I will also explain the mechanics behind how their location is determined, what is and what isn't randomly generated, and also uncover the mysterious Gourmet Judge's seemingly rare appearances at the crossroads. This will also include special appearances for the five marryable girls in Harvest Moon 64. You'll notice the five marryable girls, are vastly more detailed than the rest and it is not because I got lazy for the rest of the NPCs, it is because the other NPCs weren't programmed with complicated location agendas and have a very simple few locations each. Look at Kent, Stu, and May for example. Not to mention every bit of detail on the girl's whereabouts will come in handy for those infamously difficult Full Album challenge runs. @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Version History & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Versi] Version 1.00 - May 30th, 2011 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ I only expect to release this document once, in terms of content as I'm very certain I've uncovered everything right down to the programming aspect of it all. Updates will likely be grammatical and / or spelling fixes, or otherwise information I either discover myself, or I'm informed of and tests prove such information to be positive and accurate. I completed all of this work beforehand, as I'm simply not the type of guy that likes to submit half or partially completed work, thus the only date I really have to provide at this time is the release date to GameFAQs.

It seems that the general HM64 players have not been entirely aware of exactly how the randomization of certain NPC's locations works. It is fairly complicated to figure out (which I'll take care of the hard work for you all), but once the knowledge is available, it can make convenient routes to your daily searches for certain NPCs something of ease and more on the back burner than ever, allowing you to optimize your time during each day. First of all, every NPC in the game has a unique and special location byte which is randomly generated between the values of 00 and 03 (00, 01, 02, 03). This value can never exceed 03 under any conditions.. leaving the NPCs with only four possible location byte values per NPC. Of course, only one per day is used, as it is a single byte. When you sleep, that is when the number is generated. Generally, every NPC changes to 00, 01, 02, or 03 by exactly a 25% chance each value.. making them entirely equal. The only exception to this is Karen. She has a special pointer which caps off the random number generator (not the location byte) to certain values and cut-offs so she appears at certain locations more than others. Sleeping on Monday night or Tuesday night, there is roughly a 40% chance Karen will be assigned byte 02 or 03. This means she will not appear anywhere in the game for the entire next day, also because she doesn't work the bar on Tuesday or Wednesdays. 02 & 03 usually are specific locations for the NPC to appear on a certain day, but those two values for Karen makes her appear nowhere in the game! So it's a 50 / 50 chance pretty much, that you will see her or not. I would even dare say it's closer to 60% odds that you will see her and 40% odds that you will not. How is their appearance determined exactly? ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A simple series of checksums of very specific bytes when you enter a screen, which are then used in a formula of priority sequence. I will list the bytes that are checked in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Festival byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If the byte is 00 (non-festival day), the NPC will appear. If it is 01 (festival day) the NPC will not appear (at their regular locations). Weather byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The byte that controls "today's weather" is then checked. If it is 01 (sunny), they will appear in their normal locations. If it is 02 (rainy), 03 (snowy), or any other weather value that is not 01.. they will appear in their sheltered / rainy locations as I will from here out call them. Season byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Some NPCs (events not included, such as the hot springs being built etc) will have a specifically scripted, new location to appear during a season, or during certain days of a certain season. If it involves events, basically this byte does not come into play. Day of the month byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Specifically, the Library. It is closed from the 1st to the 10th of every Summer and Winter. Only those two seasons. The NPCs that use the Library (all of them) will have special locations during these 20 days of the year, but revert back to their normal schedules starting on the 11th of those seasons. This only affects the locations of Maria, Harris, and May. Maria gets a new agenda during these days, whereas May and Harris just disappear when they would normally be inside the Library. Weekday byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This is quite possibly the biggest determining factor of where the NPC will actually be at any given time. The basic laws of this byte are whether or not the NPC is having a 'work day'. If they're on a work day, they will be at their work location all day. If they have the day off, they utilize the next bytes to determine their location. (All location bytes will lead them to their normal place at work, maybe a few spaces different then usual or outside the store for example). Location byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ As explained in the opening paragraph, this can range from 00 - 03. This is randomly generated each night. If they are 'off work' on a certain day, depending on the weekday, this byte determines which screen they will appear on. Hour byte ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This has nothing to do with WHERE they are (with a few very specific example like the kids when they leave church after 3:00 pm and hang around various places, always the same places based on weekday / location bytes, until 5:00 pm). Elli changes location in the middle of every Wednesday, regardless of weather... but only from two specific locations which are always the same, every Wednesday, year 'round. Basically, the hourly byte determines whether they are present on the screen when you enter it. For example, Karen is available at the beach every Sunday, with any location byte, between 10:00 am and 5:59 pm. If the hour byte hits 18 (6:00 pm) and you enter the screen, she will not be there. Same goes for byte 06 - 09 (6:00 am - 9:59 am). Some logic ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The season byte and day of the month byte might as well be disregarded as it is unimportant except for the NPCs that use the Library or the ones that disappear entirely during certain seasons... with the exception of Elli who appears at a specific place every Monday during the summer only. Conclusive ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ First note, in case you're wondering what "50% chance" etc. means... it does not mean they only have a 50% chance of appearing on the screen. It means 2 of their 4 possible locations bytes will lead them there. There are only four location bytes four every NPC; 00; 01; 02; and 03. So there is a 25% equal chance they will randomly draw one of those values per day (with the exception of Karen, see opening mechanics paragraph for details). Exploiting the location byte randomization system ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Next, the big myth behind bar mechanics. Yes, I thought this was a separate mechanic from the rest of NPC appearance mechanics, but it turns out that that is not the case! I emphasize the importance of this because I found out that you don't have to manipulate their location like weather, by replaying a day and messing around with save file slots! This is very important to know and why, do you ask? After several tests I found out why you can change what NPCs the bar will have in it every night. And the answer is simple. EVERY NPC RANDOMLY GENERATES THEIR LOCATION WHEN YOU LOAD THE SAVE FILE! The number generates when the morning begins, not right before you save like weather! This makes NPC locations 100% exploitable, the only downside is if you plan on playing your day after you see where they are, then reload the file.. that will not work because they will re-generate their locations when you go to try that day again. That's okay! You can still plan out the main NPCs you want to encounter in that specific day, optimize your route, if they are in the locations you want them to be, great! If not, you don't have to replay the day before like previously thought, but only that day until you get the results you like. The format I will be using for the agendas is simple. The NPCs will be listed in alphebetical order, but within three sub-groups. These groups are; The Girls, The Rivals, amd Everyone Else.. in that order. For the girl's agendas, firstly their weekday schedules will be written as this is the general thing to look out for and follow in order to determine their whereabouts. General comments are then written, followed by special appearances, which for two of the five girls is on the beach at night at certain times and dates, the girl's sick events, the girl's sprained ankle events, and then the girl's dream events. Finally, their hourly agenda will be written. Everyone else, including the rivals will have their weekly / hourly agendas combined as well as any other relevant information to determine their locations. Most of them are quite simple to follow. As a final note before I get to the agendas, when obtaining recipes from the NPCs, location does NOT matter whatsoever. They can be at the bar, or anywhere that is not a festival. Now that the mechanics are explained. I will list a complete agenda for every NPC. HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64xXx~xXxHM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64 | The Girls | HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64xXx~xXxHM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64HM64 [Girls] @-----@ | Ann | @-----@ [LoAnn] Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are her work days... so she will always be on the green ranch. Rainy: Inside green ranch barn in the back. Thursday schedule: Rainy: Nowhere in the HM64 universe. (Technically in the barn, but it's locked all day). 00 - Fisherman tent's screen 01 - Carpenter's house screen 02 - Vineyard 03 - Rick's Tool Shop Sunday schedule: Rainy: In the green ranch barn near the back. 00 - Goddess pond screen 01 - Goddess pond screen 02 - Green Ranch.. a little lower on the screen than usual (down right from working position) 03 - Green Ranch.. a little lower on the screen than usual (down right from working position) Needless to say, she is similar to Maria by having a strict weekday byte priority override most of the time. On rainy days, she has a 100% chance to appear inside the Green Ranch animal barn near the back. However, if that day is a Thursday (day off work) since the barn is locked along with the livestock dealer, she is in fact inside the barn because that is her rain location (regardless of location byte, weather overrides all pretty much) but just cannot be reached. Simply put, Ann is unreachable on rainy Thursdays. Just to clarify, this is her schedule during all four seasons. For winter, replace raining locations with snowing locations. She evens works on her normal days in Winter. Special appearances: If it is Summer, Tuesday night, from 6:00 pm - 8:59 pm, and her location byte has to be 00, (not 01, 02, or 03, basically 25% chance) Ann will show up at the beach. Exploitable use, even though hard to come by ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you have talked to Maria or Ann during the day and given them gifts and received the affection for said gestures... you can gain ANOTHER boost of affection by talking to them again that night, this was tested for both girls for accuracy. You cannot give them a second gift. Too bad they only show up on the beach so rarely, and only these girls, otherwise early girl photo requirements would've become drastically easier without exploits. Thank you scribblykakuloo, for posting the information as it helped me figure out their appearance mechanics. Sick location: When her affection is 120 or higher, and it is raining or snowing, she will appear at her sick location. (One time only event) Must be a day of the week that she is not working and that the Livestock Dealer is open, (Sunday only) enter the Livestock Dealer to trigger the scene. Sprained ankle location: When her affection is 180 or higher, and it is sunny, she will appear at the crossroads. (This happens only once, and won't happen again whether you interact with her while you are on the screen or not). Dream location: When you have triggered Ann's dream, the next sunny day she will appear at the carpenter's house screen. Hourly agenda ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday: 8:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Green Ranch / work) OR 8:00 am - 4:59 pm when it is not sunny. (In the green ranch barn) Thursday: 9:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Fisherman tent's screen, Carpenter's house screen, Vineyard) OR 10:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Tool Shop, because it opens at 10 am) OR unavailable when it is not sunny. Sunday: 8:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Her 2 possible locations) OR 9:00 am - 4:59 pm when it is not sunny. (In the green ranch barn.. no idea why it's 9 am start seeing as it opens at 8 am. Damn mysterious rain). @------@ | Elli | @------@ [LElli] Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are her work days... so she will always be inside the bakery working. Rainy: Inside the bakery. (This work schedule applies to all seasons). Wednesday schedule (all seasons): Rainy: Inside the bakery. 00 - Flower Shop (morning), Next to Ellen outside the bakery (afternoon). 01 - Flower Shop (morning), Next to Ellen outside the bakery (afternoon). 02 - Flower Shop (morning), Next to Ellen outside the bakery (afternoon). 03 - Flower Shop (morning), Next to Ellen outside the bakery (afternoon). Note: Wednesday could be a work day based on her being in a forced location during her entire time of availability in all seasons. If it is 11:59 am or earlier, when you enter the flower shop, she will be there 100% of the time. If it is 12:00 pm later and you enter the north village screen, she is next to her grandmother, Ellen. My theory says this is a day off for her and she enjoys the fundamentals of shopping at the flower shop and spending time with her grandmother. Monday - Spring & Fall & Winter schedule: Rainy: Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! 00 - Carpenter's house screen 01 - Carpenter's house screen 02 - Fisherman's tent screen 03 - Fisherman's tent screen Monday - Summer schedule: Rainy: Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! 00 - Beach, looking out to the side of the dock. 01 - Beach, looking out to the side of the dock. 02 - Beach, looking out to the side of the dock. 03 - Beach, looking out to the side of the dock. Sunday schedule (all seasons): Rainy: Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! (Not even the bakery, though it is open for business). 00 - Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! 01 - Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! 02 - Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! 03 - Nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! This took hours of testing, moving the location byte around as well as trying different hour bytes during the days since she happens to change her position on Wednesdays from before or after noon. She has quite a complex schedule, thanks to the fact that on every Wednesday her character reads from the hour byte script not just for appearance / disappearance, but changes her location in the middle of her usual availability routine. Fortunately, it's always the same. Wednesdays... flower shop in the morning, tending to her grandmother outside the bakery in the afternoon. I have done vast amounts of testing and Elli is nowhere to be found anywhere and anytime on any Sunday, but I think this was 100% intended by the developers.. because if it were a glitch, she would still appear in her rain location even on a Sunday because her workplace (bakery) is open that day. Simple enough to remember that every Monday in the summer, all day, there is a 100% chance she will be standing on the dock at the beach. Any other Monday of the other seasons, she is on one of the two mentioned mountain screens (fisherman's tent screen and carpenter's house screen). If you ever find her on a Sunday, let me know. I don't think it's possible to prove me wrong about this because A) I have her location byte and B) I tested EVERY screen on every hour byte of the day.. even way out of the way ones like the mountain summit or inside the old couple's house on the summit screen. She wants her space on Sundays, so let her be! Special appearances: Sick location: When her affection is 120 or higher, and it is raining or snowing, she will appear at her sick location. (One time only event) Must be a day of the week that the bakery is open, (Tuesday - Sunday) enter the Bakery to trigger the scene. Sprained ankle location: When her affection is 180 or higher, and it is sunny, she will appear at the fisherman's tent screen. (This happens only once, and won't happen again whether you interact with her while you are on the screen or not). Dream location: When you have triggered Elli's dream, the next sunny day she will appear at the South Village screen. Hourly agenda ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 9:00 am - 4:59 pm. (In the bakery, even if it is not sunny) Wednesday 9:00 am - 11:59 am. (In the flower shop, even if it is not sunny) OR 12:00 pm - 4:59 pm. (Outside the bakery, next to Ellen) OR 12:00 pm - 4:59 pm when it is not sunny. (In the bakery). Monday, all of Spring, all of Fall, and all of Winter: 8:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Her 2 possible locations) OR unavailable when it is not sunny. Monday, all of Summer: 8:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Beach, on the dock) OR unavailable when it is not sunny. Sunday: Unavailable at all times, days, and seasons. @-------@ | Karen | @-------@ [LKare] Monday and Thursday are her work days... so she will always be at the Vineyard. Rainy: She does not exist on workdays that rain / snow. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday schedule: Rainy: She does not exist in the rain, period. 00 - Carpenter's house screen 01 - Beach, end of dock 02 - She is nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! 03 - She is nowhere to be found in the HM64 universe! Special note: Because she is the only girl that appears at the bar, instead of the generator drawing equally (25% chance for either 00, 01, 02, 03 like almost every other NPC) her generator is built around so she becomes difficult to find on some Tuesdays and Wednesdays. About a 35% - 45% chance she will never be seen on a Tuesday or Wednesday. She is possible to find every day, however. Just never when it rains. Sunday schedule: Rainy: She does not exist in the rain, period. 00 - Beach, on the shore. 01 - Beach, on the shore. 02 - Beach, on the shore. 03 - Beach, on the shore. Her bar appearance mechanics: There is a 100% chance she will show up at the bar on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.... but unfortunately a 0% chance of showing up at the bar on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is unknown if her bar mechanic has her working on Sunday, because it is closed, so it is pointless to know anyway.. at least until I make a "x building is always open" code for you cheaters. :P Another special note. She seems to be missing on certain days during of Fall after the Vineyard has been restored. She can be found physically working in the Vineyard along with her parents and Kai. Just to clarify, this is her schedule during all four seasons. For winter, replace raining locations with snowing locations. She evens works on her normal days in Winter. Special appearances: Sick location: When her affection is 120 or higher, and it is raining or snowing, she will appear at her sick location. (One time only event) Must be a day of the week that she is not working at the Vineyard, (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) enter Karen's house to trigger the scene. Sprained ankle location: When her affection is 180 or higher, and it is sunny, she will appear at the Vineyard in the far corner. (This happens only once, and won't happen again whether you interact with her while you are on the screen or not). Dream location: When you have triggered Karen's dream, the next sunny day she will appear inside the Vineyard Wine Cellar. Hourly agenda ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Monday, Thursday: 9:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Vineyard / work) OR unavailable when it is not sunny. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday: 10:00 am - 4:59 pm. (Her 2 possible locations) OR unavailable when it is not sunny. Sunday: 10:00 am - 5:59 pm. (Beach) OR unavailable when it is not sunny. SPECIAL - Bar Schedule - Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday only: 6:00 pm - 11:59 pm. (Inside the bar) @-------@ | Maria | @-------@ [LMari] First of all, an important note. Everywhere and every guide I've read states that the library is closed every season after the first spring from the 1st to 10th, no exceptions. This is not true! The library is open all month every Spring and every Fall of every year. However, in Summer and Winter only, the library is closed from the 1st to the 10th. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are her work days... so she will always be at the library working. Rainy: Library remains open, and she is at the library. Spring & Fall - Monday schedule: Rainy: In her house. 00 - Outside the church 01 - Outside the church 02 - Fisherman's tent screen 03 - Fisherman's tent screen Summer 1st - Summer 10th schedule: Rainy: In her house. 00 - Carpenter's house screen 01 - Carpenter's house screen 02 - Goddess pond screen 03 - Goddess pond screen Important note: Once you reach the 11th of Summer, her schedule reverts back to the NORMAL Spring & Fall schedule... all 7 days of the week where she would be in those seasons. Winter 1st - Winter 10th schedule: Snowy: In her house. 00 - In her house. 01 - In her house. 02 - In the church, playing the organ. 03 - In the church, playing the organ. Important note: Once you reach the 11th of Winter, her schedule reverts back to the NORMAL Spring & Fall schedule... all 7 days of the week where she would be in those seasons. So.. Maria has a much more complicated schedule than I thought originally, but thanks to having her correct byte, I was able to monitor and learn exactly what the possibilities are and what affects the changes. Now you should always know where to look on whatever days. Seems she really doesn't like the cold when Winter first hits, but gradually gets used to it until about... oh... the 11th, give or take a few in game hours. Then she becomes immune and takes her spring / fall stances on Mondays as usual. Hah. Special appearances: If it is Summer, Sunday night, from 6:00 pm - 8:59 pm, and her location byte has to be 00, (not 01, 02, or 03, basically 25% chance) Maria will show up at the beach. Exploitable use, even though hard to come by ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you have talked to Maria or Ann during the day and given them gifts and received the affection for said gestures... you can gain ANOTHER boost of affection by talking to them again that night, this was tested for both girls for accuracy. You cannot give them a second gift. Too bad they only show up on the beach so rarely, and only these girls, otherwise early girl photo requirements would've become drastically easier without exploits. Thank you scribblykakuloo, for posting the information as it helped me figure out their appearance mechanics. Sick location: When her affection is 120 or higher, and it is raining or snowing, she will appear at her sick location. (One time only event) Must be a day of the week that the Library is closed, (Monday only) enter Maria's / The Mayor's house to trigger the scene. Sprained ankle location: When her affection is 180 or higher, and it is sunny, she will appear inside the Library. (This happens only once, and won't happen again whether you interact with her while you are on the screen or not). Dream location: When you have triggered Maria's dream, the next sunny day she will appear inside the Library.

She's probably the hardest girl to track down on her days off work since all three of those days she is found in different locations. Fortunately for whatever type of run you're doing, she is not a big priority whatsoever. Just to clarify, this is her schedule during all four seasons. For winter, replace raining locations with snowing locations. She even works on her normal days in Winter. Special appearances: Sick location: When her affection is 120 or higher, and it is raining or snowing, she will appear at her sick location. (One time only event) Must be a day of the week that the Flower Shop is open, (Monday - Saturday) enter the Flower Shop to trigger the scene. Sprained ankle location: When her affection is 180 or higher, and it is sunny, she will appear at the carpenter's house screen. (This happens only once, and won't happen again whether you interact with her while you are on the screen or not). Dream location: When you have triggered Popuri's dream, and the bridge has been built on Moon Mountain, the next sunny day she will appear hanging from the cliff in danger, on the carpenter's house screen.

The exact mechanics behind it are simple. The game begins with Basil scripted as "absent" from the HM64 universe. If you enter your farm screen (outside your house) any day from and including Spring 15th until Fall 4th, Basil will greet you immediately as you enter the screen. Whether you choose to talk to him or not, from that moment he is back within the HM64 universe, including the 15th, he begins appearing at these locations. You can't skip this by waking up on the 15th and sleeping any number of days without going outside, then hoping he didn't return (or come back), for the script is designed to have that event stay there every morning until you enter that screen.. and since you have to enter that screen to leave your house and go anywhere, you basically have no choice. The same goes for when he leaves in Fall. Including and after Fall 5th, he will be scripted to appear until you trigger the event. Which means including the 5th and onward, he will not be in his regular places, he will vanish from the HM64 universe until Spring 15th of the next year. I am not going to bother trying to see if you can skip his return / leave or glitch the script to work in any way it wasn't intended as this would require sleeping through entire seasons, and anyone who would utilize that tactic in any kind of run is just plain stupid (no offense to those who disagree). Summary: Basil is available from Spring 15th until Fall 4th, every year. This includes his bar appearances, he will never appear at the bar unless he is 'available'. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: 9:00 am - 4:59 pm. (00 / 01 / 02 / 03 - In the flower shop) 100% chance, weather does not matter.

There's a very simple science to him appearing at the crossroads once you know what triggers what in what order and what is required (I'll pretend that wasn't confusing the write). First of all, you need to restore the vineyard. You do not need to partake of the Karen photo event, but the vineyard must be restored. Exactly one month after Fall 7th (Winter 7th and anytime after that) when you enter your farm screen between 3:00 pm and 4:59 pm, Karen will arrive and let you sample the new 'sweet wine' now that it is ready. This triggers her scene byte, but also this other mysterious byte that I have now labeled as the Gourmet Byte. Both byte changes are permanent once you view that specific Karen scene. Anyways, once the gourmet byte has been triggered, there are two conditions left in order for him to appear. -The time of day has to be between 9:00 am and 4:59 pm. -His location byte has to be 00 (cannot be 01, 02, or 03). He begins to appear in these conditions (basically a 25% chance every day) on all seasons, all days of the week, except festivals. ++++++++ + Greg + ++++++++ [LGreg] Spring & Summer & Fall Monday: 7:00 am - 4:59 pm.

People whom even 'thought' that they saw a certain NPC at a certain location at a certain time, provided very useful as a base for me to develop my test results and convert them into a 100% accurate agenda, rather then leaving you all with "NPCs appears randomly, sorry I can't help you!" That's just not good enough for me. Names are mentioned within this document at key parts where a specific user deserves upmost credit for pointing out new information or mechanics that really needed to be unearthed. scribblykakuloo, this shout-out is for you, sir. Thank you! Sam Van Dam, this shout-out is for you, sir. Thank you! Credit to Melissa, for sending me an e-mail verifying that Karen is not completely missing from the HM64 universe on Fall 9th, but that her, and her entire family (as well as Kai) is actually working at the Vineyard, after it has been restored. Next, I have to thank the makers of the Cheat Engine software, which allowed me to view any and every byte within the game to closely monitor values as they change in real time, right to the millisecond! This program is the magic behind all of my testing and statistical information, everything from pointer scans, to memory region access programming routes. Thank you! Next, I must thank the staff of GameFAQs for looking over the document and considering it for approval. Next, I must thank Victor Interactive Software, the developer team that created this wonderful game for us all to play and enjoy however we see fit without having to worry about things like if the next boss will kill us or anything like that! Finally, I credit myself for the hard work put into the data collection. I'm only satisfied when I do all of this number crunching myself, as it seems in the past when verifying someone else's work I ALWAYS seem to find errors.. and of course for writing this document. <-> <--> <-> <---> <----><--> <--><---> <---> <---> <---> |+| /+/ |X| /XXX\ |X|\X\ \X\ /X/ /XXX\ /XXX\ |XXX\ /XXX| |+| /+/ |X| |X| |X\ |X| \X\ \X\ /X/ |X| |X| |X| |X| |X|\X\ /X/|X| |+|/+/ |X| |X| |X| |X| /X/ \X\/X/ |X| |X| |X| |X| |X| \X\/X/ |X| |++++ |X| |X___X| |X|/X/ \XX/ |X___X| |X___X| |X| \XX/ |X| |+|\+\ |X| |X| \X\ |X|\X\ || |X| |X| |X| \X\ |X| \/ |X| |+| \+\ |X| |X| \X\|X| \X\ || |X| |X| |X| \X\ |X| |X| |+| \+\ |X| |X| \X\X| /X/ || |X| |X| |X| \X\ |X| © |X| <-> <--> <-> <-> <--->/X/ <> <-> <-> <-> <--><-> <-> @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Copyright & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Copyr] <>-<>-<> Copyright to Dedrick Suddenly© 2011 (Kirbyarm) All rights reserved. <>-<> Permission to host this guide unedited on your website may be requested, and if permission is not given, you do not have the right to host it.
