Fun fact! The Mystic Stone CAN be found in the quarry if you are incredibly lucky! It’s where I found my first and only one, and where I got my first prismatic shard!
I found two there. And got prismatic shard on both. Then I decided to stop playing the game for a year or so, forget about prismatic shard save, delete every save in the game, starting a new one, and never found it ever again. I'm sad.
Dude, I'm not even playing Stradew Valley, but I've been waching your videos for allmost a year now. The way you present your intel, make good looking graphics and exlain them in detail shows how much effort and love you put into your videos. And that is really satisfying. Good stuff man.
Not sure if someone else mentioned it already, but the crystalarium can duplicate any mineral/gem EXCEPT for the prismatic shard. Since you showed the screen and it had a prismatic shard on it, that could be confusing. A real shame that you can't but in game I can see why lol
Late game you should be able to upgrade the crystalarium with radioactive ores and be able to duplicate prismatic shards. Just make it take comically long to do so. (Like 28 in game days)
I wanted to add for the mystic stone they can also spawn in the Quarry area aswell! I only know this because that's where I found my very first prismatic shard :D
Yup, there is a 25% chance to get a prismatic shard from one of the mystic stones. You can guarantee a prismatic shard from one of these stones in the quarry. Just start the day and go break the stone, if you don’t get a prismatic shard… reset the day and go about whatever you want for the day. Go to bed, and then try again the next day. I had 4 mystic stones in my recent play through and within 2 weeks (didn’t check every day) I had 4 prismatic shards.
15:33 Mussels are actually classified as fish so they can be used to make sushi! That makes the mussel nodes a great source of easy food that passively replenishes and if you collect a bunch of them while waiting for the Qi Cuisine quest you can turn them all into sushi and sell them without it costing any money for seeds/ingredients :)) 💕
Dude, you are hands down one of the best SV uploaders on RUclips. DF and Shark and others were the old guard, and as they retired from the game after thousands of hours played, some of the older uploaders dropped away (when Dangerously Funny quit Stardew Valley I was devastated) due to burn out and the new generation slowly took over. I have over 2000 hours myself split between PS4 and Switch and I’ve only taken one hiatus, SV is my favourite video game ever made. We now have Salmence, Wickedy, ezilily, CharleyBarley, mGaud, SeanieDew, and many more _awesome_ SV content producers that I’m rudely forgetting (if I left you out, please know that if you ever focused on SV as a gaming RUclipsr, I know of you and love what you do!). This newer generation is picking up where a lot the old guard left off and let me just say that you guys make the most entertaining videos! From your challenges, Speedruns, Min/Maxing, Guides for every skill and area in the game, Easter Egg hunting (not Spring 13 eggs, but game secrets and obscure techniques), everything you guys do is just tops. Keep up the great work! By the way, I’m sure there are a few people who never stopped playing and never stopped uploading but Stardew is the type of game that hooks you VERY effectively and playing it can be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Thus, one can easily overplay it, burn out, and stop wanting to upload gameplay of it. Plus, gamers change up their “mains” every now and again. It’s the nature of the hobby. I returned to the game in the last few months after an extended hiatus for similar burnout type reasons... that and I was playing it sunup to sundown and my wife of 18 years was, for the first time ever, telling me that even for me, this was too much video games. Hehe. Now I’m back at a normal pace. Kind Regards from NS, Canada, and God Bless ConcernedApe / Eric Barone for making this absolute masterpiece all on his own! May the game flourish for many decades to come! Take care! -Beardless Odin P.S. Thanks for teaching me about mushroom trees and how you need regular trees on your farm for them to transform into one in your older video! I now finally have two of them! Deforestation is my thing but I’ve learned that both in game and IRL, there are consequences!
Another rock type is the light grey rocks (you have them pictured in the screenshot of the quarry where you talk about geode rocks). They take fewer hits to break than regular rocks, and can occur in the mines and skull caverns (and I think volcano?). They only produce stone, but they give 1exp per rock instead of 0. They are useful if you have a low-level pick axe in the lower mines levels, as they break more easily than the native rocks as well as giving the exp. The most boring rock, but very noticeable if you use a mod which shows exp gain - I always end up seeking them out to get the small boost!
@@genevievefangirl that’s interesting! I thought maybe they were actually somehow farm rocks (which the video said gives one exp), but they’re actually a totally distinct rock type!
@@Noonsal I'm glad you mentioned this. I tend to rush the mines without upgrading my pickaxe and I always seek out these rocks because they're faster to mine!
About the crystalarium: be careful walking holding any gems close to them. You can accidentally put an aquamarine inside one that is replicating diamonds then you lose your diamond. Very sad.
Or worse, you put your quartz crystallarium too close to your other ones, collect the quartz for your bomb stash and then bump into a jade crystallarium ...
thankfully this was changed in the newest update! now you have to break the crystallarium to switch the gem inside, making sure you get the original back :)
Just an fyi there no artifacts that only appear in artifact troves, they just might have a higher percentage chance for some items or help find ones that have very specific spawn locations
Did you forget about the grey rocks in the mines? they're a special case, they fit into i think the 2nd tier of rock consistently regardless of the mine you're in, they always produce one stone, and have a chance for 2 stone plus the usual chances for coal i think. They're of note because of their ease to break in later floors or skull cavern as no matter what as long as you have copper pick or higher they are a 1 hit break. Seeing lot of people also mentioning the quarry for Mystic stones, i believe there's either a guaranteed one or a very good chance for one to spawn there at least once. It seems to occur frequently but it would require testing or data *mining* to confirm.
I was looking at the gemstone cluster before you had started to explain it and thought, "Wow, after all these years there's still something new I'm learning. I have NEVER seen whatever stone that is!!!" xD
For the pickaxe hits: I believe it goes that one hit of a copper/steel/gold/iridium pickaxe counts as 2/3/4/5 hits from a basic one, hence the numbers on the chart.
Don’t worry about it taking so long!! I’m just glad you chose to break it up to make it easier on yourself. It also makes it easier to digest the information, lol. I love your videos and they help a lot, thank you Salmence!!!
Just started playing it, seems like a lot to the game so I should check out a guide. Your intro won me over, I’ll actually subscribe for that lmao. Very well thought out.
just wanted to say, i love and appreciate that you give a warning before you talk about ginger island content. i havent even finished the CC yet but these guides help a lot without spoilering me!
Salmence, you are the best. I’ve watched all the videos in this series and they’ve all been delightful and super informative. Can’t wait to see the combat video 🤞🏻
16:09 The recipe for 100% retaining soil includes clay. When i was trying to get 100% ofy ginger island farm with that, the clay node was very helpful.
I don't know WHAT one of my farms was drinking but I found a mystic stone in my first skull cavern run, my first visit to the quarry and my SECOND visit to the quarry, all 3 times I got a prismatic shard
You changed the intro!!! ❤❤❤ love it! I was listening thinking.... somethings different. Appreciate all the hard work you put into these guides!!! Ty ty ❤
Looking at the pickaxe chart, it looks like the ordering is just 1/n from the basic pickaxe, rounded up. Copper is 1/2, iron 1/3, gold 1/4, iridium 1/5. The only one that breaks this trend is omni geodes with the iron pickaxe by the looks of it edit-looks like other people already caught it, my bad for repeating, still not sure what's going on with omni geode nodes though, unless it's just a typo in the video or bug
@@salmence100 I would suggest checking again. The code sets "minutesUntilReady" to 8 when creating it, and the code when using the pickaxe calculates damage as Math.Max(1, (int)base.upgradeLevel + 1) + this.additionalPower.Value. And when I tested it, I got 3 hits.
15 MINUTES AGOO DUUUDEEE IM PLAYING THIS GAME ON MOBILE AND I WAS SO CONFUSED ABOUT SOME SITUATIONS ABOUT MINING TY SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN WIATING FOR THIS
I'd say something about the determination involved in getting radioactive ore with an unupgraded pickaxe, but I've spent more time than I want to admit throwing rocks in Horizon Zero Dawn for science.
Me after watching your video: found Diamond node on Level 5, found Prismatic Shard on Level 11 dropped by one of the monsters, found 4 Mystic Stones in the Quarry using chair trick before mining carts were repaired - damn I have a good game! :))))) I noticed that if you progress really fast the game will do one of two things - it will either do all in its power to make you fail including cheating (your items falling into water when water is 5+ tiles away) or it will encourage you and give you stuff that usually comes much later on. During Day one I met all of the villager available to be met on that day went to Secret Woods planted most crops needed for initial Community Center bundles picked all available forages and gave people gifts. I ran like mad from 6 am to 2 pm. However in the next few days I started getting the unusual awards :)
I dunno how, but I found 2 of that super rare node you mentioned not finding. First time was at the volcano, where it broke with 1 swing (Steel Pickaxe), while it took 3 swings to destroy it at the Quarry with Gold Pickaxe.
I would like to mention an iridium pickaxe with the powerful enchantment makes rocks take less hits to break, i think making iridium nodes take 3 hits instead of 4
15:30 " as expected, they give you mussels" Thought that was obvious. I mean you swing around a pickaxe all day, of course you're going to get stronger 💪
Love the inclusion of the max lair lobby music, lol. Actually there in game while watching this, confused me as to why I could hear my switch’s sound all of a sudden.
I'm pretty sure i just mined a mystic stone in the quarry which is insane, it was the first one I've found and it dropped a prismatic stone! Between that, the abundance of amethysts I got at the beginning to court Abigail and the rabbit's foot as the very first rabbit drop, I'm beginning to think Stardew is the only game where luck is on my side XD
Not-so-pro tip!: When you unlock skull cavern, you'll want to maximize the amount of floors you can do in one run, so do this: The desert trader trades one spicy eel for a ruby, so set up one to three crystalariums, and wait two days (in game ofc). Then set up one to six crystalariums with jades, because on sundays, the desert trader offers one ladder for one jade. And the ladders are A HUUUGE resource, if you want to maximize ur floors. (Even though, try to do smaller numbers than six, because if I'm not wrong, the crystalarium is crafted with irudium, hard resource to find if you're just starting skull cavern)
Literally had just started up your latest modded VOD on twitch when I got this alert lol I was hoping you'd continue this series! Mining and combat are the parts I have the most trouble with, honestly
I find the simpler way to think of rocks is in stone health and pickaxe strength. The stone health varies from 1 to 25 (that I have found), and that depends on location. e.g. Copper ore in normal mines has a health of 3. In the dangerous mines it is 6, and in skull cavern it is 2. Each time a pickaxe hits a stone, it subtracts its upgrade level + 1. This means the copper pickaxe takes 1/2 as many hits, an iron pickaxe takes 1/3, a gold pickaxe takes 1/4, an iridium pickaxe takes 1/5 and an enchanted (powerful) iridium pickaxe takes 1/6. This also means the upgrade to copper halves the number of hits, while the upgrade from gold to iridium means you take 4/5 the number of hits (80%). For example a copper pickaxe can break a copper ore in skull cavern in 1 hit, but a iron one is needed in the mines, and an enchanted Iridium one is needed for dangerous mines. The gems can be found on any floor once you reach the bottom. (With jade being half as likely as the rest). The purple stone can give any of the 7 main gems, including diamond. And the number of hits it takes to break varies depending upon where it is. Sometimes it will take 1. I assume you found your test case on floor 80-120. The same applies to mystic stones, with the number of hits to break one depends on where it is. In the mines it will be 4. In skull cavern it will be 5. Most rocks can be found on floors divisible by 5. This includes gem stones, mystic stones, and purple rocks. It is primarily the metal ores (and radioactive) that can't.
I want to mention a different kind of stone, it can be mined in one hit by copper picks and above, they're more lustrous than the normal stone and give more than one stone, i break these in skull cavern before iridium puckaxe
Oh, this should include the meteor that can rarely show up on your farm. According to the wiki: - The event has a 1% chance to happen... but it picks a random 3x3 space on your farm, then checks to see if at least 2x2 of it is open enough/passable. It will not land on things that block movement, such as buildings, water, or fences. However, crops and crafted paths don't block movement and thus are fair game; a few players have had their hearts broken when their Sweet Gem Berries got obliterated. - You will hear a booming noise overnight, and then in the morning the message "An explosion was heard in the night..." - It requires a gold pickaxe or better to break. With the gold pickaxe it takes 7 hits; with the iridium pickaxe it takes 6. - When you break it you get 6 iridium ore, 6 stone, and 6 geodes (yes, normal regular geodes). In other words, it's not worth rushing a gold pickaxe for, unless you wanted to put something else right there.
11:11 The ratios still have a pattern! Base to copper is 1/2, copper to steel is 2/3, steel to gold is 3/4, and gold to iridium is 4/5 (with one exception going from 2 to 1)
You should do pros and cons for all devices. Some pros for mobile include: 1. Auto attack (but only for weapons. It doesn't work with scythe) 2. Auto tool select (for example, if you want to break a rock, rather than selecting your pickaxe first then the rock, you can tap on the rock, and it'll immediately switch to pickaxe. This doesn't work for everything, though.) 3. Being able to have empty hands. (On PC, you have to have a space in your inventory selected at all times, but on mobile, you don't have to.) 4. Item spawning. (Mobile and PC are the only devices that can use the item spawning glitch. 5. Auto save. (If you close the app without going to bed, you'll be given the open to return to where you left off next time you open the app. 6. Auto pathing. (You can tap anywhere on the screen, and if it's possible for your character to get there, it will go there on its own. It's great for when you first start and have a messy farm or the haunted maze. Though the path isn't always the most optimal) 7. You can pan. On other devices, if you're zoomed out all the way, that's all you can see, but with mobile, you can move the camera around a bit to see more. Cons: 1. There's no multi player. (Which means you also won't be able to build cabins) 2. It's much more difficult to access screenshot. (For whatever reason, if you take a screenshot, it goes to the data folder, but you can't access the data folder unless you connect your phone to a computer.) 3. You can't use special moves. (this makes the powerful enchantment and acrobat useless. While on other devices, a club is better, a sword is better on mobile for this reason) 4. Fishing bug. (In order to fish on mobile, you have to have your fishing rod selected and press and hold on the water similar to how you fish on other devices, but sometimes, if you tap on the water, it'll have you walk somewhere. If you're fishing, this gets really annoying. 5. You can't fish diagonally. (On other devices, you press the arrows to move the rod, but mobile doesn't have that. That means if there's a bubble spot on a corner, you won't be able to access it.) 6. Panning is much harder. In order to pan on mobile, you have to have your copper pan selected and tap on the panning spot, but the hit box is so small you may end to tapping several times only for it to disappear)
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, but I need a bit more experience with the mobile game to really make a good video on it. It’s in the plans though!
Funny interaction I JUST noticed. You can use bombs to mine trees, each explosion being worth 2 ax swings. But 1 bomb can instantly break any rock, being worth up to 25 pickaxe swings. (At least 16. I've never tried breaking radioactive ore with a bomb)
i found the mystic rock on my first ever farm at the quarry and got a prismatic shard!! … to which i then gave to gunther because i didn’t know what the galaxy hammer was
I have a small detail regarding mining xp and dust sprites, whenever a dust sprite breaks something that gives mining xp the player gets the xp. In multiplayer all players get the xp even if they arent in the mine.
I love mining. I just started playing this game again and am doing a no farming/Joja run. I'm spending a lot of time in the mines. I was going to try a foraging only/Joja run, but it's been a while since I've played and want to ease back into things
I’m pretty sure each rock type has a number of “health”; the amount of hits it takes to break with a normal pickaxe (eg. Normal rocks with 1 & copper ore with 3) and that each pickaxe upgrade does more “damage” to every rock (so normal with 1, copper with 2, silver with 3, gold with 4 and iridium with 5). Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s just how I’ve imagined it playing the game and I think it works with that graph.
Been playing 14hours Just found out sprinkles are a thing . I've done nothing but water plants the whole time can't wait to try the mines and the other stuff
I didn't realize the mystic stone was so rare, i've found them in the quarry at least twice and a few more times in the mines, I guess I have insane luck lmao.
OMG i have always been told you lose whatever is in the crystalarium if you need to switch gems. I swear I've played hundreds upon hundreds of hours and i still learn something new every week.
10:00 totally random but this helps me out a ton. I have given the scrolls to him as a gift. I gave him all 4 and it didnt work. Didnt knew I had to donate it to the museum. Also for some reason I keep getting scroll nr3. I have that one 5 times. I found one other but the last 2 are just no where to be found... I wish didnt gifted him the scrolls but just donated it to the museum...
My first play through I unlocked the quarry, got a mystic stone on the first day, and inside was a prismatic shard. That was some serious luck. I’ve never got another prismatic shard from the quarry since then/
Fun fact! The Mystic Stone CAN be found in the quarry if you are incredibly lucky! It’s where I found my first and only one, and where I got my first prismatic shard!
I tend to find one there in my playthrough once I've unlocked the quarry. It's really the only spot where I've seen it.

I found one there too! I didn't know it was rare lol
Same here! (i got it on my first day of spring with the chair trick ...)
yeah, actually me too!
For anyone coming to this vid after 1.6: Geode Crusher both no longer takes coal, nor does it copy the last geode opened by Clint
8:48 I believe the silver trash can is different so it’s easier to differentiate from the regular one

Me after watching your video: found Diamond node on Level 5, found Prismatic Shard on Level 11 dropped by one of the monsters, found 4 Mystic Stones in the Quarry using chair trick before mining carts were repaired - damn I have a good game! :))))) I noticed that if you progress really fast the game will do one of two things - it will either do all in its power to make you fail including cheating (your items falling into water when water is 5+ tiles away) or it will encourage you and give you stuff that usually comes much later on. During Day one I met all of the villager available to be met on that day went to Secret Woods planted most crops needed for initial Community Center bundles picked all available forages and gave people gifts. I ran like mad from 6 am to 2 pm. However in the next few days I started getting the unusual awards :)
I dunno how, but I found 2 of that super rare node you mentioned not finding. First time was at the volcano, where it broke with 1 swing (Steel Pickaxe), while it took 3 swings to destroy it at the Quarry with Gold Pickaxe.
Somehow, I have gotten 2 prismatic shards from killing enemies in the mines
I just got one from kill a bug larva and I’m shook!! 😂
After reaching the bottom, you get a tiny chance per slain monster - ANY monster. So I've gotten them from green slimes.
Man this video rocks!
Bro lmao
A true gem ❤
A real diamond in the rough
I would like to mention an iridium pickaxe with the powerful enchantment makes rocks take less hits to break, i think making iridium nodes take 3 hits instead of 4
AH! I completely forgot about it!
I love powerful on the pickaxe. Fewer button presses for the win!
15:30 " as expected, they give you mussels"
Thought that was obvious. I mean you swing around a pickaxe all day, of course you're going to get stronger 💪
not those mussels, these muscles!
@@slwrabbits 💪💪💪
I like the Avatar The Last Airbender opening for this video!
This intro was perfect, thank you.
Love the inclusion of the max lair lobby music, lol. Actually there in game while watching this, confused me as to why I could hear my switch’s sound all of a sudden.
I'm pretty sure i just mined a mystic stone in the quarry which is insane, it was the first one I've found and it dropped a prismatic stone! Between that, the abundance of amethysts I got at the beginning to court Abigail and the rabbit's foot as the very first rabbit drop, I'm beginning to think Stardew is the only game where luck is on my side XD
Nice video, the Ducktales' moon level soundtrack is a nice touch!
holy crap thank you for your service!!
Not-so-pro tip!:
When you unlock skull cavern, you'll want to maximize the amount of floors you can do in one run, so do this:
The desert trader trades one spicy eel for a ruby, so set up one to three crystalariums, and wait two days (in game ofc).
Then set up one to six crystalariums with jades, because on sundays, the desert trader offers one ladder for one jade. And the ladders are A HUUUGE resource, if you want to maximize ur floors.
(Even though, try to do smaller numbers than six, because if I'm not wrong, the crystalarium is crafted with irudium, hard resource to find if you're just starting skull cavern)
(Ik this is a common thing, but it rlly helped me :D)
Literally had just started up your latest modded VOD on twitch when I got this alert lol I was hoping you'd continue this series! Mining and combat are the parts I have the most trouble with, honestly
No matter how long it takes, I do intend on finishing up all of the skills!
I find the simpler way to think of rocks is in stone health and pickaxe strength.
The stone health varies from 1 to 25 (that I have found), and that depends on location. e.g. Copper ore in normal mines has a health of 3. In the dangerous mines it is 6, and in skull cavern it is 2.
Each time a pickaxe hits a stone, it subtracts its upgrade level + 1.
This means the copper pickaxe takes 1/2 as many hits, an iron pickaxe takes 1/3, a gold pickaxe takes 1/4, an iridium pickaxe takes 1/5 and an enchanted (powerful) iridium pickaxe takes 1/6.
This also means the upgrade to copper halves the number of hits, while the upgrade from gold to iridium means you take 4/5 the number of hits (80%).
For example a copper pickaxe can break a copper ore in skull cavern in 1 hit, but a iron one is needed in the mines, and an enchanted Iridium one is needed for dangerous mines.
The gems can be found on any floor once you reach the bottom. (With jade being half as likely as the rest).
The purple stone can give any of the 7 main gems, including diamond. And the number of hits it takes to break varies depending upon where it is. Sometimes it will take 1.
I assume you found your test case on floor 80-120.
The same applies to mystic stones, with the number of hits to break one depends on where it is. In the mines it will be 4. In skull cavern it will be 5.
Most rocks can be found on floors divisible by 5. This includes gem stones, mystic stones, and purple rocks. It is primarily the metal ores (and radioactive) that can't.
Just a small correction. While boulders in the mine give 10 stone, they actually give 15 stone on the farm.
I want to mention a different kind of stone, it can be mined in one hit by copper picks and above, they're more lustrous than the normal stone and give more than one stone, i break these in skull cavern before iridium puckaxe
i really love how much work you put into your videos, and your calming voice! thank you
8:48 I feel like that's because you could mix up the normal trash with steel trash
Omg, I love the intro! Atla is my childhood favorite series!
Thanks! I was on an Avatar binge watch when I decided to make it lol
Oh, this should include the meteor that can rarely show up on your farm. According to the wiki:
- The event has a 1% chance to happen... but it picks a random 3x3 space on your farm, then checks to see if at least 2x2 of it is open enough/passable. It will not land on things that block movement, such as buildings, water, or fences. However, crops and crafted paths don't block movement and thus are fair game; a few players have had their hearts broken when their Sweet Gem Berries got obliterated.
- You will hear a booming noise overnight, and then in the morning the message "An explosion was heard in the night..."
- It requires a gold pickaxe or better to break. With the gold pickaxe it takes 7 hits; with the iridium pickaxe it takes 6.
- When you break it you get 6 iridium ore, 6 stone, and 6 geodes (yes, normal regular geodes). In other words, it's not worth rushing a gold pickaxe for, unless you wanted to put something else right there.
I was tired of coal being scarce so I set up a bunch of wood chippers and charcoal kilns in my backwoods.
Huh, the secret woods would also be an interesting place to do that. Infinite hardwood -> wood -> coal.
Absolutely LOVED the intro ❤
11:11 The ratios still have a pattern! Base to copper is 1/2, copper to steel is 2/3, steel to gold is 3/4, and gold to iridium is 4/5 (with one exception going from 2 to 1)
You should do pros and cons for all devices.
Some pros for mobile include:
1. Auto attack (but only for weapons. It doesn't work with scythe)
2. Auto tool select (for example, if you want to break a rock, rather than selecting your pickaxe first then the rock, you can tap on the rock, and it'll immediately switch to pickaxe. This doesn't work for everything, though.)
3. Being able to have empty hands. (On PC, you have to have a space in your inventory selected at all times, but on mobile, you don't have to.)
4. Item spawning. (Mobile and PC are the only devices that can use the item spawning glitch.
5. Auto save. (If you close the app without going to bed, you'll be given the open to return to where you left off next time you open the app.
6. Auto pathing. (You can tap anywhere on the screen, and if it's possible for your character to get there, it will go there on its own. It's great for when you first start and have a messy farm or the haunted maze. Though the path isn't always the most optimal)
7. You can pan. On other devices, if you're zoomed out all the way, that's all you can see, but with mobile, you can move the camera around a bit to see more.
Cons:
1. There's no multi player. (Which means you also won't be able to build cabins)
2. It's much more difficult to access screenshot. (For whatever reason, if you take a screenshot, it goes to the data folder, but you can't access the data folder unless you connect your phone to a computer.)
3. You can't use special moves. (this makes the powerful enchantment and acrobat useless. While on other devices, a club is better, a sword is better on mobile for this reason)
4. Fishing bug. (In order to fish on mobile, you have to have your fishing rod selected and press and hold on the water similar to how you fish on other devices, but sometimes, if you tap on the water, it'll have you walk somewhere. If you're fishing, this gets really annoying.
5. You can't fish diagonally. (On other devices, you press the arrows to move the rod, but mobile doesn't have that. That means if there's a bubble spot on a corner, you won't be able to access it.)
6. Panning is much harder. In order to pan on mobile, you have to have your copper pan selected and tap on the panning spot, but the hit box is so small you may end to tapping several times only for it to disappear)
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, but I need a bit more experience with the mobile game to really make a good video on it. It’s in the plans though!
Funny interaction I JUST noticed. You can use bombs to mine trees, each explosion being worth 2 ax swings. But 1 bomb can instantly break any rock, being worth up to 25 pickaxe swings. (At least 16. I've never tried breaking radioactive ore with a bomb)
i found the mystic rock on my first ever farm at the quarry and got a prismatic shard!! … to which i then gave to gunther because i didn’t know what the galaxy hammer was
Should mention that if you really want a lot of refined quartz easily, put fire quartz into crystlariums.
yeah I got many mystic stones in the quarry
I think the mystic stones can also spawn in the quarry, I found one there once
I have a small detail regarding mining xp and dust sprites, whenever a dust sprite breaks something that gives mining xp the player gets the xp. In multiplayer all players get the xp even if they arent in the mine.
I just started playing this game bro and this intro go hard
Title: the ultimate mining guide.
What I got: how to break up with people.
I love mining. I just started playing this game again and am doing a no farming/Joja run. I'm spending a lot of time in the mines.
I was going to try a foraging only/Joja run, but it's been a while since I've played and want to ease back into things
I love this series
Thanks for informing us all!
I’m pretty sure each rock type has a number of “health”; the amount of hits it takes to break with a normal pickaxe (eg. Normal rocks with 1 & copper ore with 3) and that each pickaxe upgrade does more “damage” to every rock (so normal with 1, copper with 2, silver with 3, gold with 4 and iridium with 5). Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s just how I’ve imagined it playing the game and I think it works with that graph.
Been playing 14hours Just found out sprinkles are a thing . I've done nothing but water plants the whole time can't wait to try the mines and the other stuff
You theoretically forgot the meteor when listing the rocks :)
Fantastic video! The testing and editing are impressive! Kudos. ❤👍
HOW DID I NOT KNOW YOU COULD SMELT QUARTZ?! I only thought refined quarts was gotten from the recycling machine and from enemies
Damn good work you've done, nifty guide fur sure. Rock and stone!
not sure if anyone has said this yet but the gem node that gives you one of the random gems can also give you a diamond.
I love this opening.
The Intro is the best!
I got my first ever prismatic shard from a Mystic Stone in the quarry!
Bro that intro was amazing 😂
13:40 I'm dying at this part 😂 "And I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on earth to do this, it takes 25 hits with the regular pickaxe to break" 😂
I didn't realize the mystic stone was so rare, i've found them in the quarry at least twice and a few more times in the mines, I guess I have insane luck lmao.
17:40 I've also found a mystic stone at the quarry.
i only got mistyc stones in the quarry, all 3 of them, two gave me prismatic shard in early game, and i never saw them again later on
OMG i have always been told you lose whatever is in the crystalarium if you need to switch gems. I swear I've played hundreds upon hundreds of hours and i still learn something new every week.
This a badass guide dude thank you
LOVE THE EDITING SAL!!!!!
Great guide, one I was looking for. Where is part 2, can’t find it anywhere
Woah... i have never been this early to any video in my life :) and its on a subject I desperatly need help with hahaa *cries*
10:00 totally random but this helps me out a ton. I have given the scrolls to him as a gift. I gave him all 4 and it didnt work. Didnt knew I had to donate it to the museum. Also for some reason I keep getting scroll nr3. I have that one 5 times. I found one other but the last 2 are just no where to be found... I wish didnt gifted him the scrolls but just donated it to the museum...
10:46
New attention spam cooker just dropped! Mining radioactive ore with default pickaxe with goofy ahh beat in the background
My first play through I unlocked the quarry, got a mystic stone on the first day, and inside was a prismatic shard. That was some serious luck. I’ve never got another prismatic shard from the quarry since then/
I've found multiple mystical nodes in the quarry
