One thing I really thought was important in the other GBA games were the passive items for the farm - Gold Cup, for instance. Posession of them reduced stress, increased rest effectiveness, etc. i have been searching for similar items in this game. WHat I have come across is items listed as "Farm items" (fuaamuAitemu) that I am wondering about. Are these the same types of things?

I currently have 4 of them -
1) TERETERE bouzu - looks like a purple doll of some sort. The description talks about Stress.
2) yume ORUGO-RU (Dream organ?) - Looks like an old phonograph music box. This appears to affect rest
3) hutago no mizusashi (Twin Water bottle?) - this also mentions stress in the description
4) ARUTEMISU zou (Artemis statue) - This one talks about Fatigue in the description.

So, are these the items I have been looking for???

I've got scans of the item lists with their values from Lisa. I've been
having a very hard time making head or tail of anything,
unfortunately.

Until I can show them to my Japanese friend, I'd be very happy to
show them to you. I'm sure Lisa wouldn't mind, either.

I should be getting a copy of the guide that Lisa has sometime soon. This way I can make the necessary scans and post the images myself, which will be a lot faster and will be less of a strain on Lisa, who is out straight with work.

I will make a go of translation, but I am having quite a tough time. After a week of playing I still have very little of my already feeble Japanese skills coming back to me.

Looks good so far.

The toughest items are the disc chips.
