Rudolph (HoLV)

Rudolph is a gruff old man who is seen working in the mines for Leisure Land's company in Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley.

He is harsh and quiet who doesn't have much to say, but lets you reap the benefits of the mine after getting to know him. He technically works for the Funland company, digging at the Mine for them, but his heart will always be for the people in Leaf Valley as he helps preserving the Valley through his Event Path, The Secret Fossil.

Mining Ore

 * Where: The Mine
 * When: 09am – 1pm (except weekends)

Rudolph needs your help by mining at the dig site any weekday for a few hours. You're allowed to keep any mineral crystals that you find (not precious ores), plus Rudolph will pay you with a considerable amount of 250G. Also, just like Woody's part-time job, if you work here for 4 times, you will be free to dig at the mine anytime for your leisure.
