While exploring Harvestella, players will stumble upon different kinds of gadgets and mechanisms that’ll help make the journey easier and more enjoyable. These items have various uses varying from healing to collecting materials in the game.
Progressing through the chapters of Harvestella will help travelers meet more friends, who offer their knowledge as thanks. The knowledge can come in the form of a cooking recipe, a crafting recipe, and many other essential items. Therefore, it’s crucial that players know these items and how to get them in Harvestella.
7 Repair Kit
A Repair Kit is used to fix the broken bridges, mainly found in the Higan Canyon dungeon. Upon exploring the area with Dianthus, there will be multiple times when it’s impossible to cross over without fixing the bridge. Therefore, having some Repair Kits ready in the Inventory will help immensely.
To get the Repair Kit, travelers must reach the second part of the Higan Canyon dungeon map and interact with the broken bridge. Here, Dianthus will give players a free Repair Kit to fix it, and also a Repair Kit Recipe. Making one call for one Lumber and one Hard Stone.
6 Fermenting Barrel
The Fermenting Barrel is a craftable tool used to make drinks. In short, travelers can throw any vegetable or fruit in the barrel and juice will come out. These drinks usually restore HP which is crucial while still in the early game. It is possible to make Vegetable Juice (700 HP) or Berry Juice (600 HP).
To make a Fermenting Barrel, players need to complete three tasks from the Faerie Order. It’s a book given by the Great Fire Faerie that has multiple small tasks, which reward valuable items. Upon acquiring the recipe, the Fire Faerie rejoices, gives players nine Carrops, and asks them to make Vegetable Juice. One Fermenting Barrel needs two Lumbers and two Rusty Metals.
5 The Hammer
The hammer is one of the Valuables that helps travelers expand their farms by destroying rocks. Farming is an essential part of Harvestella, as it rewards players with useful crops used for various daily tasks like cooking.
At the beginning of Day 2, Cres mentions a hammer and send players to gather the necessary resources from Njord Steppe. On Day 3, the Mayor of Lethe Village introduces the Crafting Table, where it will be possible to create the hammer and other essential items. The hammer requires 10 Hard Stones to be crafted.
4 Flour Mill
The Flour Mill is a great, albeit weird way to earn Grilla in Harvestella. As the name suggests, Flour Mill is used for grinding Stellar Wheat and making Flour for cooking, with each bag requiring three Stellar Wheat. By putting the Flour in the blue Shipping Box, players will earn 180 Grilla.
Just like the Fermenting Barrel, it can be obtained by completing three tasks for the Great Fire Faerie. The required crafting materials are two Lumbers and two Rusty Metals.
3 Fishing Knowledge
Fishing Knowledge is arguably a crucial item in Harvestella, as it teaches travelers how to fish. There are numerous Fishing Spots in each area, but all are unusable unless players purchase the fishing book. To fish, simply interact with any spot and wait for the fish to make a splash. Once that happens, quickly press the Catch button.
The book of Fishing Knowledge can be bought from the General Store for 800 Grilla. The amount can be gained easily by placing stuff in the blue Shipping Box. Also, later on, some side quests will help with the money-earning process.
2 Kitchen Counter
Kitchen Counters are essential for every Harvestella player, as they help with the cooking process. Cooking helps travelers combine ingredients to create a dish that restores HP and Stamina according to its rarity. Recipes are either rewarded by friends for free or purchased from the General Store.
The Kitchen Counters are on the expensive side as they cost 2,000 Grilla. This is not an easy amount for early-game players, but exploring the dungeons and defeating enemies will surely drop some valuables that are meant for shipping to earn Grilla.
1 Return Bell
On Day 3 of Harvestella, the Mayor of Lethe Village will talk with players privately and give them the Crafting Table, along with a Return Bell Recipe. Its job is to teleport the user directly home without walking any extra steps, which is an enormous advantage considering players have until midnight before falling unconscious. The Mayor also gives the necessary materials to immediately craft some Return Bells.
Although the Mayor was helpful, later on, players will have to collect the necessary materials to craft it again. Only one ingredient is required, which is the Monolite Fragment. It can be found in Bird’s Eye Brae by interacting with mining spots.
Harvestella is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch.
