2- Introduction and e-mail problems and policy
Welcome to the festival FAQ. This FAQ is for all you people who need information
on festivals. If you have any problems regarding the game, please go to the
message board. I am there, even if I don't often post. The upgrade has taken a
while sorry, but I had to fix a few problems with my e-mail (see below).
I have come to the realization that some people are real jerks when it comes to
e-mails. I have received at least five e-mails containing viruses and heck...
even one containing a death threat. Not only that but my in-box is now really
screwed up. And I do mean really screwed up. Now, a lot of mails have no text,
even if the first time that I have read them there was text. Plus, for some
reason a lot of mails that I send are being undeliverable. Yesh...
So, if you have send me a mail and I didn't answer, it is probably because
of those problems or because of a stupid undeliverable mail problem I keep
having heck I used another account to send myself an e-mail and it didn't
go through. I did not ignore you. But please note that my e-mail address
is now invalid. I WILL NOT GO CHECK ANYMORE E-MAILS, I WILL NOT E-MAIL YOU
BACK ANYMORE, sorry for the inconvenience. Please note that if I remembered
your problem and didn't contact you, I have upgraded my FAQ to include your
questions. Please check there.
For those of you who found it funny to send me e-mails containing viruses,
please note that I have refrained to do what some of the members of the
message board told me to do to you. And please do note that if you have time
to send viruses and death threats to people you don't even know... I think
it's time you got a life.
And for all of you who have send me a mail and I didn't answer, please forgive
me again.

3.1 - Legend
This is too help you understand what I am talking about :
name of festival
date
place of the festival
type of festival -> refer to 3.2
prize -> refer to 3.2
screw ups -> refer to 3.2
secrets un-related to festivals -> refer to 3.3
description of the festival
tips for the first year
tips for all other years
other things you should know (if any)
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
3.2 - Important things you have to know
Types of festivals : there are three types of festivals
- DAY : The festival starts at 10:00 AM and ends at 5:59 PM. You can enter
the festival at any time between the time limit. When the festival
is over you are automatically brought back home where it will be
6:00 PM. Zack, the shipper will NOT pick up your shipments that day
so you cannot make any money. But you can still ship things, he will
pick them up the next day and you will get your money. All houses
will be closed, except the sprites and (glitch?)Gotz's house (but
he won't take jobs). Nobody will wander around town and you cannot
enter the place the festival takes place until 10:00 AM.
- NIGHT : The festival starts at 6:00 PM and ends at 11:59 PM. You can enter
the festival at any time between the time limit. When the festival
is over, you will wake up and it will be the next day. Zack, the
shipper will NOT pick up your shipments that day so you cannot make
any money. But you can still ship things, he will pick them up the
next day and you will get your money. All houses will be closed,
except the sprites and (glitch?)Gotz's house (but he won't take
jobs). Nobody will wander around town and you usually cannot enter
the place the festival takes place until 6:00 PM.
- YEAR EVENT : It is less a festival then an yearly event. You either activate
the event by doing something in particular or the event will
start by itself, or you can just skip it entirely. The event
is noted on your calendar. The time limit is different in
each one. Zack WILL ship your stuff and all shops are open as
usual. People will wander the streets so it is your basic day.
- VARIABLE : If one festival has this noted next to the type, it is because
it is either different, or might change because of some reason.
Refer to the OTHER section at the end of the festival's
description.
_ _ _ _
Prizes
- YES : This mean that if the festival is a competition and you win, you will
get something. If "only once" is written next to it, it means
you can only get a prize the first time you win the festivals, all
next contests will yeald no prize. Also noted if you just receive
something after.
- NO : The festival was not a competition, or the competition doesn't give
you anything, no matter how many times you win. Sorry...
_ _ _ _
Screw ups
- YES : This only applies to a competition type festival, and one where the
player's skill (usually pressing A) determines the result of the
contest. If there is a yes, if you saved before the festival, you
can reset and try again.
- NO : All other contests where your skills do not matter. Or simply festivals
that are not contests. NOTE : cow/sheep contests are not screw ups
because it is not skill, the contest is based on the heart level. Plus
unless you saved before Barley picked up your animal for the contest,
resetting will not do anything.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
3.3 - Secrets to use during festivals
These are some tips that you can use to make money or to make your life easier
during festivals. Make sure that you take advantage of them ! "^_^"
1- The horse race money making scheme. (HRM)
Bring your EMPTY basket to the horse race. You can go exchange your medals
prizes if you talk to the mayor. Yes, he sells some pretty nice stuff for
the ladies, but ignore them if you want the big cash. What you need to do
is to fill the basket with broaches. You see, he sells broaches for 18 medals
which equals 900 G each. If you want to make a broach, it cost 1 000 G plus
an ore. So you save 100 G. Plus, one broach sells for 2 000 G. So a basket
full of them will net you 60 000 G with a profit of 33 000 G. All the other
merchandises are not worth it when it comes to profit.
2- The endless fishing trip. (EFT)
Bring your EMPTY basket and your fishing rod. Since you do not waste time
or energy every time you are in a festival or an event (I.E. when the bar
at the bottom of the screen where the date and time is is missing) you can
take advantage of this situation and fish endlessly. Up until you have higher
then level 6 fishing rod, you will not make as mush money then in the horse
races. A basket full of big fishes is 6 000 G. A basket full of pirate
treasures is 300 000 G. A basket full of ancient fossils is 150 000 G. Its
a good way to make big money.... but it will test your patience. WARNING :
if you are going after pirate treasures or ancient fossils, please note that
if you have a cursed or blessed rod, you will mostly catch junk. If you throw
away the junk, your reputation (I.E how the town likes you) will greatly drop.
So be careful, once after doing this, my wife and kid's heart level dropped
from 10 to 7 in one day. This can be fixed by having Carter forgive you in
confession for littering and then, on later days, getting forgiven on
"townspeople don't like me" confession.
3- The easy uncursing. (EU)
Two of the six cursed tools can be uncursed if they are used 255 times.
During a festival or event, time and energy is not spend, meaning that you
can uncurse the axe and the fishing rod during a festival easily and you
won't turn blue. PLEASE NOTE : if you try to raise the level of your tools
during an event or a festival, it won't work. The % of a tool will not rise
when used in those circumstances.
4- The platinum products abuse. (PPA)
Winning the chicken, cow, or sheep contest enables the winning animal to
have golden products (platinum after they spend more then 600 hours outside).
The platinum products mixed with a "maker" will net the highest value for
animal products, excluding the random X grade product. But, you know that
after some time your animals will pass away. The trick is to always enter
in those contests your youngest animal. This way, they will last longer and
more money for you. Also, natural death is random when they reach a certain
age, so if an animal dies and you saved before going to bed, reset, and your
animal will not be dead. That way, you can keep them longer. And if they
start dying a bit too often, even with the load/reload, go sell them. Platinum
animals sell for more then their original buying cost. Not bad.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
3.4 - Before going to a festival
Before going to a festival, there are some things you should know, and things
you should do.
Every festival that is not a yearly event prevents Zack from picking up your
shipments. But, fear not, you can still ship things and still get your money,
Zack will just pick them up the next day and give you your money. So if you
have a field full of sweet potatoes, your sprites can pick them all up and you
will get your money.
(thanks to Marasmus for correcting me)
Please note that evey time I mention that your wife will do something, I mean
any wife except for the Goddess. The Goddess will never be present for
festivals. The only thing she will do in a festival is give you a cake during
the Winter Thanksgiving festival.
Also, for every festival, except the cooking festival, you can enter at any time
as long as it is in the allowed time period. This means that you can go pick up
food in the woods until 3:00 PM and still make it in time to win the horse race.
As I said, the only exception is the cooking festival. Since it is in two parts,
you need to attend the 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM part and then make it back before
5:59 PM.
And please note that time seems to stop when it is a festival day. Some things
that are supposed to happen that day will not happen.
- you cannot get married on a festival day, if you propose to your future
wife one week before a festival, the wedding will occur the day after the
festival
- you cannot get married on a day preceding a festival (not sure if it only
applies for festivals where you need to register one day before or all
festivals)
- animals who are supposed to be born will not be born until the next day
- animals cannot die on festival days (well not in my case, not 100 % sure)
- your wife will not give birth, even if she was supposed to (not sure)
- your child will not grow up (your child gets hurt and you need to bring
him to the clinic) (not sure)
- no typhoon or storm will happen (not sure)
Note that you can miss a festival completely if :
- one of your rivals gets married and invites you
- your wife gives birth (not sure, see above too)
- your child grows up (not sure, see above too)

3.5 - Spring festivals
_ _ _ _
-New Year
-date : Spring 1
-place : at rose square
-type : night
-prize : yes, rice cakes
-screw up : no
-secrets : EU
-description : After talking to the mayor, you will be asked if you want to
start the festival. Say yes and you will eat some rice cakes.
The festival will end, and you will get some rice cakes to
take home.
-first year : Sorry, you can't go because you start the game on Spring 2

rice cakes. Great for gifts.
_ _ _ _
-Spring Thanksgiving
-date : Spring 14
-place : n/a
-type : year event
-prize : no
-screw up : no
-secrets : none
-description : You need to bake cookies for the girls. Usually you only
need to give some to the girls who gave you gifts at
the Winter Thanksgiving, but you can give some to all.
It raises their heart level.
-first year : Sorry, unless you cheat, it is impossible to make cookies at
this point.
-next years : Just make sure she gets the cookies. But try to figure out
her schedule so you don't spend hours looking for the girl.
Karen is hard to find sometimes.
-other : All the girls will loves the cookies (minus the Goddess). This
is the only time Karen will love sweets. Here are the recipes for
cookies.
STEP 1 : BUTTER - milk(any) / mixer
STEP 2a : COOKIES - flour + egg(any) + butter / rolling pin +
oven + sugar (extras : honey)
STEP 2b : CHOCOLATE COOKIES - flour + egg(any) + butter +
chocolate / rolling pin + oven + sugar (extras : honey)

-Horse Race
-date : Spring 18
-place : at rose square
-type : day
-prize : yes, only once : power berry
(note if you win the Spring one, you cannot get another
power berry in Fall, and vice-versa)
-screw up : yes
-secrets : HRM / EU
-description : Place bets on horses, win medals, buy some neat stuff...
Oh and once you have an adult horse, you can enter the
races. You will be in the third one.
-first year : Sorry, your horse will not be big yet. So all you can
do is bet. The trick is to bet on the one with the lowest
payout. That's the one who wins 90 % of the time.
-next years : Same as the first year, but this time you will race. To race,
all you need to do is to press A to give the horse a boost.
The horse will run at a set speed, and all you need to do is
tell him to go faster. But as you press A his stamina will
go down. His heart bubble will switch from green (high stamina)
to yellow (a bit tired) to red (no possible acceleration). If
you stop pressing A he will regain energy. Save before the first
time so you can try again to get the gist of it. The higher his
heart level towards you, the longer he can last.
-other : Once you know how to win, only bet on YOUR horse. Best way to get
easy medals. For item list, refer to section 5.

-Cooking Contest
-date : Spring 22
-place : at rose square
-type : day, variable
-prize : no
-screw up : yes
-secrets : EU
-description : Talk to the gourmet guy and he will tell you what the category
for the contest is. After that, exit the square, you will be
home. Prepare the food, go back to the square, give the food
to the mayor and the game will start.
-first year : It is actually possible to participate in the first year if you
buy grape juice from the winery but you will not get a good score.
-next years : Make sure you have all the required ingredients a day or two
prior to the competition. In the first five years, the categories
are pre-set. After the fifth year, you can always reset if you
don't like the category.
-other : The first part of the festival is from 10:00 AM to 11:59 PM
This is where the gourmet guy will tell you the category. You will
return home at 12:00 PM and will have to return before 5:59 PM.

3.6 - Summer festivals
_ _ _ _
-Beach day (aka Dog race)
-date : Summer 1
-place : at the beach
-type : day
-prize : yes, only once : power berry
-screw up : yes
-secrets : EFT / EU
-description : The day before, Zack will come register your adult dog, and
will bring it with him. Its a frisbee competition. You have
two throws to ace so that your dog can win the game.
-first year : Sorry, but your dog will not be big enough
-next years : Once he grows up in the first fall, go buy a frisbee from Won
and bring your dog to the beach everyday so he can practice
and raise his green bar. After winter is finish, you can go
back in the spring. Depending on how you practiced, it might
be difficult to win the second year.
-other : You need to ace the two shots. From personal experience : if you
miss one and get a very very long distance in the second one, you
won't win. But, according to someone on the net, my information
isn't true. You can still win even if you mess up the first or
second try. Needs confirmation. Oh and on a side note, you do not
need to have the frisbee in your inventory to participate and you
do not need to bring it.

-Chicken festival
-date : Summer 7
-place : at rose square
-type : day
-prize : yes, winner lays golden eggs if 8 hearts or more
(after 600+ hours outside : platinum)
-screw up : yes
-secrets : EU / PPA
-description : The day before, Rick will come register a chicken and will
bring it with him. Your chicken will have to battle against
one chicken each round, for three rounds. You need to press
the A button to scare the other chicken out of the ring, while
preventing the chicken to do the same to you.
-first year : You can participate as long as you have a chicken. Do not press
A as soon as the game starts, wait for the other chicken to cluck
and he will advance on you (but he won't scare you). After he
advances start pressing A to scare him (he will have a "!"
balloon). Just keep pressing A and you should be fine. But if the
other chicken is gaining on you, stop pressing A and time
your A smashing so that you scare him and not vice versa. For
some reason, I find the first round always more difficult.
-next years : Same as before.
-other : WARNING : the chicken returns IN the coop, don't forget to feed it
or take it outside.
_ _ _ _
-Cow festival
-date : Summer 20
-place : at rose square

that is not pregnant. The next day, people will judge your
cow and after you talk to Barley again, the festival will
end. If you win, you will see a scene indicating it.
-first year : I do not think it is possible to have enough hearts to win,
but you can try your luck.
-next years : Choose the cow with the most hearts. Usually with 8-10 hearts,
that cow will win.
-other : The higher the hearts, the better the chances. WARNING : the cow
will be returned after the festival INSIDE the barn. Don't forget
to feed it or to put it outside. You can also milk her now.
_ _ _ _
-Fireworks festival
-date : Summer 24
-place : at the beach
-type : night, variable
-prize : no
-screw up : no

option of watching the fireworks with her.

the fireworks with your wife after you talk to her.

if you want to participate in the music festival. Say yes
an the next day, if you go to the church, you will play
the ocarina with Mary on the organ, Karen on vocals, and

-Harvest festival

-screw up : no
-secrets : EU
-description : The day before, the mayor will come and invite you to this
festival. All you need to do is bring a piece of food to
the square the next day and talk to the mayor again.
-first year : Just bring any kind of food, it doesn't matter.
-next years : See above.
-other : Just for fun, there are two things that can happen. If you bring
any normal food, you will have a bubble where the word "GOOD !" will
appear and the townspeople will be pleased with the food. But if
you bring something like a poison mushroom or a red herb.... after
eating, the scene will flash and you will faint, and everybody will
have funny comments on the stew.

-Sheep festival
-date : Fall 21
-place : at rose square
-type : day
-prize : yes, sheep gives golden wool if more than 8 hearts
(after 600+ hours outside gives platinum)
-screw up : no
-secrets : EU / PPA
-description : A day before Barley will come register a healthy, adult sheep
that is not pregnant and must still have her wool. The next day,
people will judge your sheep and after you talk to Barley again,
the festival will end. If you win, you will see a scene
indicating it.
-first year : If you bought the sheep early in spring you have a good chance of
having more or less eight hearts for the festival. Just keep it
outside, keep brushing and talking to it, and go to the
confessional at the church from 1:00 PM to 3:59 PM on Mondays,
Wednesday, and any rainy day. At the confessional, save your game,
enter the left door and choose one of the two confessions that
talk about cruelty towards animals. If Carter tells you that all
is forgiven, your animals will love you more (not always visible,
but once two cows and three chickens had one extra heart after the
confession). If he gives you a negative response, just reload and
try again.
-next years : Choose the sheep with the most hearts. Usually with 8-10 hearts,
that sheep will win.
-other : The sheep must have her wool. This means that you have to time yourself
so that her wool has grown back the day before the actual festival.
The higher the hearts, the better the chances. WARNING : the sheep
will be returned after the festival INSIDE the barn. Don't forget
to feed it or to put it outside. You can also cut her wool now.

to go get him something. He will come back at 7:00 PM and
you will have to give it to him.
-first year : Be sure that it will not snow on this day or the event will
not activate. Do not forget to save a day before so that this
way, if he asks for something hard to get, you can reset. The
best things to accept are black grass, white grass, and the rice
cake. The grasses are easy to find and the rice cake is not worth
anything but it might be hard to get. Unless you have a rice cake
go for the black grass, since it is worth only 10 G.
-next years : Ditto
-other : He will ask for one of the following :
-AEPFE apple (buy from Won when he comes to your house, or recipe)
-Black grass (dig in any mine on any floor, quite common)
-Bracelet (make at blacksmith)
-Diamond (stones in floors that end in 0 after 10 in Winter mine)
-Golden egg (winning chicken with 8+ hearts and less then 600 hours
outside)

-next years : If you are married, she won't give the cake to you during the day.

wife will say something about not waking you up. Check your
rucksack, you will have a cake with you. Also, once you are
married, no other girls but your wife will give you sweets. Ditto
if the girl is married (I think). This applies to the Goddess

4- Cooking festival
4.1- Categories
When you first enter the cooking festival between 10:00 AM and 11:59 PM (noon)
talk to the gourmet guy. He will tell you what the category for the year is.
After learning the category, exit the festival and you will be back home at
12:00 PM. Now you have until 5:59 PM to make your food and bring it back to
the festival. Take the food out and give it to the mayor.
There are five categories for the cooking festival. At first, all categories
are linked to a certain year. But after the fifth year, those categories become
random.
Below is a list of what is accepted and rejected in the competition. Please note
that if it is not written it probably means it is not accepted. The rejected
section is only there for confusing foods that are unclear as if they belong
in the category.
1st year : Juices
Accepted : All juices (both fruits and vegetables), all lattes, relaxation tea
Rejected : n/a at the moment
Unconfirmed : Hot milk, strawberry milk
Please note that wine, bodigizers, turbojolts and milk are not considered food
so you cannot even enter them in the contest.
-
2nd year : Deserts
Accepted : Cakes (chocolate, normal, cheese), cookies, any pudding, apple pie,
ice cream, apple soufflé, pancakes, moon dumplings
Rejected : French toast
-
3rd year : Bread
Accepted : Anything that contains bread EXCEPT...
Rejected : Cheese fondue (for some reason, it contains bread, but it doesn't
work)
-
4th year : Noodles
Accepted : Anything that contains noodles (including noodles w/tempura)
EXCEPT...
Rejected : Anything made with buckwheat noodles (apparently, they are
not noodles)
-
5th year : Rice
Accepted : <something> rice (not sure if omelet rice is ok)
Rejected : n/a at the moment
Unconfirmed : sushi, toasted rice balls, roasted rice cakes, rice gruel, eggs
over rice, omelet rice, rice cakes
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
4.2- The judging
As a basic rule, if you don't participate or if you get disqualify, the winner
will be chosen at random between Doug, Ann, Lilia, and Manna (Karen and her...
umm...black stuff will never win...).
But if you participate, you can get one of six judgement. The scene will
flash and he will either :
- the scene stays the same and he has an angry bubble and tells you that
you are disqualify because it is the wrong category
- the scene switches to a snowy mountain and he tells you that the food
is bad. You should keep your day job, your cooking is awful... almost
Karen-like.
- the scene stays the same and he tells you it is very homemade (see below)
- the scene switches to a rainy mountain and he tells you that it's good
but something is missing (see below)
- the scene switches to the mountains and he tells you that you are good.
You have a pretty good chance of winning.
- the scene switches to shooting stars. You have 100 % chances of winning.
PLEASE NOTE : When the scene stays the same and he tells you that it is
very homemade, I never win. But I do not know if it is impossible to win
or if you are put in the random choosing with the four others participants.
Ditto for the rainy mountain scene.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
4.3- Tips for the cooking festival
1- The more food you can add in a recipe, the more chances you have to
win. For example, its almost impossible to win with jam bread, but
with a sandwich, its easier. But this also means that for some
categories, you can only easily win with one recipe.
2- You should start collecting food for the contest a year before. I mean
if you want to do a recipe that needs mushrooms, you will need to get
them in fall. Anticipate people !
3- DON'T FORGET, you don't win anything in this contest. So don't worry
if you lose. (In the girl version, if you want to marry the Gourmet,
you need to have won all five categories. But then, the girl version
isn't out here yet... and who would want to marry the Gourmet? Uhh,
I'm getting shivers just thinking sbout it)

5- Horse race prizes
5.1- List
Here is the list of all the things you can exchange at the horse races.
Please note that one medal costs 50 G and that you can only get them if
you bet on a horse and win. If you have a lot of money to spare, note
that you can bet on more then one horse. And one last trick is that if
you know how to win, save before entering the horse races. Do not bet
until it is your horse that is racing. Put 99 on your horse, and its
easy medals. Once got 5940 medals because my horse had a payout of 60.
-Jewel of truth - 1 000 medals (note, can only buy once)
- collect 9 and you will get a stone that shows your
strength and fatigue
-Power berry - 900 medals (note, can only buy once)
- raises your energy levels
-Dress - 250 medals (note, only after buying the jewel of truth)
- gift for the girls
-Perfume - 150 medals (note, only after buying the power berry)
- gift for the girls
-Facial pack - 42 medals
- gift for the girls
-Skin lotion - 35 medals
- gift for the girls
-Sunblock - 30 medals
- gift for the girls
-Necklace - 20 medals
- gift for the girls
- sell for 2 000 G
-Broach - 18 medals
- gift for the girls
- sell for 2 000 G
-Diamond - 14 medals
- sell for 100 G
-Truffle - 10 medals
- can be used for cooking
- sell for 500 G
-Adamantite - 4 medals
- used to make "makers"
- sell for 50 G
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
5.2- Item analysis
Jewel of truth - 1000 medals = 50 000 G
MY THOUGHTS : Buy it after you have a cabinet so you can keep it in. It
should be bought but it is not a high priority.
Power berry - 900 medals = 45 000 G
MY THOUGHTS : Buy it ASAP. You can't say no to raising your energy level.
Dress - 250 medals = 12 500 G
MY THOUGHTS : If you want to give it to a girl. Real expensive though.
Perfume - 150 medals = 7 500 G
MY THOUGHTS : If you want to give it to a girl. Real expensive though.
Facial pack - 42 medals = 2 100 G
MY THOUGHTS : If you want to give it to a girl.
Skin lotion - 35 medals = 1 750 G
MY THOUGHTS : If you want to give it to a girl.
Sunblock - 30 medals = 1 500 G
MY THOUGHTS : If you want to give it to a girl.
Necklace - 20 medals = 1 000 G
MY THOUGHTS : Well, you can make 60 000 G if you ship a basket full of them
but you will also only make 30 000 G of profit. Its better to
stick with broaches to make big money.
Broach - 18 medals = 900 G
MY THOUGHTS : You can make 60 000 G if you ship a basket full of them. And this
will give you a profit of 33 000 G. Best moneymaker of the races.
Diamond - 14 medals = 700 G
MY THOUGHTS : A diamond sell for 100 G so if you buy it to sell it, you will
lose 600 G. Some girls really like diamonds, but there are a
lot of less expensive gifts for her. Bottom line, if you want
diamonds wait until winter and go in the winter mine floor 10.
Truffle - 10 medals = 500 G
MY THOUGHTS : Since a truffle sells for 500 G, you will make a profit of zero.
There is no need to go buy them here. If you need to ship
truffles, just become good friends with Carter and he will let
you in the backdoor so you can pick some in fall. You can also
find some near the lake in the forest. Just have a level 6
hammer or better and smash the big stone (or SONE if you prefer)
and continue down the path (only in fall).
Adamantite - 4 medals = 200 G
MY THOUGHTS : Well, adamantite only sells for 50 G. Not only that but its not
so hard to find. Spring mine, below level 10. Bottom line, buying
adamantite is a waste of money.

6- FAQ
_ _ _ _
Q : How do I get the relaxation tea leaves for the relaxation tea recipe to
win in the contest ?
A : 1- Win 10-14 times in a row in the Goddess New Year's TV game
2- Keep giving offerings to the Goddess until she asks you who
you like. Choose her (or already be married) and she will
give some to you.
3- Be good friends with the harvest sprites and they will invite
you to a tea party in Spring. They will give some to you after.
4- Recipe = blue grass + yellow grass + orange grass + purple grass +
red grass + indigo grass + green grass + weed / knife +
frying pan
Q : How do you play the frisbee with your dog ?
A : You don't play with the frisbee the same way as with the ball. To
play frisbee, you must have an adult dog and the frisbee. Have the
frisbee in your inventory and carry your dog to the beach in any
season except winter. If your dog is on the beach (in your arms or
on the floor), go read the sign where the frisbee rules are explained.
The game will ask you if you want to play frisbee. Say yes.
Q : HELP!!! I'm stuck with the frisbee/ball/stuff from the girls!!!
A : First of all, calm down, you can get rid of them. You can put them
in your cabinet. To get the cabinet, upgrade your house at least
once and the cabinet will start to appear on the shopping channel
on Saturdays.
Q : Where can I find all the grasses ?
A : All grasses can be obtained at random from the Goddess game show if
you win 2 times
Blue - Spring, forest : near Gotz's house (2), forest : near Goddess
pond (1)
Green - Summer, Fall, forest : near Goddess pond (1), forest : near
Kappa pond (2)
Red - Summer, Fall, next to the Church (1), forest : near Gotz's house

7- Legal
This faq belong to me, Taiga. Up to now, the only site that hosts this
is supposed to be
www.gamefaqs.com
So if you are reading this, and it is not on this site...
Well, basically I don't care, as long as it is not used for money. Sure
I'll be pissed and would like to know. But I don't care a lot, but it
sure says a lot about whoever took it.
Bah, anyway, what goes around, comes around.
