did you toss from inventory like you would for throwing it away? I did that but it doesn’t work
I'd get combat for the trinket slot, unless you're planning to do a lot of fishing soon
aye was considering that
Like, I'm damn good at fishing, I was the first person to get full perfect catches for all fish, and my perfection rate for Legend/Legend II is like... 1/20 maybe
and im saving the legendary fish for mastery
so i can guarentee the iridium quality
You gotta stand at the edge of the land with the doll in your hand and Interact
if you find a slime-infested floor you can easily access, that'd be a great place to look
(trap bobber and quality bobber)
the first mastery I got was farming cause iridium scythe go brrr and then the second one I got was fishing cause I had grabbed the Extended Family quest
I selected it in my hotbar and clicked to throw it like one would throw fish into a fish pond
if you can find an easy early infested floor, it can be good, but, the slimes in the secret forest can NOT be prismatic, never check there
hm you did it right then
Anyway, wild bait actually a good idea for Legend II fishing
I thought so, that's what I did last run
basically
uhh extended family isnt prismatic slime quest
.
nvm i just joined lol
basically, for harder fish, use wild, for easier fish use challenge
yeah heh it's two conversations
what's the 'average' perfection time?
is spring y3 achievable if you are on summer y2 and you havent done a single thing regarding perfection yet 😅
For most fish, I'd highly recommend Targeted Bait instead. Legendaries however are barely affected by targeted bait due to quirks in how they're coded
des fes can really give u buffs huh
if you are looking for specific fish yeah use targetted, but
if you are just fishing normally say in the river or lake, id use challenge
can someone eli5 what the damage for a club weapon's "special attack" is? I can't seem to find that anywhere
Hey yall, im using the standard ahk animation cancel script and keep having issues with it still running and touching things like chests and what not even while im not pressing x, any ideas how to fis? Below is the script
#IfWinActive Stardew Valley
x::
While GetKeyState("x","P")
{
sendEvent {LButton Down}
sleep 10
sendEvent {LButton Up}
sleep 125
sendEvent {r Down}{Delete Down}{RShift Down}
sleep 10
sendEvent {r Up}{Delete Up}{RShift Up}
}
sleep 30
return
Yeah, those are mostly perfectable
i think its just the normal attack damage in an AoE i could be wrong tho
just the special cant crit like normal attacks
What’s the best mastery with gi unlocked
I mean yeah but like as a first pick
got a large crop field? get farming first.
iridium scythe
Is this what people use to animation cancel with nowadays?
yea I saw the video blade did debunking myths so I knew not to check there
took a long time but finally got perfection.
Grats!
year three what
Yes
im terrible at the game im on year four and im not even done the community center
tbf i hate animals so thats maybe why wheeze
I try doing cc by the end of y1
well good thing stardew valley aint a speedrun simulator, so u cant be bad at the game
How come his isn’t working right 
fair
i use razer macro
works for me lol
I dunno I don’t know the exact script atm lol
honestly this was harder than perfection.
huh
Thank you !!!!!
Try this maybe? @indigo plover
Could i ask what your macro is? or do you just record inputs and do the animation cancel inputs?
Thanks so much for the help!
razer macro makes it so easy
also is it just me or do
golden mystery boxes like
suck dog?
eh, i got a decent amount of crackers from it. so it's okay.
plus it can drop auto petters now so that's neat
Perfection in winter y3 is insane holy good job
New chance for autopetter so
i mean i guess
i guess ill stockpile the goldens
Most mystery boxes suck so like
and save scum
Some people have managed it by the end of Y2 but one of the great things about Stardew is that we can all play at our pace. Y3 is still very good.
It's seeded, use stardew valley predictor
i mean
i guess, dunno how i feel about that
Just letting you know savescumming won't do anything unless you open other geodes in different orders
and is it updated for 1.6?
Yeah
thats-
thats what i was gonna do
would've taken me till year 4 spring to buy the clock, if it weren't for the racoons selling fairy dusts. i can't believe I've thought fairy dust was useless.
Ahh, thought you meant just opening a bunch of golden boxes and restarting to open them again
I love petting mine
i cant do that every day
i like petting them too, but doing it every day is just painful
I just keep them close to my house, go and pet them the moment they come out the door
when you have sprinklers but no autopetter, the time spent watering your crops gets replaced with animal petting time
Uiis2 does make it easier but
thats how i like to slice it in my head
Exactly this
im trying to add emily's 1.6 flower dance quotes but i have never used a source editor in a wiki
skull cavern's been really nice to me this run.
Watering my 700 crops? No thanks, iridium sprinkler
But petting my 30 animals? Yeah that's fine I just hold right click and walk around them until the pet icon goes away
now that i have both i generally just fill my early hours of the day with fishing
... what use is there to dry food?
worth more
Didnt know this was a thing. Damn, this could be used to make sure you can get some serious advantages on a new save. Does feel cheaty.
feels a bit too cheaty for me
id only use it if i have like
ONE artifact left
and a lot faster processing than preserves and kegs
yeah im waiting until i get the mastery in fishing
it's so nice
Yeah I'm only using it because I have literally one gem left
so i can use trap bobber and quality bobber
I'm like... 5 away from it?
i would honestly recommend two cork bobbers once you get fishing mastery
I have a good few artifacts but I think they're all hoe/mine spots
with the challenge bait, you can start reeling 3 at a time if its perfect so you want that bar as loooooong as possible
it's really for overflow of fruits your kegs can't process. I've got an entire shed and most of the time most dehydrators are idle because I can't keep up production.
im only using trap and quality for the legends
I forgot I messed with name randomizations, and now this is the recommended name for my baby.
then its exclusively corks
ahhh
Yeah I've got 30 kegs and a solid 130 starfruit/ancient fruit that needs to be kegged sitting in a chest
(lol)
Not gonna dehydrate cause I'm not overflowing that much but
I've got a shed of kegs and two stacks of ancient fruit and 102 gold ancient fruits.
Wow
Dehydrate is nice when you have so much that youre considering just binning stuff.
fuck i missed a couple
this is the worst feeling ;-;
cant harvest these until the next bloom
most of the ancient fruits i get now are going straight into the dehydrator only the gold gets put into the kegs, but I still haven't made a dent into the two other stacks
wait
why do gold go into kegs
Right I was about to ask the same.
if dehydrator is the play why do they go into kegs
no real reason, but gold does give only around 5 gold profit on dehydrator when compared to selling the fruit outright
Wont improve the wine either though.
I only put them into kegs because it makes it feel more valuable even tho it really doesn't matter for kegs
Okay, makes sense.
It would be nice if high quality produce had a small chance to yield higher quality wine, but it just doesnt.
there is a mod that does do that
keeps the quality of the fruit you put in for what it produces
Sure but Id rather not mod that because money would be too easy to get.
this is basically my keg chests, the two other stacks haven't been touched in a long time.
any new silver or regular ancient fruit goes into the dehydrator which is around a stack each time.
GOD
oh my lordddd i keep forgetting to check the travelling cart, i really want the junimo catalogue, and so i checked everyday this week and was like "okay cool its friday, dont forget to go!" and what do i do
check my fortune, start my animal stuff processing, go to skull cavern AND FORGET UNTIL 10PM
omg i have so many mahogany BUT MAPLE AND ACORNS...
ive been farming the stumps and slimes for two seasons and i only have 28 seeds
LESS GOO (idk if this belongs in this chat 'cos of new update achievements)
painnnn
yeah this belongs here i think
I'm only missing full house and joja on mine.
Good job!
8 new fish tank decorations
include...
i REFUSE TO DO JOJA
ooohh where did the castle come from?
I mostly pretend the Prairie King stuff doesn’t exist. Abigail wants help? Click skip
the sword and the shorts are 💯 🔥
oohh neat
The castle is soo cute
i just noticed the spongebob pineapple]
Hmm. Only 3 of those are suitable for my all-iridium fish tanks
Is that the broken sword artifact?
yes
Cooooool. Thank you
think this will last me all winter?
One would hope so
total 14 items can throw in the tank
my farm has crabs :(
you monster
does this include the stationary fishes or is it different?
why did you put garbage in the tank >:(
calm down
just try out new decoration items
JOOOJA COOOOLA and pants and pinapple and shell and hardwood and castle and rainbow shell???? And is that a sword i see
the answer is yes
Broken sword artifact, castle is clay, lightblue shell is probably clam
Cool
That is the darkblue shell
The white one is a pearl
Oh, thank you
What do clams look like in a fishtank then, actually
They don't just use their upright sprite in there, do they?
Oh, thanks
has anyone's fairy companion changed colours yet?
Wdym changed?0
They're not supposed to, though maybe 1.6.4 changing the code for fairy colors might've done it just the once
Apparently fairy color is determined by farm ID and player ID. So your fairy is yours
the patch notes say that there are 4 new colours for the fairy companion
weird - just looked online and someone logged in and their fairy changed colours from what it was before the patch
I haven’t got all my skills to 10 yet, so no fairy for me yet
I have the riverland farm.
Ye. Because the patch added another four colors so the same farm&player ID may land on a different color now
are there any drinks that give luck bonus
Ginger ale
is it just +1
yeh. +1 is a lot.
Add seasoning and it's +2 instead, I think
ok good to know, so max during des fes is +8 then
oh i didn’t even think about seasoning
:0….
I didn’t look at patch notes yet tbh
so maybe +10 then? idk if u can season lucky lunch to +4
I thought MRC was +5
MRC?
rock candy
Magic Rock Candy
oops wrong reply
oh does it give more luck?
got this from a perfect catch 😎
oh shi it does
I don't think you can catch smoked fish?
the iridium sturgeon i caught
then smoked
so wait i wonder what the max possible then is, if lucky rings stack, magic rock candy, seasoned ginger ale, farmer statue and des fes
you get, +5 rock candy, +2 on seasoned ginger ale(haven't tested it yet), +3 ony desert buff, +2 with two lucky rings
ah can u not combine 2 lucky rings to get to +4 (2 combined)
Ring can't combine with self
can't combine same rings
ohh
so 13 is max if we include the statue
but u can get 12 consistently during des fes
yeh i guess
i think i witnessed something try to steal truffle that i was about to harvest
Kill it
cant believe they're promoting bad aquariums, that is way too much stuff
can u not season rock candy
catch it
Can you tell me how to cook rock candy?
i killed it cuz i accidentaly swung my sword 💀 and i was like ERMM
oh right
Abigail is in shambles
herobrine
though technically i think if you can somehow get an iridium rock candy via cheating, it gives +6 luck.
there is a imposter among truffles
i still havent seen a truffle crab and i've been playing for like 1.5 years now with a pig
yes
Emergency Meeting
skull caver paying off
ya girl is boutta go innnnn
speaking of the desert festival, does anyone know if the tv that george sells works as an actual tv?
i didn’t even know george could go to the desert
I forgot that the witch's swamp hut has a teleporter to the wizard's basement. I haven't gotten around to befriending the wizard but now I can get Meowmeres that way
multiple?
the wizard is so easy to befriend, its just going out of your way to him thats an issue
I'm 99% it does
Yes, you can do the doll/lava thing more than once and get more than one faraway stone
Exactly 
i know i’m just questioning why u want multiple
One for collection and one for reskinning the Infinity Blade
And maybe one for reskinning a Haymaker weapon
it's so pretty
wait i think i bought that lemme try
yay
dang, that just makes me more upset that george didnt sell anything in the years i went
emily was selling like 3 different times in 6 days
does anyone know if you have to buy your spouse's portrait first in order to get catalogues in the travelling cart?
does sprinkler fill the pet bowls
No you don't have to
I got the retro catalogue first spring
thank you!! man i just gotta remember to check the cart more i suppose
does anyone know if the friendship points required for the flower dance changed in 1.6? I've seen some people reporting that they succeeded in getting a dance at 3 hearts in their latest playthrough (and also equal amount of people saying that they failed at 3 hearts)
idk i’m year 3 and finally got a girlfriend in this so
unless its changed for 1.6, no
MRC, Seasoned Ginger Ale, two Luck Rings, Chef buff, Luck Blessing. +13 total
ye we figured that out i just forgot about a bunch of stuff
winter as a non-decorator is such a pain ngl
or rather, i would love to but its so harddd especially on riverlands </3
Only if you rely on pigs or crops
ginger island also says hi
i’m horrible at decorating as well
and skull caverns
winter is just my SC days mostly
does someone know what are the new non-fish things that you can get in the fish ponds?
i dont tbh, im at that point in the game where im waiting for stuff to grow - like my mystic trees, which thank god i fertilized - so i can hit completion
99% :')
yeah thats what i do, at least for starfruit
you mean the 8 additional non-fish items you can put in fish TANKS?
from the 1.6.4 patch
its also just kinda sadddd like :( let my animals out
yeah same

well thats a nice layout
still need to get all the loot tho
yeah fair enough, but i remmeber when i first did the volcano that getting to 10 was nigh impossible
i feel that
oof, why does it fill the slime bowl but not pet bowls, I want them to always have water but don't have time to water it each and every morning
I'm usually at like floor 9 at like 1am in a MP run
Ovaries lol
yeah its kinda odd
lesgooo
ive gotten pretty speedy at it though, not sure how
lets gaurr
literally
No way a bug in the fuckin mutant bug lair drops me a magic quiver
The trinkets arent that rare.
I got a lot.
Not sure if this is a part of the new update or not, but I got a quest to bring Marnie a Cave Carrot to her farm and I did and gave it to her and the quest didn't complete
take them away from meeeeeeeeeee
first decent SC run
dark cowboy hat W
Nice
You gotta hold the carrot and walk into her store I know
Between 9 to 5
Ah Ok I'll try again thanks 😄
STOP ILL CRY
dumbest quest ever i tell you what.
do we have any mechanics info on rerolling innate enchantments?
can i only choose 1?
for now
at first yeah
I am totally not the guy to do so for innate enchants
one per mastery level
i would probably go combat or mining first
unless you do a lot of fishing/animal farming
farming is excellent. Iridium scythe is no joke
golden animal crackers too
frees up a LOT of time
Farming is the best first imo
combat and mining make skull cavern so much easier though
Then combat, mining/fishing and then foraging
do things
it’s just any xp, so a lot of farming or sc works
farming mastery xp is nerfed, but it's still good if you have large fields of crops and the iridium scythe. Big, fast bumps of mastery xp
Farming still best
i went with combat bc "omg cute fairy"
Especially when ginger island and deluxe sheds are there like cmon
stinking bats won't give me apples
like the pink/purple combo with me, the fairy, and horse is too peak
you dont even need deluxe sheds, just place the kegs everywhere that people dont walk around much
what does immunity to debuffs mean in relation to getting slimed and stuff
it just means they happen less often, they dont reduce the effects
10% chance per immunity point when u would've gotten the debuff for it to not happen
does that mean its impossible to get at 10+ immunity?
yes
each level of immunity is 10% less chance to get a status debuff
i guess that would be pretty hard to reach without specific items
part of why basilisk paw's considered kinda bad is because ur already 1 ring short of debuff immunity anyway when using endgame boots
not really
so basilisk paw's effectively doing 1 ring worth of stuff
mermaid boots already bring you to 70% resistability
isn't it 80%
well if you have the boots you're really close but you would still need the immunity band
Pretty much yeah
the cinder shoes r already 50% as well and are less rng
||does anyone know how i can get there its right under clints shop||
1 ring and 2 defence
||Check the area where you can't see a fence (;||
Since it also lets you swap to Dragonscale Boots
ty 
Is defense really all that good? One point of defense is literally 1 less damage and that's it
im running a tank build atm with the crab ring, a fairy, and a vampire infinity gavel and its really good
what even is that
nothing compared to a whole 10% more
a secret
o
not really, but it's still something
No, but it's slightly better than just a ring slot
god this is gonna take forever
If you don't want me to spoil it for you
Just know that the lost book in the library (the one in dwarvish) contains a secret
go blow up skull caverns
where can I squeeze the napalm ring in this?
Iridium band + lucky ring
Burglar's + lucky
one of the luckys
guess ill wait till sunday, been stockpiling jades
Isn't luck huge tho
i mean
It almost feels like the best ring in the game
you mostly get luck from foods
Yeah but it stacks
What crops should I buy now that I don't have the 15 parsnips weighing me down?
Meadowland farm
more parsnips
I guess so. I think it would also be better to pair it with burglar's and not napalm for when I'm not in the mines and then I can have a lucky ring for non-combat activities
until the 13th where you swap to strawberries
i feel like im the only person who uses the slime ring always, like non-negotiable lmao
depends on what ur trying to achieve
Slimes aren't that bad once you learn to deal with them
They really aren't the biggest threat of the caverns
nah theyre not at all, its just annoying
if you're trying to do a normal run, most ppl go strawberries for cash to grow starfruit in summer i think
so i just walk around bombing and ignoring em
haha I guess that's good too, especially for avoiding the slimed debuff
if u wanna do something fancy, I believe kale gives the best xp/crop?
can anyone tell me why i jsut got 5 anchors in a row
Clint was in a piratey mood
You can put them in fish tanks
whats that
hardmode switch
the evil button
don't worry about it til u finish ginger island
can someone pls show me what is thaaat?🥺
fairy trinket got new skins
I hope soon there will be something like the seed bag mod that let's u throw seeds or something
I don't really enjoy un regrowable crops it would be an awesome qol
Is there prismatic?
dunno, did not check
Ok
I wonder if it's buffed
Fairy just doesn't do enough for me to not use ice rod or parrot egg
ice rod ganggg
Fairy tends to mitigate most damage over time if you're caving by megabomb spam
I'd only turn that on with a monster musk
where my squid hat at
will the new mine layouts appear in skull cavern?
put staircase in lewis room
Can anybody tell me what/ where the octopus frenzy is because i got the notification but I can't find an event anywhere?
is this day 1 of the squid fest
bc if so, tomorrow is when you get the squid hat as your top reward
you get it tomorrow
I do have ginger island unlocked, but not the resort
I'll go looking though thank you
HELL YEAH NEIGHBOURS
omg
i have -6.4 luck today and i fished a golden treasure chest and it had TWO golden animal crackers
unlucky day my ass
lets go baby
WTF do you mean -6.4
Daily luck only ranges from -0.1 to +0.1
no?
Yes
daily luck can go to 12 or 14
No it can't, highest is 0.125, and that's just max range + special charm
It's always a fractional value
omfg istg my best skull cavern run - like 8 shards not below level 100 (so only iridium rock thingies) was on a neutral day
istg?
i think perhaps theyve multiplied it to be a whole number
Probably
"i swear to god"
ah ok
so what was my luck then today?
how do i divide it?
Effects of daily luck are weird and inconsistent anyways
-0.64 i think
oh
-0.064 actually
though according to this it shouldnt be abel to
able*
oh yeah youre right
friday brain
I think they just converted it to a percentage
also are the crackers individual animals or the building?
Individual animals
individual
Shrine of challenge for the dangerous caverns after Qi's quest
What's the best mastery claim to choose first?
farming! the iridium scythe and the statue of blessing is great on their own
makes harvesting crops en masse way quicker
except for fish ponds, these are one cracker per building
Iridium scythe just means higher reach on obtaining the fully grown crops?
Either that or mining if you do more of that.
Kinda meh for me since I have junimo hut unlocked
ya that was why i was wondering
This could be good but idk about dwarvish forge yet. Haven't gone too far in ginger island cave
i also have junimo huts but i use the scythe for ginger island + greenhouse
saves SO much time
The improved furnace alone is worth getting early for me, finally getting through that ore backlog
I went Mining>Farming>Combat>Fishing>Foraging (I think)
Nvm I have to levelup first before claiming lmao
I thought I could claim one right away
Whoopsie. And with the recent nerf as well.
But yeah, heavy forges are pretty great to me.
has the winter star exploit been patched?
(Getting a different gift depending on time of day)
Just had to download another update, what happened...
Huh? On steam?
Yeah
1.6.5 already
@mental sail You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
greedy
They want dried morel from me...
what the hell is he even gonna do with geodes
Bro that’s so easy
I got cherry jam
is he going over to clint's to get them broken open like we have to
they're crunchy
So can I use the books to level up mastery?
raccoons like smashing rocks like otters i think
Yeah but geoeds.....
not sure
Yea but cherry jam is crazy I gotta grow a tree for a month
guys what is the best way to make calico eggs? I assume skull cavern runs while activating all cat statues
Geodes take one day to find in mines
I had to do cauliflower juice and pickled carrots loll
imagine not having all fruit trees in your greenhouse
yes
I feel like I have no reason to do that considering I’m only yr 2
I mean
¯_(ツ)_/¯
but I think I specifically bought missing fruit saplings fairly quickly after getting the greenhouse
Throw it at passerbies
"GET OFF MY LAWN stinky hoomans"
jk he's probably nice
Yeah I'm on SDV 1.6.5 apparently
How many of the townies even path past their house, actually
You can find the pathways in the sdv wiki
What
What changed
poor jas
Do we need to spoiler here?
Nah
Here not
LEWIS IS SECRETLY LUIGI
nice
No spoilers needed
So what is this new floors in Skull Cavern?
Secretly? Bro has a giant nose and wears green all the time
It's Luigi when he's old
I didn't say he was doing a good job of it 
they're just new, more variety but nothing particularly special, in the mines too
I like them, especially the minecart one
VD too tbh
Aah lol
SHOW ME
Minecart could have tons of coal?
I think it's just a lot like the minecart one that already exists (complete with pre-spawned ladder) but vertical instead of horizontal
Oh, this is one I hadn't seen
oh wow
I have seen it with my wife
WOAH!!!!!! THAT'S COOL
They should all have coal in them 
do all of them have coal
That's a lot of coal
or are they all empty
Why are all the monsters swearing at you
LOL it's number IDs
enemy hp display maybe?
LOL why the fancy rotation
ey little guy's also a fan of lewis
I like how the baby's there with not a single toy or hat
Like, bro loves Lewis more than his own son
I have a whole big shed of them, then a few more than that.
More is always nice if you have tons of iridium and battery packs, especially for more jades = staircases
Doesn't skull cavern give you lots?
it hasnt been more iron or copper
If you really need exclusively gold just farm floor 100+ of the regular mines
k thanks
Miner Skill+Statue Blessing helps too
Buy it
become a whale and buy from clint
I had ~300 on my last save
300 jades
Nah, buy it from Willy (treasure bobbers can be deconstructed)
very fun
oooooh i see
... I just gifted Sebastian a carp when I tried to eat it
Do you HAVE to stand next to the lake?
Lmao
how do u fuck up that badly
i dont remember the lake fishing spot being anywhere near where sebastian stands
I also backed up, then went "Well, I could catch a few more." Facing back at the lake "Anything I can eat? Carp? Okay."
There was also a bubble spot a single tile above where he was standing, so that is why I fished specifically next to him
is the deluxe rarecrow from having all rarecrows or getting all rarecrows?
cause my friend has the rest of the rarecrows but i got the alien one
I think if you own all of them on your farm, you'll get a letter
i'm like.. partially certain that the host in specific has to have a rarecrow in their inventory at some point for it to count
is 1.6.5 on gamepass ?

is there uhh a way to get another meowmere?
Just came out
i wonder how many mods just broke
weird its not displaying that for me
try restarting steam?
anyone know how to replicate the 77k skull cavern floor glitch?
it's in the steam community
it doesn't show up on library page
It's on my Library page
ah it just showed up on mine too
lol i was playing n had to reload the game was like "damn that was fast another hotfix lol"
i do
so do i juts place all 8 down
and wait
the deluxe rarecrow recipe isn't guaranteed, there's a chance every day to get the mail
90.5% chance to get the letter each day
yeah ik
i just don't know what the all rarecrows requirement is specifically
it doesn't clarify what it means by "obtain" all rarecrows
run your save thru mousey's stardew tracker
if it lists ur save as having the rarecrows then yer done just wait
...I think it was mousey's tracker anyway
I might be confusing tools again, there's kinda a lot of them
so i did a sc run got 2 presmatic shards 88 iridium ore and 71 gold 120 ire and 130 copper along with a couple of gems and bat wings
nope, mousey's tracker doesn't track that
ok which tool was I thinking of then 
fuck
Already patched, you need 1.6.4 pre-hotfix
Just got a notification of a Super Cucumber frenzy 216 floors into Skull Cavern...
That's a no brainer
if you have a lot of smokers super cucumber might be the better choice
Do the one that gets you the valuable purple stuff
Couldn't agree more
is there a new years eve festival?
Just the feast of the winter star
can anybody buy me the game
But I gotta get one more Prismatic Shard for the Qi quest because that's a bloody thing now...
How many days do you have to finish the quest?
Super Cucumber is today only
Prismatic shard you could have a week to get 1 more
Meh, honestly if I wanted to get Super Cucmber in good numbers I could just fish in Pirate Cove in the evening.
cant talk about that
alr
You can!
1️⃣0️⃣ No begging.
eg. game or payment requests, financial help, crowdfunding links.
from the rules
Dang that cow is majestic af
that was a promotion image and little peek at winter clothes for chinese new year, not a festival in game
ohh
winter feels already so packed now, I hardly find time to get bored anymore
I haven't played since 1.3 and Winter used to SUCK then.
I hope it's exciting now. I normally have mega farms in Spring Summer and Fall
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS Clint will still crack geodes what you have a tool being upgraded
This is huge holy shit
Yeah it's new I think
that was 1.6.3 i think
kinda neato you can get the crystal chair (which i think you could only get one of) in the night market
The geode thing
?
I didn't know until right now <3
I'm so happy
1.6.3 was kinda large
honestly there's a lot of stuff in the follow up updates in general
Yeah and I haven't had much time to play haha
uh except for 1.6.5
that one's more like a bugfix i feel like that should've just been 1.6.4.2
did 1.6 allow u to add sprinklers to the beach farm?
no
i can't update s.v to 1.6.5 in xbox and i can't play with my friends (they're playing on steam)
that is specifically intended to be the downside of the beach
I thought console idn't have 1.6 at all?
they updated 1.6.5 on steam, but there is no xbox
it doesn't
welcome to consoles ¯_(ツ)_/¯
is there anything u can do on the beach farm so that u can use sprinklers?
use mods
i've never used a mod so far
or just farm on ginger island
you've seen that patch of normal soil, right?
ye but it's so far
move your house closer?
i guess
or use farm obelisks
no i had the 1.6 map and was thinking of doing another run on the beach farm
but i cbf manually watering everything
so trying to see if there's another way
retaining soil
the answer still remains ginger island
it's not 100%, but it's free water some days
theres no way these minecarts can have coal in them right
more animals instead of crops
if you get to ginger island deluxe retaining soil
is this modded?
new update
vanilla
does the slime hutch have anything you need luck for? I'm making a slime hutch ring and I'm thinking whether it should be Iridium Band + Slime Charmer or Luck Ring + Slime Charmer
20 new map layouts in caves
ice rod
yea
idk what to tell u lol
those minecarts don't have coal visually in them, so safe bet that they don't have coal at all
the beach explicitly warns you in its description that you can't put sprinklers on sand
that's not a bug, its the whole point of the farm
it's a shame cause it looks like a nice island but it's too inconvenient
when i first started playing stardew my friend tricked me into doing the beach farm first
all the other ones look too similar for a 2nd run
are you killing your slimes? then you'd probably need luck for drops, otherwise just furniture/machines/fences to contain them, no rings needed
doesn't seem that inconvenient to me
i guess we gotta wait for 1.7 in 5 years when they'll release sand sprinklers
there's no way you're growing more than 200 crops earlygame
idk why no one uses the lower quality retaining soils on beach farm, you get so much of it for free in the caves and supply crate
What counts as early game??? Lol
spring y1
not happening
maybe summer too
its what i did
I def hit 200 crops by summer
you should have greenhouse by the end of autumn y1 anyway so that's another 120
it also comes from the crates that wash up on the beach on the farm
and by the end of y1 you should be pretty close to GI anyway so that's another few hundred tiles + deluxe retaining soil and it shouldn't matter anymore that u have limited sprinkler space on the main farm
Is it profitable to kill them sometimes?
NO WAY!!!!
congrats
LIKE 100TH CAN
I think you're overestimating the average player's playstyle.
Just because most of us here in the discord can rush the CC pretty fast, doesn't mean everyone else does haha
Forces you to basically water the crops individually regardless, since every soil rolls the water retention chance individually. Better IMO to just rush steel watering can
can't imagine ever, they breed so slowly you could kill 100 times that many in the mines/sc instead
i'm not overestimating the average player's playstyle
Thank you, Then I guess ring doesn't matter that much haha
the beach farm explicitly warns you that it's going to be difficult for normal players and you should only try it if you're confident
they don't need to reach the water! fence them in on the left
if you choose the "hard" farm and are somehow surprised its harder than average, idk wtf to tell you lol
But yeah, beach is excellent for everything except crops
Tons of space for buildings
Seeing as crops are love; crops are life
I would recommend staying away from the beach farm
how many preserve jars do you have??
wait what about tiger slime eggs
Volcano isn't that big
Or do monsters respawn in volcano
only the floaty flame things iirc?
Crops go on GI where you can grow good crops all year round and they don't have to compete with buildings for space.
the beach farm is fine, you just need to keep your crop area small initially, get the greenhouse, then ginger island
I did.
It meant not needing to upgrade my watering can until winter
One issue I had was that it was hard to see whether soil was wet or dry while stuff was growing on it. Had to do some logic-puzzling based on whether the soil between tiles was wet or dry
in other news (besides just exiting the game to see we have yet another update, i.e. 1.6.5), the game is trolling me hard. good luck day so went to my dangerous mine sfor ore, saw a special slime, it dropped... an autopetter. which I do not now need. I already have a spare. or is it two now. grrrrrr
Don't think they do. But you get one baby per day in the hutch max and none the day after reloading, that's still a bad deal, especially since you can't really separate them to kill off only one. Far too much hassle imo
is fencing in slimes still buggy
I use preserve jars or furniture and never had a problem, what's the bug?
iirc they like to sometimes wander out of the fences even tho there's no way to
ohh
idk if it makes trash/algae impossible to get too
Ayo?
1.6.5
tiny hotfix
Finally got enough money to get perfection. Just have to run through 2 more weeks now.
yeah 1.6.5 is more like 1.6.4.2
it just fixes some bugs and crashes from the previous update
and uh breaks some mods too ig
I'm finally gonna enchant my stuff so here's what I'm thinking of doing, please give feedback 
Galaxy Hammer- Artful or Crusader (2 emerald, 1 ruby)
Axe - Shaving
Pickaxe - Efficient or Powerful
Hoe - Reaching
Watering Can - Reaching or Bottomless
Fishing Rod - Auto-Hook or Preserving
Pan - Generous
i like generous on hoe personally
I prefer master on the rod
u don't really hoe all that often by the time u have enchants imo
does anyone have screenshots of the 1.6 crafting menu i think im missing something and i can't figure out what
preserving is maybe useful for targetted bait, not sure tbh
doing the math for target bait efficiency's kinda annoying
it could be a fairly good bonus to fishing money maker for like eels maybe idk
for pickaxe iirc powerful makes volcano rocks 1 hit so if u like doing volcano a lot, go powerful I guess?
but swift is kinda nice too if you're not animation cancelling
for hammer, crit builds are a lot better than raw dmg this patch imo
esp if you're using artful where u can spam special cancel at 4x the rate
idk how to so yea LOL
Extremely annoying. Outside of the simplest scenarios, it's near impossible to calculate the actual impact on overall catch rate.
oh I might wanna do that then
you have to press a bunch of keys simultaneously after swinging, i don't remember the exact keys but most ppl use like a macro or mod
if that feels too cheaty, I think swift's more useful then
is there a way to calculate it via simulation rather than trying to do it formulatically
im kinda really interested in how much of an impact Efficient makes on targetted bait's usefulness now
Cursed thing is that the overall impact is really situational regardless
ok so here's what I'm thinking now
Galaxy Hammer- Crusader (2 emerald, 1 ruby)
Axe - Shaving
Pickaxe - Powerful
Hoe - Reaching
Watering Can - Reaching
Fishing Rod - Master
Pan - Generous
logged in to play this morning and my fairy was blue - logged in to play now, and my fairy is black!
Yeah, iirc
there are 8 fairy styles now, but I thought they changes with 1.6.4
I thought there was 4 styles?
there were, it's been increased
and idk but mine switched from this morning until now
There was, there are now 8
so everytime you cast your rod out with lava eel bait in volcano you're spending 784 gold worth of bait no? efficient would mean you're halving that to 392
does it change everyime we log in ?
Looks purple to me
no, what you have now should be what you keep
hmm, could be a filter on my monitor making it look darker
looks black to me
that's what I was told this morning but then it changed so idk anymore
paint says its R41/G33/B80
I'd use fish ponds for the bait personally, rather than catches. Also hoarding it when Willy offers it for sale, which he does sometimes.
so like a very very dark blue
yes!!
Probably the magenta glow effect that makes the dark blue look kinda purple
I'm interested to see what other people's fairies look like now
Also contrast against the orangey floorboards
I have a level 5 fairy box I've never equipped, should take a look at it sometime
yes!! I'd love to know what you get colour wise
I should look into what determines fairy sprite
The sprite's sprite, even.
The pixel pixie.
I made a note to look at it tomorrow (not the code, just my fairy)
ah heck I totally forgot to check the attic Sicarious, I'll add that to the todo list
can you only do the desert event once per save file
its yearly
assuming you mean the desert festival
its annual like every other festival
are these good
ok thx ready to enter the skull mines
are there new volcano dungeon layouts unique to volcano?
Cause I got some layout I swear I've never seen before
yea
I just got two dwarf scroll IV's from a single slime with a burglars ring, what are the odds of that?
yep, 20 new ones that can show up after you unlock the shortcut
do you have auto-petter?
It was also a very bad luck day
woahhh that's a lot
how do you activate the raccoon cutscene? do i have to get another reward from them?
you gotta complete the greenhouse
20 new ordinary mine layouts too
and then it's a random night event
they mentioned a new cutscene for when you fully upgrade their house
oh idk then haha I haven't got them fully done yet
Best pan enchantment?
Probably generous now that I think about it
Does it double everything?
50%
yeah but 50% chance for it to double everything?
@harsh plover You leveled up to Farmer. You're now a prettier shade of blue. Thanks for sticking around!
would archaeologist on the pan help me get the stupid tail fossil?
I’m getting desperate
just farm in the dig site for a day?
maybe two
u get a pan spot like every hour or so
I can try. Is there a way to increase the spawn rate?
if it has a chance to double these it's definitely best enchant
Given that you can already get multiples of these
Like 10 iridium will get doubled to 20
I hope I'm right
just bring some tents
heck
How to get 50k on junimo kart easily
I’m gonna camp out on a festival day then
I currently have Archeologist on my pan, its better to get Generous?
I'm trying to figure out too
I need someone who knows to read code lol
I'm not sure if archeologist gives you more chance for lucky ring
No idea
are there even any festivals worth attending in the late game, like y3
Practice and get a feel for how much to hold for each jump and gap
Calico Desert Festival
true
Ive been playing it for like an hour and furtherst i have gotten is 46k
and i guess egg festival for strawberries
Desert festival, maybe spirit's eve for the golden pumpkin
And then all the ones that give you prize tickets and friendship if you need those still
and spirit’s eve because it’s not much of an opportunity cost since it’s so late in the day
nah I was done with friendship on leo’s birthday y2
Prize tickets can give some great stuff like golden mystery boxes so I never consider them obsolete
Nice then you don't need Luau for example
I’m at like last day of spring y3
I have every crafting recipe except the stupid ostrich oven
correction: it gives regular boxes but a lot of them, and you can trade the lot you get for goldens at the racoon wife
You mean incubator? lol
Which fossil are you missing
the one from panning
make lots of tents and just stay at the dig site and pan every spot you catch
i was just wondering if there’s a way to increase the spawn rate of panning spots
i was also wondering if archaeologist would increase my odds
lord knows I have too many shards
I can’t even pawn them off on qi for gems anymore
the wiki might not say. enchanting the pan is a new mechanic
It says it increases chance for artifacts
Now the question is does the game consider ginger island fossils as artifacts for this purpose
Seems logical that yes but I can't give a definitive answer
well we can look at how the enchantment interacts with the hoe
don't think it has the artifact tag
I hate it when clint doesn't work
that’s what you get for killing joja
you fixed the cc so now we has to tend the boiler room
brought this on yourself
you can still use his shop even when he's not working if u have key to the town
iirc
as long as its during work hours, to clarify
i believe clint's the only shop where that works as well
he doesn’t have to be at the counter?
Yeah but they could be an exception coded in
afaik clint's shop specifically only checks work hours and not for clint
🤔
So the phone wouldn't say he's missing? lol
and i'm not even entirely sure it checks work hours either
damn, how the turn tables
Like he will reply while being at the CC
even for upgrading tools ?
all I know is
when I unlock the mines on day 5 or whatever and get the copper needed
if I don't have enough time to smelt them all I can walk into his shop and plop down a furance next to the counter and keep smelting and then make him upgrade my tool even when the door's technically closed for entering
i've never bothered to check exactly how late I can get away with it and still have it work
but it's very definitely closed and without him at the desk anymore
tl;dr, clint's the only shop with self service built in
(and I guess marnie now in y2)
clint truly mvp
What Trinket is considered the best by you guys? I honestly think nothing comes close to the ice rod magic
Yeah this whole chat explodes with love for ice rod about once every 30 minutes
So I think the whole SDV Discord community is pretty much team ice rod.
I think spur makes sense for a crit build
But like... I'm not even attacking in mines with a sword or mace anymore
I stan Parrot Egg because money
It's just bomb and eel spamming... Lmao
I see, well I'll be Team Ice Rod than aswell - just freezing the fire guys and disabling knockback makes it easily the best. If only I understood how to reroll correctly for the best version of it
I specified "optimally" because most ppl don't play optimally either
techncially better to just ignore the mobs and healspam thru the dmg
and use hammer to instakill via spec cancel if u absolutely have to kill stuff
not a fan of hammer glitch attacking but I know most like that move
Apparently the "Perfect Ice Rod" is the best version of it.
I love it, speedy crit build is fun as hell
for normal ppl, I think fairy box or ice rod is generally gonna get better results
Wait it actually has the name perfect ice rod? Lol how convenient.
Ice Rod is great until you freeze something in an invulnerable state.
It is according to the wiki
Megatank you mean the ... lava dragons I assume? Yeah that is kinda annoying. Until you realize you can take now the time to use the watering can.
i wish u could disable frog egg's effect
frog is a cutie but i don't like my loot being eaten
and special mobs tend to survive just long enough for frog to go off cd and eat them before u can kill them
basilisk paw is also lame
i use the basilisk paw in my slime hutch
i feel like it should invert debuffs to buff u instead or something
chance multiplied by immunity stat so the stat is still useful
if frog only ate enemies that like, you hadn't hit yet, that may be kinda handy
inverted debuff is a really cool idea
Are there any people experienced with the stardew code that could check something for me?
