Ushi No Tane - Harvest Moon

Does anyone else feel like the game has been kind of buggy lately? I've had it crash many times while loading some of the more crowded farms. It's crashing more often while trying to load menus as well. :\

Yeah, it's crashing on me at least once almost every time I play, especially like you said, when visiting the more crowded farms.

I was all excited that they brought the bananas back, until I realized they DIDN'T bring the monkeys back with them. :[ Seems a little...I dunno, almost half thought through on their parts. Now I'm all sad~

This is a great idea. Here's mine: Nadia x -418 y -473.

Muse you can get your grey lop ear- and via trade!!

This is so bizarre. So I'm guessing the angora rabbit is rank 4 then??

It does seem like this last update fixed the freezing problems I was having. Before the update, I wasn't able to click everything on my farm without reloading 2-3 times, and that was with tricks like switching tabs in the browser and stuff like that. Now I can even visit other farms again!

Not much activity here 8D ~~anyway, im almost finished all quests, but now i need Fig's Level 5 (im almost there), trade some animals, brown cow and chimpmunk, i read before that the best way to got it should be, if i use 1 Level5 heart cow + 4 Level3 heart cow, for a better efficiency time/% , this is correct?

well, thanks for help me guys, add me i click everyday.

Here is the table for cows:

Animal Level / %Rank Up / %Color Change / %Failure / Exp Incr if Fail / Levels with Same Outcome
333 / 24 / 7 / 69 / 1
433 / 29 / 7 / 64 / 1 / 444
533 / 34 / 7 / 59 / 2 / 544,553
555 / 41 / 7 / 52 / 2 / 554
633 / 39 / 7 / 54 / 3 / 644,653,654
655 / 46 / 7 / 47 / 3 / 663,666
733 / 44 / 7 / 49 / 3 / 743,754
755 / 51 / 7 / 42 / 4 / 774,776
777 / 58 / 7 / 35 / 4
833 / 49 / 7 / 44 / 4 / 843,853
855 / 56 / 7 / 37 / 5 / 866,875,883,885
877 / 63 / 7 / 30 / 5 / 876,886,887
933 / 54 / 7 / 39 / 5 / 953
955 / 61 / 7 / 32 / 6 / 966,973,983,984,993
977 / 68 / 7 / 25 / 6 / 976,988,995,998
999 / 75 / 7 / 18 / 6
X33 / 59 / 7 / 34 / 0 / X44
X55 / 66 / 7 / 27 / 0 / X83
X77 / 73 / 7 / 20 / 0 / X88,X95,X97,XX3,XX7
X99 / 80 / 7 / 13 / 0 / XX8,XX9
XXX / 87 / 7 / 6 / 0

Adding items increases alt color chances by 11%, so if you use one level 10 cow and two level 9s w/item bonus, you would only have a 2% chance of total failure.

It is hard to argue efficiency with these when going for rank 3 animals, because if you fail a lot at getting the rank 2 animals, you won't want to attempt a rank 3 with low-level animals!

From here.

10184: milk, check. Um...cream? Prolly leveled-up cows, right? Mochi? Where do I get mochi?

Ghee and mozzarella. They are both from water buffalo.

I keep not having the time to pop into my game and clean everything up, with all the real-life stuff I've had to do. >_O My island must be a mess.

Is there any different between the drop rates of collection items off crops vs seeds like there is for trees vs stumps? I've got a couple "collect x of x" quests still running, so I was wondering if it'd be better for me to aim for seeds instead.

Wow! I've been using Firefox to play this, and playing had become difficult again. It would crash and I would have to reload 2-3 times while resetting my island after an overnight pause, and it would crash almost every time I loaded someone else's island, regardless of how much was on it. Reloading would freeze the entire browser for a full minute before it actually did reload. Clicking on anything required a wait of around 30-45 seconds for each item to register experience and money. I tried the switching tabs trick, but the browser would usually freeze for about 20 seconds before switching tabs, and not even that would save it from crashing often.

I switched to Safari today, which I never use, because I got tired of the entire browser freezing when I played this (I'm usually multitasking, so not being able to do other things while I waited for it to load was annoying). It works so much better! The browser doesn't seize up when I load an island, clicking something registers right away after the progress bar fills, the islands load within seconds... it's kind of amazing. I don't know if it's because Safari handles flash better, or one of the other pages I have open somehow taxed Firefox's resources (nothing else was running flash, so I doubt it), or what. But Safari works really well for me.

It's been nine days since the last post, so "bump".
Do only the capybara give crowns?

I've been going about the quests slowly, and I don't have a lot of the animals, so some of the exchanges are still hidden from me. I'm trying to figure out if the penguin exchanges are a limited deal? It doesn't seem like it, but I just wanted to be sure. Annoyingly, I bought a bear in haste after reading the update, and now I have one less I can contribute to the bear quest when I do that.

The drops are getting me down again. I've been trying to get bear drops for the past month to try and fill in my item table, but nothing. Now I need a bunch to buy penguins. >_< I've also got two quests I've been sitting on for the past few weeks, trying to get carrot juice and cosmos butterflies that just won't drop.

Trade animals have never been limited edition, so take your time with that.

Has anyone figured out if the balloon does anything? o.o

It doesn't yet. It might next week when they put in the next part of their "Get a Treasure of the World" campaign. Or it could be just a limited edition item.
