How did you raise 1,000,000 for the house upgrade?

[Cowgirl13]

i want to have my child as fast as possible so i can actually see them grow up. i dont want to finish this game with my child still in its crib like the other harvest moon games. ( or have nothing worth playing for)


how did you raise 1 Million G? and how long did it take you?



P.S also how do you suggest playing this game? id like to experience both towns. i prefer bluebell, but i dont want to just stay in bluebell the whole time and then eventually try out konohana, because i might think watching plants and fish grow sounds too boring and never move. but id like to see their festivals. so i guess id like to move to konohana for a few months and then move back to bluebell and maybe eventually back to konohana for the fish. but i dont know how?

whats your plan?

P.S.S im in fall year 1 with Cam at a green flower and id like to marry him in bluebell.

I'm still working on the 1,000,000G thing. I'm in year 4 married Ash I live in bluebell. But I started in konohana.

Basically, do the rice/flour trick and cook as much as you can. I dunno why, but you get the right recipes and they make a killer profit.
Invest in fertilizer, utilize the Konohana field. You can totally use it even if you're in bluebell. (I'm in Spring, year 1 of my new file and I've already used those fields. Just ride your horse over to water in the morning, come home to do your stuff, forage your way back to konohana, do your stuff there, and BOOM time to water again.)
Invest in animal productivity.
Have patience,
And good luck!

I forage for herbs and fish and stuff which is working quite well.

Those two questions are probably the most commonly asked questions here, as there are lots of topics about them already. Instead of just repeating what everybody as a whole has already said, I'll just link to those old topics. I probably wouldn't be able to explain it any better than they could.

Making seeds and selling the bags!~ Some of them gives you loooooads of money.

I make around 70,000+ each week on livestock products alone and managed to have the money for the house upgrade at the beginning of Year 4. Alpacas make great money with their wool and so do Jersey cows and sheep. Almost all of my livestock (minus most of the chickens) can produce two products a day as well, so that helps a bunch. (:

Do you give them treats to produce more products? That's a lot of money per week!

Many of them, yes. I first started giving my livestock treats early on which increased their friendship (at least I'm assuming, it went up fast compared to those that didn't receive them!) which increased the quality of their products. Here's a breakdown of the livestock I was using at the time if it'll help!

3 Cows (each at level two on productivity) = 560 x 6 = 3360
2 Jerseys (each at level two on productivity) = 1120 x 4 = 4480
5 Chickens (two at level two on productivity) = 288 x 7 = 2016
5 Silkies (one at level two on productivity) = 400 x 6 = 2400
2 Alpacas = 8000 x 2 = 16000
2 Sheep (each at level two on productivity) = 1400 x 4 = 5600
1 Suffolk (at level three on productivity) = 2240 x 3 = 6720

That's about 40,576 a day, although that's not every day because of the sheep and alpaca shearing, so I would estimate closer to 138,688 a week if I counted the sheep and suffolk twice a week and the alpacas once. If I didn't have any sheep, suffolk, or alpacas at all I'd still be making 12,256 a day (85,792 a week) just on cows and chickens! All my animals (minus about half the chickens) are at 5 star quality, so that definitely helps as well. Of course I don't really get that much because I'm doing requests, buying stuff, and cooking all the time. The overall amount could be give or take, depending on whether I shear Good Wool or not and I didn't give my chickens 5 star quality price since about half of them aren't there yet. I did my best to doublecheck my math but of course I could have miscalculated and if so I apologize, but I do know that I typically earn about 20k each morning in total (140k a week), including everything else I forage/sell/etc. in the game.

When it is raining in the morning I go fish at the waterfall in the fall season, then I go back and tend to my animals.

I reverse it and tend to my animals then fish to midnight if it raining in the afternoon. I go about my normal, getting quest turned in if i have or can find the materials quickly.

Then go back fishing till midnight. Or I just go fishing, fill up by fish tab and empty it and go back just make sure you go to bed before 4 In the morning.

I ended up getting I think 6 Lost treasures.

Thats what I did. Its time consuming but it works.

Holy cow... I definetely don't have the patience to do so.... when I lived in Konohana I did that, ONCE. Then my precious livestock died, I got pissed and never did it again. ._.'
I always liked crops more than livestock, so I work better with 'non living' things. (Biologists gonna hate)

[Sere]

I'm doing that now. Foraging/fishing combined with my 2 5-star cows, 2 5-star jersey cows, 3 alpacas, 2 5-star of each sheep, and 5 of each chicken producing for me, I'm almost to the million in one month from 0 to 883486 G, year 2, winter. If I'd known earlier of the crazy amount of money required, I'm almost certain I could have done it year 1

That's very good :D

I'm half way there myself.

I'm in the summer of the second year with 100K and I think I can reach the total in the 4 year x - x
