Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley
Any% Nature Reserve notes
[Updated 4 Dec 2020]

Practice run on state 3:
- AP: P66, R51, W42
- Need to give special wood to Parsley at Cafe



EVENT PATHS
- The Hundred Year Old Cherry Tree (Parsley)
- The Secret Fossil (Rudolph)
- The Rebirth of the True Harvest Festival (Woody)

GENERAL NOTES
- Parsley seems to have an AP threshold for berries around 28, giving him +4 (else +2). Threshold didn't trigger from 33, so maybe it is just a random small window? Doublecheck.
- Parsley's birthday is Spring 16, Woody's is Winter 2, Rudolph's is Summer 14.
	> Parsley got +5 for very berry
- Gift before talking and you will get the convo boost in addition to the gift
- Assuming you must do PTW 5 times to unlock mine, distribute these trips to 1-2 times a week in order to guarantee a full forage every time (2BB, 5VB, plus some herbs).
- Try and find a better gift for Ronald (berries and herbs and minerals are just +1). Rare Metal and Blue Rock are +3.
- You don't appear to get any boosts from cutscenes, so avoid any optional ones that you can.
- Save your last gift to Woody (and Rudolph?) for the same day that you trigger the Cherry Tree cutscene with him (Y1 Winter 6-18).
- Since you must enter the cafe to give the special wood to Parsley, either consider saving your final PTW with Rudolph until that day, or do PTW with someone else to burn the time (likely the latter).
- Figure out why the Katie farm intro cutscene happens--is it just because you got Woody's farm cutscene?

AFFECTION
- Parsley: 65
	> No more than 29 before Y1 Fall 6
	> At least 50 by Y1 Winter 10
	> At least 55 by Y2 Spring 10
	> At least 60 by Y2 Spring 30
	> At least 65 by Y2 Summer 13
- Rudolph: 50
	> At least 40 by Y1 Winter 25
	> At least 50 by Y2 Summer 21
- Woody: 40
	> No intro before Y1 Fall 19
	> At least 30 by Y2 Spring 11
	> At least 40 by Y2 Fall 1

SPRING 1
- Goddess Questions: Mixed
- Forage ~40-43 gifts (various)
- Do enough part-time work to meet Rudolph's reqs (25 by Winter 15, 30 by Y2 Summer)
- Raise Rudolph's AP to 40 by Y1 Winter 21, 50 by Y2 Summer 16
- Raise Parsley's AP to 50 between Y1 Fall 6 and Winter 5
- Raise Woody's AP to 30 between Y1 Fall 19 and Y2 Spring 11; to 40 by Y2 Fall 1
- Probably wait to do any mining until you would be gifting Woody. That means using 6-9am to forage, gifting Woody on the way to mine, then mining/gifting Rudolph.
