Instructions
Collect a creature called a Whirlm. You start the game with one square pinometer of soil, the only thing needed for a Whirlm to appear.
Collect a creature called a Sparrowmint. This bird will appear automatically if you have one Whirlm in your garden and reach Level 2 in gardening skill. Experience points are received for feeding creatures or having them perform tricks, and Level 2 is reached quickly just by playing through the tutorials.
Travel to Costolot's General Store. This shop is located in the only village on Pinata Island. Buy a buttercup from this store for 10 coins.
Feed the buttercup to the Sparrowmint. This will transform the Sparrowmint into a Candary.
