Event III

Golden Lumber Showoff
If you ever receive a chunk of Golden Lumber, be careful not to put it outside in your farmyard! The Mineral Town residents aren't happy with a farmer that likes to show off his wealth. Each morning they'll come by and scold you. Even the Groumet Man and the Harvest Goddess will show up and give you a hard time. If that's not enough, all day they will call you a rich rascal instead of using your name! Until you remove the Golden Lumber out of your farm yard, they will come every day and yell at you.

Fall Wine Festival
On the 14th of Fall, Duke will come by and ask if you could help them harvest the winery's grapes. If you agree he'll ask you to come by at 10am and suggest that you find a partner to help you harvest. The only person who doesn't really have a job is Cliff, so meet him at the Church or in the Inn and ask if he would like to help.At 10am on the 15th go to the winery. Manna will ask if you can help them for a few hours. If you agree then you and Cliff will talk with Duke and harvest the grapes. You don't get to pick the grapes but it's done automatically for you. At the end of the day Duke will thank you and Manna will feed you some wine and cheese. Yummy! Duke is so impressed with your partner's work that he offers Cliff a permanent job! Cliff thanks you for inviting him to the winery.
Now instead of hanging out alone in the Church, you'll find Cliff downstairs in the wine cellar.

Sprites Tea Party
If you're nice to the Harvest Sprites you may receive an invitation in your mailbox to join their Springtime Tea Party. The invitation will arrive in the Spring when you've earned their friendship. Take the invitation with you when you go visit the Sprite's hut and then give it to any one of them. They'll then start the Tea Party and give you Relax Tea Leaves as a memento. The party lasts until 6pm, then you get to walk home.

Animal funeral
If one of your animals die, you will see this scene. You and Rick (if it's a chicken) or Barley (if the animal is a cow or sheep) pay your last respects to your dead animal while Carter gives an eulogy. Animals in the Friends of Mineral Town game have a life expectancy time so you may see a few of these funerals. Chickens will start dying off when they reach about 3 years of age while cows and sheep can die after 5 years or so. Sometimes you might have a funeral with both Rick and Barley in attendance.

You can kind of "cheat" death by making sure you save your game before you go to bed that night. Since the funerals happen in the morning, you can reload your saved game from the previous night. When you wake up again there's a chance that your animal won't die.

B.Shack Business
Visit the Beach Shack between 5pm and 7pm and Kai will welcome you to his shop. He says that his shop constantly has so few people in it but he doesn't mind, although he doesn't think is food tastes that bad. Kai seems a little upset about the lack of customers. Just then Popuri then walks into Kai's shop and says she's brought him some customers! Some of the town's villagers come in and Popuri says there's more of them coming! In walk a few more and Kai realizes she wasn't kidding when she said she brought him customers. Kai asks if you would be able to help him out and you automatically agree.
There are a lot of customers who arrive. Even Ban, Luu, Kappa, and the Sprites show up for a meal!
Afterwards Kai is exhausted. He asks Popuri why she has to bring so many customers! Popuri apologizes and says she thought all the customers would make him happy. Kai thanks you for your help and then you'll reappear back in your farm house the next morning.

Won's home delivery
On the 3rd of Spring during your first year, Won will arrive in Mineral Town. He will greet you in the morning to let you know he's arrived. Won informs you that he likes this town and he's decided to set up shop in Zack's house.
After that day, every so often he'll still visit you when you leave your house. He'll sell you "special" apples or maybe a Flower Vase for your home. The apples are just normal apples, but he likes to make them appear unique by giving them fancy long names. Each apple costs 500 G each and he'll only let you buy 1 per visit. You can't buy the apples by visiting his shop in Zack's house. You have to wait for Won to greet you at the door. Won normally comes in the morning, but he can also show in the afternoon if you've gone inside your house.
The apples may be a waste of money, but they're included in the Ship Items List that you'll need to complete in order to marry the Goddess. The 3 apples can also be combined with themselves to complete Cooking Recipes.

G. & K.'s Friendship
During the Summer go to Kai's Beach Shack during lunch time, between 11am and 1pm. Gray has come to Kai's shop to get something to eat. He asks Kai for some Baked Corn and Kai is happy to give it to him. Kai then notices you walking in and welcomes you to his shop. Gray doesn't appear to be excited that you're there though and asks if you think it's rare for him to be at Kai's. He says that Kai makes the best food around. Kai becomes a little embarrased and replies that he just makes food to match the town's tastes. Gray smiles back and says his shop truely is good. Kai laughs and thanks him for his compliment. Gray says he has to be heading back to work else his grandfather might think he's loitering around. He says his farewells to you and Kai and then returns back to work.

4:44 Game Lockup
In Japanese culture, the number 4 is concidered bad luck. Sort of how those of us in the west concider the number 7 to be unlucky. In the Japanese version of the game if you watch tv at 4:44, the channel will display nothing but "4 HOUR 44 MINUTES" over and over again. After about 10 seconds it will stop automatically and you can continue playing.
The event is there in the English version too, but it's not converted correctly. You can watch the tv at 4:44, but instead of "4:44 4:44" flashing over the screen, your game will throw itself into a loop of opening and closing the dialog box. The only way to get out of it is to turn off your Gameboy and start from where you last saved.
You can tell if it is 4:44 by checking the clock in your farmhouse. You can buy the clock off of the Tv Shopping show on Saturdays.

Free Ponyride
Sometime during your first season or two, Barley will greet you at the front door in the morning. Seems they've had a little horsey at the Yodel Ranch that's not doing so well and he's there to ask if you would like to take care of it. If you agree he'll take the new horse and put it in your Horse Stable.
The horse will take a full year to grow up so you won't be able to participate in the Horse Race during your first year. If your horse doesn't have at least 5 hearts when Barley comes back to check on it a year later, he'll take it away from you! Luckily Barley does have a heart of his own, and he'll give it back to you a year later. The horse will be full grown, but it won't have any hearts at all.
Romiress figured out how to sneak past Barley's year-later checkup though. If you save your game before going to bed and Barley is there the next day, reload your game. Then just wake up the next morning and don't go outside to meet up with Barley. Just go back to bed and in the morning you'll still have your horse! If your horse has at least 5 hearts then you're fine anyway, but if you're afraid of Barley taking it away just pretend he's not there :)
Getting the horse to have lotsa hearts before the year is up isn't too hard if you don't keep it inside the barn every day. Like the other animals, the horse likes to be outside on sunny days and inside on bad weather ones. You can call your horse by pressing the Left Shoulder button. The more hearts the horse has, the farther away it can hear your whistle.

Friday the 13th
Occasionally you might have a friday that is also the 13th of a season. In past Harvest Moon games the day brought unhappy animals or horrible fishing. In Friends of Mineral Town the only thing that happens is the News channel is scrambled. Everything else throughout the day will be perfectly normal.

Grandpa's Letter
On Wednesday between 09am and 01pm, go to Ellen's house. Inside you'll find Ellen, Elli, and Stu talking. They start up a conversation with you about your work on the farm and how hard it must be. Ellen says even if today is Elli's day off from the Clinic, she's still studying medical books. Elli then remembers that she forgot to return the book to Doctor! She heads for the bookcase to find it, but when she does she also find a letter that had been hidden among the books.
The mysterious letter is addressed to Ellen, who opens it up and says it's from Grandpa! Elli and Stu are shocked and are curious to know what it says. Ellen reads the letter from her husband, who wrote that he is very happy that Ellen is his wife. He was too embarrassed to give his letter to Ellen, so he hid it in the bookcase. Ellen says she'll treasure his letter.

Family Memories
Walk to Mother's Hill from the Forest on a Wednesday between 8am and 10am. When you get to the area you'll find Doctor gazing out over the lake. When he notices you are watching him, he explains that he's there to remember his parents. Doctor's parents were also working in the medical field and when he was growing up they were very busy. Doctor hardly was able to spend any time with them and was angry that his parents didn't give him much attention. Now that he's grown up though, Doctor realizes how important it is to take care of other people's lives.
Time stops on Mother's Hill when you come across this event. You can stand there and fish in the lake, or even take the time to heal your Cursed Axe or Fishing Pole while you're there. When you leave the map, time will continue on as normal.

The Life Consultant
If the weather is good you might stumble across this event in Rose Square. When the ladies are there between 1 and 4pm, walk into the Square and you'll overhear Manna asking for advice. Sasha and Anna are more then willing to listen to their friend's troubles. Manna explains that she's concerned about Aja, her daughter. She explains that Aja and Duke had a fight, and afterwards Aja ran away. They hear from her occasionally but Manna wishes she would come home so they can all talk it out.
Sasha then has a brainstorm and volunteers to talk to Aja and convince her to return home. She says that sometimes it's best to have someone else other then the parents do the talking. Anna and Manna think that's a good idea.

Basil's Award
Event occurs if you're good friends with Basil. Mary and Gray also have to be married. Go to Basil's house between 4pm and 7pm

Doug and Duke argue
If you have Ann's heart color purple or higher, go to the Inn when it's raining or snowing outside. If you're there when Duke and Doug are there together (between 2pm and 4pm or so) you'll come across the two of them arguing. Ann is trying to stop them from having their argument, but they won't listen to her.
Ann asks if you would help her stop them from getting into a fight. If you decide to help, you will attempt to split the two men up. Doug and Duke are both irritated that you've tried to break them up, but then they can't even remember what they were arguing about! The guys smile and tell you they won't fight anymore. Mayor Thomas is just glad they've stopped so he can finish his meal.

Catch all the fish
After you catch all of the fish that are available, the Goddess will appear and congratulate you. The next morning Zack will appear at your farm door to also praise your fishing skills.

A letter from Dad
Lillia receives a letter from her husband Rod. Event happens during the Summer season at the Poultry Farm between 10am and 1pm.

Elli studies medicine
Elli and Doctor have to be married to trigger this event. Meet up with Elli at the clinic between noon and 7pm. Elli is studying and doesn't understand part of the chapter, but Doctor helps to clear it up for her. Elli is greatful for the Doctor's assistance. The two of them see you walk in and they both greet you. Elli explains that she's researching a cure for Ellen's legs. You can encourage her, or tell Elli to put her grandma into a hospital.

Jeff's decision
This event can trigger if Karen and Rick are married, and you're good friends with Jeff and Sasha. Go to the Store when it's raining outside, between 1pm and 4pm. Inside you'll find Sasha giving Jeff a little lecture. She's upset that he lets everyone in town buy items from the store on credit instead of paying cash. If no one pays with money, that means they don't have any money! Jeff says that people promise to pay but no one actually has done so yet. Sasha makes Jeff promise to have the next customer pay in cash instead of on credit. A customer walks into the store so you and Sasha move away from the cash register to see what Jeff does.
screen shot The customer is Duke, who says that he's just there to do a little shopping. Duke picks out the items he wants and then asks Jeff to put it on his tab (credit). Jeff finally makes the decision to say NO and requests that Duke pay in cash instead! Duke wasn't expecting to have to pay in cash for once and says he doesn't have any money with him! Duke will need to go home first to get his money, then come back to buy the items.
After Duke leaves, Sasha tells Jeff that he's done a good job. Jeff is feeling quite confident now that he's learned how to ask for cash. He says he'll start asking everyone to pay with cash from now on.

Duke and Manna argue
If you asked Cliff to help you with the Fall Wine Harvest you might see this event later. Go to the Winery on a Saturday between 8pm and 10pm. Inside you'll find Duke and Manna arguing. Manna is yelling at Duke because she believes he's been drinking the wine they produce again. Duke tries to deny it, but Manna says she found wine bottles under the bed. Duke nervously replies that he's just been trying to do some research so he can see if he can make their wine better.
Manna doesn't believe his research story so Duke becomes defensive. He doesn't like her nagging him about his drinking and says it's okey to drink a little bit. Manna becomes angry and tells Duke that he had said he'd stop drinking the wine they have to sell. She says that he also promised to stop drinking their produce and the reason that Aja left was because Duke couldn't keep his promises! Manna is worried that Cliff will leave because of him too.
She just wishes for Duke to cut back a little on his drinking because she's worried about him. Duke mumbles out and "ok" and Manna says he's forgiven this time.

Whack A Mole
If you've ever looked at your "Other" page in your Sales Summary ( ), you'd see scores you've obtained from the Harvest Sprite and Dog Frisbee mini games. You can also see the deepest floor in the mine that you've been able to reach, the most money you've made in a day, and (sadly) the longest life span of each type of animal you've owned. The listings in the Other page won't appear until you've actually initiated the type of listing, so you won't see the one about the mine's floors until you go into the mine and start digging around. Even if you think you've done everything available, there's one more listing that you might not be aware of.
When you're digging around your farm there's a chance you could find something in the dirt. You could find little bags of money or even an animal called a Mole. The moles won't harm your crops and they'll disappear back under the ground after a few moments. Since the little rodents are harmless you could just leave them be, or you could whack them on the head!
Smashing little rodents on the noggin was even a mini-game in Harvest Moon 2 GBC, but in FoMT you don't get to play the same way. When you dig up a Mole in your field you have to quickly switch to your Hammer tool and smash it on the head. The best way of doing this is to have the Hoe as your active tool and your Hammer set to be in slot 1 of your Rucksack. When you press Left Shoulder + B, you'll switch to your Hammer just in time to bop the mole on the head. If you try to manually switch tools by going into your Rucksack (A + B) then the mole will get away.
Each time you whack one of the moles, a tally appears in the Other screen of your Sales Summary.
