Fragments (ANB)

Fragments are a special item in Harvest Moon 3DS: A New Beginning.

There are several special blueprints in the game that are incomplete and separated into pieces. These pieces are called fragments. The fragments are spread all throughout the valley and surrounding areas. Once the player finds all fragment pieces, they will come together to create a full blueprint. These special blueprints are required for special buildings and items. Once you've found all fragments, you can combine them to make the full blueprint.

Amber
Once all the Amber fragments have been found, you will be able to create the Obelisk decoration.


 * The first fragment is only available in Year 2 after finding at least 100 items while mining. After meeting these requirements and obtaining all other blueprints from group one, you will be able to mine the fragment.
 * Fragment two can be caught when fishing in the river area, mountain area, or on your farm. You need to be a "Star Fisherman" fishing rank or higher, and you must catch the 9 blueprints from groups one and two before you can catch the second fragment which is included in group 3.
 * The third fragment is found at the Ancient Ruins. Examine the Totem Pole near the entrance to receive the "Totem Pole" blueprint. On your third visit or later (after having the Totem Pole plan), examine the sun statue to receive the fragment.

To craft an Obelisk, 5 Black Lumber, 10 Sandrose, 3 Ancient Clay Figures, and 10 Shiny Coins are required.

Ashen
After collecting all three fragments, the Stone Marker decoration can be created. It only serves as a decoration.


 * The first piece can be found in one of the honey trees in the forest. You'll need to place Royal Jelly on the honey tree and then check back the next day to find the fragment.
 * You can find the second piece at the Ancient Ruins only after you have the Totem Pole Plan. After your third visit to the ruins or later (after obtaining the Totem Pole Plan), investigate the stone monument for the fragment.
 * Elridge at the Ancient Ruins is in possession of the third fragment. In order to get the fragment, obtaining the Large Totem Pole plan is required. If you've been to the Ancient Ruins at least five separate times and you've obtained the appropriate plans, talk to Elridge and he should give you the last fragment.

The Stone Marker requires 1 Black Rock, 1 Glittering Stone, 99 Scrap Metal, 1 Pink Diamond and 1 Mythic Stone to create.

Azure
The three Azure blueprints will come together to make the Three Wheeled Buggy. You can use this handy vehicle to get around more quickly.

 * Use fishing traps at Southern Island in order to find piece #2. You must have the "Star Trapper" fish trapping rank, which requires that you catch 200 items while trapping. Additionally, you must have caught all items that can be found at the first and second fishing spots in the river area.
 * The last fragment can be found while ice fishing at Snowland. Finding all blueprints from Groups 1 and 2 are required before you are able to fish this up.

The buggy requires 10 Material Stone, 10 Iron, 10 Copper and 5 Platinum to make.

Black
These three fragments come together to make the "Pointy Hat" blueprints. This is required in order for the Witch Princess to move in.

Colorless
