Usually I try to get the tea plant recipe as early as possible to replace all my fences with tea plants. Main reason: they do not decay like wood or stone fences and they give you some extra money on top of it when you harvest them. They also look nice. :)
That is a good idea about the tea plants. I don't worry about my fences though as I always make hardwood ones and then marry Emily. She fixes them for me whenever they start to decay. (I am guessing all spouses probably do that too. No idea if Krobus does though.)
@@boudicathebrave it’s odd that it won’t let you do that. you should try again. if it doesn’t work, there are a few things you can put there to utilize the space. what id do is pop in some lightning rods, but there are also garden pots, machines (such kegs and oil makers), and scarecrows. you can also put decorative items in those spaces if you don’t want to utilize them.
i just pop em on fences lol honestly tho, i hate the way fertilizer works cause multi harvest crops only benefit the first item, like blueberries pick in 3s and only the first berry is affected (subsequent harvests and regrows get no benefit), i just use speedgrow on ancient and starfruit to get them up faster.
@@Nox_Lunatera actually all harvests of the multi harvest crops are benefitted by the quality fertilizers, while for the speed gro it's only the first one :)
Never put driftwood into the recycler! Put it into the wood chipper as you will get a lot more wood that way (5-9 wood in the wood chipper vs 1-3 wood in the recycler)!
@@cookiesareakatherinefood you can get the wood chipper on the 1st day of winter too! i happened to go to her shop that day and bought one and then got the letter about it the next day haha
A fun fact with mixed seeds is if you plant them in the greenhouse during winter they turn into any plant from the other seasons (that the mixed seed can turn into that is so you won't get stuff like ancient seeds or rare seeds) so if you need a specific plant for somthing and you missed the season you can just do that
One really nice thing about Fiber Seeds: They stay across Seasons, and their plots stay tilled after harvesting. So if you don't want to re-fertilize your plots in Spring, harvest and clear-cut on Fall 28 (or whatever your last Fall Harvest day will be), and sow the entire field with Fiber Seeds. You can leave them in the ground , or harvest and reseed if you need Fiber. As long as you do that, a swipe of a scythe gives you a ready-to-go plot on the early morning on Spring 1. Sure Winter Seeds are more profitable, and build Foraging, but they also have a chance of untilling the plot you plant them on, and they all vanish on Spring 1, usually un-tilling almost your entire field.
@@branllyr240 I believe it probably would. That's a good idea. Haven't tried it myself, as I haven't yet played the Beach Farm, and have only personally tried it with Deluxe Fertilizer.
@@genogrinberg6014 The main benefit in using fiber seeds is _time_ , though. Normally on Spring 1, to get peak production, you have to hoe the entire field, plant the entire field, and fertilize the entire field, which will eat up large portions of the day, depending on how big a field you're tending. Using fiber seeds as a placeholder means that as long as you got them in the ground before the last week of Winter, you won't have to re-hoe or re-fertilize anything on Spring 1, and even if you didn't manage to do it in Fall before all your plants and fertilizer vanished, you have _the entire first three weeks of Winter_ to prep your field at whatever pace you feel like, and lock it in with Fiber Seeds for Spring 1.
I believe whether a rabbit foot is dropped depends on the daily luck which can be checked on the TV. The higher the daily luck the more likely the wool drop will be replaced with a rabbit's foot. This also applies to duck feathers.
@@christinahopeful Be careful, because I’m pretty sure Emily hates rabbit’s feet, probably because she doesn’t like seeing a piece of a dead animal as a gift?
As I was transcribing your Sashimi graphic into my Stardew Valley reference notebook, I noticed that it includes shrimp, snails, periwinkle and mussles. You did mention briefly that some of these can be used in good recipes and I wanted to follow up on that. I personally set shrimp aside to make Shrimp Cocktail which gives you a buff of +1 fishing and +1 luck for 10 minutes. Snails can be turned into Escargot which will give you +2 fishing for 16 minutes (or given as a loved gift to Vincent). Periwinkle and mussel are ingredients in Fish Stew which gives +3 fishing for 16 minutes. Additionally, some of these cheaper fish are requested by more valuable fish in fish pond quests so I would suggest keeping at least some of them aside in a chest instead of turning them all into sashimi.
Don't forget that you can also trade bone fragments for taro seeds to grow on ginger island. Taro roots are used in recipes and can be traded for other stuff at the island trader.
Taro roots can also be requested by Caroline as one of her Special Orders. So trading those bone fragments can help you amass the 100 taro seeds needed.
Also on the topic of trash, driftwood is a liked gift for Leah, it lets you turn trash into friendship points very early in the game so it's even more valuable in my opinion!
I didn't know this! Thank you! Leah was one of the villagers I never could get a high relationship with, as she always seems pretty elusive, and our schedules didn't mesh. lol
I like to place my beehouses in such a formation that the flower in the middle is unreachable, so that I don't pluck it accidently while collecting honey. I use deluxe retaining soil to keep the flower watered.
@@kofisadmirer nope! Just make sure you you don’t accidentally harvest them. I’ve been using Fairy roses in ginger island because season never changes.
Tailoring: if you don't like the way your current shoes look, but really want the buffs, you can use the sewing machine to transfer the buffs into a pair of footwear that you like. Be advised, however, that it will use up the old shoes.
A tip for coal shortages: in the regular mines, go to level 55 and farm the little coal monsters, once you get to ~level 60, exit the mines and rinse and repeat. Even better, if I remember correctly killing 500 of those same coal monsters will get you the monster eradication goal and you'll get the Burglar Ring, which greatly increases monster drops, so even more coal!
Take the hoe with you and dig out cave carrots. The blue slimes drop a winter root vegetable and you can combine them with the cave carrots at the stove to make root dish which gives a bonus to your attack. It's not the best food in the game but it's nice to take about 50 of them with you to the caverns
@@stevdor6146 That's not "Mandela Effect", they're actually called dust sprites, always have lol I even tried to google search for them to make sure, only dust sprites show up as a result. I think you're confusing the name with void spirits.
Request: The monsters known as Dusk Spirits are throwing the elemental balance into disarray. I would like an adventurer to enter the mines and slay 3 of these beasts. -M. Rasmodius, Wizard -120g reward
The cheap regular fertiliser made from 2 sap is great for year 1. You can easily make enough to put it on everything you grow, and the extra gold star produce is so helpful for early game cash, completing the community centre and winning the grange display.
Planting tea plants around a junimo hut is a game changer. I have them in my house but I ALWAYS forget to harvest them, too busy with other stuff at the end of the season!
I find that the trash ends up being more useful from crab pots for people like me who don't care to make money from fishing whatsoever. Endless coal, small bits of ore, the occasional cloth, an endless supply of torches, but especially CDs and broken glasses for refined quartz early game is just plain good. The last one tides me over until I can get a crystalarium going with fire quartz for massive solar farms and garden pot greenhouses late game. Also, save the driftwood from recycling. Leah likes it, plus it gives more wood being pushed through the chipper that Robin sells (8-9 instead of 1-3)
I think you should make a video about the best outfit combinations that can be sew in the sewing machine, it would be really useful for people like me that loves to make the character aesthetically good! I love all your videos! Please never stop, all your guides are amazing~
Fun tip, if you put a dyeable clothing item in the sewing machine with a rainbow Shell you'll be able to recolor it using HSB sliders like you can with your pants when you first make a character!
ayyy finally some recognition for recycling machines B) I had no idea about mixed seeds on Ginger Island! for some reason I thought it would randomize seeds from the mainland bunch. even after many years of playing you can learn something new, I guess 😅
When I first played stardew valley I didn’t know that you could use quarts to make refined quarts. Broken glasses, broken CDs, and the recycling machine saved my life
Endgame tip, if youre sick of hoeing large quantities of tiles at the beginning of spring for ancient seeds like me, you can plant the fiber seeds in winter and leave them there. Then come spring, just scythe them all, then you dont have to hoe the ground. Saves tones of time, cuz you need to plant the ancient seeds asap
I don't know what it is about your content, specifically, but watching your videos is like having a chill conversation about one of my favorite games. I love how informative, yet laid back you seem! You're definitely underrated in the youtube community!
It's worth noting that after building a slime hutch all slime will have a chance to drop a slime egg. This chance only triggers after the hutch is made.
I often forget you have such little recognition compared to other stardew valley youtubers. Especially considering your incredible content, enthusiasm, and overall quality! I hope someday I’ll see you grow bigger than you already are!
Most sdv youtubers aren't actually that big, even unsurpassable Z which hosted the Stardew Valley Cup is only sitting on 30k. I hope that the whole Stardew community on UA-cam gets the recognition it deserves one day!
It's funny how I see so many people say that Foraging is one of the last (if not the last) sill to max out, and it was my first one in my main save (my final one were combat and fishing, and fish was the very last, only got level 10 in year 4)
Same, it's always the first one I max out! And once I do, I go wild during the berry seasons and just have hundreds of iridium berries to eat and give as gifts lol. Not the optimal gift or food, but very easy to amass a ton for free, so I usually stick with them out of laziness. :) For something better, cactus fruit from the desert and purple mushrooms in the mines are great free food options when they're all iridium!
Foraging is the first one I usually max out. Most of the time, I can get level 4 foraging before Spring 15 for the salmonberries and level 8 before Fall 8 for the blackberries. Just plant the wild seeds that you get in the community center bundle for this effect and if you plant 30 or more for three weeks, you get a lot of extra money as well as a huge boost in foraging skill.
@@david2869 Exactly. One of the first things I do with a new farm after planting my first field is go searching for the wild foragables. If you can get to level 1 foraging by day 1 (very easy if you cut trees all the first day), and find what you need on day 2, you can have your first batch of wild plants ready by day 9. Finding more during the first week to turn in when the CC is unlocked gets you the free 30 seeds and you are ready to plant! I always try to get at least 1 harvest of wild produce every week. The amount of skill and cash it brings in is totally worth the energy.
@@diana35395 Me too, during the frist couple of years, I spend those four days of berry season (salmon or blackberries) going over the whole map and picking up as many as I can. Almost everyone likes them, and they're free food when my energy bar is till small.
I saw this tip somewhere else. Get to 2 hearts with Caroline early game, plant all the spring seeds you can, then craft and sell the tea saplings for some quick cash. I tried this and made enough gold to upgrade my backpack twice in one go by selling the saplings directly to Pierre.
Yesss recognition for recycling machines! I use them to get quartz all the time, and sometimes coal cause everyone in the artisan branch can never have enough of them 😂 Super useful video!
The recycle machine is sadly level fishing, not farming. You can also get it by completing the field research bundle though, that will at least get you started
If you have a shortage of coal, you might want to put the driftwood in the wood chipper and then use the wood to make coal in that machine which I don't remember the name of
I thought the recycling machine was universal known fact. I love how much Refined Quartz you cn accumulate with those, not only for crafting but also if you have a money shortage
Another fact about tea plants? They are incredibly valuable if you just sell them. Each tea plant takes 2 wild seeds, 5 fiber, and 5 wood. A tea sapling sells for 500 gold. This means that if you can get the recipe early, you can gather up a large amount of wild seeds and craft them all into tea saplings. I was able to amass 50,000 gold before my first summer, and all that delightful wealth advanced my farm very early into the adventure.
I think Foraging is the most op skill tree in the game for the first year. Imagine you only need to chop trees every day and mining only on the lucky day then your salmonberry and blackberry will carry your energy and health for the rest of the game
I actually made a shed full of recycling machines and leave tons of crab pots in my river farm and wherever I can because I try to pick up the trash in the river as much as I can lmaooo
Thanks for the advice about the slime hutch! I knew that place could make money if you got it early on, but never could figure out a decent placement inside to avoid getting hit. I also never thought about using the sprinkler to water the troughs! So thank you for that too! Also, Foraging was always one of the skills I maxed out very early, as I ALWAYS hunted for the wild plants for each season as a first priority. The amount of supplemental income they bring in during the first year cannot be overstated. As always, thank you for these delightful tips videos! ^_^
I have the automated mod I have my crab pots set up to chests and recycling machines that way it automatically collect fish and recycling the trash really handy.
Can I request a video detailing the Slime Hutch and farm slimes in general? I feel like no one really talks about it or just brushes it off when they do. I got 2 like Slime Hutches, 1 full of Tiger Slimes and the other just mixed slimes. I don’t put anything in them except for 2 sprinklers and the statue for maximum floor room! I always wear a slime ring too. And I will usually ignore it for about 3 days (at max population) and come back to a Hutch OVER FLOWING with eggs!
When you grow the seasonal seeds convert them back into seed packets after they grow, they are worth much more $ than selling the individual items grown.
If you use the seed maker, you only need one foragable for each season: wild horseradish for spring seeds, spice berry for summer seeds, common mushroom for fall seeds and winter root for winter seeds. It makes the tea tree sapling cheap to craft. Also, you don't need to build a slime hutch to get the slime egg-press and the slime incubator recipes.
Your voice is so relaxing, I honestly love to just snuggle in my covers while listening to you talk about Stardew. It's really relaxing and you explain things so softly and easy to understand. Thank you for your videos!
I use the forester and the gatherer perks. If I need more wood and hard wood I just change it at the statute in the sewer. I’ve been doing this in the late game when working towards perfection.
(1) Thank you for the Sashimi graphic. I'm going to add that list to my Stardew Valley reference notebook to keep it handy. (2) I was surprised to hear that foraging is the last skill that you get to level 10 as for me it is always the first one that I do. (3) I like to keep a stack of plain honey and one of plain quartz in my backpack as honey is a liked gift for everyone except Maru and Sebastian and they both like quartz.
I learned recently that the wild seeds for spring, summer, and fall sell for more than the foragables used to craft them. My strategy in the first year is to get the seeds from the community center asap, as well as crafting as many as I can, planting them, and then making even More seeds from the harvest. Seeing as they take 7 days to grow, that's 3 harvest increases, yeilding a final result of between 150-300 seed packets. This single handedly helped me build my barn and get a pig for truffles before winter.
you can also put shoes that you want to keep in a dresser that you buy from robin, the traveling cart, or get from the furniture catalogue. it'll hold an infinite amount of clothing and even separate them into sections by type.
I always thought green and white algae, and seaweed was pretty useless until I learned you need it to craft fish ponds and you can make dishes with them that give you quite a bit of energy
I am 400+ hours in to a new game play and I had no idea that you could sell your weapons back to Marlone and Gil. What is my life?!?! thanks for the tip, I learn something new about this game on a nearly weekly basis!
A tip to go along with that is that if you upgrade your trash can with Clint, each level provides you with a small percentage of gold for the items thrown away. It helps if you're deep in the mines or skull cavern and are running out of v inventory space. You can throw away the items you want the least and still get some use out of them.
You're channel has made my Stardew valley game more fun!! I bought it when it first came to console... But never played it because of some confusion... I found you channel by chance and it has made me fall in love with the game... I'm steady playing now and adore it!!!
Crab pots and recyclers are so underrated, every time I go crab route so I don't have to add bait and just collect across all the boxes. I don't think I've ever had to refine quartz any other way, and it's good to have cloth easily for the community centre without animals
6:27 and be sure to buy the wicked statue recipe from Krobus cuz if the witch shows up she might turn your slimes black...although I appreciate the void egg she left the first time I saw her
I'm so happy to hear someone talk about the benefits of trash, I love crab pots as a trash farm. Whenever I hear people talk about the crab pot skill tree people always say to use the mariner ability, but in my opinion it's kind of a nerf.
Your videos are amazing! I started playing stardew only a couple of weeks ago and i already unlocked Qi's golden walnut room, all thanks to you. This channel is extremely underrated, i hope youll get more subscribers overtime!
I always collect all the weapons I got because I'm a perfectionist lol. Also with Rabbits, soggy newspaper and mummies, I don't need to buy sheep. They're useless. P.S I found out from Fuzzireno channel that you can attach torch to a fence.
Another use for slime is if you can get white slime that has green blue and red values over 250 and end on even numbers. Then they have a 100% chance to drop a diamond (although it takes a looong time to breed one) also the witch is also a annoyance when she turns your slime into black slimes (which drop coal 100% of the time)
Sap, red and purple mushrooms (if you have the mushroom cave), tea leaves, and blueberries are great for dyes, especially for the Qi quest that requires 100 of each color!
8:09 I see what you did there. Muscle? Perhaps muscly mussel? :D You make great and enjoyable videos by the way, and even though I have achieved 100% completion in Stardew Valley, I frequently watch your videos just for relaxation and find many of your tips useful. Farewell!
my friend (who played stardew valley for hours) had thought that mixed seeds were useless and always threw them away until I got stardew valley myself (only started playing like a few weeks ago)
Watching your videos have made me realize how much there is to this game I just started and i am extremely bad at first I sold my parsnip seed since I didn't know what the crate did until the next day.
i usually just sell my tea saplings in the early game because it gives 500 coins for each sapling, especially when you get the free seeds from the bundles
I just started following you recently and am in love with your content. One thing I find you different from most of other UA-camrs is that you don’t seem to use mods in your videos. I also just started playing Stardew Valley a few days ago and feel obliged to mod since it makes the games easier and upgraded in a sense but it takes away the fun as well. Any advice, please?
There is nothing wrong with playing Vanilla. Sometimes saving Mods for when you have run through the game a few times and know pretty much how you do certain things can change things up. Also, trying to make changes to your game play can lead to more fun.
I started with vanilla, then tried out mods, which led to TONS of new possibilities, and have recently gone back to vanilla, making the base game fresh again. I'm also trying out the wilderness farm for the first time. Between the monsters on the farm, and no help whatsoever from mods like UI Info Suite, etc., it feels a lot more challenging.
About those branches, you don't put them in your recycling machines. Throw them in the wood chipper instead. You get more wood as a result and can always use charcoal kilns if you do have a shortage of coal. Much better to just keep a good supply of wood to get through the winter and produce coal when you need it then to waste your branches by recycling them. And if space for charcoal kilns is a problem, build a shed for processing stuff. A normal shed only costs some wood and a bit of money so as long as you dedicate an area of your farm to lumber, you should be able to build it in no time. As an added bonus, having your machines in a shed prevents you from wasting too much time checking up on them. Because harvesting your machines each time you walk by quickly adds up, and can quickly result in you forgetting to refill a machine Oh, and about those farm totems. *Never ever use honey from your farm to craft them.* Just grab them from the casino on a lucky day. Time doesn't move while gambling so just earn some QI coins and buy a good chunk of farm totems. You'll be visiting the desert plenty while going to the skull cavern anyway.
alright i hate mead slander. theyre loved gifts for pam (recommend befriending her, the battery packs and e-tonics are op) and willy, liked gifts for everyone else but leo, jas, vincent, sebastion and penny, take ~1 day in kegs, 1 season in casks, and iridium sells for 400. if you focus on it, itll make it worth your while. its even profitable to buy honey from sandy for a refund at regular quality mead and double what you spend at iridium. wine on the other hand is loved by leah n harvey, liked by everyone else but with the same exceptions (the exceptions hate all alcohol), take a week in kegs, 2 seasons in casks, but are more profitable. i recommend focusing on mead and occasionally doing wine but not aging it.
I always run out of fiber so fast early game because I get the tea tree plants and plant a few then keep making and selling the rest. They turn a big profit for early game just selling the saplings.
I can only give you hints for PC, never played on anything else: click the mouse to make the bar rise, stop to let it go down. You end up tapping the mouse almost constantly--it's fiddly, but improves with practice. If you have trouble catching fish, you can purchase a training rod from Willy. It will give you a bigger bar, but you can only catch basic fish with it. However, your fishing bar will get bigger as your skill levels improve. If you are still finding it frustrating, use the crab pots to get your fishing skill up (Willy sells them)--fish caught that way do count towards improving your fishing skill. And, once you get a rod that uses fishing tackle, there are several bobbers that help, and that you will be able to either craft, or buy from Willy. Hope this helped!
@@dmclegg66 You were NOT being a dumbass--the fishing mini game is not intuitive, and it can be frustrating. I'm not fond of it myself. And you are welcome! ^_^
Good morning. How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. So this may be a stupid question. But do you have to water the Hops plants that are in your slime hutch? How did you set that slime hutch up? I really like that idea and I would like to do the same thing. Thank you for making these videos and thank you for your time.
The poblem that I have with the qualities (and by extension, deluxe) fertilizer is that it's not useful in long term (only at the early game.... until you're making like a crazy preserve jars and kegs and have better seeds at your disposition to buy). Yes, if you sell low quality products like parsnip, you can make some money, but thats only because you want to harvest this type of vegetable and don't have enough kegs/jars to proces all of them.... And deluxe fertilizer, seriously for a parsnip it's a waste of time and money. You gonna earn more money selling the iridium bar alone, than one full season of picking 7 parsnips of iridium quality, and don't forget that only works the first time in regrowable seed. The quality/deluxe fertilizer it's only usefull for Sweet Gem Berrys because they are the only ones that you can't convert them in wine or jelly.
Fertilizer actually works on every regrowth of a regrowable seed. I've been producing iridium-quality ancient fruit in my greenhouse for more than a game-year now. (Admittedly, it's not worth it because I am processing all that ancient fruit). That said, the real use for Deluxe Fertilizer in my late-game was when I was marrying, divorcing, and refriending all the marriage targets; Iridium Quality Loved Crops as gifts (with their 50% friendship bonus) were quite effective when wooing Abigail, Maru, Penny, and Shane.
on my playthroughs i usually get a ton of winter seeds in order to farm up crystal fruits. iridium if you get lvl 10. they work as GREAT food early on in the game. melon is much better, but typically you can't afford to plant a bunch of melons and not sell them in the first year. end game, of course, pineapple are best IMO. i have my greenhouse setup as a pineapple farm with deluxe fertilizer to get iridium quality, which gives you 358 hp and 161 energy. massive.
Indeed. The Crystal Fruit is remarkably valuable for being a wild foragable. As food it can fill up a large portion of your energy gauge, and as wine or jelly the money from it is very impressive.
Spend your year 1 winter planting fiber seeds and winter wild seeds. I reached 2k Wi and 5k fiber without even spending all my resources on sprinklers. Buying 5k wood for 50k (year 1, remember?) and you craft a thousand tea saplings out of that. Chuck it in the bin - that 500k for you. Congrats, you just made 450k net profit in the worst season of the toughest year. If you're smarter than me you can also plant your fiber seeds on winter 22, harvest them at spring 1 and don't have to re-till anything. The downside is that you can't reinvest those 500k in more wood and stone. You can easily spend 20k wood on your sheds full of kegs, and there's a difference between paying 200k or 1mill for that.
I feel mead is HIGHLY underrated and doesn't get Justice done to it enough. Sure it isn't worth much. If you throw it in a cask and age it then it doubles the price but takes 28 days (half as long as wine) to become iridium quality and reduces the profit to about 12 gold per day. However it only takes 10 in games hours in a keg to turn honey into mead ir 600 in game minutes. Even if we include the approximately 4 days to produce the honey that is around FOURTY gold per day. Once again another underrated product that doesn't get enough credit. Considering people go on an on about ancient iridium quality ancient fruit wine which from the time you harvest it requires 7 days in a keg plus 56 days in a cask (63 days total) and sells for 3,300 gold without artisan which is 53.2 gold per day. Honestly... I understand the concept of "throw a batch in the casks and sell all your other batches while waiting for it to finish" but still it feels like more work for dramatically diminishing return on investment. Especially considering our most valuable resource IRL and in game is TIME. It's spend, invested or wasted and we can never get another second back.
also when you use the "useless" items in the sewing machine, you can drop all of your new clothing into a drawer you can buy from robin. (i believe thats how you get it)
Usually I try to get the tea plant recipe as early as possible to replace all my fences with tea plants. Main reason: they do not decay like wood or stone fences and they give you some extra money on top of it when you harvest them. They also look nice. :)
That is actually a brilliant idea!
Thank you so much for the tip
That is a good idea about the tea plants. I don't worry about my fences though as I always make hardwood ones and then marry Emily. She fixes them for me whenever they start to decay. (I am guessing all spouses probably do that too. No idea if Krobus does though.)
@@doreenplatt3873 Abigail does too.
What do you do for the gaps in between tea plants? It only lets me place them with a space in between them.
@@boudicathebrave it’s odd that it won’t let you do that. you should try again. if it doesn’t work, there are a few things you can put there to utilize the space. what id do is pop in some lightning rods, but there are also garden pots, machines (such kegs and oil makers), and scarecrows. you can also put decorative items in those spaces if you don’t want to utilize them.
If your soggy newspaper turns into a torch instead of cloth, put the torch into a deconstructor to get more sap for fertilizer.
Yet another use for the deconstructor!
i just pop em on fences lol
honestly tho, i hate the way fertilizer works cause multi harvest crops only benefit the first item, like blueberries pick in 3s and only the first berry is affected (subsequent harvests and regrows get no benefit), i just use speedgrow on ancient and starfruit to get them up faster.
He has beaten the system
another trash tip driftwood can be put in the wood chipper for maximum wood incase you dont want the coal chance
@@Nox_Lunatera actually all harvests of the multi harvest crops are benefitted by the quality fertilizers, while for the speed gro it's only the first one :)
Never put driftwood into the recycler! Put it into the wood chipper as you will get a lot more wood that way (5-9 wood in the wood chipper vs 1-3 wood in the recycler)!
How do I find the woodchipper?
Robin will stock it in her shop after the second day of winter year 1 (you will get a letter announcing it). It costs 1,000g
otherwise give the driftwood to leah- she really likes getting it as a gift for her sculptures
I did not know this!
@@cookiesareakatherinefood you can get the wood chipper on the 1st day of winter too! i happened to go to her shop that day and bought one and then got the letter about it the next day haha
I keep the broken cds and broken glasses for Mr Qi’s quest that requires 100 blue items. Saves you using 100 blueberries!
A fun fact with mixed seeds is if you plant them in the greenhouse during winter they turn into any plant from the other seasons (that the mixed seed can turn into that is so you won't get stuff like ancient seeds or rare seeds) so if you need a specific plant for somthing and you missed the season you can just do that
One really nice thing about Fiber Seeds: They stay across Seasons, and their plots stay tilled after harvesting. So if you don't want to re-fertilize your plots in Spring, harvest and clear-cut on Fall 28 (or whatever your last Fall Harvest day will be), and sow the entire field with Fiber Seeds. You can leave them in the ground , or harvest and reseed if you need Fiber. As long as you do that, a swipe of a scythe gives you a ready-to-go plot on the early morning on Spring 1.
Sure Winter Seeds are more profitable, and build Foraging, but they also have a chance of untilling the plot you plant them on, and they all vanish on Spring 1, usually un-tilling almost your entire field.
This is a great tip! Thank you!
So would this tactic work to maintain a plot of (for example) deluxe retaining soil on the beach farm across multiple years? Colour me interested..
@@branllyr240 I believe it probably would. That's a good idea. Haven't tried it myself, as I haven't yet played the Beach Farm, and have only personally tried it with Deluxe Fertilizer.
I have so many crab pots it doesn't matter. I can craft infinite quality fert
@@genogrinberg6014 The main benefit in using fiber seeds is _time_ , though. Normally on Spring 1, to get peak production, you have to hoe the entire field, plant the entire field, and fertilize the entire field, which will eat up large portions of the day, depending on how big a field you're tending.
Using fiber seeds as a placeholder means that as long as you got them in the ground before the last week of Winter, you won't have to re-hoe or re-fertilize anything on Spring 1, and even if you didn't manage to do it in Fall before all your plants and fertilizer vanished, you have _the entire first three weeks of Winter_ to prep your field at whatever pace you feel like, and lock it in with Fiber Seeds for Spring 1.
Having a Rabbit Farm is the best way to get max friendship w Villagers, they will always drop Rabbit feet at least once a week with full hearts
also good to have one if you trigger the cutscene that happens when you date the entire town ;)
I believe whether a rabbit foot is dropped depends on the daily luck which can be checked on the TV. The higher the daily luck the more likely the wool drop will be replaced with a rabbit's foot. This also applies to duck feathers.
noooooo i JUST sold all of my rabbits feet cause i didn’t think anyone would like them
Honestly i just give out cooked food and sell the feet since I have so much laying around I'm not using.
@@christinahopeful Be careful, because I’m pretty sure Emily hates rabbit’s feet, probably because she doesn’t like seeing a piece of a dead animal as a gift?
As I was transcribing your Sashimi graphic into my Stardew Valley reference notebook, I noticed that it includes shrimp, snails, periwinkle and mussles. You did mention briefly that some of these can be used in good recipes and I wanted to follow up on that. I personally set shrimp aside to make Shrimp Cocktail which gives you a buff of +1 fishing and +1 luck for 10 minutes. Snails can be turned into Escargot which will give you +2 fishing for 16 minutes (or given as a loved gift to Vincent). Periwinkle and mussel are ingredients in Fish Stew which gives +3 fishing for 16 minutes. Additionally, some of these cheaper fish are requested by more valuable fish in fish pond quests so I would suggest keeping at least some of them aside in a chest instead of turning them all into sashimi.
Don't forget that you can also trade bone fragments for taro seeds to grow on ginger island. Taro roots are used in recipes and can be traded for other stuff at the island trader.
Taro roots can also be requested by Caroline as one of her Special Orders. So trading those bone fragments can help you amass the 100 taro seeds needed.
Also on the topic of trash, driftwood is a liked gift for Leah, it lets you turn trash into friendship points very early in the game so it's even more valuable in my opinion!
I didn't know this! Thank you! Leah was one of the villagers I never could get a high relationship with, as she always seems pretty elusive, and our schedules didn't mesh. lol

I like to place my beehouses in such a formation that the flower in the middle is unreachable, so that I don't pluck it accidently while collecting honey. I use deluxe retaining soil to keep the flower watered.
I just slap down a basic sprinkler next to it. Once it's grown I replace the sprinkler with another beehouse to protect it.

Tailoring: if you don't like the way your current shoes look, but really want the buffs, you can use the sewing machine to transfer the buffs into a pair of footwear that you like. Be advised, however, that it will use up the old shoes.

A tip for coal shortages: in the regular mines, go to level 55 and farm the little coal monsters, once you get to ~level 60, exit the mines and rinse and repeat.
Even better, if I remember correctly killing 500 of those same coal monsters will get you the monster eradication goal and you'll get the Burglar Ring, which greatly increases monster drops, so even more coal!
Take the hoe with you and dig out cave carrots. The blue slimes drop a winter root vegetable and you can combine them with the cave carrots at the stove to make root dish which gives a bonus to your attack. It's not the best food in the game but it's nice to take about 50 of them with you to the caverns
Coal monster = dust spirit. But most people refer to them as dust sprite due to mandella effect
@@stevdor6146 That's not "Mandela Effect", they're actually called dust sprites, always have lol I even tried to google search for them to make sure, only dust sprites show up as a result.

The cheap regular fertiliser made from 2 sap is great for year 1. You can easily make enough to put it on everything you grow, and the extra gold star produce is so helpful for early game cash, completing the community centre and winning the grange display.
Planting tea plants around a junimo hut is a game changer. I have them in my house but I ALWAYS forget to harvest them, too busy with other stuff at the end of the season!
I find that the trash ends up being more useful from crab pots for people like me who don't care to make money from fishing whatsoever. Endless coal, small bits of ore, the occasional cloth, an endless supply of torches, but especially CDs and broken glasses for refined quartz early game is just plain good. The last one tides me over until I can get a crystalarium going with fire quartz for massive solar farms and garden pot greenhouses late game.
Also, save the driftwood from recycling. Leah likes it, plus it gives more wood being pushed through the chipper that Robin sells (8-9 instead of 1-3)
Driftwood can be used in the Chipper??? Cool!
I think you should make a video about the best outfit combinations that can be sew in the sewing machine, it would be really useful for people like me that loves to make the character aesthetically good!
I love all your videos! Please never stop, all your guides are amazing~
Thank you so much for the idea!
I should go try on a bunch of clothes and see what looks good 😅😊
Fun tip, if you put a dyeable clothing item in the sewing machine with a rainbow Shell you'll be able to recolor it using HSB sliders like you can with your pants when you first make a character!

@@elizabethb4168 For real? That's amazing!
ayyy finally some recognition for recycling machines B) I had no idea about mixed seeds on Ginger Island! for some reason I thought it would randomize seeds from the mainland bunch. even after many years of playing you can learn something new, I guess 😅
When I first played stardew valley I didn’t know that you could use quarts to make refined quarts. Broken glasses, broken CDs, and the recycling machine saved my life
Endgame tip, if youre sick of hoeing large quantities of tiles at the beginning of spring for ancient seeds like me, you can plant the fiber seeds in winter and leave them there. Then come spring, just scythe them all, then you dont have to hoe the ground. Saves tones of time, cuz you need to plant the ancient seeds asap
I don't know what it is about your content, specifically, but watching your videos is like having a chill conversation about one of my favorite games. I love how informative, yet laid back you seem! You're definitely underrated in the youtube community!
I literally just spent like 200k on crab pots and made 20 recycling machines, what a coincidence
It's worth noting that after building a slime hutch all slime will have a chance to drop a slime egg. This chance only triggers after the hutch is made.
I often forget you have such little recognition compared to other stardew valley youtubers. Especially considering your incredible content, enthusiasm, and overall quality! I hope someday I’ll see you grow bigger than you already are!
Most sdv youtubers aren't actually that big, even unsurpassable Z which hosted the Stardew Valley Cup is only sitting on 30k. I hope that the whole Stardew community on UA-cam gets the recognition it deserves one day!
It's funny how I see so many people say that Foraging is one of the last (if not the last) sill to max out, and it was my first one in my main save (my final one were combat and fishing, and fish was the very last, only got level 10 in year 4)
Same, it's always the first one I max out! And once I do, I go wild during the berry seasons and just have hundreds of iridium berries to eat and give as gifts lol. Not the optimal gift or food, but very easy to amass a ton for free, so I usually stick with them out of laziness. :)
For something better, cactus fruit from the desert and purple mushrooms in the mines are great free food options when they're all iridium!
Foraging is the first one I usually max out. Most of the time, I can get level 4 foraging before Spring 15 for the salmonberries and level 8 before Fall 8 for the blackberries.
Just plant the wild seeds that you get in the community center bundle for this effect and if you plant 30 or more for three weeks, you get a lot of extra money as well as a huge boost in foraging skill.
@@david2869 Exactly. One of the first things I do with a new farm after planting my first field is go searching for the wild foragables. If you can get to level 1 foraging by day 1 (very easy if you cut trees all the first day), and find what you need on day 2, you can have your first batch of wild plants ready by day 9. Finding more during the first week to turn in when the CC is unlocked gets you the free 30 seeds and you are ready to plant! I always try to get at least 1 harvest of wild produce every week. The amount of skill and cash it brings in is totally worth the energy.
@@diana35395 Me too, during the frist couple of years, I spend those four days of berry season (salmon or blackberries) going over the whole map and picking up as many as I can. Almost everyone likes them, and they're free food when my energy bar is till small.
I saw this tip somewhere else. Get to 2 hearts with Caroline early game, plant all the spring seeds you can, then craft and sell the tea saplings for some quick cash. I tried this and made enough gold to upgrade my backpack twice in one go by selling the saplings directly to Pierre.
You know you love a creator when you like the video before you watch it!
awh thank you so much!
I really appreciate it 😊
Yesss recognition for recycling machines! I use them to get quartz all the time, and sometimes coal cause everyone in the artisan branch can never have enough of them 😂 Super useful video!
The recycle machine is sadly level fishing, not farming. You can also get it by completing the field research bundle though, that will at least get you started
If you have a shortage of coal, you might want to put the driftwood in the wood chipper and then use the wood to make coal in that machine which I don't remember the name of
Charcoal Kiln. Currently I have eleven of those close to thirteen chippers. Two more chippers may be optimal.
I thought the recycling machine was universal known fact. I love how much Refined Quartz you cn accumulate with those, not only for crafting but also if you have a money shortage
Another fact about tea plants? They are incredibly valuable if you just sell them. Each tea plant takes 2 wild seeds, 5 fiber, and 5 wood. A tea sapling sells for 500 gold. This means that if you can get the recipe early, you can gather up a large amount of wild seeds and craft them all into tea saplings. I was able to amass 50,000 gold before my first summer, and all that delightful wealth advanced my farm very early into the adventure.
I think Foraging is the most op skill tree in the game for the first year.
Imagine you only need to chop trees every day and mining only on the lucky day then your salmonberry and blackberry will carry your energy and health for the rest of the game
I love growing the seasonal seeds for a full season and then selling everything at the end of it. It's really good if you use deluxe/hyper fertilizer
I get a smile on my face when I see you upload!
I get a smile when I get comments like this
Thank you much!!!😊
@@ezlilyy you deserve it
I actually made a shed full of recycling machines and leave tons of crab pots in my river farm and wherever I can because I try to pick up the trash in the river as much as I can lmaooo
Thanks for the advice about the slime hutch! I knew that place could make money if you got it early on, but never could figure out a decent placement inside to avoid getting hit. I also never thought about using the sprinkler to water the troughs! So thank you for that too! Also, Foraging was always one of the skills I maxed out very early, as I ALWAYS hunted for the wild plants for each season as a first priority. The amount of supplemental income they bring in during the first year cannot be overstated. As always, thank you for these delightful tips videos! ^_^
I have the automated mod I have my crab pots set up to chests and recycling machines that way it automatically collect fish and recycling the trash really handy.
I use it for kegs and casks and preserve jars as well
5:51 you unlock the slime egg press at level 6 combat, not after making a slime hutch
Can I request a video detailing the Slime Hutch and farm slimes in general? I feel like no one really talks about it or just brushes it off when they do.
I got 2 like Slime Hutches, 1 full of Tiger Slimes and the other just mixed slimes. I don’t put anything in them except for 2 sprinklers and the statue for maximum floor room! I always wear a slime ring too. And I will usually ignore it for about 3 days (at max population) and come back to a Hutch OVER FLOWING with eggs!
When you grow the seasonal seeds convert them back into seed packets after they grow, they are worth much more $ than selling the individual items grown.
If you use the seed maker, you only need one foragable for each season: wild horseradish for spring seeds, spice berry for summer seeds, common mushroom for fall seeds and winter root for winter seeds. It makes the tea tree sapling cheap to craft. Also, you don't need to build a slime hutch to get the slime egg-press and the slime incubator recipes.
i dont know why people think its op to pick up iridium truffles because with the artisan profession the truffle oil its way more worth it
It's really just good for getting the other forage jtems. Even with Salmonberries, I make them into wine just so I have free materials
Your voice is so relaxing, I honestly love to just snuggle in my covers while listening to you talk about Stardew. It's really relaxing and you explain things so softly and easy to understand. Thank you for your videos!
I use the forester and the gatherer perks. If I need more wood and hard wood I just change it at the statute in the sewer. I’ve been doing this in the late game when working towards perfection.
4:01 OMG 😂 This is adorable 🤩
coming home from school to ur vids is chefs kiss mwah ily
Driftwood is also a good gift for Leah! ^-^
so me and my fiancee play sv together and honestly coffee, tea, and triple shot are underrated money makers.
(1) Thank you for the Sashimi graphic. I'm going to add that list to my Stardew Valley reference notebook to keep it handy. (2) I was surprised to hear that foraging is the last skill that you get to level 10 as for me it is always the first one that I do. (3) I like to keep a stack of plain honey and one of plain quartz in my backpack as honey is a liked gift for everyone except Maru and Sebastian and they both like quartz.
Maru doesn't like Maple Syrup either. o.O
Iridium trash cans are worth it! They might be expensive, but they are helpful for extra money from those weapons you don’t need.
I learned recently that the wild seeds for spring, summer, and fall sell for more than the foragables used to craft them. My strategy in the first year is to get the seeds from the community center asap, as well as crafting as many as I can, planting them, and then making even More seeds from the harvest. Seeing as they take 7 days to grow, that's 3 harvest increases, yeilding a final result of between 150-300 seed packets. This single handedly helped me build my barn and get a pig for truffles before winter.
I did not know you could sell shoes. One of my old equipments trunk is about to have more free space.
you can also put shoes that you want to keep in a dresser that you buy from robin, the traveling cart, or get from the furniture catalogue. it'll hold an infinite amount of clothing and even separate them into sections by type.
@@alick7825 Wow, I did not know the dressers were functional, I'm not sure how I never discovered that. Thanks.

I always thought green and white algae, and seaweed was pretty useless until I learned you need it to craft fish ponds and you can make dishes with them that give you quite a bit of energy
I was having a hard time playing until I found your channel! 1000 hours in and I didn't know about ginger Island 🤪🙃
I've got over twice that in hours and also never heard of the ginger island. Anyone got a simple answer
I am 400+ hours in to a new game play and I had no idea that you could sell your weapons back to Marlone and Gil. What is my life?!?! thanks for the tip, I learn something new about this game on a nearly weekly basis!
A tip to go along with that is that if you upgrade your trash can with Clint, each level provides you with a small percentage of gold for the items thrown away. It helps if you're deep in the mines or skull cavern and are running out of v inventory space. You can throw away the items you want the least and still get some use out of them.
You're channel has made my Stardew valley game more fun!! I bought it when it first came to console... But never played it because of some confusion... I found you channel by chance and it has made me fall in love with the game... I'm steady playing now and adore it!!!
Love your videos! Finally a great UA-cam channel that is way more focused on the game.
Crab pots and recyclers are so underrated, every time I go crab route so I don't have to add bait and just collect across all the boxes. I don't think I've ever had to refine quartz any other way, and it's good to have cloth easily for the community centre without animals
6:27 and be sure to buy the wicked statue recipe from Krobus cuz if the witch shows up she might turn your slimes black...although I appreciate the void egg she left the first time I saw her
I'm so happy to hear someone talk about the benefits of trash, I love crab pots as a trash farm. Whenever I hear people talk about the crab pot skill tree people always say to use the mariner ability, but in my opinion it's kind of a nerf.
Thank you so much for telling me about the fiber seeds, I had no idea and it's gonna help me so much
at 5:50 you say that you unlock the Slime Egg Press when you buy the slime hutch BUT i unlocked the recipe from leveling up my combat levels
bone fragment are also needed for one of big quests
I think making seasonal seeds and selling them is also good use of them
Your videos are amazing! I started playing stardew only a couple of weeks ago and i already unlocked Qi's golden walnut room, all thanks to you. This channel is extremely underrated, i hope youll get more subscribers overtime!
This takes my hoarding problem to a new level 😅
I always collect all the weapons I got because I'm a perfectionist lol. Also with Rabbits, soggy newspaper and mummies, I don't need to buy sheep. They're useless.
P.S I found out from Fuzzireno channel that you can attach torch to a fence.
Another use for slime is if you can get white slime that has green blue and red values over 250 and end on even numbers. Then they have a 100% chance to drop a diamond (although it takes a looong time to breed one) also the witch is also a annoyance when she turns your slime into black slimes (which drop coal 100% of the time)
Sap, red and purple mushrooms (if you have the mushroom cave), tea leaves, and blueberries are great for dyes, especially for the Qi quest that requires 100 of each color!
Your voice helps relieve my depression
On my last winter I planted winter seeds and i got so much profit, but I took super long to water lol
I'm subscribing the first day I found the channel your voice and videos are só calm and you explain things ver well!😃

my friend (who played stardew valley for hours) had thought that mixed seeds were useless and always threw them away until I got stardew valley myself (only started playing like a few weeks ago)
Driftwood can be put in woodchipper voor 7 wood
Watching your videos have made me realize how much there is to this game I just started and i am extremely bad at first I sold my parsnip seed since I didn't know what the crate did until the next day.
i usually just sell my tea saplings in the early game because it gives 500 coins for each sapling, especially when you get the free seeds from the bundles
I just started following you recently and am in love with your content. One thing I find you different from most of other UA-camrs is that you don’t seem to use mods in your videos. I also just started playing Stardew Valley a few days ago and feel obliged to mod since it makes the games easier and upgraded in a sense but it takes away the fun as well. Any advice, please?
There is nothing wrong with playing Vanilla. Sometimes saving Mods for when you have run through the game a few times and know pretty much how you do certain things can change things up. Also, trying to make changes to your game play can lead to more fun.
I started with vanilla, then tried out mods, which led to TONS of new possibilities, and have recently gone back to vanilla, making the base game fresh again. I'm also trying out the wilderness farm for the first time. Between the monsters on the farm, and no help whatsoever from mods like UI Info Suite, etc., it feels a lot more challenging.
Thank you for this! I've only been playing for a couple of months and this has helped me a lot!
About those branches, you don't put them in your recycling machines. Throw them in the wood chipper instead. You get more wood as a result and can always use charcoal kilns if you do have a shortage of coal. Much better to just keep a good supply of wood to get through the winter and produce coal when you need it then to waste your branches by recycling them.
And if space for charcoal kilns is a problem, build a shed for processing stuff. A normal shed only costs some wood and a bit of money so as long as you dedicate an area of your farm to lumber, you should be able to build it in no time. As an added bonus, having your machines in a shed prevents you from wasting too much time checking up on them. Because harvesting your machines each time you walk by quickly adds up, and can quickly result in you forgetting to refill a machine
Oh, and about those farm totems. *Never ever use honey from your farm to craft them.* Just grab them from the casino on a lucky day. Time doesn't move while gambling so just earn some QI coins and buy a good chunk of farm totems. You'll be visiting the desert plenty while going to the skull cavern anyway.
The only exception would be that you have to craft at least on to achieve Perfection.
that's really creative to path some hops in pots in the slime hutch I like that.
alright i hate mead slander. theyre loved gifts for pam (recommend befriending her, the battery packs and e-tonics are op) and willy, liked gifts for everyone else but leo, jas, vincent, sebastion and penny, take ~1 day in kegs, 1 season in casks, and iridium sells for 400. if you focus on it, itll make it worth your while. its even profitable to buy honey from sandy for a refund at regular quality mead and double what you spend at iridium.
wine on the other hand is loved by leah n harvey, liked by everyone else but with the same exceptions (the exceptions hate all alcohol), take a week in kegs, 2 seasons in casks, but are more profitable. i recommend focusing on mead and occasionally doing wine but not aging it.
I always run out of fiber so fast early game because I get the tea tree plants and plant a few then keep making and selling the rest. They turn a big profit for early game just selling the saplings.
Could you do a video on the best clothing items you can make pls ^-^ loving your vids so much
How were you collecting the tea leaves without going up to all of them individually?
I have only been playing for a few days but can't get fishing to work I only got 1 fish and can't seem to make the fishing bar come up and hints?
I can only give you hints for PC, never played on anything else: click the mouse to make the bar rise, stop to let it go down. You end up tapping the mouse almost constantly--it's fiddly, but improves with practice. If you have trouble catching fish, you can purchase a training rod from Willy. It will give you a bigger bar, but you can only catch basic fish with it. However, your fishing bar will get bigger as your skill levels improve. If you are still finding it frustrating, use the crab pots to get your fishing skill up (Willy sells them)--fish caught that way do count towards improving your fishing skill.
And, once you get a rod that uses fishing tackle, there are several bobbers that help, and that you will be able to either craft, or buy from Willy.
Hope this helped!
@@a.j.nunnaurbiz6535 thanks for the advice I figured it out I was just being a dumbass

Good morning. How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. So this may be a stupid question. But do you have to water the Hops plants that are in your slime hutch? How did you set that slime hutch up? I really like that idea and I would like to do the same thing. Thank you for making these videos and thank you for your time.
Your house looks so nice. I'm sure Harvey is getting annoyed with my messy house full of machines.
The poblem that I have with the qualities (and by extension, deluxe) fertilizer is that it's not useful in long term (only at the early game.... until you're making like a crazy preserve jars and kegs and have better seeds at your disposition to buy). Yes, if you sell low quality products like parsnip, you can make some money, but thats only because you want to harvest this type of vegetable and don't have enough kegs/jars to proces all of them.... And deluxe fertilizer, seriously for a parsnip it's a waste of time and money. You gonna earn more money selling the iridium bar alone, than one full season of picking 7 parsnips of iridium quality, and don't forget that only works the first time in regrowable seed.
The quality/deluxe fertilizer it's only usefull for Sweet Gem Berrys because they are the only ones that you can't convert them in wine or jelly.
Fertilizer actually works on every regrowth of a regrowable seed. I've been producing iridium-quality ancient fruit in my greenhouse for more than a game-year now. (Admittedly, it's not worth it because I am processing all that ancient fruit). That said, the real use for Deluxe Fertilizer in my late-game was when I was marrying, divorcing, and refriending all the marriage targets; Iridium Quality Loved Crops as gifts (with their 50% friendship bonus) were quite effective when wooing Abigail, Maru, Penny, and Shane.
Is there a video on your slime hutch setup?
Does anyone know why my slimes keep showing in front of the slime incubator intead of being contained by walls?
i regretted throwing out all my trash after i found out you can get refined quartz out of it
on my playthroughs i usually get a ton of winter seeds in order to farm up crystal fruits. iridium if you get lvl 10. they work as GREAT food early on in the game.
melon is much better, but typically you can't afford to plant a bunch of melons and not sell them in the first year.
end game, of course, pineapple are best IMO. i have my greenhouse setup as a pineapple farm with deluxe fertilizer to get iridium quality, which gives you 358 hp and 161 energy. massive.
Indeed. The Crystal Fruit is remarkably valuable for being a wild foragable. As food it can fill up a large portion of your energy gauge, and as wine or jelly the money from it is very impressive.
Spend your year 1 winter planting fiber seeds and winter wild seeds. I reached 2k Wi and 5k fiber without even spending all my resources on sprinklers. Buying 5k wood for 50k (year 1, remember?) and you craft a thousand tea saplings out of that. Chuck it in the bin - that 500k for you. Congrats, you just made 450k net profit in the worst season of the toughest year.
If you're smarter than me you can also plant your fiber seeds on winter 22, harvest them at spring 1 and don't have to re-till anything. The downside is that you can't reinvest those 500k in more wood and stone. You can easily spend 20k wood on your sheds full of kegs, and there's a difference between paying 200k or 1mill for that.
I feel mead is HIGHLY underrated and doesn't get Justice done to it enough. Sure it isn't worth much. If you throw it in a cask and age it then it doubles the price but takes 28 days (half as long as wine) to become iridium quality and reduces the profit to about 12 gold per day. However it only takes 10 in games hours in a keg to turn honey into mead ir 600 in game minutes. Even if we include the approximately 4 days to produce the honey that is around FOURTY gold per day. Once again another underrated product that doesn't get enough credit. Considering people go on an on about ancient iridium quality ancient fruit wine which from the time you harvest it requires 7 days in a keg plus 56 days in a cask (63 days total) and sells for 3,300 gold without artisan which is 53.2 gold per day. Honestly... I understand the concept of "throw a batch in the casks and sell all your other batches while waiting for it to finish" but still it feels like more work for dramatically diminishing return on investment. Especially considering our most valuable resource IRL and in game is TIME. It's spend, invested or wasted and we can never get another second back.
Love your SDV videos, so informative with charming narration ❤️
also when you use the "useless" items in the sewing machine, you can drop all of your new clothing into a drawer you can buy from robin. (i believe thats how you get it)
yep! you can also get them for free from the furniture catalogue she sells.
It's actually better to put Driftwood in the wood chipper than in the recycle machine because it gives out slightly more wood.
These tips are really good thank you 😊
