Starting to play this again some questions..

[GamerJustin]

Hello everyone, I recently just started playing Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley again and I have a few questions that I had on my mind that I'm sort of know, but don't really. I'll list them below to make it easier to answer.

1. How many mutation crops do I need to sell in order for Sam and Iris to start selling those mutation seeds? Also is it the same with products from animals like Great Milk and I believe its called Great Wool?

2. Has anyone actually been able to max out there friendship with the Harvest Sprites? Do you think some of the missing mutations could be from having the Harvest Sprites at maxed chemistry?

3. Do villagers request start repeating after a while or do they come to a end after completing a certain amount from each person?

Thank you for anyone who takes the time to answer these questions. I'll post pictures of my valley once I have it coming together.

Hi GamerJustin,
here are the answers as far as I know them:

1. You have to sell at least 50 of one mutation to unlock the seeds, but I think, this just works with crops and flowers, but not this other things. I never heard about buying better eggs (for e.g.), if you have sold 50.

2. There could be a chance, but I dooubt it.
Irulethegalaxy has written, that it could be possible, that you get a hint from the requests of Luke and Andrea, by the item you get as a reward, but this is also a speculation. Look here: http://fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f ... &start=885

3. There are two different types of requests:

A) The first ones are the personal request. Every villager has up to 10 personal request, which will not appear again, if you have finished them. Look here: http://fogu.com/hm12/requests.php

B) The second ones are seasonal request, which appear, after you have finished all the personal request from one person.
They could appear more than once and the reward is allways the same. Look here: http://fogu.com/hm12/seasonal-requests.php

For the mutation seeds, 30 of single-growth veggies, and 50 of regrowing veggies and flowers (the flowers are going to be the death of me...)

Do Sam and Iris start selling animal products if you sell enough of them? Erm...I've been hoarding mine...Imma go try that.

In my boy file, I HAVE maxed affection with all but two sprites (Dewy and Calvin). No extra perks that I can spot, other than that they are better at their jobs.

The base 10 villager requests do not repeat, but the seasonal ones do. AND what request you get is random; each villager seems to have at least 2 seasonal requests, probably for each season. I am working Luke HARD for potential hints about seed mutations, but so far I am still in spring. And I was going to post my Luke notes on here but naaaaaturally that's the one thing I left at home this morning. So far, Luke's 10th request rewarded with squash seeds and goby fertilizer; his first spring request rewarded with 10 San Marzano seeds and 10 tomato blend (which is the formula for red zepplins). It ALSO OCCURS TO ME JUST NOW AS I AM TYPING THIS....some of his requests gave out mutation seeds and then either fish or material stone. DANG IT, I WANT MY NOTES. This possibly might be a clue as to the elevation to grow those particular mutations????
