[steady narwhal]

Damn I now have my moment

[tidal axle]

your.. moment?

[steady narwhal]

Oh well silliness

[tidal axle]

imagine if we got the copper shortsword though

[steady narwhal]

Simple. Just ask Clint for one and bring him a few copper bars

[tidal axle]

I WISH WE COULD IUSUAIAHBUDSBUISEHFEKJ

[steady narwhal]

me too

[tidal axle]

SHIELDS MACES CROSSBOWS (maybe ask robin too for that) PLEASE ANYTHIGN

[steady narwhal]

Slingshots take or leave

[tidal axle]

CLINTS STUFF IS COOL I WANT TO TRY THEM OUT

[tidal axle]

terraria crossover shouldve added the minishark

[steady narwhal]

damn we now adding that to SDV?

[tidal axle]

it would have been very funny

[buoyant tendon]

yknow for the terraria crossover easter egg i was honestly expecting the traveling cart to sometimes sell the terraria peddlers hat

[tidal axle]

"bombs cannot damage you" is so nothingburger

[soft wasp]

We should've gotten the nurse in exchange for harvey

[tidal axle]

i ship them both actually

[buoyant tendon]

good

[tidal axle]

travelling merchant (terraria) and travelling merchant (stardew valley) are 100% married without a shred of doubt in my mind

[buoyant tendon]

YEAH AGREED

[vapid furnace]

I really can't tell who's items are more useless

[woven tusk]

Interdimensional star-crossed pair

[tidal axle]

like i sigh whenever i get it because i literally never choose it

[buoyant tendon]

oh i thought you meant nothingburger as in why wouldnt you choose such a blatantly good yet boring option

[tidal axle]

just saying, a dirt block would cost a fortune in stardew. we'd do anything for more land

[buoyant tendon]

maybe it should be exclusive to one of the mining lv10 skill trees

[tidal axle]

you die to bombs? /gen

[buoyant tendon]

i dont, buti t seems itd be convenient

[vapid furnace]

The Merchant wasn't kidding "You don't know how much dirt blocks sell for overseas"

[tidal axle]

fair, but i feel like this would be a trinket

[buoyant tendon]

i would definitely have less damage from bombs be a profession to make it mutually exclusi- fair thats also reasonable

dwarvish armor

instead of some safety manual

i was kinda thinking more ladders being a lv10 alternative to having more ores and geodes drop . would be interesting

[tidal axle]

oh this would be a damn no brainer skill to take 😭 blacksmith has got NOTHING on more ladders

[buoyant tendon]

…also i desperately want to make the qi room sprinkler upgrade be a recipe from farming mastery, instead of statue of blessings recipe…

[buoyant tendon]

really…? hmm

[soft wasp]

They learned that from the wandering traders that visit minecraft skyblock players

[buoyant tendon]

statue of blessings totally oughta be from year 3 grandpa
…dwarf king statue can take the role of producing iridium?

[vapid furnace]

Ah yes, dwarf king statue in bulk

Definitely not OP

[buoyant tendon]

fair point

[dense yacht]

I’m on riverland farm. I would love me some dirt blocks

[tidal axle]

it's very powerful you know

[buoyant tendon]

is there a sort of forum/thread place here where i could write down my ideas n ask for thoughts on them?

[tidal axle]

like "more ladders" is a bigger deal than youd expect

[buoyant tendon]

what would you consider to compete against … say, 15% more ladders

[tidal axle]

it indirectly means more ores, less money spent on bombs, etc

[vapid furnace]

I think it's like how people use Tiller then switch to Artisan for starfruit growing / wine sellijng

Get further down, mine more iridium, switch, sell the iridium

[tidal axle]

15% hm..... every mining profession that isn't miner and blacksmith get blown out of the water

they are... pretty useless

[buoyant tendon]

maybe a level 10 for miner that makes geodes more likely to give ore than artifacts?

[tidal axle]

you mean archaeologist?

i like that idea....

[tidal axle]

no offense but this sounds more like a level 5

[buoyant tendon]

mining has been the toughest skill to think of because all i do is fish

[steady narwhal]

Oh yeah for the iridium needle...

[tidal axle]

increased geode drop chance + alters geode tables to give more ore might be able to compete with miner (miner is so good still though)

[buoyant tendon]

oh i mean itd be on top of miner

[vapid furnace]

Well I was comparing it to how people grow starfruit faster, then switch to make the wine sell for more.
Get further down in the mines with the ladder skill, then switch to blacksmith and sell the extra bars

[buoyant tendon]

as an alt to blacksmith

[steady narwhal]

The wiki say it has a crit multiplier of 14x right?

[buoyant tendon]

…actually unsure how much i really like that now that i say it

[steady narwhal]

Turns out it's a 35x crit multiplier with +75 crit power and desperado on iridium needle

[gray oriole]

wha

[tidal axle]

oh goodness 😭

[steady narwhal]

LMAO

[tidal axle]

here's an idea: 2 paths. 1 based on ore and another based on geodes and minerals

like how its managed in game! except tweaked a bit

[gray oriole]

oh yeah it is 35

[tidal axle]

i like gemologist a good bit, i think it should be a bigger boost, but i like how it makes crystalariums a working method for money

[steady narwhal]

It do be LMAO

[buoyant tendon]

in my rebalance, some old professions are turned into book powers, and vice versa

[tidal axle]

are you making a mod..?

[soft wasp]

What if it boosted crystalarium speed too?

[buoyant tendon]

the plan is!

[tidal axle]

MAY I PLEASE REQUEST ONE ITEM

[tidal axle]

i really love that actually... damn

[steady narwhal]

For dragontooth cutlass with +75 crit power and desperado I got 20x crit multiplier

[buoyant tendon]

i wont overpromise cus im at literally the beginning of learning and just overscoping lol

its really more of “my dream mod end goal, and rn im practicing some basic af things”

[soft wasp]

Boosted crystalarium speed would be pretty good even if you don't intend to sell gems. More Jades and Rubies for trading would be great for anyone

[buoyant tendon]

the only changes im really confident in right now though is changing the alt fishing profs to aquaculture (ponds, roe, raising fish, more treasure/gift rewards from them)

[tidal axle]

please.... just one..........

[buoyant tendon]

what would your one item you’d really want be

[gray oriole]

honestly

aquamarine's kinda really strong now

[soft wasp]

Oh what does aquamarine do?

[steady narwhal]

I always used desperado. This update makes me want to keep desperado

Warframe moment but toned

[buoyant tendon]

aint it uhh crit power?

[steady narwhal]

Crit chance for aquamarine

[buoyant tendon]

ah, i thought that was jade

[soft wasp]

Oh yeah but you hardly need to farm them for that

[tidal axle]

it's a combat trinket, when you attack you fire a bouncing projectile

[buoyant tendon]

meow..mere..

[tidal axle]

the bouncing projectile makes a meow noise when it hits the wall. yes. that is exactly what it is

[gray oriole]

So fun fact the game has an enchant for making melee weapons shoot projectiles that is unused

[tidal axle]

MEOWMERE

[buoyant tendon]

AND YET WE GOT HAYMAKER??

[steady narwhal]

Oh gosh WHAT

[buoyant tendon]

farming game
look inside
hay

[steady narwhal]

C'mon man...

This SUCKS

[gray oriole]

Presumably it was balancing issues idk

[steady narwhal]

Artful acrobat clubs...
75 crit power desperado daggers and swords...

[tidal axle]

question... are you actually the guy who got over 11 thousand floors in sc

[buoyant tendon]

im goin for crit in my playthrough rn

[steady narwhal]

Yes

[tidal axle]

oh my goodness it's an honor.....

[steady narwhal]

ong

[gray oriole]

Honestly 75 crit power is underselling it

[buoyant tendon]

11 thousand is a big number

[steady narwhal]

Oh yeah funny thing

You see 35 crit multiplier is silly

[gray oriole]

Crit innate is basically “if desperado is so good, why not desperado 2?”

[steady narwhal]

70x by bug killer, desperado and +75 crit power

[tidal axle]

ooo good luck! hows the build planned to be?

[steady narwhal]

It's like acrobat and artful

[gray oriole]

mfw x5 dmg multiplier on top of crit power

[steady narwhal]

Imagine doing 70x damage to something

[steady narwhal]

What if melee projectile can crit

[gray oriole]

Honestly though

Looking at it, the jade enchant kinda sucks ass

[steady narwhal]

jades were always terrible

[tidal axle]

kinda? it's straight ass

[woven tusk]

More jade for stairs, then

[jade rose]

was gonna say, jade for stairs only good thing

[tidal axle]

not as bad as amethyst though

[steady narwhal]

I'll need stairs...always...

[jade rose]

I literally just watched your youtube video of sc run and holy

[tidal axle]

i refuse to believe you made it to floor 11 thousand using just staircases

[jade rose]

literally watching the vid right now lmao

[steady narwhal]

Would you love to see the whole video?

[tidal axle]

ive never watched it in full i probably should

[steady narwhal]

It's 5.5 hours long trust

[tidal axle]

holy fucking pause buffer

[jade rose]

insanity

[steady narwhal]

GL watching 5.5 hours of me placing staircases and pausing

[woven tusk]

...So you can have 10% more dmg (ruby) or you can have 10% more dmg but only when you crit (jade)

[jade rose]

how did you not lose your mind

[tidal axle]

IS IT REALLY JUST STAIORCASES

[steady narwhal]

yes

[tidal axle]

thank you for making me realize im terrible at staircasing 🙏

[woven tusk]

Did you faint at the end

[steady narwhal]

yes

[woven tusk]

I feel sorry for whomever tf carried you back up those 11187 flights of stairs and got you to bed in under 4 hours

[jade rose]

I gotta save up all my jade and stone to make one stack, let alone an entire inventory full of stacks

[steady narwhal]

I forgot who it was. Harvey or Linus?

[gray oriole]

Its 20% more when u crit, but unfortunately its additive with 300% crit dmg u inheritantly have

[woven tusk]

They fuckin' earned that 1000G fee, I'll say that much

[steady narwhal]

yep

Everyone forgets me with the return scepter

[gray oriole]

If jade bonus worked like innate does it’d be a good deal tbh

[steady narwhal]

But I might as well be carried back to the surface

[steady narwhal]

Yep...

[gray oriole]

I still need to check how atk bonuses work oops

[woven tusk]

So it's even worse than Ruby when you do crit

[steady narwhal]

Even worse

Don't use jade

[woven tusk]

Staircase fodder it is.

[steady narwhal]

I like staircases

[gray oriole]

Answer’s pretty much almost always gonna be aquamarine unless ur running spec build

[woven tusk]

I might like to see an excerpt of the staircase video to see if pause buffering works the way I think it does

[gray oriole]

Speed is an option too

[tidal axle]

what about rubies?

[steady narwhal]

Actually...now I think of it. I felt like that would be on meowmere

[forest lichen]

is this a new weapon?

[steady narwhal]

old

[forest lichen]

really? ive never seen it before

[woven tusk]

Famous for having one of the highest crit rates before Ginger Island was implemented

[steady narwhal]

It's found in quarry mine and SC as a special drop

Free galaxy dagger

[woven tusk]

Possibly the highest before then, in fact?

[tidal axle]

YOOOOOO THATS SO NICE i hear its better than the galaxy dagger

[tidal axle]

yes, the highest

[gray oriole]

Thats not hard to do tbf

Galaxy dagger doesnt rly have much going for it

[tidal axle]

yeah... fsir enough

[gray oriole]

+1 spd on… a weapon type that is already known for high base spd

[tough remnant]

It would have been, one of the projectile sprites is basically fucking nyan cat

[gray oriole]

+5 weight… on a weapon that wants to do lots of hits in a row

Default level crit

Its kinda depressing to look at honestly

[steady narwhal]

damn so IT WAS FOR MEOWMERE

[tidal axle]

lucentglow what art thoust thoughts on the new abby's planchette

[gray oriole]

?

[tidal axle]

i am going to rip my teeth out

[steady narwhal]

Would love to see the sprites of the projectile

[tidal axle]

this!

[gray oriole]

The super fast aspd dagger?

Its a joke weapon

[tidal axle]

i know but like

isnt it beautiful

[gray oriole]

Its funny but too bad its unusable

[tidal axle]

its so hilariously bad i love it

[vapid furnace]

I think you can get your hands on it, but realistically, it's not usable as a late-game weapon

[steady narwhal]

Definitely usable as a late game weapon with the recent innate enchants

[gray oriole]

If it didnt have the +weight i think it mightve been barely usable

[wintry maple]

None of the desert festival weapons are good by the time you can get them.

[gray oriole]

Not true

Y1 desertfes is a thing u can do

[tidal axle]

absolutely fucking not 😭 this things straight ass

unless you can click 60 times a second youre getting nowhere with this thing

[vapid furnace]

If the sword skins worked like Terraria's vanity, I'd imagine it would be good to gather them aside from "I have them in a chest... I never used it for the past 5 years but I have it!"

[wintry maple]

Only if you min max quite a bit. And if you are doing that then the weapons still shit

[tidal axle]

this is actually just the terraria update

they added accessories and the meowmere

[wintry maple]

Cause you definitely have something better by the point you can do the desert festival

[vapid furnace]

Because the thing about the volcano method is that you lose the vanity sword if you want to change it

[tidal axle]

well, trinkets, but you can reforge them, the reforging is expensive, and it's. yeah

[tough remnant]

Okay I misremembered, it's not actually Nyan Cat, it's... this fucking thing.

[gray oriole]

Elliot’s pencil is literally just galaxy dagger but good

[vapid furnace]

Goblin Tinkerer moment

[tidal axle]

actually... it didnt destroy my meowmere when i unforged my sword

[tidal axle]

uojhhh thats beautiful

[steady narwhal]

NO WAY. It's...its the meowmere projectile from TERRARIA

[wintry maple]

💀 24-30dmg

[woven tusk]

I see, a cat's face to be trailed by the rainbow

[steady narwhal]

https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Meowmere

[vapid furnace]

Also, you can reforge accessories, which is pretty much what the Farmer is using as trinkets

[tidal axle]

reminder that this is the best dagger in the game

[gray oriole]

What about it

[tidal axle]

the anvil is just the goblin tinkerer in a trenchcoat

[woven tusk]

Daggers just... have low raw damage ye

[wintry maple]

The infinity dagger is 50-70dmg

[gray oriole]

Yeah and its bad

[tidal axle]

and it's straight cheeks

[tidal axle]

this has always been weird to me they should have more damage than swords. whatever

[hidden ore]

I got two of the iridium needles on this save, well after I'd gotten my final build together. I've never seen the weapon on my previous 3 saves of course

[tidal axle]

ooohhh you enjoying it?

[vapid furnace]

You wonder why the reforging sound is a metal clank in Terraria, even though there may be no anvils in sight of the Goblin? Just you, the item, the tinkerer, and the wooden house with wooden furniture.

[gray oriole]

I have no idea what weapon you’re expecting to have by day 15 tbh

[nimble turtle]

woot got my first fairy box plus 7 prismatic shards and another autopetter and 300 iridium ore 🙂

[vapid furnace]

I usually get the bus stop done not in the first Spring

[hidden ore]

no, I have them both in a chest 😄

[tidal axle]

good god thats lucky!

[vapid furnace]

And if I somehow miraculously do it on the first spring, It's definitely past day 15-17

[tidal axle]

ahhh thats alright! ive been using an iridium needle this run and its been SUPER fun

[tough remnant]

Galaxy Sword clearly

[hidden ore]

if I'd gotten it rather earlier I might have put the effort in to make it my primary weapon. too late now though

[nimble turtle]

i am happy 🙂

[vapid furnace]

Point is, no bus stop by the 15th = no desert festival in the first year

[hidden ore]

so vault bundle by the 15th, that's pretty fast

[vapid furnace]

Meaning you may have, lets say, the bone sword from level 70-80 in the mines

[gray oriole]

By the 17th

[tidal axle]

its so fun seeing the funny crit numbers.... mmfghh....

[vapid furnace]

Because you spent your time mining instead of grinding money through other methods

[woven tusk]

Isn't the obsidian edge at 90F

[gray oriole]

Yeah

[vapid furnace]

Doesn't the bus get repaired overnight

[tidal axle]

the bone katana is so nice i love it

[hidden ore]

yes and at 120 you can just go buy the lava katana

[tidal axle]

though, the insect head is what i use to patch the gap, and thankfully its been buffeed

[gray oriole]

The festival lasts 3 days

[vapid furnace]

Lava Katana is expensive

To be honest I forgot when the festival happens

[gray oriole]

U can get the bus repaired anywhere within those days and get partial desertfes

[vapid furnace]

I know it's 3 days straight, but not which 3 days

[gray oriole]

15-17

[woven tusk]

Still baffles me that its name is katana but it's clearly not one

[vapid furnace]

The name is nice though

[hidden ore]

15-17 I guess, 18th is after the festival, and I remember those dates because they are salmonberry dates

[vapid furnace]

Ava - Ana
Lava Katana

[hidden ore]

I mean it sounds better than 'lava banana' but I claim that would be a lot funnier (and could still have the same stats)

[vapid furnace]

Better than "Lava Sword" at least

Terraria had the "Fiery Greatsword" but changed to "Volcano"

[tough remnant]

A tragic loss

[hidden ore]

did the sprite change too?

[tidal axle]

its rough, salmonberries or desert fest...

[tidal axle]

imo volcano sounds cooler though./.

[vapid furnace]

Imagine renaming the Fiery Greatsword but not the Ivy Whip when whips were added for summoners, instead it's "Snapthorn"

Easiest way to confuse new players

[tough remnant]

I am now reminded of my eternal disappointment in Terraria for adopting a fucking class system for some reason years after the game came out

[frank panther]

Alright I’ll try it here

[vapid furnace]

To be fair, more replayability / variety in multiplayer

[frank panther]

Me and my friends are trying to get the meowmere, and we’ve got the ancient doll and tried throwing it into lava but nothing happened

[vapid furnace]

You can still use items of the "wrong" class if you want to

[frank panther]

Are we missing something?

[vapid furnace]

You need to interact with the lava

Not literally throw it in]

[frank panther]

We tried

[gray oriole]

Did you right click the lava while holding the doll

[frank panther]

And nothing happened

We’re on Xbox series s

[gray oriole]

Err

[vapid furnace]

That's the problem

[tough remnant]

Describe the ancient doll

[gray oriole]

Thats 1.5

[vapid furnace]

It doesn't exist yet

[frank panther]

It is?

So we gotta wait till 1.6 comes out for us to do it?

[tough remnant]

Oh, yeah 1.6 isn't out yet on console

[vapid furnace]

Consoles didn't get the new update yet with the easter egg / reference / whatever you want to call it

[frank panther]

Well poop

[gray oriole]

Cant do something that isnt in the game yes

[tidal axle]

OH MY GOD THIS IS TRUE PLEASE RENAME IT TO LIKE THE IVY HOOK OR SMTH

[tidal axle]

im very happy multiclass wasnt completely gutted ages ago

its fun to fuck around like that

[tough remnant]

More? All the fun weird hybrid items like Starfury that encouraged interesting mixed builds got pidgeonholed to fit the classes. There are more things than before, but it's now pidgeonholed into the 4 classes. If they'd kept building on the classless system with more items, we'd have so much more than 4

[tidal axle]

old starfury was funny

i only heard stories of it but

damn that sounded funny

[vapid furnace]

I think I heard that it was like the Star Wrath, but it used a lot of mana

[tidal axle]

you also needed to spam click

[vapid furnace]

I suppose that feral claws didn't exist yet

[tidal axle]

its like as fucked up as how phasesabers were the best melee weapon in mobile

[tidal axle]

oh they worked on the sword, just not the projectile

thats the thing 😭

[tough remnant]

Old Starfury was great. Even when you ran out of mana, you could still swing the sword. And the sword bits all scaled with melee stuff, while the star bits all scaled with magic stuff

[vapid furnace]

If you have the Steam version, you can go into the betas and enable "Undeluxe" mode. Which is one of the early 1.0.X updates. Not the most accurate way to say it, but it's good enough.

[tidal axle]

yes. old starfury is still old starfury there

[tough remnant]

I have an actual disc of the physical PC release lol

Which is 1.1.2 iirc

[sonic skiff]

is that the version that comes with the bunny pet

[tough remnant]

Yup

[buoyant lark]

me and my partner have done 3 full playthrus of terraria

[crimson halo]

im so good at this

[buoyant lark]

each time he's continued to just use starfury, even when we're at moon lord

i have a screenshot of him poking away at a pirate ship outside our hallow pylon with starfury's stars

[tough remnant]

For a while I was working on a grand reversion mod that sought to try adapt the modern stuff back to match the pre-1.2 paradigms

[tidal axle]

he's a keeper

[buoyant lark]

i do love him a lot

[tidal axle]

please do not delete summoner

[buoyant lark]

its just so funny

[tidal axle]

does he like the star wrath?

[vapid furnace]

It's okay, Summoner won't be deleted, it'll just have a seat next to the throwing damage type

[buoyant lark]

he actually doesnt. even tho its literally just a straight upgrade of starfury

the only time he's ever used another sword is the one you get from killing betty

bc it can go thru blocks, which means he doesnt have to leave our base to kill stuff

[vapid furnace]

You gotta get a group of 7 people or something, and each one of you uses a Zenith component

[tidal axle]

i.... mixing up summoner with throwing is a recipe for disaster

[tough remnant]

Why would I? I'm just deleting "summon damage" as a thing. Whips are melee, summons deal damage based on whatever their attack animation looks like. If it looks magicky, they deal magic damage.

[tidal axle]

well, what about now that starfury can hit through blocks?

[tidal axle]

do whips still buff the summons

[tough remnant]

Never got around to that

[hidden ore]

did I come back to a full on terraria chat?

[tough remnant]

Mod proved too big, my interest didn't last long enough

[tidal axle]

ahh i see, alright then

[tough remnant]

Yup

[tidal axle]

summoner being completely unique to terraria made me. really like it actually

[buoyant lark]

terraria is sick

[woven tusk]

Does "Untitled Document(1)" fit

[buoyant lark]

i just like grinding for rare drops

even when it gets to ridiculous levels

[tidal axle]

i can get the ranger and melee experience anywhere, but summoner is unique to terraria

and i LOVE it

[tidal axle]

im gonna guess thatmyou like melee?

[woven tusk]

Summoner even has two sub-builds, I believe?

Pets and sentries?

[hidden ore]

I'll uh just check back in when we're back to stardew, carry on 😛

[buoyant lark]

i must've killed like thousands of those stupid ice tortoises in the underground tundra looking for a fucking ice shell

[tidal axle]

pets..?

[woven tusk]

Minions

[tidal axle]

there's minions, sentries, and whips

[buoyant lark]

i generally run a mix of melee/ranger, yeah

[tidal axle]

minions and sentries both work together with whips! i love the dynamic

[tidal axle]

HAHAAA nice!!

[tough remnant]

I blame CA for putting a full on crossover event into the game rather than just a small reference like all the other easter egg references

[woven tusk]

There's a melee weapon (Meowmere), a ranged accessory (Magic Quiver), and a magic "weapon" (Ice Rod)
Frog/Parrot/Fairy weren't summoned minion weapons in Terraria, though, were they?

[buoyant lark]

immediately post-hardmode, the setup i go for is frost armor with the drippler crippler (bc it does INSANE damage for something you can get as soon as hardmode starts), shadowflame knives, and the uzi

all propped up with a flask of ichor

i rlly love maces/flails in terraria. i wish an update would add more

[hidden ore]

oh are the quiver and rod terraria things then?

as a non player I have no idea about any of that

[buoyant lark]

nah

well. the magic quiver is also in terraria but it does something completely different

[woven tusk]

The ice rod doesn't exactly behave this way either

[buoyant lark]

yeah the ice rod in terraria just lets you place temporary ice blocks down right

[tidal axle]

yes! still mad useful

[dusty mason]

is it really adopting pets if you buy them?

[vapid furnace]

I think the magic quiver in Terraria increases arrow speed and damage, you can upgrade it to also make the arrows fiery using a magma stone (Which, by itself, makes melee attacks fiery)

The ice rod is both a weapon, and a building tool

[hidden ore]

consider it a fee for the adoption papers, vaccinations and all that

[dusty mason]

the first cat or dog you get you dont pay for at all though

do you just completely neglect the first pet?

[hidden ore]

no, that's just found, not arranged for via an animal adoption center 😛 you don't think Marnie keeps a bunch of purple turtles in the back room, do you?

[dusty mason]

she might, who knows

[hidden ore]

I think we would have seen an article in the Stardew valley Times if something like that were going on. (Although, even in this very small town, people seem to be generally oblivious, c.f. Marie and Lewis)

[buoyant lark]

are you suggesting that marnie is running an illegal puppy mill

[dusty mason]

shane did have like 200 blue chickens in the back room and nobody knew, soo

[hidden ore]

nobody told the farmer about it, you mean 😛

[dusty mason]

precisely

[hidden ore]

kinda gotta wonder how much stuff is going on behind closed doors that the farmer just never hears about but everyone in town knows...

[buoyant lark]

i mean. it wld make sense

where the hell is she getting all these dogs cats and turtles

[dusty mason]

I mean, the same thing could be going on with the turtles

[crimson halo]

tis gonna rain green no?

[woven tusk]

Wonder if everyone is oblivious or if it's just Penny that can't see it

[dusty mason]

that doesn't have to do with the green rain, the beach is just green for 3 days in the summer and there's a lot more forage

[woven tusk]

The ocean is just green for a few days mid summer, not related to the green rain

[vapid furnace]

Is Penny in denial?

[crimson halo]

oh

thats cool

[dusty mason]

does the wizard also just keep a lot of junimos hostage for the junimo huts

[buoyant lark]

penny doesnt think marnie and lewis are a thing so she is pretty oblivious

[dusty mason]

cause, when I placed a junimo hut from the junimo catalogue, no junimo seems to be moving in, which is kind of suspicious

[woven tusk]

Yeah, the question becomes whom else is oblivious.

...Shane probably knows.

[vapid furnace]

Maybe the Junimos can sense your intentions

[dusty mason]

shane's probably traumatized from that

[buoyant lark]

shane lives with marnie he has to know

[woven tusk]

Another reason driving him to drink

[vapid furnace]

So if you build one at the Wizard's house, the intention is to hire the Junimos, but if you use a decorative house from the catalogue, it's just decoration

[dusty mason]

exactly

[vapid furnace]

And plus, it could just be the equivalent of a plastic dollhouse to them. Hollow and unpainted on the inside

[buoyant lark]

i mean i imagine its not particularly hard to make a junimo hut

it looks like its just mud bricks and grass roof

[dusty mason]

but, we don't pay them, so that isn't exactly hiring them

[vapid furnace]

What do you think the 20,000g is for when building a hut?

[hidden ore]

the only payment they might get is raisins, and only if the farmer is nice enough to give them some

[nimble turtle]

i just got a mango sapling from a tiger slime how???

[tough remnant]

They're fake huts that lack actual internal living space clearly. The magical huts from the wizard come with all the mystical amenities forest spirits need for comfortable living

[dusty mason]

buying the junimos from the wizard for them to work in your farm

[woven tusk]

I think the 9 starfruit might be part of the payment too

[hidden ore]

you think the wizard doesn't just take the gold and starfruit for his own purposes??

[dusty mason]

the wizard might just be looking for an excuse to snack on some starfruit

[neat sail]

Special drops, I've got 2 or 3

[woven tusk]

They do know and understand money, judging by the vault bundles

[tough remnant]

They're not purple, so no

[nimble turtle]

k thank you

[harsh plover]

Is there a way to garuntee the 6 roe (max) from a chest when fishing?

[neat sail]

Probably had to buy the materials to fix it

[harsh plover]

I'm trying to get 3 iridium legends and their 6 roe

[hidden ore]

solar essences aren't purple either, just sayin

[vapid furnace]

The wizard is neutral towards starfruit

[tough remnant]

Not at all

[neat sail]

6 junimos in a trench coat heading to zuzu city for materials

[hidden ore]

kinda wanna see the comic strip for that now

[vapid furnace]

They gonna pull a Sonic and open a portal. Steal some oreo thins and leave a 20 on the shelf

[harsh plover]

do you get more roe if you catch 3 fish with challenge bait or is it always 1-6 per chest?

[tough remnant]

On the other hand, who do we know that keeps stars of some variety in their huts? The junimos from the CC, that's who

[wooden bison]

omg i didn't knew we could get those in the big size

[vapid furnace]

We know that the Junimos may or may not have the ability to open portals since they gave the Terrarian a starfruit one time in exchange for a Joja Cola

[tough remnant]

It's not even 1-6 per chest, it's 1/4 for the chest to have any at all, and then it's 1-3, and then another chance at doubling it, iirc

I don't think it's possible to get 5 roe in a fishing chest

[harsh plover]

Yeah but is it always 1-6? it won't be 1-18 if you catch 3 fish?

[tough remnant]

No

[harsh plover]

Yeah cause that would have to be 2.5 roe originally before doubling

[crimson halo]

which one of these is better ignoring the enchantment?

[harsh plover]

same with how the shafts work in skull cavern

[tough remnant]

Number of fish caught has no impact on chest loot

[vapid furnace]

I guess that makes sense since the 1-3 fish isn't necessarily attached to the amount of roe you get from the single treasure chest

[harsh plover]

I can't believe I'm saying this to you... but WRONG 🤓

You have a higher chance of getting a golden token if you catch 3 (99%) rainbow trouts as opposed to 1 (33%) or 2 (66%)

(the nerd is me)

[steady narwhal]

Defense vs speed your choice

[woven tusk]

Galaxy hammer can become infinity gavel, at least

[steady narwhal]

negate 2 damage or you like swinging your galaxy hammer

[harsh plover]

So if the stars may align, I'm gonna get 3 iridium legends size 51 inch today with 6 legend roe

And I'm gonna keep resetting till I do

[woven tusk]

Wait what

[tough remnant]

Gold tags aren't chest loot , you get them even if you didn't get a chest

[sonic skiff]

that's the terraria side of the crossover

[harsh plover]

okay you outsmarted me

[sonic skiff]

though i just assumed it was the dryad creating the portal

[harsh plover]

hey nonparelli remember we talked about limiteds

today I'm getting 3 iridium legends and 6 legend roe

[sonic skiff]

yeehaw !!!

[woven tusk]

Oh shit, fun!

[sonic skiff]

(oh god not the fandom wiki)

[crisp epoch]

do u guys know what happens during the desert festival if the desert is decorated/has many trees? i usually keep solar panels and plant a ridiculous amount of trees there for batteries and wood collecting

[vapid furnace]

Terraria - You can fish up Joja Cola alongside regular trash items with a bad fishing setup (Wooden fishing rod, tiny pond, etc) Then "purify" the cola at the Dryad NPC to open a portal. A Junimo comes out and gives you a Stardrop which allows you to summon a pet Junimo. "A fruit from another world, the taste is like a dream..."
There is also a blue chicken egg which summons a blue chicken. "A regular blue chicken egg" "The nametag says 'Shane'"

[sonic skiff]

it just uses an alternate map instead, all your stuff will come back after festival ends

[crimson halo]

animation canceling

[crisp epoch]

OHH that’s great news thank you !!!

[crimson halo]

i was talking damage wise 👍

[steady narwhal]

Oh welp then galaxy hammer

[vapid furnace]

Stardew - Toss an ancient doll into the "lava" at Floor 100 of the mines, similar to how you summon the Wall of Flesh boss fight by throwing a guide voodoo doll into lava in the underworld. Get a far away stone which is the gem of a forest pylon, then head to the Wizard's basement and put the stone onto the pylon base.

[harsh plover]

Because squid fest uses the same map I had my stuff broken by minor NPCs that come visit the valley

[plain flax]

Same with the ocean maps during the winter festivals.

[vapid furnace]

Cat comes out, gives you Meowmere, an end-game sword of Terraria which shoots Nyan Cat projectiles.

[plain flax]

You never lose anything except the crab pot output for festival days

[crisp epoch]

so basically my things are mostly safe during festivals

except maybe fishing frenzies?

[plain flax]

Yep.

[crisp epoch]

lovely, thanks!

[woven tusk]

I knew about this half since I've been reading about it.

I didn't know about the Terraria side due to having not played it in years

[harsh plover]

Is it the same with the desert festival btw?

[sonic skiff]

yeah

that's what i thought i was talking about

[tough remnant]

Should make new maps for villager pathing TBH

[harsh plover]

Yo Sicarious do you have any tip for my 3 iridium legends 6 roe run

Currently my strat is using cork bobbers to get perfect on the legend but I understand treasure bobber would be better

I gotta pray for that 6 roe lol

[pine barn]

dammit. accidentally blew up my haunted mannequin when trying to move it. What's the best way of getting a new one?

[woven tusk]

Slay moar skulls I guess

[pine barn]

yeah, that's what I thought

[harsh plover]

shouldn't you reset the day? and haunted skulls with burglar's ring and max luck is your best bet

max daily luck + lucky rings and lucky lunch

[woven tusk]

Does luck even affect enemy drops?

[harsh plover]

I'm 99% sure that yes

[pine barn]

It was 1:30am so couldn't be bothered

its not the end of the world, I'd just like to have one again

[woven tusk]

At least you can swing by that side path with the coal deposit spawns while you're at it

[pine barn]

I'm late game so coal is not an issue.

[wintry maple]

If you know what you are doing coal is never an issue.

I have like 700+ on the 22nd of spring year 1

[pine barn]

but yeah, guess I'll be doing quarry mine and levels 70-79 for a while ( l always have the alt mines on)

[hidden ore]

luck affects some special drops but I don't know which ones

[harsh plover]

Well burglar's ring is a must tho

[wooden oyster]

https://wckdy.com/

She has 1.6 villager pathing up.

[wintry maple]

Daily luck affect some monster drops and some not

[woven tusk]

...If indeed the mannequin is on the skull's burglar ring loot table

[wintry maple]

Burglar ring just rolls the loot table another time

[harsh plover]

Huh? there isn't a "burglar's ring" drop table

it's the same table rolled twice

[woven tusk]

The accompanying article was more fun to read than expected

No, the burglar ring doesn't use the standard drop table

[wooden oyster]

Hahaha.

[wintry maple]

Yes it does. It rolls the loot table twice

There isn't a specific burglars ring loot table

[woven tusk]

...This might be worse than the "marry Penny to move her back into a trailer" plan I had

[woven tusk]

If that were true, the possessed doll farm would yield nothing.

[tough remnant]

Wrong. Each monster type has a loot table called "additional loot" that Burglar's Ring adds to the existing drop table. On top of this, some (but not all) of the rare drops that add extra items are added twice if you have Burglar's Ring (this is why burglar's ring causes double drops at same frequency for some rare items, rather than doubling how frequently they drop)

[wintry maple]

Unless CA has changed how the ring works I'm pretty sure it just rolls the same table twice. Which is how you can get two prismatic jelly.

[tough remnant]

It does not and it never has

[woven tusk]

You are trying to argue with a person who datamines and reads the game code

Oh heck, does the Wiki still say it just doubles drops

[tough remnant]

The double prismatic jelly is part of the sketchy stuff that I mentioned with some extra drops getting doubled when added to the drop list

[tough remnant]

It's 100% not worth the effort of explaining how it actually works

[woven tusk]

It does still say that

[tough remnant]

Because it's a clusterfuck of spaghetti code meant to approximate rolling for drops twice

[woven tusk]

(The topic at hand was the cursed mannequin)

Is that one doubled by the Burglar ring, at least?

[mellow atlas]

they are so shiny

[tough remnant]

But it's not actually rolling twice because CA wanted to exclude some stuff

[wintry maple]

Does the monster compendium work like the burglars ring them?

[tough remnant]

Like prismatic shard drops

[tough remnant]

Nope

[wintry maple]

How does that work then?

[woven tusk]

Compendium causes an item to duplicate itself upon successful drop

[wooden oyster]

Lol that’s hilarious.

[strong geode]

in what order should the masteries be claimed?

[tough remnant]

Haven't looked at that myself, but from talking to other people about it, Monster Compendium literally just takes whatever the final drops are and doubles them

Only secondhand info so I might be wrong on that front

[wooden oyster]

Farming priority is the popular answer. Then it depends on your game style after farming.

Me personally:

Farming>fishing>foraging>mining>combat

[hidden ore]

if you have large fields of crops, the farming mastery will ease their use in the game considerably, and the xp gained will be very helpful for the other masteries

after that, it all depends, as FST says

[woven tusk]

[strong geode]

WAIT HOW TF AM I SUPPOSED TO GET 333 MOSS 999 SAP 999 FIBER AND 999 STONE

[hidden ore]

fiber during the summer green rain event, moss the same, stone: just get yourself over to the mines or the quarry

[tough remnant]

But yeah, burglar's ring not actually doubling drops results in fun stuff like causing cursed doll enemies, which normally drop nothing, to drop bat wings... because they're actually just resprited bats, and the code that purges their loot table forgot to purge the additional drops table

[hidden ore]

or if you have the fiber seeds recipe, do that for the fiber

[gray tartan]

It's actually not that bad, the sap accumulates from tree cutting

[strong geode]

yeah but 333 moss

[wooden oyster]

Lol you’re really getting a kick out of her website. 😂 I never noticed the snarky stuff until now.

[harsh plover]

huh, TIL

[strong geode]

can you really get 333 from 1 green rain event

[hidden ore]

oh sure

[chilly bloom]

No I think it drops everything again

[hidden ore]

prioritize scything all the things, don't do anything else except animal care

[tough remnant]

It's almost completely useless technical knowledge

[chilly bloom]

Doubling what you would have gotten

[hidden ore]

yes but it's interesting almost completely useless technical knowledge

[tough remnant]

Actually, I don't know if Burglar's Ring and Hot Java Ring work together, I should look into that

[gray tartan]

Question about the statue of blessing, does the prismatic butterfly have a time limit? I've searched the valley for it a few times, I've found it 3 times and 3 times I started later in the day and couldn't find it.

[buoyant lark]

i always liked to think this is a mental thing for pam

since her 8 heart event is her having a crisis over how she cant change

she probably doesnt think she deserves to sleep in a bed

[mellow atlas]

fiber seeds

sap is easy if you chop trees stone is easy if you mine

[tough remnant]

The 333 moss is the hard one

[harsh plover]

You know, I wish the wiki would have an extra row for rings saying "stacks"? and then yes/no

Cause I'm guessing the rings that don't stack are Burglar's, Napalm, Slime Charmer, Phoenix, Savage, Yoba, warrior and I THINK Hot Java Ring and Sturdy Ring.

[mellow atlas]

moss is either grinding or green rain day

for me most difficult part was to get fiber

[harsh plover]

Mines is great for fibers

the lava floors

[wintry maple]

You can go Into the infected caves in the severs to get a bunch of fiber

[mellow atlas]

yeah

[harsh plover]

Yeah that too but it's once per day right?

[wooden oyster]

Depending on where you are in the game also can make fiber easier. Get like 5 deconstructors and run grass starters through them. 50 fiber every hour.

[wintry maple]

Yeah but it's a lot

[mellow atlas]

but fiber seeds i guess is the most reliable and no-effort way

[tough remnant]

Fibre is very easy once you have walnut room access

[grizzled summit]

anything special about about chub frenzy in the mountain lake?

[tawdry swan]

Is it just me or is Meadowlands Farm not being talked about a lot here?

[mellow atlas]

but i can't craft them a lot

[gray tartan]

The only negative is it takes a while to reset but its a great change of pace

[gray tartan]

I'm on it, I like it

[wooden oyster]

👆🏻

[neat sail]

Fish chubs

[wintry maple]

It's a nice farm but kinda basic.

[tawdry swan]

Finally, someone who also likes Meadowlands 😭

[tough remnant]

It's nice and pretty, but only affects some people, whereas the new mechanics and other features affect everyone

[woven tusk]

Grass Starter into the Deconstructor gets you cheap fiber.

In my case, fiber is the only material I'm short on in y1, and I'm planning to plant a lot of Fiber Seeds anyway at the end of winter

[harsh plover]

Meadowlands is great, pretty and gives you blue grass early

[mellow atlas]

but you need many deconstructors

[woven tusk]

Free coop and chickens are really helpful in the early game

[grizzled summit]

i like meadowlands, its like they made a farm for meeeeee~ cause i alwasy do alot of animals instead of crops

[wooden oyster]

No.

[tawdry swan]

I definitely like the free coop part of it

[hidden ore]

there has been a lot of buzz about it in this channel earlier, now it's just from time to time as the activity around the update calms down somewhat

[wooden oyster]

5ish or so. Run every hour. That’s 50 fiber per hour.

[gray tartan]

I liked starting out with chickens already, and I cut down all the green grass so now my farm is covered in exclusively blue

[hidden ore]

problem is that means you need to be doing work all day near the deconstructors (I'm usually running around and would only get to them twice a day)

[grizzled summit]

any way to start blue grass or just have to wait for it to grow on its own?

[hidden ore]

grass starter recipe from the walnut room

[tough remnant]

Meadowlands is optimal for my "minimum earnings + no travelling cart" challenge run

[grizzled summit]

sweet!

[olive patio]

yes play meadowlands

[gray tartan]

On any farm other than meadow, you need to buy the recipe

[wooden oyster]

No I get that. But if you need to do the crafting recipe and you’re prioritizing fiber, better getting fiber this way than slaving away at the mines.

[tawdry swan]

Imagine if they have a farm layout that gives a free barn instead 😅

[gray tartan]

Pigs early, damn

[hidden ore]

if you're spending a day in the mines you might be doing a few other things there at the same time. (if you really are only grinding fiber, then I agree)

[tawdry swan]

I was thinking of early cows but oh well

[hidden ore]

free deluxe barn... never gonna happen 😛

[wooden oyster]

Yeah to each their own, I guess.

[gray tartan]

Right but I was thinking you don't have to wait for Robin to build the barn 3 times. Only 2

[hidden ore]

I plant some fiber seeds in winter if I get close to only one stack left, works ok

[tawdry swan]

We have a free coop farm already so why not a free barn farm this time? 👀

[tough remnant]

Free house upgrade farm

[hidden ore]

barn: maybe. deluxe barn: umnope

[wooden oyster]

Yeah honestly I use fiber seeds too. For the additional benefit of trying to get the living hat. 😡

[tawdry swan]

That makes it worth it

[gray tartan]

Free 100% farm

[hidden ore]

allow me to brag one more time about having gotten it in early spring on this save 😛

[wind fossil]

I hadn't played the game in years so when I was making my new farm it was a tough choice between 4 corners and default but I went with default for the space, meadowlands sounds interesting for lots of animals and my friends playthrough together we picked that, the early chickens was nice

[wooden oyster]

Across my 7 files, not once. I’m super jealous lol.

[harsh plover]

4 corners is so cool because it gives you a quarry and a pond for fishing

[hidden ore]

4 saves, got it on first and last one! unbelievable luck. on first save I had no idea of its value so put it in a chest....

[gray tartan]

I got the living hat by accident

[tawdry swan]

The chickens I got were brown and white at my save

[tough remnant]

I have never naturally gotten Living Hat.

[wind fossil]

[tough remnant]

Yeah that's guaranteed

[wind fossil]

how do you get the living hat?

[wooden oyster]

I got the trash can hat on my first save and chucked it… in the trash lol. I was like “this is useless.” 😂

[tough remnant]

I've only ever gotten Living Hat from farming it

[wooden oyster]

Lol RNG gods smiled upon you.

[wind fossil]

I've tried so hard to get the trash hat and I'm in autumn year 1 with no luck

[gray tartan]

A lot of people haven't, I think I have ~2.5khrs and I've only gotten it 2 times

[tough remnant]

1/100,000 chance from breaking a weed.
Or 1/10,000 chance from killing a wilderness golem

[hidden ore]

trash can hat onl y on this save, no others

[wind fossil]

I'm probs pretty close to odds at this point

[tawdry swan]

I got the trash hat very early on (summer, Y1)

[harsh plover]

you mean never "accidentally"?

btw do iridium golems spawn on maps other than wilderness? I have never seen them even with shrine of night terrors enabled

[tough remnant]

Never got it without a specific farming strat for it

[hidden ore]

both times I got the living hat while just clearing out the beginning farm debris. as Yoba intended. 😛

[wooden oyster]

I’m spending extra time on 1.6 when it comes to console. The hat. Will. Be. Mine.

[tough remnant]

Both times I got living hat, it was from savescumming with bombs strat

[gray tartan]

Idk how I have 7 lucky rings, 3 garbage hats, a living hat and a hair bone. I don't know what I did.

[tawdry swan]

I have a Switch but not buying Stardew Valley on that

[woven tusk]

I would like to know this too, though I'd never act on the information (because iridium golems spawn at combat 9+ but freaking serpents spawn at combat 10)

[wind fossil]

I'm taking this save very slow considering I haven't played since before multiplayer came out

[wooden oyster]

Plant and bomb, no hat, reset?

[wind fossil]

a few things are familiar but so much has changed

[tough remnant]

Made a lot easier in 1.5 by the addition of GI, which is way easier to stockpile weeds on

[tawdry swan]

8-player Multiplayer definitely worth it

[harsh plover]

Haha I've had a couple serpants but never an iridium golem

[wind fossil]

fr it's super fun to get the squad together for stardew

[tough remnant]

Can't plant weeds, just need to let them grow and try prune other obstacles. Best done on GI since weeds all die in winter on the mainland

[woven tusk]

That reminds me.

Is there a fast way to un-fertilize soil on GI for when I pivot from DSG Starfruit to DRS AF?

[harsh plover]

I even had iridium bats spawn spring year 1

[gray tartan]

A lot has changed, take your time! It's great.

[wind fossil]

totally different game with multiple hands, in my friends game I'm the fisher expert

[tough remnant]

Until and retil

[wooden oyster]

Wait… so fiber seeds don’t count? Well then this is gonna be a nightmare to get. Lol

[woven tusk]

That's it, huh. Because season-changes don't happen there, I'm guessing

[tough remnant]

Yup, fibre seeds are not weeds.

[mellow atlas]

if you were to start a new file with 1m gold where would you spend it

[wintry maple]

On the casino. All in on slots baby!!!!

[tough remnant]

I don't know if I've ever just left soil empty TBH

[tough remnant]

Clint's, overwhelmingly. Just buy out all the ores to rush tool upgrades.

[wind fossil]

probably tools but getting them all to iridium would still leave you with like 850k lol

[wooden oyster]

With 1.6, backpack, joja route, starfruit (maybe not because lack of sprinklers), golden walnut parrot.

[wind fossil]

I'm sure I'd buy too many seeds then get overwhelmed watering them all

as is tradition

[tough remnant]

Unlimited normal sprinklers

[mellow atlas]

i see i see

[tough remnant]

Since you can just buy the resources

[wooden oyster]

Ah true.

[arctic crest]

books from bookseller maybe?

[wind fossil]

I'm glad I bought the seeing price book early, worth it tbh

[chilly aspen]

sandy is so cute at the desert festival

[wind fossil]

sandy is so cute at the desert festival

[tough remnant]

If I'm selling it I'm selling it and the price doesn't really matter lol

I only actually care about price in the planning phase

And that's done before the item ever touches my inventory

[chilly aspen]

if she were a marriage candidate she would be unstoppable

[wintry maple]

There is mods for that. Just saying. (Sandy is so cute and I wish she was a marriage candidate in base game)

[wind fossil]

I'm really excited to live with krobus

[chilly aspen]

i have 600+ hours in sdv and most of them were spent on two perfection runs, i've made a fresh save file for 1.6 (20 something hours in) and i love reliving all the heart scenes

[wind fossil]

he was iconic before you could move in with him and I definitely want him because the bachelors aren't my favourite

[silver magnet]

dehydrator vs brewary which is better?

[tough remnant]

I want the cursed love triangle plot where the ever-oblivious Emily tries to set Clint up with Sandy because she thinks they'd be sweet together. Clint doesn't realise and thinks Emily has finally decided to give him a chance when she invites him for dinner, only for her to show Sandy in and leave the two "lovebirds" together

It'd be so in-character for Emily in particular

[wind fossil]

those mods are godsends for people who were disappointed when they found out robins already taken lmao

I love Demetrius and Robins relationship but I was very put out at first

[wintry maple]

(I have the romacable robin mod on rn for my current playtrough)

[wind fossil]

she a girlboss queen

[tough remnant]

Keg gets more money per crop, so kegs are better if you have enough to process all your crops as fast as you produce them. Dehydrators process more crops for cheaper though, so are better early on when you don't have access to lots of kegs.

[tough remnant]

Cursed affair where you marry Robin while dating both her kids lol

[silver magnet]

i have like 50 dehydrators, that is going to be a problem

[woven tusk]

Emily got more votes than her, alas

[wintry maple]

Well I never really get that far except on my y20 farm

I usually play until year 3 then start a new playtrough

[tough remnant]

The classic playstyle

[chilly aspen]

i just realized the desert fair, apart from emily's birthday, is one of the rare occasions sandy gets to do anything and/or interact with the farmer

[wind fossil]

I think I want to perfection this playthrough of mine but I'm not going to commit to it just in case I decide not to

[chilly aspen]

justice for my girl sandy

[wintry maple]

I mean what can I say. I .mostly enjoy the early game of struggling

[desert stag]

Guys the birds in Volacno island are the same kind always but appear differently?

[wintry maple]

Efter year 1 it kinda gets more and more boring imo

[tough remnant]

Playing until year 3 used to be the norm back in the early days when the "end of the game" was Grandpa's Evaluation.

[desert stag]

Ruby - Aquamarine - Topaz - Amethyst

[hidden ore]

I like getting to the point where I can do what I want on the farm (which usually entails a lot of decorating, nope that sucks, redecorating, hmm don't like that either, redecorating...)

[wind fossil]

I know one goal I am sticking to is getting 99 million gold

[harsh plover]

Do you guys have any tips for my 3 iridium legends 6 roe run

Currently my strat is using cork bobbers to get perfect on the legend but I understand treasure bobber would be better
I gotta pray for that 6 roe lol

[wintry maple]

Oh yeah I usually quit before then. (I hate grandpa)

[tough remnant]

5 options, of which 4 are used each save, in random positions.

No repeats though.

[wind fossil]

cause I wanted to do that on my last playthrough like 6-7 years ago but the save got corrupted in autumn year 3 :(

[desert stag]

What is the fifth option?

Which Stone?

[tough remnant]

Emerald

[wind fossil]

I think I was at 2 million at the time

[tough remnant]

It depends on how consistently you can get perfect catch. Personally, if I could get a Rainy + Blessing of Waters day, I'd even consider double treasure

Since 16 fishing by itself makes 82.5 difficulty pretty doable

Not sure if it can rain on desert festival days, I presume no

If it can, then 19 fishing is possible even

[glacial zephyr]

Why arent all the beds showing up in the furniture catalogue for me?

[tough remnant]

Most beds aren't available

Also beds are uncategorised for some reason

[glacial zephyr]

wdym unavailable?

like i wan tpirate bed and apparently its meant to be in the catalogue but i cant find it?

[harsh plover]

Um, well...

The day is desert festival (can grab a shrimp donut), rainy, blessing of waters and I have a master rod and a seafoam pudding.

Yet I'm still worried about not getting a perfect catch. I'm not the best at fishing.

[tough remnant]

It is not available in the catalogue, it's exclusive to Penny's 14 heart event

Was changed in 1.6. Was originally exclusive to the heart event, then in 1.5 was added to furniture catalogue, then in 1.6 they added the decals from the event to the Desert Festival but removed the beds so you couldn't just get all the stuff from her 14 heart event without actually doing it, like all the other spouses

[final bolt]

any special fish during the green rain event?

[tidal obsidian]

I think it acts like regular rain for fish

[sonic skiff]

yeah, no special fish

[tidal obsidian]

Does dried magma caps sell for a lot?

[sonic skiff]

i imagine pickling them would be more profit?

3025g without artisan, so 605g per magma cap

847g per magma cap with artisan

[pine barn]

they do, but it's not worth it

unless you have absoloutely masses of them

[sonic skiff]

yeah, pickling them would be way better

[dusty mason]

oh wow a prismatic butterfly just dropped me a prismatic shard

same. although now I don't have a need for prismatic shard drops

[lavish rapids]

but money

[pine barn]

same, but I still get a small thrill from finding one

[pine barn]

just remember that you can only enter a map area once, else it will disappear.

[lavish rapids]

I mean I think it's just cause the SVE map is really really big

[pine barn]

So, for example, if you go to the mountains, you need to look all over the mountains before going to the train station

[solemn yacht]

How do the Fish Frenzy spots look like, does the game notify you when one shows up, and is it at a fixed time so you can restart the day to better plan your route?

[native rain]

Game notifies you

[lavish rapids]

They look like bubbles with fish hopping out of the water, yes it notifies you, no idea

[pine barn]

I had one that appeared by the tunnel to the desert, but I was on the trail to the mountins, and when I went back via the bus stop, the butterfly was gone

[woven tusk]

This is what a fish frenzy looks like

[solemn yacht]

Cool. So it's like basically Fish Bubbles but better.

[woven tusk]

Or worse, if it's something stupid like Carps or Chubs

[finite horizon]

Fixed time but the exact species may change

[woven tusk]

Catfish, Sturgeon, Super Cucumber... that's the good stuff

[solemn yacht]

I'll still take Chubs. Carp Frenzy is such poop tier though.

[lavish rapids]

minow frenzie

the issue I've found with my frenzies is they're always right next to land so they're always base tier >:(

[solemn yacht]

Hopefully SVE also implements the frenzy. Would love a Butterfish/Puppyfish/King Salmon frenzy.

[lavish rapids]

Lava Eel Frenzie 🤤

[hidden ore]

carp surprise is a thing

[lavish rapids]

They have, I've gotten frenzies from SVE fish

[woven tusk]

If I want it, I fish in the sewer

Literal shit tier fish

[hidden ore]

lol

I rather like the environment of the mountain lake for fishing as opposed to the ewww stinky sewer

[tough remnant]

Forest River Fish Frenzy on Day 3 could well be worth seeding for for some challenge runs

Then reset day for catfish

[woven tusk]

That's not it. Carps are the only thing that spawns in there, I believe

[solemn yacht]

Excellent. Time to further break my new save file with the SkipFishingMinigame mod.

[hidden ore]

and the mutant one I guess

[lavish rapids]

smh

[solemn yacht]

PC is for shenanigans, Switch is for purist experience.

[hidden ore]

I wonder what the odds are for trash in the sewers as opposed to everywhere else

[solemn yacht]

It's at least much lower than floor 80, ironically.

Imma guess 2nd highest rate.

[hidden ore]

omg there is a fishing bite sound you can change?? wut TIL

[tough remnant]

I don't think sewer actually has any particular boost to trash rates

[hidden ore]

it should

[tough remnant]

It's just that there's only other 3 items on the catch list

Rolls for Carp, Green Algae, White Algae in random order, and if they all fail then you get random trash

[hidden ore]

oh the algae, right

[arctic crest]

algae = trash
In my mind

[tough remnant]

Which is more likely than getting trash from places with more items in the catch list

[young cargo]

So I lost my iridium scythe.. I cannot go back to picking up crops one by one.. I am ruined.

[arctic crest]

restart days?

[hidden ore]

wait it's not supposed to be an item you can lose

[tough remnant]

How did you even manage that?

[young cargo]

But idk when I lost it.

[buoyant field]

not sus at all

[hidden ore]

not in lost and found, any crate, etc?

[tough remnant]

It is probably in a chest somewhere

[young cargo]

I don't know but I've checked every chest like 10x times. and lost and found

[young cargo]

I swear it is just not.

[tough remnant]

The classic "chest you forgot existed" problem

Most likely

[hidden ore]

I wonder if the save file format lets you check for something like that using text search tools

[vapid furnace]

Maybe the game could give you a second as a failsafe when you go back to the mastery room

[arctic crest]

would be busted in co-op

[vapid furnace]

Can't see how, since the scythe isn't sellable or enchantable

It's not like the perfection statue with a few iridium nuggets per day

[tough remnant]

Probably, since most new item IDs are names rather than numbers now

[tough remnant]

Shouldn't be necessary since it's meant to be impossible to lose

[hidden ore]

my entry in the savegame info xml file says it's a melee weapon 😄 it also says "<isLostItem>false</isLostItem>" so that's interesting

<currentParentTileIndex>66</currentParentTileIndex>n I wonder what that means

[vapid furnace]

What's the word for when something has a failsafe, and a failsafe for the failsafe in case the first one fails?

Redundancy protocol?

[young cargo]

This is very embarrasing. I spent 4 in-game days looking. I did find it now... just as I complained about it.

I swear bitchin about things always helps

xd

[hidden ore]

you know what I don't care as long as you found it, congrats!

[dense yacht]

If nothing else there is the therapeutic value

[young cargo]

haha, true.

[dense yacht]

I can put up with almost anything as long as I can complain about it

[vapid furnace]

Why did my train of thought go "Redundancy protocol, curiosity rover on Mars, Twitch Chat sending commands to move a rover on another planet, full DougDoug style"

[young cargo]

Also, FINALLY got my hands on the retro TV!

I am so happy

[vapid furnace]

My brain is 404ing with those two catalogues on top of one another

[young cargo]

Got this my first desert festival but I was like 4 eggs short, now, year 4, finally George was there again.

[young cargo]

They're really buddy buddy

[green kindle]

Only 36% in 2 years

[young cargo]

Well tbf, a lot of the things you have left are not terribly time consuming? (granted that you have saved crops for cooking)

But really, how have you only cooked 2%

[slender wing]

Only cooking sashimi and fried egg until year 2💪

[green kindle]

[buoyant field]

just need the jumino one now

[green kindle]

^ exactly that

[dusty mason]

uhh

[young cargo]

waaahhhh, I am so jealous of that trash catalouge.

[buoyant field]

just gotta dig through all the trash

[young cargo]

I do...!!

[urban wolf]

what do u use mytic syrup for

[hushed glade]

1 is required to ship and can be traded with the raccoons for fairy dust

[urban wolf]

i got juniml by pure luck on traveling cart

[mellow atlas]

Are the big quests (forgot what they are called ) now more frequent or am i delusional?

[urban wolf]

ugh im only on the "now we'll make a family"

[young cargo]

Woah, didn't know this item existed. Now I need to farm the skulls

[buoyant field]

dig through all on lucky days

[dusty mason]

literally why, I wanted gold quality ones aaaa

[slender wing]

Think you gotta dig through like 25(?) cans and then after that, every can you dig in has a large chance of giving you the catalogue

[hidden ore]

blue grass starter, and also treasure totems (which spawn the circle of artifact spots)

[young cargo]

"large chance", I've dug through like 600 at this point, with luck buffs!

[slender wing]

Thats crazy

[hidden ore]

I don't know if luck buffs impact that, isn't it seeded to the save?

[buoyant field]

I'll keep trying my luckkk

[slender wing]

I got it immediately after starting to dig through cans

[green kindle]

I got the trash catalogue on my first month year 1

[woven tusk]

I thought it was later found to be a tiny chance

[dusty mason]

i'm pretty sure luck doesnt matter, I saw it on the stardew predictor

[woven tusk]

Mouseypounds' predictor can find it for you, ye

[slender wing]

Did the rarity change?

[drowsy steeple]

hii updated the fishing calculator with jelly
https://brokencygnus.github.io/stardew-fishing-calc/home

[dusty mason]

yeah, next one for me is fall year 4 and im in winter year 3

[pulsar stump]

I CANT GIVE GIFTS DURING GREEN RAIN???

[drowsy steeple]

so turns out you need fishing level as low as possible for jellies to have the maximum chance

[hidden ore]

wow the chance for sea jelly is so dang low, that explains it

[urban wolf]

i dont think so aventurine pfp

[pulsar stump]

Thank you arlecchino pfp

[urban wolf]

your welcome hsr fan

[distant gulch]

that's awesome! thank you!

[drowsy steeple]

please help share it! Sicarious and I took a long time figuring out the calculations

there's an explanation in the code (it's open source) if anyone's interested

[hidden ore]

feeling glad I have a flounder fish pond right now

[jovial dune]

if I plant winter seeds on winter 28, will the plots still be preserved on spring 1? Trying to preserve fertilizer but my dumb self cleared the powdermelons with no time left

[drowsy steeple]

no unless you plant fiber seeds

[neat sail]

If you're pc you can just download a mod to keep watered soil

[jovial dune]

I know if a crop goes into a season it doesn't grow, it becomes dead plants but the plots still stay

[hidden ore]

there is no winter crop that can carry over, fiber is your only option. the forage seeds (wild seeds) never carry over from one season to the next

you'll have some odds for some tiles to become untilled

[hushed glade]

If there is no crops, a lot will be untilled

[jovial dune]

I dunno if my question is coming across, but I guess I'll just find out

[hidden ore]

dead plant is equivalent to not having a crop there, I believe

[pine skiff]

maybe you could put it in your profile, if youre allowed to?

[hushed glade]

Winter forage, powdermelon, fiber?

[dusty mason]

oo that's a really useful tool, I'm definitely saving it

[hushed glade]

they still should be preserved yes

[hidden ore]

ok I am correcting myself, dead plants do not act like no crops. they indeed keep the tile preserved

[hushed glade]

as long as crops are on a plot, they will not go untilled

[drowsy steeple]

good idea, I don't have nitro but I'll set it up on my discord profile, thanks!

[lofty axle]

Well that's a cool alternate layout

[neat sail]

That layout would piss me tf off it's so long

[lofty axle]

I need to look for a ladder here now tho

[pine skiff]

the random cliff just for the ladder

[lofty axle]

[pine skiff]

💔

[urban wolf]

the new layouts kill me

[lofty axle]

it's nice to see something new tho

[pine skiff]

arle savings r going to aswell

[hidden ore]

I hit one of those 'many islands in a sea of lava' layouts in the volcano dungeon the other day, truly annoying

[steady narwhal]

May I introduce you this layout?

[hidden ore]

you can't really see what's on any of the others than the one you're on, they might have a chest or some other useful thing...

[harsh plover]

I've caught like 50 prismatic butterflies and never got a shard, only monies

[pine skiff]

eel

[steady narwhal]

long one too

[pine skiff]

more gold though

[hidden ore]

instant staircase right there

[steady narwhal]

lmao

[dusty mason]

I've only found 3, and I found this one on accident lol

[harsh plover]

I think I'm just gonna mentally prepare and then use 2 treasure bobbers

[dusty mason]

prismatic shards after a certain point just kind of become useless though

[lofty axle]

HOW DO YOU DO SOMETHING WITH BUTTERFLIES

[hidden ore]

eh magic rock candy I guess

[harsh plover]

||statue of blessings||

[neat sail]

Staircase immediately

[dusty mason]

what would magic rock candy even be useful for

[steady narwhal]

true

[harsh plover]

skull cavern records

[hidden ore]

anything where you want a lot of luck

[harsh plover]

if you already at the limit of the game might as well set challenge yourself

"How deep can I go in skull caverns"?

[dusty mason]

doesn't luck barely affect anything?

[lofty axle]

well it actually does a lot

[dusty mason]

you get like 5 stacks of staircases and you just spend all day just going down

[hidden ore]

it affects extra ore from nodes, ladder spawns, panning (with the new iridium pan! includes clothing drops), and other stuff

[dusty mason]

iirc the wiki said it only did very little stuff

[harsh plover]

except if you get shafts you could go down even more floors per day

[dusty mason]

I think ladder spawns are only affected by daily luck

[lofty axle]

speaking of sc
I'm going for a record today
it's 10am and I'm at floor 60 already

[slender wing]

Doesnt affect as much as maybe you'd expect, but still affects a lot and can dictate what you shouldnt do on a given day

[lofty axle]

I got twice 10+ shafts

[harsh plover]

and dwarf statue

[hidden ore]

hm I could be wrong about that or not remembering right

[lofty axle]

Perfect luck and ladder/shaft blessing

[harsh plover]

niceee
That saves a lot of day time, even with pause-buffering staircases

[neat sail]

Wiki says it does a lot

[harsh plover]

I think shafts are the key to breaking records if you can find a reliable way to spawn lots

[weary quarry]

what is this.

[hidden ore]

hm wiki thinks that luck buffs do not differ from daily luck as far as ladders (it lists the differences)

[neat sail]

Mystery boxes can now be found

[weary quarry]

what are those

and where can i find them

[vapid root]

Basically loke geods and anywhere

Like

[hidden ore]

go do things, cut trees, fish, kill monsters.... and you'll see

[harsh plover]

CS;GO crates Qi style

[dusty mason]

it doesnt mention ladders in the regular luck section

[hidden ore]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Luck#Luck_Buff_Effects for future reference, as to luck buffs vs daily luck

[mystic radish]

hi guys, can I ask how can I load a tapper on the green rain trees? It's just not working

[glossy ore]

you don't

[vapid root]

No sadly

[mystic radish]

oh, interesting

[hidden ore]

the fiddlehead fern trees can take tappers but not the other ones

[mystic radish]

because the stardew wiki says we could

[vapid root]

Good to know

[mystic radish]

confused

[harsh plover]

Wiki isn't 100% accurate all the time though

[dusty mason]

you tap them and they create moss juice (I'm kidding)

[dusty mason]

yeah true

[vapid root]

How what

[hidden ore]

they are in the daily luck section and not listed in the "luck buff effects" section as to things impacted by daily luck and not by luck buffs.

[dusty mason]

it was a joke, should've clarified that lol sry

[mystic radish]

thank you guys!

[vapid root]

Omg my bad lol

[mystic radish]

[dusty mason]

no worries

[vapid root]

I feel dumb after that 😆

[hidden ore]

nah, there's lots of little details in the game mechanics, too many for anyone to keep track of

[vapid root]

Fair

[dusty mason]

yeah exactly ^

[hidden ore]

hard to know if someone is joking because some stuff is so surprising in here 😄

[vapid root]

Fr

[harsh plover]

Yesterday I spent the entire day browsing reddit, the stardew forums and the wiki to find a list of rings that stack and rings that don't

It's baffling I found nothing

Really so much to keep track of in the game

[dusty mason]

"new pickaxe upgrade!"

[harsh plover]

Who let lil bro enchant his pickaxe with Reaching

[wispy slate]

God i need that

[mellow atlas]

dam the green rain got me so much fiber

[dusty mason]

it'd be really annoying to do sc runs and stuff with that with the little delay

[woven tusk]

Would love that for removing DSG en masse to replace with DRS

[mellow atlas]

43k earn today sheesh

[hidden ore]

bombs have a delay too though

[dusty mason]

yeah but every rock just having a tiny delay would kinda suck

I mean when not charging it

not the time it takes to actually charge

[lofty axle]

gemologist and mining mastery go along crazy well

[hidden ore]

I'm imagining you would only use it for larger clusters, just like bombs. only it's free instead of costing 1k (but also uses stamina)

[lofty axle]

+book to earn diamonds

[harsh plover]

But you gotta stop in place to use it

And it doesn't have a 360° affect

[hidden ore]

no, you'd have to learn to approach a cluster from the right angle for optimal use

I don't think I'd take it even if it were available, but it might be worth testing out just to see

[dusty mason]

yeah, I'm saying the tiny delay when just trying to hit once with it

like the hoe and the watering can have, when you just use them for 1 tile

[hidden ore]

I suppose one could animation-cancel that away?

[dusty mason]

it's at the start of the animation, though

[harsh plover]

Isn't that just the same delay when pickaxe is unupgraded...?

I don't get it

[dusty mason]

when you upgrade the hoe it has a tiny extra delay at the start, you hold it in the air for a bit longer

[hidden ore]

I'm not getting the difference between those and the axe let's say. but maybe I'm just not observant enough

[dusty mason]

so we're just saying what if pickaxe had an upgrade that charged like that
