    Complete Crop List & Sell Prices for Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

    In Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, managing your farm involves planting and caring for various crops across different seasons. These crops are not only a key source of income but also serve as ingredients for recipes and various uses around your farm.

    What crops are available, and how do you find them?
    Crops are categorized by seasons, so planning ahead is essential. Save your gold to buy high-quality seeds, and you’ll want to know what you can grow each season.

    How to Grow Crops
    To plant crops, start by using your hoe from the toolbar to till the soil. Select the seed bag of your choice and plant the seeds in each plot. Water your crops daily—once in the morning and once at night—to help them grow faster. When the crops are ready, interact with them to harvest. Some crops, like trees and tomatoes, will regrow every few days during their optimal season, allowing multiple harvests in a month.

    Pro tip: Jumping or double jumping can extend your range when tilling, sowing, watering, and harvesting!

    Every crop needs basic care, but the difference is that crops take up a single plot, whereas a tree occupies nine plots. You can dig up trees and store them to replant when the season changes.
    All crops have a rare variant, slightly different in appearance and generally worth more. These variants can be sold at market for a better profit but function the same as the regular versions, so using them in recipes isn’t necessary.

    Shelf Life and Crop Management
    Crop freshness is limited. Once harvested, crops begin to decay, so aim to use or sell them before they rot. Upgrading tools like your hoe, watering can, and sickle can save you time and energy every day. You can buy better techniques from Felix at the bazaar to speed up your farming process as your farm expands.

    Increasing Crop Quality
    To boost the star quality of your crops, regularly use fertilizer on your plants. Fertilizer can be crafted at windmills using weeds or rotten crops—materials that are easy to gather.
    Additional tip: Donate forageables to the Nature Sprites to improve fertilizer quality.
    You can also upgrade your soil at the bazaar, ensuring consistently higher crop quality without extra fertilizer, though fertilizer still helps.
    High-quality crops can be taken to the blue windmill to convert into seeds of the same quality—useful for saving seeds for future seasons or planting more.

    Expanding Your Farm
    If you want to grow more, Wilbur at the bazaar can expand your fields. You can add two more fields on your farm and another one in your cellar, functioning as a greenhouse. Each field provides 54 plots, letting you grow over 200 crops at once when fully optimized.

  • Completing All Bugs and Critters in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

    Completing All Bugs and Critters in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

    Throughout Zephyr Town, bugs and small creatures can be seen crawling in the grass and climbing trees. In Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you have a unique chance to catch these critters and sell them at your market stall every weekend, as long as you gather enough supply to meet customer demand.

    We’ll guide you on how to find every bug in Zephyr Town and other critters hiding in the mountains. From common bugs to rare specimens, catching these requires patience and practice. Here’s everything you need to start building your collection!

    ### How to Catch Bugs and Critters

    Bugs and critters are often tricky to catch, and there’s no specific tool for catching bugs. Instead, you’ll use your hands. To approach a bug, walk slowly towards it and use the interaction button to grab it. Flying insects are more challenging; you’ll need to jump and time your catch perfectly. With practice, you’ll learn how to judge their distance and depth. Once caught, bugs will appear in small crates in your inventory.

    You can give these bugs as gifts to residents of Zephyr Town, but most will not appreciate receiving them. The better option is to sell them at the weekly market, earning extra money. Selling bugs helps boost your income and gives you useful items while restocking between market days.

    ### All Bugs and Critters

    Below is a list of bugs and critters you can find in the game, including their typical location, season, weather/time, and selling price:

  • How to Romance Diana in SoS: Complete & Solve Grand Bazaar

    How to Romance Diana in SoS: Complete & Solve Grand Bazaar

    Diana plays a key role in rebuilding Zephyr Town’s marketplace in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. Although the task is big and challenging, seeing the Saturday market thrive makes it all worthwhile. She comes from the city to help oversee the growth and support the town as the bazaar develops.

    Diana is a compassionate and friendly woman, but her job often involves delivering tough news. Building a friendship with her will help you understand her better and expand your experience in Zephyr Town. Here’s what you need to know about befriending her and possibly marrying her.

    Diana Overview and Schedule

    Birthday Autumn 22
    Likes Sweets, Red
    Dislikes Greasy foods

    Diana is busy as she arrives when you advance through the main story and upgrade the bazaar. Her brother Harold is with her, helping out and supporting her. She’s often seen working around the bazaar or taking notes around town. She lives in the house directly up the stairs at the center of town on the east side. You’ll mostly find her there early mornings before she leaves for work or in the evenings when she comes back. Otherwise, she’s usually in the bazaar area.

    When the weather’s bad, she’s more likely to stay home.

    Best Gifts for Diana

    Diana loves sweet treats, especially fruit-based ones like apple dishes. Cookies, pie, and ice cream are also favorites. Many of these can be bought from the town’s cafe or made at home if you have the ingredients.

    Avoid giving her greasy or buttery foods, as she doesn’t like those. You can give her a gift each day, and improve your relationship by talking to her and participating in seasonal festivals. To get the most points, wrap her gifts with red paper, which is her favorite color. Using red wrapping will earn you bonus points and help you reach higher friendship levels sooner.

    Diana Heart Events and Requests

    As your friendship with Diana grows, you’ll unlock different heart events and requests. Your choices won’t heavily influence your ability to romance her, but they can speed up your relationship progress.

    You should also befriend Harold by chatting and giving him gifts, as this will help trigger key heart events with Diana, too.

    Note: If there’s a lock over Diana’s heart meter, it means you need to complete her current request before earning more points.

    White Heart Event

    When: Between 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM on a Wednesday or Friday
    Where: In the bazaar area, where you’ll see her walking around

    In this event, Diana discusses the bazaar with Harold and Felix. They mention a clerical error Felix made and talk about the future. Later, Diana discusses her hopes for the bazaar and asks if you’ll do your best to help. You should respond with “Of course!” to show your support.

    Board Report Request

    After the first heart event, Diana will ask you to gather animal byproducts like milk and eggs from your ranch for her records. You don’t have to hand these directly to her; she just wants to record the collection.

    Blue Heart Event

    When: Between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM on a Thursday or Friday
    Where: Harold and Diana’s house in Zephyr Town

    Harold will talk about his sister, then Diana appears and explains her determination to help the bazaar. She seems a little nervous. When given a chance, ask if she needs help — she’ll decline but will appreciate the gesture.

    First-Class Curry Request

    Diana asks for your help making her brother a delicious curry. You need to bring her a root vegetable of at least two stars from your farm. In exchange, she’ll give you the recipe for Vegetable Curry.

    Root veggies include potatoes (grown in spring), onions (spring and summer), and carrots (fall).

    Green Heart Event

    When: Tuesday or Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
    Where: In the town square

    Diana seems to need a break from her work. Compliment her or ask if she should take a rest — she’s hard to relax but appreciates the concern.

    Feed A Fever Request

    Diana isn’t feeling well again. She asks for a three-star bowl of Egg Drop Soup, which only needs eggs. Make sure to have good relations with your chickens and prepare the soup to help her recover. This will unlock more heart events.

    Yellow Heart Event

    When: Wednesday or Friday, between 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM
    Where: At the bazaar grounds (use your map to locate her)

    To trigger this event, you need to have upgraded the bazaar to level five or higher and seen the ‘Being a Good Role Model’ event with the townspeople. During the event, you can confess your feelings or simply tell her you value your friendship. Either way, your relationship with her will advance.

    Note: You can romance her and other characters regardless of your choice here.

  • How to Romance Samir by Completing and Solving in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

    How to Romance Samir by Completing and Solving in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

    Getting to know your neighbors in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar takes time, and not everyone will arrive in Zephyr Town immediately. Some characters, like the mysterious Samir, only show up after you’ve made certain progress milestones in the town, such as reaching a specific bazaar rank. Samir is a kind and reserved person, but you can get to know him better to form a friendship or even a romantic connection.

    This guide will help you find out where to meet Amir, how to earn his trust through gifts and conversations, and how to start a romance with this intriguing man in Zephyr Town.

    Samir Overview And Schedule

    Samir is one of the last characters to arrive in the game. You will meet him when your bazaar reaches rank four. At that point, he’ll appear outside your house alongside Arata and Mayor Felix. Through these interactions, you’ll learn more about Arata and Samir’s relationship and see how they get along.

    Since Samir’s birthday falls in winter (December 26), there’s no rush to unlock him if you want to save time. When he arrives, he prefers simple, homemade meals like eggs and rice, making it easy to please him. His favorite color is yellow, matching the sash he wears, and he generally keeps to himself.

    Samir usually stays in his room most of the day. To find him, visit the Sunnywood Hotel in Zephyr Town. Head upstairs and enter the first room on the left on the second floor—this is his room at the hotel, where you’ll find him working at his desk. On weekends, Samir might be out visiting the bazaar instead.

    Key Details:

    • Birthday: Winter 26
    • Likes: Home cooking, yellow
    • Dislikes: Fancy meals

    Best Gifts For Samir

    Samir loves simple items that remind him of home. Avoid giving him elaborate or fancy dishes. Instead, keep gifts basic, such as eggs and rice, to build affection. Madeleine sells cooked rice at her cafe for 125G, and there’s unlimited stock available.

    You can give Samir one gift daily, which helps increase his friendship level. Participating in festivals is also beneficial since these gatherings provide a relationship boost with everyone attending.

    If you get Samir to arrive early in the summer, he can attend events like the horse derby. Wrapping gifts in yellow paper, his favorite color, will give you extra relationship points and speed up your progress.

    Samir’s Heart Events And Requests

    As you give gifts and converse daily, you’ll unlock special heart events and requests. Completing these will deepen your bond with Samir and help him settle into Zephyr Town.

    Note: If a lock appears on his heart meter, you must complete his current request before earning additional points.

    White Heart Event

    • When: Between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Tuesday or Wednesday
    • Where: In Samir’s hotel room, second floor of Sunnywood Hotel, first door on the left
    • During this event, you’ll find Samir confused as to why you’re visiting. Tell him you want to hang out, and he’ll remember your introduction. He’ll tell you that you can visit anytime you like.

    Requests

    Cat-Checking Request

    • When you reach the first heart lock, Samir will ask you to find a nearby cat he can’t locate. Leave the hotel and head up the secret path behind the hotel to find a brown cat in the clearing. If you reach the town square or bazaar, you’re too far; turn back and check behind the hotel.

    Grasshopper Collection

    • Samir wants to see ten grasshoppers up close, which you can find on the farm year-round. Catch them and bring them to him for a reward and to unlock more hearts.

    Green Heart Event

    • When: Between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday or Thursday, with good weather
    • Where: Outside your farm
    • This event requires you to have made progress with Arata and seen his house scene. When triggered, talk to Samir to continue building your relationship.

    Eggs Request

    • Samir asks for five eggs (chicken or silkie). Bring these to him to unlock the next level of friendship.

    Yellow Heart Event

    • When: Between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, on a Monday or Thursday with good weather
    • Where: Outside your farm
    • To trigger this event, you need to have advanced with Arata and seen the All Mighty scene, which allows you to confess feelings or choose to remain friends. Remember, you can pursue romance or keep things platonic—it’s up to you.

    For all gift-giving, wrapping gifts in yellow paper (using the bazaar on weekends) will increase your relationship points faster, especially since yellow is his favorite color.

    Samir’s Heart Events and Requests

    As your friendship deepens, you’ll unlock various heart events and quests. Each offers a chance to get closer. Complete these to help Samir feel more at home and possibly start a romantic relationship.

    Important note:

    If Samir’s heart meter is locked, it means you need to finish his current request first. Progressing through these events generally involves giving gifts, participating in festivals, and engaging in specific story scenes.

    Key Heart Events:

    Blue Heart Event

    • When: Between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday or Thursday
    • Where: Sunnywood Hotel, second floor, first door on the left
    • When you approach Samir in his room, choose the dialogue option “I got this!” for extra points.

    Requests:

    • Cat Location: Find the stray cat behind the hotel.
    • Bug Catching: Catch ten grasshoppers on the farm and give them to Samir.
    • Egg Collection: Bring five eggs (chicken or silkie) to him.
    • All Mighty Event: Progress with Arata to unlock the scene and a chance to confess your feelings to Samir.

    Higher-Level Events:

    • As your friendship level develops, more events will open, allowing for deeper interactions and potential romance options. Just keep giving gifts, participating in festivals, and engaging in conversations to see where your relationship with Samir can go.
  • Complete Power Berry Locations in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    Complete Power Berry Locations in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    When helping the people of Zephyr Town restore their once-popular marketplace, you’ll find there’s more to do than just sell goods on the weekends. In Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you’ll need to handle almost every task if you want to truly make a difference. It also requires a good deal of stamina to get everything done.

    Power Berries are rare items that help make your work easier, but they are hard to come by. We’ll explain the best places to find them and why collecting as many as possible is beneficial. Here’s everything you need to know about Power Berries!

    What Are Power Berries?

    Power Berries are special fruits that can increase your maximum stamina. Since they’re scarce in Zephyr Town, finding one can be a challenge. However, it’s worth the effort because having a higher stamina limit allows you to do more during the day and reduces how often you need to eat cooked meals.

    Instead of constantly stocking up on food or taking multiple baths to regain energy, you can increase your stamina at the start of each day. When you find a Power Berry, you can eat it to extend your stamina bar. If you’re already out of energy, eating a Power Berry will fully restore your stamina, so you don’t need to use it right away.

    Power Berry Locations

    There are only a few Power Berries available in the game, and most won’t be accessible until you progress further in the story. The earliest ways to obtain a Power Berry involve planting a full field of a single crop or visiting the Nature Sprites’ Happy Shoppe at the Bazaar.

    Here are some methods to get a Power Berry that will fully increase your stamina:

    How to Get a Power Berry
    Till farmland on your property with a hoe for a chance to randomly find a Power Berry.
    Spend 15,000 Happy Energy in the Happy Shoppe at the Bazaar.
    Use 30 recycled materials at the Treasureland Bazaar Stall.
    Grow a single crop in every plot of a large field to earn the Specialist Farmer Title.
    Reach year two in the game to earn the Prospective Farmer Title.

    Collecting Power Berries can significantly improve your gameplay by boosting your stamina, making it easier to complete daily tasks and enjoy more flexibility in your farming activities.

    • Maple Heart Events and Requests

    A new chapter begins for you in Zephyr Town in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. You’re the one who can turn this small town with its busy marketplace into a lively hub of activity. During your stay, you’ll meet new friends and might even find a surprising romance.

    Characters like Maple, who has big dreams and a kind heart, can help you build a happy life here. She’s the maid at the Sunnywood Hotel, a little clumsy but determined. Here’s what you need to know if you want to start a special relationship with her.

    Maple Overview and Schedule


    Maple talks about loving Zephyr Town from the hotel lobby.

    Attribute Details
    Birthday Autumn 4
    Likes Sweets, Red
    Dislikes Spicy foods

    Maple is a gentle girl who loves sweets like cookies and pancakes. She works hard at the inn, cleaning floors and keeping everything tidy. You can often see her busy in the hallways. On Wednesdays, she goes to visit her family in the city, so she’s unavailable until later in the evening.

    At night, Maple goes to her room at the hotel, located on the first floor to the right. You can talk to her there, either at her desk or in the sitting area if she’s still awake. During the day, you might find her outside sweeping and tidying up. Be sure to give gifts or chat with her before 10 p.m., because after that, the inn’s doors will close for the night.

    Maple prefers simple, sweet foods, especially cookies and pancakes, which you can buy or make yourself. She also likes most flowers and sweet drinks like honey and strawberry flavor. However, bugs and weeds are off-limits since she can’t stand them. Visit her daily, give her thoughtful gifts, and build her friendship faster.

    Maple Heart Events and Requests

    Developing your relationship will unlock special events. Each time you see a heart icon filling up, you’ll get closer to unlocking deeper stories. Before you can unlock higher levels, you need to complete her requests, which range from baking desserts to helping her with her chores.

    Note: Befriend Sonia and Stuart at the hotel too, since they’re friends of Maple’s and will influence her affection as well. You can chat with them casually while visiting Maple.

    Maple’s White Heart Event

    • When: Any daytime
    • Where: Inside the Sunnywood Hotel lobby

    After meeting Maple, you can find her at work, sharing more about herself and her love for Zephyr Town. Telling her you think Zephyr is a wonderful place will earn you extra points.

    Flowering Beauty Request

    Maple wants to decorate the hotel with flowers but can’t decide which to pick. She asks if you can bring her 10 flowers suitable for decorating. You’ll need to grow flowers by purchasing seeds from Miguel, then harvest and bring them to her.

    Maple’s Blue Heart Event

    • When: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday
    • Where: Inside the hotel

    To trigger this, you need to have a relationship level of about one heart with Sonia and Stuart. During the event, Stuart praises Maple, making her feel proud. She might get overwhelmed while working, and you’ll want to check on her and ask if she’s okay to deepen your bond.

    Well-Used Watering Can Request

    Maple asks you to water 30 of your crops with your watering can. Do this to show your support and complete the quest.

    Maple’s Green Heart Event

    • When: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday
    • Where: Hotel lobby

    In this event, Maple feels ashamed after a mistake she made. She considers leaving Zephyr Town, but you should encourage her to follow her heart. Telling her to do what she loves will help strengthen your relationship.

    Maple’s Green Heart Request

    Maple needs three high-quality desserts (three stars or higher). Prepare and bring these to her to progress in your relationship.

    Maple’s Yellow Heart Event

    • When: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday
    • Where: Hotel lobby

    Here, you can confess your feelings to Maple or simply show friendship. It’s a good chance to express your true intentions without pressure.

    Developing Your Relationship

    As your bond with Maple grows, more events will unlock, revealing new stories. Completing her requests helps remove locks on her heart, allowing you to move to higher levels. Remember, because She lives at the hotel with Sonia and Stuart, befriending them will also help increase her affection.

    Keep talking to her, giving thoughtful gifts, and participating in festivals to boost your closeness. Every gesture brings you closer to building a life together in Zephyr Town.

  • All Secret Windmill Recipes Solved with Purple Wonderstone in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    All Secret Windmill Recipes Solved with Purple Wonderstone in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    During the early stages of Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you’ll frequently meet different windmills as Isaac assigns you various tasks to unlock each one. Every windmill produces unique recipes, which will become your primary way to earn money once you have the right ingredients.

    Although you’ll unlock all three windmills fairly early in the game, you can expand the variety of recipes they process by obtaining the Purple Wonderstone. Luckily, earning this item isn’t too difficult once you’ve advanced enough in the game.

    How to Get the Purple Wonderstone

    To acquire the Purple Wonderstone, you first need to upgrade your bazaar four times and reach the fifth rank. Once you hit this level, Felipe, Miguel’s brother, who stands behind him in the general store, will give you a new stall request.

    Felipe asks you to generate 200,000 sales in a single day at your bazaar to get his stall. After completing this challenge, his stall will be added to the bottom left corner of your existing stall. You can then browse his shop on bazaar days, where each Wonderstone, including the purple one, costs about 140,000 gold.

    All New Windmill Recipes with Purple Wonderstone

    Once you have the Purple Wonderstone, you can insert it into the mechanism to the left of where you assign processing tasks in any windmill. Each windmill will then unlock new recipes. Here are the recipes for each windmill:

    Red Windmill

  • Enhance Item Quality by Completing Nature Sprites in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    Enhance Item Quality by Completing Nature Sprites in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    Finding your way in a new town can be challenging, especially when nature seems unpredictable. In Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you can team up with the local nature sprites to make the land more fertile and increase its bounty, but doing so costs some effort.

    Luckily, we’re here to guide you on how to pay the price. You probably have enough resources, and raising the town’s happiness not only benefits your farm but also improves life for everyone in Zephyr Town.

    Where to Find the Nature Sprites

    As you progress through the main story, you’ll meet the nature sprites on Spring 13 as you step outside your house. These tiny, curious beings want to work with you to collect Happy Energy, which acts as an extra currency in the game. There are five sprites, each with a different role.

    They help increase happiness and can take donations of bounty items to boost the quality of things like forageables, bugs, fish, and more. Improving their levels is important because higher levels increase the star rating of these items, which influences recipes and crafting.

    You can chat with each sprite to donate excess items and raise your Sprite Level. Every four levels, their quality boost increases by half a star. They also unlock Cheer Time during bazaar hours, offering effects like higher quality items for sale.

    Sprite Locations and How to Find Them

    All sprites live to the east of town, on cliffs along the river. To reach them, use your glider to bounce on the barrel south of Gabriel’s house, then fly over to the ledge where their house is located. They appear every night after midnight, once the townspeople are asleep.

    Here’s where you can find each sprite during the day, along with what to give them:

    Ivy

    Ivy is the leader of the sprites, found on your farm in the clearing to the right of the red windmill. You can give her forageables like weeds, rocks, wood, or wildflowers.

    Note: During rainy weather, Ivy can be found hidden in the trees.

    Honey, dressed like a honeybee, improves the quality of honeycombs and honey. It accepts only honey items as donations and is located in the mountain area, far to the north, near the upper pond.

    Note: Honey is less visible during storms, often hiding in the trees.

    Finley

    Finley is a friend who helps find fish. You can locate Finley just south of your farm, in the first clearing to the west of the river. Before crossing the bridge into town, give them any extra fish you catch—trash is not accepted.

    Fish Quality Progression:

    Sprite Level Effect
    Level 0 0.5 Star Fish
    Level 4 1.0 Star Fish

    Note: During storms, Finley stays near the cliffs, seeking shelter among the trees.

    Webby

    Mushroom Quality Progression:

    Sprite Level Effect

  • Exploring the Uses of Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    Exploring the Uses of Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals in SoS: Grand Bazaar

    When visiting the bazaar every Saturday in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you’ll often see stalls selling items like upgrades and new techniques in exchange for gold. However, some stalls don’t require gold but instead ask for specific items.

    One such stall is called Prize Palooza, operated by a random NPC named Rich. At this stall, you can exchange various medals earned throughout your gameplay for different prizes. Here’s everything you should know about it.

    How to Unlock the Prize Palooza Stall

    You must make significant progress in the game to unlock Prize Palooza. Start by reaching the fifth rank in the bazaar by consistently selling items and getting new stalls, which is called the Regional Bazaar.

    Once you reach this rank, a cutscene will trigger on Sunday. Afterward, you’ll be given multiple requests, including one from Rich. To unlock his stall, you’ll need to give him 50 normal medals, five Ultimate Lumber, and five Ultimate Stones. Once completed, you can find Rich’s stall in the upper left area of the bazaar.

    Note: If it’s raining on the day you receive the new requests, you can find Rich at the hotel instead.

    Achieving this takes some effort because medals are tough to gather. Additionally, creating the Ultimate versions of Lumber and Stones requires 125 normal wood and rocks each.

    How to Get Medals

    The main way to earn medals is by digging in dirt spots on the ground. Use your Hoe on these spots to receive a random medal. Some spots, like the one behind the blue windmill, can even give multiple medals at once.

    Sometimes, you can also find medals by hoeing on your fields, but this is less common. Several in-game titles, which are earned by reaching certain milestones in activities, can reward you with medals as well.

    You can also upgrade medals to higher quality levels using the blue windmill with Purple Wonderstone. To do this, you’ll need copper, silver, or gold ore along with a lower-rarity medal.

    Tip: Since you can upgrade medals, it’s not recommended to use only Silver or Bronze medals for the lottery, as you can improve them later.

    Medals can also be sold for a good price in your bazaar if you’re not interested in using them for the Prize Palooza lottery.

    How To Get And Use Happy Energy Through Completing and Solving in Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

    In Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, the game primarily focuses on farming but centers around a weekly market called the bazaar. This event takes place every Saturday and starts with just a few stalls. As you advance in the game and complete certain requests, more stalls and items become available for purchase.

    One special stall is the Happy Shoppe. Unlike most stalls that accept gold, the Happy Shoppe doesn’t take money. Instead, you earn Happy Energy through your activities during the week and spend it here.

    ### How to Unlock the Happy Shoppe
    Most stalls unlock after reaching specific bazaar ranks once their requests are completed. However, the Happy Shoppe is an exception; it becomes available as part of the story progression. After upgrading your bazaar the first time, the Nature Sprites will visit you for the first time around Spring 13. Once you’ve seen this scene, they’ll appear again at your next bazaar, introducing you to the Happy Shoppe. You can find this stall at the top left of the bazaar map, by going left from the mayor’s stall and following the slope upward.

    ### Everything You Can Buy in the Happy Shoppe
    Much like other bazaaar stalls, the Happy Shoppe offers items that only unlock after reaching certain ranks. You can buy seeds, which change seasonally, and other items depending on your progress:

    #### Wares Unlocked at Each Bazaar Rank

    | Rank | Items Available | Happy Energy Cost |
    |—————–|———————————————————|——————-|
    | 2 (Village) | Sprite Box: Bazaar, Zephyr Town, Red Windmill, Mountains, Power Berry, Leaf Tent, Leaf Counter, Nature Sprite Gift, Happy Forest Mix, Weeds, Wood, Rock | 300 – 50,000 |
    | 3 (Town) | Various Gliders, Tree Stump House, Happy Mushroom Fry | 3,000 – 10,000 |
    | 4 (City) | Several Happy Boxes for different locations, Happy Chef Salad | 10,000 – 150,000 |
    | 5 (Regional) | Happy Fruit Platter | 20,000 |
    | 7 (World) | Power Berry (expensive, one-time use) | 300,000 |

    Among these, the Sprite Box, Happy Box, and Power Berries are particularly important:
    – Sprite Boxes allow you to access your storage from specific locations.
    – Upgrading a Sprite Box to a Happy Box enables instant teleportation back home from that spot.
    – Power Berries permanently increase your maximum stamina.

    ### Seeds Available by Season
    Seeds also unlock depending on the season:
    – Spring, Summer, Autumn: Rice, Soybean, Wheat, Tea, Turnip, Strawberry
    – Summer: Watermelon, Red Bell Pepper
    – Autumn: Cauliflower, Sweet Potato
    – Winter: Napa Cabbage, Burdock

    Each seed costs 1,000 Happy Energy during its season.

    ### How to Get Happy Energy
    The main way to farm Happy Energy is simply by playing normally. Activities like farming, foraging, fishing, and processing in the windmill have a chance to earn Happy Energy. The more you do, the more energy you gather.

    You can also earn Happy Energy by gifting specific items to Nature Sprites. leveling them up grants you energy, and every four levels, the quality of the items you give increases.

    Finally, participating in Bazaar’s Cheer Time—selling items during this event—also rewards you with Happy Energy. The more items you sell during Cheer Time, the more energy you gain.

    How to Romance Derek in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – Completing & Solving

    Derek is a friendly guy who works at the town’s cafe. When he’s not working, he’s either hanging out at home with his brother Jules or exploring the mountains nearby. He’s adventurous and likes to keep the local kids out of trouble, but he also has his own problems to deal with.

    You can usually find Derek in town during the week, especially in the main area unless there’s a holiday or market day. When the weather’s bad, he’s more likely to stay home.

    Best Gifts for Derek
    Derek has specific tastes in gifts. He loves all bugs, especially the giant beetles found around town. Avoid giving him healthy foods or junk like weeds. Medals you find around town are also good gifts—though normally, you might sell them for extra money. If you can spare a few, they likely will help you win his heart quickly.

    Loved Gifts Liked Gifts Disliked Gifts
    Elephant Beetle Gold Medal, Silver Medal, Bronze Medal, Omelet Rice, Giant Stag Beetle, Stag Beetle Weeds or unhealthy foods

    Derek is a unique character with specific preferences. He appreciates all bugs, especially giant beetles. Medals you find can make perfect gifts, but they’re more valuable if sold; giving them to Derek can help strengthen your relationship.

    Derek’s Schedule & How to Find Him
    Derek works at the town cafe. When he’s off duty, he’s usually at home with his brother or out in the mountains. During workdays, he’s mostly in town unless it’s a holiday or market day. Inclement weather puts him at home more often.

    Derek’s Heart Events and Requests
    Getting to know Derek involves spending time with him during his work and personal moments. As your relationship deepens, you’ll unlock special requests and events, which are essential to advancing your friendship and possibly more.

    White Heart Event

    • When: Around noon on a clear day
    • Where: Inside the cafe during his shift

    This is your first meeting with Derek, where you’ll see him in action at work. Kevin appears during this event to talk about his latest prank. After Kevin leaves, you can comment positively by saying, “He’s quite the prankster, huh?” to earn extra points.

    Fragrance for the Cafe
    Derek asks for three herbal perfumes (lavender, chamomile, and mint), which you can make at the red windmill using herbs. Bringing these to him will help you build your relationship.

    Blue Heart Event

    • When: Around 2:00 PM on a Wednesday
    • Where: Inside the cafe while Derek is working

    During this event, Jules visits his brother, causing Derek to get annoyed. He later apologizes, and when he asks for your advice, choosing “Show him you can handle yourself!” is a good response.

    Chill-Out Juice Request
    Derek wants to relax and asks for five servings of any type of juice, at least one-star quality or higher. Bring it to him at his house to increase your connection.

    Green Heart Event

    • When: About 4:00 PM
    • Where: Inside Derek and Jules’ house

    Here, you help Derek try to cook, though things don’t go perfectly. Jules questions whether Derek should be in the kitchen, and you should reassure him by saying, “Derek will be fine.”

    Medal Collector Request
    Collect 20 medals from around town, which you get by digging up treasure in soil mounds using your hoe. Giving these medals to Derek will unlock further relationship options.

    Yellow Heart Event
    Once your relationship hits the maximum with yellow hearts, look for a pink exclamation mark on the map near Derek. This event lets you express your feelings—either confessing love or choosing to stay friends. You can change your mind later, but early confession might be best if you aim to marry Derek soon.

  • Where To Find Samir’s Cat in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar During Completing and Solving

    Where To Find Samir’s Cat in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar During Completing and Solving

    While playing Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you’ll receive many requests from different townsfolk as you advance in the game. You can unlock new requests mainly by upgrading your bazaar or by reaching the highest level on a specific heart color with certain villagers.

    Most of these requests are simple fetch quests, but some ask you to visit a location and find a particular item. One such request is cataloging, where you’ll need to locate a specific cat. If you’re trying to find the cat for this request, the process isn’t complicated—you won’t have to look very far.

    How to Unlock the Cat-ologing Request

    Before you can get the cataloging request, you need to bring Samir to Zephyr Town. This requires upgrading your bazaar three times to reach the fourth rank. Once you do that, the town’s mayor will visit your house the next day and introduce Samir. After that, he becomes the last romanceable character in your game.

    After befriending him by giving items and chatting to increase his heart meter, the cataloging request will appear once you fill the white-colored heart level to the max. Then, you’ll see a scene with Samir that triggers the quest.

    Where to Find Samir’s Cat

    In this quest, Samir asks you to find a cat he noticed around the hotel. Luckily, you won’t need to travel far to find it. When leaving the hotel, take the path to the right that leads toward the bazaar. Just before you reach the bazaar entrance, notice a small hidden trail branching off on the left behind the hotel.

    Follow this narrow path, which climbs slightly and runs behind some trees, with the hotel now hidden from view. The cat is beside the leftmost tree. As you approach, a short scene will play out. Afterward, just return to Samir and talk to him to complete the request.
