You know, it might be helpful if you included some tips for the Fishing & Mining festival in this mini faq as well, since they're related to your lists.
Fishing Festival:
Sardine, size 16 cm (minimum) to win. Charge up rod. It's a lvl 4 sardine that sells for 80G. You can "cheat" by catching the fish ahead of time.
Mining Festival:
Ruby in Blessia Island. Go ahead and use one from your shelves if you have it stored. I suggest NOT charging up your hammer, since that seems to have adverse effects in this game O.o .. and save/reload, it's dependent on time.
Btw, Kupo. Might you know where the amethyst is -exactly- hidden in the Adventure Contest? >.< i dont know which part of Blessia island to look for it..Thanks.
Is it like underground? If so it's down in *grabs DS*........................*rides boat*........................AHA! It's atAltar/Old ship under the blue flowers, in that vicinety by the cliff!!!
OH! Ps. You can get PLatinum at Mt.Padova Narrow path!
Ooh! That's a great idea Misti. I'll add that in ASAP!
Unfortunately I haven't reached the adventure contest yet (I'm still on Summer 30) so I can't help you... but it seems gryewolf has solved the problem^^
You can also catch Salmon on that...screen where you're about to enter Messhina Valley with the save point and the waterfall...what was it called again?
*switches on DS*
EDIT: Found it! Messhina Valley - Fall Valley. That one should've been easy to remember *head/desk*
