Harvest Moon DS

Use your milker again and again inside any building, restoring your Energy as necessary with Medicines or food until you reach Level 1 with the Milker, then use it 99 more times in quick succession in order to be able to obtain 99 bottles of milk each time you milk your cow. Not only will this increase your income enormously, but shipping the milk will rescue a number of Sprites!

In both later U.S. versions of the game as well as the U.K. version, the Ranch Bonus has been removed. Moreover, the level of both milker and clippers will increase very slowly. You no longer can go from Level 1 - Level 100 in 99 uses.

One should pass their milk through the cheese maker to greatly increase their gold. By having 4 cows, and getting 100 milk from each one per day, and converting all that milk to cheese, you will amass over 100,000 gold per day!

If you are dating Flora and you have seen her black and purple heart events get ready for the blue one. On her blue event both you and her will find a hot spring and she will have Gotz make you one from it out of the earth.

This is the 1st hot springs and it is right beside the circus grounds. Go there whenever you would like to reduce your fatigue to even maybe nothing.

Do the following each day to ensure the health of your animals. Keep in mind that dogs and cats are always healthy and don't need any of the attention listed below.

Chicken - Pet, feed, and hold them
Cow - Pet, talk, brush, milk, and feed them
Duck - Pet, feed, and hold them
Horse - Pet, talk, brush, and feed them
Sheep - Pet, talk, brush, sheer, and feed them

If you inspect your dog's house at 4:44 a.m., the Witch Princess will appear and teleport you to the mine site. A battle mini-game adjacent to some of the girls you can marry will begin. Win the mini-game and the Witch Princess will give you a diploma and the title of "Battle Master".

After you got to the 255th floor of the middle class mines and got the sword of legend from the princess, you can go to the cave behind the waterfall. To do this you have to the sword equip, and then go to either rock by the waterfall and examine it by pressing A. After the little cut scene is over and the has rock have been destroyed, you can enter the cave. In the cave you will find a 12x9 field and like all in door areas, the time will have stopped.

Have the Game Boy Advance game Harvest Moon: Friends Of Mineral Town or Harvest Moon: More Friends Of Mineral Town in the cartridge slot for characters from the corresponding game to appear in Harvest Moon DS.

Have the rucksack open on the bottom screen. Not only have the brush and glove equipped, but the slot in your rucksack immediately next to the equipped tool space should be either the milker or the shears. When you have a sheep ready to be shorn or a cow ready to be milked, wash with the brush and touch glove BEFORE milking or shearing, and before petting.

Now wash your animal. When done, use your STYLUS to hit the BACK key. With your stylus, quickly move the milker or shears to the equipped spot. 7 out of 10 times I have done this, there is now either wool or milk in my hands, and then I have still been allowed to shear my sheep or milk my cow and get double product from the animal for that day.

To change the next day's weather, reload the previous day and go to bed. This works best if you save before you go to bed and check the weather the first thing in the morning so you do not loose any work. It may also require a few attempts. You can also avoid a collapsing building or animal death by doing this.

This trick requires some patience and a good amount of money. Having the Miracle Gloves also is recommended. Call up either of the livestock farms and buy as much fodder/feed as you can afford, usually in amounts of 99 each. Sell all of them, which is easy with the Miracle Gloves equipped. The Sprites require the following numbers to be unlocked. Note: All the sprites unlocked are part of the harvest team.

Paddy: About 500 items sold.
Fraw: About 1000 items sold.
Ridge: About 5000 items sold.
Ali: About 10,000 items sold.
Cady: About 30,000 items sold.

This is a simple way to clear ALL monsters that are on the floor you are currently on. You merely need to save your game once inside the floor you wish cleared, then proceed to shut your DS off. Turn it back on and load your save game, and voila! All of the monsters on that floor have been defeated and you can continue to mine without any pests. Of course on the next floor you proceed to there will be another new set of monsters, but you may repeat the process if you want.

When you first reach any floor of the Mine, if you did not go too far (in falling), save your game immediately. Defeat all the Dark Creatures and save again. Now, smash all rocks and uncover all squares with your hoe to find special items, but DO NOT SAVE.

When you find any special item, reload your game without saving and go directly to the location of the special item and collect it. Now save your game. Do this again and again until all special items on the floor are found.

WARNING: Always save your game on any floor of the mine before you move at all, as you may fall through a hole in the floor and go too far. Do not walk in the mine if your energy level is at zero. If you fall through a hole, you will pass out as soon as you reach the next floor. It's another reason to save your game immediately.
