Song Of The Prairie – Useful Tips for New Players

Gameplay Tips and Tricks

• Raid Du’s orchard every few days and shake all the trees. The fruits sell for good money.
• You can get gold/silver fruit from trees you’ve planted yourself or from the shelf to the right of the house at the orchard (stealing)
• At the end of the season chop down the fruit trees in Du’s orchard and in Back Hill and use a shovel on the stump to get saplings. (This only works on trees you haven’t planted yourself.)
• In Abby’s inner world touching her glove will give you +30FP
• JiYue sells rice every day for 1 gold
• You can destroy the flower garden without any penalties as long as Amy isn’t there
• There are ancient coins inside the cauldrons, break them. They can be exchanged at Jin’s shop
• Jin has an exchange shop on the weekends. He either asks for goddess’ bands or ancient coins and offers gemstones and rare woods.
• In Kroc’s inner world at the bottom right there’s a spot you can Check. Do it twice and you’ll get an ore or, more rarely, a gem.
• In Poer’s inner world to the left there’s a pile of stuff. Check it and you’ll get some kind of lumber or a stone.
• If you need leaves you can wreck the front yard of the church and the backyard of the hospital and no one will mind
• The amount of stamina lost when using a tool is proportional to the amount of targets you hit. For example, harvesting two flowers with the scythe will consume 2x the stamina
• The jars in the hospital (the ones behind Huan and the ones behind Liv) have health potions in them. Use the axe for maximum efficiency
• These are the penalties for stealing: / Lori: -5HP / Becky: -10HP / Rhode: -500 gold / Du: -10 FP
• You can reel in a fish as soon as it bites. You don’t have to wait for the prompt.
• Using a tool beyond your skill level will consume more stamina.
• You only need one collection box for your whole farm.

If there’s a thunderstorm while your sheep have their wool grown out they will become electrified and you’ll get thunder wool upon shearing them. You may want to keep sheep outside a NPC helper’s range if you need thunder wool, as they’ll shear them as soon as their wool grows.

In the mines you can yeet yourself off the platforms to reach the next floor at the cost of 30hp. You’ll be transported outside the mines at 23:00. There’s no penalty for it. Portal nodes tend to be medium size and be more towards the center of the platform. If you see a bunch of logs horizontally stacked into a pyramid, chop them. It’ll give you tons of lumber.

You can go to Maud’s weekend store to exchange items for lower-level counterparts (for example, 1 large milk -> 1 small milk). Useful for quests.

Trees you cut down that are not in your farm will regrow (need to test if Du’s regrow too). Chop away.

The premium tier mystery boxes Rhode sells contain diamonds and outfits. Each box is about 10000 and diamonds sell for 20000.

There are periodic sales where all shops will have a 20% discount (2nd of each season?).

I got bad luck at the flower station and a mysterious lily dropped. Needs looking into.

The maximum amount of fruit/flowers that can drop from a tree is 6. The amount is related to how much time has passed since you last harvested it.

If you are going to cook the same dish many times and it’s not with the standard recipe you’ll need to manually select the ingredients every time. To make it less cumbersome, open the inventory and grab the needed items to the beginning, since after each dish is complete the inventory list goes back to the start.
