Harvest Master: Farm Sim Guide

May 25, 2017

I'm going to tell you how to make the most money! That is the "strategy" part of the game. Essentially, do festivals and then plan your time around when shops open. This guide will help you!

Some Overall Thoughts about the game (Feel free to skip):

A farming RPG that is super cute. I like how time passes on a clock on the side. There's a bit of time management where you have to get to the stores on the days and times that they're open. Otherwise, you are the manager of your own farm! You can grow, fish, and care for your animals as you see fit! Sell all the fruits of your labor to the shipping store and accumulate money.

This is a work in progress. I'll update this as I play and learn more.

Festivals
A great way to make money!
How to win at harvest master farm sim guide festival.

Fishing Festival: located at the pier below your house! However, it's only visible after 10:00 AM. It is on the 10th of the month, from 10:00 to 16:00 on the clock.

Tips: you can start fishing in the morning, before the official start of the festival to get most advantage. For your first festival, 10 fish is enough to get first prize. This gives 5000 coins! Stores are closed this day, so make sure to buy a fishing rod before the tenth. To fish, equip the fishing rod and tap to cast your line. When the screen shakes, tap again to reel in your line.

Harvest Festival: At the start of the month/season, take a look through the store to find the plant that takes the most time to grow. Plant that early and do not sell it. On the 29th, show it to the person at the harvest festival. You have probably just grown the most expensive plant and won the most points!

Animal Festival: (Cow, Chicken, Sheep) You must buy the animal in question from the animal store. The animal store is located in the tiny house in the middle,bottom, of the left town, ( I will call the smaller town on the left "left town" and the larger part of town on the right "right town"). The festival takes part in the empty field to the left of your farm. On the day of the festival, during festival time, go to the animal you want to enter and select it.

Stores
In order of usefulness, in my opinion.

Shipping Facility: Sell your items for coins. THIS IS HOW YOU GET SOME MONEY (for the best way, see FESTIVALS.) Open Monday to Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The Item Shop: Buy seeds and equipment (fishing rod, etc). Open Monday to Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The Animal Shop: Buy animals, wheat (don't buy this though! Grow it yourself as it's much cheaper), and equipment to take care of them. Open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The Blacksmith: Exchange Ore for better equipment that takes less energy, and buy rings to advance relationships. Open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The Library: Despite the name, cannot read books. Come here to witness events. Open weekdays 10 AM to 4 PM.
Rick's Restaurant: Buy foods that can restore hearts. This is only slightly not as useless as the clothing store. Open everyday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The Clothing Store: Buy clothes. Open Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 10 AM to 4 PM.
The Beach Shop: Does nothing. Open Monday to Wednesday 10 AM to 4 PM.
