Skytree DLC Released and no Hamtaro | Posted at 06:12 PM 27 January 2017On Tuesday, the second set of DLC for Harvest Moon: Skytree Village became available through the game's Download Content menu. The two new DLC are $2.99 each (plus tax if applicable). The first is the New Female Character/Statue Set that requires 8 blocks of SD space. It includes the new bachelorette Nova and a totally awesome statue of the game's neglected should-of-been-a-bachelor, Doc. The second DLC is the New Male Character/Statue Set (9 blocks of SD space), which brings new bachelor Edmond and a statue of the Harvest Goddess. The new statues can be crafted at Doc's Insta-building shop, but their material requirements are high! The golden Doc statue requires 10 Gold (30 Gold Ore), 3 Orichalcum (9 Orichalcum Ore), and 100,000 G! Nooo I was saving that G for my house upgrade! I don't have that much to spare! The golden shrine to the smexiest Harvest Moon character ever will have to wait for now. The Harvest Goddess statue requires 10 Bronze, 3 Adamantite, and 100,000 G. As for the new marriage candidates, they appear to be pretty nice. You'll meet Nova as you exit your farm house. She's doesn't want to tell you much about herself, but after seeing how the wild bobcat likes you, she introduces herself and says she wants to see more of your animals. With Edmond, the introduction is also when you exit your house, where you'll find Tabitha and Gareth arguing about the one-magic-user-per-area rule. Edmond is using his own magic to hide his appearance from the two, but you appear to be able to see him just fine. Rowan can't see him either, confirming that Edmond is a very powerful magic user indeed. As reported by XSeed Games last week in their latest Trio of Towns localization blog, the pet Hamtaro will not be available in the English version of the game. Placing Hamtaro on your farm allows the little guy to find wild items for you once per day if you saw the ! above his head, but he is not the only pet that can do so; any of the pets can possibly have that job. You also couldn't make Hamtaro your furmiliar. The hamster could be taken for a walk and hunt for treasure just like any of the other types of pets, but it wasn't anything special other than its voice that would pop up on occasion. There's no news yet if Cheburashka, the post-Japan release DLC pet, will be available in the English version. Cheburashka's job is to fetch you gems, ores, and colored pearls when you see the ! above its head. It too cannot be a furmiliar but it also doesn't require to be fed Pet Food every day. Until next time! - Cher (25 Gold Ore left to go... oh my Doc...)Feedback: Add | View (7)
