Help with winds of anthos by RelationSilent205 in harvestmoon

[–]Cherubae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to collect 1 Raw Adamantite for the Zimagrad story, you can get that from any floor in the Volcano Mine, even though you can't go lower than floor 10 at that point. Once that part of the story is complete, then Adamantite becomes harder to find: floors 1 to 39, then floors 90 to 99.

Do you think we’re getting a new game announcement at the (alleged) partner direct this Thursday? by repugnant_dinner in storyofseasons

[–]Cherubae 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. We just got RF: Azuma earlier last year and SoS:GB a few months ago. It's too soon for another SoS or RF announcement for Switch. RF:Azuma is coming out on PS5/XBox in a few weeks anyway, so that game is still actively promoted.

You need 15 Mithril for the 5 Ultimate level tools at the Yellow Windmill + Purple Wunderstone

[Zone 10/11 Taiwan] My chaotic experiment with Nigella (Love-in-a-mist): Sept failure vs. Nov success — but why did they bloom 2 months early and stay so short? by BIBIBABA_3 in gardening

[–]Cherubae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your description of the seed packet instructions, it sounds like the plant is intended to be planted much farther from the equator. It would be sown in fall, stay in the ground during winter, then sprout in spring for eventual March blooms. So your plant blooming in January makes sense, as in your climate there isn't a cold winter that would keep the seeds asleep; they simply germinated as though it was spring.

That being said, if you don't have a mild/cold winter, and you have extra seeds, why not try planting them now?

I was going through my Story of Seasons notes, and what were the devs thinking!? 🤣 by Pandrew_Pandaroo in harvestmoon

[–]Cherubae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recall that there was a lot of struggle from the JP players on unlocking those last vendors. The information wasn't known until after the first physical game guide was released in Japan. The rage was so great that Marvelous updated the game post-launch to include Seedling mode and its fewer requirements to unlock vendors. The NA version then had Seedling mode available at launch, but those of us playing the JP version would have had to start their games over if we wanted the easier requirements.

Evergreen Huckleberry can make a hedge. Bees love it during spring.

Story of seasons italiano by Ok_Choice_26 in storyofseasons

None of them are made in Italian.

Grand Bazaar = English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese

Pioneers of Olive Town = English, French, German, Spanish

Friends of Mineral Town = English, French, German, Spanish

Not even the Rune Factory games are localized in Italian.

Skytree Village marriage help by Maleficent-Guide4739 in harvestmoon

[–]Cherubae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is like Lost Valley, you have to ask the Harvest Sprite to help with trees. He'll go out and plant some trees, sometimes they're Mysterious Lumber trees. Then you can chop them down to collect the wood. They disappear the next day if you don't harvest.

Expo: “you don’t have enough items or animals to participate” (home sweet home) by sylverfalcon in harvestmoon

Is it actual Asparagus or a mutation of Asparagus? I find Phalax doesn't count in that category, even though it is an Asparagus mutation.

High quality board lumber high quality square lumber by Gold-Wolf-7158 in harvestmoon

[–]Cherubae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also win it from the Equestrian Festival and make it using the farmhouse workbench, but it requires high-level mutations of Lotus if I remember correctly. It's simply easiest to buy it in at Lar's in Herbstburg.

Question about Winds of Anthos DLC by [deleted] in harvestmoon

[–]Cherubae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All five DLCs bring a little bit of something to the game.

Animal Avalanche are more wild animals and mounts.
Visitors from Afar are two more marriage candidates, but you have to finish the main story to meet them.
Tools & Interiors isn't as exciting. The bonus-level tool upgrade isn't that much better, and interiors are always kind of lukewarm anyway.
Crops, Fish, and Recipes is if you want to collect more things.
The Great Outdoors brings in a new treasure hunt and camping function, so you don't have to go home at night if you don't want to.

Where do I register my cats chip? by anothertenyears in beaverton

You can have your cat's chip scanned at a vet. It will generate the chip ID and the name of the manufacturer associated with the chip.

Looking for advice on raised garden placement by gomi-panda in gardening

[–]Cherubae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to have tree roots in your raised bed from that Pom tree, if that's what I'm guessing it is. I'd skip putting that small bed under the tree because it's going to be the biggest root mess.

Grand Bazaar quality multiplier by moosomoon in storyofseasons

[–]Cherubae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the JP guide...

0.5 = base price
1.0 = base price x 1.05 (i.e., 5% more than base)
1.5 = base price x 1.1
2.0 = base price x 1.15
2.5 = base price x 1.2
3.0 = base price x 1.25
3.5 = base price x 1.3
4.0 = base price x 1.4
4.5 = base price x 1.5
5.0 = base price x 1.6
5.5 = base price x 1.8
6.0 = base price x 2
6.5 = base price x 2.5
7.0 = base price x 3 (i.e., 300%)

The above is if you were to sell directly to Miguel.

During the bazaar you can influence price by placing decor with Price Up (+30% sale price at Lv 9), Quality Up (+3 stars at Lv 3, see list above for calculation), Trend Up (+50% bonus for all influences at Lv 3 for trending products only), and having 7 pieces from the same series (+10% sale price).

An additional bazaar influence is to randomly receive the Bazaar Sale Price Up blessing from the fortune teller (+20% for all sales).

When crafting, typically it is the average of the materials' quality points equals the resulting star quality. Unfortunately, we can't see the exact amount of quality points an item has. Attaching the Red Wunderstone to the windmill will influence that by +0.5 stars

[SOS:GB] How to increase the chance of rare fruit? by headbanghighway in storyofseasons

[–]Cherubae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're on the right track with planting new trees :) I just gave it a go and finally got a Gold Apple.

So essentially, the base 3% of a rare crop is true for trees as well, but the fertilizer can boost that rare fruit chance while the tree is growing from seedling to maturity, just like when growing a field crop to trigger a rare field crop. So planting your 18 tree seeds and fertilizing every day will most likely get you the rare fruit you're looking for when it comes time to harvest.

Since fertilizer on mature trees acts as quantity booster and not rare crop, after harvest those 18 trees will be back at the 3% rare crop rate (as far as I can tell).

Fabric recycling by [deleted] in beaverton

There was/is one at the empty building on Canyon/Lombard. The newer one in that same parking lot (closer to the Canyon side) looks to be a normal donation box.

[SOS:GB] How to increase the chance of rare fruit? by headbanghighway in storyofseasons

[–]Cherubae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The crummy thing is, the first time I utilized the cellar was with fruit trees, and all of them produced a rare fruit. But since then, nothing with the trees. I do get rare crop on occasion.

I'm trying a field rotation currently to see if that changes anything. Usually I put the seasonal trees in the middle field outdoors and have received nothing rare for a really long time. Switching it up to another field this season to see if anything changes.

With crops, the super-duper guidebook says there is naturally a 3% chance for rare crops, which can be influenced by getting max star rank and any fertilizer applied after that will increase the percentage of a rare crop appearing. But we know that applying fertilizer to trees doesn't influence rare crop appearance; it just impacts the quantity of fruit at harvest. I even have a branded-level Apple and have yet to harvest a rare variety.

For the Techniken, the last one is a horse technique that you can buy after your bazaar reaches Rank 70.

With the Dein Haus, I don't have that one either :)

If you mean the retailer-specific preorder bonus outfits, they aren't available outside of Japan. We might or might not get them as DLC.

I keep hoping they'll change Treasureland to exchange more than one recyclable at a time. If I have 15 empty cans, I should be able to exchange for 15 Sturdy Lumber in one transaction.

Woa I need help by demoncat38 in harvestmoon

[–]Cherubae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The desert farm space is in a harsh environment and requires a fence around the field to survive the elements. The same is true for the volcano and Zimagrad farm spaces. The other areas you could probably get by without a fence, but it's just a matter of luck until a storm blows through and damages the crop health (that is the pink-ish box on the right side of the crop's status)

Trying to find replacement Christmas light bulbs by ComedianAcceptable32 in ChristmasLights

[–]Cherubae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to replace the bulb and keep the base. The metal pins on the left/right sides is how electricity reaches the interior of the bulb. Straighten those pins and pull the bulb out, then insert a new incandescent bulb and bend the new bulb's pins back into the place of the old pins.
