yeah lol
brainwave
It is time... second mastery
nice!
oohrah
I'm inclined towards combat jsut 'cause I'm lazy as hell to go to the beach, then willy's, then volcano xd
And the trinkets yea, the trinkets-
wait can u only do one at a time
i havent gotten there yet
(not afraid of spoilers tho)
No you just kind of complete them
neat
There's a bar you need to fill and you just pick one
what do you do to fill up the bar? i thought they had individual bars that filled with their kind of xp
or maybe like related items
Just skill leveling pretty sure
ic
I just go to SC and it levels up quite quickly
do i want pumpkins cranberries or something else
and dehydrate them?
absolutely
Are there certain fruits that are better to dehydrate than to sell directly or make into jam/wine? I have not used the dehydrators much yet and haven’t done the math
i think generally dehydrated fruit does sell for less than if you were to use a keg/preserves jar. but at least imo the tradeoff comes in the fact its always ready the next day
and they dont take up nearly as much space since you need 5 fruit/shroom per machine
but if you dont mind waiting and the space i believe kegs and preserves jars are most of the time more profittable
dehydraters are great for fruits you have an abundance of like cranberries or blueberries
not always, but its a LOT of crates that could potentially have good shit
ah right
does it work w/ forageables too idr
so like salmonberries?
Hi
yeah! itd work for salmonberries
See this
I would just eat the salmonberries but yes they can be dehydrated
Gems of the Sea
It's in Spanish but it's crimson fish roe
The fish roe book works for legendary fish too
When you fish it with the probability book that it will give you eggs
wait what thats crazy
tbf once ur like mid-game, depending how well you did in Y1 after Y2 salmonberry season u got so many in abundance and ideally better food options w/o havin to spam eat 20+ berries
By y2 you have Bear's Knowledge which makes them worth more raw than dehydrated anyway
My heart feels warm
Maru and her dad's favorite
Yea, that too
I'm already max with Demetrius because of the shell fiasco but his daughter- yea
oh rly? whats the price dif with dehydrated vs bears knowledge im curious
accidentally put 2 golden animal crackers in my pond... heartbreaker
It’s sooo satisfying
Frr
Iridium scythe my beloved
So useful for massive starfruit harvests
You can put them in the pond!?
Yeah fish produce double
Damn
yes you can. double your roe, double your squid ink, double your fun...
I've got like 6 already, might pop one in my pond
or if you have a stingray pond, that's a chance for double dragon teeth
wait you can use more than 1 on ponds? damn
up to how many?
It doesn’t do anything
It just wastes any subsequent ones
what 😭
you only get benefits from one cracker. the other one is wasted
no i just mean like why
More than 1 does nothing
Why what?
because double is enough, more than that would throwthings out of balance in the game
NO I MEAN
why wud the game even allow u to throw more than 1 in a pond
feels like an oversight
Probably is
why can we lose the rusty sword if it's our only weapon? dunno but there it is. not the way I'd have done it but hey, one person did most of the work for the entire game, so there's some bugs or weird things, well every game has those I guess
no i get it
But you can't put more than one on normal animals right? Hopefully it gets fixed in the next patch
I don't know if you can give more than one. You won't get more bonuses, that's for sure. But I didn't want to waste a cracker trying to test
im starting to feel like the cave jelly doesnt even exist
ive been hunting for just 1 for half a week in game
Lvl100
animals can only consume a single cracker luckily
it does. just use two dressed spinners, or one if you dont have the advanced rod yet
I figured it’s because for some cheap price you can get a wooden one anyway
floor 100 of the mines, lucky day and luck buffs, and you'll get a few
only once you're a member. if you lose the sword before you kill those 10 slimes, you are really truly screwed
I guess you would need to scythe them
which trinket do you guys think is best??
what do you even do with all of the extra rooms you can build for the farmhouse
uh huh, or hope you get Neptune's glaive from a chest, it took me 3 seasons to get that though and I fished a lot. (disclaimer: I did not lose my rusty sword, but I didn't get any good drops either)
i enjoy the one that shoots freeze at enemies because crowd control
decorate! dining room, kitched, living room, bedroom, kids' room, sitting room off the bedroom, aquarium, and a little nature area
oh interesting.. I just got the parrot egg. It's nice I guess since you get ton of gold but other than that nothing much.
i am yoinking that screenshot for reference
Nice set up!!
i have negative creativity 
omg yknow what im gonna do is actually get the kids room and use it for my frog sanctuary!
there's lots of good ones out on the subreddit, or maybe in here, the farms-and-outfits channel? so check 'em out
I look forward to seeing your frog sanctuary pics soon!
ty! i just need a spot for the aquatic sanctuary its so damn big
I kid you not. I think I just got the Ice Rod from killing the little ginger island volcano water monster.. and it just dropped in the water.
I have a friend who is playing Stardew for the first time and romancing Haley, and he looves decorating. So when she asked him what he wanted to do in her nice cozy little darkroom, guess what he picked.
i use cheat mods for BS like that
@sour orbit You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
just respawn it when the nonsense occurs
true
He was super disappointed it didn’t actually let him decorate the darkroom.
Where did all the beds go in the furniture catalogues
I dunno, I saved every item I picked up from the farmhouse until being sure it was in the catalogue though
just in case
I gotta divorce Sam, marry penny to get the strawberry bed and then divorce her 😭
also heres my house currently
BRO
NAW
😭 rip
a whole lot of heavy duty processing going on there I see
yeaahh hehe i like keeping most of my machines in my house
i see alot of pple prefer them outside
I have them in a shed next to the stable and farmhouse. and a few machines in the cellar
i have all my animal product machines in a shed and some kegs in my basement
more or less accurate as to buildings and use of the space, though the tree count is low in this pic
Not sure yet what I will do regarding animals. I have the riverland farm so not much room
the cheese presses are in the left side of the barn with a little fence, there's only 12 so they don't take much room. more than enough for my needs though. mayo, a few in each of the two coops, also on the left side. preserve jars, looms, dehydrators and the like are in the cellar, with casks around the walls, I generally don't use the casks though
the four sheds in the middle right, those are full of kegs
Amusingly Lewis was like, “How are things going at Moistness Farm? I would hate to see the old place dried up.”
I was like, “dude, that would probably be an improvement.”
then the shed near the coops is full of 3x3 garden pots with the multiharvest crops. and that about gets it, the few chests I have outside are ok I guess
has anyone tried yet to see if you can build on Ginger Island now? You can build on mod farms now so I was wondering if you can also build on GI
Dont think so
not in vanilla anyways
Drat. Would've been nice to have Junimo huts and maybe a dedicated Ostritch barn. Ah well
I'd love a shed or two over there, why not? but nope
Junimo huts and deluxe retaining soil ancient fruit would be so overpowered
lol, so true
Can you only catch the octopus at the night market now?
No
no, you can catch it in the normal season etc too
Dang I must just be getting unlucky
you could... see if the traveling cart has it and make targeted bait
you're fishing during the right time, right? before 1 pm?
Yup winter since 8am on the docks
well shoot. yeah dunno, just keep at it I guess, could try a quality bobber and see if that helps any
Willy decided to be a butt and NOT WORK TODAY
😭
I did fish up a golden animal cracker and a shrimp cocktail in the same golden treasure chest tho
It costs 1 mil for the island obelisk kill me now please
keep one as a collectible!!
Willy was like “hey catch me a lingcod” and the next day my cat was like “GUESS WHAT I FOUNDDDD”
wait until you see how much the golden clock costs 😛
poor
Lmao
the early game is always a struggle. eventually that money will snowball though
this
Although I'm hopefully going to come in to another 500-700k in 13 days, yippee 300 starfruit and 760 pumpkins
also wtf is the raccon doing
nice nice
should i help it?
What percentage of crops are usually silver/gold quality?
yes, there's an achievement
depends on your farming level and on fertilizer
level at harvest, including food buffs btw
Do statue of blessings stack if u make more than one?
Idk why that looked so aggressive lmao
Thank youuu
i have a question if yall could help me
Sure
do you know if on ios is gonna be new updates? (sorry for my bad english)
Yes it’s getting the update but no date is set yet I believe
I know that 1.6 is coming to mobile and consoles, and it is in progress, we do not have a date or an estimate yet.
Ughhh do I bother turning my starfruit into wine or do I just make immediate profit
Maybe I'll turn the regular quality ones into wine, and sell/gold silver for profit
Primarily I just want profit for the obelisk, bloody annoying to get to ginger island without it
put as much into kegs as you can, starting with the base quality fruit. then sell the rest outright if you need to jumpstart getting more materials for jegs
got your dragon teeth all lined up?
hm better get on that!
Gonna get a stingray pond for them I think
Is ancient fruit or starfruit better for greenhouse?
depends on you. I've done both and both will turn a tidy profit, ancient fruit takes longer to get going, but then you never buy seeds again. however you must harvest every week. starfruit requires you to buy seeds each harvest but every two weeks
So if I've done my maths right, I should make 610k by the 14th of fall (I didn't get some pumpkins watered day 1 so)
And then I simply purchase more starfruit and more pumpkins, and repeat
start layig in wood, oak resin and whichever ore for the kegs too
This is by selling outright all my starfruit, it's around 300k if I only sell gold/silver iirc
ok, ive got ancient fruit so im keeping them for now because they are already full grown with fertalizer
Yup, I got maybe 25 kegs rn, hoping to double that and build a shed to house them by the time my crops are done
I'll keg whatever I can and probably keep another 100 for kegging, sell the rest
@remote ridge so its bc I have shane as bf rn, but i havent got a scene with the ||blue chick||, I heard you need to have that, to be able to buy the|| shane chick||, do you know what I have to do, to force that scene? Have been with him for 2months soon and I just want the ||chick|| so i can break up with him again xd
That isn't 1.6 fyi
This is the primary use case for dehydrators
Isn't 1.6, but I'll have a check on the wiki
Some heart events usually require the affected NPC to be present at the location they happen at
Hii! Good morning its 4am
Unfortunately idk the profit on dehydrated starfruit as the wiki isn't updated for it
Its whatever gold quality sells for + 5
Oceania?
And artisan applies
Mm okay
You don't need to date him to be able to access the blue chickens, I got one and I'm married to someone else!
oh! I totally thought it was 😮
The blue chickens have been around since the last version ww
Then ill break up asap, i dont think sebby would like me to have another bf lol xd
You need the 6 heart event first
Try going in Marnie's ranch first thing in the morning (if you've done the previous heart events like Amnayel said!) and I believe that cutscene will occur
Doesn't his 6 heart event require rain? Or am I wrong
artful on a sword would be worst
It'd be far more useful than bug killer actually
Wouldn't loose too much time with mummies and ghosts
reset floor 1 of skull cavern or 85 95 and 105 in the regular mines
Just finished this dive into the sc! No prismatic shards but I'm pretty happy with this loot 😄
Still no autopetters though rip. I've gotten so many autograbbers and seed makers 😩
Not really no, most people never bother with blocking as it’s a largely useless function
Blocking twice as often is far less useful than bug killer as bad as that is
- what is that green thing
- what is that blue egg
- what is that stick with blue at the end
- what is that golden cow thing
- what is that quiver
I NEVER block with my sword, so artful is extemely useless
Most are trinkets and the gold cow is a golden animal cracker
uh guys how to slime hutch
All of them are trinkets unlocked with combat mastery, they grant different abilities. The golden cow is an animal cracker, unlocked with farming mastery I believe.
i'm brain dead
Go to robin and request it be made
Then what do you want
Every 5 slimes within makes a slime ball daily with the use of one water
fuck I spent all my batteries for crystalarium what's the fastest way to get batteries for willy's boat without waiting for storm RNG
Yeah
ok uwu
Iridium bats
can you still get skull cavern rewards from gil during the desert festival if you pass out inside?
I thought some new npc trade bars for battery kek
Some people like pam can gift them
What's the quickest way to get Cave and Ocean jellies?
No
deluxe bait?
Level 100 mines for the cave and minimum casting at the beach
sicarious updated their respective wiki pages I think, go check them out
Also using training rod
how hard is it to get the 55 rating for the magic rock candy?
Not very hard
Im only around level 40ish in the mines. If I bumrush to level 60 would that be worth it over fishing in level 20?
Only requires getting to about level 150-170 so long as you’re getting the statues along the way
or is there much of a difference
Level 60 would be better probably
Cool thanks
Supposedly you need to catch a fish before you catch a jelly so isn't switching between normal and training rod more efficient
It’s a bit more complicated than that
do the chef's special foods stack with normal foods
OMG I JUST GOT THIS ON THE 2ND REROLL
Yes
+7 luck is going to be funny
I've been saving up my iridium bars so I could reroll frog eggs, and I got a prismatic frog on the 2nd try 😭 😭 😭
please let me go to skull caverns ever, "spirits".
FIVE INGAME DAYS WHERE IS THIS OCTOPUS
other than the galaxy souls, what do you guys consider to be the next best purchase at the qi's shop?
The town key
I don’t consider the souls to be a good purchase
well just the first 3 for my sword.
You can get them in dangerous mines
How do I get to the dangerous mines?
Qi quest
ohhh I've done that. I just get the radioactive bars. I guess I could trade those
Heavy tapper is worth considering if u wanna mess with mystic trees
Me: ok lil sis, don't sell too much alright?
Also lil sis:
Blocking?
Isn't crusader just more dmg to mummies, ghosts and stuff tho ?
And no need to use bombs to kill mummies
Ah, the person edited their comment 💀 it said "crusader"
I'm not commenting on artful
Yeah i meant artful but said crusader at 1st
Yea, I just wasn't talking about artful
I love my frogs so much 
Man nothing more frustrating than having a max luck day during Calico Fest, having everything you need, and somehow doing worse than the last two days
i will bomb them
Thats not very nice
Uh rude
sorry my bad
um i just got a battery pack from a drop by a big purple slime, its nowhere on the wiki, wonder if its new or just not on there
Does sparkling a casket with fairy dust makes the wine silver or iridium quality?
i will mega bomb them instead
Goes up 1 rarity
wow I was gonna say its fine but never mind
Generally not worth it except for gold -> iridium wine
If u can remember to use dust on gold wine u profit a bit and get to shove two more cycles of wine into a year
so what's the best use for fairy dust?
This
Or if u need a rush order of a processed item for a quest or something ig
Generally just not really worth using fairy dust if the goal is money
yeah honestly rush orders for quests or if you need the money asap is probably the best use of fairy dust? Otherwise, I can find other stuff to do while I wait
one time I had everything done for perfection except the things involving radioactive ore/bars cuz qi wouldn't give me that quest
If u need money asap the answer wouldve been not to make fairy dust in the first place
I mean thats true
The stuff u used for fairy dust would sell for more than whatever u use the dust on
so I got some fairy dust so I could smelt it and craft that stuff instantly
so I could finally be done with the file
I was more thinking along the lines of if you already had some fairy dust from a reward or something
these days fairy dust can be collected from prize tickets and mystery boxes
gotta craft everything for perfection
which I will do at some point lol
And from the raccoons wife for 1 mystic syrup!
she has a name you know
Joja 
im not sure what it is but surely she has one
That falls under things that sell for more than whatever the dust is worth
Buy fairy dust with mystic syrup
Use fairy dust on mystic tree tapper
Get instant mystic syrup
Buy fairy dust with mystic syrup
Infinite syrup hack
Its really that shrimple
I... dont think that works like you're thinking it does

I don’t think that matters
It’s infinite syrup
net zero syrup
I mean in a sense I guess? but you'll still only have 1
I don’t think you’re understanding
Its zero syrup
You buy the fairy dust with syrup from a tree, use that dust on a tree, and use that syrup on the fairy dust, it’s shrimple
Oh no I understand lol
||They're shitposting, just play along||
Yeah I got that lol
duh
You’re thinking too small
I'm just gonna go
guys
Imagine this setup with 100 mystic trees, you have 100 infinite syrups, it’s infallible logic
should i get a butterfly knide
Do it with 50 syrup to average 25!
Truely the best money maker of the century
I am not accepting questions at this time
actually, it doesn't approach anything at all. there is no limit
guys we did it, we cracked the code
25!? See this guy gets it
That’s a big number
Half the time you still have zero syrup on you
Rounding up, this means you have no syrup all of the time
Yes well when I make Starfruit Wine, most of the time I have zero Starfruit Wine on me
So that does not sound like a disadvantage
Wait this is probably why I get no shards
Therefore u have zero starfruit wine either
The game knows what you're doing lol
can animal crackers be bought?
Not directly
I wish they could
No unfortunately
dang
is there a way to buy them indirectly?
I need some for my fish ponds
They're a very rare drop too. I got farming mastery as my first pick and I've only been able to find 3 animal crackers so far
and its been many many hours of gameplay since then
so pigs are still meta
I’ve had decent luck with crackers at least
Sheep are a good option too
sheep are a good option if you have animal crackers but unfortunately that cant be bought, farmed, or guaranteed
With crackers, ability to provide in rain and winter
Idk if I'm just unlucky with animal crackers or not but I'm having a lot of issues finding them
I’ve gotten most of mine through fishing
Fishing treasure chests is a pretty easy way to get them
I have been fishing, and I've gotten 1 from that. The other 2 I got from sc runs
that's probably it. i just stop fishing for the most part once i have enough passive income. ._.
Are you using pirate?
Theyre 7% from fishing chests
Yes I have pirate
I hope your shard luck is decent at least
There’s always one thing in each game that is just unlucky as hell
Yes my shard luck is great at least lol. I found 8 yesterday
You can fairly reasonably hit 50% chest chance while using double spinner for 0.5 bite time
pirate is meta now?
I wish I had that luck
I’ve found like 10 by spring y3
The other option is treasure totems i guess maybe
Meanwhile I get 4 galaxy souls within 3 weeks, 4 stone owls, constant pearls and treasure chests, animal crackers out the oiseaux
2 SC runs and 4 battery packs, RNG really doesn't want me to go to GI
Mob farm is kinda viable too
I've found... I think 19 so far on my current save? and I'm in y3 summer right now
I've used a few for forging so far, but I need more cinder shards to do more
I’m drowning in cinder shards
I have like 3 right now lol. I've only been able to get like 15 or 20 per volcano run, its so tedious
Using the seed predictor for the singular pris I have rn
ah I dont like using the predictor. I like finding stuff on my own
More fun and rewarding that way
but I mean to each their own
Same here, but I just want reaching on my hoe and can
I prepared my entire field winter 28
Woke up and it was all gone, forgot how harsh the transition is
ahh yeah, I did that y1 going into y2. Never again lol
how far do you guys staircase SC before actually mining? I have 3/4 of a big shed of jade crystalariums
I just go in
Luckily I dont have much farming space on the new farm so I didnt waste too much time tilling land
I’m also hunting pepper rexes rn
Same, but this is all year 1
how long does it take for the raccoon to find a wife? been a week already
Think it’s exactly a week
a new request will pop up every 7 days I believe after completing the last one
I think it's standard shipping and handle, so maybe a llttle over 7 business days.
well then see you tomorrow
Also I just go into the sc and see what happens. I actually very rarely use staircases
Most of the time I never use any
Mine are a panic button usually
They’re also there for those really long spiral floors
From worms came my first crack
is this a good exchange rate? no way right?
I just use them to save time in long maps tbh
Like the spiral floors or when I'm not having any luck in staircases
Oh and infested floors
that's terrible, for him
The only time I actually really used staircases was when I was trying to get to floor 100 for the first time, and I was on floor 96 at 1:40am LOLOL
so I panic placed stairs
"I see you made it to 100, but you used stairs, NEWB!" - Mr. Qi
Till the field Winter 22 or sooner
Plant fiber seeds
If you use DRS, use one rain totem anytime between winter 22-27 (skip this part if you have sprinkler coverage)
Scythe away the fiber plants on Spring 1
I'm gonna try staircasing to 200 and see if I come back with a full stack of iridium ores
I always reach it without stairs because on my first sc run of the file I don't yet have the iridium to dupe jades.
what's DRS
deluxe retaining soil
fiber carries over to spring?
fiber is all seasons
Yes
Indeed
Thats a decent idea actually
And if the crop survives, so too do the soil and fertilizer
You can plant the fiber early with nothing to fear. What're the Junimos gonna do, collect it? They're hibernating
ok I bought pierre's eggs for this
I didn't need to because I already have too many shards but like, why not.
actually I should try some staircase runs in the sc to try and find more treasure rooms. I neeed autopetters
im too tired to do math today
love how the second day of the festival pam tells you to drive yourself but you still have to pay for a ticket
“Drive yourself, but my booze can’t pay itself.” - Pam 
🤔
Jesus I just got the trash catalogue
But the trash just explodes?? It scared the shit out of me 😭
is the desert festival a good time for skull cavern running?
to utilize the +4 luck i mean
I've gotten 3 of these so far, plus 2 garbage hats. It makes me jump every time lmao
i mean yeah +4 luck is insane and it can stack with other buffs like ginger ale and mrc
Yea, I bet Eric put that specifically to scare ppl lol
i was gonna do a lucky lunch
+7 luck sounds very op
+4 luck is the best combo right?
Are the animal crackers being used mainly on Sheep?
I'm thinking if it's better to use it on a daily produce animal or something like a goat idk
goat is only semi-daily
Yea, that's what the "or" is making
It separates the goat from the daily produce animals
sorry
No worries
I don't even plan on having a lot of goats tbh... I thought about just using it on blue chickens for the character's roleplay
Ok yea that fits, she'd 100% give the first cracker to her favorite chicken
Gorgonzola is now on crack
Might need more Mayo machines for the extra eggs
Stingray helps you get unusual materials
I usually go with the Lava Eel personally, but Stingray, I believe, can proc Cinder Shards, which is really handy.
@regal fulcrum You leveled up to Farmer. You're now a prettier shade of blue. Thanks for sticking around!
None are particularly good profit, so "gives me a material that is hard to get" would be my priority for ponds
I pressed shift while making some a while ago and had mayo machines in excess, I hope it's enough now 
Sturgeons get you caviar, but nowadays you can get the roe for it without a pond (Jewels of the Sea book and then just catch some wild sturgeons)
I catched some sturgeon and lava eels
Probably Stingray. Those Cinder Shards will have more proactive aid than jelly.
How many cinder shards we are talking about
And should I do quest continuously or just only three times
Squid (incl midnight squid) can also get you Squid Ink
For seafoam pudding right?
Quest expands population size
Item yield is dependent on current population
So what happens when I reach Mac population
Yeah. You might even make ponds for flounders to breed them for it on the off-seasons
The quest stops right?
Yeah
Tysm
2-5 Cindershards, but with the Golden Cracker, it's 4-10 respectively. I would think that's how it plays out. And there's also the possibility of Magma Cap or Dragon Tooth.
I completed a racoon quest and they just gave me a beet
a singular beet
i dont even think thats in their drop table, either this is a bug or something modded fucked up something
but I dont think i have anything that could affect it
Random unshipped item other than Roe and Artisan Goods or 4 Mystery Boxes (see note) Emphasis on "Unshipped"
huh, how odd
that's weird, I got 20 cindershards from one pond once
I dunno if this is part of the new update but does anyone know what this means? I'm on floor 91 of normal Mines. Been playing the game a long time never seen it before
Regardless, it' s a lot of cinder shards.
that's from the new desert festival event
happens in spring, that's your egg rating
Got it! It just didn't show up till I got to the Mines. Thanks for the help!
goes up by 1 per 5 levels or +1 per statue you interact with, you can get some good rewards if you reach higher ones
wait normal mines?
That visual does indeed indicate it's the normal mines unless there's a purple floor somewhere in SC.
my guess is they got the 2 rating base on the festival and then went to the mines
@stark glade yea not the skull caverns or the Mines by the quarry

Ugh I just went through 63 iridium bars trying to get a level 5 fairy box
Anvil bad
If u want to use it, do it in the morning and be prepared to spam reset the day
The rates are incredibly awful
You know what is awful: Anchovies.
Tbh, I have so much iridium. I don't really mind too too much. It hurts a bit to see so much iridium used but like what else am I going to do with it at the moment
Sounds like the anvil was made exactly for players like you
An iridium sink for the ones with entirely too much of it
I have the statue that gives you iridium everyday, and I make frequent dives into the sc so I get plenty then too
Eating hundreds of bars per item still doesnt feel good even when u have a bunch
Yeah it def doesnt feel good lol
pro tip: waste 210 iridium bars trying to get every single frog color
but I mean, I got what I really wanted already, which was a prismatic frog (got it on 2nd reroll) so
210 is actually quite cheap I’d say
it's more than half of what I have lmao
How do people manage to get so efficient in this game?
Lady Luck gave you the prize up front and is now exacting her toll
Hello, what’s a good way to make money fishing with the advanced rod during spring?
Lmao frrr
Fish in the lake
Knowledge, strategizing, planning, and practice
when you've beaten the game 3 times you already know what you're supposed to do and your priorities
Nothing in the lake warrants a cork imo
If the Extended Family quest is up, see if you can catch the Legend II over and over
I've studied this game so much but I never feel like I can get the rhythm down
I accidentally caught all fish and didn’t realize the quest would end immediately
Also fish income is pretty trash unless its raining for catfish in spring
Specifically in spring, with no extended family, to clarify
5k gold base value, 7.5k for gold or 10k for iridium. (12.5k with Pirate, 15k with Angler)
Then smoke it for 2× or even 2.8× (Artisan)
@woven tusk You leveled up to Desperado. That's level 1000! :open_mouth: You have been taken by the server's evil clutches and there is no escape for you. Congrats!
Wut
pants
woah congrats
...Indeed.
Maximizing treasure chest gain will net u more money from golden chests imo
I would favor Pirate even though Angler's multiplier is now actually a thing with smoked Legend II
Because fishing treasure is good shit
Has anyone found a good way to get clay in 1.6?
Clay farmings totally nerfed and I’ve found a grand total of 8 clay all spring
Earlygame clay is in shambles

if you go all the way to GI you can get a lot :) beach strat is dead though
Upgrade your hoe and use charged plowing shots in those big open soil patches in the mine I guess
Guess I’m gonna have to get to GI before even making a silo lmao
it's not that bad
Yeah I was thinking I’d try the mines
Till the whole map with your hoe
Leave no stone unturned
leave no sand unhoed
leave no dirt untilled
Thing with angler is u can just wait til u have fish to sell to swap
What do golden chests give? I haven’t found anything useful
twin
Also do they have a special icon or does it just appear as a regular one
it's a chest made of solid gold yes
I got sick of waiting and built my coop before my silo
of course the third day of owning the coop (i.e. the one after the current "tomorrow's forecast") would be rainy
it does look different
Also quick brag for what happened yesterday (first was spring 3 second spring 8)
looks like you're either holding the L or buying hay from marnie
He's wondering where tf his lunch went
I’m on a meadowlands farm so both fortunately and unfortunately I already have a coop and some spare hay, but I can’t live without a silo
Like 50-100% more loot than a regular chest, higher rates for valuable items, irridium ingots
It’s a mutated carp
The sea creature. Rare chance to surface
I don’t think it is lol
Bro I have like around 1000 hours in this game and I've NEVER seen that
wait so the game's on 60tps?
I’ve seen it like 4 times? I think
I think so yeah
guess that's why it's hard locked to 60 frames
Just wait until you play it on the worst laptop known to man
Oh you mean like how I play lmao
Me also :(
My pc is sooo old rip
My usual laptop finally kicked the bucket I’m playing on an old Acer
I got it in 2014 lmao
I was stuck for a good 6 years with the most obliteratingly bad laptop
at least it got me to learn configs
Yippee!!
Luckily I can still run mods semi okay but it can be very laggy. I'm actually surprised I got SDVE to run
It was an unfortunate jump from poor frames to 60+ mods back down to poor frames
Did 1.6 up the treasure rate while fishing? I'm on Spring 20 Year 1, and I've found two ancient seeds and a dinosaur egg
I give you a 💀
I’m struggling with only automate lol
And I did it manually, not through vortex, so my laptop could breathe at least a LITTLE bit
Most of the lag from mods will come either when u load in large areas or when a new day happens
Yeah my computer straight up gave up in late game SDVE. It couldn't handle one of the end game areas. I had to stop playing :c
SDVE does a good job of splitting its added areas up into reasonably sized chunks so its not too bad
THATS SO DEVASTATING D:

Except for the one infamous spot...
mine used to stutter for a second when I left the house after I downloaded some resprite mods
I’m just waiting until I get mystery boxes I want them so badly
I like to call it my computer sneezing when that happens
Well yeah the farm is a fairly large area
Except for that one giant red area sadly, if you know you know.
My other laptop went kaput right after 1.6 came out. On my birthday.
that's gonna take a little while
like summer 20 or something no?
I think so yeah
My schedule has freed up so so much though
I played from a fresh file to spring 22 last night
it...is...completed
tidin tidin tidin problem engine kaput ;(
Oh? How do you get prize tickets?
.
I don't think any events give you tickets apart from fair right
You can get prize tickets from repeated egg fest and ice festival wins
Eg egg festival replaces the hat with a ticket now iirc
Would anyone be willing to help me take my Stardew Valley experience to super efficient? I want to hit that point in playing the game
The maze from spirits eve gives a ticket every other year instead of pumpkin
Oh yeah and the spirits eve chest
I was honestly so disappointed when I got a prize ticket y2 for that lol
I wanted the pumpkin
Well most of it is meticulously planning everything u want to do for a day
And checking ahead for tasks u need to do and the earliest possible time you can do them
So u wake up and immediately pause the game and… pull up a todo list or spreadsheet and cry
Or sometimes the most effective/convenient time rather than the earliest
and then theres me who's like "Okay I got to do this today" and then forget 10 seconds later and go do something else
I use the Steam overlay's notes feature
Checking for when u can do them isnt necessarily the same as doing them
Set to a medium opacity and pinned over the side of the game window
Its good to know what windows of time you have to slot secondary tasks into gaps between primary tasks
And what secondary tasks u have
I have adhd, I have the attention span of a sparrow
I do too
Yeea, I struggle with that a lot as well
Check stuff then forget later
Thats what the planning is for
I do have my sketchbook tho, I write on it
If ur actually good u skip the planning step and do it all in your head
I try to plan, but I'll forget what I'm doing in the middle of a task most days lmao
Thats when u reset the day
I often had to rerun days for upwards of 5+ times bcuz i skipped a step or forgot to write a step down
Wouldn't say it's a matter of being good or not but yea, I'd recommend writting stuff and check it every couple minutes
Like I'll be on my way back to my farm to do something very specific and then I spend the next like 3 minutes wandering around my farm trying to remember what I'm doing
Oh naww, pause the game
and not doing that very specific thing
Whenever I forget, I just pause the game until I can either remember or re-route what I'm doing
I mean yeah I pause the game a lot too, but I get distracted doing other stuff too
Part of the thing about keeping the notes overlay is needing to habituate oneself to writing in it and frequently reading from it
I don't know how well that works for ADHD. 
It doesnt
Yeea, that's also a big ass struggle lol
I would never remember to write anything down tbh
80% of my resets are “i forgot the thing i wrote in bold and caps at the top of my todo list”
I write shit on my sketch book but forget to even check it-

Yo I remember that once I got a sticky note and glued in the center of my monitor
Actually competent ppl reset because their rng wasnt ideal or whatever even with perfect execution
So when I completed it, I took it off XD
I didnt even execute the thing i was supposed to do 
That shit just fades into the background, even if its infront of my face
Yea, I just put it in a color that I don't like, like very bright color where it hurts my brain and I'm unnable to ignore it because it's hurting
Jurassic Park ass perception. It doesn't move so you can't see it
But how do you guys manage to get like 200k in Spring 1 or hit Mines 120 at the end of Week 2
Frrr it really be like that
I just mouse over everything constantly while walking to make sure im not forgetting stuff
Sf that shit saved me a lot of traveling cart days
Mines are easy
GG!!!
I mouse over my crops everyday to remind myself when they grow
Well, the first step is to fish a lot for the seed capital
Then get extremely good at Skull Cavern. Buy out the vault bundles with your fish money and drive there to bomb the shit out of SC
Check the taskboard repeatedly via ui
Iridium bars sell well
I always thought I was okay at SC but I feel so slow all the time
Do you use bombs?
200k spring 1 isnt possible
Everyone is generally broke spring 1 unless they abuse bugs
Spring 3 is usually when u get your first big payday if ur good at catfish fishing
I feel like i'm decent at sc but definitely not the best. I usually average around floor 80-90 in my runs, but I don't use staircases so
As for progress thru mines, there’s a few tricks most ppl arent aware of
Upgrade the pick before the mines open by buying the materials with fish money
Like upgrading their pickaxe beforehand so rocks all break in 1 hit, pausing whenever going down a ladder so the floor transition doesnt run the clock
Yippee!!! I finished!!! 🙂
Worth it
I usually sort by season, and then sort fish by freshwater vs saltwater vs crab pot & other
Of course!
i sort mostly using category
Also knowing when to prioritize enemies vs rocks for ladders
And having stairs on hand to skip infested floors
I'm ngl... I could never set up something like that, cause I'll never use those chests lmao. I barely remember to go into my sheds to check my kegs once a week
vegetable, decoration, decor, importants, hat, seeds, and etc.
Spicy eel? The only thing more valuable than Luck buffs is speed buffs
How tf am I supposed to get it
I tend to get lost very quickly with chests, so I like to have small storages
get what?
Also you can have a food and a drink buff together at the same time
The butterfly
Wait for it to fly down
So spicy eel plus coffee/tripleshot for sprinting
And pray it doesnt waste too much time
Yup. Magic Rock Candy when I have it on hand
first big skull run
If not I go for the Eel
Double Iridium Bands for the huge magnet range (so you don't have to walk over to the ore you blast)?
Another thing u can do is scouting runs before doing an actual attempt to go thru a day
Not yet. I'm not at the island yet
I have it unlocked I just had to do the Calico Fest
Ohh 5 shards, not bad. The most I've gotten in 1 run is 4
What does the island have to do with it...?
I always do this in every run I do -
i got stupidly lucky
Craft two iridium bands and wear them
At the start of days where i have money i will do a lap around the map to check forageable spawns, check traveling merchant, check gus’s food of the day, check daily quest
all 5 were within the first like 80 floors
Or do you mean so you can merge a luck ring in?
i only made it to like 200 lol
Yeah, for merging
Reminds me of my storage lmao
I really need to clean up my house
lol
I put my machines into a shed
Stuff i check daily like blessings and statues goes in a line between my bed and the front door
would it be worth it to rush floor 100 again for snake milk without staircases or should i just wait for a bigger run
66 iridium bars is plenty
What I'm told the deep delve technique is...
Build a shed of crystalariums (bit of a catch-22 as they require iridium...)
Load them with Jades
On Sunday, trade a zillion Jades for a zillion stairs
On your next delve, spam stairs until 5PM and then-- at whatever floor you end up on-- start adventuring from there
This is a great idea, if I'd ever remember to actually go into a shed lol
I put a farm computer on my porch and check it every morning
Just put the shed, like, right besides your house
I'm thinking my "general" and seasonal storages will be in the cubby by the door
Man, that's a lot of Jade
If it has numbers more than 10 than i know i forgot something
Oh sorry. I forgot to turn ping off
That's why I have my horse right besides my house as well
leave one machine either by your cabin or outside the shed
Sure is. I can't do it myself yet.
I'll have access to the island soon so at least I can try for a spiffy new Dwarf or Dragontooth weapon.
that way you get a "reminder" when your shed is ready
any of yall use the slingshot method for SC where you just get a bunch of explosive ammo and shoot it around SC
i meant when do slime lay eggs
I do. It's only a partial technique since it's limited to stuff near walls and enemies
it's good for collecting iridium quiclky
It's weird because they don't
I started doing that recently, but it's shit when you need the iron bars to make more kegs
since they one shot the ores still
So I'm thinking about pausing the slingshot, even tho it's really fun to use it
Yeah I do that with beehives so I remember to go collect them. Honestly the farm computer is the best item in this game for me. It helps me remember so much
I got the hang of it and it's really fucking helpful in sc
I just buy my explosive ammo
what should i do with my first 70 ish iridium?
Oh ye, from the dwarf isns't it?
do i just save for obelisks
Price and blast radius nerf leave it in shambles compared to how hilarious it was before
they don't, a baby slime just pops up
Guild
adventure guild
Upgrade tools
hey guys, excuse me, but, someone can give me some tips in how to get prize tickets ?
More expensive than the cost of the iron ore and coal tho
Hm can't remember
bruh lol
i already have iridium pick can and axe
so first was kind of a lie
oop, then make iridium sprinklers
when you have like billions of money, it doesn't really matter does it?
Do Help Wanted ads. Every third one you complete is worth a ticket (that's what the little three-star thing is at the top left of the Help Wanted screen)
I just get a lot from the weekend special quests and always checking daily quests
should i just rush a desert obelisk too
I don't think any of the people you are addressing, are rich. At all.
Haven’t tested this in the mine, but creating a backup save after breaking a crate in volcano dungeon regenerates the crate with the same loot
i'll have 1m by summer or so
but just saying
actually tbh, upgrade your pan to iridium as well if you can. Its op
its over.
yeah i will
well I just learnt something new 😀
omg, ty so much!! im struggling to get more, but this helpme a lot, thxxx
It'd be over if those were serpents
i just realized i have way too much
70 iridium bars is enough for every obelisk and every remaining tool and probably ginger boat
I got like 20 gold magma caps from it
I don't like slammers very much
im early game
Save them for rerolling trinkets then! You'll need a lot for that
having this much iridium feels wrong
It would be more even more over if it was the serpents from the hard version of SC
spam clicking infinity gavel slam on royal serpents is my favorite hobby
i'm used to depending on the statues of perfection
Yea, it'd be over if those were serpents
They're faster than the ghosts
i barely survived
Yup
got a ton of geodes tho i needed that
imagine if your cat could give you a legend fish
They always get a peek of my ribs when I spam my sword 
even better is that my mouse has a fire button that clicks at ~10cps so I insta kill them
annoying to use though
wait wtf am i supposed to do with 5 prismatic shards pre ginger
gift Haley :)
Yes.
Save them for ginger. That's what I did
i already have a galaxy sword
I mean always use your first shard for the galaxy sword, that goes without saying
and donated one too
I mean, there's also the theater
give a little piece to gunther :D
So I'd save 1 for it if you don't have it yet
already saved one for it
idk why this run is blessed with prism shards
Then just save for ginger-
i had 3 by early winter year 1
it's not a very versatile item for its rarity
Ye
maybe i should turn my children into doves
But we do need a lot for ginger xd
Outside of using one for the galaxy sword, donating one to the museum, and saving one for the missing bundle (if you want. I personally wouldnt.) Save the rest for ginger island
I had like 14 and after enchanting everything, the great shard drought of year 2
I just realized I forgot to donate one to Gunther lol
what's the best use of calico eggs
Buying the bachelors weapons so you can have a sick ass pencil dealing more than 500 dmg
chatero how you get void salmon
witch hut
Think you can buy a prismatic shard
Nuh uh
where tf is witch hut
near train station in the very back
Railroad
If you don't know where it is, then probably you didn't get the quest yet
Wizard gonna talk to you about his ex
Yea, pretty good quest
ok so to start the quest you need to complete CC or Joja route
i finish cc
then you go to the railroad and a quest will start
K so you'll find out who his ex is then lol
wait is this unlimited
Yes, you can
should be pretty straight forward from there, be sure to bring good bobbers
because that salmon is annoying
alr alr
no no
i have blessing of water
salmon be hook asf asf
(as in like no limit to how many you can buy)
I have no idea unfortunately
that'd be an easy way to max foraging
Ok I loved the steam overlay idea
This should just be part of the journal
What Journal-
Quests button
Don't remember xd
wait how on earth do you max foraging
I don't think I unlocked it yet
Its at the start of the game
Trees and seasonal seeds, is what I did
The thing with all the quests?
You mean the help wanted board by Pierre's?
from desert festival (from emily)
I just didn't understand how a do-to list would be useful glued in the help wanted board-
loool my farm's name is Seagull Farm, I was not expecting this dialogue
oh seasonal seeds
i got mmm... ricin eggs
lol XD
Not help wanted, this thing
I think they mean the journal you click on, on the side of your screen. The exclamation mark
Yeah
dark talisman
go back
Put it in the railroard thing
It's like a key
alr alr
yeah sorry go back to the railroad
you don't actually have to finish the quest to get the salmon but it helps to have the quest finished
can't you throw it in the bin?
you can trash them like normal so
what you do when you see goblin now
No, you cant put them in the shipping bin sadly. I tried
is it actually worth rushing ginger asap?
fish :)
just fish :)
fish :)
so you can't get pass goblin?
in the swamp
fish :)
Fish in swamp, yes
WTF
do it
just fish in the swamp
Just fish
yes
wow so simple
just do it
All of the trinkets I've found so far lol
didnt 1.6 nerf that
Yes
theres a book on how to bribe the goblin in the library. if you don't want to figure it out yourself -> ||give him void mayo||
The key is getting into the habit of using it, but... ADHD kind of sabotages that, so I'm a little worried. But if it helps, great!

We never see him again after that... I wonder if he got fired for it. Or worse. 
Prairie King already has us conduct a hecking goblin genocide, so I don't think I'd wanna screw over the actual goblin we meet
What’s the drop rate so far?
The Mr. Qi quest, Qi's Crop, had the timeframe changed to 13 days 
is the iridium pan unironically good
It's always however many days until the next season
I'm not sure tbh
Yes, especially with the fisher enchant
Yes it's insanely good, especially if you pan in that river by the fossils on GI. I got 6 lucky rings in 1 day from that
Plus a bunch of other stuff
