Hunter
Hunter comes to visit the valley when he was searching for a cow that wandered away from his farm. To get him to appear, you'll need to place a barn in the valley. This will happen naturally as you progress through the main storyline of the game. After you help Rowan with returning the Goddess' bracelet to her, you'll be visited by the wacky inventor, Doc. The weird man will give you a Barn Insta-Building to place in the valley. A couple of days after placing the barn, Hunter will appear in the valley.
Hunter doesn't have much to say. At first, he seems to prefer the company of cows. As you raise your friendship with him, he'll eventually come to an understand the appeal of human interaction.
When he is visiting inside your barn, he will be in shopkeeper mode. You can buy animals from him, but animal feed and supplies are sold at Sam's shop. You can use the notebook inside your barn to sell your animals.
Birthday:
- Fall 14
Schedule:
- Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays inside your barn, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
- Also wanders the valley area on Wednesdays, 10am to 7pm
Requests
Hunter develops special feed recipes and requests that you craft the feed to try on your animals via his Hunter's Feed request line. You can either take the time to make the feed he requests (which often require many difficult ingredients and a Windmill from Doc's Assistant #3) or you can simply buy the special feed from Sam's shop. Once Hunter gives you a request for a feed, the next day Sam will include that feed for sale in his inventory.
The feeds requested near the end of his request line aren't for sale at Sam's shop. There are two recipes in the Windmill named Excellent Feed; the one higher in the list is the animal feed for Hunter, and the one at the bottom of the list is a fish food recipe from Gilbert.
You won't earn bonus Chemistry by making the feeds instead of buying them from Sam.
