Nah it’s better to just plant the parsnip seeds
quasi patio
So spend the 500 g on parsnips and then use your hoe to hoe area to plant those parsnip that takes about 4-6 days then once those are fully grown sell them to Perrie and buy some potatoes seed grow em then use that to sell then use that money to buy strawberries to get you started for summer—you will eventually save up some funds for other things but if you’re looking to make some quick bucks you can start there first —hopefully this make sense
gaunt gale
And yeah that box can sell to any vendor without having to go there

mystic burrow
The most you can lose is 1k
cedar briar
well if you have no money when dying you wont lose money but you will lose items so you will lose items and now im confused

If I die to an enemy it takes more and I lose 2 items, I reset one if my days cause I couldn't deal with that

Unless there are messed up mods for that
there are
there's a mod that lets you send npcs to the hospital

I don’t hate any of them that much
Except for the player made kids because they literally don’t do anything but that’s my opinion
But you can technically already kill them

Sending your own kids to the hospital sounds great

How much gold you have?
Can get fish ponds, that’s what I make money with in winter
mystic rover
Like around 15k rn but my pumpkins are gonna be ready very soon and I have all the kegs I need
Wait fishing pond requires me to prepare stuff before winter right?

And it costs 5k to make. The fish you want is lava eel
I recommend using wild bait so you have a chance to catch multiple and save you hassle for more fish ponds

What are you taking for your level 10 prof???

What are you taking for your level 10 prof???
Idk yet
magic frigate
Cause if you’re already miner profession and close to level 10, then you could actually farm mines in winter with blacksmith and smelt the ores into bars as a way to make money, while also simultaneously farming prismatic shard
mystic rover
Probably prospector cuz I want preserves

Pro tip: If you plant all your strawberry seeds, provided you can water all of them, you can save some of the strawberries to run through a seedmaker where you have a very good chance of getting more than one seed from it, thereby saving you some coin, and maybe making a bit more profit.

Me and my sister used to play Stardew Valley on my main save file. I eventually stopped playing because there wasn't much more to achieve as I had spent around 200 hours on my farm. Recently I have revisited my save file but for some reason, my sister is unable to join:. She can join on other worlds of mine but for some reason, she can't join my main world.
We have both tried re-installing the game and I have multiple cabins one of which is her fully upgraded house with children. If anyone has any advice it would help a lot as I really enjoy this game and Multiplayer allows me to enjoy it even more.

The season is from Spring 15 to 18. Go out every day and scour each map but the beach for all the salmonberries you can find. They are NOT for selling; they're pretty worthless. But they do make a good early-game food source that will keep you energized and healthy for weeks if not months, until you can get better food sources.

It's just building another. Your spouse will "mend" your fences for you sometimes.
Stay away from regular wood fences. They break too often and won't even last through the growing season. Make stone fences, which will last 1 year, and you can redo them in Winter when you'll be redoing your farm anyway.
Here's the list of fences and how long they last:
