Do you still have save files from before you pick up the purple fruit on Pine Island? That might help. Otherwise, try re-downloading the game, and use the prepackaged save files. Save 03 puts you right on Pine Island just before you're about to leave with the purple fruit in your inventory, and I promise you won't be losing any items, solved quests, unlocked scenes, or be underleveled using those files. You only need to remember to switch your equipment, spend all your free stat points, and maybe visit the ID machine in the Gloom Forest to change the Adventurer's name back to what you were using.
Yes, there is a hidden item you can get in the shack, but you gotta have a specific quest item in your inventory for that to work first. Check the "Spoopy Secret Stuff!" sub-chapter in the walkthrough for details https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RfA3evYulYL2F-3G-RZmgUqjejens8RLvOa2mrfrsAM/...
You can check the walkthrough if you're looking for specific items and stuff https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RfA3evYulYL2F-3G-RZmgUqjejens8RLvOa2mrfrsAM/ Once you got the document open, press CTRL+F to open the search bar. In your case, type in "Note Piece", and you can jump straight to the points in the walkthrough where the note pieces are being mentioned. Here's the solution for where to find Note Piece 2#, for example. Just navigate the search bar to the remaining ones.

Sun Protection: Talk to the horse at the beach (head left after you enter the beach) while you're wearing a speedo. Bottle Filler: Fulfill Bob's quest at the Market Hall, aka bring him his Special Bottle from his sister's house in Safen. Sword Smith: Do Vogla's quest at the Market Hall, where you gotta bring him his bag from the rat cave (it's right where you originally found him). As for the golden door, you need to unlock Rubyro's scene in the Fire Dungeon. To do that, you must collect his entire armor set from the chests in his throne room. In other words, you gotta finish the entire Fire Dungeon three times and collect your loot every time. If you're still looking for stuff, you can check out the walkthrough. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RfA3evYulYL2F-3G-RZmgUqjejens8RLvOa2mrfrsAM/ Google Docs has a search function (CRTL+F) which allows you to search directly for the things you're looking for, so you don't have to read the entire document
In most cases, you can just copypaste the entire save-folder in "Small On Top/www" from the previous version into the next one (the config and global-file are also important). However, RPGMaker can be a fickle program when it comes to loading older save files in a newer version with new scripts and stuff. If you're upgrading from 0.17 to 0.18 (or from 0.61 to 0.62 if you're a Patreon), you should be good to go, but in other cases, you might have to use a save file from before you first entered the freshly updated areas (it's always good to keep a save file where you haven't entered Piratetown yet, as that's the area where things become WIP in the game).
The walkthrough can help you.
The magician is on the 2nd floor of Fire Dungeon and the tailor is in the forest where you can fight the crocodile and the bear, after Logtown.
