Cherry Blossom Festival: What to Contribute to the Potluck

Remember to donate a top-quality item to the hotpot during the Cherry Blossom Festival. For a first-year player, the best and easiest items to contribute are a Common Salmon, Common Squid, or a Bronze-quality Crayfish. Judge Ross will appreciate the effort! However, if you have higher-quality seafood or animal produce, feel free to donate those for better results.

Winning the Swimming Contest in the Beach Cleanup Festival

Before participating in the swimming contest, ensure your stamina is topped off. Once you start swimming, spam the Q and R keys (or LB and RB buttons) alternately to build momentum. Stop swimming when your stamina reaches the tiny gold section to avoid draining your stamina completely. This strategy will give you a stamina boost and help you complete the contest successfully.

Winning the Harvest Display Contest in the Mooncake/Harvest Festival

The Harvest Display Contest requires you to showcase your best vegetables, fruits, flowers, coop products, barn products, and artisan products. Each category rewards 6 points, so gather as many high-quality items as you can. The score depends on the price and quality of the products. Bring top-quality products to beat Bobby's highest score of 96 points.
