I have a question about befriending villagers that might be helpful to add to this beginners' list. Do you need to befriended certain villagers to gain items?
I'm pretty positive nothing is given to you from villagers that is missable. Your items/blueprints/recipes will come from the trade countries (befriend them though), merchants requests, Raeger's restaurant, winning contests and the traveling salesperson. In general this game is very focused around the trading countries and you can ignore the villagers for the most part. It's bad to say but in my very first file other than who I married (Menou) and Marian and Georgio (because they are awesome) I ignored all other villages pretty much unless it was a festival or I was buying something until year 3. That file I played to year 9 and am pretty positive I had mostly everything. In my girl file I made my number one point to be raising my friendship with the villagers and I have them all at high or max friendship, and other than events I'm pretty positive no one gave me items.
