Accessories


One of the new features introduced to the series in harvest moon DS are the accessories that you can find throughout the game.  Accessories allow you to extend the limits on your fatigue and stamina as well as recover them.  They also provide you with more information about hidden aspects of the game and allow you to perform several other activities.  Accessories are can be bought from Van, the medal shop, and the jet sprite shop in the tree. A set of cursed is also available in on several floors of the third mine.  These accessories begin cursed and require a blessing for 100,000g from the church before you can equip them and use them to your full potential.  The process for obtaining them and removing the curse is the same as it is for the cursed tools. See the mining section for a list of floors where you can find them and the strategies necessary to uncurse them.  This section includes all the accessories that my bothers and I have found so far and what they should do.  Listed below are each of the accessories, their uses and where to find them.

Note: Third mine means the accessory is cursed and you need to dig it up in the third mine as outlined in the mining section.  Some of the accessories mention a black version of the item you are looking for.  You will find the black version in the mine that is cursed.  Be careful not to equip it or you will have to contact the church to remove it.  Once you have them blessed, they will take their final useful form and function normally.

Necklaces:
These necklaces when equipped allow you to use the stylis to use your tools anywhere on the map.  To use one, equip the tool you want to use and touch the place you want to use it on the map.  The upper level necklaces allow you to charge the tools to higher levels.  The basic purpose of these accessories is to allow you to use the tools indoors to accomplish work while not having time pass.  Each use of the tool will deplete the normal amount of stamina and fatigue and an additional 2 points of fatigue each time you use them.  You still need to have the appropriate level tools in order to use them with the necklaces.  All of them are bought from the Jet at his store.  More of them will become available as you upgrade the level of all of your tools .  You begin the game with the iron tool level on for free. You can also find some of the necklaces randomly at the dig site for free. The prices of the rest are listed below.

Friends ship broaches:
The friend ship broaches will allow you to increase the friendship values of everyone in town if you equip them before going to bed.  The blue one may increase your friendship score on the towns people randomly by 1 point.  It doesn't do everyone.  The green level seems to get every one to increase by 1 point and some of them 2.  The red level will increase everyone's friendship rating by 2 if you equip it before you go to bed.  You can buy the green and blue versions from the Jet shop.  You need to buy the green before the blue will appear.  The red one is obtained by finding the black one in the mine and having it uncursed.  Be careful, equipping the black one will lower everyone's friendship ratings.  Note, the broaches will affect a person's friendship score, not their affection rating.  You still need to give gifts to girls to increase their affection towards you for marriage.

The Goddess and Kappa Broaches:
These accessories are the key to increasing the limits on your stamina and fatigue.  The goddess items work for stamina and the kappa work for fatigue.  Each one will increase the maximum amount of their respective stats by a fixed amount.  If you go to bed with them on, you can recover up to that amount.  The blue levels in increase your limit by 100 points, the green by 230 points and the red by 500 points.  The green and blue levels can be purchased at Van's shop and the red need to be excavated from the third mine.  Be careful when using these items, because if you unequipped them you will lose any extra stamina or fatigue you have and you can pass out.  Also, make sure not to equip their black versions in the third mine, because they will lower your maximum quite a bit.  Their prices are listed below

The Goddess and Kappa Earrings:
These items allow you to actually recover your stamina and fatigue points when they are equipped and you are moving around outside.  Again, the goddess earrings affect stamina and the kappa earrings affect fatigue. The rate of recovery depends on the color of the earrings.  Red is the slowest, blue the second fastest, and green is the fastest.  The red and blue ones can be purchased from the jet shop in the tree.  You need to buy the red before the blue will appear.  You can find the green level ones in the third mine.  Be careful not to equip their black cursed version because they will deplete your stamina or fatigue quickly and you will pass out very easily.  You need one point of stamina left for the goddess earrings to work. The prices are listed below.

Goddess and Kappa Hats:
These hats will reduce the amount of stamina and fatigue you use when you use tools.  They are very helpful when trying to conserve your strength.  The goddess hats lessen stamina loss and the kappa hats lessen fatigue loss. The level of prevention depends on the color.  The red will decrease the loss a little, the blue will do better, and the green do the best.  You can buy the red and blue versions from Van and the green versions are found in the third mine.  If you equip the black equivalents from the mine, they will increase the cost of using tools and you will need to contact the church to bless or remove them.  The costs are listed below.

Pedometer:
Thomas gives you the pedometer for free when you start the game.  If you carry it in your runk sack, it will count the number of steps you take.  Like in mineral town, Guts and the harvest goddess will pop up and let you know where you are an major mile marks like 10,000, 100,000, ect.  I haven't found any rewards for it yet, but keeping it with you might be a good idea.
Time Ring:
The time ring is found in the third mine.  Once you have it blessed and equip it, it will cause time to pass outside at half the normal rate.  It's cursed counter part will cause time to pass twice as fast.  It costs 100,000g to have the curse removed.
Speed Boots:
The speed boots are located in the third mine as well.  When you equip them, they allow your character to run twice as fast when you hold down the B button.  They can save you travel time and work time.  However, the teleport stone or the horse are better travel options.  Their cursed counter parts will disable your ability to run when they are equipped.  It costs 10,000g to remove the curse.
Touch panel Gloves:
You can buy these from either the chicken farm or yodel ranch for 1,000g. When they are equipped and combined with other tools, they allow you to interact more intimately with your animals.  You can find the information about using them in the tools and animals section.  The are needed to unlock several of the animal harvest sprites. 

The remaining items listed here are found from Roller's shop at the casino.  You can exchange medals directly for them.  You can win the medals from the casino game or buy them for 10g each.  If you want to know the price in gold for an item listed here, tack on an extra zero and that will give you your price in gold.  For example, the teleport stone costs 1000 medals, so it would cost 10000g.  For more information on medals and the casino games as well as strategies.  See the harvest sprite section. 

Teleport stone:
This items is available from the casino shop for 1,000 medals.  It allows you to transport yourself anywhere on the map touching where you want to go with the stylis.  You can only use it outside.  Each use of the item will add two points of fatigue to your total.  This item is the most convent way to travel and will save you a ton of walking time.  Buy it as soon as you can.
Truth Bangle:
You can buy this from the casino shop for 2,000 medals.  When you equip it will print out your current stamina and fatigue in the left lower corner of the screen.   This item is useful for monitoring your strength while you work, epically in the mine. You should get it as soon as possible.
Love Bangle:
This item is available at the casino for 5,000 medals. When you equip it, you will be able to see the friendship and affection ratings of the towns people when you talk to them. If can be useful for monitoring your progress in making friends and truing to get married.
The Red Animal Cape:
This item is available from the casino for 65,535 medals.  The price seems odd, but it is 216 - 1 which is the longest integer you can store using two bites of memory.  Just like 255 is 28 - 1 which is the largest integer you can store with one bite of memory.  That's why these numbers show up so frequently in video games with limited memory.  Anyway  the cape allows you to use the stylis to mover your animals around on the map on the touch screen when it is equipped.  You will gain two points of fatigue when you use it.
The God Hand:
You can buy this item for 100,000,000 medals at the casino.  It becomes available after you buy the red cape.  It allows you to use the map to harvest your crops using the stylis.  You just need to touch them on the screen to ship them.  You will gain two fatigue points each time you use it.
The Miracle Gloves:
You can also buy them for 100,000,000 medals from the casino.  Supposedly, they work like the miracle gloves from harvest moon 3.  If you throw a crop with them equipped, it will be transported directly to your shipping bin. Using them will gain you two points of fatigue.
Well, that's about it for what I know about in the game for accessories.  I think this is most of them but their could be more.  If you know of something that I don't have here feel free to email me about it.  I haven't gotten the last god hand for miracle gloves yet, but I can guess about their uses from the stores description of them and their uses in previous games.
