I got an ancient seed on fitst year spring i already got 2 with 1 golden quality for the joja package lmao thoo i kinda trashed melon ones i miss 1 golden and i think im too late to get it fixed- I wanted greenhouse first rip-
I don't think it's worth it, it's much more worth it to use the money to plant lots of blueberries or starfruit with the money from the strawberries, in year 2 you won't even need the strawberries as much, especially If you have the Island
So it may not be optimal, but if you're planning on planting ancient fruit in the greenhouse, getting the T3 retaining soil recipe from ginger island can make things a tiny bit more efficient. It'll let you plant in all 120 tillable spaces and you'll only have to water them once.
More strawberries, got it. Jk the sprinkler one is an absolute lifesaver! Ever since you told me about that tip, it has completely transformed my Summer 1
The thing that enabled me to get perfection before the end of year 3 was preserves jars, and aiming to put every single piece of fruit besides Salmon berries through one asap. This takes a lot of coal, though, so even though I had a free smoker from picking Riverlands, I limited the fish I smoked to stuff worth more than 200 gold. Shooting for a big berry field and then turning as many berries as possible into jam meant I was never really pinched for cash by late summer year 1. Sold the gold berries at first but made a big shed full of preserve jars my priority while waiting on oak resin for kegs. Oh, and buy 999 wood from Robin before the end of year 1 because all of it takes so much wood.
You mentioned that if you chop down the tea saplings after they are done sprouting leaves you can sell them or replant them, but if you're going to just replant them, don't bother chopping them down, they'll sprout leaves again for the last week of the next month regardless.
Yup, they are permanent, and survive winter too, you just do not get tea leaves in winter. I sometimes plant them as hedgerows around fields and animal farms instead of making hedges out of wood, stone or iron. Looks good, functions the same and never needs repair, plus you have some moderate additional profit every last 7 days of spring, summer and autumn. Tea is also good for friendship with several NPCs.
One major thing that I find helps immensely your first spring is selling the starter-snip seeds to grow potatoes, and then when the potatoes are done, replant with parsnips which will be ready to harvest and sell in time for the egg festival, maximizing your strawberry potential, where 2 consecutive batches of potatoes won't quite ready in time.
hmm...Parsnip Seeds only sell for 10g each though and Potato Seeds cost 50g...so you would buy 1 bag of Potato Seeds instead of selling the Parsnips for 175g in 4 days? Am I misunderstanding something? That seems awful.
@@madamemoonie That might just be my personal preference for potatoes bleeding though. It makes more sense to keep the parsnip seeds, but I like selling them because it means that on top of the starter cash, I can get 13 potatoes growing day 1 without having to worry about crows or watering a bunch of crops by hand.
If you plant 1parsnip, 1potato, 1cauli and 1green bean on the day one, all of them are ready to be donated at the day of the egg festival (that means going to community center at 10pm though) which means you get 20 speed gro you can the use for your 20 strawberries (you also need to plant them on the day of the festival) to have 3 harvests instead of 2. It's a lot of prep work in the morning and evening of the festival day, but it's worth it.
One arguing point for keeping the parsnips seeds and possibly focusing on parsnip seeds or doing a combination of them with potatoes is the experience. If I remember correctly, parsnips are great for fast farming exp, letting you unlock quality sprinklers faster. There are guides and calculators to help you calculate exactly how many of what crops you can plant for experience gain. Crows won't show up up if you don have more than 15 or 16 crops I think so if you are planning on planting a lot before scarecrows (another need for exp boost) plan on planting extras. Nothing worse than your one cabbage disappearing. I usually plant mixed seeds until i have at least 1 or 2 potatoes and cabbages and then buy what i need from Pierre. I've unlocked sprinklers about a week or so after the festival. You can even still plant the other crops for the speed boost. And gold parsnips are the cheapest crop for the quality bundle.
@@Kimi79SandShadow I just started a save where I sold almost all of my Parsnip seeds (save for 1) so I had just enough gold to buy all the crops needed from the spring crops bundle, then enough potatoes to get me up to 15 crops. Then I spent the next few weeks fishing and now have a bunch of strawberry seeds I can plant at the start of year 2.
I tried using the mushroom logs and aside from purple mushroom logs, I guess I didn’t see the point to use my time on them? But now I know mushroom logs need to be placed by moss covered trees so I should try it again!
@@madamemoonie Mushroom logs are a simple semi-passive stream of revenue once you have them set-up. They produce every 4 days (sooner when it rains). If you plan on having a section of trees for tapping you might as well get some extra money from the space. I have 3 sections of tapping trees (1 each of Maple, Oak & Pine) set up on my farm (Beach). They are 4 trees across (horizontal) by 6 high (vertical). I’ve placed mushroom logs between the inner two rows of trees (vertically). 10 mushroom logs per tree type. This way I can collect the mushrooms and tree syrups in a straight (vertical) line. This set-up provides a lot of mushrooms. The inner 6 mushroom logs in each section provide 5 mushrooms each while the 4 outer logs provide 4 mushrooms each. This is every harvest. I don’t worry too much about quality as I dehydrate all but the red mushrooms. The red’s I sell outright. Moss grows on the trees and I harvest it every now and then with my sword. Since I used tree fertilizer the moss seems to come back pretty quick. Leaving the moss on the maple trees provides better quality red mushrooms which is mostly what you get from them. 138 mushroom every 4 days is pretty nice. Even if they were all common mushrooms that’s $8,775 (or $12,285 with Artisan) once dehydrated. They are not all commons. You could make more using preserve jars but that takes way longer. TL;DR Mushroom Logs between tapped trees equals nice easy profits.
One wood two sap for torches and you can see your path, crops etc before a glow ring. Ive seen so many pro SDV videos where the simplest craftable for maximum convenience is overlooked.
Tip for the first secconds of the video: If you want to remove a large quantity of machines or for the clip I'm referencing, remove a lot of wine from casks, use the hoe not the pickaxe bc the hoe can be charged saving both time and energy
My big thing is I would still definitely wait on the Ancient Seeds, but not explicitly got the Greenhouse. What I did is I would plant one on 1/1 of a year with the Deluxe Speed-Gro, so I would have my first harvest on 21/1, and then 28/1, 7/2, etc. Every single Ancient Fruit, instead of selling or processing, goes in the Seed Maker. My last harvest on 28/3, give the crop a little salute, and on 1/1 I would start the process over. I had the Greenhouse at the start of this process, but I had 40 Cranberry, Strawberry, and Blueberry plants and didn't want to lose them yet or ruin my symmetry, so I did this crap. But even without it's not terrible to have concurrently until you have the 119/120 to stock the Greenhouse. Now, I have my 119 in there (Was 120, but now I use Iridium Sprinklers with Pressure Nozzles so I don't mess up my schedule by forgetting to water ONCE) as well as a patch of 288 on my Ginger Island farmhouse. Had I had Pressure Nozzles when I started that mess, it would definitely be even bigger. I have a pull of 407, and that usually processes into 80 jars of dehydrated fruit, selling for ~500,000G on my big Sunday sells.
For those of you seeing this on the pass-by, in terms of the production-time:profit ratio, Dehydrators are WAAAAAAY more profitable for Ancient Fruit than Kegs. I have a massive rig of Dehydrators set up, and usually I'll either store the ones that don't stack for next harvest (guaranteed at least 2 Ancient Fruit that won't be divisble by 5 during processing because of the 407ct. batch size, anywhere from 2-12 will be the excess [with my method ofc], average of 6) or use Preserves Jars for some Jelly. Obviously at that point it's personal choice. I'm not a big min-maxer, but it just seemed like the obvious conclusion for me.
I recommend experienced players try for a bunch of normal sprinklers (not quality). You place them along knights moves and it works great for watering ~100-200 strawberries while you're out fishing 2nd half of Spring. Collecting the copper and iron required is more feasible than that for quality sprinklers. Just repeat mine floors 20 and 40. Don't forget Spring 6 Sat is the LAST day you can plant potatoes for harvest and shipping in time before the critical Egg Festival strawberries, as you mention. Some people fish exclusively, and while that is important, potato money is decent and the farming XP is important for preserve jars and tiller asap. Some perfection tips (having done it twice): organize your chests and consider keeping stone, wood, coal, and other crafting/Robin building ingredients in your inventory most of the time. Simplify your daily routine. Cut out refilling any useless machines, unless you enjoy the routine, you do you. Realize how much time you save daily by reducing how much you spend thinking, retrieving, and depositing into chests. Maximize your useful machines by buying lots of wood, iron, coal, and planting tree farms in Desert, Quarry, and Railroad. And finally, prioritize the Special Orders quests (starts Fall year 1) above most other activities. Some of these yield crafting recipes which are necessary for perfection, and if you fail a request you'll have to wait for it to come around again.
It’s crazy how one little action like hoeing the wrong spaces, can have such a knock on effect. More time spend watering, less time spent doing other stuff etc Idk I love Stardew for being so laid back, but if you’re trying to minmax a little it gets so stressful so quickly 😂
Heck yes… I have to make daily outlines otherwise I’m going to mess something up.🤣It’s incredibly stressful depending on what you’re aiming for. I really appreciate Stardew for offering different levels of gameplay with challenging content though. It’s why I love it so much!
When setting up your greenhouse for ancient fruit, do not use any fertilizers. Speed grow stops working after the initial growth cycle, and normal fertilizer does nothing when making wine. Instead wait until you can make Deluxe retaining soil, it can be used even on the fully grown crops and will let you remove all sprinklers from the greenhouse spaces.
8:05 honestly wish there was more info about the Alleyway Buffet, since I didn’t find it properly and only found it in my 1.6 perfection run buying it from the bookseller in year 3+ instead of only with gold tools as I’ve found in my new playthrough thru the joja route
My SO is making keg money year 1 with mushroom logs.......so.... keep that in mind? I told him to start a hardwood farm & it kinda snowballed from there. ¼ of his farm is just trees & mushroom logs
Perfection is simply a bajillion times easier going Joja route. Getting Greenhouse by week 2 (easily doable with just one extra rainy day, catfish smoker goes BRRRRRRRR) is absurdly profitable. Planting the full greenhouse with Strawberries is the biggest no-effort money-printer there is.
I can’t stand knowing I’ll make Granny Evelyn cry. 😭I don’t know if I can bring myself to do it. But I have to do it for the Steam achievement so…one day!
Did you use a Perfection tracker or spreadsheet? Especially for the cooking recipe ingredients requirements? If anyone else know of some resources, let me know! Thanks!
I used the Stardew Wiki & things I’ve learned through my own trial & error. I create my own spreadsheets (and Wickedy has a few!) and track things in a note on my phone (for example, keeping track of Golden Walnuts). I write them all down. Hope this helps!
personally I got like 5 mini fridges and filled them up until every recipe was craftable in the cooking interface (just be sure to remove the specific fishes before you start)
I think I’ll take it slower than you, I don’t really know what makes perfection but I’m now just in summer on my farm with almost 9000 total earned gold (i was rather proud of this but a friend saw and said “only 8000 gold by the end of spring….” so it’s not so good as i thought) but I’m liking this game… im happy to take a long long time, and good job on completing the game so fast ❤ And yeah, a beginner tips video would be nice, there’s a lot out there but i find that WAY too many focus on speed or maximising profit,, whereas when i speak to people about this game i’ll learn stuff like “you can move your shipping bin around if you go to Robin”, or “trees can spread seeds around even if they’re only stumps” and, genuinely, stuff like that is way more valuable - to me at least, perhaps it’s different for other beginners.
I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the game. It's important to take your time with it and enjoy it at your own pace!☺and ty for the feedback :3 you're right there's a lot of (overwhelming) information out there...if I make a beginner tips video, I hope it can be of use!
I managed to reach perfection in year 3 so here are some 1.6 tips for early game: 1. Do not plant anything in your first spring. It takes wayyy to much energy and its not that great of a money maker in early game. Instead, make money fishing and get the bus fixed really early so you can plant starfruit in summer Y1. 2. Now, how does one make $42.500 fishing? well, fishing in the ocean is not so profitable(in spring) BUT it is fairly easy, you can get to level 3 in just one day and make enough money to upgrade your fishing rod to the fiberglass one. Day 3 is always raining so go get some catfish, best location is the cindersap forest since you can also catch chug(good for regaining energy). Once you reach level 6, craft a baitmaker to make catfish bait. Combine that with a fish smoker. 3. Stay up until 2 am, the extra time is really worth it. You’ll loose a bit of money but is not much, especially if you don’t have money at all ;). 4. I know I said you shouldn’t plant anything in spring Y1 but if you’re worried about leveling up, plant Kale, it gives a good amount of xp. 5. Don’t chop your trees al the way down until you get at least a silver axe. The log takes to much energy and it doesn’t get you much wood. 6. Backpack upgrade can wait. keep chests in your favorite fishing locations and in the mines. I’ll update this comment if I come up with more tips :) hope this helps Oh and english is not my first language so im sorry if reading this confused you, I tried my best
this sounds like a difficulty challenge to me LOL purposely not planting anything OR not buying the bag upgrade in the first season sounds absolutely WILD to me. I do agree fishing makes the most monies :3 tip #3 & #5 are pretty good too, I just didn't include them.
@ Yes it sound crazy but it is totally worth it, watering plants takes so much energy. Oh and maybe I wasn’t clear but you can buy the backpack upgrade, just don’t rush it. Following this tips I unlocked the desert on day 18 of spring Y1 and I have enough money to buy at least 100 seeds of starfruit for summer😸
Wow, you only have to kill 80 bugs to get the Insect Head now? It's been so long since I last played Stardew Valley, I had no idea they reduced the requirement by so much. And not only did they decrease it from 125 bugs to only 80, it's also been buffed quite a bit, from Level 4 dealing 10-20 damage, to now Level 6 dealing 20-30 damage. It's actually worth getting now.
OMG it kills me when I watch this I'm doing my 4th play threw and at the end of fall first year and I don't have any animals except chickens lol 😅 I'm trying to get better but damn seeing this makes me feel like a complete newbie... lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣 💀
Yes it’s wild! Get Caroline to 2 hearts and then go into her sunroom (door at the back of the kitchen in her house) on a sunny day. You’ll get a cut scene with her and the next day the recipe in the mail. Honestly it’s a banging way for profit.
Extra tip: Keep a few strawberries so you can throw them in a seed maker later on and have them growing for all of spring year 2
YES🍓 I also want to try having enough monies for a few fields of Rhubarb by year 2 the next time I try for perfection.
I got an ancient seed on fitst year spring i already got 2 with 1 golden quality for the joja package lmao thoo i kinda trashed melon ones i miss 1 golden and i think im too late to get it fixed-
I wanted greenhouse first rip-
I don't think it's worth it, it's much more worth it to use the money to plant lots of blueberries or starfruit with the money from the strawberries, in year 2 you won't even need the strawberries as much, especially If you have the Island
So it may not be optimal, but if you're planning on planting ancient fruit in the greenhouse, getting the T3 retaining soil recipe from ginger island can make things a tiny bit more efficient. It'll let you plant in all 120 tillable spaces and you'll only have to water them once.
Fun tip earth crystals are great for friendship as they are liked by all but 2 people and they duplicate in crystalariums quickly
Hmm…. I wish I had placed Jade(staircases)/Diamonds(money/loved gifts) into my first Crystalarium, actually.
Fruits also give a decent gift for most people (fruit cave ftw)
After 1000 hours in this game, you sound exactly how frustrated I am with messing up new runs! Thanks for the info!
It can be super overwhelming but it’s so fun and worth it once you get going! Glad you enjoyed the video.💖
More strawberries, got it. Jk the sprinkler one is an absolute lifesaver! Ever since you told me about that tip, it has completely transformed my Summer 1
Best tip in this video imo and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner?? yikes ty for watching! :3
The thing that enabled me to get perfection before the end of year 3 was preserves jars, and aiming to put every single piece of fruit besides Salmon berries through one asap.

Mushroom logs. Do not sleep on these. If you are setting up a tree tapping farm they slot in very nicely. Especially with the dehydrator.

on tip 1., you should really learn the pattern for basic sprinklers. Sure it's awkward at first but can automate your field so much sooner!

Now, how does one make $42.500 fishing? well, fishing in the ocean is not so profitable(in spring) BUT it is fairly easy, you can get to level 3 in just one day and make enough money to upgrade your fishing rod to the fiberglass one. Day 3 is always raining so go get some catfish, best location is the cindersap forest since you can also catch chug(good for regaining energy). Once you reach level 6, craft a baitmaker to make catfish bait. Combine that with a fish smoker.
3. Stay up until 2 am, the extra time is really worth it. You’ll loose a bit of money but is not much, especially if you don’t have money at all ;).
4. I know I said you shouldn’t plant anything in spring Y1 but if you’re worried about leveling up, plant Kale, it gives a good amount of xp.
5. Don’t chop your trees al the way down until you get at least a silver axe. The log takes to much energy and it doesn’t get you much wood.
6. Backpack upgrade can wait. keep chests in your favorite fishing locations and in the mines.
I’ll update this comment if I come up with more tips :) hope this helps
Oh and english is not my first language so im sorry if reading this confused you, I tried my best
this sounds like a difficulty challenge to me LOL purposely not planting anything OR not buying the bag upgrade in the first season sounds absolutely WILD to me. I do agree fishing makes the most monies :3 tip #3 & #5 are pretty good too, I just didn't include them.
@ Yes it sound crazy but it is totally worth it, watering plants takes so much energy. Oh and maybe I wasn’t clear but you can buy the backpack upgrade, just don’t rush it.
Following this tips I unlocked the desert on day 18 of spring Y1 and I have enough money to buy at least 100 seeds of starfruit for summer😸
I’m so glad I’ve never done these.
I’m making my own 100 days video and ik it wouldn’t have gone as good if I did these😭😭
Doing perfection first time and choosing the beach farm, no sprinkler worries here 😂
I thought the beach farm was soooo frustrating. Pretty sure I made it to summer but I was always broke. I’d love to try it again one day!
I'm just getting into the game I haven't beaten it yet but I love the game n watching videos like these, tho my biggest problem is that I hate fishing
thank you for watching🥰Fishing definitely gets easier with practice but there are auto fishing mods you can download too! welcome to Stardew!
@madamemoonie i unfortunately play on console so no mods for me but ty
im new to this game, and theres so much to learn about !😨
I’m honestly so envious! I wish I could experience this game as a new player all over again.💖 Take your time with it and enjoy it.
Wow, you only have to kill 80 bugs to get the Insect Head now? It's been so long since I last played Stardew Valley, I had no idea they reduced the requirement by so much. And not only did they decrease it from 125 bugs to only 80, it's also been buffed quite a bit, from Level 4 dealing 10-20 damage, to now Level 6 dealing 20-30 damage. It's actually worth getting now.
I'm not a pro but I did managed to get perfection y2 so this is my take: basic sprinklers are so underrated, iridium sprinklers are overrated
9:24 how do you get that FABULOUS hat?
😂😂 do you mean the frog hat? It’s in the Gourmand’s cave on Ginger Island!
OMG it kills me when I watch this I'm doing my 4th play threw and at the end of fall first year and I don't have any animals except chickens lol 😅 I'm trying to get better but damn seeing this makes me feel like a complete newbie... lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣 💀
Nice ❤❤
thank you ❤️❤️
I had no idea there was a tea sapling W A T.
YEAH used to just sell it for 500g :3 ez monies
Yes it’s wild! Get Caroline to 2 hearts and then go into her sunroom (door at the back of the kitchen in her house) on a sunny day. You’ll get a cut scene with her and the next day the recipe in the mail. Honestly it’s a banging way for profit.

Carried me through the mines! Halfway through spring and the mines are done! Woo!
Slama is cool
