One of my faves is Salamance's Imperfection Run, where he couldn't craft, ship, level up, make friends, etc., anything that would add a percent to the Perfection tracker. He heard the min percent you need to open the Walnut Room door is 3% & he wanted to see if that was true.
Awesome video! I came for a compiled list of the most interesting vanilla challenges and was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of mine featured, haha. Thanks for the showcase! For the No Level-Up Community Center run, it is now possible to complete in single player with the correct configuration of Remixed Bundles. I did the original challenge in version 1.3 before that was an option, but I think Haboo actually did an updated version of the challenge using a seed to get the necessary bundles. Don't think he ever made a video, but I remember watching his VODs about it. As for the Master Angler Challenge, I definitely would have benefitted from actually seeking a seed with ideal bubble locations, but I'm happy that I was still able to make it work with the cards I was dealt. And it's funny you should mention the idea of catching every fish in as few in-game days as possible, because I've actually looked into that a bit myself! Originally I thought it would be doable in the first month too with proper planning, but then I realized that you can't access the Witch's Swamp-and by extension the Void Salmon-until the Railroad becomes accessible on Summer 3rd, making that the earliest possible day as far as I can tell. Still, I'd love to see it actually pulled off! Again, excellent video. Looking forward to seeing what other challenges await us in version 1.6!
This is really so absolutely cool I love when bigger creators are found in the comment sections of smaller creators supporting them and cheering them on it's so sweet and heart warming I love our little community
Shoot! I completely forgot about that darn railroad area. Well, summer 3rd it is then. I find it even more impressive that you were able to work with the bubbles given to you as opposed to an ideal seed! Thanks so much for the awesome challenges and videos to go along with them :D
I have been dying to try the no level up challenge since i watched tht vid cuz i hadnt seen anyone else try it on 1.5. I didnt realize haboo had done it! But i did a perfection run first tht i finished recently so now im waiting to try it after 1.6 and hopefully make some vids on it as i go :D
one i’ve been dying to try is when you can only sell full stacks of items! a more approachable version of the 999 collection challenge, I’d say. great vid, cap!
For a second I was like wait just use a Junimos but for CC without leveling up. I was like just slow grind and buy starfruit at the luau. Then I remember you can’t get junimo huts until doing the wizards quest… that is only accessible after completing the CC or jojamart
Oh this is a great video! I’ve watched a lot of these challenges but hadn’t ever heard of others, thanks for giving me new stuff to watch/listen to on long night shift hours!
I haven't seen anyone try this but I'm really enjoying this challenge where to buy anything I have to have a loved gift as an exchange and I can only buy that one service/item with that (exception being travelling cart). It takes the base from "not buying anything" challenges but gives you an opportunity to e.g. buy the backpack upgrade. And I like to think of it as an super nice way of representing exchange economy.
another challenge I’ve seen is collecting every item in the game! It’s a wonderful video by wand of sparking. He’s definitely the only one who’s done it but it’s such an interesting video and item nonetheless!
the ArgonMatrix 1-day fishing challenge is the gold standard! i've watched it so many times. it's a delightful idea and they really take us on such a journey! The ups, the downs! The dramatic conclusion! I also love Salmence's imperfection run, and waligug has several charming challenges that feel a little off the beaten path. I'll have to check the rest of these out. Thanks for an interesting vid!!
Yes, Argon truly crafted a masterpiece and I am excited to see what's in store for the future. Hopefully I can find time to try some challenges myself, thanks for the comment!
The master angler is probably my favorite challenge so far. It's a mix of planning, grinding, skill and rng that feels so satisfying overall. I was on the edge of my seat while watching Argon's, definitely recommend checking it out
Good question! That footage was from the randomizer so you can unlock things out of order. For vanilla, it probably wouldn't work and need some other kinds of bundles.
Well these do seem a bit too unfun for me, the most challenging thing I’ve done is trying to get lvl 10 fishing without using the rod so I can easily get the legend lol Applause to those who do these insane challenges though And dang, after seeing this video I searched “fun stardew valley challenges”, and there were zero lists of fun challenges, only crap. Thanks youtube

I’m pretty sure from the video argon didn’t pick a seed, and just ran with natural bubbles from their random seed on world start
Got it, that sounds right! It's even more impressive then as Argon had quite a few well utilized bubble spots during the challenge.
Yeah, Argon doesn’t like to use predictions on his challenges. Which makes more challenging. 100% vanilla
one i’ve been dying to try is when you can only sell full stacks of items! a more approachable version of the 999 collection challenge, I’d say. great vid, cap!
That sounds like a great variation of the 999 challenge and definitely more approachable!

There are quite a few things locked behind completing the community center which would be useful! Maybe there will be a work around in 1.6?
Oh this is a great video! I’ve watched a lot of these challenges but hadn’t ever heard of others, thanks for giving me new stuff to watch/listen to on long night shift hours!
I'm glad some of these challenges are new to you and hope you enjoy them!
I hadn't even considered the potential for more remixed bundles in 1.6. It wouldn't be a huge thing, but I hope we get some!
It would certainly be a nice extra touch!

This sounds very interesting! Could also work as a cool mod so the player can rely only on exchanging.
Huzzah! A cool video that is a list of ten more cool videos! You're like the algorithm, but accurate to my interests.

I agree, this was one of my favorites which is why I ranked it so high!
Time to watch this before bed to hopefully get sleepy, or get inspired to do challenges in stardew
New challenge idea: sleep-playing Stardew
Whatevery you do, do not break the chat again! 🤭
Hey cap, theres one of my favorite stardew players names Scruggaluggs who did the 1 year perfection without joja
Awesome! I'll be sure to check them out, sounds like an insane challenge!
I miss Scruggaluggs
My favorite challenge to watch is perfection randomized that argonmatrix has been doing for months
Wait.. don’t you get qi coins in the desert… which you are trying to unlock… using the qi coins from the desert?
Good question! That footage was from the randomizer so you can unlock things out of order. For vanilla, it probably wouldn't work and need some other kinds of bundles.
a good eazier challenge complete every story qeusts on the same day as you get them
That sounds like a fun challenge!
Well these do seem a bit too unfun for me, the most challenging thing I’ve done is trying to get lvl 10 fishing without using the rod so I can easily get the legend lol
Applause to those who do these insane challenges though
And dang, after seeing this video I searched “fun stardew valley challenges”, and there were zero lists of fun challenges, only crap. Thanks youtube
Understandable! Maybe I'll make a 10 fun challenge video, who knows.
Unfortunate you didn't include Wand of Sparking and the selling only through the trash can challenge they did.
Ahhh yeah that one definitely would have been a good one to include!
Wheres the mention of Tea Sapling billionaire? Lol Underscore has done a TAS of this challenge but there is a few of us who are doing it real time!
I'm not familiar with this one! I'll have to search it up.
Lol I watch too much sdv challenge videos because I've seen all of these and have opinions on what you missed. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Feel free to list any challenges I may have missed and I'll add them to the playlist!
"Promo SM" 😭
bruh. do not even speak of argon. That persons achievement and work does not belong in low tier videos like these
