Story of Seasons! <3

Guys, guys I have a dumb question.

Some clothing patterns are appreciation rewards from vendors. If you miss an appreciation reward pattern, will it come back up next year or is it gone forever? o:

I can't imagine anything would be permanently missable in a game they expect you to pour 3,000 hours into, but just in case, lol.

It will come back, don't worry. Sometimes right away, so you probably won't have to wait that long.

Even if you accept it and then delete it, it will appear on the board again eventually. c:
 
Oh gosh, it's been WAY too long since i've played. ACNL basically took over my life.

But I'm hoping to try and participate in a field competition soon. any hints and tips?

Hoard all the items you can. If you choose the 'money made' option, try to keep any high-priced items to sell on the day of your conquest. If you choose quantity, any items count so hoard things like bugs, fodder, etc. Also, if there is a festival coming up and you're pretty sure you're going to win anyways, just choose that option. Much easier.

If you are selling items, I usually save before the vendors close and go to bed to see if I've won in the morning. If not, I reset and sell more. I don't know if what the other rivals make ever changes, but this has always worked for me.

Oh thank goodness. Thank you! c:

^ It is randomized the next day. :) It generally stays within the same range (though Elise did jump from 20k in sales to 40k in sales once), but it is a random number every time. If you're in the same range as the others, you can just keep resetting until your rivals end up with a lower number.


I had to rest several times back in Fall Y1. I went with "most items shipped" but what I didn't remember was that I had agreed to "restricted to Mountain Crops," and it kept giving me a whole "1 item shipped."
Took a few tries, but I figured it out, then proceeded to buy and resell all of the vendors' mountain crops.

Every time my rivals - Fritz and Giorgio at the time - were always between 15-25 items for the lower rival, and 30-40 for the higher rival. I finally won with 60~. Apparently seeds count as long as it's a mountain crop seed, so that was helpful.


Also - correct me if I'm wrong - your rivals' numbers only seem to scale as the game progresses, not based on what you ship.

Earlier my rivals were always between 500-600 items shipped when we did "any and all items."
Now that I'm a little farther along, my rivals always seem to ship about 900~ items when we do "any and all items" conquests. When I had 1050, Elise had 917. When I had 1500~, Elise and Giorgio both had 950~.

When we did "highest profit" earlier on they were always been 20-60k no matter what I sold, by Winter Y1 they were shipping like 200k even though I shipped nearly 2 million.


I just suggest saving up thousands of fodder for conquests, especially early on since it contributes to your Vesture sales to unlock Tropical Country. Though hopefully once I secure the paddy field in a few "weeks," I can safely hold onto all of them for forever. Here's hoping I don't forget my lease dates.

You do have to jump on it immediately, or else, yes, other rivals will compete for it. But if you go in today and there's no vendors for a few days, they'll schedule your conquest for the next time a vendor is in town on a non-festival day. If you take on multiple conquests, they will schedule the second for another day that a vendor is in town, possibly the day after your previous conquest.

For example: two fields opened up on Winter 22nd and I put in the notice to rent both them that day. They skipped the 23rd, I'm at a point where I have vendors every day so it was presumably to give me time to prepare. Winter 24th is a Festival day, so my conquests were scheduled for the 25th and 26th instead. :)

Hmm. I'm currently on summer 12, and I chose the shipping option but they said whoever earned the most money by summer 13 would win, but the vendors aren't in town today. So i'm really confused?

Go check your calendar, then. You'll have a vendor in tomorrow. The dates they give you are for the day your conquest happens, and that's the day you need to ship things. If they say Summer 13, then Summer 13 is the day you sell everything you own to a vendor, lol. c:

Or to test this, you can go save, go to bed, and then when you wake up you should get a notice at the bottom saying "Today is the day of my conquest!" or something.
Then you can reset and continue doing whatever you were doing on the 12th, lol.

Ohhh! Haha I get it! Thank you!! I thought that I had to somehow ship everything today. oops. XD
 
Couple questions;

How long will it take to get flower seeds in? I just rented the flower field and so I'm curious as to when I can start using it.

Second question; If I've shipped over 100,000 g will the cabin country vendor show up in the fall?

Cabin Country will show up any time after Summer 1. But I remember early on, it took days after I had met a goal for a vendor until they showed up - if you have other important cutscenes happening first thing in the morning, you won't meet the vendor immediately, and they won't show up in your depot yet.
If you've reached 100k and you haven't met her yet, just be patient. Veronica will bring her to your front door eventually, lol.


Flowers.. I got most of mine early on as appreciation rewards from vendor requests. You get the actual flowers, so you'll need the seed maker for those.

As for buying flower seeds, I know you get Winter Flowers - Snowdrop and Blue Rose - for shipping 50k and 100k to Cabin Country, respectively. Sakura Country has Pink Carnations (Fall) and Gentian (Winter) seeds, unlocked at 50k and 100k shipped to them, respectively.
Naturally, Rose Country sells flower seeds as well, and again, every 50k intervals or so you unlock a new flower seed from them. At least that what Fogu tells me. But I just got a whole bunch all at once this morning, Spring Year 2, so it seems they're locked behind reaching Year 2 as well as shipping quotas? Or they're all Spring specific flowers and they don't unlock until the following Spring? I dunno exactly, tbh. :v
 
Also, I unlocked cabin country before I started my second conquest. Can I ship to them and Silk Country? Or does it have to be just Silk Country?

Either/or. :)

You just need to ship x amount that day, any of the vendors in the plaza on that day will count.

I actually break them up, myself. After selling so many things in one category to one vendor, the price they'll buy it at goes down. So then I just move over to the next stall and continue selling my cloth or ores for as much as possible, lol.

hm. that's a good idea. also, thank you for putting up with some of my stupid questions. this game is so different than past hm games :p

Haha, don't worry about it! I was super nervous about the first Conquest, too. They really don't explain anything in-game, and when I googled for other people's results with their first conquests and everyone said their rivals sold like 50k worth of stuff, I was even more nervous. That was a lot for me back then, I was still trying to get used to all the other little mechanics, too, so my actual farm was practically barren.

I savescummed and hoarded Topazes from diving and all of my cooking and stuff for weeks, and when it finally happened, and the results came in... I was like 60k ahead of my rivals and I realized I didn't need to do any of that. lolol.

Soyes. First conquest is super nerve-racking, but I'm sure you'll find they're a lot easier than they sound. Especially once you get the option to go for "most items shipped." c:

Holy cow, that's quite a bit for rivals. I've done 2 conquests so far and I've won by like 10k each time. lol. i always manage to ship out around 30k. especially since I've got so many tomatoes growing. lol.

I won the flower field and the bee keeping field. And I'm hoping to get the tall crops field once it's available to rent.

Oh, it's not your first rodeo, haha. Then disregard that! But yeah, Topazes really put me ahead of the game. And my cooking level is fairly high, I think? I'm at the point where I've made 800 separate dishes now, and I believe max level is 3,000 separate dishes, so it's a few levels up, at least.

For that, I've been setting up all of my cooking for one evening and then watching my boyfriend play HM: Animal Parade while I just repeatedly tapped A. It doesn't count it as 99 cooked dishes when you stack 99 Flour together and make 99 Bread at once. That only counts as one dish. They must be made individually, and that sucks. :c


Alright, so it took a few days but Cabin Country finally visited to give me Suffolk Sheep, Alpacas, and Jersey Cows. I bought two of each and proceeded to spend hours to give them all super adorable names.

I have been waiting for these for daaaaays, so much anticipation. I got the notice that the color for my Spring/Summer Fashion Show is going to be yellow. Freaking yellow. The only color I wasn't prepared for. And the only thing I have that might be passable is the Yellow Halter Top... which required 2 Alpaca cloth, a yellow and a black. But that's almost finished now. c:
Also a little worried because all I have for yellow accessories are a Canary Yellow Ring and Canary Yellow Necklace. I can't make the earrings (golden pearl) and I don't have the clip-ons yet. No yellow hats, either. I did make a white beret and a pink mini-hat, but I don't think they'll care to see those? lol.


Oh. And with these new farm animals, I have a new question. How long will my Alpacas flee in terror from the dreaded treats of doom? How many hearts are they typically at before they stop acting like I'm going to murder them with the shears? It sounds horrible when they squeak and run away; I feel bad for poor little Cloud and Skye. :c
 
Is there a way to check when your conquest is? I forgot when mine was. ;A;

I wish there was. I couldn't even find a way for Veronica to repeat the exact terms on the day of my conquest. :c

The only thing I could suggest is saving and then going to bed several times until the day the notification pops up at the bottom of the screen, then reloading back to where you were. :v
 
^ Talk to Veronica @ the Guild Office during open hours and choose the first option (rent a field). Go to the one you're conquest is for and click Y and it will tell you when the conquest is.
