it's more of a reminder for myself, but anyway... flower dance
easiest: Shane (talk and give him pizza on 19th, 20th, 21th, 22th)
easy: Harvey, Sam, Leah (loved gifts sold at the saloon) talk everyday since day 1 and give loved gifts until 4 hearts (don't know for how long, never tried, too lazy to calculate)
also kinda easy: Haley (talk everyday give all the daffodils esp on a birthday)
easy, but need everyday work (parsnip seduction): Alex, Sebastian, Emily, Maru, Penny
need to go to the mines, so it's a bother: Abigail parsnip won't work, rain
pray to Yoba for good luck: Elliott
parsnip seduction
4 hearts worth 1000 friendship points
focus on one person
talk with the target every single day (except during special animation, like when Seb is smoking) 24 days 20 pts each = 480 pts
plant 15 parsnips on day 1, get the recipe for basic fertilizer after the first harvest. then plant no less than 20 parsnips with it. you should get at least 3 gold quality parsnips
give your target two gifts every week. in total, you must give 8 gifts: 5 normal quality and 3 gold quality parsnips (5 normal 45 pts each; 3 gold 56 pts each. this is 393 pts. plus 10 pts every sunday for gifting 2 gifts last week, so it's an additional 30 pts)
complete the introduction quest 100 pts
so you get a total of 1003 points, which is enough for a dance. but each step is necessary cos it's the bare minimum
notes
if you didn't know, every day you don't talk to a villager will result in the loss of 2 friendship points
Maru loves cauliflower, so it would be a better gift than gold parsnips
Abigail stays at home during rainy days, and if it's on wednesday, you'll have to go to the mines (ugh) to get amethysts, and she dislikes all vegetables
Elliott... dunno where to start. it's pure luck, cos you can't talk to him when it's raining. I love fishing and I spend all my first week by the ocean. usually I reach lvl 3 in fishing on the third day of spring and buy crab pots on spring 4th. I usually have at least 9 crab pots by the seventh of spring and sometimes that's enough to catch lobsters in time. a lot of praying. it really helps to speak only to him in order to get a bulletin request.
Sebastian, loml, I get at least 8 good quality flounders in the first week, so no parsnip nessesary (but I do spend all my time by the ocean except when I run to talk to him). also if you tell him that you like reading comics in one of his dialogues you'll gain an additional 30 pts.
I guess you should still talk to Haley everyday and give her all the daffodils, since her loved gifts are kinda hard to get at the beginning but birthday helps like a lot
Haley, Abigail and Sam dislike parsnips. (and it will definitely rain, so Elliott will stay at home. this means parsnips will be good for everyone, except those four)
for me, it's easier to complete the introduction quest at the egg festival (talk to Pierre later) and before that I only met the bachelor(ette) for the bulletin requests
also check saloon everyday for dish of the day
and a travelling cart on friday and sunday
I'm sure there are easier ways to get it done, but this is what fits my gaming style (fishing, talking and no mining). treasure chests also provide a lot of useful items that make everything way easier
also english isn't my first language, I just wanted to practice. sorry for the mistakes
