Well, if you don't like swords, then you can use a spear. That's what I used as my first weapon. You can also use a hammer or an axe, once you have the ability to forge them. Currently I'm actually using an axe, because of its power, and it isn't quite as slow as a hammer. I've just got to not miss... >_<

I love spears. Can you get them right off the bat?

Mop it up · « **Reply #352 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:11:40 PM »

I'm pretty sure you can buy one from the blacksmith. If not, it's one of the things you can forge when you first get the forging equipment.

i miss this game

you're all weaklings, real players use only the watering can in dungeons!

I'm so glad Pro updated this thread the way he did.. it got me to buy the game, which made Mop_it_up buy the game, which made Drew_MG buy the game, which made Stratos buy the game and now Silvergrey!!

Glad I'm making people happy, although I'm probably somewhere in the middle of that group, the site really wouldn't let me join the forum for a while. I'd never considered a spear, I should check that out, maybe that would suit my style better. Someday I need to figure out if my monsters in my barn are going to starve because I've never fed them. I'm a horrible monster-keeper.

I hope you don't play Pokemon or I might have to call Officer Jenny to confiscate your monsters due to suspicion of abuse and neglect

EasyCure · « **Reply #356 on:** November 21, 2009, 01:55:13 PM »

Silver', you don't have to feed them directly. Just keep the barn stocke with fodder and you're good, they eat on their own!

get fodder by mowing your grass... but don't cut it too early! wait till its tall enough that it covers your characters boots

SilverGrey · « **Reply #357 on:** November 21, 2009, 02:08:46 PM »

Wow, an automated feeding system. I like it! So much easier than Harvest Moon. All my animals were mad at me on that farm too. Through video games I have discovered that my future career should not lie in farming. I quite like animals though, ask any of the animals in my World of Zoo....zoo (awkward phrase) because they are all very happy with me. My monsters seem alright despite not having been fed (directly or indirectly) I brush them every day and they seem happy. They won't do any of their jobs though, which is fine because I can take care of things on my own for now. So I effectively have monster squatters on my land since they don't do anything. One of them is supposed to gather rocks and I hope it later becomes apparent of what use that is supposed to be. Does he really bring rocks? And one of the other monsters seems to have no use whatsoever, so I feel bad for him (it?). Okay, I think I'm finished psychoanalyzing my monster population for now, except for the little purple elephant that doesn't seem to want to live with the rest of the monsters, were they mean to him or something? Now I have monster thugs?

EasyCure · « **Reply #358 on:** November 21, 2009, 02:18:11 PM »

all monsters start off as thugs, and its your job to help them thru your half-way house you call a barn.

and yes, the automated feeding system does wonders in this game! Don't worry about the monsters not doing their jobs, they'll come around. you just have to raise their friendship points before they help you out on the farm; sort of like when catching higher level pokemon, they wouldn't listen to your commands, just.. worse cuz they do NOTHING but eat your food.

as for the purple elephant.. well... i'd hate to break this to you but you must be drunk cuz there's no such thing

SilverGrey · « **Reply #359 on:** November 21, 2009, 02:45:28 PM »

If I were drunk I'd be seeing Pink Elephants, not purple ones. Disney even wrote a whole song about it! You learn a lot from watching Dumbo....

And man pokemon sound like ornery little buggers the way you describe them, maybe that's why I never learned how to play. Someone tried to teach me once and it reminded me too much of the time someone else tried to teach me how to play Magic. I've since learned to be cautious if someone starts out by saying 'oh let me teach you how to play! It's so easy!'

I'm playing this game at the BEST pace.

I bought the game in Spring, it starts off in Spring. I last left off just before in-game Winter, and now it's practically Winter! There's so much to not do!

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, CASUAL CROSSING.

I should maybe get into that whole raising of animals thing but there has always been something else I wanted to do so I never got around to it.

Stratos · « **Reply #362 on:** November 22, 2009, 12:46:57 AM »

When does the blacksmith open up? I want to buy a real weapon but they are still closed on day two.

Mop it up · « **Reply #363 on:** November 22, 2009, 01:09:29 AM »

I think that there is a little series of events which you must do before it opens. Just keep talking with everyone that you meet.

I guess I should explore the town more. After I found the first dungeon by accident I've thought of nothing but going in there and hunting monsters.

EasyCure · « **Reply #365 on:** November 22, 2009, 04:27:52 PM »

the shop should be available once t he character is, during that first day where the old women has you running errands. after that, show up after 9am and she should be available to purchase **** from.

Stratos · « **Reply #366 on:** November 22, 2009, 04:52:11 PM »

I just figured out the errand chain so I dumped all of my initial money of a Spear. I like the range on them because I can keep enemies from getting close to me.

I got the Cheap Hammer but it won't let me destroy the rocks on my field. Do I need a shovel or something? Rather frustrating I can only fit a few 3x3 plots on my field because of all the debris and rocks that I cannot move.

SilverGrey · « **Reply #367 on:** November 22, 2009, 04:56:23 PM »

The Cheap Hammer is no use on big rocks, as far as I'm aware. You need a better hammer.

Stratos · « **Reply #368 on:** November 22, 2009, 04:59:11 PM »

Really? It worked on the rocks in the Whale Island dungeon to get iron and those rocks were bigger than the ones on my farm. Where do I get this 'better hammer'?

SilverGrey · « **Reply #369 on:** November 22, 2009, 05:02:09 PM »

You need to forge it when you purchase a forge. And you then use the raw materials you got out of the rocks on Whale Island to upgrade your current Hammer.

Mop it up · « **Reply #370 on:** November 22, 2009, 05:02:46 PM »

The big rocks on Whale Island have various fractures in them so they are weak and brittle, the rocks on your field are solid so they need a stronger hammer. You'll need to get the forging equipment, and then you can upgrade your cheap hammer which will allow you to break the rocks with a special attack. You'll need the second upgrade before you can break the boulders.

awww.. its so cute how the information i've given you all in the past is being passed down to a new member of the cult...

Mop it up · « **Reply #372 on:** November 22, 2009, 09:12:05 PM »

I think that EasyCure should get a cut of the profits of this game since he has helped sell it.

Speaking of, has there been any word of a Europe release? Somebody I talk to on another forum would like to know.

EasyCure · « **Reply #373 on:** November 22, 2009, 09:35:33 PM »

nah, marvelous needs all the money it can get!

Nothing solid but it is expected Febuary 26th 2010.
It got pushed back before so I'm not sure if that date will stick.
