Townsfolk Events

Mugi welcomes the farmer to Yodel Ranch.

As you continue to raise your friendship points with Mugi, you can unlock townsfolk events that allow you to get to know him better.

Unlike marriage candidates, you aren’t really required to respond with specific dialogue in order to gain their favor. Sometimes, simply participating in the event is enough!

They also aren’t required to advance in your friendship with the non-marriageable villagers. Below is a list of each townsfolk event and the requirements needed to trigger them.
