Ranger Taro - Custom NPC

🌲 **Welcome to the world of Ranger Tarot! **

✨ Module Features

Ranger Tarot is a character I've wanted to create for a long time. She's designed to add a lightweight experience to the game, enrich the original game elements, and stimulate your imagination of the wider world behind Stardew Valley.

🗺️ How to find her

Follow the fence on the north side of Ash Forest toward Secret Forest, and you'll see a new weathered sign (and/or a path) leading to a new location. Find her in the tent!

🎭 Character content

• **NEW LOCATION**: A new area deep into the Ash Forest
• **7 Heart Events**: rich plot development
• **200+ Dialogues**: Learn more about the Tarot story
• **Friendship Rewards**: Get special rewards as your favorability increases

🎁 Favorite gifts

Tarot is interested in spiral shapes in nature:

• 🐚 Nautilus shell
• 🐌 snail
• 🍪 Miner Snacks
• 🍲 Bracken risotto

She has a particular phobia that you can detect if you give her the wrong gift once. She hates anything containing this stuff: 🦐 Shrimp

🤝 Friendship Benefits

• Letters will be sent at 3, 5, 7, and 9 hearts, containing the rare fossils that Professor Schnell is looking for on Ginger Island.
• Clean up debris while hiking in the forest
• After the 10-heart event, the traveling merchant will appear in Tarot's meadow on Saturday
• No romance allowed, sorry :)

📅 Schedule

• **Monday, Tuesday, Thursday**: Walk to the edge of the forest near the town, then go around the lake and study on the grass in the afternoon
• **Wednesday, Saturday**: Start scouting early, hang out on the edge of town, then head deep into the forest to get close to the Hat Rat, then slowly hike home all day
• **Friday, Sunday**: Stay in the tent and write reports

After the 10-heart incident, there will be significant changes in the schedule for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Saturdays she would drink with the townspeople at the saloon.
