[Farren]

I think the Community Center's pufferfish is taken care of already? I saved one from one of the previous rounds to cover it.

Don't think squid are in-season. Octopus is, and if memory serves it's one of the most difficult "regular" fish to catch. (Community Center doesn't care about it, though, I don't think - it's mostly for bragging rights and/or filling the fishing collection.)

We're at level 9 fishing, so most of the tackle is at least theoretically craftable. Looking at the crafting list, we do have access to Trap Bobbers. 1 copper, 10 sap each. We are low on sap, though - most of it got tossed for fertilizer.

[Farren]

Flowers we have. Small stash of sweet peas, poppies, and spangles (after today's harvest). If memory serves, Sam didn't care so much for the last flower we gave him, though.

Sam is currently our second-highest social link, although it's a distant second place to Haley.

[Farren]

We certainly can. Just have to figure out who's getting what.

So far, here's what we know for our top social interests:

Haley: likes Daffodils.
Sam: likes Amethysts, Topazes, Joja Cola, and Tulips. Dislikes Daffodils.
George: loves Leeks.
Jodi: (we don't know anything.)
Linus: likes Leeks and Dandelions
Abigail: likes Topazes and Quartz.
Emily: likes Daffodils.
Robin: is okay with Daffodils.
Alex: loves Salmon Dinners; likes Tulips; is okay with Daffodils.
Penny: is okay with Daffodils.

That's everyone at two hearts or more.
In general, so far gems have been pretty popular. Tulips have gone over well; daffodils have been more hit-and-miss.

We have some leftover daffodils and blue jazz from Spring, as well as the flowers listed earlier. Just have to decide who gets what.

[Farren]

Oh, and some upcoming birthdays, because I can. I probably won't remember any of these. We just missed Gus's birthday (yesterday).

Summer 10 - Maru
Summer 13 - Alex
Summer 17 - Sam
Summer 19 - Demetrius

[Farren]

So far we're looking at:
- Visit Cindersap Forest with the new axe and see what we can see.
- Socialization, with an emphasis on gift-giving.

(expired on 2023-07-21 23:00:00) to tweak this, add to this, or scrap this and suggest something else.

[Farren]

We currently have two tappers set up, both on maple trees. This would add one to an oak tree and a pine tree.
We currently have no bee houses set up. We have two maple syrup on hand, which would limit us to making two bee houses total.

One issue - we're low on wood. We have 131 wood on hand. Both tappers and bee houses cost 40 each, so right now that would be the bottleneck - if we build both tappers, we only have enough wood to build one bee house.

Fortunately, we have a steel axe, so that will speed up wood recovery.

[Farren]

- Visit Cindersap Forest with the new axe and see what we can see. Chop down some trees while we're at it for the wood.
- Socialization, with an emphasis on gift-giving.
- Build a pair of tappers and set them up on one oak / one pine.
- Build a pair of bee houses. (We'll need some of the wood we harvest.)
- Animals / Crops as always.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Animals / crops - it was raining, so didn't water crops. Harvested peppers, spangles, and sunflowers. Loaded up the feed trough with hay for the chickens. Also cut a little grass to replenish our hay stock in the silo. We got

4

sunflower seeds from harvesting the sunflowers.

I replanted the empty spaces with some of the wild summer seeds we had sitting around.

Socialization - we hung around Pelican Town for a while. Due to the rain, most everyone was indoors. Due to inventory restrictions, I brought along sweet peas, spangles, and sunflowers.

We hit up Sam, Jodi, Vincent, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Elliott, Pierre, Abigail, Caroline, Evelyn, George, Alex, Pam, Penny. The only person who didn't like their gift was George; he

disliked

the sunflower we gave him. Everyone else

liked

their flower.

Bee houses / tappers - success. We were able to harvest enough wood to craft both bee houses and both tappers. We're out of syrup now (and low on iron), so can't craft any more bee houses until the existing syrup tappers fire off again.

[Farren]

Feats of great strength

When we stopped by to visit Haley and Emily, Haley was in the kitchen trying to open up a pickle jar. Despite our puny physique, we were able (after much exertion) to open the pickle jar successfully. Haley seemed pretty impressed - despite the backhanded compliment. ("You're stronger than you look!")

Our destinies intertwined

I was meditating on top of the Cloud Temple today, watching the beams of rainbow energy fly by, when I had a mysterious vision. A young farmer in a green shirt and straw hat came to visit me! I didn't know anyone else could get up here! But when I tried to talk to him, he vanished.

Farren ... there's something strange about him. Our destinies must be intertwined.

Then I woke up. My sister got into the pickles; I didn't think she'd be able to open them without help.

[Farren]

Jam session

Sam was in his bedroom with Sebastian when we paid him a visit, working on their music. According to him, rainy days are the best days for this sort of thing - the rain helps muffle the noise, which means his mom is less likely to yell at him for playing loud.

Sam asked me what kind of music I liked; I said I preferred

high-energy dance music.

He smiled; he'd been considering that for the band. Now he and Sebastian just need to find a drummer ...

[Farren]

Hidden Forest

With our new axe, we were able to cut up the large log blocking the path leading northwest out of Cindersap Forest. It leads to a hidden grove! The grove had a few green slimes in it - nothing we couldn't handle, though.

There were a few gnarled stumps which we were able to uproot, collecting a small stash of Hardwood. There was something odd about the ground when we uprooted the stumps; almost as if the ground was fertilized and seeded.

A

stone statue

sits in the deepest part of the forest, with an inscription declaring it to be Old Man Cannoli, who was in search of the

sweetest taste

imaginable. Nothing we had on us seemed adequately sweet enough to serve as an offering, though.

We saw a couple of

fiddlehead ferns

here - the Community Center was looking for one.

Finally, there's a

pond

suitable for fishing.

[Farren]

Friendship update:
Haley: 5 hearts
Sam: 3 hearts
Jodi, George, Abigail, Emily, Alex, Penny, Evelyn, Pierre, Linus, Robin: 2 hearts
Everyone not on this list: 1 heart.
Jas, Wizard: 0 hearts

Need to get the timer running.

(expired on 2023-07-25 23:00:00) to suggest some actions for today!

[Farren]

More fishing it is. Playthrough will start up shortly!

[Farren]

Fishing at the hidden forest:

This was ... well ... a mixed bag. We did catch one new fish - a Woodskip. That's one that the Community Center wants.
We also caught a bunch of carp, a bunch of trash ... a Joja Cola (gave it to Sam) ... and a pair of wall baskets, which appear to be furniture. Carps are lousy for just about everything, so we moved on after catching the Woodskip.

Fishing at the ocean:

We caught a lot of seaweed today. We also missed one catch (probably a pufferfish, based on the time). We caught a few flounders, a couple of red mullets - the big catch was a single Super Cucumber. Those sell for something like 468G each when they're gold quality. We also got one chest which had a Glass Shards (new artifact; Gunther wants it) and an Ornamental Fan (we already had one; sold it for 300G).

We got our watering can back. We can now water three squares at once, at a cost of 3-4 energy. Single squares cost 1-2, so this is an improvement.

We gave Maru a Blue Jazz, which she liked. She's now at 3 hearts. We also gave Leah a Fiddlehead Fern (from the forest - mostly to clear up some inventory space!); she liked that too.

We ended the day at

12,983G

.

[Farren]

When is Dad coming home?

On our way to the pier, we saw Sam and Vincent on the beach - Vincent making a sand castle; Sam sitting by and watching.

He confirmed he was just there to keep an eye on his little brother, and we chatted a while. His band is coming along well; Abigail's now in it as the new drummer.

Things took a bit of a dark note when Vincent asked about their dad. He's off fighting in the war against Gotoro, and the news says things haven't been going well. Will their dad ever come home?

Sam assured Vincent that he would. After, we told him

it was the right thing to do

; kids should have hope. He agreed.

As today's a holiday, the first question is:

are we attending the Luau?

If so, we'll need to report to the beach between 9 AM and 2 PM. We've been advised to bring something for the community potluck - an ingredient for soup. We're free to act until we arrive at the beach, and time will freeze while at the Luau - but it will be late (~10:00PM) when we return.

If not, we will not be able to enter the beach until after 2 PM. Shops will be closed today.

Please vote YES or NO on attending the Luau. Feel free to make suggestions as to what we should do today.
For those voting YES, please suggest an item to bring for the soup.

[Farren]

Also, I'm not sure what to do with the wall baskets. I couldn't sell them in the shipping bin, and they don't seem to fit anywhere in the house.
Maybe they go outside? on tables? or maybe try selling to Robin?

[Farren]

I'm going to be busy tomorrow night, so this will have to be a 96 hour cycle.

(expired on 2023-07-29 23:00:00) remaining!

[Farren]

I've got some catch-up to do as well. After tonight's runthrough, I'm going to start working on some of the uploads.

So today is: the usual watering / animals, then chop wood, then hit up the Luau with a gold cauliflower in hand.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Results:
- We harvested five radishes during crop management, replacing them with Wild Summer Seeds.
- Chickens are now up to 1.5/5 hearts. They are producing large eggs, which are being held until we get new instructions. ("Eggs" and "Large Eggs" aren't the same item.)
- We added 193 wood to our supply.
- One thing I forgot to do today was break the holiday down into two periods. Normally I do that because Pierre tends to run a shop during each holiday, and if we're going there it's an opportunity to buy things that are hard / impossible to get any other day. Fortunately, Pierre's selection during the Luau was mostly cosmetics. He had starfruit for sale (overpriced - $3k each!) as well, but probably for the best that we didn't buy any.
- We talked to everyone at the Luau.
- We contributed the

gold cauliflower

to the communal soup. The soup was a hit! The governor said it was the best soup he'd ever tasted, and after tasting it ourselves, we agreed.

Reward: we got a pretty nice social boost with everyone! Haley's up to six hearts now; Sam's up to four. I'll try to do a full update sometime tomorrow.

(expired on 2023-08-01 23:00:00) left to suggest a plan for today.

Noting that tomorrow is a stormy day - same impact as rain, plus the occasional lightning bolt.

[Farren]

No plan today. Let's see if the farm's still standing after a day of utter recklessness and foolishness.

[Farren]

So what all did we do today?
- Watered crops; tended to animals.
- Mostly caught up Community Center donations.
- Tilapia went to Ocean Fish; Cockle went to Crab Pot; Woodskip went to Special Fish.
- Tomato and Pepper went to Summer Crops.
- Crystal Fruit went to Winter Foraging; Common Mushroom went to Fall Foraging.
- Frozen Geode went to the Field Researcher. Poppy went to the Chef.
- Blacksmith bundle is

done

completely. We got 5 Omni Geodes and one more Furnace.
- We smashed the rest of our geodes and cleared out museum donations. We got a Rarecrow (#8) from Gunther. This is part of a collectible set, and also functions as a regular scarecrow.
- We picked up a Help Wanted quest from the board - Leah wanted a Flounder - and we gave her the one we had lying around.
- We foraged by the beach a little; picked up some Coral. The Bus Stop was also full of forage.
- Finally, we chopped some trees down in Cindersap to spend our energy.

[Farren]

Community Center: First bundle complete!

As a major reward for completing the first bundle of the Community Center, the Junimos have

repaired the minecarts!

We can now fast-travel between the

Mines

, the

Bus Stop

, and

Clint's Smithy

.

[Farren]

Fun times on the beach

While heading to the beach, we noticed Alex and Haley both there. Haley was running around frantically; Alex was elsewhere, tossing a gridball around.

Upon seeing us, Haley explained that she'd lost a bracelet. She was positive she'd had it when she arrived on the beach.

We

offered her condolences

, rather than offer to buy her a new one - which was a good thing, as she later mentioned that it was a gift from her great grandmother. Upon hearing that, we volunteered to help her look for it - and found it next to Elliott's cabin. She was thrilled to have it back and gave us a big hug.

We then went over to say hello to Alex. He was practicing his gridball skills - he has plans to earn himself a spot on the roster of the Zuzu City Tunnellers. We weren't able to do much to help him practice; trying to catch a gridball failed miserably. Still, we

were happy for him

, even though he seemed a little too sure of himself ...

Gonna start up the timer. (expired on 2023-08-04 23:00:00) to suggest some ideas for tomorrow.

We didn't get any suggestions for Summer 12. If we go three full game-days without any suggestions, I'll assume there's no more interest in this and shut it down.

[Farren]

The giant melon sounds exciting. Can we get a screenshot of it?

Spoiler: Screenshot: Giant Melon

[Farren]

Also let's upgrade the pickaxe if we can afford it.

It'll cost 10,000G for the house upgrade and 5,000G for the pickaxe upgrade.

We've got 14,374G, plus an additional 500G from the mail attachment.

We also have a large amount of non-renewable crops to do something with. I've been replanting with cheap seeds and seeds on-hand, but we'll have 55 crops to replant - or let the soil go fallow.

[Farren]

Hot damn!
Also aren't these weeds potentially destorying our crops?

No, that's just grass. Loose lumber, bushes, and rocks can endanger crops; grass can't.

[Farren]

Cutting it is an option, certainly - for aesthetics, if nothing else. I'd just need guidelines - we'd want to keep some of it around for animal feed.

If we don't plan on expanding our animals any time soon, we can get rid of quite a bit of it.

[Farren]

On today's agenda:
- Upgrade the farmhouse.
- Sell all silver+ melons, except for 5 gold melons (donate those to CC)
- Upgrade the pickaxe.
- Replace the melons with new melon seeds.
- Start turning large eggs into Mayo going forward.

I don't see anything to expend energy on (unless we need more wood for the farmhouse? not sure), so will fish with time/energy remaining.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

- We've put in the order for the farmhouse. Robin says it will take

three days

to complete.
- We sold all silver+ melons, except for the five golds that went to the Community Center (Quality Crops). I also donated a regular melon (Summer Crops) and a jar of honey (Artisan Goods).
- Pickaxe has been turned in to Clint. He'll have that ready in

two days

.
- Eggs have been fed into the Mayo machine. We had a mix of small/large today.
- Fishing: I fished at the ocean. New fish: Red Snapper, which is the last Ocean fish on the list for the community center. They don't sell very well. We did catch a couple more super cucumbers; sold two, kept one. (They sell for a bunch, but they're also great emergency healing/energy restoratives.)

Red Snapper still needs to be donated; I stayed out pretty late. Was able to burn through the energy, albeit barely.

[Farren]

Science gone wrong

While we were at Robin's, we heard Maru calling for our help. She was with her father and needed us to keep an eye on something while she stepped away. We agreed.

While she was gone, Demetrius chatted with us - but the conversation took a turn when he mentioned that he didn't want to see anything get in Maru's way of a brighter future.

Then, when Maru returned, he told her that he was just talking to us about the experiments.

We called him on it.

He apologized for lying; Maru forgave him.

[Farren]

I sold a few extra things - plus most of the fish we caught.

[Farren]

We are currently out of coal, and thus cannot craft any preserves jars.

With our pickaxe in the shop, we can't get any coal from the mines (or at least are highly unlikely to get any).

We could buy coal from Clint - but that's 150G each. At 8 per jar, that's 1200G per jar.

We could use the charcoal kiln, but that'll mean needing to go through a *lot* of wood - and I don't know how long it takes to get a single coal from the kiln.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-08-07 23:00:00) left to add to the current plan (chop wood, fish), suggest a new plan, or endorse the existing plan!

[Farren]

Apologies for the delay here; got tied up with something else.

We have:
- Chop wood
- Fish
- Crack Geodes
- Donate to Museum.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

Chop wood: Yup, we did some of that. A few trees here and there. I refilled energy at the spa, and most of bar #2 went to chopping wood.
Fish: Did some of that too, although not a lot. Yoba must have been smiling, though - we got quite a few treasure chests, including

16 coal

.
Preserve Jars: ended up happening after all, thanks to the unexpected coal from fishing. We now have two jars, currently loaded with Melons.
Geodes: nope. Clint's shop is effectively closed while he's upgrading a tool. We can talk to him, but cannot do business with him. Thanks to fishing, we now have more geodes than we did at the start of the day. We were able to donate the glass shards to the museum, though. No reward.

The latest book in the museum talked about how to use kegs.

Vegetables > Juice
Fruit > Wine
Wheat > Beer
Hops > Pale Ale. Note that Pam wants one of these!

Also, Lewis asked if we were growing any blueberries. Not a quest, just a casual question.

[Farren]

We've reached level 6 Foraging!
We've reached level 10 Fishing!

No one voted on the fishing question, so I chose randomly - we are now a

[Farren]

Aquarium quest? I don't think we have any fishing-related quests in the log right now.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-08-10 23:00:00) to decide between fishing, mining, or both! Or add on new ideas, etc. etc.

[Farren]

It's been a bit since we've been mining, and we're getting a shiny new pickaxe.

We're also out of bugmeat, which means no more crafting bait. Let's go mining.

Playthrough will start shortly!

[Farren]

We got our new pickaxe. Watered crops, checked on animals, got the pickaxe, then off to the mines.

We started on floor 20, looking primarily for copper ore and bugs. We got a small cache of bugmeat. More importantly, we also got the Monster Slayer goal for killing bugs.

We went to the Adventurer's Guild and claimed our prize: a new sword!

We're now wielding an Insect Head - a level 4 sword.

10-20 damage
+2 speed
+2 crit chance.

Since we were at the guild, we sold the old Steel Smallsword.

After that, we switched to floor 50. The new pickaxe can take out regular rocks there with one hit; iron nodes now take only two hits. We were able to get down to floor ... 57, I think? We now have a new checkpoint at floor 55.

We got more copper, iron, a little coal (5?), and various bits of this and that - including some Winter Roots, which the Community Center would like to have.

[Farren]

An updated list of what the Guild has for sale - they've expanded their stock since last we were there.

Wooden Blade - Sword, L1. 3-7 damage. 250G
Iron Dirk - Dagger, L1. 2-4 damage, +2 crit. 500G
Silver Saber - Sword, L2. 8-15 damage, +1 defense. 750G
Pirate's Sword - Sword, L2. 8-14 damage, +2 speed. 850G

(expired on 2023-08-14 23:00:00) left to contribute ideas for today's actions!

[Farren]

Today's plan:
Mine, concentrating on progress
Sell some junk
Donate some junk

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Mining: we made it to floor 70, which is the new checkpoint!

Floor 60's treasure: a Crystal Dagger.

4-10 damage
+2 Crit Chance
+50 Crit Power
+5 Weight

This swings a lot faster than the sword does, but it has a shorter range. Recoil remains roughly the same, so enemies that are easy to push back will still go flying, rendering the extra speed useless. Slower, bulkier enemies (or enemies that can be backed against a wall) can be skewered pretty quickly.

Floor 70's treasure: our inventory was full, so I opted to skip it. We can grab it on our next trip to the mines.

Also, there's a pond on floor 60. Might be possible to fish there.

We picked up a good amount of ore and coal, as well as a Ghostfish (which is donatable to the CC).

Selling: I sold some stuff. Concentrated mostly on high-value crops to maximize dollars earned and space freed up. We're now up to 16,422G.

Donating: we finished off the Ocean Bundle! We got Beach Totem x5 - these are consumable items that teleport us to the beach. We also found a Farm Totem on the farm, which works exactly the same way.

[Farren]

Level up!

We've reached Level 4 Combat!

HP +5
New Crafting recipe: Warrior Ring
10x Iron Bar
25x Coal
10x Frozen Tear

Occasionally infuses us with "warrior energy" after slaying a monster.

Next up is Level 5. Here's the preview - we can choose between

Fighter

(+15 HP, +10% damage) or

Scout

(increases Crit chance by 50%). Please feel free to vote on which you'd rather see.

Meat Tenderizer

The explosion last night has been explained - a meteor hit the farm! It landed right in front of the Coop. Fortunately, both Apia and patchwork are okay.

The meteor looks to be made of

iridium

- but our pickaxe isn't powerful enough to mine it. Looks like it'll be stuck there for a while.

The barn will take a couple of days to build. Once it's built, we'll be able to purchase cows.

Care and feeding of cows is similar to chickens. Once they're mature, we'll need to buy a Milk Pail from Marnie; they'll produce milk on a daily basis, which can be sold or used for cooking. If we build a Cheese Press, we can turn milk into cheese (which if memory serves is a pretty good energy/healing item).

Buying more chickens is also an option, and can be done whether we build the barn or not.

We could also use more feedback on chicken names! Currently, if nothing changes, the next two chickens will be named

Phoenix

and

Azula

.

Okay, this is looking like a busy day. We're short one iron bar for the watering can upgrade and short 17 wood for the barn. So here's the breakdown:
- Smelting: start up a load of iron.
- Water crops. Cut a little grass to get some extra feed stashed away. Check on the animals and load up the hay trough in the coop.
- Chop some trees to get the wood we need for the barn. (How far over should I go for this?)
- Stop by Marnie; buy two more chickens. (Current names: Phoenix and Azula; this will

end

the chicken naming poll.)
- Hopefully by this point the iron is done. Grab the iron.
- Stop by Clint; upgrade the Watering Can. (5000G, 5 iron bar)
- Socializing! Stop by the town, see who's in, give away some gifts.
- Stop by Robin; buy a barn. (6000G, 350 wood, 150 stone.) This will

start

a cow naming poll.
- Fishing. With Robin as the last stop, that means Mountain Lake.

(expired on 2023-08-17 23:00:00) remaining to suggest new ideas or endorse existing ones. With this much on the to-do list, endorsing ideas means I'm less likely to skip them if I think we're short on time.

Playthrough to start shortly!

I've had a request to start streaming these to Discord. I'll look into how feasible this is - want to make sure it doesn't interfere with the Youtube recording first.

[Farren]

Today's results:
- We are now the proud owners of four chickens total. We can buy no more chickens, unless we build another Coop (or a bigger one). It'll take some time for the new chickens to mature, but once they do we can start expecting four eggs per day instead of two.
- Clint is now working on our Watering Can; it should be ready at the start of Summer 19.
- Robin is now working on our Barn; it should be ready ... in a couple of days? (I should have asked her about the next house upgrade. Oops.)
- We gave out a few spangles, blue jazz, and a couple of gemstones. Overall, we talked with: Marnie, Jodi, Sam (it was his birthday today!), Haley, Emily, Elliott, Caroline, Lewis, Clint, Maru, Robin, Sebastian, Linus, Evelyn, George, Alex ... and I think that was it? Most of them got gifts (including Sam).
- Clint *loves* Topazes.
- We spent some time fishing at the lake. Despite the spirits being perturbed today, we fished up quite a few treasure chests.
- We got a good amount of coal, an Ancient Doll (Gunther wants it), and a Broken Trident! This is a new dagger, level 5.
- We also got a Ruby, but I gave that to Sebastian. (He liked it.)
- I stopped by the Guild to sell the Crystal Dagger, given that it's now obsolete.
- The Wilderness Farm was happy to provide some monsters to test out the trident on. It works pretty well!
- We ended the day with

Spoiler: Cow Names

What should we name our cow(s)?
Deadline: we'll take the top name every time we buy a cow; this will close after we buy our fourth cow. Cows can be bought at Marnie's once our Barn is complete, Wednesdays - Sundays.

No names yet!

[Farren]

We don't have any flowers currently planted, I don't think?

I'm not exactly sure how the flowers / honey thing works, but I know it involves planting flowers near beehives. We could buy some more flower seeds and plant some, but we'd either need to craft some sprinklers or accept additional time / energy expenditures.

We *do* have the recipe for lightning rods.

Iron bar x1
Refined quartz x1
Bat wing x5
= 1 lightning rod.

We have four iron bars on hand and another five awaiting pickup in the smelters. Enough ore to smelt four more.
No refined quartz, but we have raw quartz and could smelt some.
Bat wings would be the bottleneck - only enough for ten.

We have been collecting from the tappers. Visiting the coop daily means I see them daily.

We can certainly try out the new kitchen. Anything in particular I should cook? (note to self- get recipes caught up!)
Yesterday, I would have said keep the insect head. Today, I'm leaning more towards the Trident.

[Farren]

Taking a look at cooking options ... stuff we have or can easily get from Pierre.

Fried Eggs: egg x1 > +50 energy, +22 health.
Pancakes?: egg x1 + wheat flour x1 > +90 energy, +40 health, +2 foraging. (I think we can buy flour from Pierre?)
Radish Salad: oil x1 + vinegar x1 + radish x1 > +200 energy, +90 health. (radishes are current crop; oil + vinegar from Pierre)
Stir Fry: cave carrot x1 + common mushroom x1 + kale x1 + oil x1 > +200 energy, +90 health (leftover kale from spring; cave carrots show up mining; common mushrooms from the cave; oil from Pierre)
Algae Soup: green algae x4 > +75 energy, +33 health. (we have 40+ green algae ...)
Salad: leek x1 + dandelion x1 + vinegar x1 > +113 energy, +50 health. (leftover leeks / dandelions from spring; vinegar from Pierre)
Sashimi: any fish x1 > +75 energy, +33 health (we'd need to go fishing for this).

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-08-20 23:00:00) left to suggest additional ideas or endorse new ideas.

Don't forget to suggest new cow names, or vote for existing ones! Once the barn's up, I expect we'll be buying some cows in short order.

[Farren]

So with some generous interpretations, here's what we have.
- Craft some number of lightning rods and place them.
- Cook something up. (Probably algae soup at this point - at least that way we don't have to hit up Pierre.)
- Mine, concentrating on progress.
- Hit up Gus after mining (I think he gets a late start, and he's pretty reliably at the tavern at evenings) and give him a gift.

I'll give the new trident a whirl, and assuming it performs okay in the mines I'll hit up the guild as well and sell the insect head.
Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

- We placed a total of five lightning rods this morning, after hastily smelting some refined quartz. As of bedtime, all five were active and working on producing battery packs.
- We cooked up ten algae soup (three of which got used in the mines today). I also crafted a life elixir, as I got a purple mushroom from the mushroom cave.
- The trident works out pretty well! It doesn't have a lot of knockback, but given its speed that's probably a good thing. Its special attack is a rapid-fire series of stabs that does quite a bit of damage. Alas, I forgot to go sell the insect head, but that will be on the to-do list next time we go the mines.
- We stopped by the tavern and gave away a few gifts:
- - Gus got an emerald; he liked it.
- - Sebastian got a frozen tear; he

loved

it!
- -

Jade

Leah got a jade; she

didn't like

it.

Mining: we made it to floor 86. New checkpoint is floor 85.
Reward from floor 70: a master slingshot. I probably won't use it.
Reward from floor 80: Firewalker boots! These are +3 defense, +3 immunity. They replaced our existing Tundra Boots (+2 defense, +1 immunity).
As of floor 80, we've entered a new zone - everything's gone red. Rocks are back to taking two swings to break. Gold ore nodes have started showing up; those take three swings to break.
Bats and slimes are still showing up - tougher versions. We've also seen dark figures, similar to the golems that hit our farm at night but tougher. One's a caster, one's a bruiser. We've also seen walking helmetheads - they're fairly slow, but tough to push back.

[Farren]

Fairies zapped our crops

Overnight, we didn't hear anything out of the ordinary. Nope. We slept peacefully, and that was it.

[Farren]

Level up!

We've reached Level 5 mining!

DragonEater70 voted for Geologist, and to the best of my knowledge that was the only vote - so we picked Geologist! We'll now have a chance to get double the normal gems when mining.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-08-23 23:00:00) left to suggest a plan of attack for tomorrow!

[Farren]

No suggestions, so let's see what I can come up with.

- Pick up our watering can. Turn in geodes, take care of museum donations.
- Stop by Pierre's, buy some new seeds to replace the melon seeds going out.
- It's been a while; we're going to go on a clean-up spree. Hit up Cindersap Forest with a full set of tools, clear out as much debris as we can. Also clear out the big boulders on our farm.
- Maybe clear out the grass to some extent, put in some paths? This'll be a mood thing.
- We'll also work on trees, replenish our wood (since we're low)
- Stop by the secret woods too, clean out the hardwood.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

- Watering Can's back in our control. Forgot to bring the frozen geodes with me, but crushed the rest and made a few museum donations. We picked up a new piece of furniture: 'Burnt Offering'.
- We didn't have enough time for another crop of melons, so I planted radishes to replace the melons.
- We did a decent amount of clearing out debris and trees; we now have wood again.
- I also smelted some gold and iron.
- We now have a path from the crops to the barn.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-08-26 23:00:00) left to add to our existing plans!

[Farren]

So here's the plan.

If we're low on cash: fish.
If we're not low on cash: mine, focusing on progression.

Regardless of which, buy two cows and a pomegranate sapling. I'll plant the sapling and put some fences around it - fruit trees are picky about keeping their surroundings clear. Not sure how much cows cost yet, so we'll see what Marnie charges when we get there.

Names: one named Latte, the other I will pick from the 1-vote selections. (Probably Choco, given that Latte is guaranteed a slot.)

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Marnie charged 1500G per cow; Pierre charged 6000G for the pomegranate sapling. We needed 9000G and we didn't have enough - so fishing was the choice of the day.

Slight complication: to get the money today from fishing, we needed to sell directly to Willy today.

And Willy wasn't there.

The shop was open, but he wasn't behind the counter.

Fortunately, I hadn't yet tossed the mayo in the shipping box, and still had eggs on hand. We sold an egg and two mayo to Pierre directly, which gave us just enough cash to afford the sapling.

There was also a quest to turn in a flounder to Harvey. We caught a flounder early during fishing (before we checked on Willy), so tried to go hunt him down to turn that in. Unfortunately, he wasn't at the clinic - and I couldn't find him anywhere else.

That quest expires tomorrow, if we want to give it another shot.

I also stopped by the tavern and gave Gus another gemstone (from fishing).

We ended the day at

4363G

, after selling today's catch.

[Farren]

Today is:

Sunday, Summer 21

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-08-30 23:00:00) left to add to today's plan, which right now is the utter deforestation of Demetrius's land and any surrounding areas, followed by bragging about it in the bar.

(okay, we'll replant too.)

[Farren]

Playthrough to begin shortly!

(oh yeah, and give Demetrius a melon too.)

[Farren]

- Melon successfully delivered to Demetrius! He paid us

550G

for a gold melon.
- We deforested the mountain area. I also cleaned up the area to the north. I did notice some trees already growing back in that area; it looks like if we chop down a tree outside the farm, they grow back on their own.
- Despite that, I did plant some pinecones. I noticed Linus walk over one; he uprooted it! If we leave things where an NPC might walk into it, they might be dislodged - or worse.
- I still had energy left after the deforestation, so I went down to Cindersap to chop more trees down. We ended the day with

670 wood

.
- I stopped by the tavern; Harvey was indeed there! He happily paid the promised

300G

for the Flounder.

[Farren]

Robin's new stock

Robin now stocks the following

upgrades

:

Coop > Big Coop
10,000G, 400x Wood, 150x Stone.
Upgrades the coop's capacity from 4 to 8. Includes an incubator, which can hatch eggs. Marnie will start selling ducks.

Barn > Big Barn
12,000G, 450x Wood, 200x Stone.
Upgrades the barn's capacity from 4 to 8. Barn animals can now give birth. Unlocks goats.

House Upgrade
50,000G, 150 Hardwood.
Further increases the size of our house. Adds a nursery.

Freelance programming

While we were at Demetrius's lab, we opted to drop in on Sebastian. He looked busy, but told us he'd be just a moment.

We

opted to wait for him

. He finished up whatever he was working on; we

asked him about it

. Turns out he does work as a freelance programmer.

Robin entered his room, telling him that Abigail wanted to see him - right as Sam was IMing him wanting to get together. Sebastian didn't seem interested; rather, he was angry about all the interruptions while he was working.

After Robin left, he complained that no one took his job seriously. While that might have been a cue to leave, we ignored the cue, instead asking him

what his career goals were

. He's looking to save up money and leave Pelican Town - while trying to avoid becoming a part of the corporate rat race.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-09-02 23:00:00) left to submit additional ideas for the day!

[Farren]

On today's list:
- Fishing!
- Clear out inventory space; sell things and give things away. (This will also involve socializing.) This will include both fish as well as random things from storage.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

We'll be starting tomorrow with a total of

19,734G

.

We cleared out some of the high-quality melons, all of the blueberries, and a few other things. I also made an executive decision to dump those two hanging baskets; Robin didn't want them.
In the spirit of giving, I also cleared out geodes (but fished up more, so they won't show as gone), donated everything we could to the community center and Gunther.

Gunther coughed up a large Bear Statue and another Rarecrow!

Socially, we hit up everyone in Casa Robin and Casa Pierre (caught Abigail out on the street; everyone else was home). Evelyn. Lewis. Vincent and Jas at the beach. Clint. Pam, Leah, Gus, Emily, Shane all at the tavern. Willy. Alex and Haley. (Alas, we were out of gifts to give Haley.)

Pierre didn't like the Aquamarine we gave him. Emily loved the Emerald we gave her. Clint also loved getting an Emerald.

[Farren]

Big and Cheesy

When we arrived at the tavern, Clint invited us to sit with him for a bit. He got straight to the point - he noticed we seemed to be doing well with the ladies, and wanted to know our secret. We told him

to treat women the same as men

. Unfortunately, Clint didn't take the advice to heart; he then tried to hit on Emily after ordering from her, but got all tongue-tied and gave up partway through.

Emily didn't seem to notice, although she did rub salt in the wound by getting into an involved conversation with Shane.

[Farren]

We have a new quest from the board: Demetrius wants a refined quartz.

Pay is 150G. I took the liberty of putting some quartz in the furnaces overnight, so we'll have the option of doing this tomorrow if we want to.

What bundles are we missing for the fishtank at the community center?

We're missing:

River Fish (Catfish, Shad, Tiger Trout)
Night Fish (Eel, Walleye)
Crab Pot (any 1 of Lobster / Crayfish / Crab / Snail / Periwinkle / Shrimp)
Specialty Fish (Sandfish)

[Farren]

I don't remember if we planted a sapling or not

We did. We've got one sapling growing. I can't remember exactly which one, but I think it's a pomegranate?

[Farren]

Give a nice gift to Marnie

It's Tuesday, so her shop will be closed. But we should be able to catch her at either the weekly exercise class, or possibly at the tavern later at night. So this should be doable.

[Farren]

One of the CC bundles requires apples - the Fodder Bundle. Planting an apple tree would be one way of getting them.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-09-05 23:00:00) left to add to today's plan!

[Farren]

Give gifts to Marnie (+3)
Give gifts to Lewis (+2)
Upgrade watering can to gold (-10000G, -5 gold bars)
Upgrade Barn (if enough cash) (not sure what this costs?)
Make a crab pot (deploy to ocean) (-40 wood, -3 iron bars)
Give gifts to everyone else
Sell items
Mine
Fish

Okay, that's a lot to do.

Giving Marnie a gift got endorsed by three people; Lewis, two people. So those are both getting done.

Mining got endorsed twice. That's on the list.

Tomorrow's a stormy day, which means that this is a great day to do the watering can upgrade. That's getting done.

The Barn upgrade is out - today's Tuesday; Robin is closed. We can't even inquire about the price. We can try again tomorrow on that one. Shame, as it'd go nicely with the mining.

Fishing got one yes and one no, so that's out.

Gift giving to everyone is probably not going to go well with mining, so I think we'll put that on the back burner.

That leaves the crab pot. I think we can probably make that work.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

Today's crop harvest consisted of a bunch of wild summer forage. That includes sweet peas, so: grapes and spice berries got sold, and the exercise class got a bunch of sweet peas. That includes Marnie.
Lewis also got a sweet pea, as did Pierre and Haley and Alex. Linus got a bunch of grapes I found about two feet away from him. Clint didn't have a good reaction the last time we gave him flowers, so I opted to skip him.

Watering Can should be ready for pickup on Summer 25.

Crab pot has been placed.

We sold more of the mining proceeds than usual, although we kept ore and stone. We did find a single Diamond node (and Geologist activated, so we got two Diamonds). We got *two* new weapons - an Obsidian Edge (the reward for reaching level 90) and a Tempered Broadsword (random drop). The broadsword appears to be the most powerful of the three, although it's a notably slower weapon than the dagger. It's got good reach, though, and the enemies are getting more dangerous - twice, I had to down an Algae Soup due to running low on health.

Inventory management is continuing to be an issue with mining; we did have to throw some things away.

We ended the day at

13,958G.

[Farren]

Crab Pots

Crab pots will provide one item per day, if they are checked and loaded with bait daily. We now have one crab pot located in the ocean, by the broken bridge.

If we head to the beach, I will check the pot (and refill it, if we have any bait). If we don't head to the beach, I will ignore the crab pot unless told otherwise.

Pots can also be placed on the river, or at the mountain lake.

While there is a limit to how many pots we can have, we are nowhere near that limit.

[Farren]

How to get out of exercise

As we left the exercise club, Emily rushed out past us - pointing to the sky as a flock of beautifully colored birds flew overhead! The delight on her face quickly turned to alarm as one of those birds began veering off course - straight towards her house.

*SPLAT*

The bird flew straight into Emily's window. It fell to the ground with a broken wing. Emily gingerly picked it up and cradled it in her arms, taking it inside. She said she was going to nurse it back to health.

[Farren]

Note on the weapons:
- Tempered Broadsword is a *little* weaker and slower than the Obsidian Edge, but the defense boost and the weight boost gives it more recoil and defensive application.
- The Obsidian Edge will do a little more damage and do it a little faster, but we'll be more vulnerable.
- The dagger is still viable, but it specializes in burst damage; against multiple foes, it will falter.

[Farren]

Oh, and we made it to floor 96 today, with a new checkpoint of 95.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-09-08 23:00:00) left to make suggestions for today!

I try to keep the game aligned with seasons in the northern hemisphere, so I'm aiming to wrap up Summer by the end of September 21st, with September 22nd being the first day of Fall 1.

[Farren]

I'm not 100% sure which fish are in season and missing.

Octopus is the one I know about for sure - it's a morning-only, ocean-only, summer-only fish, but it's also wickedly hard to catch. I don't know if they prefer sun or rain, though. This one's not in any bundles.
Eels I think might be available? They're part of the night fishing bundle, but we haven't seen any pop up yet, which makes me think they like the rain.

Of the remaining bundle fish ... I think most of the river fish show up in the fall. Walleyes I think are fall or winter. Sandfish are desert only.

If we want to take a shot at the octopus, we need to rush the beach first thing, and be prepared for failure.

If we want to take a shot at the eel, late night fishing at the beach is probably our best bet.

Or maybe I'm wrong about the river fish, and we should try some more river fishing?

[Farren]

Players' suggestions can be as vague or as detailed as they want.

If no one suggests any means of spending energy, I may or may not fish at my discretion.

Where I fish and what time of day I fish - players are absolutely free to specify location and/or time of day, or to make indirect suggestions that incentivize particular areas / times.

If those require knowledge I don't have, then I'll wing it. Players are free to provide the knowledge or not, at their discretion.

[Farren]

And I know there's at least one of them that only appears when it rains, so we should definitely try to catch that one

Pretty sure that one's the Eel. I *think* that's Summer (and maybe Fall too?) / Rainy / Evenings.

The big question is if we're fishing for the bundles or general completion. If the latter, then we need to hit up the ocean in the morning at some point in the next few days, and probably *should* be today on the off-chance that the octopus is rainy-only. We definitely can't depend on another rainy day before the end of the season.

[Farren]

All right, so today is a fishing day. If we're aiming for octopus, then that means we head straight for the beach, with *no* stops other than grabbing fishing supplies and making room for the fish.

We'll take a break in the middle of the day to deal with the animals, then come back in the evening for round two. It'll mean less fishing total, but more time aiming for the fish we want.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Long story short: 0/2.

Octopus: we *did* get a couple of nibbles this morning, but they were *fast*. The first one was the first hook of the day. It caught me off guard, and I wasn't able to adapt in time. The second one was later in the morning, and while I was ready for it, it went shooting straight for the top ASAP, and immediately shot to the bottom as soon as I caught up with it. Nothing to be done there.

I can't be 100% sure the nibbles were octopi, but it's definitely something new for sure; *nothing* else has moved that fast to date.

Eel: no sign of the eel whatsoever, which means I am *probably* wrong about one of its details. We know it's a night fish, but it *probably* isn't Summer / Ocean / Rain.

I did try two casts in the river on the way back (around 10:30 PM) or so. That yielded a pair of Bream, but two casts isn't enough to positively rule out the river.

All in all, we made a touch over 7,000G today, mostly from fishing.

Side note: we did catch a

crab

from the crab pot. It is reloaded and should be ready for harvest again tomorrow if we hit up the beach again.

If we want to keep trying for the octopus, we'll probably need to improve our odds.

I crafted a basic spinner before setting out yesterday. We *did* manage to fish up a Dressed Spinner yesterday, so applying that will give us more chances to catch *something*. What we need is more fishing skill, and we're currently maxed out.

Some food provides buffs that can increase fishing skill (above the cap, even). We could look into those. We could also try swapping out attraction tackle for tackle that will improve our chance at succeeding in catching the fish.

We have two such tackles.
- Trap Bobbers - take copper bars and sap. They reduce the speed that the bar drops when the fish escapes.
- Cork Bobbers - take wood, hardwood (5), and slime. They increase the size of the fishing bar (effectively increasing our fishing level).
Either can be purchased from Willy, but he doesn't open until 9 (and he charges a bit for tackle).

If we don't want to keep trying for octopus, our current style of fishing is adequate for most catches.

(expired on 2023-09-11 23:00:00) remaining to contribute to today's plans!

[Farren]

Charles510 suggested fishing. You suggested trap bobbers. To me, that means: go try and fish up an Octopus again.

We've also got a watering can to pick up, along with the usual chores. Other than that, that's it.

[Farren]

And that's time.

This is going to be something of a logistical challenge, so gimme a bit to figure out how we're going to route the day out.

[Farren]

Octopus hours: 6-12 (noon).
Clint's hours: 9-4 (to crack geodes / pick up the watering can). If we don't do this in time, we don't get to water crops.
Pierre's hours: 9-5 (to buy the backpack upgrade).
We want to tend to the animals before 6 or so; otherwise they may be asleep.
Giving things away can happen at any time other than the extreme ends of the clock.

So:

Load up on fishing supplies and geodes. Octopus fishing until noon.
Pierre's next. Buy the backpack.
Clint's next. We'll need extra space to handle the geode stuff.
Museum if we need to.
Then the farm.

I think one of PM fishing / gift-giving is going to suffer here. We'll play it by ear and see what happens.

[Farren]

Octopus fishing:

success!

We managed to catch one octopus, as well as a few other lesser fish. We also missed one octopus, but oh well. Due to the whole "give things away to people" plus a tip from earlier, we gave the octopus to Willy, who loved it!

We now have a 36-slot backpack! We're less likely to run out of room in ordinary situations.

We've recovered our watering can, which can now water a 3x3 patch at a time. The geodes did yield around ... 4-5 new items for Gunther, who coughed up an Obsidian Vase as a reward.

We gave away some other gifts as well, although some villagers have hit the gift cap for the week. Gems continue to be popular. Honey was liked by a couple of people (Pam / Gus). Melons were a mixed bag; Leah liked hers; Sam was okay with it; Vincent didn't like it.

PM fishing - we caught more trash than usual, but also caught three super cucumbers.

All in all, we ended the day at 17,470G - not bad given that we spent 10K on the backpack.

[Farren]

Oh, and also because of the gift giving, I turned in the hot pepper quest to George.

[Farren]

Doctor knows best

When we arrived at George's to deliver his pepper, Dr. Harvey was there, making a house call.

George was balking at the doctor's advice (less sodium, more exercise), and asked for a second opinion ... from us!

We're farmers; we're not med students. We told George

to follow Dr. Harvey's advice

. Harvey seemed satisfied; George less so.

[Farren]

Level up!

We've reached level 7 Foraging!
We've reached level 8 Farming!

Milk pail, cheese press, and fish. Got it.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

Milk pail purchased; cost us 1000G. Cheese presses have been built and are now adorning the barn. The cows have been milked and the milk's been fed into the cheese presses.

Fishing: we caught a new fish! I went fishing in the river instead of the ocean just to make sure we didn't miss anything. Shad is one of the River Fish bundle, so I made it a point to save one from being sold.

River fishing doesn't have as many large moneymakers as the ocean does; we ended the day at

23,927G

.

We did catch a lot of treasure chests, picking up some ore, coal, gems - and a new ring and sword.

The ring's a keeper, as we had one empty ring slot. Topaz Ring, which adds 10% weapon precision (?). The sword probably isn't. Neptune's Glaive, which looks like a lesser version of what we've already got.

[Farren]

All right, I think we have some competing ideas here.

I see a strong desire to earn money and work on donations. So I'm going to distill this down into a couple of basic ideas and see which sounds better.

Things that will happen no matter what:
1) Watering crops
2) Tending to animals
3) Smelting (at least a little - tossing some ore in the furnaces before we leave is super-easy).
4) Some form of fishing, and selling our catch (other than things that can't be donated).

Plan A:
- Mountain Lake. With this plan, we fish at the mountain lake. This pairs nicely with

selling excess weapons and armor

at the Guild. The community center is reasonably close, so it won't take too long for the detour here.

Plan B:
- Ocean. With this plan, we fish at the ocean. We can harvest the crab pot with this plan, which isn't very exciting - but the ocean tends to pay out the best. (Pufferfish from 12-4 and Super Cucumbers from about 6:30pm onwards both sell for a bundle.) This is also the farthest spot from the community center. Normally this option would let us sell our catch to Willy and get money *today*, but it's Saturday; Willy will probably be closed.

Plan C:
- River. With this plan, we fish at the river that runs through Pelican Town. This pairs the best with

geodes

and

Museum Donations

, as well as

socialization and gifting

, but probably offers the weakest cash flow. This works decently with the community center. (Note: a lot of villagers have hit the gift cap for the week, so gifting will be less effective today.)

Also: should we save any money? Summer is coming to an end, and Fall is a lucrative season for planting.

[Farren]

The crossover crops (corn, any remaining sunflowers, ancient fruit?) should definitely be watered. Hops definitely should, as they'll produce again tomorrow. Everything else, depends on if watering them today will get them produce tomorrow.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-09-17 23:00:00) left to endorse one of the three plans I've written up. Adding to a plan is an option, but if we want to focus on making money, we'll want to stay relatively concentrated in what we do.

The next game day - Summer 28 - is the end of Summer. It's also a holiday - Dance of the Moonlight Jellies - so we'll be running a 96 hour timer that day.

[Farren]

Plan B it is. Fishing at the ocean, along with crops / animals / smelting.

We will make that run to the CC, though - donating what we can, as we still get rewards for completing bundles, even if we don't get the whole thing done. Plus that way we'll know how much we're short.
Starting up shortly!

[Farren]

We officially have a problem.

During one of the "sell things!" actions, we sold our blueberries.

We never donated blueberries to Summer Crops.

Which means we cannot complete the Summer Crop bundle.

Blueberries did not mature today (Summer 28), and they are not a crossover crop; they will die tomorrow (Fall 1).

[Farren]

There is one possible chance at redemption.

On Fridays and Sundays, the traveling cart comes to visit Cindersap Forest. It sells a random variety of this and that - including, from time to time, crops. The prices are usually extortionate, but it's one way of getting things that might otherwise be difficult (or impossible) to get.

If we want to try to fix this, we should start making a point of visiting the cart every chance we get.

[Farren]

We did manage to turn in a few things. We completed the three cheapest Vault bundles, picking up some Quality Fertilizer, a few Chocolate Cakes (pretty good healing items), and another lightning rod.

The remaining vault bundle will cost

25,000G

to complete.

We also turned in the Exotic Foraging bundle, grabbing a few Autumn's Bounties (more healing, with temporary bonuses to both Foraging and Defense.)

Fishing ... did not go so well. We were catching a lot more trash than usual, and missed two fish on top of it. (One was probably an octopus, which is understandable. The other was probably a pufferfish, which I should not be missing.)

I think the crab inadvertently got sold too. Another mistake, albeit a less costly one - we can get another from the crab pot, hopefully - or from the mines.

Tonight around 10 o'clock PM, a rare and beautiful event will take place.
The moonlight jellies will be passing by Pelican Town on their long journey south for the winter.

We're all gathering at the beach to watch. You don't want to miss this!

This week's recipe is ...

Bread! Breadmaking can be a very complex form of art, but I'll make it simple for you. The most important ingredient is flour, of course. But before we create the dough we'll need to activate our yeast. They prefer warm water and a little something to feed on. I use plain sugar, but honey or maple syrup will do!

[Farren]

Note - inventory has *not* been updated yet. We sold pretty much everything we caught, so not much changes other than what we donated and sold.

Today is the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies. Our first choice to make today: should we attend the holiday?

If we attend: we must report to the beach sometime between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM. Time will not pass at the event, but once it ends we'll be teleported back to the farm and it will be midnight.
If we do not attend: we miss out on the event.
Either way: vendors will be *open* today, but we cannot visit the beach (other than to attend the event).

Please vote yes or no. Deadline for this decision is: (expired on 2023-09-19 23:00:00).

Players may still discuss what else to do today; deadline for that will be 48 hours after the above deadline.

If y'all vote yes, I'll post what Pierre has for sale at the event.

[Farren]

If we're going to fish, it will have to be at one of the river / lake.

[Farren]

Dance of the Moonlight Jellies is a go!

Normally I load up the game to grab these lists, but given that I'd basically have to play through the day to get it, making an exception.

Here's what Pierre has to sell:

Moonlight Jellies Banner: 800G
Cloud Decal: 1200G (two different types)
Starport Decal: 1000G
Modern Rug: 4000G
Seafoam Pudding: 5000G (max 1)

[Farren]

(Seafoam Pudding is a dish that temporarily provides a notable benefit to fishing skill. It's a great dish to have if you need every advantage against a fishy foe.)

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-09-21 23:00:00) left to amend today's plans! Note that visiting the Moonlight Jellies is locked in.

[Farren]

So today's plan:
- Fish. Since we're visiting the traveling cart, we'll hit up the forest river. Concentrating on cash.
- Moonlight Jellies.
- I did see the note about trying to get someone to eight hearts. Haley is currently ahead with seven hearts, so she's close.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

Fishing results: a decent haul today. Fishing on the river generally isn't super lucrative, at least during the summer, but we caught quite a few Pikes and even a few Dorados, which sell for 187G each (250G if Iridium, and we did manage to get two Iridium Pikes). No new artifacts, but we did fish up a couple of geodes.

We did run out of bait, and to the best of my knowledge we're out of bug meat, so can't make any more. We'll either need to buy more from Willy, farm some bug meat in the Mines, or do without for future fishing trips.

We ended the day at

20,369G

.

[Farren]

Dance of the Moonlight Jellies

We hit up the beach right at 10:00 PM. Pretty much everyone in the village was there, so we made the conversational rounds. The general consensus: goodbye Summer, hello Fall. Pierre did note that he was going to update his stock tomorrow with a new selection of Fall seeds; he recommends we stop by and buy a whole bunch.

Candles floated in the water - both individual sticks as well as a boat loaded with candles. Lewis released the boat from the dock; when he did, the Jellies came out.

There were so many of them! They floated peacefully near the docks, wafting back and forth. We saw some baby jellies - and a single green jelly, which seemed interested in us specifically!

It didn't last long, but it was truly a wondrous event. When it ended, we hurried back to the farmhouse - it was getting late.

[Farren]

The Traveling Cart had no blueberries for sale. It did have a Rare Seed, but we already have a couple of them - and we're saving up for the Vault.

[Farren]

An early visitor

As the new day dawned, we heard knocking at our door right as we woke up. When we opened the door, Jodi was there to greet us. She was out of breath; apparently the walk here took something out of her.

She offered us a dinner invitation! But there's a catch - she wants us to provide the meal. Specifically, she wants a

largemouth bass

to serve at the dinner.

If we want to take her up on it, we should show up at her house at 7:00 PM with the bass.

New Quest!

Fish Casserole
Jodi swung by the farm to ask you to dinner at 7:00 PM. Her only request was that you bring a largemouth bass for her fish casserole.

As this is a new season, please let me know if anyone wants to Explore today.

Exploring means I make an early trip to a location to check it out and post the details before deadline, so people have time to use that knowledge today. Regions, houses, and shops can all be explored. If there's anything forgotten, newly accessible, or of special interest, I'll point it out.

Note that I will include the trip in the official playthrough, even if we don't actually do anything there.

Social update: Fall 1

7 Hearts: Haley
5 Hearts: Sam
4 Hearts: Maru, George, Emily, Jodi, Alex
3 Hearts: Clint, Robin, Evelyn, Leah, Linus, Abigail, Caroline, Pierre, Demetrius, Lewis, Penny
2 Hearts: Marnie, Elliott, Harvey, Gus, Shane, Pam, Willy, Sebastian, Vincent
1 Heart: Jas
0 Hearts: Wizard

Note: We can enter people's bedrooms if we have at least 2 hearts with them - which makes it easier to stop by and hit a particular person with a gift, if we want to make sure to hit someone (or multiple someones, if they live in the same house).

Crafting page has been updated. Still to-do: community center update.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-09-25 23:00:00) left to add to today's list. It's going to be a planting day, which is usually pretty time-consuming.

[Farren]

Thanks, everyone.

Here is today's list.

- We're doing a full forage loop, heading counter-clockwise around the world, stopping at the lake to try and fish up a largemouth bass for Jodi.
- We're stopping by Pierre to buy some seeds. 21 pumpkin seeds, some cranberry seeds, and ten of anything we need for the fall bundle. (I'm going to also grab some Wheat, as there's a bundle that wants that too.)
- We're stopping by Clint to crack geodes.
- Specifically, make sure the cranberry seeds get planted today no matter what. Everything else can wait if it needs to (but if it doesn't need to, plant it.)
- I'm going to add the Rare Seeds to that "do it today" list as well; they take most (all?) of the season to grow.

Also, I need to update the official chore list, upload videos, and catch up the Community Center list.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

Sunflower by beehives too.

[Farren]

Today's results:

- Foraging:

total bust

. Not a single piece of forage spotted anywhere in the Forest, Woods, Beach (other than the crab pot - it had a shrimp! Yay!), Town, or Mountains.
- Clint: geodes cracked. We got a piece of Jamborite for the museum. A few duplicate minerals, most of which got sold. Some coal, which we kept.
- Pierre: we bought Eggplants, Yams, Pumpkins (for the fall bundle), cranberries (because Ariel said so), and Wheat (spirit of DragonEater's request). Note: the Quality Bundle wants either 5 corn OR 5 pumpkins. Fall bundle wants Eggplants, Pumpkin, and Yam. Fodder Bundle wants Wheat x10 (as well as Hay x10 and Apple x3. The hay can be provided at any time; the Apples are going to be problematic. They're fall-only, but the saplings take a full season to grow.)
- Fishing: we managed to catch one Largemouth Bass at 6:10 PM. Rushed down to Jodi's, arriving at 7:10 PM - which was good enough. We enjoyed dinner with Jodi and her family. No obvious rewards from this one.
- Farming: we planted the Eggplants, Cranberries, Sunflowers (by the beehives), and Yams. Did not plant the pumpkins, mixed seeds, or wheat. (ran out of time / light)

A rough life

As we made our rounds through the town, we noticed Alex having a heart-to-heart conversation with his dog, Rusty. He acted surprised when he saw us, wanting to know how much of it we'd heard. We thought a white lie best;

we told him we hadn't really heard him.

Alex seemed relieved. He then asked if we knew why he was being raised by his grandparents. Turns out, his dad was ... not a nice person. Drunk half the time and abusive the other half. His dad up and left; his mom passed away.

After this, Alex shook himself out of his mood, deciding it was better to keep a positive outlook. He had a rough childhood, but it's made him who he is today, and he can't complain about the outcome. He then pulled a steak out for his dog, who seemed pretty eager to enjoy the meal.

Goat Snacks

Another knock on the door this morning! This time, it was Marnie. She's looking for a favor: she'd like a cave carrot. She wants to train her goats to talk, and they're not feeling very cooperative. Cave Carrots get their attention.

If we could help her out, she'd appreciate it. We'll need to deliver the Cave Carrot to her ranch, specifically, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

New quest!

Marnie's Request

Marnie came by the farm and asked if you'd bring her a cave carrot. She's trying to train her goats to speak, and cave carrot is their favorite snack.

(expired on 2023-09-28 23:00:00) left to suggest any additional ideas for today!

[Farren]

Mining it is. We'll see how far we can get today.

Playthrough to begin shortly!

[Farren]

We got the pumpkin seeds and mixed seeds planted; still haven't planted the Wheat yet. One of our cows produced a Large Milk today, which I saved for the Animal Bundle.

Mining: we made it from floor 95 to 108 this time.

There was a treasure on floor 100: a

Stardrop!

This

increased our maximum energy permanently

to 304.

Note - the fighting is getting tough! I had to snack down on cheese twice to avoid getting killed. The broadsword is almost too slow; I might go back to one of the other, faster weapons.
The mining is also getting tough; it's taking two hits to take out regular rocks again. Most of the energy from the cheeses got put to use breaking rocks, and we got a free refill when we snagged the Stardrop.

We got something along the lines of 25 gold ore, a few Magma Geodes, and a couple of Diamonds, along with the usual assorted stuff.

[Farren]

Level up!

We've reached level 5 Combat!
We've reached level 6 Mining!

+5 HP
+1 Pickaxe proficiency

New perk: Fighter! We do an extra 10% damage going forward. The vote for Level 5 combat is now closed.
New crafting recipe: Bomb! 4 iron ore + 1 coal = an explosive device of greater magnitude than the cherry bomb.

Also, the foraging drought has ended. We snagged some plums and hazelnuts at the bus stop on the way to the mines. I made a point of saving at least one of each.

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-10-01 23:00:00) left to suggest plans for the next day!

[Farren]

We haven't done much fishing in Fall yet; I don't know just how lucrative fishing is this season. We could certainly give it a shot.

Could also comb through the inventory list and see if there's anything worth giving up to sell for cash.

[Farren]

Fishing it is. Aiming for 25K.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Had to make an abrupt change of plans. Fishing wasn't going to cut it after all - we were out of Bait. So went to the mines instead.

We have completed the Mines!

Floor 120 was the final floor. This also officially wraps up the related quest.

Reward for completing floor 110: Space Boots, which are +4 def / +4 immunity. (+1/+1 improvement over our previous boots.)
Reward for completing floor 120: the

Skull Key

. We don't know what it does, but we're keeping it in our wallet. We should keep an eye out for any skull-shaped locks, or doors with skulls on them, or things like that.

We had some time left, so I opted to hit up some of the earlier floors of the mines looking for bugs. We now have 100+ bait again, which should last ... well, a day or two, at the rate we go through it.

Thanks to the lucky day, we also got quite a few gemstones. Given the desire to concentrate on cash, I sold the gems we found. We ended the day with

22,929G.

[Farren]

We can now complete the Quality Crops bundle - today's corn harvest put us up to 5 quality corn total.
We also picked up a Yam from the duggies; can turn that in to Fall Crops.
We also got another Crab from a rock crab.

If you're a farmer in a small town, it's likely you'll be asked to create a "grange display" at some point. Typically, a grange display consists of 9 items that best showcase your talents. Shoot for high quality, high value items and make sure to have a variety as well. Fish, minerals, artisan goods, fruit, and vegetables are all good to have!

[Farren]

I am starting up another round of video uploads. Should be able to have those posted in ... ~12 hours or so.

[Farren]

Excess eggs are getting sold.

In theory we could either make a second trip to the coop in the evening or craft a couple more mayo machines if we wanted to turn all four to mayo.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Summer 25

Spoiler: Summer 26

Spoiler: Summer 27

Spoiler: Summer 28 - Dance of the Moonlight Jellies

As it turns out there's a daily upload cap, so will do the Fall videos later.

[Farren]

We can, but we're running low on storage space. If we want to start storing them, we'll need another chest.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Fall 1

Spoiler: Fall 2

Spoiler: Fall 3

[Farren]

(expired on 2023-10-05 23:00:00) left to submit more ideas for today!

[Farren]

Today's list:
- Craft another chest.
- Start storing excess eggs instead of selling them.
- Fish. Sell proceeds to Willy.
- If we get to 25K by the end of the day, donate it to the Community Center.

Playthrough to start shortly!

[Farren]

Chest: crafted.
Eggs: the ones that aren't being turned into mayo are now being stored.
Fish: the catch of the day at the ocean wasn't all that impressive, but it got us up past the threshold.
Donations: made!
- 25,000G bundle at the vault is done. We got a Crystalarium as a reward, which can duplicate gems at no cost. The process takes time. I loaded it up with a diamond.
- Crab pot bundle for the fish tank is done. We got three more crab pots as a reward. These can go in any body of water. (We currently have one in the ocean.)
- Quality Crops is done. We got a preserves jar as a reward. Haven't placed it yet.
- Fall Foraging is done. We got Wild Fall Seeds x30 as a reward. Haven't planted them yet.

[Farren]

Special Orders

On our way to the beach, we noticed Robin and Lewis working on a large notice board over by Lewis's house.

Lewis explained that thanks to the success of Content Farm, the local economy has been booming - and as a result, people were looking for ways to spend some of their hard-earned cash. With this new notice board, people can post larger-scale requests than the sort Pierre usually gets. We've been encouraged to give it a try!

The Special Orders board is up! New orders will be posted weekly.

I took the liberty of picking the order today - as one of them was "Catch 20 Ocean fish," which dovetailed nicely with what we were planning to do anyway. We finished this request, earning

1500G

, and we got to keep the fish. (Or rather, sell them to Willy.)

[Farren]

Bus Stop

As a reward for completing the Vault, the Junimos have repaired the bus! We can check it out at our leisure.

Note that

exploring

is an option here, if people want to see what options the bus has without committing to anything.

[Farren]

Also, we have a new regular quest: Clint wants to look at 30 freshly-mined copper ores. He offers 300G, and we can keep the ore. Due date is tomorrow, end-of-day.

[Farren]

One thing I just realized - my start-of-day announcement for Fall 4 said that we got five Basic Retaining Soil from Jodi. When I did the playthrough today, we actually got five Quality Fertilizer instead. I'm guessing there must be some sort of random element to spontaneous gifts via mail, so would advise people not to get too attached to anything posted there.

[Farren]

Today is:

Friday, Fall 5

Cash on hand:
