Kupo, do you mine with the hammer you got or with the battle hammer? I have NEVER gotten a single piece of gold in all my 3 months of mining. D: i didn't even know it was available in 1st gen..

Does it get easier to get in 2nd gen, at least? And also, i always got more diamonds than sapphires. XD How weird, i wonder how the randomness is determined in our games, since everyone gets different ores easier..

Also, im assuming a higher mining lvl only uses less RP, but doesn't increase your chances of getting better ore. right?

Kupo, isn't the fish needed to win the Fishing contest only 16 cm+ ? Or maybe i'm mistaken >.<

And also, you can also catch plenty of Turbot at Altar/Old Ship in Blessia Island.

Anyone figure out what fish you can catch on your farm in fall/winter? XP im curious.

I always mine with the Battle Hammer and I always charge it as well. If you need Gold, I can send you some on WiFi, I have about 8 of them and I'd be glad to give you some.

Really?! Diamonds must be especially rare for me... I don't get Sapphires often either but I have only one Diamond >< Yeah... maybe I'll just put "Rare" instead of adding a "Very Rare" since it seems to vary with the game.

I am fairly sure that's correct. I haven't noticed myself getting anymore diamond or sapphire than before. Charging and using the battle hammer helps a lot, especially avoiding Scrap Iron as I rarely get it anymore.

As for the Fishing Contest... the fish I handed in was 20cm, but on another topic I heard someone mention that they tried 12, 14 and 16cm and that none of those worked. Better safe than sorry I guess, though I might be wrong too ><

Alright, I'll add in the Turbot (thanks Misti! You've been a really great help).
I'm guessing Fall will be Masu Trout and Winter will be Pond Smelt, judging by the caves... hm. I'm just about to go into Fall so I'll know shortly.

Aww =( Ah well. Yeah, it does! I usually stick to a spear/sword when killing monsters, but when I'm mining, sometimes the monster tries to attack me and the only thing between me and the monster is the mining rock. If you charge the battle hammer it has a wide area of effect, so it both mines the rock in front of me and hits (most likely kills, since it deals 70-100 damage) the monster in front of me! Very useful XD

Oh under ground means you can't see it just run around and you will find it.
