→‎Tips: expand smelting sentence to clarify time savings and move it to the end so the two sentences related to cost savings are adjacent
Line 156: Line 156:  
*To avoid missing a day of watering, water crops, then upgrade the Watering Can when the weather report indicates rain the next day. Crops will be watered the day the can is taken to the Blacksmith, the following day by the rain, and the can can be picked up the day after that. It can also be a good idea to upgrade the watering can near the end of a season, if there is nothing in the ground that will bear fruit until then.

*Regarding coal prices, during year 1, it's cheaper to buy wood from the [[Carpenter's Shop]] and use a [[Charcoal Kiln]] to make [[coal]] than it is to buy coal from the Blacksmith's.  Conversely, starting in year 2, the price of [[wood]] increases from {{price|10}} to {{price|50}}, so it is cheaper to purchase coal.

*At [[Skills#Mining|Mining Skill]] 7, it is cheaper to purchase [[Iron Ore]], smelt [[Iron Bar]]s, and use the Transmute (Au) recipe to create [[Gold Bar]]s than it is to purchase [[Gold Ore]] and smelt it into Gold Bars.  This also cuts the smelting time from 5h to 2h per [[Furnace]]. This saves {{price|350}} per Gold Bar in the first year and {{price|1000}} per Gold Bar in year 2+, assuming you buy the extra coal you need for the Iron-to-Gold method.

The Iron-to-Gold method also reduces smelting time by 1 to 3 hours, depending on how many furnaces you have (smelting a Gold Bar takes 5 hours; smelting an Iron Bar takes 2 hours, but you need 2 of them to make a Gold Bar).
 
* The [[minecart]] to town leaves just to the right of his shop. This makes it easy to travel there for whatever reason without traversing the rest of [[Pelican Town]].

* Although the door to the Blacksmith locks at 4pm, as long as the player is inside the building they can still interact with the counter after 4pm to make purchases, upgrade tools etc., even after Clint walks away from the counter at 5pm.
