HM:IoH Marriage Testing

Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness
Marriage Testing
[Updated 11 Jun 2023]

Info from UnoT

BACHELORETTES
- Chelsea
- Julia: Arrives when Mirabelle sets up shop
- Sabrina:
	> Have Gannon build the bridge to access the mine
	> Ship 20 or more items from the mine
- Natalie
- Witch
- Lanna

MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS
- Upgrade the house twice
- Buy the big bed
- Have the church, Nathan, and Alisa on the island
- Unlock the main 23 "portraited" characters: Taro, Elliot, Felicia, Natalie, Gannon, Eliza, Mirabelle, Vaughn, Julia, Chen, Charlie, Denny, Witch, Harvest Goddess, Nathan, Alisa, Regis, Sabrina, Pierre, Lanna, Shea, Wada, and Mark (if playing as a girl) or Chelsea (if playing as a boy)
- View the purple, blue, and yellow heart events
- Blue Feather becomes available for 1000G from Chen's shop when any girl reaches 50000AP (orange heart)
- Test if you can skip unlocking the following villagers: Denny, Alisa, Regis, Sabrina, Pierre, Lanna, Shea, Wada, Chelsea/Mark
	> Chelsea is NOT required
- Managed to marry with all main villagers except Chelsea, with 26 sub-villagers, plus Trent. Is it possible that Mineral Towners can count toward the total?
- In this case, it may be a matter of at least 23 villagers. The MTers appear to arrive when the hotel is upgraded and all 7 sprites are unlocked, arriving early in a given season (maybe first few days).
- Costliest villagers to unlock are probably Denny, Lanna, Pierre, and Chelsea
- Upon testing, MTers do not seem to work. Chelsea is definitely not required, but Pierre seems to be.
- Further testing seems to show that all villagers are required except Chelsea. The only reason the sub-villagers are required is probably just to upgrade the cafe in order to unlock Pierre.

CHARACTER UNLOCK REQUIREMENTS
- Gannon: Auto (Spring 11)
- Eliza: Upgrade the house
- Mirabelle: Auto (Spring 12)
- Vaughn: Auto (Spring 16; possibly after talking to Julia)
- Julia: Auto (Spring 12)
- Chen+Charlie: Auto (Start)
- Denny: Catch at least 50 things fishing and unlock E. Town
- Witch: Have Gannon build the bridge from W. Town to the forest
- Goddess: Have Gannon build the bridge to the forest and throw something in her pond
- Nathan: Have Gannon build the bridge to the forest and give two(?) offerings to the Goddess. Alternatively, could require just one "liked" offering, or two sleeps after the first offerings.
- Alisa: Unlock the Forest by asking Gannon to build the bridge from W.Town to the Forest. Once that is completed, toss a favorable gift into the Goddess' pond for a few days.
- Regis: Have Gannon build the bridge to the Forest, and then ship 20 or more items found from the mine on the Mountain.
- Sabrina: Ship 20 or more items from the mine
- Pierre: Upgrade your house to medium size, have 20 to 25 sub-villagers, then give food items to the upgraded Diner and/or Cafe. Once you have learned 5 cooking recipes he should move in.
	> Cafe and Diner will only upgrade once you have fridge+kitchen and 20 and 25 sub-villagers, respectively. Only one recipe per day from each.
	> Does not appear to require 5 recipes (got him with 3). The Diner also was not upgraded.
	> Does require 5 recipes, but you start with 2, so you only need an additional 3.
- Lanna: Unlock E.Town (around Spring 11) and catch 70 or more items while fishing (fish, Empty Cans, etc.)
- Shea: Hire Gannon to build the bridge from E.Town to the Jungle
- Wada: Hire Gannon to build the bridge that leads to the Jungle. You will meet Shea and Wada the first time you visit the area.
- Chelsea: Have all of the bridges built, unlock all of the Main villagers (with the exception of the Mineral Town visitors), and have the Island Hotel in E.Town expanded by unlocking 30 or more sub villagers.

MISCELLANEOUS
- Stamina starts at 100
- Basic tools cost 4 Stamina per use, except when used "mistakenly" (i.e., to no effect), which costs 3
- Seeds cost 4 to use, but 2 when used "mistakenly"
- Watering can costs 3 to refill
- Villagers appear to all lose 200AP if you drop ANYTHING on the ground outside your farm
- +300AP with the Witch for throwing away (littering?) 10 items
- Sabrina and Regis lose 500AP each for littering in their house--perhaps this is universal
- Taro gives the fishing rod when you exit the house in the morning after he reaches 2000AP
- Lost 100AP with Taro, Natalie, Felicia, (Elliot?), Witch, and Regis when upgrading to the large house
- "A Growing Island" cutscene appears to trigger at 20 sub-villagers
- Not entirely clear what is required to upgrade the cafe. It seems to be some combination of 20+ villagers (possibly need Thelma and Rita to have moved in), having a kitchen, and possibly having entered the cafe at least once.
- Forageable stamina gains:
	> Purple Grass: +13
	> Blue Grass: +18
	> Indigo Grass: +17

TO TEST
- Try skipping the third bridge. Sub-villager sequence would be:
	> Noe, Ben
	> Build bridge 1: Kalen, Brook, Sean, Robin
	> Build bridge 2: Neil, Earl, Rock, Moira
	> Reach 10: Lance, Madelynn, Nicole, Luke
	> Unlock Church: Marisa

MONEY IDEAS
- Fishing for Pirate Treasure in the ocean (30000G each according to UnoT; summer only)
- Fishing for Fish Fossils in the ocean (12000G according to UnoT; fall only)
- If weather manip is possible, could try an Android-esque strat:
	> On Spring 2, sell sickle and watering can to Chen (+1200G)
	> Buy 14 Turnip seeds
	> On the Spring 3 crop tutorial, till and plant 17 3x3 plots
	> Sleep through however many rainy days
	> Initial harvest would sell for ~45900G
	> Repeat as needed to acquire all the necessary money
