Thanks from Kinnetik-ishisu

Your guides are definitely the best. I've played Harvest Moon for a while and so far, your guides are the only ones I tend to look for cause they are the most accurate. I was really excited when I discovered the Tree of Tranquility Official Strategy Guide and that you had written it, Thanks for all the work you have done so far and keep on going!

THX! THX! x 1001

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing a walkthrough for Narnia, the Wardrobe.

I was very much stuck , almost gave up the game until i read your FAQ,

I think highly of you Freyashawk !!!!!

A friend from the Flanders, Belgium : BeckInTown.

P.S.: Thanxs.

Note from Freyashawk: This sort of message always touches me deeply. It has been a couple of years since I last played that game, but I am glad to know that my guide still allows players to enjoy the game more than they would otherwise.

Thanks from Jenelle

I've been using them for almost every Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game I own. I'd like to thank you so much for making these, they're always a gigantic help when I get stuck. I find myself looking up your FAQ's and Walkthroughs when I'm in a tight spot more often than not, haha. But seriously, thank you for all the wonderful help you've given the Harvest Moon fans of the world. Please keep it up! ^-^
A fellow fan of Harvest Moon
And a Fan of You,

P.S.: How do you pronounce Freyashawk? Is it like "Freya's Hawk" or "Freya-Shawk"? This has been bugging me for awhile ^-^"
P.S.S.: Thank you for putting up with my Shenanigans.


My response to the question: It's Freya's Hawk. Freya, the old Northern goddess, had a cloak made of hawk feathers which allowed her to fly. Using the internet is similar to being able to fly... thus Freyashawk. I first used the name when I created levels for a game entitled 'Claw' about a Pirate Cat.

Thanks for 'Innocent Life' Guide

Thanks from Michelle

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your strategy guides. You just happen to love EVERY single video game that I like and you have always gotten me out of tough spots. I was thrilled for you when I saw that you had written the Tree of Tranquility guide.



I hope you become a very successful strategy guide writer, and wish you luck on your writing project.

Thank You for Cooking Guide for H.M.D.S.

23rd December 2008

Dear 'Freyashawk',
I would like to graciously thank you for all the Harvest Moon guides you have published over the Internet. These are a constant source of reference for me as they are so helpful, detailed and accurate. Many times when I have been 'stuck' in the game, with little options, I have turned to your guides for the solution and always found it. This email may not be necessary, but I wanted to express my gratitude. I appreciate that you must spend a lot of time and energy working on these guides to make them the high quality that they are. For this, myself and many other players in the gaming world, will be grateful.

In particular, I have found pleasure in reading the Harvest Moon DS Cooking 101 Guide. I enjoy being able to cook on the Harvest Moon game, making meals for my favourite girls in the Valley or for Events. This guide listed so many recipes that I was able to try out, to great success. When I first began playing the game, the Harvest Moon DS General Guide was very useful in providing an overview of practically every aspect of the game. Once I had read the guide, I was immediately able to begin playing straight away. For me, knowing what to do in a game and getting the most satisfying experience out of it is my aim. The guidance you have given was appreciated to achieve these aims. After fully understanding the game, I could really enjoy it and it has given me hours of entertainment.

I admire you tremendously for the hard work and energy you put into your guides, for the benefits of other players. It is also a generous commitment. Such concise guides, so accurate and detailed could be worth a lot of money. Yet you deliver these for free, to many players over the world. This is an unnecessary, but much appreciated, act of generosity in a world where courtesy has often been forgotten.

Once again, thank you.

Yours respectfully,
S. H.


Note from Freyashawk: I was deeply touched that a player took the time and effort to write this email. It makes all the difference to know that the work I do is appreciated by players and I would like to thank every one who has written to me simply to thank me for my efforts.
