## **Starter Guide**

### **What is Harvest Town?**

Harvest Town is a mobile RPG where the player seeks to renovate their manor, and interact with the world around them. With the exception of the main quest, the game is mostly free-roam in what the players may do, and the players make take it at their own pace. There is no true "goal" to Harvest town, meaning that the players can make up their own goals. As of April 2020, the game is still in beta, although many features of the game are already playable.

The story of Harvest Town is quite simple: the player begins wishing to return back to the past, when they find themselves back in their hometown before they moved. After deciding to remain in their town this time, the player realizes they must restore the manor at which they live. Most of the story is unlocked via conversations with the townspeople and through various quests, meaning the player may take it at their own pace to learn about each character and part of the town.

### **How do I play?**

The gameplay of Harvest Town is made up of two main components: conversation and collection.

## **Conversation**

The conversation comes from the citizens, which you may talk to, give gifts to, or complete quests for. By raising their affection level, the player may receive recipes, gifts, or in the case of bachelors/bachelorettes, the ability to marry them.

* **Interaction**
	+ In order to interact with a citizen (also referred to as NPC), tap on them to talk. If you are inside a store trying to interact with the shopkeeper, tap on the store counter, and you will see the option to interact just underneath "Store".
	+ When a citizen has a white bubble with an exclamation mark above their head, this means that they have a quest for you, or that a completed quest may be delivered to them. Taking on villager quests not only raises your affection points with them, but also gives you goods, coins, diamonds, and prosperity.
* **Giving Gifts**
	+ A quick way to raise a citizen's affection. In order to give a citizen a gift, select the item you wish to give in your item bar at the bottom of the screen, then go to talk to them. You should see the option "This is for you". Tap that, and your gift will be given.
	+ You can only give one gift per citizen a day in-game, so choose wisely!
	+ Every citizen has their likes and dislikes, which can be viewed on the individual character pages. The relationships page includes a table on dislike/like/favourite values.
	+ Gifts given on a character's birthday (see Bulletin below for information on dates) have 2x the normal fondness, so make sure to give a gift for birthdays!
* **Bulletin Board**
	+ The bulletin board is located to the left of the school entrance, and will display the birthdays of that season, as well as any available daily quests. Birthdays will be displayed by a character's face on a date, and they can also be found on the individual character pages or the birthdays page.
	+ Quests on the bulletin board will be shown by a red bubble with an exclamation mark over the board. These quests are time-limited, but offer diamonds, transportation scrolls, coins, invitation card and prosperity.
* **The Mailbox**
	+ **​​​​​​​**Located at the front of a player's manor, the mailbox will receive any letters or gifts from the citizens. Just like the bulletin, a red bubble with a yellow exclamation mark will be displayed when a letter or gift has arrived.
	+ The mailbox also contains special quests from characters that reward rare prizes (such as diamonds) in return for players to find a special quest item for a specific character. For more information on where to find items, or who they belong to, check out the Quest Items page.
	+ The mailbox also displays information about upcoming in-game events, and also notices about fees if a player has lost something or died.

## **Collection**

The biggest part of Harvest town is the collection aspect, which includes upgrading your manor, skills, and orders, and also includes levelling up and seasons. **​​​​​​​**

### **Upgrading the manor**

* Upgrading the manor is the biggest factor into playing Harvest Town, and it's the main goal of many of the game's features. Your manor is found at the far left of the map, and can be upgraded in various ways through the collection of prosperity. To find your current manor level, check the star displaying at number at the top left corner of the screen, or under the manor tab in options. There, you can also view the prosperity needed to level up your manor. Upgrading the manor allows for new decorations, activities, production houses, and more.
* There are various ways to upgrade the manor. Your manor level increases by the amount of prosperity earned, and your main ways of earning prosperity are decorating/building, orders, and quests. Check the building section below for more information on this.

### **Skills**​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In order to complete most of the game's features, the player must unlock skill system and improve their skills. Upgrading Farming Skill to level 1 by planting and harvesting crops will unlock the skill system. There are 8 skills: Farming, Logging, Fishing, Mining,Battle, Breeding, Pickup, and Cooking. Player can get skill experience (Exp.) by doing the corresponding daily activities. A skill will level up once it has enough Exp. and player will get the corresponding skill points. Use skill points to improve the ability for corresponding activities. Performing skill actions (with the exception of pickup) will use up vitality (the green bar at the top left of the screen), but the vitality cap will be raised with skill level upgrades. While the wiki pages for these skills aren't all complete, below is a small explanation of each skill.
* *Logging*: This requires an axe, and includes any wood product being removed or chopped, especially trees. The best way to quickly increase this skill is to focus on chopping the full grown oak and pine trees around your manor and the town, as well as chopping any wood trash (saplings, logs) around your manor.
* *Mining*: This requires a pickaxe, and includes any time you mine stone, including the stones around the town/manor, and within the Ancient Mine and Occult Cave. Raising this skill also raises the frequency of rare gems.
* *Fishing*: This requires a fishing rod, although fish caught with a fishing trap still are included in this skill and count towards skill levels. Fishing spots are all around town in the Manor River, Eastern Lake, Saltwater/ Beach, and make sure to fish where you see spots with fish swimming around/jumping out of the water! The fish available change by time, weather and season, so make sure to keep an eye out for the fish you need.
* *Farming*: This includes all the cultivation and collection of your crops at your manor. The quickest way to level up this skill is to create large amounts of farm on your land, and with the helps of sprinklers, grow mass amounts of crop at once (often times, you will find yourself needing the extra crop for orders or to sell).
* *Breeding*: While this skill is not as straightforward as the others, it may be improved with owning your animals or by foraging with a scythe.
* *Battle*: This skill includes killing any of the monsters around town. View the monsters page for more information on monsters, or where to find them. This uses a sword (some other weapons are available, but come on later on), which you can craft a wooden sword to start out with. Be careful when battling monsters, and keep an eye on your health bar (red bar at the top left of your screen). If you die, you may lose something, and you are often charged a fee by Lee Wah to pay for your recovery.
* *Cooking*: This skill is unlocked after the player upgrades their cottage to level 4, unlocking the kitchen. Recipes may be earned from raising your manor level, or by earning the max affection of certain characters. Cooked food restores vitality and life and is also favorites gifts of some NPCs. Certain recipes require season specific items or products, so make sure to stock up! Be careful with cooking, as if you leave your meal for too long, it will burn, and will only be resold at one coin, as well as given an random effect when eaten. Excluding drinking milk, cooked food is the only way to regain vitality and health by consumption.
* Pickup: All around town, there are various items that can be picked up and collected. This skill does not require any vitality, and the quickest way to raise it is by traveling daily in game to go around town to find items. The beach has a different set of pickup items than the rest of the town, so make sure to keep an eye out for what you may find there! In addition, pickup items change by season, with the only way you are able to earn them off-season is through the Occult Cave, or just waiting for the season to return. For this reason, it's wise to stock up on pickup items, as orders and quest products will require them regardless of the season.

### **Weapons**

* Weapons are an important part of the battle skill, and will be required for traveling to certain parts of the map, as well as completing the main quest.
* As you venture through the Occult Cave, you will find more along the way from monster drops and opening treasure chests. Some weapons, such as rusted swords or wooden swords, come from fighting monsters outside of the Occult Cave, but the strongest weapons will usually drop from the Occult Cave store or Occult Cave (found on the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc.).
* On lucky days, you may also find weapons by digging or chopping trees.
* The best way to get better weapons though is by going down into the Occult Cave and collecting drops.
* Some monsters, such as slimes, cannot be fully defeated without the help of an explosive, which you can craft basic versions of with coal and stone hearts, as well as gifts from visiting other players.
* The better the luck is, the higher is the chance of getting weapons.

### **Bombs**

* Bombs are a form of weapon that explodes a few seconds after their placement. To use them, simply place them on the ground, and step away. Look out for the green square that shows once you put it down, as that shows what area will be affected by the bombs.

* *Super Bomb*
There is a super bomb in the mall that can be purchased with diamonds. It is stronger and has more range than the bomb you can craft.

* *Small Bomb*

As of April 2020, small bombs may be crafted using one stone heart (gained from killing stone monsters), and one piece of coal. These bombs are used in the main quest (though you will receive 5 from Lee Yeung in the main quest), as well as in orders and in side quests. These bombs only cover a one grid range, so make sure that you place them in the best spot for your use.

### **Rings**

* Rings may be equipped to the player to help provide certain perks and buffs to the player's attack, critical attack boosts, and the sort. To equip a ring, open your bag, and move it to the second box down on the right side of the character display.
* Rings may come as gifts, treasure drops, and prizes from the Occult Cave store.

### **Potions**

* Potions are used to boost or restore a players stats. They are consumable, and will last for a few hours IN GAME TIME. When a boost potion is in effect, there will be a golden boy at the top right of the screen, besides the order button.
* Potions may be purchased from the hospital, or won in the Occult Cave store.
* There are currently 4 potions, 3 potions available for purchase from Lee Wah or Lee Yau. They include:
	+ Life potion- Restores 50 HP.
	+ ATK potion- Increases attack by 30 for 5 hours.
	+ DEF potion- Increases defence by 10 for 5 hours.
	+ Vitality potion- Restores 100 Vitalities. (comes in messages as a gift)

### **Building and Decorating / Using Your Land**

A large part of upgrading your manor goes into how you build it up and decorate it. Both ways can give large amounts of prosperity, and it's important to use both in your gameplay.

#### **Building**

* Buildings are made at the Carpenter's ​​​, and they require materials collected from mining, logging, and orders to build, as well as coins. These buildings fall into two categories: Decorative and Building.
* *Building* structures, or the "production buildings" are used to create products from crops and animal products, or mining materials for the Melt. These structures may be upgraded, and are used to create products for quests/orders/cooking, with the exception of the barn, poultry house, kennel, and other structures used to store animals. Some buildings are able to be built more than once, so keep an eye out!
* *Decorative* structures are structures used to decorate the manor, and many will reduce production time or double the output. These usually cost more building materials (which are earned from ship orders), but give large amounts of prosperity when completed.

#### **Decorating**

* Decorations give large amounts of prosperity, and can be bought with coins or diamonds. To buy a decoration, open the edit button on your interior or exterior of the manor, and tap the paintbrush in the bottom right of your screen. From there, go to the top right, where you will see a golden symbol. From there, you may access the store. On each item, in the item photo, it shows the prosperity gained by buying it. The more expensive the item, the more prosperity it will bring.
* Decorative items that are crafted (such as chests) may be useful, but they do NOT give you prosperity, so keep that in mind.

#### **Land Space**

* For many beginners, you will have little space at first. Don't worry! As you play, and your manor level is raised, you will automatically gain more land. For this reason, it is discouraged to buy the repairs to gain more land on your manor unless it is absolutely necessary, as it will be done free for you later on. A common example is the bridge, which will automatically be unlocked at Manor level 20.
* For new players, starting a large farm may be a daunting task without the usage of sprinklers, which automatically will water your crops in a certain radius for you. For this reason, don't forget to use your sprinklers! They're extremely helpful, and make farming much easier.
* For players trying to plant trees, make sure that all your trees are one square apart so that they may grow!
* A key part of your manor is the transporter, which will be found by the cottage at the beginning of the game. While it can be moved, be careful to not destroy it or put it in an inaccessible spot, as it will allow you to teleport around the town with the help of teleportation scrolls (dropped from bulletin quests and Ancient Mine monsters).

### **Orders / Earning Money**

Orders are a large part of the gameplay, as the player will sell their goods in specific orders in order to earn money. Previously there were van, ship and aircraft orders, now all are combined into the logistic hub since HT 2.0 started. Orders are categorized from 1 white star to 5 purple stars, ranging from few minutes of waiting time to few hours depending on the level of the orders.

There are various ways to earn money in Harvest Town, including two other types of money-earning that aren't fulfilling orders.

* The *Stall*, located right by the entrance to your manor/exit to the town. The stall allows you to sell goods, regardless of if it is in an order or not. This is a good way to earn money from excess crops/if you are unable to complete the orders you have. It is recommended to sell at stall when you have purple quality items.
* *Quests*, which are earned from the Bulletin, talking to citizens, or the main quest. They give significantly less coins than the other methods, so be wary of relying upon them too much.

Every day the game sends gifts to all your friends, so the more friends the more gifts you can open, depending on your luck you can receive building materials, seeds, minerals or food, and if there are events, items from that event as well.

++ TIP ++

To open the gift you must spend 10 diamonds, but keep in mind that you will always receive in the gift between 7 and 15 diamonds back. Other items inside include random number of building materials, random cooked foods or/and random number of seeds.

The gifts you can receive are random, so you can receive something special even if the player is very low level.

Time does not pass while you are at your friend's manor, however the time of the "production buildings" continues to run, so you can take advantage and leave everything being created and visit them.

Sometimes player level does not allow him to release manor zones, if the gift is locked in that zone try another day.

### **Anticipating a harvest day**

if you put seeds on the last day of the season you can bring forward a harvest day, despite the warning that "the seeds will die the next day after being planted", if that next day is correct for the type of seed (the season is correct)
this does not happen and one day of growth is advanced, but you must water the plants or flowers that same day.

As an example, wheat seeds are planted on the 28th of Spring, by the 1st of Summer they are already grown.

### **Purple van orders**

[?] What is the purple order under the van orders?

These are urgent orders from NPC's around town.

You can select which one of the items you would like to fill.

++ TIP ++
Those urgent orders are limited to 20 per day, but they will give you a nice reward!

### **Antiquities**

Antiquities can be placed on the bookshelves at the School. An antiquity can be donated to the school for rewards. Rewards are given based on the total you have donated, not for each one. To donate an antiquity, you must be holding it and place it on one of the many long shelves in the School’s library located on the second floor. You cannot donate an antiquity more than once. Collection Achievements can be completed by collecting antiquities and donating them.

Antiquities can be found in various places such as plowing (Manor, beach, or anywhere else), mining, exploring (opening treasure chests / defeating mobs in the Occult Cave), and on Spinning Wheel's in the Occult Cave.

Here is an image that easily shows how to find the antiquities:

++TIP++

Some antiquities only appear in treasure chests, so it is recommended to save the game and try several times when opening them.

Usually the easiest way to obtain antiquities is by obtaining crystals, and the hardest part of completing the collection is fishing the treasure chests.

### **How Do I Get Nectar?**

There are 4 types of nectars you can produce:

* **Wild Nectar** (a light yellow color) can be produced by planting any flower (or nothing) other than Lavender, Jasmine and Goldenrod flowers within a six tile radius of a hive.
* **Lavender Nectar** (a dark purple color) can be produced by planting a lavender plant (lavender seeds are unlocked at lvl. 28) within a six tile radius of a hive.
* **Jasmine Nectar** (a dark yellow color) can be produced by planting a jasmine flower (jasmine seeds are unlocked at lvl. 20) within a five tile radius of the hive.
* **Goldenrod Nectar** (a dark yellow colour, similar to the color of a jasmine nectar) can be produced by planting a goldenrod flower (goldenrod seeds are unlocked at lvl. 34) within a six tile radius of a hive.

++TIP++

If two different types of flowers are put within a six tile radius of a hive, there will be a possibility of the hive producing nectar from either of the flowers.

For example, if you plant a Lavender flower and a Goldenrod flower next to the hive, the hive will produce either Lavender nectar OR Goldenrod nectar.

A hive will take 24 hours to produce nectar.

You can tap on a hive to see how much longer it will take for it to produce nectar.

Hives will not produce nectar when it rains.

After raining, it will take a full 24 hours for it to produce nectar again.

### **Luck**

[?] What is that icon like a sun next to my character?

Luck is an important and often overlooked aspect of the game. You can find your luck via the calendar, which is most easily accessed through the sun icon in your inventory - though it can also be found on the calendar that is on your wall at the start of the game.

The sun icons in your inventory that symbolize your luck for the day are as follows:

The general luck of the day generally impacts the number of drops, spawns, double crafts, etc. Overall, this isn't terribly noticeable.

**What you really want to look out for with luck is what the ✓ and X categories are for each day. Especially the X.**

You can find out what the details of the ✓ or X of the day means by clicking on those marks. ✓ will usually be something like increased drops, but X can be quite troublesome.

++TIP++

If your X luck category for the day is mining, *do not go mining that day.* It is not just a decrease in drops, *mining will cost 2x the vitality it usually does.*

(Credits Tokage HT Help Discord)

### **Luck bait**

Fishing using luck bait can increase your odds of getting limit packs and treasure chests at the beach.

Rare weapons, materials, and antiquities can be found in this chest.

Once you find a chest take it to the smith to crack it to open it.

(Credits LumeriaSS0 HT Help Discord)

### **Trees**

If you want to plant trees (for wood) you need 1 square space between them to make them all fully grown, in the case of fruit trees you can put them all together, and use scale powders to accelerate their growth.

### **Falling Trees**

[?] When I cut a tree it falls into water - what can I do?

The direction in which the tree falls depends on the tile from which you make the last cut - see above for a guide on where the tree will fall

++ TIP ++

Trees that are cut over the edge of a cliff or empty space will not be lost

Be careful where you plant your FRUIT TREES - if you plant them too close to the water the fruit may fall in

Some trees around the town river will fall into water anyway as there is no way for them to fall on land
It may be better to cut them when they are still little to avoid all of the wood falling in and receiving at least some resource

### **Fix The Machine Quest**

Among all the missions that you need to complete in the game, one of the most important is Lee Yeung's, he will give you after completing his "Fix Machine A, B, C" the best possible gift, a way to remotely manipulate your "production buildings" with a Signal Tower, you must do these missions as as soon as possible in the game.

### **The Signal Tower**

The Signal Tower is a central hub for collecting factory items, its more efficient. You will not have to visit the different buildings one by one, but from the same phone you will receive the products from wherever you are without having to move, a true marvel. Needs fuel to operate, can only be refuelled if less than 28 days (don't waste your resources, you only need to put fuel on once every 28 days, so only fill it up when it runs out.).

### **Occult Cave Drops and Loot**

[?] What can I get in the Occult Cave?

There is a huge variety of objects that you can obtain in the Occult Cave, some by killing mobs and others by collecting them.

Monster / Drop

Pick Up Occult Cave / Season

### **Passwords for treasure chest**

[?] What are the passwords for the treasure chests?

Look in your Backpack and there should be diary pages. Read them and use the numbers for the code.
If you get stuck, there is an album in the Facebook group that has all the pages with the right passwords.
There is also a wiki page (Lost - Diary Lock Box) that contains all passwords for the treasure chests.

### **Black holes with eyes**

Dig / Hoe the black holes with eyes on the ground. Sometimes you get materials, 20 coins, a limit pack, garbage, or a dungeon with a treasure chest.

### **Dungeon**

The treasure chest in the dungeon contains many various building materials. More than city orders will give you.
>> Run inside the dungeon and avoid the monsters as they are stronger than normal.

Open the small chest by hitting it with your pickaxe

++ TIP ++

Life potions would be useful in dungeons.

### **Swamp**

[?] What update will the Swamp be coming in? / Where is the Swamp located?

The swamp is coming to late March. The Facebook team have say The Swamp Path will be accessible after this week's update.
The swamp is that whole inaccessible area to the left of our farm. That dark area and the black hole.

### **How to get many coins**

If you visit your friends' manor regularly you will find that in the long run it is very profitable. The meals that you find in the daily gift (many with a value greater than 400 coins) are the best you can receive, but this as we know takes time, so be patient and you may receive a lot of diamonds in the process. If you have time and friends you will find that you can get approximately 100+ diamonds and enough food to sell each day, but of course it will take you a long time approximately 2-4 hours, that you can invest in making hundreds of objects in the machines while you visit them, that is why it is so important to get the "Signal Tower" as soon as possible.

You must also complete the Shabby Hot Spring missions as soon as possible, they will give you fishing traps, the best you can sell are crabs, which are one of the most valuable items in the game.

### **Other Tips:**

Don't get rid of Sam's diary! It will be useful later on.

If you put a building on some rock or log, you can immediately eliminate that object in the "edit mode", but be careful it does not work on animals, crops, never use it on remains of buildings in your manor, better level up your shovel! (Obviously this function will surely be removed, since we are in a beta)

There are secret saving spots throughout the games:

* When you rename your manor.
* When you buy new clothes/hairstyle.
* When you walk into the beach party (always save the game before entering the beach party, in this you can reset the game and get different gifts).
* Every time you use diamonds it will be saved, so don't waste them.
* Every time you use the new dating system the game will be saved
