the | watering can. There are several other tools in the game, but these four | represent a different classification of tools: they are upgradeable. | | Other tools often center around taking care of animals or other extra | activities. These tools are traditionally not upgradeable. | |\ | \___________________________________________________________________________ | | | Upgradeable Tools | | ___________________________________________________________________________| | / |/________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [AXE] _ | Axe | | Purpose: Chopping wood and destroying stumps. | Obtained: Obtained free from Luke (talk to Luke). | Strengthened: Cuts a stump in fewer strikes, and able to cut bigger stumps. | Upgraded: Uses less stamina. | Usage: Face the stump or twig and use; depending on the level of the | axe and the strength of the tree, multiple strikes may be | required. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [HAM] _ | Hammer | | Purpose: Destroying stones and boulders | Obtained: Obtained free from Owen (talk to Owen). | Strengthened: Destroys a stone in fewer strikes, and able to destroy | bigger boulders. | Upgraded: Uses less stamina. | Usage: Face the boulder or stone and use; depending on the level of | the hammer and the strength of the target, multiple strikes | may be required. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [SIC] _ | Sickle | | Purpose: Cutting grass and weeds | Obtained: Purchase from Brownie Ranch (1200G). | Strengthened: Cuts a larger area with one strike. | Upgraded: Uses less stamina. | Usage: Stand amongst the grass or facing the weed/dead plant and | use; depending on the strength of the sickle and the level of | charge you use, more grass/weeds will be cut. Note that | the area cut by the sickle is radially around you, not in | front of you. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [WAT] _ | Watering Can | | Purpose: Waters crops. | Obtained: Obtained during opening sequence (automatically). | Strengthened: Waters larger area with one action. | Upgraded: Uses less stamina, holds more water. | Usage: Stand facing the plant (or plants) you'd like to water and | use; depending on the strength of the watering can and the | level of charge, a larger area (in front of you) will be | watered. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [HOE] _ | Hoe | | Purpose: Tills soil. | Obtained: Obtained during opening sequence (automatically). | Strengthened: Plows more land with one stroke. | Upgraded: Uses less stamina. | Usage: Stand facing the soil you want to till and use; depending on | the strength of the hoe and the level of charge, it will | till more squares of soil in a row. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [FSP] _ | Fishing Pole | | Purpose: Lets you fish in rivers and the ocean. | Obtained: Obtain free from Toby (talk to Toby). | Strengthened: Able to catch bigger/better fish. | Upgraded: Uses less stamina. | Usage: Stand facing the water and use; reel back in when a fish | is caught. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [UPG] _ | Upgrading Tools | | The axe, hammer, sickle, hoe, watering can and fishing pole are all | upgradeable. Once a tool is upgraded, it uses less stamina, operates more | efficiently and requires less usage. | | Leveling up happens two different ways: first of all, tools increase in | "strength" as they are used more often. As a tool is used, it gains the | equivalent of 'experience points', and upon receiving enough experience, | levels up to the next strength of that tool. Higher-strength tools carry | many benefits; a higher-strength watering can is able to water more plants | at a time, while a higher-strength hammer or axe can destroy a stump or | tree in fewer strikes. | | In addition to strengthening tools, you also have the option of upgrading | them. Upgrading can be done once tools have reached higher levels of | strength (for example, the first upgrade is available once the second level | of strength is reached). Upgrading makes tools more efficient: while | stronger tools can perform more work in less actions, upgraded tools | actually use less stamina to do the same amount of work. | | The difference between strengthened tools and upgraded tools is subtle, so | it's best to think about it in this way: strengthened tools save time, but | not energy. While a strengthened axe may be able to destroy a stump in 3 | strikes instead of 6, it consumes as much stamina in those 3 strikes as the | unstrengthened tool did in 6. An upgraded tool saves both time and energy; | it still only takes 3 strikes to break that stump, but those 3 strikes use | less stamina than 6 strikes from the un-upgraded tool. | | Tools can be upgraded in two ways: the Blacksmith Shop will upgrade your | tools for you, or the General Store can sell you upgraded versions of the | tools. The General Store is more expensive, but does not require you to dig | up the ores or to have your tools strengthened. The Blacksmith is less | expensive, but you must first strengthen the tool and dig up the | corresponding ore. | | For more information on upgrade purchase prices, see the Blacksmith section | (search for [ BLA ] without the spaces) or the General Store section | (search for [ SUP ] without the spaces). | |\ | \___________________________________________________________________________ | | | Non-Upgradeable Tools | | ___________________________________________________________________________| | / |/Non-upgradeable tools fall into several categories, but the most common | ones are used to care for the animals. These are items like brushes, | milkers and sheep shears. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [BEL] _ | Bell | | Purpose: Calls the barnyard animals (cows, sheep, goats) to you. | Obtained: Purchase at Brownie Ranch (750G). | Rank Required: * | Usage: Stand anywhere and ring the bell. Animals within a | reasonable range will start to walk towards you. | Notes: This does not need to be used to put animals in the barn; | there is a button that does this automatically. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [BRU] _ | Brush | | Purpose: Increases an animal's affection. | Obtained: Purchase at Brownie Ranch (1200G). | Rank Required: * | Usage: Stand facing the animal you want to brush and use. | Notes: This is the fastest way to increase an animal's affection, | but can only be done once per day. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [MED] _ | Medicine | | Purpose: Cures an animal of illness. | Obtained: Purchase at Brownie Ranch (600G). | Rank Required: * | Usage: Stand facing the animal you want to heal and use. | Notes: It may be best to have one of these on hand; the longer an | animal stays sick, the more its affection drops, and an | animal may get sick on a day when the ranch is closed. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [MLR] _ | Milker | | Purpose: Obtains milk from mature cows. | Obtained: Purchase at Brownie Ranch (1500G). | Rank Required: * | Usage: Stand next to the cow you wish to milk and use; the milk | will replace the milker in your hands. | Notes: Using the shears on a cow will boost their affection. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [SAD] _ | Saddle | | Purpose: Allows you to ride your horse or ostrich. | Obtained: Purchase at Brownie Ranch (2400G). | Rank Required: * * | Usage: Stand facing the horse or ostrich you wish to ride and use; | you will place the saddle on the animal and jump up onto it. | Notes: The same saddle is used for both horses and ostriches. | |\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [SHR] _ | Shears | | Purpose: Shears your sheep's wool. | Obtained: Purchase at Brownie Ranch (1200G). | Rank Required: * | Usage: Stand facing the sheep you wish to shear and use; wool will | replace the shears in your hands. | Notes: Using the shears on a sheep will boost their affection. | |\ | \___________________________________________________________________________ | | | 00 Makers | | ___________________________________________________________________________| | / |/I'm calling these '00 Makers' after their name in Harvest Moon: Back to | Nature, though in this game they're officially just 'Makers'. These devices | reside in the barn and chicken coop and are used to process animal products | (and flax) into more useful products. | | 00 Makers are purchased from the General Store when the corresponding | building is constructed. | _ _ _ _ _ _ | Mayo Maker | | Price: 3000G | Location: Bird Coop | Color: Red | Input: Eggs (Chicken/Duck/Ostrich) | Output: Mayonnaise | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Cheese Maker | | Price: 4200G | Location: Barn | Color: Blue | Input: Milk (Cow/Goat) | Output: Cheese | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | Butter Maker | | Price: 3750G | Location: Barn | Color: Yellow | Input: Milk (Cow/Goat) | Output Butter | _ _ _ _ _ _ | Yarn Maker | | Price: 4500G | Location: Barn | Color: Green | Input: Wool; Silk; Flax | Output Yarn; Thread; Cloth (respectively) | |\ | \___________________________________________________________________________ |_____________________________________________________________________________|
