to be fair you do need the bus to get haley's iron, at that point all weapons need to be on par with the lava katana at least
To taunt you. Menacingly
Really
I wanted joja to disapear from this save
Will put a big decoration in front of him lol
go bird hunting
huh
A bear statue would go perfect
F
The bear will eat him
Ok, The Skeleton sword, Obsidian sword, Neptune’s Glaive, Broken Trident, Wood Mallet, and Lead Rod are all weapons that are better than the Meowmere that you can get before its even obtainable
does it say something about the parrot?
Nah
don't forget insect head... rose to the must get list of weapons for me
but yes i know the meowmere sucks and it's sad, it should be on par with the obsidian edge at least because you need level 100 in the mines to use it.
Dont forget the fact that you cant even access the Wizard’s basement until after the community center is complete and you complete the talisman quest
don't you need just friendship with the wizard?
Oh idk I never talk to him lmfao
Yeah, just need 4 or 5 hearts with the wiz to enter through the hatch
thought so
and even if you couldn't...just go into the hatch via the Witch's Hut. I think that's the workaround, right?
Which is what was originally suggested and needs CC completion
I mean, even if it was a good weapon, this is a much better use for it
Artful? Oh dear.
Old pic, I changed the enchantment already lmfao
Fair enough.
Is that a mod ?
I should redo the upgrades though, I want a crit build on it
Especially with that Golden Spur. Get that speed going, too.
Nope. If you put two weapons in the forge, the skin of the 2nd one goes onto the first one
Ohh didn't even knew
You know it
let's get this sword
I forgot the existence
@golden pondwe can only get one right ?
I can't get one more after the sword ?
You can
if i donate the last item to the missing bundle, does the truck go away once the movie theater is built? been getting horrible rabbit's foot luck for the charm
No but it changes look I think
okay cool ty
Did ConcernedApe change how often you get prismatic shards or am I just getting extremely lucky
No it does not
Did it too
The true form of the galaxy sword.. a cat
Ugh I need to give him a foot
Got loads lying around just haven't been bothered to bring one
True
WOOT
Yes actually, slightly lower than before.
Slightly.
So you're probably still unlucky
does the fairy box trinket have different ones looking ones that follow you because ive seen the blonde/green and now the brunette/purple fairy
does level 4 change it?
the tiering of my tools rn is quite funny. year 2 summer
should i just never upgrade my hoe
there are 4 different fairy sprites that are RNG per player/save
What about your trash can
my hoe and trash can havent been upgraded
i think ill do my hoe very last honestly lul
nah ill prob need it more on ginger island escapades
Drop chance went down from 4% to 3.5
From iridium nodes
Not sure any other drop chances changed
what couldve caused these 2 broccoli to wilt
yeah thats the only nerf to pshard iirc, no buff
Was there lightning the previous day?
Yeah it can smite crops. Less likely with lightning rods but there’s always a chance.
always a chance
Oh wow thats wild I never got this many prismatic shards in my last save
I havent gotten any from iridium nodes, but Ive gotten like 5 in total from omni geodes, and even some from monsters and Ive never gotten them from monsters before
5 from omni geodes is wild, blessed by RNGsus fr
and then there were 3
The Ticket Booth book, the Raccoon book, and the Squidfest book
can you only get the friendship 101 book form the ticket booth?
so much fiber
Now that I got a more modern phone, I can finally purchase Stardew Valley for the mobile. 
there is a chance for the friendship 101 book to show up at the Booksellers after year 3.
That was my gateway stardew
see thats what i thought
20,000g if I remember correctly, I just had it at my Booksellers recently.
Yeah but like literally all you need is to complete all the special orders to get the book as well which you can do before year 3 even starts lol
i cant find my Blessing Of The Butterfly
you could of course. Unless you forget to get it done in time and it takes longer. I just don't feel like doing that weeks special order sometimes.
so what is everyone's fave trinkets? and/or which ones have you found so far if you have them unlocked?
just a possum running at night? it was by the bus stop going to my farm lol
My fave is def the frog egg, though I wish the frogs dropped the loot from the mobs they eat
You also get tickets from some regular help wanted quests, most of which are very easy
Yeah I have noticed too. That helps get tickets faster.
I use the parrot egg a lot
I haven't found that one yet, hopefully soon 🙏
I've found the golden spur, magic quiver, and frog egg so far
magic quiver is really nice too tbh
Funning thing I noticed. Giving gifts to some people counts as talking to them, but it doesnt to other people
I think I’ve gotten all the trinkets atp
Frog egg, basilisk paw, the ice rod, fairy, etc.
very nice, mind sharing how you prepare your SC runs to get as many iridium as possible?
okay i am doing sc runs in the winter of year 1 i have made it to lvl 25 before and just got to lvl 8 combat i dont have alot of gold how can i prepare for an sc run that goes to lvl 50
no rings other than magnetic and glowstone
Honestly if you can, try and get/craft as many bombs as you can. Also take advantage of high luck days
You really never need to, it just saves time more or less
I have a level 4 Parrot egg with Hot Java Ring for advanced monster farming...
Robbing enemies blind fr
i feel like every time i go to SC on very lucky days, i also get more enemies than usual lol
hello does anyone knows the "best" day to go gathering hunt? iirc it was friday before because saturday spawn new ones but not sure if that changed in this update with that legacy thing
okay thanks
And Burglar Ring how did I forget that...
try thursday but thats only a guess
Sunday is when forageables respawn
oh so then saturday, thanks!
I got 2 in one set of like 40, its so wild
I've gotten 1 from omni geodes so far, and I also got one from the very first iridium node I encountered on my current save lol
for some reason i got iridium ore from a magma geode
Thats pretty normal ngl
If you drink a jug of mayo at the ||Trout Derby, the fisherman will react|| x) the first time he said "Did you just...?" (didn't manage to take a ss then) and the second time he will say "Why?!" 🤣
what're the best non-iridium pre-ginger rings for a crit loadout?
Probably aquamarine rings
Because they are the best rings for crit builds in general
i like working to my goals 🙂 i was hoping to get to lvl 10 on everything by the end of winter and to be doing sc runs which i am slowly just turned in wine last night so got money now 🙂
i will aslo have finished the cc room
are hammers the best crit weapons or is it daggers
Daggers
The Galaxy dagger per island and the iridium needle once you get the island
what's best with hammers then?
Galaxy hammer pre island and for crits the dragontooth hammer but the infinity gavel is better overall
Damage
I believe you'd want to go for damage with hammers yeah
would brute be the best profession?
No acrobat would
if anyone is playing rn could you send me a 1.6 screenshot of the pelican town map? i JUST realize the map i have is outdated (from the wiki) (also pls ping if someone does send the screenshot)
preferably with the summer or spring season
i would but i am in winter of yr1 of my new save
why are you bored?
spring might be better so you can save time and not sleep !!
do you mean this?
all my friends are offline :(
the actual map of the area
screenshot of all the buildings
this but 1.6
oh whats with all those red squares
its the middle of town
those squares show you where foragables could spawn
alot of stuff
oh i see the waterfall and the new area
why do some games have npcs that say smell that thats what a damn good time smells like my friend
?????????????
Yeah
an npc just said it my brother is playing diablo 4 on the xbox
and i think a path game did too
ah well back to stardew
bloon
i played btd5 as my childhood game so i just spelled ballon as bloon for a majority of my life
Real
is this from the new update?- my truffle was alive
Only 2 things really worth noting, The Book trader area and the secret path to the right of the minecart
the WHAT
Yes. Truffle crab
YOU CAN FINALLY GO THERE NOW????
Yes. And theres a nice surprise back there too 
barstew dally
what are these?
The entrance is behind the cherry blossom tree
yeah
it still drops truffles though
OOOOO
Dehydrated fruit & mushrooms
nah what did emily so to me
LITERATURE READING????

this game knows me so well
how do you find the rainbow?
k
Can you taste the rainbow?
🙂
Somewhere, in the game series that inspired this one, a kooky painter is excitedly shouting RAINBOW
i like rainbows 🙂
guys how do I make the endgame money grind less boring. it’s just waiting for machines to process my stuff. and picking up truffles twice a week.
Do other stuff meanwhile.
also I have more sheds than I know what to do with
Do some decorating (you have to look at your farm every day, so aesthetics have value)
they removed clay farming so i’m basically just waiting for the dig site clay nodes to restock otherwise it’s impossible to get a decent amount of clay for my brick flooring
i swear to god if this bookseller doesnt have the treasure appraisal guide im gonna throw him into the volcano
Treasure totem in the mine or quarry dungeon gives a lot of clay, I hear
that book is so OP, it makes iridium quality dino eggs sell for a crazy amount
does it even work there? i figured it would only work in places with artifact worms
and when i till there I mostly get cave carrots anyway
ooOoOOoo, i just wanted it to complete my special powers and books tab
Yes
Dungeons don't have proper loot tables for artifact spots, so you'll mostly get clay
oh word
Not that op
Use a Generous enchant on your hoe for extra
Barely makes dino eggs viable though which is nice
if you have a couple happy dinos in your coop, you’re gonna get a lot of iridium dino eggs
Now u can use the cool animal without feeling ur gimping yourself
theyre $2100 each
Bro they produce once a week
Thats $300/day
what’s the cool animal and what’s gimping
Gold mayo from a large egg is $399/day but requires processing in a mayo machine for reference
"whats gimping" 😭
the dinosaurs are ugly i’m working on a mod that changes them into something cuter
Dinos r still worse but theyre cooler and lazier
its not gaming related
Its a slang for handicap
its nsfw, but in this context its used like constricting or handicapping yourself
why would dinosaurs make me even more disabled
Previously without the book dinos were $100/day or a fourth as good as chickens
If u wanted to use coops of dinos for any reason you were basically killing your income entirely
Now they might still be worse but at least they dont suck
what should i put in my fourth big shed. I’ve got one for kegs, one for preserves jars, and one for furnaces
YESS I finally found the parrot egg!!! Lmao I was hunting for frozen geodes on floor 43. I always end up finding these things when I'm not looking for them
Level 4 too 😍
does anyone know how to get golden chickens?
Achieve perfection and you can either buy a golden egg to incubate, or wait around with an empty slot in a coop for a rare golden witch nightly event to spawn one for you
just curious is there anything that causes only one stall to be used at the desert festival instead of 2? Its just george all day lol
hmmm i’m not sure, are there any NPCs you have locked in their rooms?
or it’s possible a ginger island resort visit overwrites the desert festival in their schedule
tbh which crops it worth it to use dehydrators on?
Does anyone know if I place a frog egg in a jungle tank, I can take it out again? Just want to make sure before I do it
not that im aware of, but I havent unlocke ginger island yet
Tbh I'd set up a bunch of mushroom logs and use the dehydrators for those personally
Otherwise whatever fruit sells the most, since it triples the sell price
I was trying to make moss soup and I was so confused because it wouldn't let me make it (and I had enough moss) and I was scrambling around looking for if there was some weird bug or something...
I had a wedding veil in my hand (unbeknownst to me where I got it from) and I couldn't see it because it blended into the background 💀
I didnt do the clothing thing - I wonder if I ignore that and its supposed to be emily if itll remain empty
tbh is there an easy way to farm coal or should I just buy a ton from clint, I need coal for fish smokers
Dust sprites
coal year 1 is 150 which means that as long as the fish is worth more than 150 then I'll be making profit (I don't have artisan perk yet)
There's coal nodes that spawn in the quarry now, and also in the volcano mine
I grinded out fishing and got to level 10 by summer 12th
so now I can actually use smokers for tons of profit because of 50% increased fish sell price
it'll likely take until the end of summer for me to reach farming 10
I'm at farming 8 atm, and I'm about to start putting down a ton of kegs to use with hops
I really need to plant more oak trees because I only have 2 tapped rn
and I chopped almost all the trees on my farm
I'm starting to get some fish ponds for extra money, prob gonna fill them with super cucumber, sturgeon, and lava eel
so yeah it's going good for me
my current goal is to get the desert unlocked before summer ends
I'm just missing 1 book, and I'm not completely sure what it is
I could look it up but eh
possible
no
because one of the books is explicitly year 2 only
What is it exactly
marnie's catalog
well shit
this is annoying me so much, i love the addition but why
Try moving your cursor further away from sprite
Does any bobber other than curio bobber work on lava eels?
i scoured the town twice, i still couldn't find that prismatic butterfly;!!??!!
It's not confined to the town itself. It can be in the surrounding areas. Just not the Desert nor GI.
oh god it's in the quarry 🤦♂️
alrightt
I have around 6-7 Golden Animal Crackers stashed
What farm animals should I use it on
i know that grass stays in winter but does it spread in winter?
It does not spread in winter sadly :c
aw
good thing most of my farm is covered in grass
XD
do you think i have enough
oh hey my mayo is ready
I may or may not have cut down all of my normal grass spring year 1, and let all of my blue grass grow. My whole farm is covered in it now lmao
whoops didnt mean to spoil that in this channel
You can, but its unlocked via Qi's walnut room. So very late game.
ah okay
im only on fall year 1 rn so we have a bit to go LMAO
the closest ive gotten to ginger island in any of my saves is getting the quest to fix the boat
i didnt fix it yet :p
btw for the fee for passing out
is it calculated after the items youve sold the night before?
or is it calculated by the amount you had the day you passed out?
10% of how much you have, capping at 1k
turns out there's a bug with prize tickets
@valid hill You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
cool
?
anyways if you have multiple prize ticket quests for the same npc and turn them in at the same time you'll only get the ticket for the first quest
kinda annoying because I had 2 quests for the wizard to kill certan enemies and only one of them gave me the ticket
so uh
is that after the shipping profit?
or before
but I still got the money for both

that's not a bug
you get a ticket for every 3 tasks you complete
ignore whatever the quest reward says
oh
the actual bug is that the quest reward display is inaccurate
so it's every 3 quests from the quest board that makes sense
before
I've been kinda ignoring the quest board but I should probably start doing them
espeically if it's something easy like kill 3 ghosts
the only annoying part for me is needing to talk to the npc afterwards
prize tickets r pretty good
"I finally killed the 10 slimes and it's 11 pm."
talk to lewis
"WHY?!"
I've had it before where I completed a quests for catching 3 fish but I couldn't turn it in because demetrius' house was locked as it was like 9pm
generally i try to complete them day 1 for that reason
there should be a way to get the reward as soon as you finish the quest so that I don't gotta go find the npc on the map
cool I unlocked mystery boxes
I probably could've unlocked them way earlier but like I said I've been neglecting the quest board
it begins
please tell me my crops wont be negatively affected.
i ask because i just planted a red cabbage seed i got from the serpent 😭
Does anyone know if bombs were made more expensive with the dwarf?
if this is green rain no
yes they were
Thanks for confirming lol, I def thought so because Im in early game and I was like OOF when I was prepping for a SC run
I know this probably isn't mod related and just has to do with the update to 1.6 but I keep seeing messages at the bottom left of my screen that says something along lined of "someone" is in the spotlight or talking about todays special just curious to what these are.
...?
What challenges or self-goals are ya'll doing right now?
Never seen this, ever.
sounds like a mod thing yeah
trying to do year 1 desert festival
I asked this in the modded farmer feed and got told spoilers. But I'll try and get a picture
failing badly 😭
it might be you opening the game a certain amount of times?
It looked like it was saying someones username was in the spotlight and a type or recipe or item was today's special
Never seen either of those
that is definitely a modded thing
you were likely warned for spoilers because your screenshot or content also happened to include 1.6 stuff on top
I didnt have a screenshot at all though was just my initial message
Now that message is def mod related or the item its talking about is. But its different everytime
which mastery is best for the first choice u guys think?
Farming easily
cool thank u..
luck stat is the most important thing for jellies
where am i supposed to cast my line to get a goby? i know im supposed to catch it in waterfalls but thats it. i havent caught it at the top of them, or at the bottom, am i supposed to catch it inside the waterfall somehow?
Another one of the messages. So you all think this is mod related?
has anyone paid the parrot on ginger island for collecting the rest of the golden walnuts? i'm thinking about doing it lol bc i hate grinding for them but idk if i'm missing out on any cutscenes/friendship points/cool items
Back to the modded farmer page.
just caught it
this is where i caught it if anyone wants to know
I guess you leave me no choice:
LMAO
even with lucky ring my drop is pretty meh
waterfall where?
southernmost part of cindersap forest
its below the spot where you catch the glacierfish
east of mouse house and where u get the st patrick hat
ah
Does someone have a map for the location of the eggs on the egg festival for even number years?
Sorry i dont
i made an indoor garden

good time to farm for moss\
It seems like it
And I think it also retroactively expedites tree growths
yeah, I always plant a ton of trees the day before. A lot of them immediately grow to full
iridium scythe is so damn satisfying with crops lol
A meteor on the green rain day
is there any way to advance the enchantment cycle in the forge without spending prismatic shards? No matter what I do, I get the same enchantments I don't want on every item. I've been trying and reloading on each of them day after day
restart the day?
sounds like the Jordy Verrill life
"The spreading weeds have caused damage to your farm"
the urge to buy the remaining wallnuts on a non-joja playthrough but you wanna stay pure

I HAVE the money
but joja :(
yes but if u buy walnuts, ur giving morris money
pretty sure the green rain is supposed to be non-destructive
joking
I looked at the map.
Damn Robin is good at bending space-time
Is moss only obtainable thru the acid rain?
I got this statue recipe and I need more moss
Krobus please, we can't afford this habit of yours
He tooked the chair
yea, thats the main source, but you can also get it from the new tree seed, and occasionally I find the trees in the town randomly have moss on them
no not that tree
uhh, let me see if I can find it, its like a star shaped seed for the sapling
guys guys
girls girls
the moneys are finally starting to kick in
so true 🗣️
i just got 90k from a harves of unprocessed AF from ginger island :3
and it's not even the full field-
i lack the sprinklers i need and i aint gonna water that every day
...
lmfao
i can ballpark a guess
year and day?
Atleast 4
It's literally the Monty Python bridge scene.
"What is your name, what is your quest, what is your favorite color?"
Then the next one "What is the capital of Assyria"
srsly tho
well you can plant, and hope that they drop more seeds for more of the trees, better than nothing
year and day?
Year 3, Day 1 of the Desert Festival
Tru tru
Spring 15th
middle option
really? Its predictable?
im year 2 and i have like 240k steps
there's a step counter
oh, I thought you were able to know the right option based on the year
its just an axpproximation
as in the option number 1 2 or 3 was predictable
aint gonna be the lower option unless this player is a couch potato
its always whichever option has the middle number
the other 2 options will be double your stepcount and half your stepcount
I'm serious, it actually felt like that Monty Python bridge of death scene.
Every other question is easy, then they hit me with the "What is your step count?" which is a changing fact, the worst kind of fact
I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a let's play in a few months and it had that scene edited in
can crab pots capture cave jellies?
does anyone know the button to accept a prompt on pc? because i know to cancel or say no is e but idk how to auto accept a text prompt
i switched from switch to pc recently
i use the mouse so idk
you can't even put a crab pot in a cave to do that with even if pots could catch jellies (they can't)
does enter key not work
(i've never tried, i just click as well)
nope
idk then
the click is so annoying when grinding floors
i have to move my mouse all the way down
e auto declines that why i was wondering if there was a button to accept
do the arrows select stuff
I just experienced that ||green rain|| for the first time. I was not expecting it, such a treat!
Try Y
wonderous
Y or N is yes or no. There is no confirm for “ok” prompts like leaving a festival
e also works as no ive found
ah
It’s the same as no in all situations afaik though
yea
i do wish there was an opportunity to remap tho as my hands are unable to stretch that far
is there not a mod for that
probably but i have no experience modding and im playing on a very old gaming laptop
shouldn't matter
Use literally any remapping program
Autohotkey is what most use
I don’t have massive hands and y is very reasonable to reach, just requires getting used to it
does tackle make one has a higher chance to get cave jellies?
what does it mean an earthquake happened at night
railroad opened
u mean the train station?
w
I got good news and bad news about the desert festival
Is the update for console out yet 😭
Good news, your chests don't break when in the little cave leading to the Skull Caverns.
Bad news, the dangerous Skull Caverns can still be active
well yeah?
dangerous skull cavern's colour palette is an eyesore
I don't even remember what it looks like
Radio ore and galaxy souls p much
have u tried dangerous desert fes
whats this
Leo’s house
leo's house
ooo
wait what's the dangerous skull cavern?
dangerous mines but in the desert lol
Ngl didn't know Leo ever left the island
hard mode
End-game hardmode of sorts for the mines
That and significantly increased monster spawns
But I also rarely talked to leo
More monsters = more loot
ah ok
that change can't even happen until you've seen the cutscene of him moving...
Decently so, that doesn’t mean better loot though, most of the loot is the same bar special monsters
It's like in Terraria when you defeat the underworld boss, and then a new biome gets added, alongside a ton of new, relatively difficult enemies. Some familiar like a new jellyfish or slime, some completely new like the giant flying shell going straight for your forehead in the jungle watch ou-
dangerous desertfes not worth it imo
But instead of the whole world, it's just the Skull Caverns and you can toggle it
enemy spawnrate scales too fast in desertfes
Perfectly sums up Dangerous SC
Nope
Bruh 91% crit chance for iridium needle
Seems like highest crit chance is 91% with the new statue of blessings LMAO
how does dehydration compare to wine & jelly?
trades value for speed
Just recently checked the wiki on statue of blessings and it is insane
0.046 * 3 = 0.138
iridium needle innate crit (0.1) and add 0.03 crit chance from dragontooth. 0.138 + 0.13 = 0.268 crit
Since iridium needle is a dagger. 0.268 +0.005 * 1.12 = 0.30576
Multiply that with two aquamarine rings 0.30576 * 1.2 = 0.366912
Since blessing is additive. 0.366912 + 0.1 = 0.466912
With scout. 0.466912 * 1.5 = 0.700268
With 12 luck levels (2 lucky rings, rare fruit from desert festival, magic rock candy and qi seasoned ginger ale). 0.700268 * (1 + 12 * 0.025) = 0.9104784
So at 91.05% crit chance with iridium needle
can you have multiple statue of blessings and get multiple buffs
idk if +3 crit chance by dragontooth is the same as an addictive 4.6% but I'll assume its an addictive 3% chance. Still quite insane with iridium needle
oh
At this point you'd rather go 75 crit power with iridium needle
Desperado + 75 crit power on iridium needle would just one shot everything. 1.3k damage by crit...
Just recently checked the wiki on statue of blessings and it is insane

So at 91.05% crit chance with iridium needle
just so your message isnt full of slants
WTH my message slanted
too bad its a dagger
I love daggers
you must use a slant to destroy the slants
if you put * around text it'll italicize
Damn...
have to use a \ in front to stop it
also did you say "addictive"?
Yes. A 10% additive chance. It's calculated before scout
additive?
additive not addictive
Whoops mb
Damn I keep calling additive addictive...
tl;dr stack crit bonuses to make them go up
you add 10%, not multiply by 1.1
Should be fixed by now
Aren’t aquamarine rings additive
Wait no
Aquamarine rings are multiplicative
Statue of blessing is additive along with aquamarine enchants and possibly dragontooth
what is the difference
I was thinking forging yeah
Dragontooh?
Additive is add. Multiplicaitve is multiply
Innate enchantments
I dont remember there being a crit chance innate just crit dmg
Additive. 1 + 1 = 2
Multiplicative. 2 * 3 = 6
If i have 10% crit chance and add 10% i now have 20%
is there a recommended range of floors in dangerous mines for radioactive nodes?
If i have 10% crit chance and multiply it by 1.1 i now have 11%
There is
I must be really unlucky then
Reset level 1 over and over
Depth barely matters
Prioritize high daily luck though
kk thanks!
Hmm should I go for 79% crit chance and 1.3k damage by crit or 85% crit chance for around 400 damage by crit?
More dmg doesnt help if said dmg doesnt do anything
(For someone in the mines, for sc it could maybe be argued if you want to ladder buffer downwards instead of just level 1)
FYI this is by adding and multiplying crit chance. Differences is between them is innate enchants. One has 75 crit power and the other is a +3 crit chance
Hmm. I wanna put up a guide to my jelly farming strats on Reddit (I don't think the wiki is the appropriate place, considering these are highly technical rather than general knowledge), but Reddit has a spoiler rule for 1.6 stuff. This is a problem. Not sure what to name the post.
You can put them on the discussion pages on the wiki tbh, or on the forums (the Reddit isn’t very technical at all)
Been keeping my iridium needle for some time and still can't decide. Both are damn good
I mean, if its good enough, you could put it on the wiki itself
Nothing in stardew has over 1050 hp so doing more than 1050 hp is mostly useless
I tend to fight royal serpents alot so...
Damn a hard choice
I mean it’s not that hard, you get 4x the damage for a slightly higher chance to crit
got a question regarding an auto petter
got lucky on my first skull cavern chest
but not sure the best place to farm for another one
Fair I might go +3 crit chance by dragontooth enchant
That is the only place to farm it without joja route
crits average 700 dmg so like, thats usually more than enough
does the shrine challenge increase chances of treasure rooms?
or does it matter what version im on
Been testing both builds and both shred like crazy. It's a matter of preference
Luck stat is what matters for treasure rooms
You can get stuff that’s higher with double stacked danger sc, or just plain special purple slimes, etc.
Wear two lucky rings
^
Rabbit foot charm powerup
special charm
Pay attention to daily luck
Ginger ale
Another lucky ring, ginger ale, desert fest buff, statue of blessings. For daily luck the lucky charm and high daily luck day
Desertfes food buff
got that
One is objectively better though
Damn imagine if CA adds another item that boosts crit chance...
Statue of Blessing sometimes increases your luck
does it matter what difficulty of the mine i pick
kinda?
True, but I hardly find any differences
Very minimally
Been using both and they shred with zero effort
Sure but on paper one is better in basically every regard and there isn’t really any downside
so just pick a very lucky day
and then should i staircase down?
fair
Mhm
or just bomb down with all the luck modifiers on?
Both the lucky day and luck buffs
And ideally staircase
Also just reset the day if you don’t get a couple
reset the day if i get no staircase
sorry treausre rooms*
would i be able to do it that same day or does it stay the same for the day
the same day, just reset and go back down again right away
spoilers I guess because of the winter outfits...?
oh god, not two Clints 
I don't use this strategy but a number of players do in order to cut down the length of time to get the dang autopetters
is it the most effective method?
Looks like it focused on the wrong section of the sprite sheet
it seems a bit scummy to do, but petting everyday is very annoying
reset at the end of the day if you don't get the autopetter from the treasure rooms.
You dont need to use spoilers in this channel anyways, but lmao hes multiplying
I'm not playing modded btw I think this is a bug
probably
A common bug among sprites/textures for games
now if im co-op how does luck work there
btw for the quest of qi asking for 4 prismatic shards do we need to find 4 when the quest is active or put 4 that we had in hand works?
I think I average one autopetter out of every 5-6 runs on best of luck days with all the luck buffs, so it's very understandable why many players go for the reset
this is new update spoilers
how is he performing mitosis
"oh look a prismatic shard, sigh, not an autopetter"
Theres also a bug I found where Casks in the basement will continue pulsating even after you take a product out of it
in 1.6, you have to find 4
yeah when I click on him to view the special animations from having hearts on NPCs and noticed that his actually also clips out of the box lol
SC will be more difficult in co-op, as its time dilation effect will not be in play. Also time will continue to pass during screen transitions and load time
the anim where he is hitting the anvil or something
Buuuuut when I went to SC in co-op back in 1.4, ladders/pits spawned extremely commonly. I suspect the game was doing RNG rolls for both players in the SC for each attempt to spawn an exit, leading to nearly twice as many exits
wonder if that still holds in 1.5/6
Indeed...
To be absolutely clear, both of us were delving SC together. It might have not done that if only one of us was delving while the other was farming or fishing or logging or... regular mining
Its definitely fixed in 1.5, idk if its changed since though
Darn.
would you buy 10 perfection waifers (5M gold) or gold clock (10M gold) lmao
I bought the clock, no waivers.
1 gold clock=10% btw
I'd get the clock for the hell of it using funni ancient wine money
im considering the right thing too
Gold clock duh. Who cares about the money, no more weeds & dying fences forever is clearly better
there's something to be said for one playthrough w/ no waivers and another one that's joja + as many waivers as you like
I keep forgetting fences can break because I never use them until the redecoration phase... Which tends to be around the time i have infinite income
Can you get 100% perfection solely from waivers
No
By the time either option is affordable money tends to be a non issue imo
I put down hardwood in year 1 and got the clock well before they started to deteriorate
You get partial perfection just reaching the walnut room
Darn, pure joja shill run not possible
I use them up until I get auto-petters. Which, its very unfortunate I dont have any yet starting Y3
well you can not get the walnuts yourself and pay the bird but I guess that still gives you score
I think max waivers is 3+97%? I think Sicarious was actually theorycrafting a max-waivers run and it is infuriatingly limiting
U also cant ship or craft or kill anything
Because you have to actively avoid EXP or else you gain skill levels
The bird is worse actually. For minimum percent, you want the minimum walnuts required
should i buy or make explosive ammo
99 max xp in every level
Or talk to anyone or participate in any festivals or level up
Both
right, and you can't tell the bird "uh just get me up to 100 please"
why is it so expensive tho
Because its OP lol
I think Sicarious mentioned it is possible to gain one level in one skill without gaining a Perfection point.
Which still means no way to build kegs/jars/etc
At that point money is pretty irrelevant
Eh, I'm nearing Ginger Island and I'm still burning through cash as fast as I get it
What xp do you get from talking to people???
Relationship points are worth Perfection points
That's a perfection thing
Have to keep the relationships low
At a max relationship
You cant build relationships with anyone
...You can solve this by just pouring sap into their hands tho
Wait, but yeah dont only good relationships count for the Percent
Just give a hated gift (stone or sap or something) if you gain a heart by accident
I think negative relationship points are possible, especially via slingshot
So it's fine
is there any downside to buying all of the wallnuts with joja? cuz like idk if I'm in the mood to grind them out
Luau festival to mass ruin relationships
No yeah, Great friends for Perfection only goes up if you’re at max non-dating hearts with a character
Yeah, farmer level is what actually gives you perfection score, and farmer level only increases for every 2 levels you gain
Acquiring sap for this theoretical run would be quite difficult
Yup. You could slingshot trash at them though
Acquiring the slingshot would likely give you a mining level though
How do u do xp less mines
All the good money-making methods require stuff from SC treasure floors
hit rocks that don't give you xp, reset the day if you get too much coal, etc
5 levels at a time
Very very slowly 
Dont rocks just give u xp in general
Only outside
there's a class of stone that don't
In the mines, regular rocks give nothing unless they coincidentally drop coal
I see
I thought you get 1 xp if it drops stone
nope
That is, again, only outside
Damn
There are specific grey rocks that do that inside. Those are actually stone ore nodes
The Miner perk even makes them give more stone
So... just don't hit those
Lowest perfection also means no crafting. Which means no storage and no tool upgrades
iirc the ones that look like rock crabs and similar, those are safe except if they drop coal
Actually, because relationships are still on the table, you could still rely on NPC gifts to both earn money and get supplies
its even possible to get mining lvl 10 without touching a piece of rock lol
I should probably ask...
I'm up to 24 iridium bars at the end of Fall. I can complete the CC as soon as RNG allows (Winter Forage and Nautilis Shell), meaning Ginger Island opens soon.
With 5 iridium going towards the boat, what should I prioritize with the other 19?
have you upped your tools yet
Crystalarium maybe
sprinklers?
To gold. Not to Iridium yet. Part of the question is which tools to upgrade first
I might, though I do plan to just buy them from Krobus
Fair
you can buy like one per week, no?
I would go pickaxe, make your volcano and skull cavern trips a bit quicker when you're not bombing the **** out of everything (and in volcano dungeons you want those dragon teeth so bombs arent' always the great thing)
Yeah, today marks the fourth or fifth I can buy from him
Iridium band maybe
Alright, that's 5 earmarked for the pick. 14 left...
iridium band is great
Ooh right, I need to get to Combat 10 in a hurry
...From 7. Ugh
yeah two iridium bands merged with the secondary rings of your choice tbh
Pan might be worth considering now
I presume you'll make beeline for the forge once available
For getting more iridium ore
I feel like teeth are much easier to get now. i got like 20 while hunting for shards lmao
Wtheck, ive never gotten this much stuff before, golden chest without treasure lure
they were still pretty slow for me, and I went after every lurker I could too
U can get some pretty silly amount of iridium easily from digsite iirc
From panning?
I got lucky with dragon skeletons
Yes
I'd say that about 40% of the time when I see a dragon skel there are no teeth. some thief got there first
Having an animal cracker Stingray pool also helped loads
Maybe dragon dentists just fucking suck at their job
really awful insurance in the dragon realm
Blame Qi
not enough hazard pay for those people.
Alright, so... 5 iridium bars for the boat, 5 for the pick, and 14 bars left. Maybe two crystalariums (4 bars), one more tool such as possibly the pan (5 bars), and... maybe 5 sprinklers to speed things along on the island farm? 
Im no expert at the game, but compared to my friends who also have the game, Im basically a pro, and its so entertaining talking about how I make 150k from just pineapples per week
I might. In this case I was told that panning at the island gets surprisingly good iridium rates
Blows their minds
no iridium bands?
i make 120k+ every day from iridium bars
i see...
this is true, it shocked me tbh
Would have to wait for combat 9, I think?
REAL
mongus
what level are you at now?
sorry wrong server
Just got to 8 like a day or two ago
WTF
I thought it was 7 but then remembered I crafted explosive ammo
hold enough in reserve for one band and spend the rest then
you'll be getting more pretty fast anyhow
Did that clown not practice his juggling at all in the past year. Wow.
Perhaps I should. I'd better look up how much it costs
Inevitably, I'll fish one up right after I craft the damn thing... But it won't happen until I do craft it, so I'll need to spend the iridium anyway
Sandy decided to take a break from work for once lmao
5 iridium.
The bigger problem for me is 50 solar essence but I guess I can just buy it from Krobus across a number of days when I get close to Combat 9
Hilariously, Ive had two bands my entire run because I fished up two in Y1 Spring lmfao
In my case, my funny beginner's luck went to the Broken Trident. Carried me down the mines until the Obsidian Edge.
RIP I had like 60 by the time I could craft the ring because the game thought it was funny to throw like 30 ghosts at me
U get a surprisingly large amount of all ore + geodes/artifacts
thats crazyyy
I think digsite pan spots respawn every half hourish?
omg me w neptune's glaive...... i fished it up with a speed enchant of like +6 and that thing carried me all the way until the galaxy sword
So can pick up like two dozen in a day or so
More with higher tier pan
Idk the exact rates but an iridium pan has a rather high chance to make panning spots instantly respawn, chainable
I also had this happen me one day. I got even more after taking this photo
Lucky ring chance is also pretty high with that many pans in a day lol
I gotta figure out how I'll ration Clint's time, then, as I have to upgrade my hoe and can from scratch too.
first good luck day with the iridium pan I got a lucky ring. it was that easy
Hey, did anyone ever find the secret that was mentioned in the stardew valley cup?
(plus a pile of other stuff)
Stardew valley cup?
CA mentioned there being a largely-obsolete message in the game that was never found
Wonder if it still exists
5:37
when did he say it?
the thirst for undiscovered content fuels my craving of exploration and discovery
I dunno and looking at the timestamp reminded me to look at my clock and I should have been asleep hours ago
damn
It's done
Thats sick
It's not, now you need the other statue on the right side
But still impressive
lessee there's 5 I think statues that need to find a place in your layout, so you have 1/5 (excluding Lewis)
it'll be obtained when I get to the summit
cool
should you dehydrate or jar your blueberries
if you have enuogh preserve jars, do that, if you don't, dehydrate
dehydrate is basically "I don't have enough kegs/jars to process all this stuff, lemme do something better than selling it raw" and it gets you the money very fast, which can be invested into getting more jars/kegs
Does anyone know if statue of blessings can stack? Like can I have multiple?
I dislike the preserve jars ever since dehydrators came. Takes so long and ye it costs 5 but faster
you can build them multiple times but you don't get anything better/more, no. save yer resources
Kk thank you!
Okay, can people tell me whether the strategy in https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Sea_Jelly is sufficiently clear?
A tragedy has befallen me... (joking)
the cow decal would be perfect inside the barn 
I think it's clear as water
Training rod -> sea jelly -> other rod -> fish -> training rod... etc etc etc
now I'm wondering if there is a mod lol
does anyone know how fairy box levels scale with the amount of healing it provides?
yo can you make sea jelly bait
test it?
is there an algorithm? i could test it but there could already be an existing resource
It's on the wiki
Seaweed and green algae are also in the fish section and aren't fish either
thank you!
idk,maybe it doesnt have bait as its kinds like trash or sm that doesnt need bait
iór doesnt have
so.. the more damage you deal and the more damage you receive, the more you heal?
if ur right but I wish they were treated like normal fish just make them jellyfish’s
oh sorry i think i mixed smth up
?
Yes, but also it does scale with fairy level in both amount and frequency
no it was a separate topic my mistake
i take it you cannot outheal damage without dealing some damage of your own, then?
For very small amounts of damage it's possible
oh k
i see.. thanks for the infop
It's all on the wiki - amount healed scales as the cube root of all damage dealt and received. So if you receive 27 damage, your unscaled healing will only be 3
multiplied by healing power, plus or minus 25%?
Yup
no wonder the healing felt so variable
It rounds down at the end on that +-25% as well
i would have expected it to round up but thats good to know
So like, level 3 fairy, you've taken and dealt a combined 1000 damage since last heal, you will be healed for somwhere between 7 and 12 HP
i see... thats good to know, thank you!
aggresive healing.. haha
hm.. i just got a parrot egg... it seems alright
It's also a secondary benefit to the higher level fairies that they heal more often, because it means they're breaking up the damage into smaller chunks
Which is nice due to the cube-root scaling
does it also mean that the -25% is less punishing overall?
If there is anything i have learnt from Terraria, is that something which (pretty much) naturally heals you is a Yobasend
Not really, that's just linear scaling
Best animal to give golden crackers to?
golden chickens if you have them, otherwise i think it might be sheep
is it better than free money though....
But yeah I was thinking sheep or rabbit
Golden Chicken > Sheep (with Shepherd) > Ostrich > Lava Eel Pond > Cow
I gave it to my cow first, since I needed the milk for my last few bundles / cooking recipes
Okay well I have shepard so it works out
Rabbit is a decent pick if you have a use for the rabbit feet
what about without shepherd?
Sheep are much lower then
Rather have the cloth I guess
Sheep are literally twice as good with Shepherd vs. without
Fair enough, but I prefer not dying and having to spend that money on getting a single item back that I lost, then I can't go back in the mines for the rest of the day.
WAit no I took coopmaster oops
aa tfair enough
I was thinking of swapping to artisan anyways so
I will just hold onto my cracker for now I guess
Or give it to a cow
im kind of conflicted on trinkets to be honest.. theyre all pretty alright
Everyone knows that the prismatic hair gel is the best trinket
I guess I will give it to my fav cow as I was thinking of doing before
If only the Terraria crossover was the inner tube, then we can go swimming to those bubble spots that we couldn't reach normally!
Is Sturgeon pond better than cow
Oh sorry wrong message
You know what its fine
I will get more crackers and I want this one particular one to have it
im pretty sure the lava eel pond in general is just better than sturgeon
Yeah but I don't want to bother doing another pond
fair enough
yes, by the way, a full fish pond of sturgeon is better than a single cow
Yeah but i don't like the sturgeon
i kinda wish the meowmere was a trinket
then just feed it to whstever you want
the game is meant to be fun, after all
Yeah already did a I mentioned
like imagine if it made attacks emit a bouncing cat particle instead of being a somewhat boring sword
Sorry this was my bad, I meant to say cow instead of "one"
alright then!
Imagine if the cat gave you a Terraria-sprited Joja Cola, like "Here's your trash back, cya"
"I know it's not your fault, but tell Joja not to pollute our waters too"
imagining this going the other way where the dryad just hands you a stardew sprited small meowmere thats literally Just A Broadsword
terraria has worse problems than joja
Not my fault my character doesn't know how to properly eat a stardrop and permanently boost their maximum energy mana
theoretically the terrarian has infinite energy
and theoretically the farmer has infinite mana
infinite mana, just has narcolepsy
kent as usual shipping me a bomb
its a good thing kent lives in a small town.
Would be pretty bad if you had to light a torch to read the letter at 1:30 AM for some reason
exactly how implied is the narcolepsy
look, in all my other games the player character doesnt need to sleep at all
they just POWER THROUGH
im pretty sure thats simply because of the sheer scale of narcotics running through the mcs veins
Fair enough. The Forest's protagonist has a stamina / sleep meter, but just eat a few energy snacks and blast some tunes for a few seconds and you are good
but in stardew most of our strength comes from upgrades
trying to make a 2d game in a 3d game is making my head spin
you guys have no idea how difficult it is to process the transition between the beach and pelican town
seriously though when does the sand start
TIL you actually start gathering mastery points before you enter the cave
im streaming the build so far if you wanna see just how stupid it is 😭
also I got mastery in summer 26 someone please beat that
Yeah, I was so worried I was 'wasting' all my xp before maxing out my final skill, only to enter and see I already have a chunk of mastery
you did waste before maxing out your final skill, but after you get it there is no waste
I have like 100k mining xp rn that does nothing
If you want to pass out, look at the world map and consider where Robin's shortcuts would be
sorry im in game right now haha oops!
year one..? goddamn
i got it summer y1 in the volcano dungeon
Specifically the one leading from Leah's cabin to the left side of the beach
its okay!! i only offered to let you know if you did want to see it 
wait this changes everything for me
someone probably already has
Oh, right, that was the other thing I was worried about, glad to know which one exactly that contributed lol
foraging sucks ass though
yea I'm pretty sure, I just want to see how far you can push it
desert fest books
foraging is kind of annoying because theres not many quick ways to up that skill
grinding floor 81 for fiber to turn into tree ferts lul
i guess the desert festival is nice? i dont know how viable that is for foraging exp though
even tree fertilizer takes 5 days
I haven't tried it but theoretically 9000 xp is possible
what about the other 6k?
fair enough haha
I was planting about 100 trees at the railroad so 1300 xp every 5 days hence summer 26
ig the target for desert fest is at least 4800 xp to get tree ferts
why is this crystal cave puzzle so fucking fast at least go slow if i need to memorize a sequence of 7
it slows down if you get it wrong
record it 
that too
What's crystal cave? Can't find anything in the wiki 😮
it should be on the golden walnut page
it's a goldne walnut puzzle
