Well, I say it's about time to know for 100% certainty, so here you have it! @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Version History & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Versi] Version 1.00 - May 28th, 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. This initial release took somewhere around 24 hours of work to compose and analyze the game while recording and organizing the information into a decently readable format. @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Table Of Contents & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Table] 1) Introduction...................................................[Intro] 2) Version History................................................[Versi] 3) Recipe Locations & Mechanics...................................[Recip] 4) Storage Mechanics..............................................[Stora] 5) Tips & things to look out for or keep track of.................[Tips&] 6) Credits........................................................[Credi] 7) Copyright......................................................[Copyr] @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Recipe Locations & Mechanics & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Recip] There are ONLY 35 recipes in the game. I have maxed all affection with all villagers and given every traditionally giftable item to each NPC, including the Gourmet to be 100% sure. To earn the recipe from the specified NPCs, you must give them the specific gift as the first gift you give them for that day, whilst meeting any other requirements which will be listed in the tables below. The format I will be using is simple, first will be the name of the recipe as well as the NPC which gives that recipe, second will be the item you have to give the NPC, third will be which season it absolutely has to be, in order to receive the recipe, and fourth (if applicable) will be the affection requirement for the NPC before handing over the gift for the recipe, all separated by hyphens.

You gain the fridge when you purchase the Kitchen upgrade from the carpenters and you get the Cabinet in the Tool Shop, but that is not available until Summer 1st... mind you it is useless (besides milk) for storing anything that is required for recipes, and really you should only need to store them to meet a seasonal requirement of gaining that recipe, which there are not many at all. Keep these things in mind. Fridge allowed: -Cake -Pie -Cookie -Turnip -Potato -Cabbage -Tomato -Corn -Eggplant -Strawberry -Egg -Wild Grapes -Veryberry -Tropical Fruit -Walnut -Mushroom -Poison Mushroom -Berry of Fullmoon Plant -Medicinal Herb -Edible Herb -Small Fish -Medium Fish -Large Fish -Dumpling -Cotton Candy -Fried Octopus -Roasted Corn -Candy -Chocolate Cabinet allowed: -Moondrop Plant -Pink-Cat-Mint Plant -Small Milk -Medium Milk -Large Milk -Golden Milk -Wool -High-quality Wool -Iron Ore -Blue Rock -Moonlight Stone -Rare Metal -Pontata Root Sam Van Dam says: "Heh, I remember what the difference is between the fridge and the cabinet. It's whether or not you can eat the item." -Good to know! G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G~G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G $ Tips & things to look out for or keep track of $ G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G~G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G$G [Tips&] Golden rule: You will only obtain the recipe if it is the first gift of the day to the specific NPC, then the rest (if any) requirements are scanned. Spring crops: Turnip, Potato, Cabbage - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen. Summer crops: Corn, Tomato - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen. Fall crop: Eggplant - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen. Winter crop: Strawberry - These can be stored in the fridge when you buy a kitchen and require a greenhouse to purchase or plant. Note: Strawberries can only be grown inside the greenhouse when you buy it, and that is when they will be available for purchase, but only in Winter, though they can be grown all year. The other three season's crop seeds can only be purchased in their specific season until you purchase the greenhouse, which then all seeds except strawberry seeds will be available in Spring, Summer, and Fall. Winter is a Strawberry only season, regardless of greenhouse presence (it just can't be purchased until you have a greenhouse). Cliff's recipe seems mysterious, but he will fork it up if the conditions above are met. Eggs are cheaper, but make sure he has 51 or higher affection by Winter, otherwise he will leave forever and you will thus miss out on the recipe. Also, if you plan on marrying Ann make absolute sure you get Cliff's recipe before marrying her, otherwise he may leave. (If Cliff's affection is above 149 and you are married to Ann, he will leave forever). Make sure Karen is at 101 affection or higher by Winter, year 2, otherwise she will be gone forever the next time you enter the beach screen and you could miss out on this recipe. You should have given her a strawberry LONG before this, as my biggest tip. Make sure you understand the difference between a Medicinal Herb and an Edible Herb. The above requirements are exact. The only recipes that require "friendship" (easier way of saying high enough affection level) are the recipes from Gray, Gotz, and the Harvest Sprites. The only season specific recipes you should take note of are Cliff (Winter only), Greg (all seasons but Winter, because he disappears), Carpenter #1 (Saw) (all seasons but Winter, because he disappears), Carpenter #2 (Axe) (Fall only), Sydney the old woman on the mountain summit restaurant (Spring only), then Basil (He is only available from Spring 15th to Fall 4th). @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ & Credits & @>--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--vv~~@~~vv--'---,---'---,---'---,---'---,--<@ [Credi] Firstly, I don't mean to sound selfish or rude in any way, but I refuse to credit the various online sources I've read on my first casual play through the game, as the information on the recipes were not nearly concise enough for me to even find them on my own in a casual play through! Special thanks to Sam Van Dam for answering plenty of my questions and helping me figure out why certain NPCs weren't spewing out recipes when affection was maxed. 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.
