At what point in the game do mystery boxes start appearing?
Ty
guys I have a question
I got this drop from a tiger slime it looked like a staff with a blue gem on the top kinda looked like the return staff but it fell into the lava I can’t find it on the wiki am I tripping?
Its called ice staff and its a trinket
Ice rod not staff
LMAO NVM
Yeah I'm just dumb
bro thought he could mini mod me 😈🤫🧏♀️
Nah I just thought I was in seasoned
ah fair
is this peak?
might as well, there's room
the snail was already there anyway
the snail is the secretary
ANOTHER STAR GOTTEN TODAY LES GOOO
is there a way to get truffles without deluxe barn?
try putting a tent next to sc and see how much farther you can get
no more than a few floors probably
PB is PB
well yeah but there's more that goes into it
the only reason i got 733 was because i got super lucky anyway
help. is it really supposed to be this hard to get some cave jelly? i've been fishing for days in level 100 with spicy eel and nada
if i did a run with 1.6 maxed gear rn i probably wouldnt break 700 or even 650
It shouldn’t
I fished for 5 hours the other day and got 3
Maybe try fishing on the lava floor..?
I think the pool is smaller there
is that not level 100?
i'm on a lucky day too i dont understand i just want a fish smoker 
Luck doesn’t affect what you catch
It only affect the chance of encountering treasure while fishing
the traveling merchant might sell them but i'm not sure
Have you been doing max casts?
the wiki says for cave jelly "Each level of Luck Buff applied significantly increases the chance of catching it. Daily Luck has no effect." is that not what it means?
I've been doing max casts and not max to switch it up lol
So you need to eat luck buff food, get luck blessing from the statue or get the +luck from the lucky ring
Those are the only kinds of luck affecting chances of jelly
A lucky day won’t do it
Okay. I've been eating spicy eel and still nada.
Hmmm
Try lucky lunch maybe..?
I'm so picking the meadow farm when the update comes out for the switch
And ginger ale
its not related to your fishing level right?
And the black cat
I dont think fishing level affects what matters here, which is fish content (?) I could be wrong
But casting far from shore does decrease the chance of catching trash
i have so much trash 
i need to see this happen, i wanna know what you mfs are doing and start studying 😭
there should be stairless SC runs on youtube that can get that good right?
Ofc
How can you say no to 34 permanent energy
It's also needed for perfection so
ok so with the advanced iridium rod is I have two spinners one one rod does the time stack, like does it go to 14s or stay at 7s
all bobber effecgs stack
Ty
Don't say no to Stardrops :p
It is? I never noticed it
I FINALLY GOT A CAVE JELLY 😭
9 tiles from entrance to left,
8 tiles from entrance to right
Huh... now to load into my game and ruminate on the misalignment
Your rod affects available fish and your level effects available rods
Congrats! I remember almost going insane trying to get it
don’t know if this is 1.6 related but i have to ask: i have neptunes glaive and i can’t figure out the last modifier
its not mentioned on the swords wiki page
It's enchanted
oh what
It's one of the only weapons that come with an enchantment
pre enchanted, gotcha
There is a sword that comes with vampiric, I forgot the name
thankyou random fish gut for coughing this bad boy up
dark blade
it comes with crusader too
auto
Ty!!!
forced
Saves so much time
hold the phone, does green rain transform trees into the weird Mossy tree?
i planted 10 Oak tree for, Oak resin harvesting, and now 8/10 trees are the weird dark green overgrowth leaves ( not the fiddlehead fern tree)
desert
chests do that
just right click with a big chest
on the original
deconstructor?
trash?
other areas for storage
you have heavy furnace
how are you not end game
nothing to add, just love your name
in the ENTIRE company?
Join us. Thrive.
what are you supposed to do during a green rain?
Run around and scythe all the moss off trees
what is moss good for?
idk what any of those are but ok❤️❤️ bless
you're still early in the game. I would collect moss for now but those two things aren't super important at the moment
Deluxe Bait too
Also, what Innate should I go for on an Iridium Needle? Crit Power?
I believe crit power yeah but don't quote me on it
apparently the weapon is really good
Well sweet, that was the first thing I rolled
75 crit power
With desperado and crit power innate it can go to 1.3k in crits
can you get legend II fish bait?
I think so, yeah
holy crap
ugh you'd have to consistently catch the legend II though, which is still annoying even with max buffs
i already do lava eel fishing at the volcano and it taxes your attention
Hey, any tips for starting wilderness farm?
i'd get a club asap, the special ability is really good
but other than that idk, just do a lot of skull caverns and dangerous mines run so you're comfortable with combat
Thanks - I'm mainly concerned about the first four days before having a sword. Do you just sleep early to be safe?
according ot the wiki the monsters scale according to combat level
so honestly i think you'll be fine just ignoring them even if you are defenseless
they also only spawn at night and on the farm
👍 Thanks.
people say that you only get like 1 or 2 monsters a night btw
Personally, at 10 combat, I get a good couple of monsters if I stay out too late, and we're talking like a couple void spirits, purple slimes, to iridium golems and iridium bats
Also seems to be dependent on daily luck too
From what I know wilderness golems are affected by this and are likely to spawn if daily luck is bad
i think deluxe is worth it just for the fishing bar increase
dont think its worth turning legend II into bait, thats like the fish equivalent of turning starfruits into seeds with a seed maker lol
true
you get way more legend hooks though than without targetted bait
unless you're using something like a curiosity lure and in which case that uses up a bobber slot
like in my experience with lava eels there's no way i could catch 20 lava eels in a day without targetted bait
depends on your skill level ig
could see it working either way with targeted or deluxe when you put it that way 
i think qi seasoned seafoam + master enchantment makes up for not using deluxe bait
yeah then targeted bait is deff better since it's 100% effective according to wiki
give me that tomato salt we gave him for that pirate quest lol
TRUE
lol
i need that spicy marinara STAT....
naurrr i got a thing saying there was fish frenzy down at the beach AND I CANT EVEN GET THERE-
repairing the beach bridge isnt too hard
ik ik, i only just started on this game tho
i had that happen before i could repair the bridge in my newest save too. it sucks, but normally there's multiple in a season (from my experience)
chillin 
beach farm?
Dude this update went wild with the Joja Refrences ngl
I did not expect there to be a way to "buy" perfection.
honestly now that is added i cant imagine it without lmao, buying walnuts was soooo nice
Yup!
Carrying over hundreds of DRS from Spring to Summer via coffee beans, and then getting rid of the coffee in under an hour with the power of explosives
This was just a test run, I'll probably pick better tiles to plant the bombs in the real run
i mean its pretty infeasible for actually playing the game lmao
around a stack of explosive ammo used
if you want i can link my run but it features a lot of pausing
i pause a lot in the SC anyways so im sure i'll be fine
pause at least once per shot, along with a pause for every floor entry
and other random pauses
what's the reasoning for pausing after shots?
also, are you only using explosive ammo or are you also using bombs?
mostly ammo
pretty unlikely that you wont find a ladder in the time it takes for a bomb to go off
if it takes too long there's probably a freebie on the floor
pausing after shots is basically just to orient myself
honestly i dont even know how i do hammer specials its jsut muacle memory
you can use alternative click buttons like x for a better effect i think
combat is one of the things i am worst at when it comes to these runs tbh
did i really just spend 200k on the catalogue just to find out i can buy it for 1k at the desert festival
1k calico eggs
Different Much harder currency ‘nd no guarantee the vendor of it will b there.
desert festival currency
me on my way to trade in my monster compendium to the bookseller
sees grapes and gets off horse to pick up grape
is holding monster compendium
goes to get back on horse, accidentally reads the monster compendium

Mood
any recs on what animal to give a golden animal cracker to?
Rabbit for friendship, sheep if shepherd prof, ostrich, any good profitable animal
I give my golden cracker to my only void chicken so it produces egg for Krobus
I personally gave them to chickens for my mayonnaise empire 😂
the grapes are evil
ive just been hoarding these golden crackers, idk if i'll have a use for them later.
See the only reason why I don’t hoard the golden crackers is because I don’t wanna store them
I have chests for everything and it belongs to none of those categories
I put them in a “special” chest cause they really don’t fit anywhere else
What do you guys do with wool?
I usually turn silver and regular quality ones into cloth but I'm not sure if what I'm doing is "right"
I turn it into cloth too, don’t think there’s anything else you can do with it, but don’t take my word for it
I turn normal wool into cloth
I sell all quality wool.
Ohh thank you both! 
you're telling me you don't have the "idk what the fuck to do with this" chest??
That’s a better name for it ngl
if you have the artisan profession, turning wool into cloth is always more profitable
honestly i'd argue it's always worth turning into cloth. The only time that selling the wool is more profitable is gold quality, but it still has a 50% chance to double cloth and if it does, you make profit
Quality cloth is a good gift for Emily though, that's what i've been doing with my gold quality wool
Very insightful, thank you!

You mean iridium?

i cant believe that wool is the only process which you get more of the process item at a higher quality
seed makers dont count...
but they should add this mechanic to all other processing machines!!! this will not worsen the state of stardew's game balance
you mean like double mayo?
something like that
Oil makers 0:
Although if it were realistic then that prob wouldn’t be affected lol
Or at least truffles wouldn’t be
DEFINITELY!
also i've noticed something weird, when i reload days, the calico statue result is not the same
it instead continues on from the previous
but this resets when i fully close the game
if i have a max luck day, do i go to farm cindershard or to farm iridium ?
iridium
i'm having a hard time making money early game. any tips?
Fishing
where is the best place to fish in summer
Ocean
thank you
Yes it will, it will further widen the disparity between processed and raw goods strategies
yeah i was doing sarcasm
no, iridium is 100% guaranteed to produce 2 cloth. Gold is 50%, silver is 10%
OMG
Lucky charms
we leprechauning with this one 🔥
Love the 🌈
I just did day one of the desert festival yday and I’m obsessed
i keep needing to go to this but i forget everytime🫠
Note to self:
Never use the treasure totem in winter
😭
Woah yeah I did not even think about that
I definitely should make the same note
It sure If this is new so I'll say it here
I went to drop off a gift for Clint anyhow Clint said to me I heard Emily has a friend in the desert I wonder if she's single .... Dude drop it (coz I remember one heart event Clint and Emily went on a date I think it ended badly ? Anyhow) yup creepy Clint
3 heart event
It didn't end badly
Emily accepted and they hung out
We don't really know what happened after
I normally skip his ha I don't care for Clint
i’ll also usually take bunch of stone and stairs in case i need a quick getaway
I'd just spam 100 staircases tbh but
I'd at least bring a few stairs if you have them to get out of monster heavy levels
hmm, aight
it dont seems to be THAT bad, one slime deals 5 dmg
i should be good
prolly get more healing foods
unless my hubris get to me
just like cheap food you can get easily that does good energy and hp
i brought 8 purple mushroom iridium quality with me instead of 4 life elixir
it heals max health AND energy
yeah thats probably good
yep i am gucci, 20 floors no significant health lost
yea you are right, i need to bring stairs
floors arent hard, but infested floors are incredibly time consooming
wut da hell, the pigs littered around my barn
theyre truffles, theyre profitable af 😌
upgrading to big chests feels so great 
I’m so grateful those were added to the game
I would never let my animals free roam they just get in the way lmao
what is that green node
Radioactive ore!
Lava caverns?...But...I havent even unlocked Ginger Island
Better to ask in here jic. Plus they have 1.6 items in their inventory
Ohhh that’s 1.6 right?
Or am I gaslighting myself
This is probably for the lava section of the local caves, hence the "in the deep lava caverns OF the local mine"
or did I have dementia and forgor
dementia
They're pretty common
I heard somewhere that SC purple slimes are also classified as the same enemy, so you can complete this quest there if it's true
80+ in normal mines
pretty common as gigafreak said, there are some levels where enemies spawn fast & you can just go up and down on the elevator
i believe i've done that with 95 but with slimes i guess it doesnt matter
Would a star drop tea or an iridium-loved item for a birthday gift give me more hearts?
False dichotomy, you can give both on the same day
I believe the loved iridium item should win though
Ok Tysm
Damn that’s crazy pace
Dis you use any staircases?
Those look cute
...Huh?
Someone spreading the age-old "quality gets you more seeds!!!!1" bullshit lie again?
is void mayo sells more than regular mayo?
Not more than gold quality mayo, which makes regular chickens more profitable
I can't see the rest of your books so I can't be certain, but maybe it's the Book of Mysteries?
thx
Can drop from Artifact Troves. Items classified as Artifacts (such as raw Dino Eggs but not Dino Mayonnaise) will sell for 3× as much.
oh hello
I used to be excited about the fairy until it ruined my crop schedule
yeah, just a slight discomfort
Its like the fairy saw my planning and decided to ruin it😭
you know, i feel better prepared for SC in this outfit
thanks emily
just me, my hat, and my frog
and my enchanted weapon
and some magic rings
2nd green rain, lets go
Moss and fiber brrrrt
oooo ty!
I will need money to buy perfection so any mod helping my artisan dreams 😄
perfect timing too, I'm low on fibers
Fiber very important
I need fiber due to archeology mod
Sifting ore from water needs fiber
I love how cutely they swim
I have them for vibes
how do i get them swim? . - '
I mean my coop is beside the big ass pond (I picked forest farm)
Still have to go to the shop
But Marnie doesn't have to tend to it
oh opps
Robin first then
I wish spouse could do more stuffs
Quack
As of rn they sometimes tend our stuffs
Like feeding the animals or watering the crops
I would love them to bring a 36 slots of items from SC 😄
but then again, they do it once every couple of days
Force them to dwell into the cave and watch them return battered and broken
mods:
I tried looking of em, some of em are not compatible
piss
o-okkkk
and a very few of them are..."Questionable"....
Not that I condone this, no no, I just wish they'd handle the farm a bit more efficient
cuz as of rn they only do 1 or 2 things ever several days
Let say like, they harvest a few of your crops or animal products then they'll hand it to you when you interact with them
sooo....junimos but better? essentially
Yes
Emily: I watered your crops :3
Me, already installed iridium sprinklers on every bit of land: ....Bruh...
.....bruh...
Spouse: "I repaired fence"
Farmer: has golden clock
:")
I need more iridium sprinklers
I need my spouse to constantly water the pets
Thing is batteries is very hard to come by
||krobus shop fridays for iridium sprinkler
||
Oh all mighty Yoba, please give me lighting strikes...But please don't smite the mushroom trees and tapped trees
Ah, embed fail


gg 
Me with 460 mystic syrup hoarded to be sold
fairy dust?
I have 20M in my pocket (baby number to buy perfection)
And I have tons of things to sell 😄
heavy tapper, automate
Also mushroom logs among the trees
Banhammer incomin’ probably.
i hate to ask bc i know its been asked several times but has there been a recent update from concernedape giving more info on the 1.6 update for consoles?
Does mossy seed give moss when tree is fully grown
wait, i can't place Junimo hut on the Tropical island?
Nope
Only on the main farm
Any updates are posted to #bulletin-board , but there hasn't been anything recently
alright, thank you 
@austere hornet You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
oh yay
Cowgrats
Hooray!!!
And that's why nobody (sane) grows Hops on it 
‘Scuse you I’m semi-sane.
My Hops setup on GI was only 8 of ‘em round a Quality Sprinkler.
finally, 1 million big ones, i have finally achieved the goal of connecting the farm to the island
nau
i seem to have misread my own message and interpreted it as just producing multiple things
wait, NOOO, i forgot it also took 30 bananas and 10 dragon tooth
Is there any news on the Xbox version update for Stardew?
Nope
that's funny - i haven't been talking to elliot or visiting him much 'cause i've seen all his scenes in previous saves and don't particularly like him, but the completionist in my heart means i throw lobster at him on the regular anyway.
Now i've got a letter in the mail about a book reading, but i've never even had a scene with elliot about him being a writer so it's straight outta left field
my farmer's just here at the mailbox "You'll be reading your <WHAT>?"
I've seen all his scenes in previous saves
I've never even had a scene with elliot about him being a writer
what
It shouldn't be "straight outta left field" if you already saw it before isn't it
from my farmer's perspective it is
honestly didn't expect it'd progress to that scene without the others from my perspective, either
a bit late for that buddy... I already reached mastery 1
hah, you sequence broke it
i think mining mastery may be overpowered
It's great but not op
+1 ore blessing is around 30% more iridium i think
with heavy furnace that's a bit OP imo
I should be able to get two free mini-shipping bins per save right?
2 “Free” ones yeah
and you can get them from mr qi
i dispise you
huh?
Yeah, but I don’t want to spend gems on those yet 😅
hello, can monster musk only be acquired through the bookseller? i think i was able to have many in my last save but that was in ver 1.5 and it was already a while so i forgot...
Yeah with the 3 Monster Compendium books for exchange
how many ostriches should i have
i have 1 ostrich 3 cows 1 sheep and a goat
and 2 pigs
i was thinking of adding another sheep another pig and another ostrich
I think I heard ostriches out-earn cows... if profit is your goal, then ostriches would take priority over cows
If you have Shepherd, Sheep are kings
k thanks
sorry, i mean if there are other ways to like craft it or buy somewhere
you get the recipe from the wizard after completing a special orders quest from him
when you get the prismatic jelly special order quest
oh, that one? the only quest that i failed to do😂 i had qi's go to lvl100 of the mine within a week quest so i thought the prismatic slime wouldn't show up in the mines, and i had to go to ginger island, highlands, and skull cavern but found none
the prismatic slime can appear in other places aside from the mines right?.....
they only spawn in mines, and you can spam elevator 0/5 to reset the floor each time and see if it spawns (also best to do on good luck day)
???
prismatice jelly
yeah is it only on floors 0 to 5 or am I just being stupid
no its not just those floors
im just suggesting how to farm it
ohhhh
its easier to find when you use the elevator to go to lvl 5 then back up to the top to reset the elevator
I was gonna say
that quest is on my to do list I haven't even checked the board lately
For green rain is there anything i should focus on doing during during the rain?
Or anything i should prepare?
I tend to use it to get moss and fiber
Interact with villagers
we just ignore it and go to the minesssss
Oh alright cuz i heard it has a chance of spawning once every year during summer
So seems like smth i shld take advantage of
Thanks guys
pretty sure its fixed to happen once every year
O damn
I think I and a bug in one of the other 1.6 updates before 1.6.8 because one year I got it twice in a row but no one believed me 
Hello peoples. I am finally making enough money to buy those dang catalogues.
Now to haunt the traveling cart until she gives me what I desire.
haunt her ass
they aren't all at the cart

No, but she's got one of them and it only shows up occasionally.
I shall have to stalk her until she gives up the goods.
she has a few of them 
Thank god I have Ancient fruit finally going strong in the greenhouse.
do profession changes occur before or after you sell items? if i sell my wine with artisan and change my profession to agriculturalist on the same day, will i get the effects from artisan with agriculturalist being applied the next day?
i could sell at pierre's but i want the funny numbers to go up at the end of the day
damnit, it gets applied before you sell it
why are they overhyped and downplayed?
i still use both of them for desert festival SC
To me, 20 isn’t a lot lol
That’s mid game achievable just depends how much you farm
Like I said depends how you farm, cause some people are able to get like 500 ore a run lol, but I guess that is more end game since jades take a while to farm up
You’re forgetting obelisk requirements as well
Yeah that’s prob the best to do with it first
Not disagreeing with you btw, I think it is much less useful by the time you get the recipe, I just didn’t think 20 bars was a lot to get
I did the whole "save up all of your goods for 1 year and then dump it all in the shipping bin on Winter 28 to see how much you produce in 1 year" thing and it only came out to 33,578,900g and that feels low.
A good hot take, but you're wrong
The statue of blessings definitely does not have the cheaper recipe
I don't know why you think that 999 stone, 999 fiber, 999 sap and 333 moss is cheaper than 100 iridium ore
By the time you get that amount of moss you would already have all iridium gear and iridium to spare for selling
People can get to SC summer Y1 just playing casually and know what they’re doing
That’s just … not correct, sorry
That’s cool and all but nobody gonna get masteries before the desert
It is far easier to get the 20 bars vs. all of that
20 iridium bars is literally nothing
A single SC run can get you 80
Again
This is after mastery
You’d already have iridium bars just laying around
If you know what you're doing
It's
So much more
Still about 80 give me a break
No sir 20 iridium is mid game stuff
100 iridium ore is not endgame wdym
Sure… I got that while doing my CC Y1 challenge
You can get to the desert and get far more iridium before you unlock mastery
At that point you should be making the bars
You don't even need endgame equipment for SC lmao
Just a weapon and bombs
Idk man you probably go on SC runs on a bad luck day or something
Because it is extremely easy to get 100 ore even for a casual runner
in my playthrough I had tons of iridium to spare when I got that dwarf king statue recipe, and not enough wood and moss when I got the statue of blessing recipe because I spend those a lot more.
I’m just saying I’m a pretty casual player
With good enough luck you can get iridium nodes far before 65
You guys are talking about the costs, but even still dwarf statue beats it by far because you have a ~40% chance to get extra ladders or ores, whereas the other statue has a lower chance to give anything usefull
Well I joined the convo late so I only saw someone say that getting 20 iridium bars is hard so I had to say something…
What else would you need them for
the better chance for ladders blessing is good for doing those Mr. Qi quests where you need to reach level 100 or whatever
Money if your minmaxing, less sc runs if your not
I dont think even Chipmunk can get that
@steady narwhal bet
Oh sh
Why did you do that
Now he’s gonna make me eat my shoe
By getting 200 pshards…
I challenge @chilly bloom and @stray swift too
I don’t think any player of any skill level is gonna be able to craft statue of blessing before the dwarf one lol
If they are extremely new player they’ll have issues managing resources (and probably sell all the stones, fiber and moss they found)
And any player who has played through at least 1 save would have the SC experience to get 100 iridium ore on their first run
Well, that’s why you couldn’t make it lol 💀 when did you unlock SC
How do you get 999 stone, 999 sap, 999 fiber and 333 moss in one day
You’d need like 2 green rains for that
Lol
1.6 was the first time I ever needed fiber seeds for anything so
Towards the end of the year there are more moss but at the beginning
Dear lord 3 months drought no moss in sight
If you spend the day chopping down trees you won't have much time to harvest weeds
What
Wait a second, have you played 1.6?
If ur unlocking mastery before SC I think I know what the issue is…
Oh okay I only saw a switch tag and got concerned lmao
CA
ConcernedAnaira
That was indeed my name on release day 
Ah
So we are talking about casual players, not entirely new players yes?
Damn
IM SORRY GOD FORGIVE ME
Perish
I didn’t mean to doubt your ability to get 100 prissies in one run!! Don’t curse me to not get autopetters!!!
Hi how do I make pet bowls..
Robin
You get max in all skills by late winter if your doing it right
Yea but where
Bring hardwood
Oh..
I scrolled through her house renovation, shop, building
If I have hardwood would she just make it
Hello Anaira
The world if Robin sold hardwood:
Welp yk he's gonna do that right?
Yes
Ahahahah got my wizard catalogue.
Got the wizard and joja catalogues, now all the rest to go. And I don't know how many there are right now!
It’s gonna be in construct buildings
whats the challenge
Having obtained the Joja and Wizard catalogues, I have immediately set myself to making my house look absolutely horrible.
Hundreds of pshard first SC run
first run is so arbitrary,
Well get your best gear and do your first if you must
can someone tell me if the black cat is cute
It’s cute
I’m on console so I don’t know
it's the cutest one
Agreed
Such big yellow eyes
and how much is "hundreds" anyway
Good question
Over 100
idk we were having a conversation
Okay bye guys 😎
About how 20 iridium bars is really easy to get
And it somehow turns into getting hundreds of what you want in SC in your first run is so easy you don't even need extra ladder chances
Then it turns into hundreds of pshard
yeah 400 ores is pretty standard for a first run 
400?!
Need 100 for 20 bars… probably still won’t get that first run, but I still think it’s more obtainable than 999 stone/999 sap/999 fiber/333 moss
If you know what ur doing then 400 first run is possible
At least 1 perfection playthrough should give you the experience needed to prep for SC
i mean on my 25% i managed like 1300ish ores first run but it was pretty delayed
it happened like summer 5 y1 or something
first casual player run?probably not breaking 100 ores
mainly due to lack of prep
What about if they have SC experience
I dont think we’re talking entirely new people here
Like me, who got no better other things to do and scrap that 100 ores from SC lol
depend on sc experience and prep
iridium scythe
bruh...what are the chances of getting ancient seed from seedmaker?...
0.5%

feels weird getting this thing before the golden one, but I'm not complaining
oh right I should also probably make the statue
nvm not enough fiber
farm lvl 25 for fiber also some of the deep lava lvls have it to
🙂 so i have used 3 of my galaxy souls to get the infinity blade and i have 6 more what should i use them for?
dont have any of those i will get them
nice thank you
do you guys think mystic syrup farming for fairy dust is worth it ?
what do you want to use fairy dust for
You make a loss of profit
It's better to sell the mystic syrup straight up
At least I believe so
what is the best masterie to do first ?
whichever one you like the most
the best is different for everyone
i cant tell someone that loves fishing to take the mining mastery
Raccoon shop
this is the most expensive wine in the game
starfruit wine
yes, it is traded in the raccoon shop
Yeah you make a loss of profit because you're trading something worth 1k for only a ~800g profit every level
for the first 3 qualities you will lose gold
really ? i thought it was ancient fruit wine
Oh truee if you're only using it gold > iridium you'll save money
and time
if you use it the first day for iridium wine you are essentially spending 72g per day
ancient fruit is a little cheaper than starfruit but its considered a best because it is a regrowable crop once every 7 days
i see !
Yeah as a crop af is the best, as wine sf is the best kinda
i was planning on using fairy dust to turn gold af wine to iridium but i'm not sure if doing a mystic syrup farming route would be efficient for that
eh
It's cheaper than crafting
what about using it on wine
cheaper yes but not as easy
And you still make a profit of ~200g speeding it up
3125 gold if you speed up starfruit wine vs 1000 gold from selling the syrup
the math aint mathing
3150g***
unless it's multiple syrup for the dust? i'm gonna look it up
yeah nope, it's 1 syrup for 1 fairy dust
you straight up make 2150 more gold from using it on a starfruit keg
and with the heavy tapper, does the mystic syrup multiply ?
No it's just faster I believe
Bringing starfruit wine from gold to iridium is 4725G to 6300G, a difference of 1575G
So if you subtract 1000G for the syrup, that's a 575G profit
...Or a 75G profit if you swapped to Tapper
no way are you waiting 21 days to get gold quality wine 💀
21? What?
Gold wine is 2___8___
oh you can tell i don't age wine often lol, that makes it worse
i see, i see
Casks are disappointing even with fairy dust 
That only helps if you don't have enough kegs for all your starfruit, in which case in the long run it's better to be using the fairy dust on tappers on oak trees for getting more kegs
honestly, i didn't really like casks to begin with, i just didn't have enough info if it was genuinely a good source of income or not
They're not great. Not even the best thing you can do with the space in the cellar
that's why i was thinking if it could maybe be better if fairy dust was in the picture since mystic syrup can be traded in to get fairy dust in the update
The 1000G sell value really hampers its use for that
ok if you can fit 125 kegs in the cellar to turn normal wine into iridium thats 375 syrup or 375,000 potential gold.
if you just wait the 56 days to get iridium star fruit wine you get 787,500g+375,000 for a total of 1,162,500g
or you can spend 375,000g to get 412,500g instantly.
1500 with Tapper, which is now a reasonable thing to have.
Mystic trees work great with shroom logs, which don't respond to Botanist
gotcha !
So you'd jar or dehydrate the shrooms instead
if casks aren't worth it, should i just fill my cellar with kegs instead ?
You can. Or garden pots
Hops are theoretically best but will drive you mad. Pineapples are "we have Ancient Fruit at home" (since AF can't be potted)
Dx Retaining Soil means not needing to water them ever, regrowing means no need to replant, 7day regrow lines up with kegs
Two tiles spent on a potted pineapple and keg, get more money from the wine than two casks aging the most expensive wine (starfruit)
Even better if you can keg offsite (and don't mind vandalizing the overworld)
once you have your kegs and harvests synced, casks are an item that gives you a harvest worth double your usual harvests every 56 days
wait, dx retaining soil on pots removes the need to water them ever ? that's actually pretty cool
What do you mean by more than double
well if you sell wine without aging it its base quality
iridium is worth 2.25x base?
No. 2.0
ah my bad
Therefore it adds 100% value to the wine, thereby being equivalent to producing one extra bottle of wine in half a year.
Two extra bottles per year ain't great
Nowadays with the Iridium Scythe, we can even pack garden pots more densely
extra harvests*
thats assuming you only have 125 plants and kegs
this is taking me forever for my sleep deprived brain to figure out the different scenarios. is this correct?
- first one is you place 125 wine into casks and use 375 syrup on them
- second scenario you place 125 wine into casks and then wait 56 days to age AND keep the 375 syrup
- third scenario is ???
I assume nothing. This is a per-tile basis with an unlimited scalable case. If every shed could cask, I still wouldn't want casks, because potted pineapples still make better money
-
is a calculation of how much syrup you spend
-
is the total money you make if you use the syrup instead of selling it.
(since we are using the syrup we subtract its value from the total cost of the iridium wine for the net profit)
use the syrup on what?
Syrup to fairy dust presumably
yes lol
oh you're still going from gold quality wine to iridium quality
oh, i was asking gold to iridium earlier
if it's worth it or will i be wasting mystic syrup on that
you are still spending 125,000g to save 2 weeks
oh ok
gotcha, gotcha
Two casks aging Starfruit wine
3 syrup to go from base to iridium immediately: +3150G to the wine value, -3000G opportunity cost of not selling syrup. (-4500G if you have Tapper)
Wait 56 days: +3150G to wine value, no syrup expended
Wait 28 days and then use one fairy dust: +3150G to wine value, -1000G (or 1500G with tapper) for syrup value
It is """better""" but the cost of the syrup still seriously hurts the benefit
Tapper will almost exactly cancel the benefit of gold to iridium
you're so smart
Tapper also means triple dusting is negative money
so in this case you're using 375 fairy dust for 125 iridium quality wine, but there's the alternative of using all that fairy dust for 375 starfruit wine instead which was my original suggestion
my calculations were done with starfruit wine
which means 1181250g rather than 400k
i'm talking about using the fairy dust on kegs, not casks
Tbh the alternative to fairydusting a keg is dehydrating rather than selling raw
Dehydrators work on 5 fruit in one night
you're so smart
-ass
lmao i like how it's my first day here and already made a whole argument / discussion on my idea 😭
true, true
A single dehydrated Starfruit is worth 1582G with Artisan.
Starfruit Wine is 3150 with same.
The difference is 1538G. Subtract 1000G again for the syrup (or 1500G with Tapper) and oof.
Think I'd rather just wait the night and sell the syrup
ok but what if we talked about it in a limited space
Dehydrators thrive in limited spaces
One dehydrator can service 45 tiles of starfruit
so basically, it's better if i sell the mystic syrup instead, yes ?
I would.
if you dont need it for crafting sure
i like turning it into blue grass starters and then scything it ||/j||
It's also way less clicking.
understandable, thank you
so if you have 46 tiles.
what would the profit difference be between:
using those tiles for 45 start fruit and 1 DH
vs
balancing the numbers between starfruit and kegs
does tiller affect the base price of a crop when it coems to calculating dehydrator prices?
starfruit is 750g or 825g with tiller
im pretty sure base price is the absolute base
7910G per day with 45 SF and 1 dehydrator
8050G per day with 23 SF and 23 kegs
You can see that the tighter your space restrictions get, the closer they get to keg money.
What do you mean?
Doesn't matter what the quality is
No, base price
That is correct
alright
Oh chat jump
how much money do you get from selling dehydrated mushrooms + mystic syrup? assuming purple mushroom logs
About half the shrooms will be purple, IIRC?
oh and heavy tappers i guess
Could jar them instead, but the quantity will quickly become a problem, so let's stick with dehydrators...
thats a very complicated answer
btw is jarring mushrooms a new 1.6 thing
i can link a video that goes into how to setup the trees and shroom logs for maximum profit
i'd try to help figure it out but i'm soo tired 😅
forageables yes
mmmm pickled shrooms
Let's see, the optimal grid is... Four trees and six shroom logs and six empty walking spaces per 4×4 grid tiles
i think this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3VRj6WaX8U
So a 4×4 grid will produce 4 syrup in 4 days, and 30 shrooms. About 60% of the shrooms (~18) will be purple, and let's say the other 12 are common because the math is complicated enough already...
thats the one lmao
the number of mushrooms you get from a log is # of trees/2 rounded down with a max 5 mushrooms
Common shroom is 40G
Purple shroom is 250G
Syrup is 1000G (1500G with tapper)
Dried common shrooms are 89G per shroom
Dried purple shrooms are 530G per shroom
12×89 + 530×18 + 4000 (or 6000 instead with Tapper)
14k to 16k, per 4 days, per 4×4 grid
Also requires a dehydrator and a half.
omg...I just found out
You can use bombs to break the crab's shell and they'll be completely vulnurable
i wanna see a graph with that data
uh that's just the formula for figuring how many mushrooms you get based on the # of trees in range
TLDR if there are 10+ trees in range, you get 5 shrooms
you have to water them once

who is bro
he's the guy, you don't know him, but he knows what you need 😎 for a price
Main character vibes
what
if you pay him with some calico eggs he can rig the hourly race that you can bet on by making one of the contesters perform poorly
If the snail is one of the racers, don't bet on it (it's a snail, it sucks)
So you can bet on one of the others and pay Mr. Shades to sabotage the third, for a very high chance to win
It is still possible for the snail, or a sabotaged racer, to win. Just improbable
is bookseller the only way i can sell my books?
I think you can just put them in the shipping bin but you can trade with the bookseller
okay ty
Ofc
You can indeed also sell the books to him but I'd probably prefer the items... or to give them as gifts
Slime hutch have some limit about how many slimes you can have there?
20
Is this good for the Luau?
I'd bet, yeah
an iridium super cucumber is actually already good enough, I just smoked it for no reason
quite an overkill you might say
i was gonna say.... LMAO
Extra flavour 
imma make the Governor pass out
bruh...i literally just smoked one and tossed into a soup
He heard about it and is spreading the word 
That soup caused a memory reset to the world

It's a bit chaotic out here in my farm, don't mind it for now
Just Spring Y2
when can I use is?
Once you've completed QI's quest "skull cavern invasion" I believe
After completing the SC Hard Mode quest from Mr Qi in the late game
and when is dat
Hey guys, racoon guy wont take my smoked chub. I don't have the clams he asked for yet but I do have the smoked chub (my smoked chub looks a bit difderent from his but I don't think there's any other way to smoke a fish). Anyone can tell me why?
must i gain access to ginger island
After the community center and after most of Ginger Island yes
smoked flounder
Photo of his request?
5 snails and a smoked flounder
It's different for each player/season
Can you send a photo of the fish you smoked?
o
Different possible quest
Ok 1 min
Is it also possible that the season changed over in between his request popping up and the current date
send in #images-and-memes
What about yours
That looks right
Uh
OHHHH
What the f...?
Okay!
That’s
What is that!
Looks like a reskinned Baked Fish
Bro that looks like baked fish
Are you using mods?
I made it on the smoker
You what
Well thats what came out of the smoker😭
How tf did that come out of your smoker 😭
This is some weird ass mod
Okay wait are you using mods?
instructions unclear, made a 5 star gourmet dish instead of a smoked fish
Yes it's modded but I don't think any of my mods have the ability to influence the smoker???
Okayyyyy
instructions unclear, accidentally morphed into gordon ramsay. its morbin' time.
Strongly suspect the mod that reskins your smoked fish is breaking it
!log please follow these instructions and leave your log in #archived-modded-support and we'll help you there
Important note: Your computer username may appear in the log. If your username is your full name, please be aware of this before uploading it.
Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:
- Open this page: smapi.io/log.
- Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
- After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.
Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc. If the issue didn’t occur in your last session, please load the game to the point where the issue occurs, then upload the log.
I'd say you probably have to delete whatever mod reskins/changes the smoked fish
Maybe the game just doesn’t recognize the smoked fish with a different texture cuz the mod doesn’t change the coding for the raccoons
It shouldn't work like that but
Yes please
If it was just a reskin, the raccoon request would have looked like a baked fish too
It’s odd cuz the item id would be the same
The mod is straightup making the smoker produce a different item
Yeah
With the name of smoked chub
Changing the image of an item should change it across all events
lmao their smoker is so advanced it made a gourmet dish 
And either way it should count as the same item to the game
How do you even put a chub into a smoker and get a baked fish out without changing its item id too
Not to mention it’s named smoked chub
It would have to have created a whole ass new item
That description isn't even the original one for Smoked Fish, is it
Ok I've post my log please go take a look at it
No it’s baked fish
And somehow the mod author has forgotten to change the item in the racoon shop to the same item
I don't want this gourmet mess😭
IIRC it was just "(Fishname), smoked to perfection"
Oh, not even the fish name
Amused that the generic icon is a carp but the wiki's own generic fish icon is a sunfish
I thought maybe he only wants to accept my gifts after I'm done collecting them💀
Your mods are sabotaging you 
I'm pretty sure it is A whole [fish name], smoked to perfection and the wiki's just not clear on that
unless that's an SVE thing which would be weird
Ik🥲 I checked my log and updated the needful. I, however, will return if my smoker continues to produce fancy ass dishes
that's not why you were asked to upload log, we wanted to see which mod is affecting the smoker so you could temporarily disable it
even if its updated/not showing errors itll still pull from that
It's probably one of the fish/artisan mods, but none of them mention the smoker as far as I can see
Yes I already posted my log here😄 #archived-modded-support
And I can't read the raw log properly
apologies, thanks
Let me just take a pic of my smoker
Ok so I can delete that. Thank you❤️
Yeah but that shouldn't be causing baked fish to come out of a fish smoker 
you're welcome! do ping me if it doesn't continue to work
My smoker.
Because that is NOT a vanilla smoker
It could be a reskin
But I think it might be from your artisan machine mod
do your fish look like this after smoking?
just please uninstall PPJA and let me know if it works
Yep
It's worse
Theirs look like this
We are very confused as to how this happened
Nope it looks like baked fish
yeah thats a mod
On it!
We're aware
thank you 
And it looks like this before craftjng and came out like that
yeah thats right
What kind of mod fucked up your game so much that they didn't keep the same item ID between their new smoked chub and the racoon one 
What
anything PPJA, yes
I just want to male sure I'm not fucking it up further
All the PPJA ones are out of date yes
#archived-modded-support is also better to discuss this further @median yew
