Introduction


Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar is the newest DS game in the Harvest Moon series. With two separate game files, you can play either as a Boy or a Girl or as both by using both files.

Your Character lives in Zephyr Town, a village that is centred on wind power, with a number of Windmills. Instead of shipping the goods you produce, you will sell them at the local Bazaar on Bazaar Day, an Event that occurs on a weekly basis. Goods can be sold to any shop in the village as well, including the Cafe, but you will be required to meet specific sales goals at the weekly bazaar. This means, in effect, that any items you sell outside the Bazaar will detract from your potential bazaar sales.

You will have a Kitchen at the very start of the game. Recipes can be obtained through trial-and-error or by purchasing a Dish from the local Cafe. Any food purchased from the Cafe will be received as an actual item that you can sell, consume or give as a gift to another Character.

Although you arrive in Zephyr Town on 1 Spring, you will not be able to leave your house after the Mayor gives you the basic tour and time will not run. You can explore your House after he leaves but then have to save your game and go to bed.

The game effectively begins on 2 Spring, therefore, in time-honoured Harvest Moon fashion. Felix will arrive at 6.00 a.m. with gifts of a Hoe and Watering Can, six Turnip Seeds and six bags of Fertiliser.

Your first tasks will be to farm, planting Turnip Seeds and fertilising them daily if possible in order to raise their quality (and value) as well as foraging for items throughout the town. Turnip Seeds and Fertiliser can be purchased from Raul at his shop.

Items that can be collected from the ground include wild Flowers such as Moondrop, Toy Flower and Magic Blue Flower as well as herbs such as Chamomile and Mint. You can collect insects using your bare hands, even when they are flying insects such as Butterflies. You will not need a net.

Shitake Mushrooms will appear randomly even during Spring, although they tend to appear more frequently after it has rained on the previous day. You can make these into Steamed Mushrooms in your Kitchen without any prior Recipe or any Utensils.

Every item has a specific Quality and Freshness rating. You can store items to preserve those ratings but as they 'go bad', they will lose some of their value. Incidentally, other Characters will not accept items that are not fresh as Gifts!

Coins can be found on the ground. You will see a little sparkle on the ground where any Coin is hidden. They are of various denominations with different values. At the very beginning of the game, you can find the following:

Small Coin: 50G
A coin of simple design. Combine with metals to make a more valuable coin.

Bronze Coin: 150G
Maybe it can be used for payment somewhere...

Silver Coin: 300G
Maybe it can be used for payment somewhere...

Gold Coin: 450G
Maybe it can be used for payment somewhere...

All of these Coins can be sold initially either at a local Shop or from your Bazaar Stall.

You can dive into the River and items will be caught randomly in your clothing when you reach the shore. This action will require Stamina, however and you need to be careful not to exhaust yourself completely. Items that can be caught in your clothing include: Empty Can, Branch, Small Coin, Sea Urchin, Gold Ore.

From the very start of the game, you will be able to purchase Turnip Seeds and Fertiliser from the local market. When you attend the first Bazaar, you will be able to purchase Potato Seeds and Cabbage Seeds from his stall there.

The prices of these Spring Seeds are:

Turnip Seeds: 120G
Can harvest 4-5 days after plantiing. Can only be harvested once.

Potato Seeds: 170G
Spring Crop. Can harvest 6-8 days after planting. Can only be harvested once.

Cabbage Seeds: 420G
Spring crop. Can harvest 11-15 days after planting. Can only be harvested once.

When the Bazaar has been expanded for the first time, Chen will begin to sell new types of Crop Seeds for each growing Season and other Items. Sherry will sell Tree Seeds.


Unlocking New Options


Every Harvest Moon game requires patience where new options are concerned. In Grand Bazaar, many of the new options that are unlocked have date requirements rather than progress requirements.

For example, the first Windmill will be unlocked on or near 24 Spring when Isaac visits your house at 6.00 a.m.

The actual Animals sold at the weekly Bazaar at Enrique's Stall are randomly chosen. I have found Pigs and Chicks for sale in some files and Cows and Chicks for sale in another even in the first week. Adult Animals will be sold only after you purchase the 'young' variety of the Animal from Enrique.

Although the Sickle, Hammer and Axe will appear at Mayor Felix's Stall at the Bazaar in successive order, you will be given your first Fishing Rod by the Mayor on 1 Summer.

Many new options will be unlocked with Bazaar expansions, including the appearance of Chen and Gannon from Sunny Island/Sunshine Islands. More Seeds, Cookware and the Big Bed, as well as ingredients such as Oil and Rice can be obtained only when the Bazaar has been expanded for the first time. Later Bazaar expansions bring new options as well. All Bazaar expansions are based on your Character's total sales, so this is one area where progress will determine your ability to purchase specific items.

Where other important items are concerned, you must have patience. Although your first Short Fishing Rod is a gift, the Medium Fishing Rod will appear at Felix's Stall at the Bazaar only in the second Year. The Long Fishing Rod will not appear at his Stall until the fourth Year.

Even Courtship to some extent is time-specific in terms of meeting all Characters Eligible for Marriage. Amir will be introduced on 3 Winter by Mayor Felix. You cannot meet Emiko until the second year, when she takes possession of the shrine behind the Waterfall.

In some ways, Grand Bazaar is less complicated than some of the other Harvest Moon games because new options are unlocked at specific times. In other ways, especially where the extraordinary choice of Crops, Fruits and Recipes are concerned, it is a game that deserves a player's patience and determination as you will not be able to glimpse more than hints of what the future holds if you do not continue to play through the Seasons.


Your Farmhouse


Mayor Felix will give you a tour of your Farm and Farmhouse:


Storage Room


Felix: Use the storage room to hold items when your bage is full! Fruists, milk and other perishable items will last longer in storrage as well! The Control Pad moves the cursor, and the A Button selects. Just like your bag! If you want to leave storage, just press the B Button! Go ahead, try it!

Storage becomes significant in a game where Freshness determines the value of items and when you need to save your items to sell them at the weekly Bazaar. Unfortunately, storage space is rather limited at the start of the game with only 12 slots for items in the Storage Room. Items can be stacked, but only when they have the same Quality and Freshness.

Animal Feed must occupy a slot in the Storage Room in order to be accessible from the Barn area. The Barn area, incidentally, is attached to the Farmhouse and can be accessed through a door in the eastern wall. The door that leads to the Storage Room is south of the Bed, but you can access your Storage space when you are outside by using a door on the left side of the house.

Your Rucksack or Bag has 36 Slots. There is no differentiation between Tools and other Items. You will find everything in the Bag. Use the X Button to access the Bag, and then use the Directional Control Pad to choose an Item. There is virtually no Touchscreen or Stylus use in Grand Bazaar. If you wish to equip or hold an Item, find it using the directional Control Pad, then use the 'A' Button to remove it from the Bag. By using the Directional Control Pad, you can choose its final destination from three:

Equip
Charm
Hold

Tools are equipped. Items for the most part are 'Held'. To place an item in your Bag, or to return an item that you are holding to your Bag, use the Y Button.


The Basket


Felix will continue his Tutorial with a description of your Basket:

Felix: And that's about everything you need to know! Ah! There is one other thing that I'd like to show you!

This basket here is very useful! Anything you put in here is automatically sent to storage! Convenient, No? Just toss an item into the basket, and it'll be sent to storage! It's that simple! But if your stroage is full, you can't add items! You can also pick the basket up and move it, so it's sure to be useful!

With only 12 Slots in the Storage Room, it is difficult to keep any space vacant for items to be sent directly to it via the Basket early in the game. Once you expand your Storage Room, the Basket may become more useful.


Saving your Game and Sleeping


Felix will give you instructions on how to go to sleep at night. This is significant in that the only time you are able to save your game in Grand Bazaar is at the moment of going to bed. When you stand next to your bed to press 'B', you will see the following options:

Save and go to bed.
Go to bed without saving.
Don't go to bed yet.

Felix will inform you:

Felix: Just stand next to your bed and press the B Button when you want to go to sleep! If you'd like, check out the bookshelf or the kitchen before you go to bed! Also, your calendar shows you when festivals will be taking place! Take a look! Well, I'll be on my way, then! Goodnight, Freya!


The Vase


When Felix gives you a tour of your house, he will show you an empty vase east of the front door:

Felix: This is a vase. You can fill it with any flowers you have. However, the flowers will wilt after a few days, so you'll need to replace theml

In other Harvest Moon games, the presence of Flowers in a Vase in your house actually affected your Energy levels in a positive way. In Grand Bazaar, if your Character presses 'B' in front of the Vase when it is filled with fresh Flowers, he/she will respond 'with music' and about 1/10th of your Stamina Bar will be restored. As with the Bath and Restroom, this Effect can be generated only once in the course of any day.

Once the flower Vase is filled, you will not be able to change the Flowers until they lose their freshness entirely. You then will be able to replace them with fresh Flowers.


Your Kitchen


Kitchen Tutorial: This is the kitchen. Use it when you want to cook. Cook without recipe allows you to freely choose what ingredients to cook with. However, it might not turn out well if the mix is bad. Cook from recipe automatically picks the ingredients for you. When a dish is a success, you can write down the recipe. However, you can customise by adding more ingredients to the original recipe. If the customisation is successful, you can revise the recipe. You can also get recipes by buying dishes from the cafe in town.

The menu options are:

Cook from Recipe
Cook without Recipe
Quit

You should be able to cook successfully as soon as you have an ingredient for a single-ingredient Recipe. The first items you may obtain are a Turnip and a Shitake Mushroom. You can make Turnip Salad with the Turnip and Steamed Mushrooms with the Shitake. The value of these Cooked Dishes is significantly higher than the raw ingredients used to make them.

If you purchase a Chick at the first Weekly Bazaar, it will become an Adult capable of laying one egg each day in a week. You then can make:

Boiled Egg:
Ingredients: Egg

Egg Custard:
Ingredients: Egg + Shitake

An Egg Custard sells for 495G ordinarily which means that you should be able to obtain almost 1000G for one at your Stall at the Bazaar.

Note that although most Recipes require no additional Utensils, there are Cooked Dishes that cannot be made successfully unless you have a Pot or Frying Pan. The Pot and Frying Pan will be sold at the Cookware Stall when the Bazaar is expanded for the first time. Each will cost 10,000G

It is when Cooking that you will use the Touchscreen in Grand Bazaar. For Ingredients, there are two tabs below the slots in which Items that can be cooked appear. The first is the Rucksack and the second is your Storage Room. You therefore need not place an ingredient in your Rucksack physically in order to be able to use it in the Kitchen. You simply need to change tabs to locate the Items that are in Storage.

Similarly, you need not take Items physically to the Windmills in order to process them but can access them through the Menu that appears when you choose the option to use the Windmill.


Your Bookshelf


In the main room, to the right of the Bed:

Felix: This is the bookshelf. You can view your assets here. You can check your farm's status, your balance, yearly income and your expenses. You can also see what you have collected and your relationship with others. There's a lot of useful information in it, so be sure to look at it often.

Recipes you have obtained can be found in your Assets as well as in your Kitchen. There is a Characters' Page in your Assets Menu that gives you basic information about every Character, including general likes and dislikes and current heart level.


Assets Menu


Completing various collections is one of the subsidiary goals in any Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game. You will find records of your Recipes as well as the varieties of Fish and Insects you have caught in your Assets Menu.

An icon of a wicker cage denotes the page where both Insects and Fish are listed. This is one of the few situations where you need to use the Touchscreen to touch either the fish or the insects tab on the right of the lower screen to access the Lists.

You will have a Skill Level and Title for catching 'Critters' and Fish in Grand Bazaar as well as your general Farming Title.



Wall Calendar


The Calendar on your Wall gives you access to five Seasons if you use the R Button. In the first Spring, therefore, you will be able to consult all four Seasons in the first Year as well as Spring of the 2nd Year. Dates that are marked include all Festivals, Birthdays and Bazaar Days.


Bathroom and Restroom


Your Farmhouse will be equipped both with a Bathroom and a Restroom at the very start of the game. Both recover energy but the Bathroom restores more Energy than the Restroom. They appear to take only 5 minutes of your time, but each can be used only once in the course of any day.


Passage of Time in Grand Bazaar


Unlike many Harvest Moon games, entering a building will not halt the passage of time. Be careful not to forget this if you are a veteran player!

If you do forget, time will continue to pass until 5.00 a.m. at which point your Character will collapse on the floor with the thought: I can't go on... I think... I'm passing out.

This will occur even with a full Energy Bar. It will not result in a reduction of energy in the morning when you leap out of bed at 6.00 a.m., however.


Random Results


As with many Harvest Moon and Rune Factory games, some options are loaded into the game randomly. Items that can be foraged are loaded randomly, which means that you can change the configuration by reloading your game. If you need a specific item and do not have it in storage, provided always that it is an item that can be found in the current season, you may be able to find it if you reload your game.

The Animals that will be offered by Enrique are chosen randomly by the game, although only Young Animals of any type will appear until you have purchased at least one Animal of that variety. After that, the Adult Animal of that type will appear at his Stall.

Another random result is the Menu at Joan's Cafe and her Stall at the Bazaar. Although you can create Cooked Dishes and obtain the Recipes by trial and error, if you are looking for specific cooked Dishes to give as Gifts to individuals before you have the ingredients required to make them, you can reload your game to change Joan's Menu.

Weather is another random result, but I am not certain how far in advance it is set. I believe it is set only on the prior day, but I need to confirm this. So far, in the first couple of seasons I have not found any one who predicts the Weather in Zephyr Town.

One more random result exists with respect to the Ore Stones found in the river. The result is loaded into the game at the moment that you hit the Ore Stone with your hammer. It is advisable, therefore, to wait until 6.00 a.m. to smash any Ore Stones in your possession. If the item contains nothing but Scrap Metal, you can reload your game and try again without wasting any energy or time.


Local Shops and Businesses


When you first arrive at Zephyr Village, there will be three local businesses. These are Raul's Shop, Joan's Cafe and the local Hotel. You can buy or sell items either at the Cafe or at Raul's Shop if you need money but as previously indicated, it is best to save as many items as possible for your Stall at the weekly Bazaar. Bazaars are held by default on Saturdays but if a Festival or Birthday occurs on any Saturday, the Bazaar usually will be held on Sunday instead. As previously indicated, the Calendar on your Wall will display all Festivals, Birthdays and Bazaar Days for five Seasons.


Raul's Shop


Raul's Shop
Open 7.00 a.m. - 11.00 p.m.
Closed Fridays and Bazaar Days

At the start of the first Spring, Raul will sell only Turnip Seeds and Fertiliser. You can sell any items to him if you wish, although it is best always to save as many items as possible for your Stall at the Bazaar.

As you make progress, items will be added to his Menu. When you purchase a Chick, for example, he will begin to sell Chicken Feed as well as Animal Medicine. When you purchase a Cow or Sheep, he will sell Fodder. When you have purchased your first Pet, he will begin to sell Pet Food as well.

Turnip Seeds: 120G
Can harvest 4-5 days after plantiing. Can only be harvested once.

Fertiliser: 10G

Animal Medicine: 500G
Use it on a sick animal to cure them.

Chicken Feed: 80G
Feed for chickens. Use it to feed them when they can't go outside.

Fodder: 70G
Feed for cows and sheep. For when they can't graze.

Pet Food: 150G
Food for cats and dogs. Use it in the trough in the corner of your room.


Summer Seeds


On the last day of Spring, you will find only Spring Seeds at the shop, but on the first day of Summer in the first year, the Turnip Seeds will be replaced with:

Radish Seeds: 200G
Summer Crop. Can harvest 4-5 Days after planting. Can only be harvested once.

On the first day of Autumn, the Radish Seeds will be replaced with:

Eggplant: 200G
Fall Crop. Can harvest 8-10 Days after planting. Can reharvest in 4 Days.

In the Winter Season, the only farming item sold by Raul will be Fertiliser. All other Seeds for any Season will be found at the Bazaar.


Zephyr Cafe


Zephyr Cafe
Open 10.00 a.m. - 11.00 p.m.
Closed Thursday and Bazaar Days

At the Zephyr Cafe in the first couple of weeks in Spring, you probably will find only two Dishes on the Menu. These are chosen randomly. By purchasing any Cooked Dish for the first time, you will 'learn' the Recipe from Joan and find it in your Cookbook both in your Kitchen and in the Assets Menu in your Bookshelf. The Cooked Dishes found at Joan's Stall at the Bazaar are chosen randomly as well, but may be different from those you have found at the Cafe. It always is a good idea to look at her Menu on a daily basis, both at the Cafe and at the weekly Bazaar.

Early Dishes that appear randomly on Joan's Menu both at the Cafe and the Bazaar include: Rice Ball, Cabbage Rolls, Fish Paste, Fried Rice Ball, Yakisoba, Pancake, Donut, Pudding, Straight Tea, Milk Tea, Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Cake. You will not be able to make many of these Dishes in your Kitchen in the first Spring.

The prices of Cooked Dishes sold by Joan is included in the Kitchen Recipe Section of this Guide.

Note that all Joan's Dishes tend to be only 1/2 Star in quality, while Dishes made in your Kitchen usually will have far higher rank.

Spring Harmony Day occurs on 14 Spring in Grand Bazaar and neither Chocolates nor plain Cookies are recognised as a Spring Harmony Gift by any Eligible Girls if your Character is male. Joan usually sells both Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Cake on that day, however, so if you wish to give Spring Harmony Day Gifts to all the Girls in the first Spring, save a little money and buy four portions of Chocolate Cookies from Joan.

Chocolate Cookies are less expensive than Chocolate Cake but have equal 'value' as far as Harmony Day Gifts are concerned. Ironically, if your Character is a Girl, Eligible Bachelors at lower Heart Levels will give you plain Cookies instead of Chocolate Cookies as a Festival offering but your own Character if a Boy is restricted to Chocolate Cookies or Chocolate Cake.

Whenever you purchase a Cooked Dish from Joan, she will teach you the Recipe for the Dish and it will be added automatically to your Cookbook. The problem here is that Recipes seldom include descriptions of the Utensils required to make them although you will see a little prompt at the top of the screen to the effect that you do not own the necessary Cookware when you have chosen all ingredients for a Cooked Dish that requires a Utensil and do not possess that Utensil. Although many Recipes require no special Cookware, others do. If you wonder why you cannot make Straight Tea from the Straight Tea tin brought up from the River, it is because all Teas must be made in a Pot. Herb Salad needs to be made in a Pot as well. A Boiled Egg, on the other hand, can be made without any special Utensils. It is not based on any simple logic and indeed, there are cases, such as the Recipe for Fried Eggs, where the written description speaks of frying pans when no such Cookware is required. The Utensils required to prepare any Dish are included in the Kitchen Recipes section of this Guide as well as my special Grand Bazaar Cookbook Recipes Guide.


Hotel


Hotel
Open 6.00 a.m. - 11.00 p.m.
Open every day!

The Hotel is the location where Stuart, Ethel and Daisy live. On Wednesdays, Sherry substitutes for Daisy and can be found performing the maid's services in the lobby.

In the first Winter, Amir will appear in Zephyr Town and will stay in one of the Guest Rooms on the upper floor of the Hotel. On Bazaar Days, you will find the children of customers playing in the lobby, although they will not be added to the List of Characters in your Farm Assets Menu.

The Hotel is used mainly for Multiplayer Mode when all visitors as well as the host, will meet there at the start of the game and stay there each night during the session.


Foraging


In the first Spring, you can find a wide variety of items throughout the Village. These can be sold either at any local shop or from your Stall at the weekly Bazaar. They can be given as Gifts and some can be used as ingredients in Cooked Dishes. There are 'drop spots' where you will find items again and again. One is in the northwest corner of the Meadow above your Farmhouse.

Items that you can find in Spring include Moondrop, Toy Flower, Chamomile, Mint, Walnuts, Shitake, Honeycomb, Weeds, Branches, Rocks, insects of various varieties, including Butterflies and Coins of different types.

Using the 'A' Button to leap will allow you to reach areas that are inaccessible by walking. You can leap from a barrel to gain height. In some cases, you will be able to find a new shortcut by leaping.

Insects can be caught with the bare hands by using the 'B' Button, even when they are flying insects such as Butterflies. As soon as you catch any insect, you will be given a choice as to whether you wish to keep it or release it. Insects that you keep will be given little wicker cages. A few Characters are happy to receive an Insect as a Gift. Kevin, in particular, adores Insects of all types.

Some of the items that you find when foraging will be available throughout the year, but others are seasonal in nature. Walnuts and Honeycomb can be found year-round as can Branches, Rocks and Weeds.

If you leap into the river, you may find an Item, but your will lose Stamina as well in the effort. Items that are found in the River throughout the year include Sea Urchins, Small Coins, Ore Stones, Gold Ore, Straight Tea Tins, Branches and Empty Can.

If you find an Item in the water, an Exclamation Point will appear over your Character's head with a prompt:

Huh? Something caught in your clothes when you fell in the water.

The items that are seasonal are as follows:


Spring

Branch*, Rock*, Weed
Walnut *
Moondrop Flower
Toy Flower
Magic Blue Flower
Chamomile
Mint*
Shitake
Coins*

*All Seasons


Summer

Note that, although Ore Stones can be found in the river in all Seasons, it is only during the Winter Season that you can find them on the ground or inside Snowballs when you throw them.


From the River

Empty Can
Small Coin
Branch
Ore Stone
Gold Ore
Sea Urchin
Straight Tea Tin


Winter Foraging


Winter is quite different from other seasons in most Harvest Moon games. The ground will be frozen, allowing you to grow no Crops on your field. If you have a Greenhouse, you can grow Crops from any Season using the corresponding seasonal Sun but otherwise, you will be required to take a break from farming until the Spring thaw.

The River will be frozen but wherever you see cracks in the ice, you can use your Hammer to smash the ice. A fairly large hole will appear, allowing you to dive for items or fish.

Fish that can be caught with your basic Fishing Rod during Winter include Crucian Carp and Smelt.

Iin Winter, you can find Snowballs on the ground. They contain random items, including Ore Stones, Cooked Dishes and Flowers from every Season.

Snowball: Throw it and you might find something inside.

Often, however, a Snowball will contain nothing at all.

Freyja found a Curry Dumpling in one on the second day of Winter.

In Winter, a multitude of Grasshoppers can be found on the ground on every screen. Ore Stones and Coins can be found throughout the Map as well on the ground. Mint and Lavender can be found throughout the Map in Winter.

Throughout the year, a little sparkle on the ground denotes the presence of a Coin, but in Winter, you will see other sparkles as well that are nothing but ice reflecting the light. You still will be able to find Coins but not all sparkles in Winter denote hidden treasure!


Festivals


Festivals are an important aspect of your life in Zephyr Town and in many cases, offer an opportunity to raise friendship Levels.

There are both community Festivals and Romantic Festivals in Grand Bazaar. Romantic Festivals tend to be the traditional Harvest Moon Festivals, including Spring and Winter Harmony Day Festivals and the Starry Night Festival.

In some Harvest Moon or Rune Factory games, the Harmony Day Festivals, sometimes known as the Thanksgiving Festivals, can be occasions for gift-giving to ALL members of the opposite gender and therefore can be considered community Festivals as well as Romantic Festivals. This is not the case in Grand Bazaar. Only members of the opposite gender will recognise a specific Gift as a Harmony Day Gift on the appointed date. If you give the Gift to a Character who is not Eligible for Marriage, he/she will make the same Response to that Item as on any other Day. Moreover, other Characters will not speak of the Harmony Day Festival at all.

The only other Character who will recognise the date, albeit not with dialogue, is Joan, who will sell Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Cake on both the Spring Harmony Festival and Winter Harmony Festival. Furthermore, it is important to realise that tese are the ONLY Items that are recognised as Harmony Day Gifts in Grand Bazaar. You cannot give Chocolate or regular Cookies/Cake to an Eligible Girl/Bachelor and expect these Gifts to be recognised as Harmony Day Gifts as you can in other Harvest Moon/Rune Factory games.

It is interesting to note that other Characters can give ordinary Cookies/Cake in their Visits on the Spring or Winter Harmony Day Festival! Ordinary Cookies represent a low Heart Level, however, and as Heart Levels increase, will be replaced with Chocolate Cookies or Chocolate Cake.


Community Festivals


In many Harvest Moon/Rune Factory games, community Festivals will have a number of different venues. In Grand Bazaar, all Community Festivals as well as all Announcement Events occur at the Town Square.

There are two different varieties of Community Festival in Grand Bazaar. The first is a Community Feast of some kind where the entire Community will enjoy a special Dish. The Tea Party and Wine Festivals are examples of this. For these Festivals, your Character is expected to bring the special Dish/Drink, but in the first Year, Felix will deliver this to your farmhouse at 6.00 a.m. a few days prior to the Festival.

If you are clever, you can substitute a different Item for the actual Festival. For the Tea Party, instead of using the Spring Tea Leaves he gives to you, you could use Straight Tea to brew some Tea in your Kitchen as your contribution. For the Wine Festival in the first Year, you could make Chicha with Potato and Yogurt or Tomato Wine using the Red Wine with a Tomato. The only problem with the Wine substitution is that fermentation in these cases is a slow process, even if you speed the Windmill by blowing into the Microphone. You should make the substitution drink before Felix delivers the Red Wine in order to have it ready in time for the Wine Festival.

Although the Community Feast Festivals are not Contests, you will receive a reward in the form of a special Item when you participate in the Event. The default Item for the Tea Party is Apple Pie, but if you contribute a different sort of Tea, you will receive a different Item at the end of the Festival.

The second type of community Festival is a Contest. There are Animal Contests of various sorts as well as the two-part Cooking Contest.

A new activity will be introduced in Winter in the form of Snowboarding. Felix should appear at 6.00 a.m. on the second day of Winter to give you a Snowboard and announce the completion of the Course. It is the winding track that begins at the Hot Spring on the Hotel Screen. He then will urge you to practice for the upcoming Tournament on 20 Winter. You now will be able to find a Skateboard for sale for use in other Seasons at the Weekly Bazaar


Spring Festivals


In Spring, you will experience the Flower Festival, the first Spring Harmony Day and the Tea Party on 30 Spring. Both are community Festivals. The Flower Festival ostensibly is a Contest, but there is no reward apart from Friendship.

The Flower Festival is a four-day affair. You should try to give one Flower each day to every Character if possible. If it rains, you may be hard-pressed to replenish your stock of Flowers, but although the individual who gives the most Flowers will be announced to be the 'winner' at the end of the Festival, the real purpose of this Festival is to raise Heart Levels. Even individuals who ordinarily do not like Flowers or are indifferent to them will accept them happily during the Flower Festival.

The Spring Harmony Day is the Harvest Moon equivalent of St. Valentine's Day but is gender-specific. Although the description of the Festival on the Calendar states that it is the day when Boys give Chocolate to Girls, only Chocolate Cookies will be recognised as a Harmony Day Gift by any Girl in Grand Bazaar.. If your Character is a Boy, you should give Chocolate Cookies to all the Eligible Girls. If your Character is a Girl, you will receive Visits from each of the Eligible Boys according to a set schedule. In order to experience the Visit, you need to re-enter your House during the hour designated for the Visit. Even Bachelors at Black Heart Level will give Cookies in the first Spring.

The Tea Party on 30 Spring is reminiscent of the Sprites' Spring Tea Party in older Harvest Moon games. Here, however, it is your Character who supplies the Tea for the entire Village. In the first Spring, you will receive a visit from Mayor Felix a few days prior to the Event. He will provide you with Spring Tea Leaves. You can give them to him at noon on the day of the Festival. If you wish, however, you can transform them into Green Tea by using the Windmill. Note that tins of Straight Tea can be found by diving into the River and one can be given to Felix as your contribution to the Tea Party instead of the Spring Tea Leaves.

After you have been thanked for providing the Tea for the Festival, Joan will give you a piece of Apple Pie. You can use it as a Gift, consume it or sell it at your Stall at the next Bazaar.

Apple Pie (2 1/2 Stars):
A classic pie. Slightly sour apples are best.

As indicated in the section on Community Festivals, supplying a different type of Tea will result in a different Reward.

There are a number of Festivals throughout the Year that follow this pattern. The next community feast is the Wine Festival. In the first year, Felix will supply you with Red Wine to share with the village. If you attend and give him Red Wine, Claude afterwards will give you Good Herb Cheese to take home. A different variety of Wine will result in a different Reward.


Romantic Festivals



Spring Harmony Day


The Harmony Day Festivals are gender-specific. If your Character is a Boy, you will be expected to give Chocolate Cookies or Chocolate Cake on the occasion of the Spring Harmony Day Festival. In the first Spring, you will be able to purchase either or both from Joan. They both elicit the same Response so it is better, in the interests of saving money, to purchase the Chocolate Cookies.

If your Character is a Girl, you will receive scheduled Visits from each of the Eligible Bachelors when you re-enter your farmhouse at specific hours in the morning. In the first Spring before Amir arrives in Zephyr Town, the last visitor will arrive between 11.00 a.m. and 11.59 a.m. If you do not enter your Farmhouse at each of the specified hours, you will miss the Visit.


Spring Harmony Day as a Boy


When you awaken: Today is Harmony Day! Give a chocolaty treat to that special some one!
Although the items on Joan's menu usually are random, on Harmony Day in the file where my Character was a Boy, her menu featured both Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Cake.

Chocolate Cookies: 600G
Cookies with chocolate. Irresistible.

Their Responses will be as follows:

Sherry: A Harmony Day gift? Thank you! I hope you're looking forward to winter's Harmony Day!

Freya: Oh, for Harmony Day? Thank you, Freyr. You're sweet. (red heart)

Antoinette: Huh. A Harmony Day present? Uh... thanks.

Daisy: Yay! (red heart) A Harmony Day gift! Thank you! You're so sweet!

Once Emiko appears, she will be eligible for a Harmony Day Gift as well.


Spring Harmony Day as a Girl


If your Character is a Girl, you will receive the following Visits:

If your Character is a Girl, you should receive Cookies from every Bachelor, even in the first Spring when they probably remain at Black Heart Level. At high Levels, I expect the Bachelors give Chocolate Cookies instead. This was the case in Island of Happiness and Sunshine Islands.

The Cookies will be delivered by each Bachelor according to a set schedule as follows:

8.00 a.m.: Visit from Ivan
9.00 a.m. Visit from Dirk
10.00 a.m. Visit from Lloyd
11.00 a.m. Visit from Angelo

Re-enter your Farmhouse at these times to trigger the Visit Event for each of the Bachelors.

Once Amir arrives in Zephyr Town, his visit will be scheduled for noon.

The Events are as follows:

Today is Harmony Day! Will you get a present?

Harmony Day:

8.00 a.m.:

??? Freyja, do you have a minute?
Me: ?
Ivan: Freia, It's Harmony Day today. I brought this gift for you.

He gives me Cookies.

Ivan: Well, I should go. Take care.

At 9.00 a.m., I re-enter the House to experience the next Event:

??? You have a minute, Freia?

Me: ?

Dirk: Freyja, it's Harmony Day. (laughing) So here's a present from me to you!

He gives me Cookies.

Dirk: Well, I gotta go. Take care, Freyja!

10.00 a.m.

Lloyd: Today's Harmony Day. You know that, right? Freyja, this is my gift to you. Goodbye.

11.00 a.m.

??? Freyja, can I speak with you?

Me: ?

Angelo: It's Harmony Day. So I got this gift for you, Freyja.

He gives me cookies.

Angelo: Well, I'm sure that you're busy, Freyja. I'll see you around!


Winter Harmony Day


If your Character is a Girl, Winter Harmony Day on 14 Winter is the occasion to give Cookies, CHocolate Cookies or Chocolate Cake to the Eligible Bachelors in the game.
As on Spring Harmony Day, Joan will sell both Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Cake at the Cafe on this date..

If your Character is a Boy, you will receive scheduled Visits from each of the Eligible Girls, similar to the Visits that a Girl Character received on the Spring Harmony Day.


Winter Harmony Day


Winter Harmony Day on 14 Winter is the Festival wherein Girls give Gifts to Eligible Bachelors.

If your Character is a Girl, when you first awaken, you will receive a prompt: Today is Harmony Day! Give a chocolaty treat to that special some one!

As on the Spring Harmony Day, Joan will sell both Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Cake. Both Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Cookies will be recognised as Harmony Day Gifts, but ordinary Cookies will not be considered as such.

I tested this by giving Angelo Cookies. He simply responded with his usual:

Angelo: Wow! Thank you very much.

For Chocolate Cookies or Chocolate Cake, on the other hand, his Response was:

Angelo: Wow, is this for Harmony Day? This is great! Thank you very much, Freyja!

Give one or the other to each of the Eligible Bachelors to raise their Heart Levels and as a return for the Gifts they brought to you on the Spring Harmony Day.

The Harmony Day Responses of each of the Bachelors is:

Ivan: This is for...? (ah!) Ah, that's right, today is Harmony Day. Thank you very much, Freyja.

Dirk: Huh? Is this for me? (laughing) Oh, for Harmony Day! Thanks, Freyja!

Lloyd (coughing) Oh, for Harmony Day? Thanks, Freyja.

Angelo: Wow, is this for Harmony Day? This is great! Thank you very much, Freyja!

Amir: For me? Ah, right. Harmony Day. That's a tradition around here, isn't it? Thank you, Freyja.


Courtship and Romance


The main distinctiion between the Boy version and the Girl version of Grand Bazaar is in terms of Courtship and Marriage. Heart Events will differ obviously according to your Character's gender but Rival Heart Events will be the same in both games.

A successful Courtship requires regular social interactions. Giving a prospective Spouse Gifts that he/she loves as often as possible will raise Heart Levels fairly quickly but even if you are unable to give some one a Most Favourite or Favourite Item, regular Dialogue is important. In fact, if you neglect any individual in Grand Bazaar, he/she will refuse your Gifts!

Heart Events and Rival Heart Events are romantic Events that occur either between your Character and an Eligible Girl or Bachelor or between the Eligible Girl or Bachelor and your Rival for his/her affections. The first Heart Event has no requirements in terms of Heart Level but subsequent Heart Events do. Where Rival Heart Events are concerned, there is a 'ceiling' in terms of the Heart Level of the Eligible Girl/Bachelor. If the Eligible Girl or Bachelor's Heart Level exceeds a specific Level, you no longer will be able to experience the Rival Heart Event. In terms of the 1st Rival Heart Event, the basic Requirement is that the Eligible Girl/Bachelor has not attained Purple Heart Level. Once Purple Heart level is reached, you no longer will be able to experience the 1st Rival Heart Event.

Although Rival Couples do not marry in Grand Bazaar, Harvest Moon games are enriched by the Events that can occur and it always is a pity to miss any Event. You may wish to be a little more cautious about raising Heart Levels until you have experience the first Rival Heart Events for each couple. Note that there are a couple of Festivals in the Spring Season that are geared towards Friendship/Affection increases. The first of these is the four-day Flower Festivla and the second is Spring Harmony Day. The Tea Party at the end of the month is another occasion to increase the Friendship Levels of every one in the village.

If you do not raise any one's Heart Level too quickly, you should be able to experience all of the 1st Heart Events and Rival Heart Events iin the first Spring provided always that you go to the right location at the right time. Many of these Events do have weather requirements and will not occur on days when the weather is bad. Events will not occur on Bazaar Days or Festival Days either. Delays may occur, therefore, for any Event that can be triggered only on Saturday or Sunday as Bazaars tend to be scheduled on weekend days.

If you do raise Heart Levels too quickly to be able to experience the 1st Rival Heart Event for any Rival Couple, you always can wait until you have experienced all four Heart Events, then lower the Heart Level of the Eligible Girl;/Bachelor in order to be able to trigger the Rival Events. The next section of this Guide deals with this strategy in detail.

As previously indicated, in Grand Bazaar, unlike some of the other Harvest Moon games, although Rival Heart Events occur, the Rival Couple NEVER will marry. You therefore have no real Rival in terms of any aspirations to marry a specific Eligible Girl or Bachelor.

Another aspect of Grand Bazaar Courtship that is different from some traditional Harvest Moon Courtship requirements is an added requirement for each Eligible Girl and Bachelor to raise the Heart Levels of specific Villagers before any proposal of marriage will be accepted.

These involve the Eligible Girl or Bachelor's Family or another individual who is treated like a family member and are as follows:

Ivan: Must have at least 3 Hearts with Dirk for a successful proposal
Dirk: Must have at least 3 Hearts with Ivan for a successful proposal
Lloyd: Must have at least 3 Hearts with Felix and Sherry for a successful proposal

Sherry: Must have at least 3 Hearts with Felix and Lloyd for a successful proposal
Antoinette: Must have at least 3 Hearts with Claude for a successful proposal
Daisy: Must have at least 3 Hearts with Stuart and Ethel for a successful proposal

There are Friendship Events in Grand Bazaar with Heart Level requirements. As in any Harvest Moon game, it is a good idea to raise the Heart/Friendship Levels of ALL Characters as high as possible ultimately in order to be able to experience all Events.

The only exception to this strategy is the need for low Heart Levels if you wish to experience the Rival Heart Events. The next section of this Guide deals with strategies for raising and lowering Heart Levels.

The text of all Heart and Rival Heart Events will be found in my Courtship and Marriage Guide in the sections that deal with each of the Eligible Girls and/or Bachelors involved in the Events.

As discussed earlier, Heart Events actively involve only your Character and an Eligible Girl or Bachelor even if other Characters are present. There is a point in the Event where you will be required to make a choice between two Responses. The Response that you choose will affect the Character's Heart Level either positively or negatively. In Grand Bazaar, unlike most other Harvest Moon games, in some of the Heart Events, although one Response may be better than the other, often neither is truly negative. Both results are included in the text of any Heart Event.

Rival Heart Events, on the other hand, involve only the Eligible Girl or Bachelor and your Rival for his/her affections. You will witness the Event but not be an active participant in it. There may be other peripheral Characters in the Event but the main Characters are the Eligible Girl/Bachelor and your Rival.

If you choose the incorrect response in the course of any Heart Event, it may decrease the Heart Level of the Eligible Girl/Bachelor but it will not prevent you from experiencing the next Heart Event nor from marrying the individual when all requirements are met. If you feel that you made the wrong response, you can reload your game to experience the day again with any Events that can be triggered, but once you have saved any result, you will not be able to experience that Event again.

The correct Response will result in an increase to the Heart Level of the Eligible Girl/Bachelor. The incorrect Response will result in a loss of Affection Points but as previously indicated, it will not prevent you from marriage. It simply will delay the next Heart Event as you will be required to regain the Affection you lost.

The purchase of the traditional Harvest Moon 'Big Bed' is a requirement for Marriage. After marriage, you can have a Child although the Child never will become an adult.

Remembering Birthdays with a Gift is important in winning friends and pursuing the courtship of any Eligible Girl or Bachelor.

Stuart will advise you: Freyja, love is great. If you find somebody special, give them presents every single day. You can find out what they like from their friends, you know.

At the weekly Bazaar an unnamed Character has a Gift-Wrapping Stall where she will wrap any item for you for 200G. Every Character has a favourite colour and gift-wrapping is available in three colours.

Gift Wrap Lady: Every one has their favourite wrapping paper colour.

Giving an item that an individual particularly likes wrapped in his/her favourite colour will boost its value in terms of advancing friendship or courtship. Note, however, that an individual you have neglected will not accept ANY Gift so you should 'meet and greet' individuals on a daily basis even if you cannot give them items they love.

Cooked Dishes often are more desirable Gifts to certain Characters than items you have collected, Crops or other raw ingredients, although Flowers are popular with many, as they are in every Harvest Moon game.

The Cooked Dishes sold at Joan's Stall at the Bazaar as well as those on the Menu at her Cafe are chosen randomly so you should be alert for new Dishes.. Any Cooked Dish you purchase will be given to you as an actual item, so you can sell it, consume it or give it to some one as a Gift. Whenever you purchase a Cooked Dish, Joan will 'teach' you the Recipe. Buying Cooked Dishes therefore is one method of adding to your Cookbook.

During the Flower Festival, you should give every one Flowers if you are able to do so. Even individuals who ordinary do not care much for Flowers will receive them happily during the Flower Festival.

On a Character's Birthday, he/she will be happy to receive items as Gifts that ordinarily would not excite him/her.

When you give any Character a wrapped Gift, his/her first Response will be one of excitement and anticipation of unwrapping and discovering the identity of the Gift. The second Response will be the usual response that the Character makes to the specific item you are giving.

At the start of the game, if your Character is a Boy, there will be four Eligible Girls, namely Freya, Sherry, Antoinette and Daisy.. If your Character is a Girl, there will be four Eligible Bachelors in the form of Ivan, his brother Dirk, Angelo and Lloyd.. Later, a new Eligible Girl in the form of Emiko if your Character is a Boy or another Bachelor, Amir, if your Character is a Girl will be added to the list. Note that both Amir and Emiko will be added to the Characters List irrespective of your own gender. Amir will be introduced on 3 Winter by Mayor Felix. You have to investigate the Waterfall in the second year if you wish to meet Emiko.


Raising Heart Levels


Special Events in Harvest Moon usually are based on the Heart Levels of the participants. Events that occur between your Character and a Character who is eligible for Marriage are known as Heart Events. Those that occur between Characters eligible for Marriage and your Rival are known as Rival Heart Events.

Grand Bazaar follows traditional Harvest Moon Courtship rituals in the number of Heart and Rival Heart Events that exist for any Character. There are four Heart Events and four Rival Heart Events for each Character who is eligible for Marriage, apart from Amir and Emiko, for whom you will have no Rival.

Heart Events have Heart Level requirements. Until an Eligible Girl/Bachelor reaches the required Heart Level, designated by a coloured Heart Icon on his/her Portrait, you will be unable to expeirence the next Heart Event. You must experience all four Heart Events for an Eligible Girl/Bachelor if you wish to marry him/her.

Rival Heart Events have Heart Level requirements as well but these, in opposition to Heart Events, depend on low Heart Levels rather than high ones. If you EXCEED the required Heart Level for any Rival Heart Event, you no longer will be able to experience it.

Gifts that are given to Characters either raise or lower Affection/Friendship Levels, so it is possible to lower the Heart Level of an Eligible Girl/Bachelor in order to experience the Rival Heart Events.

Rival Heart Events are year-specific, unlike Heart Events. The reason for this is to give your Character an advantage in games where the Rival can steal your intended spouse. In Harvest Moon games where Rival Couples can marry, the fourth and final Rival Heart Event cannot occur before the fourth year. You therefore have three full years to win the affections of the Eligible Girl/Bachelor before he/she can accept your Rival instead.

Even though there are no Rival Marriages in Grand Bazaar, Rival Heart Events follow the traditional Harvest Moon formulae. The first Rival Heart Event can occur in the first year, but each successive Rival Heart Event is delayed by another year. In other words, the 2nd Rival Heart Event cannot occur before the 2nd Year. The 3rd Rival Heart Event cannot occur before the 3rd Year and the fourth and final Rival Heart Event cannot occur before the 4th Year.

Players who like to expeirence all possible Events in any Harvest Moon game therefore either will delay marriage until the fourth year or will choose to marry Amir or Emiko, Characters for whom there is no Rival.

A player who wishes to experience all Heart Events for any Eligible Girl/Bachelor usually will raise Heart Levels to Yellow Heart Level as quickly as possible, experiencing the four Heart Events before he/she begins to lowers Heart Levels in order to be able to experience the Rival Heart Events. Players often refer to this strategy as 'playing with Heart Levels'. For each Eligible Girl/Bachelor, there is one Gift worth 800 points and one that is worth -1000 points. These items allow a player to raise or lower Heart Levels quickly.

Apart from the Heart Events and Rival Heart Events that are linked to the Characters who are Eligible for Marriage, most Harvest Moon games, including Grand Bazaar, contain Friendship Events. Although some players refer to them as 'Random Events', they are not random at all, but depend on fulfilling specific requirements.

The most important Requirement in any Friendship Event is Friendship Level or Heart Level. In Grand Bazaar, the lowest Friendship Level Requirement is 4 Hearts or 30,000 FP. You can find the current Friendship or Affection Level of any Character by accessing the Characters Page in your Farm Assets Menu.

Although some Friendship Events will occur when all participants reach 30,000 FP or 4 Hearts, others require 9 Hearts or 60,000 FP. You will find the schedules of all Friendship Events in my Grand Bazaar Characters Guide.


Friendship Point Values


Specific point values are attached to each interaction in Grand Bazaar, even if you never can see the precise totals you have earned. The only way that the player can gauge current Heart/Friendship Levels is according to the number of 'Hearts' displayed in the Farm Assets Menu. If the Character is Eligible for Marriage, his/her Portrait will include a coloured Heart Icon. These 'Hearts' span quite a few Affection/Friendship Points, however, and are not precise indicators.

The values of social interactions are as follows:

Meeting and Greeting an Individual: 100 Points

Daily Gift-Giving is the other way by which Affection/Friendship Points can be earned on a daily basis. The value of the Gift is based on the degree of liking that the recipient has for it. Values are as follows:

Most Favourite Gift: +800 AP/FP
Ordinary Favourites: +500 AP/FP
Loved Gifts: +150 AP/FP
Acceptable/Liked Gifts: +50 AP/FP
Disliked Gifts: -200 AP/FP
Detested Gifts: -500 AP/FP
Gift of Utter Horror: -1000 AP/FP

As you can see, even if you cannot give an Item that a Character loves, an Acceptable Gift, coupled with a daily 'meeting and greeting' ritual, earns +150 AP/FP with the Individual.

On a Character's Birthday, the Value of any Gift is multiplied. A Birthday Gift's values are:

Most Favourite Gift: +4000 FP
Ordinary Favourites: +2500 FP
Loved Gifts: +750 FP
Acceptable/Liked Gifts: +250 FP
Disliked Gifts: -1000 FP
Detested Gifts: -2500 FP
Gift of Utter Horror: -5000 FP

If you study the values, you will note that the negative value of unwanted Gifts are multiplied when given on a Character's Birthday.

Gift-Wrapping is an Option in Grand Bazaar and can enhance the value of an Item significantly.

As described in an earlier section of this Guide, each Character has a favourite colour of Wrapping Paper. Unfortunately, the only opportunity to wrap an Item as a Gift is at the Weekly Bazaar but if you have the storage space for them, the values of these Gifts are increased significantly. The Gift-Wrapping Service for any Item in your Rucksack costs 200G. Wrapped Gifts each occupy a single slot in your Rucksack or Storage. Wrapped Gifts of any colour have the following values:

Most Favourite Gift: +1000 FP
Ordinary Favourites: +600 FP
Loved Gifts: +250 FP
Acceptable/Liked Gifts: +150 FP
Disliked Gifts: -300 FP
Detested Gifts: -600 FP
Gift of Utter Horror: -1200 FP

When the Gift is wrapped in a Character's favourite Colour, the value is boosted even higher:

Most Favourite Gift: +1100 FP
Ordinary Favourites: +700 FP
Loved Gifts: +350 FP
Acceptable/Liked Gifts: +250 FP
Disliked Gifts: -400 FP
Detested Gifts: -700 FP
Gift of Utter Horror: -1300 FP

A Wrapped Birthday Gift has an even higher value, combining the Birthday Gift Bonus with the Gift-Wrapping Bonus. Any colour of wrapping for a Birthday Gift results in the following values:

Most Favourite Gift: +6000 FP
Ordinary Favourites: +3000 FP
Loved Gifts: +1050 FP
Acceptable/Liked Gifts: +350 FP
Disliked Gifts: -1300 FP
Detested Gifts: -3000 FP
Gift of Utter Horror: -15,000 FP

A Birthday Gift wrapped in a Character's Favourite Colour has the highest values of all:

Most Favourite Gift: +6100 FP
Ordinary Favourites: +3100 FP
Loved Gifts: +1150 FP
Acceptable/Liked Gifts: +450 FP
Disliked Gifts: -1400 FP
Detested Gifts: -3100 FP
Gift of Utter Horror: -15,100 FP


The Advantages of Friendship


The advantages of Friendship in any Harvest Moon game are practical as well as emotionally satisfying. Characters often will confide interesting or vital information when their Friendship Levels increase. In terms of Courtship and Marriage, raising Heart Levels is essential but even where Characters who are not Eligible for Marriage are concerned, raising Heart Levels can unlock special Events known appropriately as Friendship Events. Grand Bazaar has almost thirty Friendship Events. The schedules and requirements for each of these Events is included in my Characters Guide.


The Blue Feather


The Blue Feather is a traditional item that is the necessary accompaniment to any Marriage Proposal in most Harvest Moon games. In some games, it is sold at a local Market when your Character achieves a specific Heart Level, usually Orange, with any Eligible Girl or Bachelor. In other games, it is a Gift from another Character.

In Grand Bazaar, it is Stuart and Ethel who will bring the Blue Feather to your Farmhouse when any Bachelor or Eligible Girl has reached Orange Heart, but their visit will not occur before Spring in the second year.

On the first day of the 2nd Year, if you have any Bachelor or Eligible Girl at Orange Heart Level or higher, you may receive a visit from Stuart and Ethel when you re-enter your Farmhouse after 6.00 a.m. Note that the Event will not occur when you first awaken or when you LEAVE your Farmhouse for the first time, unlike other Farmhouse Events in Grand Bazaar.

The Blue Feather you are given is the one that Stuart used to propose successfully to Ethel many years previously. In the course of the Event, Stuart will declare:

Stuart: The feather won't do it all. You have to have a good relationship with the person and their friends and family.

My Grand Bazaar Courtship and Marriage Guide includes details as to the specific Characters who must have at least three Hearts if you wish to propose successfully to any Eligible Girl or Bachelor.



Easiest Gifts List:


Although Characters often have 'Most Favourite Gifts' that they appreciate more than others, it is quite sufficient to give a Character a Gift he/she simply likes as long as you do this on a regular basis. At the start of the game, your Character's resources will be very limited and a primary focus in terms of items probably will be in terms of generating sales at the weekly Bazaar. Nonetheless, there are inexpensive items that serve well to increase friendship and affection with Characters.

The Easiest Gifts List is a list of items that are neither particularly valuable nor difficult to obtain. They may not be a Character's Most Favourite Gift in most cases, but when an individual 'Loves' the item, it is a very good Gift. When a Character simply 'Likes' the Item, it still will increase Friendship/Heart Levels and is better than no Gift at all. Remember that it is better to 'meet and greet' every individual, even if you have NO Gift to offer than to ignore any one.

A true 'Most Favourite Gift' is worth more than Gifts that a Character Loves or Likes. One usually can tell when a Gift is a 'Most Favourite' by the Character's Response, which may mention the Item by name instead of simply declaring that he/she loves it or likes it very much.

An example of a true Most Favourite Gift is Herbal Perfume for Ivan. When you give this Item to Ivan, it will elicit the following response:

For Herb Perfume: This is herb perfume. What? I can have it? Thank you very much. I really love how this perfume smells.

Here are some easy and inexpensive Gifts with lists of the Individuals who will accept them happily:

Characters who Love Flowers: Daisy, Ivan, Emiko
Who Love Moondrop: Angelo, Claire, Sherry
Who Love Blue Magic Flower: Lloyd, Antoinette, Ethel
Who Love Red Magic Flower: Dirk, Raul, Mayor Felix
Who Love Locusts: Stuart

Characters who like Flowers: Sherry, Freya, Dirk, Angelo, Mayor, Ethel

Characters who Love Insects: Lloyd, Kevin
Who Love Beetles: Dirk
Who Love Butterflies: Freya, Sherry
Who Love Dragonflies: Cindy
Who Love Frogs: Antoinette

Characters who Like Insects: Dirk, Angelo, Ivan, Claude

Characters who Love Walnuts: Angelo, Daisy, Emiko

Characters who Love Chestnuts: Angelo, Daisy, Emiko

Characters who Love Sea Urchins: Claude

Characters who Like Rocks: Isaac, Wilbur

Characters who like Branches: Isaac, Wilbur

Characters who Love Fish:

Characters who Like Fish: Claude

Characters who Love Chocolate: Freya, Antoinette


Day by Day Heart Events/Rival Heart Events Calendar



Day by Day Heart Events/Rival Heart Events Calendar


This Calendar includes all Heart Events and Rival Heart Events for all Bachelors and Eligible Girls with the exception of Emiko. Emiko's Heart Events can occur on any Day of the Week in any Season, with the exception of her 4th Heart Event which will not occur in Winter when the Waterfall is frozen. Another reason I have not included Emiko's Events in this Day-by-Day Calendar is because each Event has a Gift total Requirement. You will find the schedule of her Heart Events with their Requirements in the section of this Guide that is devoted to Emiko.

There are two separate Day-by-Day Calendars here. The first lists all Heart and Rival Heart Events that have no Requirements in terms of Year. The second consists solely of Rival Heart Events for the second year and later. ANY Event that is listed in the Day-by-Day Calendar for the first year can be triggered in any subsequent year provided any and all Requirements have been met.

The difference between Heart Events and Rival Heart Events in terms of Heart Level Requirements often confuses players but if you view it logically, you will see that the Event requirements are based on the degree of Affection that the Eligible Girl or Bachelor has for your Character. Rival Heart Events will not trigger if the Heart Level of the Eligible Girl or Bachelor is TOO HIGH. As any Rival Heart Event deals with the relationship between the Eligible Girl/Bachelor and your Rival, it makes sense that he/she would not be interested in your Rival if his/her Affections are focused on your Character. Each successive Rival Heart Event brings your Rival closer to the Eligible Girl or Bachelor.

In Grand Bazaar, Rival Heart Events lead nowhere ultimately as there are no Rival Marriages so there is no reason to avoid them. At the same time, as they will not lead to any Rival Marriage, there is no compelling reason to experience them apart from being able to experience as many Events as possible.

Rival Heart Events always are 'year-specific'. It is only the first Rival Heart Event that can be experienced in the first year. To experience the 2nd Rival Heart Event, you must wait until the second year and make certain that you have not raised the Heart Level of the Eligible Girl/Bachelor too high.

The third Rival Heart Event cannot be experienced before the third year and the fourth and final Rival Heart Event will not trigger before the fourth Year.

If you wish to experience all Rival Heart Events, there are two main strategies for doing so. The first would be to raise the Heart Levels of any Character for whom a Rival exists VERY SLOWLY. This strategy is not practical for any one who likes to interact with all Characters often, remembering Birthdays and celebrating all Festivals.

The second strategy is the one that I employ and recommend. Go ahead and raise the Heart Levels of every Character as quickly as possible in order to be able to experience all Heart Events and other Events with Friendship requirements. Do not worry about the Rival Heart Events until you reach the fourth year.

Once you reach the fourth year, you can LOWER the Heart Levels of every Eligible Girl/Bachelor with a Rival and then effortlessly experience all four Rival Heart Events for each couple. By the fourth year, you should be able to obtain the 'Most Favourite Gift' for every Character without any trouble. As a Most Favourite Gift is worth +800 AP, you can raise Heart Levels again very quickly after experiencing all Rival Heart Events.

If you wish to marry before the 4th Year (and many players do), you either should choose Amir or Emiko (as they have no Rivals) or resign yourself to missing the Rival Heart Events for the Character you intend to marry.

In terms of Heart Events, there is no upper limit to Heart Levels. You can experience all four Heart Events for any Eligible Girl or Bachelor even if the individual is at deepest red Heart Level, if you did not experience them previously. Where Heart Events are concerned, the Heart Level requirements all stipulate a minimum Heart Level. This is very logical as each successive Heart Event presupposes a deeper level of affection between the Eligible Girl/Bachelor and your Character.

In the following Day-by-Day Calendar, unless Weather requirements are stated, you should assume that the Event can occur on any Sunny or Cloudy Day. NO Events will occur on the Days of Festivals or the Weekly Bazaar.

The sections devoted to each Eligible Girl/Bachelor include the actual texts of their Events. The following is merely a quick reference Calendar Guide to give players some idea of the Events that can occur on any specific day of the Week. An Event that can occur on more than one day, therefore, will be listed on each day that it can be triggered.

Unlocking the Windmills


Although the dates when new options are unlocked are set for the most part and occur in Events wherein a member of the community will visit you in your Home at 6.00 a.m., bad weather can intervene and delay an Event.

For example, the First Windmill usually will be unlocked on 24 Spring in the first year, but if it rains on that day, the Event should occur on the first sunny day after that date. Similarly, the 2nd Windmill should be unlocked after the Cow Festival, either on 16 Summer or 17 Summer. The third Windmill should be unlocked near the beginning of Autumn. There appears to be a window of opportunity for these Events that embraces about three days, so do not be alarmed if an Event does not occur on the date given in my Calendar.


Bazaar Day



Your Stall


Felix will give you a Tutorial on the first Bazaar Day at 6.00 a.m. and will give you 3 Chocolate as well to help with your inventory. You need not sell the Chocolate if you would rather use it for Gifts. You can substitute any Item and Felix will buy that instead during the Tutorial.

To set up your Stall, press the B Button first to ring the Bell, then open your Bag and choose three items from it. Any stack counts as a single item for purposes of display.

The Bazaar opens officially at 10.00 a.m., although you can enter earlier and set up your Stall. At 10.00 a.m., Felix makes an official Announcement to open the Bazaar, balloons are set loose in celebration and customers come through the northern arch in a noisy throng.

Although the Bazaar opens at 10.00 a.m., it is only your Stall that may be ready for business. Between the hour of 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m., you usually will not be able to buy items at any other Stall. At 11.00 a.m., you will find other Stalls open for business.

When the bell rings, customers who are interested will display an Exclamation Point. When they approach your Stall, they either will stand in front of an item, indicating quantity desired with the icon of a number or they will display (...) to show that you have nothing satisfactory, or they may engage you in dialogue by showing the icon of a face.

Prices paid for your items by other merchants if you seek to sell them at their stalls will be much lower than the price you can obtain at your Stall. Similarly, the price that Raul will pay at his Shop is lower than the price your item will be worth at your Stall. For example, if you sell an Egg to Lloyd at his Stall, he will pay only 80G but if you display it on your Stall, its price will be 130G. Lloyd pays 250G for a Sea Urchin with 1/2 Star, but you can sell it on your Stall for 400G. Lloyd similarly will pay only 5000G for a piece of Gold Ore that you can sell at your Stall for 8000G.

Although Felix will tell you that you cannot sell items that you have purchased at the Bazaar, Cooked Dishes purchased at the Cafe can be sold.

Incidentally, at each specific Bazaar Level, Items that vary appear to do so according to the Season and Week. For example, in Autumn, until the 22nd, Felix had Chocolate, Cat Bell and Dog Bone at his Stall. On 22 Autumn, the Truffle took the place of the Dog Bone.

Your initial Stall will have three slots for items. You can enlarge your Stall by making an Order with Gannon. You can enhance the range of your Bell by making and wearing a Yellow Ring. The Yellow Ring is an Advanced Windmill Recipe and you will not be able to fashion it until Wonderfuls become available at the Bazaar.


Initial Bazaar Stalls


When Felix announces the Goal of 15,000G - 20,000G, the Stalls and Items that will be sold are as follows:


Wrapping Stall


Players who lived in Mineral Town will recall the gift-wrapping option at Jeff's Supermarket. In Grand Bazaar, that option is available at the weekly Bazaar with an additional 'twist'. You can choose one of three different colours of wrapping paper. Characters all have their favourite colours, so you not only can earn bonus points with them by giving them a gift-wrapped item they particularly like but by wrapping it in their favourite colour of paper as well!

Wrapping Stall
Choose from a red, blue or yellow box, then put what you want wrapped inside. Then we will wrap the item for you! People like to receive gifts that are wrapped. You can tell that some one put a lot of thought into a gift when it's wrapped.

Each colour of Box costs 200G. Characters all have favourite colours.

Lady at Stall: How do you choose the right colour wrapping paper? You have to figure out the colour the recipient likes. People will tend to wear the colours they like.


Raul's Seed Stall


Raul has a stall at the Bazaar where he offers Seeds that you will not find at the start of the game in his Shop Menu:

Spring Menu:

Joan's Stall


Joan has a Stall at the Bazaar where you may be able to find Cooked Dishes you have not seen on the Cafe Menu. Both the items on the Cafe Menu and those at her Bazaar Stall are chosen randomly, so simply be alert for changes and new Cooked Dishes.


Wilbur's Workshop


Wilbur is the Master Carpenter in Zephyr Village and you can order expansions from him at his Stall at the weekly Bazaar.

Adding fields means you can grow more crops.

3rd Storage Expansion: 40,000G

4th Storage Expansion: 50,000G

2nd Field Expansion: 60,000G


Lloyd's Stall


Lloyd sells Ores at the start of Spring at his Stall at the Bazaar. Prices, as with most items in Grand Bazaar fluctuate a little according to the Quality of the Item being offered. The actual items may vary from week to week as well. Among the items offered are:

Lloyd's Stall

Copper: 1400G (1 1/2 Stars)
A common precious metal. Can be made into necklaces, bracelets and other items.

Ore with magical powers. Sells for a high price, but has other uses too.


Felix's Stall


Mayor Felix has a Stall at the weekly Bazaar where you will find a rather odd assortment of items in the first Spring. It is he who sells Chocolate and in fact, that is the only food item that he will offer at this point in time. The Mayor's Stall is the venue for Tools as well.

The first tool he may offer is the Sickle. It is only when you purchase the Tool that is offered currently that a new Tool will take its place at the next Bazaar.

Felix's Menu:

Chocolate: 200G
Delicious and sweet treat. Also used in recipes.

It appears that Chocolate ALWAYS is one of the items at Felix's Stall.

Tools:

Sickle: 1000G
Range: 1 Square. Use to gather fodder and wheat and cut dead crops.

Once you purchase the Sickle, the Hammer will appear:

Hammer: 8000G

Once you purchase the Hammer, the Axe will appear:

Axe: 4000G

When you purchase any Livestock Animal, the following will be added:

Brush: 3000G
Equip and use on animals to brush them. You can't brush Chickens, though.

Once you purchase the Brush, the Bell will appear:

Bell: 5000G
Equip and use to call your animals. Useful when your animals are grazing.

When you have purchased the Bell, a new Ranch Tool in the form of a Stethoscope will become available:

Stethoscope: 4000G
Equip and use to find out the status of animals. Find out how they feel about you.
After purchasing the Stethoscope, Felix offered:
Cat Bell: 2500G
Throw it and your cat will fetch it. Raises your cat's training level.
Dog Bone: 2500G
Throw it and your dog will fetch it. Raises your dog's training level.
In a file where Freyja had 2 Chickens and 2 Cows and had purchased all Ranch Tools, including the Stethoscope, Felix continued to offer the Dog Bone and the Cat Bell at his Stall, with Chocolate.
In the middle of Autumn, Felix added Truffles to the Menu. In the file where Freyja had purchased Livestock and Ranch Tools, the Cat Bell continued to be offered, but the Dog Bone was replaced with Truffles.
Truffle (1/2 Star): 1000G
Luxury ingredient from a distant island.

After 2 Winter, Felix will offer:

Skateboard: 9000G
Equip it to skate down the hill. How fast can you go?

The Skateboard replaced the Dog Bone at Felix's Stall in Winter in a file where Freyja owned both Cats and Dogs.

On the date of the last Bazaar in Winter, Felix had the following items:

Chocolate: 200G
Skateboard: 9000G

Rice Candy: (1/2 Star): 200G
Super Fresh!
Good by itself. You can also use it in many recipes.

Note that Rice Candy is a traditional New Year item in Harvest Moon.


Enrique's Amazing Animal Stall


Enrique, one of Raul's brothers, has a stall at the Bazaar where he sells Ranch Animals and Pets. In the first Spring, although the menu offers a choice between Animals and Pets, Enrique will tell you that 'we're all sold out of pets'.

The Animals that are sold at Enrique's Stall are chosen randomly. I have found Pigs and Chicks for sale at the first Bazaar and in another game, Cows and Chicks.

Enrique's Amazing Animal Stand:

Chick: 3500G
Chicken: 6000G
Young Cow: 6000G
Young Sheep: 8000G

After my Character purchased a Chick, the adult Chicken appeared at the Stall and once my Character bought a Young Cow, the Adult Cow appeared.

Adult Cow: 12000G

When my Character purchased a Young Sheep, the Adult Sheep was offered the next week:

Adult Sheep: 16000G

To unlock Cats, purchase a total of four Chicks/Chickens from Enrique. To unlock Dogs, purchase a total of four Livestock consisting of Cows and/or Sheep.

Dog: 8000G
Cat: 10000G

Dogs and Cats can be many different colours and those that appear are randomly chosen. So far, I have seen Black, Grey and White Cats and Dark Brown, Tan and Black Dogs. The Dogs are parti-coloured, with white stomachs.

Note that, unlike the Ranch Tools sold by Felix, the Cat Bell and Dog Bone may be offered even before you unlock Pets at Enrique's Stall.

After you purchase your first Pet, you will find Pet Food has been added to the Menu at Raul's Shop.


1st Bazaar Expansion


Meeting the current Sales Goal is not a guarantee that the Bazaar will be expanded the next week. Sometimes a player will be required to meet the current sales goal more than once before the Bazaar is expanded. Bazaar Expansions in fact are based on cumulative Sales. Another section in this Guide deals with all Bazaar expansions and Prizes.

When you meet the Sales Goal, your Character should rank in the top 3 Sellers at the Bazaar and win a prize.

When Felix announces that the Zephyr Town Bazaar has become Best Bazaar in the Region, he will declare a new goal to become Largest in the Country with a sales goal of 40000G to 50000G.

Felix: There will be more stores at the next bazaar. My daughter, Sherry, will sell seeds. Plants like grapes and tea don't need watering, so they're a great buy!

Sherry: I'll have many seeds to choose from. I'm looking forward to working with every one.

Felix: Hardware and furniture stores are planned too. We have two more stores in mind... but, we'll announce those later!

The next morning, Gannon and Chen will introduce themselves and announce that they will open Stalls at the Bazaar.

The new Stalls at the Bazaar will be:


Fantastic Furniture

Fantastic Furniture is run by an unnamed salesman.

Salesman: Welcome to Fantastic Furniture. I will introduce you to the perfect furniture for you. Would you... like to meet them? Let's see... How about a bed?

A bigger bed will allow you to live a happier and more well-rested life.

Bed: 10,000G.


Cookware Stand


The Cookware Stand is another Stall run by an unnamed Salesman.

Salesman: Welcome to the Cookware Stand! We sell a lot of different kidns of cookware here! You can learn new recipes from the cafe, but cooking is best learned by doing. If you buy our cookware, you might become a great chef! Our store can help you do just that! So, how about it?

Frying Pan: 10,000G

Pot: 10,000G

After purchasing the Pot, he added:

Seasonings: 10,000G

If you speak to him, he will tell you: If you want to cook, you'll need the right cooking tools! I have only the best cooking tools for sale!

When I bought the Pot, a new Utensil in the form of Seasonings was offered the next week in every file.


Sherry's Tree Seeds Stall


In the Spring Season, Sherry offered:

Grape Tree Seed: (2 1/2 Stars): 720G

2nd Bazaar Expansion


When your Character has sold a total of 450,000G at his/her Stall at the Bazaar, Felix will announce that the Goal has been met and the Bazaar will expand for the second time. His announcement will be as follows:

Felix: Now our Bazaar is Best Bazaar in the Country too! There will be more stores ta the next Bazaar: Isaac's Information Store and Claire's Food Store.

Isaac (laughing) I'll have all sorts of information for everybody.

Claire: Be sure to come and enjoy my food!

Felix (howling with laughter) Psychic and lotto stores are planned too. Our bazaar is getting bigger than ever. (Another huge laugh). Yes, I'm excited! The new goal for our bazaar is... Largest on the continent. Our goal for the next bazaar is 80,000G to 100,000G. We can do it! Well, that's all for now. Start getting ready for the next bazaar!

In your Farm Assets Menu, your Bazaar percentage now will be 50%.

New Stalls will include:


Fortune-Telling

An unnamed bearded Elder will offer fortune-telling.

Welcome, welcome! Would you like your fortune read?
It's just 100G!

For 100G:

An example of a fortune:

Abracadabra... What fate lies in wait for you?!
Go somewhere you don't usually go today.

So, did that enlighten you at all? Feel free to come back any time!


Isaac's Info Centre


Isaac: Would you like to know all kinds of inside info, Freyja? Is 100G OK?

After paying the price:

Isaac: Well, this is just a rumour, really... Are you taking care of your crops? You're not stepping on them, are you? You can damage your crops if you step on them, you know. If any other hot info comes along, you'll certainly hear about it.

(In fact, Crop Rank can decrease by 1/2 Star if you trample on a growing Crop.)

Isaac: Well, this is just a rumour relaly! It's cold in the river! I've fallen in a few times! But when I was underwater, I thought I saw something shiny down there... Maybe you'll see it if you fall in the river, too.

He is referring to the items that you can find when diving evidently.

Isaac can recount the history of relationships between villagers in some cases.

Isaac: Ethel and Joan are very close. But apparently, when they were young, they both fell in love with the same man... A lot happened, I hear... But now, they're best friends. (Ah ho!) I really admire the strength of their friendship.


Lucky Lotto


An unnamed Woman with a Hat officiates at the Lotto Stall:

Welcome to Lucky Lotto. Care to play? One ticket is 300G.

Let's see how lucky you are right now.

Prizes can be a little disappointing. 1st Prize in Freyja's game was a tin of Straight Tea and 4th Prize was a Fish Bone.

Diego's Stall


Raul's second brother, Diego, will not open his Stall at the Bazaar until you have achieved 75% completion. He then will sell a Wonderful at his Stall for 10,000G. The colour that will appear for sale is chosen randomly. You never will be able to have more than one Wonderful of any colour. Any Wonderfuls that you are not using must be stored.

Wonderfuls, as Isaac will advise you when he unlocks the first Windmill, are used in Windmills in Zephyr Town. You can use only one Wonderful in a Windmill at any given time and you will not be able to insert a Wonderful while goods are being made in the Windmill.

Each colour of Wonderful has a different power.

Red Wonderful: Increases rank of completed items by 1/2 Star
Becomes available randomly only in Autumn and Winter from the 3rd year onward.

Orange Wonderful: Expands the stack of any item from 10 to 30
Becomes available only in Spring and Winter Seasons from the second Winter onwards.

Yellow Wonderful: Increases the number of items produced. For a stack of five, you receive 6. For a stack of 10, you receive 12
Becomes available only in the Summer and Autumn seasons from the third year onward.

Green Wonderful: Expands the number of different items you can make in any Windmill from 6 to a dozen
Becomes available only in the Spring and Summer Seasons from the third year onward

Blue Wonderful: Unlocks all advanced Windmill Recipes
Becomes available only in the Spring and Winter Seasons from the third Winter onward.


Bazaar Sales Goals


The first sales Goal will be announced by Felix as 15,000G to 20,000G. I When my Character achieved first place by selling more than 20,000G, , she was given a prize of small Milk on the basis of 'being in the top 3'.

Felix: For being in the top 3, Freyja will receive a token of thanks. A Milk. I hope you like it.

When she achieved 2nd place, however, the prize was an Egg. In another result, she received Curry Bread for 2nd place.

In one file where she had not quite met the initial goal of 15,000G, having sold only 13,950G, the announcement the next morning nonetheless was that the Bazaar had met the Goal and now would be given a new Sales Goal. In both this file and the file where she sold over 20,000G, Chen and Gannon arrived the same week and the Bazaar was expanded. As she had sold a total of 40,000G in both files, meeting the Bazaar Expansion Goal of 25%, even though her own sales that week had NOT met the profit goal in one case on that particular week, Felix was able to announce that Zephyr Town now had the Best Bazaar in the Region.

In a file where she exceeded the 50,000G goal by selling almost 90,000G, the 2nd Bazaar Expansion did not occur because she had not earned a total of 450,000G yet to allow the Bazaar to reach 50% to become Best Bazaar in the Country.

As you can see, individual Sales Goals and Felix's Town Goal are different, although one depends on the other. Meeting your Character's current Sales Goal does not guarantee that the Bazaar will be expanded immediately. You may have to meet the Goal a couple of times before Felix announces that the Town Bazaar has achieved ITS Goal and can expand to the next level. The Bazaar Expansion requirements are based on cumulative Sales totals described in the next section.

When Freyja won 1st Prize for meeting the Sales Goal of 40,000G to 50,000G, her Prize was a Wool.

All Bazaar Goals and Prizes are as follows:


Bazaar Goals and Prizes


The Initial Bazaar Goal is 15,000G to 20,000G.

There are two types of Awards. One is for attaining 1st Place, 2nd Place or 3rd Place in terms of Profits. The other is for having the 'Happiest Customers'.

The 'Happiest Customers' Award is based on your Reputation Points. 60 Reputation Points will earn you this Award.

The Prizes awarded for achieving 1st, 2nd or 3rd Place in this initial stage are:

1st Place: Milk
2nd Place: Egg
3rd Place: Fertiliser
If you had the 'Happiest Customers', you will receive Butter. If you had the 'Happiest Customers' as well as achieving one of the three ranks in sales, you will receive:
1st Place: Cheese
2nd Place: Yogurt
3rd Place: Lavender
The 1st Bazaar Expansion will occur when Felix announces that your community has reached the Goal to become the Best Bazaar in the Region which requires 25% completion with a total of 40,000G earned.. Your Sales Goal now will increase to 40,000G to 50,000G and the next goal will be to become Best Bazaar in the Country.
For achieving 1st, 2nd or 3rd Place, the Prizes will be:
1st Place: Olive or Wool
2nd Place: Curry Bread or Jelly Bread
3rd Place: Honeycomb or Oil
If you had the 'Happiest Customers', you will receive Flour or Nut Oil as a prize.
If you had the 'Happiest Customers' as well as achieving 1st, 2nd or 3rd Place, the Prizes will be::
1st Place: Rice or Good Mayonnaise
2nd Place: Curry Powder or Soy Flour
3rd Place: Apple Jam or Rice Flour
The next Sales Goal will be 80,000G to 100,000G in terms of your Stall. To become Best Bazaar in the Country, you need 50% completion with a total of 450,000G earned.
Prizes now for achieving 1st, 2nd or 3rd Place will be:
1st Place: Mint Tea Tin or Strawberry Tea Tin
2nd Place: Olive Oil or Spring Tea Leaves
3rd Place: Black Egg or Edamame
If you have the 'Happiest Customers', you will receive a prize of Good Herb Butter or Good Herb Cheese.
If you have the Happiest Customers as well as attaining 1st, 2nd or 3rd Place in sales, the prizes are:
1st Prize: Lavender Tea Tin or Sushi
2nd Place: Chamomile Tea or Pickled Eggplant
3rd Place: Summer Tea Leaves or Pumpkin
Once you have earned a total of 1,500,000G, Felix will announce that Zephyr Town has become the Best Bazaar on the Continent. Your goal will be increased to 150,000G to 200,000G.
For 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place, the Prizes will be:
1st Place: Coffee Beans, Muscat Tea (tin), Pickled Carrot or Pickled Radish
2nd Place: Chili Pepper, Coffee Pack, Miso or Pickled Spinach
3rd Place: Herb Perfume, Good Herb Mayonnaise, Trifle or Pickled Carrot
If you have the Happiest Customers, your Prize will be: Flower Perfume, Good Wool, Orange Tea (Tin) or Doria
When total earnings reach 5,000,000G, you will have achieved 100% completion. Profit goal each week will be 500,000G to 600,000G but there will be no further expansions. You still can win prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place as well as having the 'Happiest Customers'.
Note that no expansions will occur unless you attend the Bazaar Results meeting in the Town Square irrespective of your sales totals at any weekly Bazaar.

Titles and Accomplishments


As usual in Harvest Moon, your Character will have Titles that will change as his/her Skills in a specific endeavour improve. In Grand Bazaar, you will have a Title for your 'Critter Catching Skill' and one for your 'Cooking Skill'. In both cases, it is not the number of Insects you have caught or Dishes cooked that will raise your Character's Skill usually but the number of different Insects or Items you have caught/cooked simply because one new Insect or Dish has a much higher point value than one you have caught or cooked previously. In other words, making 50 Turnip Salads may not raise your Skill Level.


Animal Care Products


Animals are sold by Enrique, Raul's younger brother, at a Stall at the weekly Bazaar. When you have purchased any Animal, its feed then will appear for sale at Raul's Market in the village. Animal Medicine will be added to his Menu as well as soon as you own any Animal.

Animal Medicine: 500G
Use it on a sick animal to cure them.

Chicken Feed: 80G
Feed for chickens. Use it to feed them when they can't go outside.

Fodder: 70G

Although you will be given a Milker with the purchase of your first Cow and Clippers/Shears with the purchase of your first Sheep, other Ranch Tools are sold by Felix at the Weekly Bazaar. As with regular Tools, he will offer only one Tool at a time. The first Ranch Tool to appear is the Brush. When you have purchased the Brush, the Bell will appear at the next Bazaar. When you purchase the Bell, the Stethoscope will appear the next week.


General Rules of Animal Care


As Enrique will inform you whenever he delivers a new Animal to your Farmhouse, Animals are happiest if you take them outside when the Weather is fine but you always should bring them into the Barn by 9.00 p.m. Although 7.00 p.m. is the end of the day, Animals tend to fall asleep at 9.00 p.m.. If you disturb any Animal after 9.00 p.m., he/she will display the 'cross hurt' icon denoting anger or unhappiness. I did not notice any decrease in Heart Levels from this, however. Furthermore, if a Chicken is not brought back to her nest before dawn, she will not be able to lay an Egg.

Once you have trained a Dog, he/she will be able to herd your Livestock in and out of the Barn, but at the start of the game, Pets will be 'sold out' at Enrique's Stall and you will be obliged to perform your own herding. To herd any Animal to and from pasture, you must Push it. This is extremely frustrating as the Animal will continue to move even when you are not pushing it. The Animals invariably attempt to return to pasture when you are trying to push them through the door into the Barn and it can take hours to return them the first night or so. In the absence of a dog, I personally did not think it was worth the trouble or time and decided to feed my Livestock daily in the Barn although Livestock will learn to find their way back to the Barn after a day or two. Chickens, on the other hand, are carried in and out of their little pen and this is the work of a moment.

Once you are able to purchase a Brush from Felix at the Bazaar, you should brush your Livestock daily for an increase in Affection. Heart level will improve the Quality of Ranch Products. A Young Cow will take a couple of weeks to mature into a Cow who delivers Milk but a Chick only takes a week to become an adult Chicken who will lay an egg each day unless 'sick'.

The purchase of a Brush, moreover, will result in the appearance of a Bell at Felix's Stall. Livestock WILL follow the Bell and the task of bringing them back into the Barn at night will become very simple.

Once you purchase the Brush from Felix, he will offer a Stethoscope at the next Bazaar. The Stethoscope is a new Ranch Tool that allows you to see an Animal's current emotional status. What it really does is allow further interaction with your Animals and is the equivalent of talking to them.

To raise Animal Heart Levels quickly, you should make certain that they are fed and perform all possible interactions with them on a daily basis. Where Chickens are concerned, you should pick up each Chick or Chicken and use the Stethoscope on them. Where Livestock are concerned, interact with them by using the Brush and Stethoscope and the specific tool that delivers Ranch Product when possible.

When you purchase a total of four Poultry Animals (Chicks or Chickens), Cats will appear at the Bazaar the next week. Purchase of a total of four Livestock Animals (Cows or Sheep of any size), Dogs will appear.

Cats are trained with a Cat Bell and Dogs with a Dog Bone. Note that the Cat Bell is quite different from the Bell used to call Livestock. The Livestock Bell is a Tool. The Cat Bell and Dog Bone are Items that can be sold or lost.

Throw the Dog Bone or Cat Bell towards the Animal you wish to train when it is paying attention. The Cat tends to sleep on the roof of the farmhouse quite a bit, and will not pay attention to the Cat Bell when she does this. You have to find her while she is on the field or in the house. When you throw the toy near the Pet, he/she will chase it about, displaying a big red heart.

An untrained Pet usually will herd a single Animal outside per day.


Grass and Fodder


Although you can purchase Fodder from Raul's Shop, it is rather expensive at 70G for each portion. One portion will feed more than one Animal but even so, provided you have sufficient space in your fields, it may be more economical to grow your own Grass for Fodder.

Once the third Windmill is unlocked, you will have the equivalent of a Seed Maker, among other things. To create Grass Seeds, simply use one portion of Fodder and one Fertiliser.

In terms of profit from your fields, however, you would be better served by planting Crops in the initial field rather than wasting any squares on Grass. It is only when you have ordered expansions to your Fields that you may consider the benefits of growing your own Grass.

Grass grows in all Seasons except Winter and matures after 12 days. Use your Sickle to harvest it.


Care Instruction for Chickens


When you have purchased any type of Animal for the first time, you will receive a visit from Enrique the next morning. He then will give you instructions on its care.

Enrique: First, why don't I teach you how to feed them? On nice days, take them outside, and they'll eat automatically. Just pick up chicks and chickens to carry them outside. Do you remember the fenced area on the right side of your farm?

You should put your chicks and chickens in this pen.

Back in the coop now:
Don't bring them outside on rainy days, though! Give them chicken feed on days when you leave them inside. This area is where the chicken feed should be spread. After spreading the feed here, the chickiens will come and start eating.

You can take chicken feed from out of this dispenser. However, you'll have to have some chicken feed in storage for it to appear there. Chicken feed is sold at the store in torwn. If you don't feed them, they'll lose energy. You should also talk to them, or they'll get stressed and lonely. That will make them more likely to get sick, so be careful! If they're sick, give them animal medicine to make them better! If you don't help them, they'll get sicker and sicker, and eventually die. You don't want that, so make sure your animals have a long and happy life!

Enrique: A healthy chicken will lay one egg per day. However, this one is still a chick, so you'll have to raise it to become an adult. The stronger your bond, the higher-quality egg they will lay for you. Therefore, you should talk to them, and do things that will make them happy! And that's the basics of taking care of chickens! You think you got it?

Note that you must throw the Chicken Feed into the area closest to the bin where it is stored. There are two areas for Feed on the floor in the northern section of the Barn. Chicken Feed must be thrown in the area to the left. Even Chicks need Chicken Feed on days when they are not taken outside.

If you leave your Chickens outside overnight, they will NOT lay Eggs. In order to lay an Egg, a Chickens needs to be able to sit on her nest in the Barn.

You should pick up every Chick or Chicken daily and use the Stethoscope on each for maximum effect.


Care Instruction for Cows


The instruction for the care of Cows is very similar to that for Chickens:

Enrique: First, why don't I teach you how to feed them? On nice days, just let them outside, and they'll eat the grass. You need to push them and guide them outside. There's lots of grass...

He indicates the upper meadow area above my field.

Enrique: There's lots of grass just behind your house here. Don't take them outside on rainy days, though! give them fodder on days when you leave them inside. Just toss the fodder into their trough here. They will come over and begin to eat the food. You can take fodder from out of this dispenser. However, you'll have to have some fodder in storage for it to appear there. They sell fodder at the store in town. If you don't feed them, they'll lose energy. You should also talk to them or they'll get stressed and lonely. That will make them more likely to get sick, so be careful! If they're sick, give them animal medicine to make them better. If you don't help them, they'll get sicker and sicker and eventually die. You don't want that, so make sure your animals have a long and happy life!

Enrique: Healthy cows will give you Milk eventually. This one is still young, so take care of it until it becomes an adult. The stronger your bond, the better the milk will be. You should talk to them, and do things that will make them happy. That's how to take care of cows. You got it?

When you return to the Farmhouse, he will give you a Milker:

Enrique: Oh, I almost forgot to give you this! It's a milker. You can use it on adult cows to get their milk.

Fodder costs 70G at Raul's Market.


Care Instruction for Sheep


The Care Instructions for Sheep are almost identical to the speech Enrique gives for Cows. The only difference is that he will declare that only Adult Sheep will provide Wool and will give you a set of Clippers before he leaves.


Care Instruction for Pets


Basic Care for Cats and Dogs is the same. Training, however, is different for each as the Cat Bell is used to train a Cat and the Dog Bone for any Dog.

When you purchase your first Cat or Dog from Enrique's Stall, he will deliver the Animal the next morning with a little tutorial on caring for Pets:

Enrique: Do you know how to take care of pets?

Your choices:

No, I don't.
Yep!

Enrique: Well, I'll teach you, then! First, why don't I teach you how to feed them?
You feed cats and dogs the same way. Just toss pet food into this trough here. Your pets will come over and eat the food. Pets can also help you around your farm! They can take animals out during the day, and bring them back indoors at night. Dogs are in charge of cowes and sheep and cats take care of chickens. And if you train your pets, the number of animals they take outside will go up. You train dogs with a rubber bone and cats with a bell. Buy them at the bazaar! However, if you don't feed them or talk to them, they won't do any chores for you. And that's the basics of taking care of pets! You think you got it?

The trough for Pet Food is in the Farmhouse against the eastern wall near the entrance to the Barn.

You can pick up a Cat or Dog daily as you do any Chick or Chicken. You can use a Stethoscope on a Pet as well. The prompt you receive when the Stethoscope is used on a Pet is rather different from the prompts for any Ranch Animal. Rather than displaying degree of happiness and health, the Stethoscope when used on a Pet will display a message that deals with degree of closeness.

When you first obtain any Pet, the Stethoscope will inform you: It thinks that you're a stranger. Oddly enough, however, the messages will vary wildly and therefore are a matter of the Pet's current Mood as well as closeness. In this, the Stethoscope displays the same variety of Responses that you will see during any Animal Contest.

Even with a Pet still at 0 Hearts, you may see all of the following in quick succession when using your Stethoscope repeatedly:

It thinks you are a stranger.

It will take some care of cows and sheep/chickens.

As thanks for food, it will take care of cows and sheep/chickens.

Once you have at least one heart with a Pet, in addition to the above, you may obtain the following messages with the Stethoscope:

It thinks that you two get along all right.

Recognises you, but doesn't trust you.

Trusts you to feed it, but not much more.

When heart levels increase further, you may receive the messages:

It's gotten used to taking care of the chickens/cows and sheep.

It's starting to see you as its owner.

Even then, however, it is a matter of mood and the Pet may view you as a stranger once more from time to time randomly.

Moreover, a Pet's increase in Levels in Training does not mirror increases in Heart Levels precisely. After a few tosses of the Dog Bone or Cat Bell and interactions with it by a Pet, his/her Level of Skill may increase.


Animal Friendship Points


As with human Characters, every interaction with an Animal is worth a specific number of Friendship Points. Positive interaction values are as follows:

Use the Stethoscope each day: +1 FP

There are penalties for negative interactions as well:

Allowing an Animal to remain Sick for a day: -1 FP
Neglecting to feed an Animal for a full day: -5 FP
Leaving an Animal outside for more than 2 Hours in the rain: -5 FP
Leaving an Animal outside for more than 2 Hours in a Hurricane/Snowstorm: -10 FP
Striking any Animal with a sharp Tool: -10 FP
Neglecting any Animal for 2 Days: -15 FP


Tools


You will be given a Watering Can and a Hoe, the fundamental farming tools at the start of the game. Other Tools have to be purchased and the prices can be rather steep for some of them if you are a new farmer.

It is at the Bazaar that you will find Tools for sale at Mayor Felix's Stall. The first Tool that may be offered is the Sickle. The Hammer may be next, followed by the Axe. A new Tool appears at the next Bazaar only when you have purchased the one that is offered.

Sickle: 1000G
Hammer: 8000G
Axe: 4000G

The Fishing Tool is a Gift from Mayor Felix at the beginning of Summer. Make certain that you exit your Farmhouse via the front door to trigger the Event.

Ranch Tools are sold by Mayor Felix only when you have purchased Livestock from Enrique's Stall. The first to be offered is a Brush, followed by a Bell. When you purchase the Bell, a Stethoscope will be on sale at Felix's Stall the following week.

In Autumn, Felix adds Truffles to his Menu. A Truffle is the Prize for winning the Entree Cooking Contest in Autumn as well.

Primary Ranch Tools in the form of a Milker and Shears are Gifts with the purchase of your first Animal. In other words, the Milker will be given by Enrique when you buy your first Cow and the Shears will be given when you purchase a Sheep.

Some of your basic Tools can be upgraded at the second Windmill when it is unlocked in the middle of Summer but they can be upgraded only in Rank and Quality and not to the next level of Tool. Some of the basic Tools, including the Ranch Tools, Axe and Hammer cannot be upgraded at all. The traditional Farm Tools, consisting of the Watering Can, Hoe and Sickle, can be upgraded from 1/2 Star to 5 Stars, increasing their range when used on your fields.

The basic Short Fishing Rod given by Felix at the start of Summer, can be upgraded in Rank and Quality to 5 Stars but the Medium and Long Fishing Rods will be sold by Felix in later years.


Initial Walkthrough


Make certain that you introduce yourself to every one in Zephyr Village and speak to every Character on a daily basis, even if you cannot give a preferred item as Gift. Many of the villagers find both Flowers and Insects acceptable. Wilbur and Isaac both love construction Materials, so a Rock or a Branch makes an excellent Gift for those two individuals.

The Flower Festival is an opportunity to raise Friendship levels with all Characters as even when the individual is not that fond of Flowers ordinarily, he/she will accept a Flower happily during the four day Festival.

You need to plant as many Turnip Seeds as possible in the first week. When you harvest them, you should save them to sell at the Bazaar if at all possible. Items when sold at your Stall at the Bazaar have twice the value they would have if sold to a local merchant. Apart from this, you need to try to reach your sales goal as quickly as possible.

Insects can be caught without a net. Simply press 'B' to catch them. Although you can toggle the L Button to walk or run, you MUST be walking rather than running if you wish to be able to catch some varieties of insects, including Fireflies and Insects that cling to Tree Trunks. They will be startled and disappear if you run towards them. Fireflies appear in Summer and the Beetles and Cicadas that cling to Trees appear in the Autumn season.

To catch an Insect on a tree trunk, walk slowly to a position directly in front of the Tree but at least one step from it. Then leap into the air, pressing the B Button at the same time to catch the Insect.

Detailed instructions on catching Insects are given in the section of this Guide that lists all Insects.

You can use Fertiliser on Crops on a daily basis until they are harvested to increase their Quality and thereby increase their value. Once the 1st Windmill is unlocked, you will be able to make Fertiliser using one Branch and one Weed. Use of the Windmills increases your Windmill Skill Level even if it is easier to purchase Fertiliser in bulk!

You can water Crops twice daily in order to speed the growth process but the second watering must be done when the soil is dry. It therefore is a good idea to water all Crops in the morning in order to be able to water them again at night.

Seeds will not be washed away in the rain, so you can plant new Crops and fertilise them on a rainy day.

Foraging is your other method of gaining income at the start of the game. Although Fertiliser can be made in the 1st Windmill using one Weed and one Branch, the Windmill will not be unlocked until 24 Spring. As storage space is limited, you may wish to sell Weeds, Branches and Rocks unless you intend to give them as Gifts to Isaac or Wilbur.

A tiny glittering light on the ground indicates a coin. Coins of different denominations, including Gold Coins, can be found on the ground in every season. There are specific drop spots throughout the Map where you will find the same items again and again. One of the best locations to find Coins is to the right of the barrel on the top tier below your Farm. Use the Barrel to leap up to the little plateau to collect Coins and the occasional Branch.

You can leap into the water to find treasures and other items randomly. Items when found are caught in your clothing and the chance of this occurring is not that common. In other words, you may leap into the water five or six times before you find an item in this manner. Items found in the water include Empty Cans, Branches, Small Coins, Sea Urchins, Ore Stones, Gold Ore and Straight Tea. Note that you will lose significant energy each time you leap into the water, so be careful to watch your Stamina Bar.

On 1 Summer, Felix will give you a Short Fishing Rod and you will be able to fish from every pier. Your income will improve significantly once you are able to fish.

Cooked Dishes are more valuable generally than raw ingredients. Make Turnip Salad and Steamed Mushrooms with the Turnips and Shitake to sell at your Stall at the Bazaar. A variety of items appears to generate more sales than three stacks of the same type of item. As soon as one Stall slot is empty, use the X Button to take another item or stack of items from your Bag to replace it. Note that you can sell even rotten or rotting items on your Stall when all else has been sold, although they generate far less income than the same item when fresh.

The Bazaar is the venue where you will find items that are not sold elsewhere, so make certain that you shut your Stall when you have sufficient money in order to shop at other Stalls. Raul sells Seeds at the Bazaar that he does not offer at his Shop. Enrique sells all Ranch Animals. Mayor Felix sells Chocolate and Farm Tools When you have purchased any Livestock, he will begin to sell Ranch Tools.. In Autumn, he adds Truffles to his Menu. The Gift-Wrapping Service is located at a stall at the Bazaar. Wrapping an Item to give as a Gift to some one can increase Heart Levels more than an unwrapped item, especially if you use the individual's favourite colour of wrapping.

Expanding the Bazaar to the next level as quickly as possible by selling a total of 40,000G (cumulative sales) is absolutely essential if you wish to be able to make any significant progress in Grand Bazaar. With the first Expansion, among other things, you will find Cookware for sale as well as new Seeds and ingredients such as Oil and Rice. Sherry moreover will begin to sell Seeds for Trees.


Littering


If you speak to Wilbur in the village square, he will tell you: Pretty, isn't it? Every one takes care not to litter around here. You be careful, too.

Littering, however, is not as strictly defined in Grand Bazaar as in other Harvest Moon games and appears to consist mainly of the crime of throwing items into the River. Items that are thrown on the ground, whether deliberately or by accident, can be collected again. Perhaps you are guilty of littering if you fail to collect an item you have dropped before you leave the screen.

In terms of items tossed on the floor of your House, sadly they will remain there to be collected only until you leave the House. If you exit and re-enter again, the item will be gone.

When your Bag is full and you have an item in your hands, you will not be able to interact with your Storage Room or with any Merchant such as Raul until you stash the item somewhere. You can throw it on the floor temporarily in order to make space in your bag for it by storing or selling another item. I do not think this constitutes littering in Grand Bazaar, but I could be wrong.

Tossing any item into the river definitely constitutes littering and it will result in a larger probability that you will catch Rubbish either in your clothing when diving or with your Fishing Rod. In Harvest Moon, littering usually decreases friendship levels with villagers and I should imagine this is the case in Grand Bazaar as well.


Quality and Freshness


In the first Spring, you can find a wide variety of items throughout the Village. These can be sold either at any local shop or from your Stall at the weekly Bazaar. They can be given as Gifts and some can be used as ingredients in Cooked Dishes.

The specific value of items varies according to its Freshness and Quality. Quality is displayed as Stars. Freshness is a part of the description of any item when you access it. Quality and Freshness pertain to Cooked Dishes as well as Crops and other raw items.

Insects have no Freshness but they do have a Rank in the form of Star Ratings.

When items rot, they cannot be given as Gifts although you will be able to sell them to Raul for 1G each. Items that are 'fairly fresh' rather than 'super fresh' will have a diminished value but can be sold or given as Gifts. Items that are in the process of going off will not be accepted as Gifts, although they often can be used as ingredients in Cooked Dishes or Windmill Recipes. They can be sold at your Bazaar Stall as well as being sold to a merchant. When items are cooked or procesed, they will improve in value so that the resulting item can be 'super fresh', even when all ingredients are not completely fresh.


Tips and Tricks


Any item that is not 'Super Fresh!' will be less valuable than the same item in its freshest state. When items begin to go off, they can be sold, but they usually are worth no more than 1G each. If, however, you are able to use the Item either in your Kitchen to create a Cooked Dish or in a Windmill Recipe, it will regain some of its Freshness. You therefore should use all Items that have lost their freshness rating in a Cooked Dish or Windmill Recipe.

Storage is a problem in most Harvest Moon games, especially at the start. There are some ways to store items temporarily outside of your Storage Room. Crops that have ripened, for example, can be left in the Ground at least for a day. If a Bazaar is scheduled the next day, it is better to leave all ripened Crops in the ground overnight for two reasons. The first is to increase your Storage space. The second is because Seeds are sold at the Bazaars. Once you harvest any Crop, the land will revert to untilled soil overnight. If you harvest Crops the day before a Bazaar, you will be forced to retill the land for the Seeds purchased at the Bazaar. If, however, you harvest the Crops on the morning of the Bazaar, you can come home in the evening to plant your new Seeds without having to till the soil.

Leaving ripened Crops on the ground is a good strategy for a Multiplayer game as well as every player, including the host, will be able to harvest the Crops during the Multiplayer sesson!

Another temporary storage location exists in each Windmill. You can leave up to 6 completed items in the Windmill. Each Windmill has six slots for items. If a Bazaar is scheduled, leave any items you intend to sell at the Bazaar in the Windmill if possible until the day of the Bazaar.

Diving for Items in the River is a good way to find valuable Ores and Sea Urchins, but it takes Energy. Using the Multiplayer option will allow you to dive to your heart's content as you can play through more than one day in Multiplayer Mode. Make certain that you have sufficient slots in your Bag before you embark upon your adventure, as you will not be able to give items to other Characters in Multiplayer Mode.

You can sell items at the Neighbourhood Bazaar in Multiplayer Mode. This is a method by which you can obtain more space in your Bag or sell items to obtain funds on a day when Raul's Shop is shut. If you need money on any Friday, try to enter Multiplayer Mode.

Multiplayer Mode is unlocked on Tuesday, 17 Spring in a visit from Mayor Felix. Until then, you will be unable to use the option.

Note that any items that appear on the ground on the morning of any Bazaar Day will disappear by the time the Bazaar ends at 7.00 p.m. Sometimes the Items will disappear earlier than that. The strategy of shutting your Stall temporarily in order to forage outside the Bazaar may be fruitless. Be careful, especially when storage space is limited to collect at least the most valuable items from the ground before you open your Stall at the Bazaar.

You can open and shut your Stall at any Bazaar repeatedly. Your options are not limited to exploration of other Stalls. You actually can leave the Bazaar and return with more items if you wish to do so. Knowing the shortcuts from screen to screen is very helpful in this respect.

The little stone pathway to the left of the Bazaar leads directly to the Town Screen to a plateau above the houses. Leap down from there and take the path east to the Mayor's house. Leap onto the Barrel to find yourself on a plateau above the top tier on the Waterfall screen. Now you can walk east to the entrance to the Farm screen. This saves a lot of time on the day of any Bazaar.

If you have found any Ore Stones in the River, do not sell them either to Raul or at the Bazaar! Wait until you have a Hammer (sold at Felix's Stall the week after you purchase a Sickle from him), then smash the Ore Stone to find an Ore/Gem inside. Note that the result is random and is loaded at the moment you smash the Ore Stone. You therefore should wait until 6.00 a.m. on the morning of a Bazaar or any other morning after saving your game. Smash the Ore Stone. If it contains only Scrap Metal, reload your game and try again.

Multiplayer Games offer a wonderful opportunity to dive for items in the river. If you do not have access to Multiplayer Games, you can dive in the river at 6.00 a.m. in your own village in order to find Gold Ore. If you do not find any, reload and try again.

Fairly worthless items can be processed to create useful or valuable items. 1 Weed + 1 Branch creates Fertiliser in the first Windmill, unlocked on 24 Spring. Any Branch when chopped with an Axe becomes Lumber. Any Rock when smashed with a Hammer becomes Material Stone. Items retain their rank when processed.

One more point should be made with respect to fairly worthless items. Almost anything placed on your Stall at the Bazaar WILL sell. It is best to place a variety of items on the Stall, however, as customers are more likely to buy one if you have three different types of items on display. In other words, for example, rather than selling three types of insects, it would be better to display one Cooked Item, one Insect and one Crop or Flower. As soon as one slot is empty, fill it with another item, even if all you have are Weeds. Some one will buy... Customers even buy Rotten items at the Bazaar.

Another Bazaar strategy is useful in terms of current Sales Goals. Although meeting your Sales Goal is no guarantee that the Bazaar will expand the next week, it certainly brings Zephyr Town closer to expansion. In Multiplayer Mode, it is better to buy expensive items, depleting your own income, to sell at the next Bazaar than to be in a position where all the Items that you possess, if sold, would not allow you to meet the Sales Goal. Agreeing with other players to sell items at half-price is the best way to make certain that every one can afford to buy the Items on display.

Another tip for Multiplayer Mode is to sell raw ingredients to a Player who has unlocked all the Windmills if you have not done so yourself. Once you quit the game, the buyer can process the items, then sell them back to you in a new Multiplayer game. Good communication is the key to a profitable Multiplayer Neighbourhood Bazaar. You can sell items at the Stalls of other Players at a Neighbourhood Bazaar, but remember always that any item sold is one less item that can be sold at your Weekly Bazaar.

As far as catching insects is concerned, many Insects are caught only if your Character walks instead of running. To catch any Firefly, you should stand in front of the location where its light appeared and, when the light winks into view again, catch the Insect. There are Insects that can be caught only if your Character leaps into the air. A double leap or somersault, followed by a press of the B Button can allow you to catch flying insects that could not be reached from the ground. This is a strategy for catching the Insects that you spy on Tree Trunks. Walk slowly to position yourself in front of the Tree Trunk. When the Insect begins to fly, leap into the air to catch it. See the section devoted to Critter-Catching for more details about every type of insect.

Note that you will have the option when you first catch any Insect either to place it in a cage or to release it. This is the only time when you have the option to release an Insect. Once it is placed in a Cage, you must sell it or give it to some one in order to rid yourself of it.

The third Windmill is the equivalent of a Seed Maker in other Harvest Moon games. Although you can sell Seeds to another Player at your Neighbourhood Bazaar in Multiplayer Mode, you can sell Crops instead. The player who purchases the Crops can convert them into Seeds.

Although Seeds are stored in the same location as all other items in Grand Bazaar, they do not deteriorate over the course of time. If you have not found a specific type of Seed at your Weekly Bazaar, try to obtain the Crop from another Player and then convert it into Seed in your Windmill.


Crop Deterioration


Fertiliser when applied to any growing Crop or Tree will raise its Rank and Quality, but there are actions that will lower a growing Crop's Quality as well.

Players may have noticed the physical effect of stepping on any growing Crop. The Crop will flash red for a moment and you will hear the sound of your Character's feet trampling upon the plant. This is not merely drama, but actually can lower the Rank/Quality of a growing Crop by 1/2 Star. Application of more Fertiliser can restore Quality to a Crop that has been abused by your feet.

Similarly, striking a growing Crop with a Farm Tool, such as Hammer or Hoe, can reduce its Rank/Quality. Striking it with a Sickle will cut it to the ground entirely.

Tree Seeds can be watered only until they reach their full size, but even after reaching full growth, you will be able to continue to fertilise them. Fertilising a Tree Seed or Sapling will improve its Rank/Quality in the same way that fertiliser improves Crops.

Winter Foraging


Iin Winter, you can find Snowballs on the ground. They contain random items, including Ore Stones:

Snowball: Throw it and you might find something inside.

Often, however, a Snowball will contain nothing at all.

In Winter, a multitude of Grasshoppers can be found on the ground on every screen. Ore Stones and Coins can be found throughout the Map as well on the ground.

As in many other Harvest Moon games, 'secret' areas become accessible only in Winter when a river or lake freezes. In Grand Bazaar, you will be able to travel further at both ends of the river when it is frozen in Winter.

On the Waterfall Screen, take the topmost branch of the river to the west to find a little tree-bordered alcove where you often can find items.

On the Hotel Screen, go east past Angelo's house to find a small island where items often can be found.


Insect Values


Many Insects can be found in more than one season, although Frogs of all varieties can be caught only when it rains. Fireflies are Summer Insects and can be found only in the evening and during the night. In order to catch mosts Insects, your Character should Walk, rather than Running. Toggle the L Button to change his/her pace.

To catch any Firefly, stand motionless in front of the location where you saw it first. When its light re-appears, catch it.

Although you should not run towards insects, leaping to catch an insect in the air is possible. You can perform a double leap, then press the B Button to catch a flying insect that cannot be reached from the ground.

Fishing


In Grand Bazaar, you must be very patient where Fishing is concerned. You will not be able to fish at all until Felix gives you the Short Fishing Rod on 1 Summer. It is only in the second Year that you will be able to purchase a Medium Fishing Rod from him at the Weekly Bazaar. To be able to buy the Long Fishing Rod, you must wait until the fourth Year to find it at Felix's Stall at the Bazaar.

You can upgrade any of the Fishing Rods at the second Windmill but the upgrades only improve Rank/Quality. They cannot change the essence of the Tool.

With the Short Fishing Rod, you can catch quite a few different types of Fish. Fish to some extent are location-specific, so you need to fish from every pier. Bad weather is the greatest friend of the fisherman/woman in Grand Bazaar, however, as Hurricanes and Snowstorms drive larger Ocean Fish into the river, allowing you to catch them during severe storm conditions.

Take advantage of any severe storm to fish as much as possible in the first year as this will be your only opportunity to catch some types of Fish until you have a better Fishing Rod.

If you throw any item into the River, it is considered 'littering' and it definitely will affect your ability to catch Fish rather than Rubbish! After littering, expect to catch far more Empty Cans and Long Boots than actual Fish.


Fishing Skill and Quality of Rod


There are a number of different elements that affect Fishing in any Harvest Moon game. In Grand Bazaar, Season, location, weather, choice of Fishing Rod, the Quality/Rank of the Fishing Rod and your Character's own Skill Level in Fishing will determine the Fish that you catch.

With your first Short Fishing Rod, you will be able to catch many varieties of Fish but their Rank/Quality will be fairly low unless you upgrade the Fishing Rod at the 2nd Windmill. With a 5 Star Short Fishing Rod, the Fish that you catch will be 4 1/2 Stars or 5 Stars in Rank/Quality. As discussed previously, there are Fish that cannot be caught with the Short Fishing Rod except during severe storms. There are other varieties of Fish that require either the Medium Fishing Rod or the Long Fishing Rod.

The Medium Fishing Rod will not be available until Spring of the 2nd Year, when you will find it for sale at Felix's Stall for 3000G. Note that the Medium Fishing Rod that you purchase will be of the lowest Rank/Quality with only 1/2 Star. You will be required to upgrade it a number of times at the 2nd Windmill if you wish to have the best Medium Fishing Rod.

Ironically, a player with a 5 Star Short Fishing Rod and a 1/2 Star Medium Fishing Rod will discover that he/she catches more valuable fish for the most part with the Short Fishing Rod, although he/she will be able to catch more varieties of Fish with the Medium Rod. If you wish to make money with the Fish you catch, you should use the Fishing Rod of the highest Rank/Quality. If you wish to complete your Fishing List, use the longest Rod that you own.


Fish Values


As discussed previously, bad weather can be an advantage where Fishing is concerned. Larger Fish as well as different varieties can be caught when it rains and a Hurricane often can be an opportunity to catch rare Fish. Even with the basic Fishing Rod, your Character may catch large Fish during a Hurricane. The largest and rarest Fish may be attracted to your bait during a Hurricane as well, but your Character will lose them in the end, as the basic Rod lacks the necessary strength. The Hotel Screen is best for catching ocean Fish in these conditions.

Items that can be caught with your first basic 'short' fishing rod:

Cooked Dishes


Cooked Dishes as in most Harvest Moon games, have higher values than raw items. The first Cooked Dishes that you can make without any trouble should be Turnips and Steamed Mushrooms.

Failed Dish: 1G

Steamed Mushrooms (1 1/2 Stars): 315G

When you buy your first Chick and it becomes an adult, you can make a Boiled Egg:

Boiled Egg (2 Stars): 80G

Items that you buy at the Cafe can be resold for a lesser price than you paid originally. The price will differ if you make the item in your own Kitchen only if the Quality is higher. Cooked Dishes purchased from Joan tend to be 1/2 Star Quality, where Cooked Dishes from your own Kitchen should be higher.

You will find the values of Items made in your Kitchen as well as their prices when sold by Joan in the Kitchen Recipes section of this Guide.

If you wish to complete your own Cookbook as quickly as possible, it is a good idea to purchase Cooked Dishes from Joan whenever it is one for which you cannot obtain the ingredients yet. Until Rice (uncooked) appears at Chen's Stall at the Bazaar, you will be unable to make any Dishes that require Rice. Until you are able to obtain Flour, you will be unable to cook any Dishes that require Flour or Bread....

Another strategy for completing a Cookbook as early as possible is to ask your Friends to share their Cooked Dishes in Multiplayer Mode. Any Cooked Dish purchased at a Neighbourhood Stall is given with its Recipe.

Incidentally, as with any of the Skill or Experience Levels that are linked to a Title in Grand Bazaar, it is not the number of Dishes that you make in your Kitchen, but the number of NEW Dishes that you make that ultimately will increase your Experience/Skill Levels and grant you new Titles as a new Dish gives you far more points than one you have cooked previously.


Kitchen Recipes


Your Kitchen will be available at the very start of the game. Recipes are sorted into six different Categories and can be obtained through 'trial and error' or by purchasing a Cooked Dish from Joan at the Zephyr Cafe or at her Stall at the weekly Bazaar. Two of the earliest Dishes that you can make are Turnip Salad and Steamed Mushrooms.

Ingredients are given as pictures but if you use the Touchsceen to tap the icon with two arrows that is to the left of the X at the bottom of the Recipe List, you will be taken to a Touchscreen Recipe where you can tap on the ingredient picture to see a written description.

Very early Recipes that you should be able to make include:

Turnip Salad:
Ingredients: Turnip
Value: (1 1/2 Stars): 210G

Steamed Mushrooms (2 Stars): 360G
Ingredients: Shitake

When you have an adult Chicken, which can be as early as the second week in Spring, she will lay one egg per day if healthy. You then can make the following:

Boiled Egg:
Ingredients: Egg

Egg Custard (3 Stars): 550G
Ingredients: Egg + Shitake

An Egg Custard that has 2 1/2 Stars sells for 495G to Raul and double that at your Bazaar Stall. Mushrooms tend to appear most often during or after rain, although they can appear in any weather and can be stored.

Note that although most Recipes require no additional Utensils, there are Cooked Dishes that cannot be made successfully unless you have a special Utensil, such as a Pot or Frying Pan or Seasonings.

In Grand Bazaar, Recipes given by Joan do not display anything but the ingredients and the description. If any Utensil is needed to prepare the Dish successfully, the Recipe often will not make this clear. In cases where NO Utensil is needed, moreover, the description sometimes mentions Utensils. For example:

Herb Salad:
Ingredients: Mint + Chamomile + Lavender
A mixed herb salad. Has a nice fragrance.

In fact, although this is a Salad, you will need a Pot in order to make it successfully.

Fried Egg, on the other hand, requires no special Utensil, although:

Fried Egg:
Ingredients: Egg + Oil
A simple and easy dish. Just fry it up in a pan.

As you can see, the description declares that you need to 'fry it up in a pan' but you can make it without a Frying Pan.

The Pot and Frying Pan will be sold at the Cookware Stall when the Bazaar is expanded for the first time. Each will cost 10,000G. When I bought the Pot, Seasonings were added to the Menu for 10,000G the next week. Where any Cooking Utensil is required, that information has been included in the Recipe whenever possible. If you have a Recipe for a Cooked Dish, but it requires Cookware that you do not have, you will see a prompt to that effect at the top of your screen when you access the Recipe.

An interesting fact about Cooking in Grand Bazaar is that ingredients that are going bad often can be used to create a Cooked Dish and when the Dish is completed, it will be 'Super Fresh'. This is true both of items made in the Kitchen and at any of the Windmills. You therefore should cook any items that are losing their Freshness if possible rather than selling them at a reduced price. Even a 'Rotten' Item can be used in cooking and will regain some quality as a Cooked Dish.

For example, a Rotten Milk when cooked will become Hot Milk that is 'getting bad' but not rotten.

There are some Fish that cannot be used in the Kitchen, whether you catch them in your own village or in another Player's village. Among these are the Ayumadoki, the Moray Eel and the Bluegill. Where Fish Dishes are concerned, most of the Recipes will specify a particular variety of Fish, but you usually will be able to substitute other varieties. As time permits, I will add optional ingredients and substitutions to the Recipes List.


Cooking Festival


You will experience two Cooking Festivals in the middle of the first Autumn. By this time, your Character should have all Cookware and a decent array of Ingredients and Recipes. The Festival occurs in two consecutive days. The Theme on the first day is Entrees and the Theme on the second is Desserts.

One of the purposes of any Cooking Festival in Harvest Moon is to introduce new Dishes to players. In the first year, you are likely to see Dishes on the Table that you have not encountered at Joan's Cafe or Stall.

As with most Festivals in Grand Bazaar, the Cooking Festivals are held at noon in the Town Square. Felix presides but then announces a visiting expert judge in the person of Pierre from Sunny Island/Sunshine Islands!

It is not difficult to win 1st Prize in the Cooking Festival in Grand Bazaar. A player can cheat a little by purchasing a Cooked Dish in Multiplayer Mode but you will not win if you enter a Dish purchased from the Cafe as they are of poor quality at 1/2 Stars.

For the Entree, a simple Fish Stew of 3 1/2 Stars Quality made with a Silver Goby in a Pot won 1st Prize. The prize is a Truffle, given by Pierre.

The theme for the second Day in the Cooking Festival is Desserts in the first year. Freshness possibly is as critical in determining the quality of your Dish as the Rank or Stars that it has. With a 4 Star Pudding that was only 'fairly fresh', Freyja did not win 1st Prize, but with a 4 Star Pumpkin Pudding that was 'Super Fresh', she did. The prize if you win in both Categories (Entree and Dessert) is a Pink Diamond. If you win only the Dessert Contest, you will receive the prize of a Tin of Blueberry Tea from Pierre.


Optional Ingredients

Although Recipes may be very specific where Ingredients are concerned, especially for Fish Dishes, substitutions as well as additions may be possible.

For example, the ingredient for Sashimi is Tuna, but you will find that Sculpin can be substituted in its place. For Fish Stew, the ingredient is Silver Goby but Dark Sleepr can be used as well.

For Mushroom Dishes, often Shimeji can be substituted for or added to Shitake to create the Dish. When the ingredient is an addition rather than a substitution, the result, if successful, will be an improved Dish.

When substitutions can be made, you cannot use the existing Recipe to cook the Dish. Choose the option to cook without the Recipe, then place the ingredients manually in the Ingredients Slots. Recipes are very specific where any Ingredient is concerned.

For example, if the Recipe recorded for Fish Stew contains Silver Goby as an Ingredient and you wish to make it using a Mackerel instead, you cannot use the existing Recipe as it will search for a Silver Goby in vain. Instead, place the Mackerel in the Ingredient Slot and choose the option to Start preparing the Dish. It will make Fish Stew successfully, tell you that the new Dish is almost the same as the old one and ask you if you wish to rewrite the Recipe. If you choose to rewrite it, the Recipe will specify Mackerel instead of Silver Goby.

Similarly, if you make Egg Custard with Egg, Shitake and Shimeji and record that Recipe, then try to make another Egg Custard with only Egg and Shitake, you will be told you do not have sufficient ingredients. You need to choose the option to 'Cook without Recipe' to make an Egg Custard with only one type of Mushroom if your improved recorded Recipe has two.


Ingredients from the Bazaar


Ingredients for Cooked Dishes can consist of Items found by foraging, Crops grown on your Farm, Ranch Products obtained from your Animals, ingredients such as Rice or Oil purchased from Chen after the Bazaar's 1st Expansion or Cooked Dishes. Your first source of Cooked Dishes will be Joan, who sells them at her Cafe and at the Weekly Bazaar even before it is expanded.

With the Bazaar's 2nd Expansion, Claire will open her own Stall at the Bazaar, where she will sell Cooked Dishes that are made with Soybeans and Rice Candy, allowing you to cook new Dishes.

If you wish to complete your Cookbook as early as possible in the game, you should be aware always of the appearance of new Dishes at Joan's Cafe or the Bazaar Stalls where Cooked Dishes are sold. Although most Dishes use only raw ingredients, there are a number that use a Cooked Dish. Cooked Dishes that are required ingredients in more than one Recipe include Bread and Cake.

Incidentally, although Claire sells Cooked Dishes made with Rice Candy as well as Soybean Products, it is Felix who offers Rice Candy at his Stall near the end of the first Winter. Sad to say, Rice Candy is not given away at the New Year's Eve Festival in the Square. In fact, you will not be given any food items to take home, although you will be treated to a feast in situ after 8.00 p.m.

Felix will begin to sell Wheat Seeds at his Stall at the Bazaar in Spring of the second Year. Wheat takes 50 Days to mature and can be grown only from Spring through the end of Autumn, so you should buy as many Seeds as possible at the first Bazaar in Spring. Wheat after it is harvested can be processed into Flour at the 3rd Windmill.


Kitchen Recipe Cookbook


In Grand Bazaar, the Recipe in your Cookbook in the Kitchen is not Utensil-specific. You simply stand in front of the Kitchen counter to cook, using any or none of the Cookware that you have. The only indication of the need for Cookware will be displayed if you do NOT have the necessary Utensil. You then will see a prompt at the top of the screen to the effect that you are lacking the necessary Cookware, without specifying which Utensil is needed.

Cost refers to the cost you pay for the Dish with 1/2 Star Quality if you purchase the Cooked Dish at the Zephyr Cafe or Joan's Bazaar Stall. Value is the price that any merchant will pay for your Cooked Dish. I therefore have specified the actual Quality of the Dish sold for that price as Dishes made in your Kitchen usually will have a better Quality than those sold by Joan.

There are some Fish that cannot be used in the Kitchen, whether you catch them in your own village or in another Player's village. Among these are the Ayumadoki, the Moray Eel and the Bluegill. Where Fish Dishes are concerned, most of the Recipes will specify a particular variety of Fish, but you usually will be able to substitute other varieties. As time permits, I will add optional ingredients and substitutions to the Recipes List.

Windmills in Grand Bazaar



1st Windmill Tutorial


On Tuesday, 24 Spring at 6.00 a.m., you should receive a visit from Isaac. This Event will unlock the first Windmill that is located on your own Farm. Isaac will give you a little tutorial about Windmills in general and the Windmill on your farm specifically.

Each of the Windmills has a slightly different function in terms of the Items it can create. The 1st Windmill deals with fermentation and therefore is the one where all Pickles, alcoholic beverages and Yogurts are created, among other things. Butter and Cheese are made at this Windmill as well.

Isaac: Windmills are very useful, and can ghelp you alot. They use the power of the wind to make things. It's quite convenient, actually! Please, follow me.

He takes me inside the Windmill below my field.

Isaac: Are you surprised? It's great, isn't it? I said earlier that windmills can make many different things. This windmill will ferment whatever you decide to use. For instance, milk becomes cheese, and eggs become mayonnaise. You can make many things from simple ingredients.

Now, let's go through how to use the windmill. First, place the item you wish to ferment here. After that, you'll be able to choose what you want to make. The necessary ingredients are chosen for you, so just decide how many you want. You can make up to six types of items at once.

That metre tells you what you're making right now. It also tells you how much time is left until the item will be complete. The time needed will depend on wind strength. Stronger winds mean shorter times! When this light starts to blink, your item is ready. And then you just take your completed item out of here!

And that's the basics of how you use a windmill! Oh, do you happen to have any Wonderfuls, Freya?

Me: ?

Isaac: Wonderfuls can make the windmill more powerful! There are 6 kinds, each with their own unique effects! If you find one, just put it in here!

And that's how you use a Windmill!... Please use the wiindmill with care. Ah yes... Here's a helpful tip if you want to shorten the waiting time... Stand near the blades of the windmill, then blow into the microphone. Something very interesting should occur...

Me: ?

Isaac: Heh heh heh... Give it a try! There are two other windmills here in town, so I'll fix them up too. I'll come tell you when you can use them. Well, I''ll be going now. Enjoy using the windmill!

When the Event ends, explore the Windmill Menu and you will find a list of Recipes. Choose:

Use the Windmill?

You then will have access to the Recipe List.

Incidentally, blowing on the microphone can decrease the time for any Item significantly. Weather will affect the Wind as well. Times given here are the 'default' times, which translates to the longest possible time it can take to complete the Recipe.


1st Windmill Recipe List


Ingredients for Recipes are displayed in the Menu solely in picture form, but this is one situation where you can use the Touchscreen. Change the view to a Touchscreen view by tapping on the little double arrows to the left of the X, then tap on the icon of the ingredient to see a written description of it.

Although you can make Wine and Tea at this Windmill, they will not be ready for consumption afterwards. Wine as well as Beer and Champagne must be poured into a Glass in your Kitchen using the proper Recipe and Tea must be brewed.

2nd Windmill: Forging and Manufacturing


On 16 or 17 Summer, you should receive another Visit from Isaac at 6.00 a.m. to unlock the second Windmill. This is the Windmill south of the Hotel and west of Angelo's House. Isaac will describe it as the 'last Windmill' but it actually is the second of three that will be unlocked in the first year.

It is this Windmill that allows you to forge more powerful tools and create Accessories.

As Isaac will explain:

Isaac: This windmill lets you manufacture various items. For example, ore becomes accessories, and tools can become more powerful. With the right ingredients, you can make all kinds of items! You use it the same way you use the other windmills.

You should be able to upgrade some of your Tools as soon as the Windmill is unlocked if you have stored the necessary Ores for the upgrades. In particular, the first Fishing Rod upgrade is easy to perform as it requires only one piece of Lumber and a piece of Copper. It does take 48 hours so you need to resign yourself to the loss of this Tool for three days unless you are willing to expend a large amount of energy blowing on the microphone to speed the Windmill. Furthermore, Tool Upgrades in Grand Bazaar resemble those in Rune Factory more than traditional Harvest Moon games, as you will need to upgrade the Tool a number of times to improve its Rank or Quality significantly. Each upgrade only improves Rank by half a Star. Note that you never will be able to create a NEW Tool from an existing Tool.

It is only in the second Year that the Medium Fishing Rod will appear at Felix's Stall at the Bazaar and only in the fourth Year that the Long Fishing Rod will appear.

Even with the original, unimproved Short Fishing Rod, you will be able to catch rather decent Fish, however, especially in bad weather. Severe storms such as Hurricanes and Snowstorms tend to bring larger, ocean fish into the River at the Hotel Screen. Some may prove too powerful for your basic Fishing Rod but you may be surprised nonetheless as to what you can catch without any upgrades.

Only the Hoe, Watering Can and Fishing Rod can be upgraded in Grand Bazaar.

The 3rd Windmill


Although Isaac will tell you that the 2nd Windmill is the 'last' Windmill, players will know at once that this cannot be true, as there is another Windmill near the Waterfall.

On 3 Autumn, Isaac will appear at your Farmhouse to announce that he has unlocked the third Windmill.

Isaac: This Windmill is used for grinding items. For example, crops will make seeds and wheat will make flour. With the right ingredients, you can make all kinds of items!

As you can see, the third Windmill takes the place of the Seedmaker as well as the Mills in other Harvest Moon games.

Multiplayer Games


Grand Bazaar has a Multiplayer Option that allows four players to play together. One player must host the game at his/her farm. One to three other Players can join him/her either through DS to DS local connection or the Nintendo World Centre with a Friend Code. You do not need a Friend Code to play DS to DS but you do need to have one if you wish to use the internet option. Any one who has unlocked the Multiplayer Option will be capable of joining a game.

The Multiplayer Option allows up to three players to 'visit' another player's farm. When this visit occurs, it will not occur on the current date in any player's game but may be instead on the first day of the Host Player's current season. All Players will begin at the Hotel, where Stuart will greet them and tell them the rules.

Before you embark on any Multiplayer venture, you should choose three Bazaar items to sell at the Neighbourhood Bazaar (the Multiplayer Bazaar). As with the weekly bazaar, you can choose a stack of items or a single item for each of the three slots. In the Multiplayer option, you can choose to sell the items either for full price or half-price. Half-price is the price that Raul or any merchant normally pays for your items, incidentally.

With respect to this, it is only items that are in your Bag that are eligible. You cannot go to your Storage once you choose Multiplayer Mode. This can present a problem if you did not plan ahead for the Multiplayer game and the items you intended to sell remain in your Storage Room. You therefore need to place the items you wish to sell in your Bag on the previous night before you go to bed and save the game.

There are three basic steps to follow in order to play in Multiplayer Mode. First choose the method by which the game will be played, whether it is 'local' (DS to DS) or internet (Nintendo World Centre). Then select three items from your Bag to sell at the Bazaar. You must select the items before you begin the Multiplayer Game but if you do not wish to sell any items for any reason, you can decline this option.

The location of the game is the next choice, whether you wish to Host the game on your own farm or visit another farm. Season is the most important consideration here. Any Multiplayer game begins, by default, on the 1st day of the Host's current season. If the Host is willing to share Crops to the other players, he/she should make certain that they are ready to harvest or will be ready in a day or so. Other seasonal considerations are the types of Fish that can be caught in the Host's town.

When one player has chosen the option to Host the game, he/she must save. Other players then will be able to join the game. When all players have joined, the Host will be able to begin the Multiplayer Game.

The game will begin at the Hotel with a rather long-winded explanation by Stuart. Due to an unspecified 'incident', it is forbidden to hold items over a player's head during Multiplayer games. What this means, in fact, is that items cannot be tossed on the ground or given as Gifts. They CAN be sold at the Neighbourhood Stalls of other players as long as the Stalls have items on display.

In any Multiplayer game, you can explore the host's village, speaking to other Characters as well as harvesting any Crops that are ripe on the host's field. You will not be able to find any Insects or items for foraging but you can dive in the river for items. If you have a Fishing Rod, you can fish.

Remember to keep empty slots in your Bag if possible in order to be able to store the Fish you catch and the items you find in the River.

When you wish to sell or buy items, you need to go to the Bazaar Grounds where you will find that agents have set up stalls for all the Players. You can Buy the items at any Stall or sell items from your Bag but only while another Player still has items to sell at his/her Neighbourhood Stall. Once all items are purchased, the only message you will receive is the fact that the items are sold out.

You can speak to Zephyr Town Characters in Multiplayer Mode and some of them will give you the 'Records' of all participating players in collecting Insects, bouncing off Animals and other activities. You cannot use the Windmills in Multiplayer Mode, nor can you purchase any items at the Cafe, although Marian will urge you to bring your Friends to the Cafe for a cup of coffee. You may learn interesting information from players as well. The Twins will tell you that although Cindy likes Yam dessert, it is Lauren's Most Favourite Dish.

Characters have different dialogues on different days. By staying in Multiplayer Mode more than one day, you may discover more interesting facts. For example, Freya may tell you on the third day that:
Freya: Ivan loves herb perfume. I like it too, so I told him about a perfume and cologne shop in the city.
On a rainy day, Dirk may declare that:
Dirk: Cooking on rainy days is the best! This is my special fried Rice Ball recipe! My brother loves it!
Another interesting fact can be gleaned from Ivan with respect to the Huchen, a rare fish.
Ivan: You can find a rare fish here when it gets cool. What was it called...? Bochen? Muchen? It was something like that, but I can't quite remember.
When you are finished with the multiplayer game, return to the Hotel and tell Stuart that you are ready to sleep for the night in your room. All players must go to bed before the game can be saved and terminated.

You can play through more than one day in Multiplayer Mode. It is the Host's prerogative to end the game at the end of the day or continue it. If you wish to play through more than one day, it is a good idea to keep the Neighbourhood Stalls open by leaving one item for sale at each one. That way, you can sell unwanted items in order to maintain empty slots in your Bag. You can make quite a decent profit if you spend a few days fishing in Multiplayer Mode as long as you can continue to sell the fish you catch.

Be warned, however, that Items in your Bag will deteriorate over the course of time even in Multiplayer Mode. If the item is merely 'fairly fresh' when you begin the game and you stay more than a day or two, it may begin to go off. It is better, therefore to sell items that are 'fairly fresh' at the Neighbour Stall immediately or you will find that their value has decreased by the time you are forced to sell the item before it rots completely.

Note about Host Farm: Although any Multiplayer game begins on the first day of the Host Player's current Season, time does run as far as Crops are concerned. You therefore do need to water any Crops that have not matured or they will appear dry the next day. When Multiplayer Mode continues through more than one day, you need to water all Crops every day. Any player can do this. As weather is variable in Multiplayer Mode, you may experience rainy days when Crops need no care.

Leaving ripened Crops on the ground is a good strategy for a Multiplayer game as well as every player, including the host, will be able to harvest the Crops during the Multiplayer sesson!

When any Crop dries out from a day's neglect, it can be recovered if you water it the following day, but this neglect will delay your harvest by at least a day and possibly downgrade the quality of the Crop as well. It appears that Multiple Harvest Crops can be harvested only once in any Multiplayer game. When any Crop is harvested on the Host's Farm, it becomes black for the remainder of the game. This does not signify death, by the way, but simply that it cannot be harvested again. You should continue to water Crops that have turned black!

One of the great virtues of Multiplayer Mode is the ability to obtain items that are not in season in your own game. There are a few Recipes that require items from more than one season. For example, Herb Salad requires all three Herbs. Perfumes use Flowers or Fruits from more than one season.

If one of the players has all three Windmills and the others do not have them yet, Multiplayer Mode will allow you to 'sell' raw ingredients to the Player with the Windmills, so that he/she can process them. Start another Multiplayer game after the first has been terminated to 'sell' the items in processed form back to the Player who provided them.

Note that, if any Player buys a Cooked Dish for which he/she does not have the Recipe yet from a Neighbourhood Stall, the vendor will teach him/her the Recipe. This is a method by which new Recipes can be added to your Cookbook if you do not have the ingredients to make them yet.

If you find a Cooked Dish inside a Snowball or receive one as a prize without having the Recipe for it, selling it during a Multiplayer Game is a method by which another player can obtain the Recipe, then tell it to you or sell you the item back in a second session.

There are some Fish that cannot be used in the Kitchen, whether you catch them in your own village or in another Player's village. Among these are the Ayumadoki, the Moray Eel and the Bluegill.


Farming Tasks in Multiplayer Mode


As previously stated, all Crops in the Host's Village will need to be watered daily during a Multiplayer session unless it rains. What is interesting about Multiplayer Mode is that a field can be tilled and new Seeds planted as well. This can give the Host a little headstart on growing new Crops as well as saving time by performing the task during a Multiplayer session.

The Multiplayer Sessions by default always begin on the 1st day of the Host's current Season. If the Host's actual game would be at the first day of a new Season with dead Crops standing in the Field, these can be removed during a Multiplayer Session.



First Year Calendar


Although you will find a Calendar on your Wall, it is useful to include a Calendar of Festivals and Birthdays in any Harvest Moon guide.

Where Events that unlock new options are concerned, the default date is given, but in many cases, as with the Windmill Events, good weather is a requirement. If it rains on the default date, the Event will occur only on the next Sunny Day.

The Calendar of Festivals, Birthdays and Bazaar Days for the first Year and second Spring is as follows:

Locked Areas


There are areas on the Map at the start of the game that are inaccessible. If you attempt to go into the cave behind the Waterfall, you will see a prompt to the effect that:

There's a strange power here... but nothing seems to be happening right now.

In the second year, you will be able to encounter a Girl named Emiko here. Her Introduction Event can occur as early as 1 Spring in the 2nd Year when you enter the Waterfall screen from the Farm Screen at night. She will be eligible for marriage if your Character is a Boy.

If you go west past Lloyd's house, you will arrive at a large pile of boulders that prevents access to the area to the north.

Once Felix gives you a Horse, you will experience an Event wherein Wilbur will clear the path and you will gain access to a racecourse. You will be able to practice racing here as well as racing your horse here in the Horse Race.

As for Mining and Ores: You cannot gain access to a Mine, as far as I know. The Small Coins that you find in the river and on the ground can be used to create metals. Ore Stones can be found in the river. They contain Ores. Lloyd sells Ores at the Bazaar.

You can upgrade your Tools and craft Accessories and Charms at the 2nd Windmill. Wonderfuls are sold at the Bazaar after its final expansion.


Bazaar Dialogues


The Weekly Bazaar in Grand Bazaar, apart from being the venue for many Stalls where unique items and services can be purchased, actually consists primarily of two separate Mini-Games at your Character's Stall. The first is the Selling Game. When you offer items in the three slots at your Stall, you must be quick and accurate if a Customer offers to buy them. The number of items a Customer wishes to buy will be displayed and you must press the A Button the correct number of times to fill the order. If you are too slow, the Customer will leave and you will lose the sale.

The second Mini-Game is the Reputation Mini-Game. This consists of Dialogue with a Customer. The Customer can be one of the unnamed generic Customers who attend the Weekly Bazaar or it can be one of your fellow villagers. A request for Dialogue is displayed by an icon of a little head with mouth open. You always will be given a choice of three Responses. The Response that you choose will determine whether your Reputation increases or decreases. In some cases, your Response can result in a significant profit or loss in terms of sales as well.

Reputation is a Weekly Contest that always begins at zero. With any specific encounter at your Stall, [possible Responses can be worth +10 Reputation Points, +5 Reputation Points, -5 Reputation Points or -10 Reputation Points. There will be three Choices in any situation.

To win the Prize for having the 'Happiest Customers', you need to earn +60 Reputation Points. The visitors who appear for social interactions always are loaded randomly. You may not have any social encounters or you may have a host of visitors at any given Bazaar. The prizes you can win at any Bazaar Level are given in the section that deals with Bazaar Goals and Prizes.

The following are specific Dialogues with Customers. The correct response and the result in terms of Reputation and profit or loss are included.

The Fine Art of Critter-Catching


Insects are as important as Fish in Grand Bazaar in terms of completing your Character's Collections in his/her Farm Assets Menu. There is a separate Tab for Insects where you will find every type of Insect that you have caught listed.

Your Character will have a 'Critter-Catching' Title as well and when he/she catches a specific number of new types of insects, his/her Skill level will increase and a new Title will be awarded. It is not the sum total of ALL insects caught that raises Skill but the total of new types of Insects.

Catching Insects requires a number of different strategies that depend on the type of insect. Some insects need to be approached slowly by walking. Others can be caught only if your Character leaps into the air. Knowing your Insects' behaviour patterns is the key to success.

To catch any Butterfly, you either can walk towards it and catch it while it is hovering close to the ground or leap upward to catch it in mid-flight. Butterflies are fairly easy to catch.

Easier even than Butterflies, however, are the Locusts and Grasshoppers that hop across the ground on every screen. You simply need to position yourself properly to catch them. Whether you walk or run is irrelevant, although you probably can position yourself more precisely if you are walking.

Fireflies appear in the Summer and these require very slow movements. In fact, if you run towards a Firefly, it will fly away and disappear from the screen. Walk towards the Firefly, then note its precise position and stand in front of that spot. Its light will wink in and out. When its light appears, catch it from your stationary position.

A large variety of Cicadas and Beetles appear in Summer as well on the trunks of Trees as well as the walls of buildings. These require some skill to catch in the sense that it is a two-part process. As with Fireflies, if your Character is running, the Insects will be startled and fly away to disappear entirely from the screen. What you need to do is walk very slowly to a position that is within a square of the Insect's position. In some cases, it is easier to approach it from the side rather than the front. The Tree in front of Angelo's house is an example of a situation where you will have greater success if you approach from the side. The second part of the strategy requires that your Character leap towards the Tree, pressing the B Button to catch the Insect at the same time. With these Insects, you only have one chance to succeed. If you miss, the Insect will fly away.

Dragonflies can be caught either when running or walking, leaping or standing. They are fairly fast, however, and will cross the river repeatedly. In the section that gives the locations of all Insects by Season, Dragonflies are listed on both the north and south back of the River on almost all screens. You cannot be more precise than that. Even on the Farm screen, the Dragonflies and Skimmers will move from north to south and cover considerable ground.

Frogs appear only in bad weather and certain varieties only appear during Hurricanes. They will appear on every screen, but as always, the varieties are location-specific.

Insects are time-specific as well as location-specific. Some Insects are found only during the Evening and Night. Others are found in the Morning or during the entire Day. You need to hunt Insects at all hours of the Day and Night in every type of Weather if you wish to achieve 100% completion and the ultimate Critter-Catching Title.

Incidentally, in some locations, you will see that there are two specific Insects that can be found during any Season. One often is more uncommon than the other. This is particularly true of the Insects that are found on Tree Trunks on any screen.
