Btw, Kupo, are you working on the monster guide? I have some info if you need anything.. not a lot tho, since i don't tamper with monsters that much >.<

I don't think I'll start on it right now. I'm at a relative's house helping out around the house, so if I started it I'd have to e-mail it to myself and... bleh. Tomorrow morning I'll start up on it - that'd be awesome! If you have info you can PM it to me, I'll be very grateful =) Thank you.
EDIT: Misti, I'll be able to give you info on "Hot-Hot F." which is a winter phantom crop. It only takes 20 days to grow but due to the strange name and that it's grouped with the other phantom crops, it must be phantom too. Mine should be ready for harvest in a few days.
EDIT AGAIN: Nevermind, I see you already have the info^^

Alright. I'm starting work on the Monster Guide tomorrow... right now it's bedtime =/. This is an update... hehe... (bump in disguise).

To add to the fishing guide..

I was able to catch a Fall Flounder at the Messhina Valley, Bridge to Shrine. I noticed you didn't have it on the list. It also might be rare, it was the only one I've caught and it sold for 530 g.

Glad to see this up. Though, I've always wondered... How do you get the phantom crops to begin with?

Thanks, Kemine~ I'll add it to the list, and you to the credit list.

I'm fairly sure that in RF2 you can just buy them at the general store. >< They're the ones that take forever to grow and that aren't "normal" vegetables.

*UPDATE*
Monsters section is now completed (first generation only for now). Eventually there will have to be a whole different section for 2nd gen because the stats of most monsters change... Oh well.

MistiRose: Would you mind changing the number before "Crops" to 7. please? Thanks^^ Also, the fish from your farm in Fall is Chub... wasn't that the same as Summer? =( Oh well.

Cool. I'll keep a lookout for more. It sounds like it's only in Fall, but rare. I actually found it while I was looking for salmon. :/

Oh, another thing I'd suggest. It'd be nice to have things alphabetized, like for instance the fish and stuff. It would make trying to find a fish easier.

That's a good idea.. I was considering it in the old "Mining+Fishing Guide" thread, but I didn't think I had a complete list of all the fish. I still don't but it's darn close, so I'll alphabetize it now.^^

Hey, i finally got myself a battle hammer to mine with, and i'm getting mixed feelings with this tool. First of all, it's a bit slow compared to my normal hammer, and secondly, i seem to be getting way more iron/bronze than the gems. O.o; has anyone noticed this? I also still get 9 pieces of scrap iron a day

.. so i think i might just stick to my regular hammer..

But, i did get 2 pieces of gold right off the bat. XD so it definitely works for gold.

Was anyone able to mine platinum in 1st gen?

This is great! I've just go one thing for you: getting Scrap Iron is randon. I've charged up my hammer and got scrap iron many times. Other than that, it's good.

^You know how people say "save/reload"? I've noticed that the ores change everytime if i reload right after i wake up. Does that mean there's actually a SET ore in each rock then, so no matter what hammer you use, you're gonna get one of those set ores? Or is it..still somehow random?

For example: I wake up, run to Trieste forest, and get 3 scrap irons and 1 aquamarine with my REGULAR hammer. I don't like it, so i reload back to 6 AM, and this time i get an earth crystal, 2 emeralds, and 1 scrap. Does this mean the ores are SET in stone (no pun intended XD) each time we reload, so no matter which hammer i use to mine, i'll still get the same ores? (But maybe in a different order, because the ores could be "circulating" between the 4 rocks? ..)

^Sorry if that was confusing >.<

Really? I think it might tend to vary between the different games. It may be that Battle Hammer increases the chance of getting rare metals such as gold, silver, etc. cause I have tons of those. Now that you mention it though, I don't have many Rubies or Amethysts (though I have lots of Emeralds and Aquamarines...) What's going on?! I think I'll put in the guide, "Try the Battle Hammer and Normal Hammer." since it seems to vary for different people ><

Nope, I haven't gotten it, but someone said it could be mined... perhaps they were in 2nd gen. I forgot who it was though ><

Are you sure? For me, I get a lot less scrap iron when I use the Battle Hammer and charge it up... Are you using the Battle Hammer or normal hammer?

No I understand what you mean but I don't think that's the case... I saved outside Padova Mts once, when I was trying to get a Diamond. I just kept reloading from that same save spot (so it was the same day - not reloading from the morning of) and eventually I got Diamond... so the ores are randomly determined right when you hit them (or maybe when you enter the map that they're in). I don't think they're pre-determined at the beginning of the day.

I was using a battle hammer for both gens. Especaily 2nd when your tools are rusted. While my winter crops in Padova were growing in 1st gen, I mined a few scrap iron with a normal charged hammer.
