Answer 1

1. Go to Glenn's house on a Saturday from 11am to 1pm; make sure you don't have anything in your tool slot and at least one space open in your rucksack. Glenn is the old man whose house is on the spiral hill two screens directly south of your farm.

2. You can get one piece a year, I believe, if you fulfill the mayor's New Year request. If you are looking for it as a building material, use stone. It is almost as good, and not nearly as expensive.

3. The fastest possible money source, before you have animals, is through mining. There are a couple of tricks for that.

The best mining is in the second mine, but that takes some resources, like Turbo Jolt DX, to properly exploit; so I'm going to tell you about the less effective, but less expensive, way.
1. Enter the mine lobby in the upper right corner of the map.
2. Save.
3. Use you hoe to dig up the dirt in the lobby, trying to remember where you find things.
4. Reload the save.
5. All the items you found are where they where before, so dig them up without wasting energy digging up empty floor. (PS coin bags aren't worth it, skip them.)
6. Exit the lobby.
7. Repeat starting at step 1.

While the flower and the suntan lotion aren't worth much, the bracelet and earrings are worth 2,000 gp each! Time also runs slower in the lobby, so while it can take a LONG real world time to gather any real money using this method, it doesn't take too much game time. You can also use this method in the mines themselves to maximize your energy efficiency.

There are several other schemes that are more time effeicent, but this one can get you some good starting money.

Answer 2

Early on, you can use a really "quick" way of making money that does not take much energy or in-game time (although it may take quite a bit of real time). Just enter the Excavation Site and before you do anything further, save your game inside. Proceed to dig for jewelry but do not save your game again. Instead, simply note the map cells where you found the jewelry by digging up the whole place. Go reload your last save and go directly to the spots where you found the jewelry pieces before and dig only those squares. Save your new found riches, and reset the Excavation Site by exitting and re-entering the map. You can loop the exploit -- the interred jewelry will randomized upon entry to the Excavation Site (note leaving a mine and then going back won't do; you need to exit completely to the 'outside'). You can repeat this as long as you want (or as long as your dude's energy holds out). While not helpful when other avenues of revenue are available, you will find this quite helpful early on in starting up your place.

Answer 3

1. You have to go to that old dude's house on a certain day. it should actually tell you in the Harvest moon manual that came with the game. if you bought it somewhere where it didn't come with one then you can probly find out by looking at a cheats website.
2. No
3. Best way is a lot of fruit trees, and a lot of games at the elf house.
