I have one of my own now so I&#8217;ll have to rebuild everything I had before.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to do your best in Tree of Tranquility you need to do your best to get the first rainbow completed before the end of first spring. It&#8217;s not an easy task but for veteran Harvest Moon players it should be a pretty straightforward list of tasks to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of how your first season on the island should go, the information is courtesy of DetroitDJ on GameFAQs.com. Rewritten for the blog by me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pick up all tools (hammer, axe, fishing pole) on the first day you are released from training. You will have been given the hoe and the watering can by the grumpy looking man at Souffl\u00e9 Farm.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the river side of the root blocking the path to the Ganache Mine District to cue the cut scene to get that root out of your way, believe me the time cut off by that shortcut is significant. After the cut scene, head for the carpenter\u2019s shop, then back to the tree root after all the cut scenes.<\/li>\n<li>Meet all villagers as soon as possible, especially Maya (any sunny day at Waffle Town Square) and Mira (at the graveyard on any sunny day) as both will be vital in your mission. Maya will run a booth at the flea market with a goddess recipe ingredient, and Mira works in the blacksmith\u2019s shop refining ores and gems you find in the mines, refined materials are worth more gold when you ship them.<\/li>\n<li>Ship 2000g worth of products as soon as possible. Any products will do. Junk ore, unrefined ores and wonderfuls, herbs, shells, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Gather the needed materials to upgrade your house once. This will take substantial stamina because your tools suck. Make use of the hot spring to refill your stamina. 18 wood and 16 stone total.<\/li>\n<li>Save up some money for your house upgrade and for your oven. Try and ship at least 500g worth of goods per day. One trip to the mine ONLY picking up mushrooms and toadstools can get you over 1000g per day.<\/li>\n<li>Collect the fish you need for the recipe, one carp, and several other fish to cook together to make good herb fish. The sell value of the fish used in the recipe determines the quality of the fish dish.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a few herbs; you\u2019ll need them to make the herb fish recipe in your oven.<\/li>\n<li>On Spring 22 at the Flea Market pick up your Grilled yam and your apple needed for your goddess recipes. Also, if you have the extra gold pick up some Ostonnaise and an omelette here too. Those are used in later recipes and won\u2019t be available to you for some time after spring 22.<\/li>\n<li>By Spring 24 you should have your house upgrade under way. If you don\u2019t start the upgrade on or before the 24<sup>th<\/sup> you may run out of time to complete the recipe.<\/li>\n<li>As soon as you ask Dale to upgrade your house go and talk to Gill about the second half of the quilt (After your first 2000g the mayor should have talked to you about one half of the quilt). Once you talk to Gill, talk to Dale, and then talk to the mayor. Tell the mayor you\u2019ll fix the clock tower and then head straight over there to get the second half of the quilt.<\/li>\n<li>Once you complete the quilt, go up to the tree in the town square that has the harvest sprite\u2019s flower beneath it and use your watering can on it. Trigger the sprite\u2019s cut scene and get the recipe. You should already have all the ingredients, and if they are in your inventory just water the flower again to trigger the rainbow recipe completion cut scene.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to save up your gold as the animal festival happens at the end of the season! You should pick up some yarns here even though they\u2019re pricey. The rucksack upgrades will need them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rainbow #1 Recipe List:<\/p>\n<p>Daren\u2019s Rainbow<\/p>\n<p>A. Good Herb Fish<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use 1-4 fish and any herb in your oven. The regular selling prices of the fish used should total at least 320g when combined with one another. A good combination is three carp, or three Masu Trout. If you\u2019re not sure of the selling price and you\u2019ve caught the fish, check your bookshelf and your fish list for more information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>B. Grilled Yam<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase the grilled yam (165g) from Maya at the Spring Market on Spring 22.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>C. \u00a0Apple<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase the apple (225g) from Simon at the Spring Market on Spring 22.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>D. \u00a0Common Seashell (NOT THE FANCY SEASHELL)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find it on one of the beaches. It\u2019s a random spawning forage item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>E. Carp<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fish it out of Maple Lake or Midstream\/Downstream of the river.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Money Needed by Spring 28 (animal festival):<\/p>\n<p>Oven \u2013 2550g<\/p>\n<p>Grilled Yam \u2013 165g<\/p>\n<p>Apple \u2013 225g<\/p>\n<p>House Upgrade \u2013 3000g (18 wood, 16 stone)<\/p>\n<p>Ostonnaise \u2013 480g<\/p>\n<p>Plain Omelette \u2013 240g<\/p>\n<p>4xGood Flax Yarn \u2013 2160<\/p>\n<p>4xGood Silk Yarn \u2013 4200g<\/p>\n<p>4xGood Wool Yarn \u2013 1860g<\/p>\n<p>For a total of <strong>14,880g<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The four of each type of yarn is for a straight jump up to a 25-slot rucksack once the tailor shop comes to town. You will need 2 good yarns of each type for a 20-slot upgrade and 2 Yellow Flax Yarn, 2 Red Wool Yarn, 2 Green Silk Yarn for the 25 slot upgrade. Buy at least two of each kind of yarn to jump to the 20-slot rucksack if you can\u2019t afford 4 of each type of yarn. If all else fails, buy 4 flax, and two of the other yarns. You can always invest in sheep and silk worms to get the colored yarns. Flax yarn and flax seeds won\u2019t be available again until after Taylor\u2019s Seed Shop is set up in Winter Year 1, three seasons after the first rainbow appears. Or Spring of year 2 at least.<\/p>\n<p>Tips for making quick cash early on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take daily trips to the mine to collect stacks of mushrooms (30g ea.) and toadstools (40g ea.)<\/li>\n<li>Forage around the beaches, town, and forest for boosts to your cash flow.<\/li>\n<li>Fish like your life depended on it when you have extra stamina. Not only do you boost your fishing skill and find recipe ingredients, you can sell off the un-necessary fish. Remember: grilling the fish using a match set and a stack of wood boosts the selling price of the fish by 30g so if you have a little extra gold, invest in matches when you go fishing. Match Sets are pretty cheap.<\/li>\n<li>Another option for the grilling impaired is to invest in a Cutting Board and make Marinated Mushrooms (mushrooms and an herb on the cutting board). One herb, one mushroom, sells for 320 gold each. The color herb used will affect the price but the 320g is achieved with a green herb and a mushroom. (Again, only if you have the extra gold to spare on investing in a cutting board.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, remember that in Tree of Tranquility items in your shipping bin don\u2019t ship until you\u2019ve slept, so you can use the shipping bin as a temporary storage to open up space in your rucksack until you get home and you can move things from your shipping bin into your toolbox or other storage device. Just don\u2019t forget that you\u2019re storing things in it or they will ship if you sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the most vital things for completing your first rainbow should be purchased first. Oven, House upgrade, etc. It\u2019s a very tight schedule to keep to but with some determination it will work out for you. You might even want to make a few plates of \u2018decent herb fish\u2019 using one fish and one herb so you can restore your stamina while you\u2019re out working. In a pinch, mushrooms will do for stamina restoration but they cause fatigue if you eat too many (around 10+) and they are also worth gold. Conversely, you could just sell the decent herb fish, but I\u2019ve found that when I\u2019m in a pinch it helps more than mushrooms. And it\u2019s cheaper than buying onigiri from the Inn.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>Demosthenes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m currently playing through Tree of Tranquility for a second time, my data from the first game was lost when my roommate left and took his Wii.
