The Tunnel Mine

Between Bluebell Town and Konohana Town is a tunnel that connects the villages together. At
the beginning of the game you'll find that the Goddess intentionally collapsed the tunnel to stop
the villagers from contacting each other. As you play through the game you will repair the tunnel
and the villages' friendship.

Once the tunnel is repaired, you can run through it and randomly find Scrap Metal, Copper,
Silver, or even Ore Stone on the ground each day. These random ground items are not what the
Harvest Goddess means when she refers to being able to gain access to a mine.

If you continue to expand the tunnel you'll discover that there's a hidden mine half-way through
it! To access the mine you'll need to do the following:

1. Complete the tunnel between the two towns by participating in the seasonal cooking
festivals. As you gain 3 hearts of friendship with the mayors, Eileen will post a "Through
the Tunnel" request on the Bluebell message board on the first day of the new season.
You'll need to complete this request three times before the path between the towns has
been repaired.
2. Expand your farm to 100% in size. You'll need to complete all of Eileen's farm
construction requests and then stay on the farm. If you move to the other farm and it's not
at 100%, then you will simply get another farm renovation request instead of moving
towards unlocking the mine.
3. Make sure your Request Level is at 5 or higher.
4. Because your farm is at 100%, Eileen's last renovation request will be the "A Hot Spring"
request. The spa will cost 2,000,000 G, 50 Material Stone, and 50 Lumber.
5. Now that she's out of construction work (don't move farms!), Eileen will prompt you for
the fourth "Through the Tunnel" request. Bring her 10 Lumber, 10 Material Stone, and
500,000 G. This will unlock a southern path through the tunnel, but you won't find any
gems there; just another opportunity to find Scrap Metal, Copper, Silver, and Ore Stone.
6. Finally, you will get the mine request. It will cost 1,000,000 G, 10 Material Stone, and 10
Lumber.
Access to the mine will be from staircases on the northern wall of the tunnel. Each day you can
find ores and gems from the four foraging spots inside the mine. Just like looking for wild items
in the mountain, walk up to one of the four spots and press A until you see the "There's nothing
here." message. Then move onto the next one. You do not need to use your Hammer.

The path through the mine is very dark. If you want more visible light, you can have Oracle
make the Night Vision alchemy potion. You will need to bring her a Strawberry, a Carrot, and
Fluorite. After you eat the potion, you can see better in the mine tunnel but it's not completely
clear. Your vision will be expanded for the rest of the day.
Along the path of the mine you will come across geysers. If you walk across the geyser while it
is erupting, you will be pushed out of the mine and land at the bottom of the waterfall in the
Konohana mid-mountain area! The geysers erupt about every 15 minutes in-game so be careful
when walking up to one. It is more efficient to wait for the eruption and then run over the geyser
than to have to run all the way back to the mine from the mountain area.

Just like with the mountain items, the star rank of the foraged ores and gems will be determined
by the year you are in. In year three you can get ores and gems from 2.5 to 3 stars, year four is 3
to 3.5 stars, and between year five and year nine you'll find 4 to 4.5 star rank items. You can't
find 5 star rank items until year ten.

The ores and gems in the four mine foraging spots are not seasonal. You'll find the same items all
year long.
