Some Energy Recovery Values in Hero of Leaf Valley

In the early stages of any Harvest Moon game, restoring your Character's Energy Levels usually is a problem.

In Hero of Leaf Valley, your Character can do fairly well in terms of tilling his field, watering his Crops and caring for his Chickens even at the outset. Most of the Part-Time Jobs are not that taxing. The exception, however, is Woody's Part-Time Work in the Forest.

You will find that your Energy Bar can empty quickly when you are chopping down Trees for Woody or working for Rudolph in the Mine.

If you wish to be able to continue to operate during the remainder of the day, you will be forced to replenish your Stamina.

Incidentally, a reader shared a little tip: During the period before you unlock the Mine, you can restore your Energy Bar completely if you tell Rudolph that you do not know how to mine. It means that you will have to go through the entire Tutorial again, but if your Energy levels are low when you enter the Mine, it will restore them, allowing you to perform your task for him afterwards.

Here are basic values for some of the items you can obtain at the start of the game. SR stands for Stamina Recovery and FR for Fatigue Resistance. All of this information is included in my Hero of Leaf Valley General Guide/Walkthrough.

Woody will give you a hint about this if you give him a Red Herb:

Woody for Red Herb: Oh, thanks. This is good for when you're tired.

As in many Harvest Moon games, you will find that the local Restaurants provide a fairly decent sources of Energy Recovery Items until you can afford to buy your own Kitchen.
In Hero, the two local Restaurants are to be found in a single location. The Café is open from noon to 5.00 p.m. and the Pub opens at 6.00 p.m. and stays open until Midnight.
Each has its own Menu but all items sold must be consumed immediately on the premises.
Daytime Menu at the Cafe:
Tea: 150G
This delicious tea will really relax you.
Herb Tea: 200G
It’s a soothing herbal tea. It will relieve a little weariness you might be feeling.
Energy Value: +0 SR +5 FR
Milk Tea: 200G
This milk tea full of fresh milk.
Cookie: 250G
A yummy, crunchy, homemade cookie.
Energy Value: +20 SR +0 FR
Muffin: 250G
This is a mildly sweet muffin. Comes with Very Berry Jam!
Energy Value: +20 SR +0 FR
Cake: 300G

Energy Value: +32 SR +0 FR
Pancake: 300G

Energy Value: +30 SR +0 FR
Cheesecake: 350G

Pub Menu:

Assorted Cheese: 500G
Energy Value: +32 SR +0 FR
Fish Meal: 500G
Energy Value: +20 SR +0 FR
Traditionally, drinks that operate to restore Fatigue Resistance are sold at night and items rich in Stamina Recovery are sold during the Day. If you find yourself in a positionn where you need lots of Stamina Recovery after 6.00 p.m. when only the Pub is open, your best choice would be the Assorted Cheese which will give you +32 SR.

Energy Resources from Ronald

Items sold at Ronald’s Grocery have fairly good Energy Recovery Values and, unlike the items sold at the local Restaurants, you will be able to take them off the premises to use when needed.
Rice Ball: 120G
Energy Value: +12 SR + 0 FR
Fluffy Bread: 150G
Energy Value: +10 SR +0 FR
Miso: 200G
Energy Value: +20 SR +0 FR
Honey: 200G
Energy Value: +22 SR +0 FR
As you can see, the most effective Energy Recovery Item sold by Ronald is Honey, which restores more Stamina than most of the items sold at the local Restaurants as well as being less expensive.

For all Harvest Moon fans and players

As Freyashawk, I have written about 150 guides for games, most of which have been guides for Harvest Moon games. These are published on IGN. IGN has given me the title of 'Mistress of Harvest Moon' and I strive daily to earn the right to maintain that title. Although there is a link page on IGN that lists all the guides published there, they are not organised by game, but rather given in alphabetical order. I therefore created this page in order to provide links to the guides I have created for each Harvest Moon game. If you access the General Guide for any game, links should be included to all other guides for that game in a section at the end. I will try to add links to ALL guides as time permits, but until I do, you always can refer to my user page at IGN for the complete list.

I wrote the Official Strategy Guide for Tree of Tranquility for BradyGames as well.
Harvest Moon Forever!

How to Use my Guides

I write three different basic types of game guides. I usually write a General Guide for every game, which is fairly comprehensive and deals with all aspects of the game. It may or may not be in the form of a Walkthrough, dealing with game aspects as they occur. My Innocent Life General Guide is an example of a General Guide that is organised as a Walkthrough.

After writing a General Comprehensive Guide, I often write a Calendar Guide giving birthday and festival dates, with additional information that may be helpful, such as favourite gifts for each individual. For all Harvest Moon games, I usually write a number of 'mini-guides', such as Events Guides for each year of gameplay, or Recipe Guides that give all recipes one can make. Fishing, Mining, Shipping or Item Value Guides are other mini-guides that can be very useful when playing Harvest Moon. Character Guides give detailed information about every character in any specific game. My Courtship and Marriage Guide is devoted to all aspects of Courtship and Marriage, including schedules of Heart Events, Rival Heart Events and the likes and dislikes of every Eligible Girl and/or Bachelor.

Although this site is devoted to Harvest Moon, I have included links to game guides for other games. I created a separate link section for Animal Crossing Wild World as well, because I wrote more than one guide for that game.

N.B. All my game guides are published by IGN. This webpage has been created simply to allow players to find links to all my guides more easily.

Copyright Infringement Warning

It is really sad to discover that there are individuals who are willing to steal my guides and to attempt to publish them under their names. Fortunately, there are many players who recognise my guides when they see them anywhere on the internet and who are willing to alert me when some one tries to steal my material. I want to thank all those players for their help in these cases.

Some one stole one of my guides and tried to publish it on Gamefaqs under his/her name. The guide has been removed and the poster has been banned. I now have a contact in the Legal Department at CNet. I spend many months sometimes writing a guide. They are available for the private use of any individual without cost, but they are not available for theft!
If you want permission to include a link to one of my guides on your site, please contact me directly.

Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town

You will notice that I wrote far more guides for More Friends of Mineral Town than I did for the original 'Friends of Mineral Town'. At some point, I would like to publish more specific Events Guides for Friends of Mineral Town, but players should be aware of the fact that ALL Calendar Events Guides for MFoMT can be used when playing the original FoMT. The Events are the same in most cases in both games. If, therefore, you are playing FoMT and you wish to know the events that can be experienced in the third year of gameplay, refer to the 'Third Year Calendar Events Guide' for 'More Friends of Mineral Town'.
