Day Three

It’s Market Day today. Uncle Bill wants you to head down to Festival Green and pick up seeds to get the farm up and running.

• Attend Druida's Day festivities

Head to Festival Green and meet Bill by the Goddess Statue. Making an offering isn't essential but can give you a nice boost for a week in one of many different areas (but also give a curse from the opposite Goddess, so be thoughtful on your choices). There are also other activities going on. Maybe see if you can get a high score and win prizes at the Marble Toss minigame.

• Build a Tool Shed

Use your Axe to gather Wood from special trees dotted around the land. There are 2 trees on the farm by the West and South Gates.
