Festival Tips

Festival Tips
I did set myself to get at least gold trophies for all festivals (it's pretty hard to get gold trophies for fishes cause it's random even at high fishing skill). And it may be my hunch, festivals seem get harder as time passes, especially harvest festival. Hence I suggest you to get gold trophies as soon as possible. There's not many tips, but I do think there are few things I can share here.


Fishing Frenzy Contest
Before I proceed, there are few basic tips you need to know, that applies for ALL fishing contests. First, learn to see the shadow of the fishes in the lake/sea/pond. Don't fish in a place without any shadow (fish). If you don't see any shadow, go to next map then back to the current one. Cast your rod at the place with NEAR to the fish, so you don't have to wait the fish randomly finding you. Second, NEVER charge your rod. I used to do that, which it's pointless. Cause you are wasting time on charging. Not to mention if you plan to reset, those good fishes will make your heart pain. You might even decided to get 2nd place for those fishes. it's not worth it. If you really want $$ from fishes, do it another day. Third, wear either fast running shoe or Water Shoe if possible. There's benefits for both. Fast running shoes allow you to "reset the shadow" fast. Water Shoe allow you to get as close as possible to the fish.

Fishing Frenzy is probably the easiest among the fishing contests. Cause you don't have to change map. Stay at one place and keep fishing as long as there's shadow. If not, just go to next map, back to current one.


Fish Variety Contest
This is more of a time attack compared to Fishing Frenzy. In my opinion, try to get around 3 different fishes in any fishing spot you like/convenient. Then once you have got 3 NEW fishes, change to another fishing spot. Keep repeat this, you should be able to get 12++ types of fish.


Turnip Festival
There's an equipment which you can make full use in this game. That's Throwing Ring. Initially, I couldn't win this game until I got fed up and checked up the accessory. There's an accessory then boost your throwing distance. Still not convince with its ability here? Boosting its distance may seems nothing, but the ball you throw will be enough to hit the wall and deflect back to the field. So you just have to randomly throw the ball as quick as possible without any aim.

Quiz Contest
There's a rather a fun way to cheat. There seems to be always a smartass who will get all question correct. So here's the thing, follow that person. Then, "push" him out of the box. Yea, you can actually push them out and make it zero point for that person.

Also, do take note that you can control the marks for the last question. Porcoline will ask whether you want the mark to remain 1 (unfair) or go with double of the 12345 points. I don't think it makes any significant changes in result though..
