It was inspired by Sky Render's guide, in which he describes most of the mechanics behind the game. I'll assume that you've read that document in detail. I highly recommend playing through the game normally before trying this walkthrough. First-time players would probably find this style of play much too tedious. Sky Render's faq has a nice selection of three separate walkthroughs tailored for different levels of play. ============ 3.0 - BASICS ============ ----------------------- 3.1 - Fatigue Mechanics ----------------------- There are four variables that affect how quickly fatigue increases: time of day, rain/sunshine, whether stamina is equal to 0, and whether you have the Mystic Berry. Let F be fatigue and let S be stamina. F += x means that F goes up by x points per tool use. Mystic Berry: No Sunny, before 10pm, S > 0: F += 0 Sunny, before 10pm, S = 0: F += 2 Sunny, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S > 0: F += 1 Sunny, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S = 0: F += 3 Sunny, after 12am, S > 0: F += 2 Sunny, after 12am, S = 0: F += 4 Rainy, before 10pm, S > 0: F += 1 Rainy, before 10pm, S = 0: F += 3 Rainy, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S > 0: F += 2 Rainy, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S = 0: F += 4 Rainy, after 12am, S > 0: F += 3 Rainy, after 12am, S = 0: F += 5 Mystic Berry: Yes Sunny, before 10pm, S > 0: F += 0 Sunny, before 10pm, S = 0: F += 1 Sunny, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S > 0: F += 0 Sunny, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S = 0: F += 1 Sunny, after 12am, S > 0: F += 1 Sunny, after 12am, S = 0: F += 2 Rainy, before 10pm, S > 0: F += 0 Rainy, before 10pm, S = 0: F += 1 Rainy, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S > 0: F += 1 Rainy, from 10pm to 11:59pm, S = 0: F += 2 Rainy, after 12am, S > 0: F += 1 Rainy, after 12am, S = 0: F += 2 There is also an increase of fatigue at 12am, 2am, 4am, and 6am (if you don't go to bed). Note that you will "nap" if you sit there and do nothing for a while. If you are not napping, F increases by 3 at 12am, 2am, and 4am. This means you can pass out just by running around, or standing, if your fatigue is 97-99 at those times. If you are napping, F will not increase at those times. At 6am, F increases by 10 if you are napping, or 20 if you are not. Note that you won't pass out even if your fatigue is very high before 6am, because your morning meal decreases F by 1. ----------------------- 3.2 - Mining Techniques ----------------------- ----------------------------------- 3.2.1 - Waterfall Mine (pre-Basket) ----------------------------------- You'll need to use this technique for the first couple days until you can afford the Basket. The mine has 10 floors. Here are the possible items you can dig up with one strike of the hoe: 10 G (credited instantly) Junk Ore (value: 1 G) Copper (value: 15 G) Silver (value: 20 G) Gold (value: 25 G) Mystrile (value: 40 G) You may also uncover the hole leading to the next floor down, or you may find nothing. Note that you won't get any money for the ore you ship until Zack picks it up. Each floor of the mine has 10 x 10 = 100 squares. The squares on the edge never have anything, so don't dig there. That leaves you 8 x 8 = 64 squares. Just stay on the first floor when digging for 10 G pieces. Throw away any Copper pieces you get, unless you have room in your rucksack and know that you won't need to pick up anything else before visiting one of your shipping bins. ------------------------------------ 3.2.2 - Waterfall Mine (post-Basket) ------------------------------------ Basically you'll want to dig down to the sixth floor as quickly as possible. That's where Mystrile starts appearing. You won't find anything within two squares of the ladders, which reduces the area you can find ore from 64 squares to between 39 and 55 squares. You should always dig around the edge (one square from the real edge) until you find the hole to the next floor. That will give you more room on the following floor. Toss any Silver, Gold, or Mystrile you find into the basket. Before you get the Mystic Berry, put Copper in your rucksack until it fills up. Then throw every third or fourth Copper you find into your basket. I recommend mining until F=80. If your basket fills up before that point, keep digging and replace the Copper in your rucksack with better ores you find. Once you have the Mystic Berry, you can fit in two mine trips before you need to rest in the spring. On the first trip, fill your rucksack with Copper, and throw any other Coppers you find into the basket. Once the basket is full, ship the accumulated ore. For the second trip, do the same thing, but once the basket is full, replace the Copper in the rucksack with better ore. Mine until F=65, then rest in the spring for 65 minutes to be fully energized. You can make almost 2000 G for each set of two trips that way. ================== 4.0 - SEASON GUIDE ================== You may find this easier to do with an emulator. Most of the research I did for this walkthrough was using an emulator. The main thing I used it for was saving right before I went to bed so I could reload if I didn't get the desired weather forecast. Without an emulator, you'll have to redo a whole days work if you don't get the right forecast, or use codes to control the weather. I didn't use the emulator save states for anything nefarious like getting all mystriles during mining trips. So everything I've done here should be doable in the real game. The first few days will be more detailed until you get your feet wet. Again I'm assuming you've played this game before so you know what you are doing. If you find anything ambiguous or unclear, please email me. ------------ 4.1 - Spring ------------ We'll largely be ignoring festivals and girls this season while we try to maximize our profits. It can wait until later. Winter is a good time for dating. There are two ways to get rid of weeds: pull them or cut them with the sickle. Sometimes you'll want to use the sickle to build it up; other times you'll want to pull the weeds to save stamina. I'll be specific about which method you should use. Always keep all your animals inside.

The 16x Turnip Seeds should be planted on the left side. Don't worry about the four groups of turnips under the cabbage groups for now. You'll notice that the cucumbers are arranged in Sky Render's patchworks pattern. We'll be using this pattern for renewable crops in later seasons as well. A note about the grass, which you'll plant later. There are six big columns of grass, plus a 3x12 group in the lower right corner. This grass pattern is designed to yield enough to feed 20 animals continuously, but still leave the maximum amount of room for crops in future seasons. The columns may seem a bit wasteful, since one bag of seed will only make three squares of grass, but it pays off in the long run with the extra money you make from having more crop space.
