STORYOF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town offers a cozy life/sim experience with the series' signature charm, taking players to the charming seaside burg of Olive Town on a quest to revitalize their grandfather's dilapidated farm. An untamed wilderness awaits that can be customized down to the very tile, and further exploration yields fantastical lands – Earth Sprites K5bS4. As you continue to develop your farm in Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town, you’ll want to increase your crop quality. Not only does this slightly increase the sale price of your crops, but it also means you can make tastier dishes, and transform them into higher quality seeds to replant once more. Here’s how to increase crop quality in Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town. Crop Quality Explained The quality of your crops is indicated by the number of stars that appear next to the harvested crop. You can also check crop quality by selecting the item in your inventory and looking at the Quality’ stars gauge on the right-hand side of the screen. The maximum crop quality you can reach is 10 stars. The higher the crop quality, the more money you’ll be able to sell your crops for. How to Increase Crop Quality There are a few ways you can increase the quality of your crops in Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town. Get a Blessing from the Sprite Shine First things first, you’ll want to spend your Sprite Points on unlocking a Blessing from the Shrine in the very north of Olive Town itself. You’ll unlock this once you reveal the true identity of the Lady Sprite, this happened for us by the middle of Summer at the latest and happens automatically, so don’t worry about missing this. Walk over to the Shrine and you’ll be given a list of Blessings you can unlock. One of these right near the top is Boost your farm’s field level.’ This will initially cost 10 Sprite Points, going up to 20 for the second upgrade, and 40 Sprite Points to upgrade your farm’s field level to the max. After you’ve upgraded your field level, any seeds that you plant will grow higher quality crops. This is the first step you’ll want to take to quickly and easily increase your crop quality in Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town. Seed Maker Now that you’ve got some higher quality crops from upgrading your field level, don’t just sell them all. We sell half of our crop yield, and process the rest of the crops in Seed Makers. Seed Makers will take one crop and turn it into 2+ seeds of the same crop quality. For example, if you put in a 10 star tomato, you’ll get 2 10-star tomato seeds in return. The Seed Maker is therefore key to improving crop quality. Start off with 3-star seeds and plant them. If you’ve improved your farm’s field level already, these seeds should grow into crops with a higher crop quality star rating. Place these crops into the Seed Maker to get slightly higher quality seeds, and then rinse repeat the process. Keep on grinding and you’ll eventually reach 10-star quality crops. That’s all you need to know regarding increasing crop quality in Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town.

RELATED Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town Heads to PS4 in the West The DLC expansion pass can be purchased separately for $15. It includes new costumes, sub-scenarios, and two additional marriage candidates from past games in the franchise. Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town first launched for Nintendo Switch on March 23, 2021. It then came to PC via Steam on September 15, 2021.

Unlike its predecessor, the remake of Friends of Mineral Town for Switch, PoOT was just a bit lacklustre, with an empty world, zombie-like NPCs, and a crafting system so slow that you'd save time pressing coal into diamonds yourself with your bare hands. Add in the long loading screens, framerate issues, and a sprinkling of bugs, and it just wasn't a game I would recommend to people, farming fans or not. But six months on, we're now on patch and a lot of the more egregious issues have been either fixed or improved. With Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town free for a week on the Nintendo Switch Online service, you might be asking is it good now? Or, at the very least, is it better now? The museum is still sterile and disappointing The answer is a cautious and gentle "sort of". A lot of the issues are still present, such as the extremely boring, bare-bones museum, where fish are merely shadows in a tank, and the woman who "appraises" the treasures you find while mining still makes you hand them over one by one. Likewise, the town is still dull, and the villagers still don't seem to have much to say beyond mere pleasantries. Cutscenes, even with potential partners, are short and end abruptly, and that includes the DLC characters. But let's focus on the DLC for a little bit, because many of you — like me — may have been hoping that the new characters who are actually fan-favourite characters from older Story of Seasons games would inject a little bit of much-needed spice into the game. For me, it was Ludus — my husband from Trio of Towns — that enticed me into getting the DLC, but sadly, PoOT's take on the blue-haired beauty left him just as lifeless and unblinking as the rest of the Olive Town inhabitants. Without character portraits, it was hard to read any emotion into his idle animations, although patch added expressions and something called "Chat Camera" as a feature that could be turned on, which displays a close-up of the villager you're talking to. As you may be aware from interacting with real-life people, emotions and expressions are a huge part of socialising and growing to like someone — so it was pretty hard to connect with this Ludus-like cardboard cutout, even after we'd been married in a previous game. Ludus' home of Twilight Isle, which looks like a re-colour of my own farm, is also entirely separate from Olive Town — you have to take a boat to get there, and no one ever leaves. It's basically just a holding area for future marriage candidates. Windswept Falls and Terracotta Oasis are the same although each of the new locations have fishing spots, there are no new items to forage or interact with, no new animals, no areas to explore... nothing new, in fact, except the characters, who wander around aimlessly and never leave to visit Olive Town, not even for festivals. There's little reason to visit these DLC areas beyond finding someone to marry, and whisking them away from their boring existence to live on your farm. The DLC also offers costumes, which let you dress up the protagonist and the marriage candidates in fun outfits, but — and this really is a massive but — the DLC marriage candidates can't wear the costumes. Considering that the DLC candidates are the main reason someone would buy the DLC to begin with, it's quite the oversight. To get the protagonist's outfits, you'll need to head to the atelier and request them to be made, and you'll have to do this one by one — opening the menu, selecting the one you want, having Karina tell you it'll be ready tomorrow, rinse and repeat. The outfits are mostly cute and free!, and even though they're labelled as "boys" and "girls", you'll be able to wear them all no matter what gender your character is. However — and this may be personal preference — the cats and dogs costumes are hideously creepy, and the fact that you can't choose which one your partner wears for some reason, it's pre-determined just makes it worse. There are some welcome changes, of course, like the fact that recipes now vary in the amount of time they take to cook, but you still can't cook more than one dish at a time. You can also dump way more materials into the Maker Machines, which is easily the best change of all, as it takes a lot less time to turn your 999 ore into ingots when you can chuck 50 into each machine and just forget about it. The improved Maker Machines are a hugely welcome change But, honestly, these changes should have been in from the start. Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town may not have been quite as awful as Harvest Moon One World, which came out at around the same time, but it was still lacking in a lot of the charm and soul that previous Story of Seasons games had. Adding DLC of old, beloved characters only serves to remind us of the fact that this is a pretty underwhelming instalment in an otherwise great series. There are also a couple of extra events in the town, like the Mystery Files story But, listen if you've played a bunch of Story of Seasons games already, and you don't mind dropping 40 or 50 of your country's version of bucks on this game plus 20 more on the DLC just to give it a try, then go right ahead. Likewise, if you played the free demo and had fun, then that's great too! But, if I had to recommend a Story of Seasons-style game on the Switch, I'd recommend Friends of Mineral Town, Garden Story, Slime Rancher, Kitaria Fables and Cozy Grove before I'd recommend Pioneers of Olive Town.
