GUIDE: TIPS and TRICKS
Beginner Tips
on
Halcyon Days at Taoyuan
- You can easily increase your forestry by spam-picking the dandelions at the Lis. I did this before I finished the first quest.
- Turn off the minigames from settings if you find it annoying.
- Every time you level up ANY skill, your health and stamina will reset. So make sure to watch your experience and use this for utilizing unlimited health and stamina as you can.
- Talk to Wan Huan for additional side quests (rumor chosen)!
- Use your shovel to dig holes on the beach. Easiest loot ever!
- Dont forget to pick fruits from the trees. Look carefully at the trees all over Taoyuan village! (for example, peach at crossroad, also coconut at the beach)
- ALWAYS CONTRIBUTE! The box to contribute is located near the chess stone. You will get contribution voucher which is the 'currency' of the game.
- Don't forget to DASH! It's not much of speed, but at least you reach your destination a bit faster.
- This game doesn't have any currency. You trade, so make sure to value your item before trading.
- The mine has boss after the hero statue.
- Hate the sun? Hate withered crops? RESTART THE GAME UNTIL YOU GET THE RAIN OR FIELD FULL OF HEALTHY CROPS! π
- Use special fish, pearl clam to reveal the treasures inside! (all kind of treasure item)
- Process your animal food by borrowing the animal food processor behind Yue Hongdi's tea gazebo for free.
- Tame animals as soon as possible, because owning animals will grant you status.
