[tough remnant]

Just buy spaghetti from the saloon

The red sauce on it counts 😛

[gray oriole]

or use bait

[pine barn]

Yellow = sap, Orange = copper ore, Green = fibre, Blue = blueberries, Purple = void essence
But I always seem to have a lack of red thing, or at least, red things I'm willing to give 100 up of

[neat sentinel]

what do i do with treasure appraisal books when i already used one

[gray oriole]

make a few worm bins

[pine barn]

does the pink bait count?

[gray oriole]

yes

[tough remnant]

No it doesn't

[gray oriole]

unless that's one of my mods messing with it

which it might be uhhh

I need to turn them off sec

[tough remnant]

Bait works as red for dye pots, but not for prismatic grange

[gray oriole]

weird

[pine barn]

ah

[gray oriole]

how about explosive ammo

is it still 5 explosive ammo per craft

[tough remnant]

Works fine

[gray oriole]

if so, then 100 ammo would cost you 20 iron bars and 40 coal

[tough remnant]

As I said though, spaghetti works

[pine barn]

hmm, not a bad idea

[pine barn]

yeah, but, money 😄

[hidden ore]

fire quartz from crystalariums if I have them, or salmonberries if I have lots, or buy spaghetti

[tough remnant]

Salmonberries and Cranberries also work if you happen to have a stack of either of those lying around somewhere

[gray oriole]

cranberries if u want something easily farmable

[pine barn]

I've been using my cranberries for the dehydrator, but just got into fall so have planted a a lot.

[pine barn]

I suppose I could now remove the jade.

[hidden ore]

I do stock up on crystalarium generated items for that quest, once I have materials for lots. so I typically have topaz, fire quartz, frozen tears, amethyst going and I always have so much sap that yellow is not an issue

[pine barn]

yeah, yellow, green and purple are never a problem

[hidden ore]

copper is dirt cheap, I just don't like to have to buy if I can get orange for "free"

[pine barn]

oh yeah, always copper for orange

[hidden ore]

welp thought I was near the end on decorating. instead I've just put in three more fish ponds, will need to rearrange them and the cabin to put in one more, have some fencing to redo, tea tree saplnigs to put in, and a bunch of ginger island farmhouse to do, and that's not even talking about ginger island exterior either

[pine barn]

😄 my GI farmhouse is just a keg store. Got all my starfruit wine going in there

could just about fit in 100 kegs

[hidden ore]

got all my kegs in sheds, hidden away

[pine barn]

I have 3 sheds on my farm, 1 for greenhouse ancient fruit, 1 for pumpkins/melons/coffee, and 1 for cheese/mayo/preserves and truffle oil. The animal shed

[hidden ore]

I've got 5 I guess, no 6. 4 = kegs, 1 = fake greenhouse, 1 = machines. then I have some animal product machines in barn/coops (only a handful, most space is reserved to the animals), and some machines in the cellar with casks pushed to the edges by the walls

[neat sentinel]

gonna redeem all of these

i wonder how much useless garbage im gonna get

[molten turret]

at least 10

[hidden ore]

depends what you consider useless at this point in your game I guess

[neat sentinel]

well i mostly got good stuff

[astral vine]

everything is useful to me...

[gray oriole]

there's a set pool and besides the cosmetics all of it is useful in some way

(I like the cosmetics too tbh)

[neat sentinel]

heres what i got

[hidden ore]

(I wish I could stop getting mystery hats from mystery boxes, I don't really want to build a mannequin army for them all)

[sacred river]

I thought the queen of sauce book would be an instant headstart to cooking all recipes

I forgot about the banana pudding

[hidden ore]

good haul there

[neat sentinel]

i wanna grow a giant powdermelon when winter comes

[hidden ore]

yeah there's some recipes you get only from heart events or buying it

[gray oriole]

this is kinda tempting...

[terse apex]

You only get 1 hardwood though

You can spend 300 eggs to get all of them

[gray oriole]

i'm on spring 17

hardwood kinda in short supply this early on

i don't even have my axe upgraded yet lmao

[terse apex]

That's true, just a little warning. I thought I was buying all 100 for just 3 eggs XD

[molten turret]

rotten plant

[hidden ore]

it's a collectible, useful for that innit?

(on previous save I collected and saved it for exactly that reason :-P)

[fringe pecan]

uh idk if i just saw a fuckin POSSUM during winter going back to my farm is that a new 1.6 thing?

i play fully vanilla-

i couldnt find any info abt the possum on stardew wiki, and it ran away (TOWARDS MY FARM) too fast to screenshot it

[robust spoke]

ye

[fringe pecan]

what does he do does he just lookcool

[jovial dune]

rotten plant can be used for the orange part of Qi's task where you need 100 items of each color 😄

if you have a whole assortment of animals, including ostriches, which ones are best for the first animal crackers?

[urban kiln]

since in 1.6 theres a desert event this farm wont work anymore right

[jovial dune]

it works fine. The desert festival uses a separate instance

[hidden ore]

the three days of the festival you will have no access to any of that, but before and after you can use it just fine

[urban kiln]

i dont get it

so its like a diffrent zone thats a copy of desert?

[gray oriole]

all festivals make a copy of wherever they take place in yes

[hidden ore]

what do you need more of sooner? like, if you want to stock up on gold cheese as a health food, give it to the cow. if you want quick profits instead, then check animal product profits https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Animal_Products_Profitability and give the the one that is best that you have.

[urban kiln]

alr ima start working on it then

[hidden ore]

so you know how if you put down crab pots on the beach, they aren't available during the luau or whatever? but they are back after that? same thing here

[fringe pecan]

hell yea

[urban kiln]

i never notices bc i never work with crab pots lol

[jovial dune]

thanks

[grave violet]

Is this page updated for 1.6 balancing yet

[hidden ore]

I don't know if all changes have gone in but some definitely have

[robust spoke]

we getting 1.6.4 this week as well

[grave violet]

When he says “this week” he means Friday btw

Just my theory

Or is he going with the stardew valley week so Sunday is the latest 🤔

[hidden ore]

I guess "sometime during the work week"

[grave violet]

Well I’m assuming he has Sunday off so either friday or Saturday

[indigo copper]

The desert festival has been so terrible to me 😭 I couldn't buy the second coming of rhubarbs (i missed watering on day 1) and it overlaps with salmonberry season

[grave violet]

Are you on year one?

[robust spoke]

technically

everyday is off

[hidden ore]

I am pretty bummed it overlaps with salmonberries, since I always take time to forage them, even if they are not so useful as a food item after the first year. it's a tradition though

[robust spoke]

if your self employed

[grave violet]

Cause salmon berries are irrelevant after y1

[robust spoke]

[indigo copper]

And does the race thing seriously require you to stay on the map fir like 3 hrs just staring at them

[grave violet]

Not sure how that works, don’t you mean everyday has work

[robust spoke]

no

[hidden ore]

no. go to the scholar or check the stalls or whatever else, then come back but before the next race starts

[indigo copper]

Iridium salmonberries are good food :/

[grave violet]

Why are you not going to sc

[grave violet]

Oh I go to tapper to sell mystic syrup

[hidden ore]

you need to claim the prize (if you won) before the next race, your sc dive will take longer than that

[indigo copper]

Exactly

[grave violet]

I’d rather obtain 700 calico eggs than 20*12 = 240 eggs

[fleet sinew]

nah dude i didnt understand how the price worked and tried to buy something thinking it was a good deal but instead i spent like 5 eggs on 1 item that def wasnt worth it, maru ripped me off smh

[hidden ore]

my day one I usually go choose a racer, then scholar, then willy, then go back and see if I won, then sc

[indigo copper]

I want to go to sc not wait for the race to end then the next one to start then

[grave violet]

Willy isn’t worth it

[indigo copper]

Willy is fun if u like fishing (i do) but soooo rng

[terse apex]

Same here... and afterwards I was like how could I have been that stupid, other shops work just the same XD

[grave violet]

On bad luck days I just use the mines exploit for a free 25 calico rating

[hidden ore]

sorry, got a soft spot for willy and his fishing, so I'm gonna put in the time

[fleet sinew]

pretty sure i spent 2 calico eggs on 1 flower seed from Evelyn too before i realised-

[indigo copper]

The mines exploit?... OMG that's a thing? 🤣

[signal raft]

does green rain only happen once per summer or will rain totems increase chance of another

[hidden ore]

once a summer regardless

[indigo copper]

I bought all 100 hardwood from Leah and I regret nothing

[signal raft]

fuck
the one green rain and its on the last day of this skull cavern quest

[fleet sinew]

i got ripped off by the grandma smh (jk still love evelyn but woah)

[grave violet]

Yeah so basically you go into sc and get rating 2. Exit out and return back to sv. Go to the normal mines and use the elevator to get to lvl 5 then 10, then 15 and so on. Each time u do that u get 1 more rating

[indigo copper]

Personally I when I got too upset with how my day 1 of the festival went just paused time via cjb and skull caverned my heart out (to lvl 60)

[grave violet]

Free 200 eggs

Cjb is my enemy

I will never turn to the dark side

[indigo copper]

Im trying a mostly vanilla playthru with cjb as a like mod tool

[hidden ore]

I don't know what that is (but I play pure vanilla)

[indigo copper]

I am not spending time in my day configuring visual mods just so

[grave violet]

Yeah I just prefer pure vanilla as I’m kinda an OG

[indigo copper]

Also I make mods and cjb is a must for testing

[grave violet]

Oh cool

I don’t like cjb mainly cuz my coop member used it to get a iridium quality crimsonfish

And that’s only possible with a quality bobber or a perfect catch 😅

[indigo copper]

And then there are The Bad Days when I just need to pause time and fish/sc for like an hour irl for my own mental health -_-

[indigo copper]

Cheat mod. Basically provides a visual interface for a bunch of stuff you can do with smapi debug commands.

[hidden ore]

I don't know what smapi is either

[grave violet]

Don’t

It’s ok

Smapi has tempted me several times 😭

[indigo copper]

Yea using cjb in your daily life fucking sucks. Same for noclip etc. But when you need it you need it

Shoutout to item eating glitches leaving u without tools

Just. Not being able to plant rhubarb for the second time is

At least Pierre's shop works

(Also I was really looking forward to salmonberry season bc I accidentally lost (sold?) my blackberries in autumn and had to make do with Rationed Food for half a year )

[hidden ore]

what the heck is rationed food in sdv

[signal raft]

So if we managed to push for mayo to be edible, whens the movement to let us eat moss

[hidden ore]

that's what moss soup is for

[sacred river]

Moss soup

[signal raft]

I need to chew on raw moss though

Deltarune style

[jagged orchid]

with the new update what is the most profitable animal with animal crackers because i assume its not pigs anymore cuz they cant get them right?

[molten turret]

n minutes in and you're already eating moss ⁉️

[molten turret]

pigs

sheep ig? i heard they can be better with the right build

[wary quiver]

Did anyone else get a magic rock candy from qi mystery boxes? i can't find the percentage on the wiki

[molten turret]

no need for spoilers here

[tidal axle]

okay so here you dont need spoiler text

[molten turret]

117 items you can get from mystery boxes

[tidal axle]

but i havent been lucky enough to get a rock candy yet

[molten turret]

they all have equal chance

[tidal axle]

as far as im aware its a 1/117

[molten turret]

wiat-

mystery boxes are seed-based

like all other geodes

its a type of geode

[hidden ore]

they are like geodes, a predictable fixed series

oh I see you got there first, Sadamant. heh

[molten turret]

why waste time say lot word when few word do trick

[hidden ore]

luck plays into getting them in the first place but not into their contents

[tidal axle]

mystery box seeded

check seed predictor

[hidden ore]

(you can use the predictor if you want to figure out how many of some other geode to open in order to get the magic rock candy out of a mystery box)

[jagged orchid]

hm interesting

[tidal axle]

hey so

how many prize tickets

does the fair let you get

[grave violet]

1

[hidden ore]

just the one I think

[rich lake]

1.6 spoilers

Oh wait

[grave violet]

Bruh

[hidden ore]

this is the spoil-all-the-things channel 😉

[rich lake]

I thought I was in seasoned lmao

[hidden ore]

heh

[rich lake]

Oopsie

[tidal axle]

only one?

damn thats kind of sad

guess im skipping this fest

[grave violet]

Per year

[hidden ore]

yes, like some other items in the shop you buy one, if you want more than one you come back next year

[grave violet]

Stardew fair is good if you have bleessinf of friendship

Frick

Ignore me

[tidal axle]

well, i have fangs

so that's a skip!

[grave violet]

Ca is in pst right

[sacred river]

Did anyone figure out if golden animal cracker ostriches compete with pigs

[grave violet]

Well with artisan?

[wary quiver]

the hell is a golden animal cracker ostriches

[sacred river]

Yea

[sacred river]

Ostriches fed with golden animal crackers

[wary quiver]

ah

[robust spoke]

[grave violet]

No they don’t

[robust spoke]

now how do I get enough sprinkler for 200 strawberry seeds

[grave violet]

Assuming pigs make 1 truffle a day pigs make 10k a week

[robust spoke]

got 2 days to get enough copper/iron ore

to make like 50 sprinklers

250 of each

[grave violet]

Not too bad lol

I had to grind for 430 ore each

[robust spoke]

mhm

issue is I have 3 furnances lol

and not enough coal

[grave violet]

Oh rip

Gl with that

If I were u I would just manually water half

And put holes where sprinklers should go

[robust spoke]

💀 probably will have to manually water for like 2-3 days

[grave violet]

What’s wrong with that

[robust spoke]

just annoying to do

wastes time and a bunch of energy

[grave violet]

You’re a fricken farmer

It’s your duty 😂

[robust spoke]

💀

even real farmers dont hand water their plants

some actually use planes to do it

[grave violet]

Poor farmers do 😊

2-3 days are rookie numbers

I didn’t have sprinklers for like 5 days after strawberries

Cause I don’t like the gray sprinklers

[robust spoke]

ye

but I can only get those

[jovial dune]

they suck, but there's a pattern for them. Check the wiki

[remote ridge]

I mean

Real farmers don't even pick their own crops anymore

If they can't be harvest with a tractor they hire a lot of people to do it for them usuallyfor poor ass wages

I guess we got the junimos as unpaid labor

[harsh bone]

is this a bug? wheres abigail

i just watched her 8 heart cutscene after watching her walk in but she vanished after i walked in again

[woven tusk]

I'd say she just ghosted you but that's what the spirit board was for

[harsh bone]

👻

[teal nacelle]

how many frogs can i have in a junel tank

jungle. that word got mangled

[sacred river]

Just realized that the Fairy Box can make Qi's Hungry Challenge quest a much more tolerable and fun experience

Stairless

[woven tusk]

Come to think of it, Pierre goes to the Saloon on the same day Abigail does. Which leaves Caroline alone at home, as pictured. That's kind of sad.

[open basin]

Good for her, I'd say

Some peace and quiet

[woven tusk]

She has peace and quiet on most days already tho. She regularly chills by herself under the tree near the CC, and then there's the tea garden scene

[open basin]

I don't think it takes away from the fact that sleeping at home alone is also peaceful and quiet lmao

So, yea, good for her

[green gyro]

I don't think Marnie should be that excited

[open basin]

FR 'cause in the egg festival she talks a lot about how a rooster in the coop makes the chicken produce better eggs

So where's the Rooster in the fucking shop, Marnie? are you gatekeeping good eggs??

[woven tusk]

Our eggs are somehow all fertile so maybe there are just ninja roosters

[stark glade]

anyone know what flooring this is?? I put this on my kids room and forgot ewhich it was 💀

[tough remnant]

I think that's from the retro catalogue

[stark glade]

yeah thanks, I don't know why floorings wiki page only show the ones from pierre/joja

[tough remnant]

Because nobody's uploaded all the floor images yet pretty much

I'm probably gonna go through and give it the same treatment I gave the wallpaper page at some point, but that one already had all the required images on the site

Uploading images to the wiki kinda sucks

[harsh plover]

wait clicking on the lonely stone no longer closes the map

since when

[crude talon]

ok so the time in game said 9pm, but than time speeds along and bam its 2am and i passed out....is this new or ? a bug ?

[robust spoke]

I have just realized

its more effective to fish

actually may not

[jaunty locust]

Is the meadowlands farm better than the standard?

[hollow bane]

why there is a fairy in your home? 😮 how did you get her?

[stark glade]

want me to spoil you on 1.6?

that's one of the new mastery trinkets

[tough remnant]

Looks nicer, is generally more interesting. But in terms of maximum income potential... no.

[maiden fiber]

That is true, why is the fairy so far away 0.0

[jaunty locust]

Thank you for your opinion

[stark glade]

I think I said this before actually but it's a small bug where the fairy's follow distance will be stuck on whatever it's distance to you was as you opened a menu

in this case, I was running to the right and down with +2 speed to go to a catalogue, and now she's stuck like that

until I exit the house

[novel badger]

what does deluxe bait do compared to normal bait

?

[woven tusk]

It says in its description

[novel badger]

im not playing currently im just planning ahead, should i search it up?

[woven tusk]

Max bite delay is reduced by more than regular bait does, plus extends the catch bar a little in the minigame

[novel badger]

ill stick to normal since its cheaper but that does sound pretty good

[woven tusk]

They also make Crab Pots work slightly better. Lower trash rate and catches silver instead of normal quality

[novel badger]

i usually come to the discord here for questions since im not reading 8 paragraphs and scrolling 3 pages on the wiki

[novel badger]

are crab pots useful i havent used one before

[woven tusk]

I have two Deluxe Worm Bins churning out Deluxe Bait. One of these days I should switch over to actually using it, I've got quite a stockpile built up

[woven tusk]

In my case, I'm on the beach farm so I have saltwater right next to my house. Takes barely any time to just walk over there and harvest/refill them. Lobsters and Crabs are used in cooking a few handy dishes

[novel badger]

one more question.. im using a small shed (I'll get larger later) with like 23 kegs, and i have the basement with the aging casks i think they are called-? does aging just turn something like a silver-star wine into iridium star

[woven tusk]

Yes but it takes f o r e v e r.
I intend to do it to a few items for the novelty (and to maximize score at the autumn fair grange display to overkill Pierre's score). But it's not great in terms of raw income rate

[novel badger]

how long to get like no star to iridium? isnt it like 2 seasons (if thats even possible)

[robust spoke]

56 days

[novel badger]

okay

thanks for your help :)

[robust spoke]

and you get

doubled price

[novel badger]

both of you

[robust spoke]

assuming your aging star fruit wine to iridium quality and doing about 125 casks so you can reach all casks

thats going to be 4500 * 125 = 562,500

where as normal no quality wouldve been 281,250

[olive patio]

but it takes a bit longer to get to 2x

because you need to go to silver and gold

[stark glade]

can't remember if it's 54 or 56 days total for normal to iridium aging

[maiden fiber]

56

28x2

Fun fact

2250 x 125 x 8 = 2,250,000

If you replaced all casks in cellar with more kegs instead

Within the same time frame as aging wine, hence the 8

[olive patio]

and casks can ONLY go in the cellar

(and work)

otherwise you can use them as decoration

[neat sail]

Which is disappointing, but also makes sense

[tough remnant]

Issue being that kegs process fruit instead of wine

[neat sail]

I need to make more casks tho because I only have the ones you get with the upgrade and they're all full already

[tough remnant]

The whole point of casks is that they let you get more money out of your limited fruit production

If you're already processing all your fruit into wine, and you can't plant more fruit, more kegs won't do shit for you

Casks will though

So they don't really compete

[grave violet]

What’s the chance for a golden fishing chest?

[neat sail]

Need fishing mastery, after that it's 25%, +/- 1-10% depending on daily luck, with the special charm adding 2.5%

[grave violet]

What about with the profession

Does the treasure hunter profession give you more golden chest chance

[tough remnant]

Only indirectly, that was chance for golden to replace regular treasure chests

[grave violet]

Btw does anyone know the exact benefits of the parrot trinket

And the chances

[tough remnant]

Pirate gives more treasure, therefore you will also get more golden treasure

[tough remnant]

On the wiki

[grave violet]

Thanks

[mellow canopy]

getting the Blessing of Energy on the Green Rain event day is

I was out there chopping down everything from sunrise to passing out

[dusty mason]

lmao I managed to get pierre from 2 hearts to 10 in 2 seconds with a bit of tea on his birthday

[golden pond]

Thats how it be lmfao

[dusty mason]

befriending people is so much easier with the stardrop tea, it's so good

[open basin]

One of the best uses of the tea imo ngl

Pierre, Alex and Leo are just such a pain to befriend xd

[dusty mason]

it's so useful with people like pierre, especially, cause his loved gifts kinda suck

[golden pond]

Its the only use of the tea lol

[open basin]

Leo just on his early hearts tho

[dusty mason]

leo isn't that hard to befriend, you just need one mango tree

[mental sail]

Or a duck

[open basin]

I don't think you understand- uses on npcs
The best use is on PIERRE, at least npcs LIKE Pierre

[dusty mason]

but ig going to ginger island is annoying, if you dont have the obelisk

[open basin]

It's not about the gifts, it's about the Island

[golden pond]

Yknow, Pierre also loves the money catalog from the book trader now

[open basin]

It's a pain up until his 6 hearts

I'm not paying 1kg just to gift this child some fruit tbh

[dusty mason]

I already the obelisk rn, so befriending him isn't that bad, but if you don't have it I guess it's a pain

[open basin]

I'm aware, not interested in buying it though, better to just use the tea

[dusty mason]

you only need to go twice a week though, for the 2gifts

[golden pond]

Leo also ducked feather, I use all of mine on him and then Squid ink for Elliot

[open basin]

Yea, I got to GI at winter y1 and already started to befriend him

I rarely have the obelisk by then

[dusty mason]

yeah I see, then it's annoying but I don't see why you would befriend him so early

[golden pond]

Well there’s the problem, I never start befriending the NPCs intentionally until mid year 2 lol

[open basin]

I use all my iridium duck feather to him and just some pomegranate for Elliot

[open basin]

Why wouldn't I...? that's perfection progress haha

[dusty mason]

cause it'd be annoying as you said lol

[open basin]

I'm already planting my stardrops there and doing the QI quests, so every time I go, I give him a feather etc

[open basin]

It's just part of it 🤷‍♂️ I wouldn't stop because it's annoying, it's progress after all

[dusty mason]

I'm also going for perfection, and at this stage of the game it's really easy as I already have a lot of stuff to befriend people

[open basin]

Yea

I always have duck feathers to give him, so I just do

[dusty mason]

but I'm not really trying that hard, I'm just playing casually, mostly

[open basin]

I'm not either though xD

I just have stardrops planted there and every time I go, I try to bring a present so the trip isn't lost

Is all

[dusty mason]

starfruit?

[open basin]

I'm working on the obelisk as well, I'd have 10 dragon teeth by now if the fucking frog didn't eat that dragon that one time

[open basin]

Yea- starfruit

[dusty mason]

lmfao that's awesome

[open basin]

I usually plant starfruit in GI and ancient seeds in the greenhouse, some ancient in GI as well

[dusty mason]

you should've fed the frog at home, it wouldn't be eating all the dragons in the volcano

[open basin]

I got so pissed at the guy that I instantly swapped the trinket, ngl XD

I didn't know nothing would drop so I was just "DID MY GUY JUST-"

[dusty mason]

that is actually incredible lmaoo

[golden pond]

BAHAAHAHAH

[open basin]

Why incredible, it costed me an obelisk !! 😭 /j

Just a joke tho, my banana tree is still growing lol

[golden pond]

The mental image of a small frog just dragging an entire dragon out of lava and swallowing it whole is hilarious

[open basin]

oH YEa hahahdshah

[dusty mason]

I didn't think of it that way LMAO

[open basin]

LOL

[tough remnant]

If it makes you feel better, odds are it wouldn't have dropped a tooth anyway

[open basin]

But I lost even the possibility that it would tho

[dusty mason]

it's 30% if you have burglar's ring

[open basin]

I still have time tho, so it was just annoying lol

Yea, I have the ring too

[dusty mason]

getting the burglar's ring is always one of the first things I do in a playthrough, and then I never take it off

[open basin]

Same, it's always a great acquisition

[dusty mason]

it's so useful

[open basin]

I still remember the day I got the prismatic slime quest, had to work on my kegs and in getting the ring

[mental sail]

It gave me two cursed mannequins at once yesterday, curiously of different genders (I thought it just doubled a drop)

[open basin]

Farmed 3 things at once, it was amazing

[open basin]

Iirc it just kind of rerolls the drop pool or something ?

Can't remember

[dusty mason]

it rolls the loot table twice, yeah

[golden pond]

I just equipped the Burglar’s ring because the Dust sprite slayer goal was the last one I needed to complete somehow, and it made a huge difference and now Im mad I never got it earlier lol

[mental sail]

not really, that would give you more of a spread, but my version isn't accurate either. someone explained it here, it's complicated so doubled works for me usually

[open basin]

Yea that's the burglar canon event lol

Happened to me as well and now it's the first thing that I farm, even before I need kegs

[golden pond]

Like, I now understand people who say they go dust sprite farming

[open basin]

I remember I did a gif of that

[mental sail]

I'm mad that dust sprites are good farming with parrot too, isn't the ring on every save enough? I don't want to see more of them

[dusty mason]

another nice thing about it is if a drop is guranteed, you get double that drop so if a like slime in the dangerous mines has a galaxy soul, it drops two instead of one

[mental sail]

even if it's just slime press fodder, adds up

[open basin]

[golden pond]

I think the best use of the Parrot are the large slimes in SC cause you get them pretty consistently and its like 3-4 free kills

[dusty mason]

ah yes, tonight

[mental sail]

I still don't have one, multiple of the rest but no parrot 👿

[wet geyser]

what is the fastest way to gain xp for mastery ?

[mental sail]

harvesting a big field probably

or bombing sc

[maiden fiber]

Oh yeah I wouldn’t do it. Was just a fun fact in case anyone wanted to use basement for kegs instead :p

[green gyro]

do mushroom logs give more xp or just mushrooms with more trees?

[maiden fiber]

Crop harvests and mines bombing

[tough remnant]

Basement for kegs is a waste.
Basement for crystalariums though...

[neat olive]

interesting, the magic quiver is receiving the benefits of my sword enchantment

just took out a mummy with it

[tough remnant]

Same XP regardless of number of mushrooms

[maiden fiber]

That’s awesome

[quasi sequoia]

simply collect an obscene amount of produce

or mines

[tough remnant]

Yeah, farming and SC deep dives basically

[urban wolf]

shouls i forge my napalm ring with my hot java ring or the burgalar ring

[tough remnant]

Lava Eel fishing in the Caldera can also be pretty good

[upper granite]

Most of my permanent produce is on Ginger Island
Like coffee, tomatoes and grape 🍇

So, it's the perfect place for gaining more XP

[urban wolf]

idk

[quasi sequoia]

meh

[hollow abyss]

does anyone know what this is

[urban wolf]

IS THAT FUCKING REINER BRAUN

[hollow abyss]

nuh uh

[quasi sequoia]

see a movie

i think

[urban wolf]

one of my chickens in named reiner

[hollow abyss]

thanks

[urban wolf]

my horse is named jean

[hollow abyss]

then your horse is prob named jean

[urban wolf]

bc i cannot simply have 1 fixation at a time

[urban wolf]

[urban wolf]

i am no original woman

[hollow abyss]

[urban wolf]

[urban wolf]

i havent been able to think of anything simce aot for months leave me ALONE

cat named dog

hotse named cat

[hollow abyss]

planning to buy a turtle then naming it rat

and a dog naming it horse

[tough remnant]

Yeah I finished AoT recently, fair

[hollow abyss]

i feel like thanos completing the infinity gauntlet

[hollow abyss]

there will nver be an anime like AOT in a while i will enjoy eating esekai garbage this season

[tough remnant]

Now go for the real challenge - getting all hats. You're most of the way there from hat mouse now

[urban wolf]

i havent watched anytuing since it ended

[tough remnant]

Frieren was a good way to soothe my heart after the AoT finale tearing it out

[hollow abyss]

freiren, dungeon meshi

[neat mulch]

Idk y his reaction is just so funny to me 💀

[hollow abyss]

what portrait mod is this

[neat sail]

Why are some achievements hidden with "???" and others tell me what they are (ones I haven't got in this save)? Even ones I haven't unlocked yet in other saves (such as the racoon one)

[tough remnant]

Not as good as the vanilla portrait for that lol

[hollow abyss]

looks kewl

[maiden fiber]

Gil my beloved

[tough remnant]

Ones that are potential spoilers, and ones which are locked behind other achievements are hidden

[dusty mason]

I think penny's going insane, she just said goodbye to the air, and is just walking arround aimlessly
she sat by the stump under the museum the whole day alone doing nothing

the children are all home, is she crazy?

[neat mulch]

Leyalluna's!!

[woven tusk]

Wonder if this is the only other facial expression he has

[steady narwhal]

Seems like it

[neat mulch]

LMFAO I've never seen the vanilla version actually

[tough remnant]

She's staring at a fairy, so it's not looking good for her

[neat mulch]

This was my first time actually turning in my egg level to him cuz I didn't realize that was a thing the 3 other times 💀

[maiden fiber]

Are you married to her

There’s a bug with her marriage rainy schedule iirc

[dusty mason]

yeah

she's literally just standing there not moving, I think she should go visit harvey

the children were home all day, penny

[neat sail]

"craft the most powerful weapon" and "help your forest neighbours" are less of a spoiler than make 10 million gold/cook every recipe/full house? 😭

[tough remnant]

Those are locked behind other achievements

[neat sail]

What's full house locked behind?

[tough remnant]

Living Large

[neat sail]

Problem is I have that one

[tough remnant]

But also I didn't think Full House existed in the actual game?

I thought that was Steam only

[neat sail]

Ohh maybe then, I was just looking on the wiki and couldn't find it in my in-game

So I assumed, tho that makes sense

[tough remnant]

Because CA didn't want to compel people to have kids to 100% the game

[neat sail]

Mm fair

[tough remnant]

Only the stuff with hats actually exists in game

[neat sail]

Mm okay

[young vortex]

so cute

[sudden notch]

I’m wearing that hat

[young vortex]

same

we're leprechauns

[stone bolt]

same

[tough remnant]

Now get the shoes

[soft wasp]

Based CA

[steady narwhal]

Waiting for a train is going to take some time

Welp rip

[tough remnant]

Leprechaun shoes are some of the hardest items to farm in the game

[steady narwhal]

Wait for a train with cargo can be tiresome

[tough remnant]

And you can't save scum them without resetting to the previous day

Because trains don't happen the day you load from menu

[steady narwhal]

Oh gosh

Better keep all the leprechaun shoes you find

[vale quartz]

uhhhhhh

Qi's Crop quest...if its the 'final day'......can i still finish it if i ship them all out today?

cuz i know it doesnt coutn as "shipped" until you sleep

man did i just mess this up lmao

[tough remnant]

I believe no

[silk vortex]

It counts I think?

I am not sure tho

[tough remnant]

I remember having this problem myself at some point, although that was in early 1.5 and might have been fixed since

[vale quartz]

well, i guess ill find out lol

[hidden ore]

good luck, keeping fingers crossed for you!

[vale quartz]

haha ty

this is the first time ive ever actually managed to grow the 500 so....i hope it works lol

[hidden ore]

I just resent having to take out all my crops for that quest so I never accept it

[manic notch]

reached perfection on year 3 wooo

[vale quartz]

i was in winter and had nothing growing anyways haha

[hidden ore]

I always have something in, whether it's those melons or wild seeds or whatever. always. and of course I refuse to touch my ginger island crops

[jagged orchid]

i was wondering how the jellies (the ones u use for fish smoker) work with food buffs do they count as food?

[robust spoke]

ayo multiplayer

imagine having friends who also play this game

[mental sail]

eat one and a food and see if they overwrite?

[jagged orchid]

yeah i just did

they count as food

[mental sail]

ty

[jagged orchid]

kinda dissapointing

i didnt wanna waste one but whatever

[mental sail]

6am is the time for experiments

[manic notch]

judging from reading reddit i thought everyone plays with their wife or something

[jagged orchid]

i was hoping it counted as neither for extra luck maybe

[mental sail]

still a nice buff for the first week at the beach

[vale quartz]

i actually dislike playing with other people

[manic notch]

its way more fun for me idk

maybe because we had a guy who loved fishing and another guy who loved mining

[tidal axle]

more pages on the wiki could benefit tonnes from a strategy page (similar to the jellies page) like the lucky ring pahe

[mental sail]

same, it just doesn't work with my habit of pausing the game and wandering off for twenty minutes all the time

[robust spoke]

btw were these friends or were you playing with randos?

[tidal axle]

my s/o doesn't have their game and i am unable to buy it for them :(

[manic notch]

friends

[vale quartz]

fr, i hate not being able to pause

[robust spoke]

fr

[vale quartz]

i also have a very....particular...playstyle lmaoo

[robust spoke]

ye that does seem nice

[vale quartz]

so when i play with other people im like "yo wtf are you doing rn"

[robust spoke]

single player you have to do everything

had to plan everything to get y1 CC done and Y3 perfection

[vale quartz]

i love doing it all tho

[manic notch]

yeah i didnt have to worry about fishing a catfish or something

[tidal axle]

i wish i knew more people who played this game near my timezone

[vale quartz]

ive never not gotten the CC done in year one 😅😅

[young cargo]

Why do they always end up in the most inopportune places.

[tidal axle]

it's so inconvenient how far away i live from any good time zones

[manic notch]

are you in europe or something

[mental sail]

At least you get them, I haven't had a meteor since 1.4

[tidal axle]

worse, indonesia

there are many european players lmao

[young cargo]

Fair. I'll keep it there in your honor.

[manic notch]

i guess stardew is not a big hit in south east asia

[tidal axle]

not really no

there's australia but they're four hours ahead so not really

[manic notch]

my group was from a terraria group so maybe you can try it from there

[tidal axle]

the one person i play Stardew with on and off is a terraria friend so that checks out!

though terraria isn't popular here either

[latent grove]

Do mushroom trees give seeds now like the fruit trees when cut down?

[buoyant tendon]

if you chop a mushroom tree at its babiest possible form it will give a mushroom tree seed

did it myself

also chat . i am in dire need of garlic for the gourmand in summer of year 2. am i boned. i have no garlic to seed-maker..

[manic notch]

buy oil of garlic from dwarf and deconstruct it if you have deconstructer i guess

maybe thats too much to ask for in year 2

[latent grove]

garlic seeds are sold at the night market in winter year 2, forgot what day though

[buoyant tendon]

oh goodie

[buoyant tendon]

gourmand is how i would access the walnuts to be able to get the deconstructor

[manic notch]

uh

joja parrot

okay that makes it pointless

gotta check traveling merchant idk

i keep a handful of crops in my fridge at all time

[hidden ore]

you can sometimes get them from sc chests, but that's a crap shoot

[manic notch]

i think you can also find it from mystery box

[hidden ore]

I just checked that list on the wiki and didn't find it there

[dense reef]

is the river on the GI farm considered freshwater?

[tidal axle]

yes

idk when it turns from freshwater to saltwater but eventually it does

[vague knot]

I got myself a cursed mannequin (M) and i saw it moved a bit this morning during the night ofc, and when i held my mouse over there was like a green +
What does that mean? It didnt steal any of our clothing, thats why I ask 😄

[tidal axle]

no need to spoiler tsg here

the green + is probably a prompt?

[vague knot]

Oh 😮 Still learning huehue, thanks for letting me know!! :3

[hidden ore]

it can swap clothes with you or change wallpaper or move to your bed and stare at you, I don't remember the specifics for when it does each of these things

[tidal axle]

it's a silly item

[vague knot]

Yea I tried clicking, but nothing happened, then i smacked it with my pickaxe and then the green + was gone xd

[vague knot]

Oh! I only thought it could like, change or steal my clothing 😮 Thats super cool! Thanks for telling me :3

[hidden ore]

ther emight be some other thing it does, I just don't remember

[vague knot]

No worries! Im grateful you told me the other stuff :3

[honest island]

@fringe pecan that bar is a point bar, so like just do normal activities and then you go to the place with those four like door thingys with icons and click on watering can or whatever one you want, you can get a iridium scythe from farming

The cursed mannequin will jumpscare you if rotated too much

[hollow abyss]

(cw: stardew update spoilers) I'm new to this update, what does that mean???

[neat sail]

No need to spoiler here

[buoyant field]

green rain!

[mental sail]

your one-a-year source of huge amounts of moss (and fiber)

[distant pulsar]

green rain, special rain that gives you fiber, moss, and seeds

[neat sail]

Go talk to all the villagers, then restart the day to collect stuff

It's very funny dialogue

And only happens once a year in summer

[mellow atlas]

Oooohhh

That's... odd
But in fun way

[neat sail]

Yup

[mental sail]

and by next year the villagers are used to it, so do take the advice to check their reactions

[mellow atlas]

Do I have to talk all the villagers

[mental sail]

if you care about npcs that is, no gameplay reason at all

[mellow atlas]

If I sleep during this day, will the giant trees disappear next day?

[vale quartz]

update, it still completes the quest <333333333

[mental sail]

most of them, you gain a few semi-permanent ones that stay until you chop them but don't regrow. but the weeds are gone

[vale quartz]

i mean....specific recipes require friendship

[hidden ore]

the fiber and trees go back to normal the next day so you have just the one day to forage all the things

[mental sail]

that can be gained any other day

[mellow atlas]

I'm reaaallyyy new and I dont have friendships yet

[mellow atlas]

I see

What else can I do in green rain, other than talking and gathering?

[distant pulsar]

the most important friendships you want for early game is Robin, Pam, Linus, Clint, and Gus

[mellow atlas]

I'm trying to gain Linus' friendship, the dude seems so nice :3

[timid mountain]

He likes foraged items!

[mellow atlas]

My second 10 hearts character

First was wizard

[hidden ore]

you won't really have time for anything else, just gathering moss and fiber will likely take the full day

(and chopping down fiddlehead fern trees)

[mellow atlas]

nods

:D

[distant pulsar]

did you at least keep one fern 😢

[regal fulcrum]

Now that’s kosh!

[mellow atlas]

Did I needed to? 😭

[distant pulsar]

yes

[mellow atlas]

[mental sail]

there is always next year, no worries

[distant pulsar]

just a tip lol always keep at least 2 or 3 of everything

[brittle peak]

In the future I would recommend not selling moss because you use it in recipes and its not worth very much

[mellow atlas]

I still have these tho

I know that seeds dont worth much

[distant pulsar]

if you have an iron axe you can get more ferns in the secret woods, only in summer though

[brittle peak]

Or a chair

[distant pulsar]

truuueee

[mellow atlas]

I dont have them yet

I'm scared of the mines ;-;

[distant pulsar]

it gets easier lol just go on good luck days

[silver magnet]

mmmmmm Smoked baby...

[distant pulsar]

you will need to get to the bottom though

[mellow atlas]

OH MY GOD?????

WHAT?!??!?!?

[distant pulsar]

smoked fish is the new tea tree saplings

[silver magnet]

yup, i'm a fisherman lv 10 at 27 spring Y1

[mellow atlas]

Woah, how did you catch so much?

[mellow atlas]

So impressive!

[silver magnet]

fall fish + crab pot. also spinner and Quality bait strategy for fishing.

[brittle peak]

How is the iridium selling for 1500g each?

[silver magnet]

lv 10 miner profession

[brittle peak]

Thanks

[silver magnet]

Mining choose miner + blacksmith. you'll get more profit there. geologist is ok but underrated.

[spiral bronze]

except viable late-game as a reliable profit income

[urban wolf]

why are your objects in italics

[mellow atlas]

What's up there and how can I get there?

[distant pulsar]

very end game stuff

[mellow atlas]

Aw :(

[arctic crest]

literal end-game

[urban wolf]

the way that didnt amswer either question

[distant pulsar]

dont wanna spoil it for a new player

[arctic crest]

You need to achieve perfection, and it's the final credits area pretty much

[urban wolf]

...yeah if someone asks a question maybe they want the answer? idk tjo

[mental sail]

nothing useful and win the game would answer both?

[silver magnet]

vanilla tweaks mod. make it look more nicer

Get perfection then come and ask again

[neat sail]

@tough remnant Thanks for adding the new optimal garden pot layout to the wiki 🙏
About to grab a couple sheds for my farm so it makes it easier instead of stalking your messages for the image

[mellow atlas]

I see, ty

[mental sail]

Did casks always finish 6:10 rather than 6:00 or is that new? I almost left the cellar again when suddenly some did pop

[jovial dune]

any opinions on where you like to have junimo chests? I have one at the farm, the island farm, the mines, the volcano, and skull cavern. I keep thinkin maybe it'd be handy to have them elsewhere, but I can never think of where when I think to do it

[mental sail]

bedroom, for that late night prep that you just thought of

[hidden ore]

I have only one pair, in front of shed next to house and at ginger island near shipping bin, I use it to put starfruit seeds in that I buy at the desert and return home (I won't make a special trip to the island just to store them), taro root that I grow on the main farm (for use at island trader) and a couple other similar things.

I don't really see the need for more of them given the limited storage

[crude talon]

its so shiny and blue

[hidden ore]

is someone collecting giant crops? 🙂

[crude talon]

maybeeeeee

[autumn night]

has only just realized the Iridium Scythe allows us to Double Layer trellis crops Because we dont need to rightclick on them

[tough remnant]

It gets better than that

You can stack garden pots in sheds ridiculously dense now

167 potted crops per shed

[olive patio]

so what level is Lewis's house and basement because you could use staircases in it

[brittle peak]

Does the scythe work on kegs and preserves jars?

[tough remnant]

No, just crops

[brittle peak]

Dang

[green gyro]

is there a faster way to get dragon teeth than just checking the volcano mines every day

[shy rivet]

Anyone else having trouble fishing with 1.6? It's almost like the hook behavior is stuck for everything and I have to click super hard to get the bar to move and it fights me. This happens with every lure

[tough remnant]

Lots of stingray ponds

[olive patio]

some fish ponds

[tough remnant]

Nothing at all like that

[hidden ore]

I have a shed filled with 3x3 garden pots because of that scythe

[eternal linden]

Nifty

[tough remnant]

Could easily make those 4x3

[eternal linden]

Indeed

[hidden ore]

some of them. but not all, and I don't need it. I am mulling over putting 3 rows of 1x3 tomatoes since those are the missing item and they are taking up space on ginger island

[autumn night]

I dont have sheds yet lol. Just some barns, coops, and that 192 plot of land at the front of the Meadowfarm

[tough remnant]

Why not all? You'd lose 4/5 empty columns and still have the middle open to move between rows

[autumn night]

Greenhouse is doing the slow fillup of ancient fruit

[hybrid mica]

just got the holy blade and dark sword at the same time, which one should i use for now?

[hidden ore]

I cannot reliably get all 9 of a crop unless I move to an adjacent side for the rest. so I need row space vertically and horizontally

[tough remnant]

You can scythe 3 tiles upwards though

So long as you can access the bottom, you can get all crops in that block

[hidden ore]

yes, I should be able to. but in practice the one in the upper right or upper left corner does not always drop, unless I shift location

and that's after multiple tries.

[brittle peak]

Whatever does more damage

[hidden ore]

note I do not have this problem out of doors, only inside

[tough remnant]

Even when standing all the way against the wall?

[hidden ore]

uh huh

[tough remnant]

Because I haven't had this issue in my testing

[hidden ore]

it's really weird, I tested repeatedly. (on controller though that should not make a difference but you never know)

[neat sail]

Oh controller does make a difference

Note that the "optimal layout" images below apply to mouse/keyboard. Equipment in the corners usually cannot be reached when using a controller or mobile device.

From shed wiki page

[hidden ore]

well my shoulder seizes up if I use mouse very long so that's off the table

[tough remnant]

In my testing, you don't even need to go that far. Standing below the middle column of peppers and scything upwards should get the top corner.

[hidden ore]

yeah does not work for me, sadly. one corner or the other will not drop

[tough remnant]

That's for the machine layouts, it shouldn't make a difference for shed

Forgot to correct that

[neat sail]

Oh for iridium scythe?

[tough remnant]

Yeah

[hidden ore]

yes, without the scythe I wouldn't be able to do these 3x3 trellis at all of course

[tough remnant]

I did my scythe testing with just keyboard actually

[neat sail]

Nah ik ik, didn't know that the line from wiki didn't apply to controller

[tough remnant]

I do most of my shed harvesting with just keyboard

[neat sail]

I could connect a controller to my pc and test it? Unless you have on easily accessible yourself

[tough remnant]

I'm trying to sleep so I don't

[hidden ore]

"trying" being the operative word I guess

[neat sail]

Ah yeah get your sleep, I'll test it later tonight and update wiki as I'm making a shed for it now

[harsh plover]

Does anyone else make a neat little honor chest just for the tools you don't need anymore (original scythe, golden scythe, original slingshot etc)

[tough remnant]

Sure, tool collection chest

[hidden ore]

well kind of a junk chest really, I keep one of each weapon I get and sell the rest off, the old tools go in there too

[harsh plover]

Hmm, I have a different chest for weapon collection (1 of each)

But oh well

Can you even get rid of em?

[hidden ore]

weapons? adv guild of course. tools? dunno

[harsh plover]

I meant the scythe and golden scythe

Is there even a way to get rid of them lol

[hidden ore]

I dunno in 1.6. I don't even have the golden scythe so I can't test that 😄

[mental sail]

forgetting stuff in an obscure chest is very effective for important things, needs to be good enough for old tools

[gray oriole]

Can u not toss them into water?

Ive never tried to throw a tool out of my inventory tbh

[woven tusk]

Wouldn't Lewis mail it back to you

Even if you could

Oh wait, I guess that's the Lost-and-Found, these days

[neat sail]

Same as apergos, just a chest with all my tools

[woven tusk]

Used to be that if you lost a tool by dying in the mines (which no longer happens either), Lewis would mail it back to you and it would revert to crappy not-upgraded status

[neat sail]

You can't toss them unfortunately

My friend had to bring me a pickaxe for the mines because I forgot mine but we only realised when she'd arrived to give it to me

So much time wasted

[crude talon]

aawww

[stark glade]

day 17 of trying to get at least one of the volcano boots from chests

still none

I got more golden coconuts and cinder shards than one farmer will ever need

[hidden ore]

one farmer can use an awful lot of cinder shards

[stark glade]

do I realistically need more than 700

[hidden ore]

well besides enchanting all your tools and weapons (which may take multiple tries to get what you want), there are also recipes you need to buy with cinder shards, one crafting item you need them for, the shoes from the dwarf, a bed and torches you can get, so yeah you might be going back for more

if you get lucky and get the good enchants onr e first or second try on all your tools, then you're probably fine

[stark glade]

what's the best enchant for the hoe anyway

I have swift on it

[hidden ore]

I wanted reaching because I do periodically need to hoe the outdoor fields on my main farm, I don't plant throwaway crops (or fiber) to keep them from becoming untiled

you might find something else more useful though

[stark glade]

I think the ones I'm not sure on is swift hoe, shaving axe and powerful pick

I don't have that many prismatic shards though so

[hidden ore]

I love shaving, it's very nice. especially for hardwood where every extra pieces really add up

[silver magnet]

i blown myself up, rip 99 iron ore

[hidden ore]

for the pick I dont' find powerful to make a difference, swift however is very handy in the mines

[hidden ore]

adv guild lost item recovery service? or are you going to claim one of the other items?

[stark glade]

the extra level does cut the amount of hits on some rocks

nodes*

[silver magnet]

there is an adv guild recovery service? i tot there is only one variant

[stark glade]

there's only one recovery service

you can talk to marlon in the guild for it

[hidden ore]

yeah you need to stop by the guild when it's open and you can choose to get one of the lost items back (for the price shown there)

the value of the one item, not the value of all the items, to be clear

[lost kite]

Did the update say there were new villigers coming from the big tree or smt

[hidden ore]

not new villagers precisely but..new, er, residents 😄

[lost kite]

Ohh like who?

[hidden ore]

well they are not human residents 😄 😄

[lost kite]

Ohhh like the raccoon?

And who else was there-

Welp i thought there was new villagers in town after like 2 or three years lmao

[silver magnet]

crab pot + smoker strat is giving me passive income, as long as i provide enough coal

[hidden ore]

regular visits to the quarry can help with the coal situation

[tough remnant]

If you want to have a collection of all your favourite boot colours, but with good stats, cinderclown shoes are the easiest actually good shoes to get to use as stat donors, and they cost 100 cindershards each

[silver magnet]

thanks to the new coal deposits there it really helps alot

[last stag]

Has anyone tried Gemologist w/ mining mastery extra gems would it generate 3 or 4 gems?

[hidden ore]

given I've never even seen a pair of mermaid boots, yeah those are the default shoes all right

although I didn't quite understand what you meant by "at stat donors"

oh. for transmog or whatever it's called, you mean?

[tough remnant]

As not at lol

[hidden ore]

yeah that typo fix made it make sense!

[tough remnant]

Yeah custom tailored shoes

[hidden ore]

yeah I am not fond of the pointy curly toes look, but the stats are sweet

[tough remnant]

Huh, do they actually look different when wearing them now?

That's new if so

And I hadn't noticed

[hidden ore]

also.. I note that you are still here typing and not asleep. cough

[tender meteor]

Which bait do you use?

[jade rose]

whenever I give a bad gift to someone and they say "that's terrible" I always think of pirates of the caribbean w tia dalma giving jack the jar of dirt like.. "if you don't want it, give it back"

ostrich egg

[silver magnet]

does anyone have glowing butterflies at winter night?

is that normal?

[arctic crest]

yea, its jsut aesthetics

[hidden ore]

I have seen them a fair amount and I suppose it's normal in 1.6 at any rate

[arctic crest]

like frogs running from weeds as you cut them
Seagulls on the beach
fireflies in cindersap forest/ at night
etc

[hidden ore]

anything that makes the world feel a little more alive (without making it feel more creepy :-P) is fine by me

[mental sail]

like the new stealable fall decorations around town

[arctic crest]

is the opossum creepy to you? 👉👈

[gray oriole]

oppossums are friend shaped

[jade rose]

I always take the jack-o-lanterns lol

[neat sail]

All animals are friend shaped

don't forget to relocate the graveyard lanterns to the raccoons, they have it awfully dark there

[mellow atlas]

does the rain totem affect GI?

[hidden ore]

no. not at all, but I'd like not to have oh shadow shamans wandering around to liven things up, as an example. and glad the game hasn't gone that way

I moved the birdhouse to the entrance to the farm and I see birds more often there now (I have one by the greenhouse but it never gets visitors)

[midnight knoll]

It affects wherever you use it

[chilly bloom]

Mainland or gi

[jovial dune]

Mostly, I keep tools in them that I may want in various places. My scythe, watering can, hoe, fishing rod, axe, pan, stack of stairs, and sometimes bombs are accessible where I generally need them most, without eating up my inventory

typed that out and forgot to hit Enter >_<

[hidden ore]

huh, I usually only need a few of those and (given I have all the backpack upgrades) I just take the ones I need with me for the day

[hybrid mica]

i suppose this means ive done this quest before? first time i see this

[eager sundial]

IRIDIUM PAN IS MY GOD

FREE ORES, CLOTHES, LUCKY RINGS AND ETC

[green gyro]

best enchantments for each tool?

and also what gems do you forge

[jovial dune]

I use Crusader sword, Powerful pick, Shaving axe, Reaching hoe and watering can, Master fishing rod, and Reaching on pan but I almost never use it so dunno.
And I put Aquamarines on my sword for the additive crit. This is the time where I respec my Combat skill to crit talents. With luck buff, I generally get to around 28% crit chance, which one-shots most things when it crits.
I should also say I use Powerful pick and Shaving axe because I have an animation cancel key, so Swift isn't necessary. Otherwise, probably Swift on them

its been a week

wheres 1.6.4

[brittle peak]

On the 10th he said sometime next week and "next week" isn't over yet

[uncut epoch]

When you don't play multiplayer:

gotta make most out of it

[austere oracle]

Does anyone happen to know if the rewards change each year for the trout derby/squid fest?

[dusty mason]

ooo, this background's really cool, in the night of the green rain event

[broken portal]

they do not

[austere oracle]

Thank you

[midnight knoll]

If i had 2 nickels for every video game involving an event called a squidfest, i have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but its weird it happened twice.

[subtle mauve]

should i get foraging or fishing mastery

[midnight knoll]

Farming

[subtle mauve]

are you stupid

farming was not one of those choices

[midnight knoll]

Fine, mining

[brittle peak]

Foraging

[subtle mauve]

k

[broken portal]

fishing

foraging isnt that useful

[subtle mauve]

i just picked foraging

[broken portal]

foraging just gives you mystic trees, which are good for mushroom farms but thats about it

[subtle mauve]

doesnt matter that much fishings my last one

[broken portal]

fishing gives you better iridium rod

[subtle mauve]

alr then

[gray oriole]

do you fish

[subtle mauve]

sometiems

[midnight knoll]

Mystic trees are really good though

[broken portal]

which can have two bobbers

[gray oriole]

if you don't fish very often then fishing mastery doesn't exactly do anything

[midnight knoll]

Heavy tapper should work on mahogany trees

[broken portal]

fishing mastery lets you do this

[brittle peak]

Mastery gets harder everytime tho right? So imo foraging should be the first because it's so hard to get foraging lvls up

[gray oriole]

the xp requirement increase for every mastery is pretty irrelevant

[subtle mauve]

you get mastery points from doing everything

[brittle peak]

How did you get so many legend 2?

[broken portal]

?

[gray oriole]

challenge bait

[broken portal]

you can catch multiple

as long as you dont complete the quest

[gray oriole]

he's talking about the slight exp increase for every next mastery level

[brittle peak]

Oh

[brittle peak]

What quest?

[broken portal]

extended family

qi quest

[brittle peak]

Dang

And it let's you catch 16 or more?

[midnight knoll]

Infinite more

[crude talon]

nearly there ...

[gray oriole]

however many you can fit in the time limit

[midnight knoll]

How do you have 3 legendary fish and no clams

[mellow atlas]

my first big achievement

back in 1.5

24 july 2021...

then drop a game for almost 2 years

[crude talon]

i use mods for fishing coz i suck but stillll

[mellow atlas]

i got 100 fish 8 days before i got 15k gold..

i started in coop first

[tidal obsidian]

me when i want powdermelon seeds and i get an ancient fruit seed

[midnight fossil]

Lets goooo!!!

[open basin]

And it just looks so good doesn't it?

Powdermellon is just a really cute fruit, can't elaborate

I can actually, it's perfectly round and has this very cute blue shade

[autumn night]

Does having 2 Cork Bobbers stack? Plus all the +Fishing buffs. Im curious how big the bar gets lol

[ember latch]

do I need normal trees for the new ||mushroom log|| or the ones from the ||green rain (mossy seeds)||?

[autumn night]

Normal trees, type matters for results

[ember latch]

thank you 👍

[midnight fossil]

it does! it popped up in a really bad spot but i dont wanna get rid of it lol
certainly my favorite large fruit

[ember latch]

the german description is really confusing in this case. The ||mushroom log|| says it needs "wild trees". And the ||mossy seeds|| descriptions says "will grow wild trees"

[eternal linden]

Will a crop fairy always affect the same set of tiles?

Like if I get one, then load up a new save, will it affect the same area

[robust spoke]

my man is out here perfect catching legend 2s

[eternal linden]

?

[robust spoke]

meanwhile I cant even perfect catch lava eels

[eternal linden]

If you perfectly catch 25 with challenger bait then smoke them you get 7 million

Assuming 50% more for fish and 40% more for artisan goods

[open basin]

But how does one perfect catch a legend though

I'm curious on the strat

[eternal linden]

That is more than enough to bypass obelisks and the clock

[autumn night]

Make the green bar the size of the entire box?

[ember latch]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Random_Events#The_Crop_Fairy
it will choose a random crop and the surrounding 5x5
but the game will roll it out when it saves if I'm not wrong. So loading the same day/save will change nothing?

[open basin]

I asssume that wasn't possible ngl

[eternal linden]

Advanced Iridium Rod, Statue blessing, two Cork Bobbers, level 16 fishing

[open basin]

The powdermelon is distant cousin

[autumn night]

You can have 2 cork bobbers, and Seafoam pudding. I assume the bar gets massive

[open basin]

Perfection runs through their blood

[eternal linden]

Gets a fishing bar half the size of the fishing zone

[open basin]

I figured, but to the point of covering the entire box?

[open basin]

Oh, I see

[eternal linden]

That is impossible, but half is possible

[open basin]

I just got the extended family quest but just completed it like normal
Maybe the next time I'll give it a try

[autumn night]

I didnt know either, not there yet. Fishing will be my last mastery

[open basin]

Looks fun

[eternal linden]

It was my first because I was motivated by ludicrous fishing bar

[open basin]

Fair enough lol

[autumn night]

I prefer fishing in Stardew, but that Scythe was tempting me.

[open basin]

I think it was my third or fourth, but I already completed it

Oh the scythe was the cold coffee in a cold raining day for me

[eternal linden]

The biggest fishing bar is 16 fishing, deluxe bait, 2 Cork Bobbers

[open basin]

God it feels the best to harvest starfruit with it damn

[autumn night]

Can it be enchanted for more range?

[eternal linden]

But the deluxe bait bonus is very small so switching with challenger yields more profit

[gray oriole]

19 fishing

[eternal linden]

How 19?

[gray oriole]

desertfes

[eternal linden]

Oh true

[open basin]

So the best moment to farm would with the quest and the desert fest?

[eternal linden]

Can you keep the bonus outside the festival?

[open basin]

Sounds like something really annoying to wait for

[eternal linden]

Pretty much

[gray oriole]

its not like you need the biggest fishing bar

[open basin]

Yea

[eternal linden]

A 3 day period where you can catch legends like crazy

[autumn night]

Quest, Desert Fest, and a Statue blessing?

[gray oriole]

if you have a blessing of water it doesn't matter

for the first 3 anyway

[eternal linden]

That would be a few hours of better fishing at best

[gray oriole]

you'd rather use sonar + quality tackles and challenger bait

[open basin]

I wanna do a mini-comic where I bring 48 legends II into our house and Haley is just dumbfounded

[eternal linden]

Why quality?

[woven tusk]

Couldn't you go back to the desert to reapply the buff?

[gray oriole]

i guess treasure tackle is an option too

it doesn't really matter either way, blessings of water renders any fishing issues irrelevant for the first 3 legends

[eternal linden]

The statue is only the first few times pretty sure

[woven tusk]

Bonus panel: (Crunch crunch) "...This is still better than anything Emily ever made for dinner."

[gray oriole]

he means the desertfes fishing buff

[eternal linden]

Yeah, but it is a few hours because of the statue

[gray oriole]

which I mean you can but teleporting from lake to desert and then back is kinda annoying

[woven tusk]

Three catches are a few hours...?

[gray oriole]

if you absolutely need it, go for it

[autumn night]

I think we're ignoring how astronomically lucky you'd need to be to have Statue, Desert fest, and the quest, in the same 3 day window in Spring

[gray oriole]

it's less about having all of them

and more knowing what options you have available to make the process easier whenever you get the quest

[autumn night]

We're discussing absurdity :p

[gray oriole]

not everyone is good enough to perfect catch legends with no buffs or tackles

[eternal linden]

I like to think I could
