You have one year to turn things around!! Is fortune smiling upon you? The spirit of 
the abandoned farm just outside town has chosen you to restore its lost prosperity. 
Now it's a matter of hard work,a few tears,and a little luck. The days may be long, 
but you'll have plenty of company from your neighbors and animal friends. The spirit 
promised to return in a year to check up on you, so you'd better roll up your 
sleeves. See if you have what it takes to be a successful farmer. 


                          * Animals *

 

  
Dog and Cat
You get to pick which of these you want at the very beginning of the game. Take them 
outside on nice days and bring them in when it rains, an they will sometimes do 
thing for you. the dog will guard animals you leave overnight in the pasture, and 
the cat may drag useful items home.

 
Horse
You don't get your horse until the 10th of Spring, but after he grows up he'll be a 
big help around the farm. You can buy saddlebags and then ride him and use him as a 
portable shipping bin. Don't forget to brush and ride it daily to keep it happy. 

 
Cow
Cows are by far the most profitable, and you can have up to 4. Just remember to 
feed, brush, milk, and talk to them everyday to keep them smiling. You must have 
grass fields before you can buy any though. 
Cow Cost - 5000 G 
Small Milk Price - 150 G 
Large Milk Price - 300 G 
Cheese Price - 500 G 
Butter Price - 500 G 

 
Chicken
Chickens are by far the easiest to raise, and you can have up to 4. Just remember to 
feed them everyday and then collect the eggs. The easiest way to get them is to just 
buy one and raise the rest from eggs. You must have grass fields before you can buy 
any though. 
Chicken Cost - 1000 G

                                   * Energy/Stamina *



This is like the SNES game. All Harvest Moon games basically have the energy system, 
but I only know how many stamina points the things give you in these two games! So 
if you are feeling tired during your game, try a few of these things!

Item Stamina Points 
Meat Dumpling 10 points 
Rice Ball 20 points 
Croissant 30 points 
Cake 25% of your power!!! 
Lunch 50% of your power!!! 
Milk 10 points 
Green Tea 20 points 
Wild Grape Juice 30 points 
Apple Juice 50% of your power!!! 
Orange Juice 100%! All of your power! 
Swim in the Hot Spring 20% of your points each time(so you can jump in and out!) 



It is easiest to instead of buying apple juice or orange juice and cakes which are 
expensive, just jump in and out of the hot springs 5-6 times! 



                                  * Tips/Tricks *

Harvest Moon GB Tips


There are a quite a few tips/tricks, so let's get on with them! 


When you are entering your name, depending on how you enter it, you will get to 
plant certain crops!
1)Capitalize the first letter in your name to grow Eggplants and Carrots
2)Make the first letter in your name lowercase to grow Peanuts and Broccoli
3)Make the first character in your name a heart or any other symbol to grow all four 
crops!


During the fall, if you have a lot of money from summer, go to the restaraunt and 
buy a lot of food so that you don't have to worry about buying it for a while!

During the summer, try to get at least one cow.

Try to clear your field during the first spring, it won't take long and you won't 
have to worry about weeds or anything else for a long long time.(and if you have the 
farm cleared it'll raise your farming stats at the end of the year.)

Try to plant at least 8 fields of grass before fall(so you can get a cow and have a 
lot of fodder for Winter).

When you buy a chicken, buy only one, then just breed it. Breed your chicken until 
you have four, and occasionally sell one and breed another.

Take your cow outside at least once every few days(ON NICE DAYS) before it is an 
adult so that it will give a larger size milk when it becomes an adult.

Give the harvest sprites under your tool shed a mushroom a day, good things will 
come from it!



Those are all the tips I have so far, if you other ones please E-Mail Me them!
