Here's a tip related to #7: the reward for completing the spring crops bundle in the community center route is 20 deluxe speed-gro. If you plant a cauliflower on the first day it grows in time to complete it. So you can go to the festival, buy at least 20 strawberries seeds, and then go pick up the speed-gro, and if you plant the strawberries with the speed-gro on day 13, the day you bought them, you will get an extra harvest before they die in summer. Note that you HAVE to use the speed-gro on the same night you get the strawberries otherwise it wont work. You can also save one of your speed-gros for when you get an ancient seed
I skip strawberries until I have the greenhouse. Then I use half the greenhouse for strawberries and the other for pumpkin. You will make 40k gold per harvest.
For this to work, you also have to water them that day, and every day afterward. Best to hoe and water 20 spots in the morning, then at night you just need to go donate the cauliflower, get the speed gro, and put it and the seeds into those already-prepped tiles.
Iridium sprinkler are definitely worth it. Quality sprinklers makes the farm look overcrowded. Plus iridium sprinklers can be upgraded for either getting extra range or auto fertilizer. It also looks nice when used together with junimo huts. Krobus sells one on Fridays in the Sewer.
Exactly, I don't understand why he's telling people not to use Iridium sprinklers. By the time you need them, 10k is likely chump change. I also agree that quality sprinklers make things look too cluttered and makes planting/tilling more annoying. I disagreed with most of the tips in this video, but I really take issue with the inventory one. There's no reason to min/max income super hard in the early game unless you're doing some kind of challenge or something. Just by fishing, growing crops, and doing quests, I had $7k to buy strawberry seeds in my last playthrough, and I upgraded my inventory days before the festival. Having a bigger inventory saves a lot on travel time and ensures you don't have to leave money laying on the ground because you didn't have enough slots or have to constantly manage your inventory/leave chests everywhere (chests aren't free either). The benefits of having 24 inventory slots as early as possible far outweigh those 20 strawberry seeds in my opinion.
while it's true that iridium sprinklers are only 8% more, that's still 8% more profit... in places like the greeenhouse, it means a lot if you want to get more crops...
That's 8% more before taking into consideration the material price. (No profession because base level makes it applicable for everyone) Iridium sprinkler has a total item sell cost of 1,750g. Quality sprinkler has a total item sell cost of 420g. At over 4x the cost it is not over 4x as effective.
@@RustyVaperGameplayDude, you're not selling the sprinklers. Also, 8% of 500,000 would be 40k you're missing out on every harvest. Also, iridium sprinklers are so much better in cramped spaces.
Once i unlock the greenhouse , i grind for the iridium sprinkler immediately . every space a regular sprinkler takes is a wasted space , and if i i use the 4 or 8 sprinklers , i use a lot of them and waste a lot of space . Businessmen mind :D
I mean, going to the mines on a bad luck day can be good if you're seeking monster loot - on bad luck days you get more enemies - so use it to get more bug meat and coal 😊
@@alexcoppersmithDo you have the Charcoal Kiln crafting recipe unlocked yet? It turns Wood into Coal, and in the early to mid-game, the farm has plenty of trees to cut down (I probably have like 3 stacks of Wood just from trying to clean up the farm map a little). Set, forget, and go nab some coal from the early floors of the Mine. Lather, rinse, repeat until you have the desired amount of Coal.
Afaik those bad luck days also lower the chances of loot to drop. When I want to farm monster loot, I wait for a best luck day, buff up my luck even further, and then take a monster musk.
Sure, I'd like to see a video explaining the sprinklers. I honestly mostly use Iridium Sprinklers late game because you can buy those from Krobus, albeit one at a time and not cheaply. Still, sometimes I am willing to pay that to get a handful of the things over the course of a few weeks and not worry about it.
Late game it's more convenient for me because I have a lot of batteries iridium and gold from skull cavern. I'd rather use my iron on kegs and whatnot.
>you have to spend money to make money >don't upgrade your inv What? But if you upgrade your inv you can get more loot without having to throw something out or waste time going back to base. Without my backpack my whole day fishing runs would be a lot less profitable. The bag pays for itself and more before your first egg fest
He was saying year 1, wait to buy the backpack upgrade and instead buy strawberry seeds at the first festival. 20 strawberry seeds profit is better investment. Once you sell the first batch, then buy the inventory upgrade
@@williamsastard8830 I bought the backpack and still was able to buy like 80 strawberries, which is more than enough, since you have to water them all with the basic watering can.
6:40 i never understood this argument... I just buy'm from Krobus as i can. Also IridiumSprinklers allow for GiantCrops to grow since they allow that 9x9 overlap.
My personal tip: Do BUY the inventory space early game. No strawberry is going to make you profit more than fishing, just follow the tip if you prefer to water crops. Even so don't buy the strawberry seeds, you can harvest only two times the entire season, instead invest in another crops to get farming lvls also more profit as you will be doing the first day of spring. (Strawberry seeds should be bought planning about the next year)
why do you need more inventory space to fish? I really dont see how these 2 things correlate at all. also strawberries give more xp and AND money than any other crop unless you intend to cheat in ways to get more stamina and can do hundreds of parsnips.
@@theendofthestart8179 its specifically so you can bulk sell alot of fish without having to go back and forth over and over due to low inventory space.
@@SporianSummit the variability of how much you can earn during the time you wouldve spent making an extra trip if you don’t buy the bag is so high, I won’t pretend to know if it’s worth it or not so you could very easily be correct. All I know is I don’t buy the bag, I ocean fish, just put everything in a chest and easily sell to Willy so there aren’t exactly long walks back and forth, and I get the bag after first strawberry harvest.
@@theendofthestart8179 even still, it'll end up being better long-term if you get the space so you can easily stack more before having to chest it, ontop of the general benefactor of opening up more of a grind within the mines too to easily upgrade your tools ontop of the fishing spots within the mines and the like.
By spending early days fishing and planting potatoes on the 6th for harvest the day before the Festival, I was able to buy the backpack for the Mines on the 5th AND had plenty for as many strawberries as I wanted to water.
regular sprinkler takes 1 spot in a 3x3 square, so in other words, 1/9 spots or 11% of the field is taken by sprinklers to cover any area, iridium takes 1 in a 5x5 square, so 1/25 or 4% of the field is covered by the sprinklers. To cover any 100 squares you can use either 4 iridium sprinklers or 11 (for 99 squares coverage) regular ones. 7% difference because you are going from 89% efficiency to 96%. That's why he said the difference isn't as big as it would seem.
@@jethro87 I get the math and it makes sense, but they’re all leaving one very Important detail. Using iridium sprinklers frees up 7% farm land. That’s a 7% profit loss if you’re go with the quality sprinklers
@@jethro87that is not 7% difference, that is 7 percent POINTS difference. But in a grid of 15x15 you have 225 squares, and with iridium sprinklers you need 3 x 3 = 9 of them, with high quality sprinkler you need 5x5=25 of them. So the difference is 25-9=16. You will go from (225-9=216) to (225-25=200) productivity, so the drop is 16/216=7.4% less. Or going the other way, 16/200=8% increase in productivity when using iridium sprinklers as opposed to high quality sprinklers. Not a massive difference to 7%, but people very often don't get the difference in percents and percent points. With these figures, the difference isn't massive, but say you went from 99% coverage of sprinklers to 98%, the efficiency actually would double (you get twice the crops, 1/100 squares to 2/100 squares). And yeah, I must admit I also had a completely incorrect hunch about what the difference would be, because an iridiu sprinkler will water 24 instead of 8 squares, so a massive 200% increase in irrigated area, it is counterintuitive that it would only lead to a less than 10% improvement in land usage efficiency.
You got some really strange tips 1:correct 2:yeah, unless you want a bit of decoration earlier 3:the real mistake is not using ancient fruit 4: yep items pretty trash, could be worth it for the aging though, aging is also bad however 5: that has effectivly no effect on anything 6:idk 7:sure if you want to optimize things, not nesseasry though 8:unnecessary 9:true 10: who releases fish? 11:coal, also makes more sense to just grow crops 12:good tip, if you have an absolute tone of stuff 13:didnt know this 14: looks better and 7%is a pretty large boost 15: hmmmm we should use an item they give us? That has this single purpose? Who could have guessed 16: even if you could do that it would waste more time that its worth 17: fair 18: fair 19: you can't count
3. starfruit is better, there is a whole spreadsheet and video about, youtube doesnt like putting links in comments though so youll have to find it yourself. 4. "aging is bad" its literally free money what are you even on about? 6. are you just saying "idk" because you couldnt come up with anything contrarian enough? 7. optimizing is the whole point of this video man. 10. New players. 11. Im not even sure what this means. using fire quartz saves you coal. and you can still plant crops what does this have to do with fire quartz? 12. its also a good tip in multiplayer but im guessing your lack of friends leaves you inexperienced in that. 15. new players done inherently know what the recycler does, especially since you can get trash before unlocking it, its very easy for new players to just throw it away thinking its useless, when you should save it up. honestly out of all your arguments this one is the one that made me type this reply, what a garbage selfish elitist mindset you have. 16. placing processors outside the farm to make more room for crops is not a waste of time. 19. fell for the comment bait lol
The wood trash (sorry English is not my first language) is actually a loved gift for Leah and generates more wood if put in the wood chipper instead of the recycling machine
Upgrade, specifically Once you get strawberry seeds, the first thing to upgrade is your water pail SPECIFICALLY when you look at the weather and it says it will be raining the next day, water your crops, get 5 copper, (5 ingots) have to necessary gold, go upgrade, next day everythings watered, next day clint opens and its upgraded
The Qi quest with the 4 prismatic shards are unironically the best and easiest quest for me. With how many prismatic shards I get normally just going down in the Skull Cavern, plus the 14 days you have to complete the quest, you are for sure able to complete that quest, let alone even have the prismatic shards already to immediately complete the quest right after accepting it lol
The 4 Precious Stones quest is about to be my first completed Qi quest. After watching this video I was like "Damn should I not do this then? 💀I just got 3/4 in 2 skull cavern trips..?"
@@christopherbull7856 that's why the warp totems are important. I like taking the quest and not finishing it because the drop rate increases. The geode crusher trick helps a lot too when the opportunity arises.
Yeah, I can't agree with that tip. Getting 4-5 shards a SC run is typical for me, up to 10 on a good day. By Spring Y2 on my current file I had every weapon and tool enchanted and still had like 50-60 shards sitting in a chest. If you're really committed to avoiding SC...okay...but I would encourage people to learn to get the most out of SC, because that 4 shard quest should be like printing gems.
@@awesomesause I didn't know about that. Not finishing obviously has its consequences, but gives a huge buff in terms of the shards themselves. Are you sure that's a thing? The increased drop rate? Also ween referring to the geode crusher, how does that work? Crush one yourself, when it turns out to be a shard or whatever else you want, go to Clint and pay him to crush it?
I enjoy my iridium sprinklers because it is easier to move around them in straight lines planting. also in endgame you can increase their radius to 7x7
@@MalekitGJ the enricher stands no change against the pressure nozzle, especially in the greenhouse and ginger island. Also on your main farm you can make sure fertilizer gets carried over by using transition crops like coffee, wheat, corn, ancient fruit or just fiber seeds, which also saves time tilling and watering the first day of the season ~
@@myrakwulf686 wait... you think this is about saving money? Dude, destroying and replanting crops takes even more time and energy than just plowing and planting seeds. But then again I'm talking from the PoV of multiplayer. Since you only need one person with the +10% perk doing the planting for that sweet sweet efficiency. Note: for the Greenhouse, the 100% water retention exist. If the quality is useless for ancient fruit (wine), why bother fertilizing with anything else?
@@MalekitGJ yes, quality fertilizer is more expensive than some wheat or parsnips, and deluxe fertilizer takes iridium bars to craft, one increases speed by 25% and the other one by 33% additionally. And your could also just use fiber plants to bridge over winter, also it saves a ton of time in Spring year 1 as you save yourself hoeing and watering everything, also the fertilizer carries over the seasons. It's a nice trick, but to be honest for money I only used quality fertilizer on my ginger island to get the starfruits rolling in quickly for my 2 in-game-year perfection run, and I've never bothered much with fertilizer and such elsewhere.
Iridium Sprinklers are the best and you can't change my mind. I really don't care much for profit margin bullshit. I just want the quality of life it has. ESPECIALLY COLLISION avoiding
@@SleepyKwee Yeah, it'll just take you longer, which is fine, there isn't a report card sent home to your parents about how long it takes :P the skull cavern scares me so i am waiting until i have a shitton of jade to make a shitton of stairs before i go anywhere near it and that'll take a while so i'm busy doing other things
You know the “five dollars is five dollars” meme? Seven percent more coverage per sprinkler tile is still seven percent more crop coverage per sprinkler tile. And properly maximizing as well as utilizing EVERY TILE of crop space is generally DIRECTLY proportional to your core seasonal profit margins. If you play on a farm with a lot of tillable tiles, namely the Standard Farm, or to a slightly lower degree Four Corners, this difference in sprinkler to crop tiles begins to quickly add up. Depending primarily of course on how much of the available space is actively being used for actual crops. If we factor in Giant Crops, due to the fact they can turn 9 normal crops into up to fifteen or something, and you are trying to maximize your likelihood of growing them, iridium sprinklers will be your best friend. At least until you get your muddy farmer hands on Pressure Nozzles and/or Deluxe Retaining Soil. Since i don’t know if you’ve ever tried to grow Giant crops with watering purely from quality sprinklers, but it probably isn’t gonna go well for you.
the material cost of iridium sprinklers > 7% profit from using them the crops that can turn giant are objectively worse than the other things you can plant during those seasons. its an early game tip so pressure nozzles arent relevant.
@@SporianSummit why isn’t fairy rose honey early game? You can easily get the farming level required before summer even starts with strawberries, and 1 flower can flavor several hives.
@@theendofthestart8179 why would someone ubergrind farming to hope for fairy rose when fishing can earn significantly more AND also gives you a route to get diamonds for even more cash ONTOP of really good food?
RE:Sprinklers You're forgetting the fact that if you want to grow Cauliflower, Melons, or Pumpkins... you can get 3x3 patches with adjacent Iridium Sprinklers. You cannot with Quality Sprinklers. Also, 7% is still 7%. And in the Greenhouse, it allows you to use all but _four_ of the tiles for growing crops (stick the other 2 iridium sprinklers on the untillable edge).
Yes they are better! No doubt. However they cost much much more. I'd rather use those resources on crystalariums. However, at some point you will have so many resources that it doesn't even matter
@@mGaud2 I think you should have at least mentioned WHY they are not worth crafting in the video, and also mention the alternative method to obtain them: Krobus sells one Iridium Sprinkler every Friday for 10k, which is definitely worth buying as soon as you unlock him.
@@theendofthestart8179 I thought we're here to play the game how we want, not to mention it wouldn't be too much of a problem anyway Another: big crop funi
Great tips! I totally missed the deluxe speed grow from Sandy, will do that from now on thanks! My bad luck days are absolutely for the mines, whenever I run low on coal. I just pop a monster musk and farm lvl 40 to 60 - coal sprites!
I wouldn't recommended buying all the strawberry, just get only 2-4 to regrow them in the greenhouse. Use the 2x Speed-Gro in summer on Hops. I planted 39 of them and made over 500+ hops by the end of the month. In spring use your money for the coop: buy 4 chickens.
strawberries are still the best strat, the give the most money and xp per cost. you should be able to buy a coop with money you earn after the egg festival anyway, in addition to the coop being a terrible early investment as although it makes lot of money, in the time it takes for chickens to grow up you could have snow balled with crops. hops is great, but blueberries is just mathmatically better in almost every single way except for energy use.
@theendofthestart8179 strawberry only gives you 1 extra harvest, max 3 before season over. Hops gives 17 harvest+2 extra harvest with a total of 19 harvest cuz speed-gro. Collecting 700 hops and every 2 days, I get 420g each. Strawberry can't compete with that. I used any leftover gold hops for energy. Plant blueberry, too. I collected 300 along with the hops. I stay all day on the farm in summer & fall watering crops. The coop you have to build no matter what. Either in spring or summer. I had extra money in spring, so I built it early.
@@o0XS whats your point? the video and I are talking about minmaxing, you seem to be talking about whatever it is you enjoy rather than anything mathematically relevant.
@theendofthestart8179 Am backing up my claim, on saving for speed-gro in summer. collecting 19 harvest per hops versus collecting only 3 harvest for strawberry. It not rocket science which is better choice. More harvest = more $. Mathematically on blueberry you'll never process it all, I tried. I have so many it never run out. All my melons & pumpkins went to jar while hops went to kegs. Point is do what you want, you comment on me, I back up my results.
I don't agree with not cracking open a golden coconut. It's going to take a considerable amount of runs of volcano dungeon regardless and you're most likely going to go on a good luck day anyway... This means you're going to be sitting on a bunch of golden coconuts you never cracked open - this locks you out of early mango and banana trees, which are useful early game foods. You're also going to be locked out of completing the large animal in the field office which gives you 6 walnuts and then you get another walnut from opening the first golden coconut. So if you're really trying to get all the walnuts, you're not doing yourself any favours. Plus there's a chance for iridium ore as well, pineapple seeds and taro tuber which all contribute to progress and profit. I don't know why I would sacrifice all that just so golden coconuts aren't in the loot pool of dwarf chests. They're exactly the same chance of getting them as the other common items in chests. If the chance of getting golden coconuts in dwarf chests was like a 30% chance or higher I would agree with you, but it's only a ~14% chance in common chests and ~11% chance in rare chests. There's really no reason to miss out on all the goodies a golden coconut can give you early game just for that.
Or, use your bad luck days, monster musk, and a burglar ring and get some coal and slime on easier levels. Not to mention (at least for me) I'm always running out of iron and copper
It really doesn't matter that much in regular mines and in the Skull caverns you can use hammers to knock back enemies while using bombs which if they explode near an enemy, they will damage le enemy and if you are visiting the Skull cavern you prob have enough money to but megabombs it their components in mass
Irridium sprinklers aren't expensive, do yall not use the desert mines 100 floors strats? Love me some free spicy eel, bombs, and stones for stairs on a lucky day. Only one or two runs for all the irridium I'll ever need.
I think I can figure out for myself when I want to use iridium sprinklers and when I don't. Etc. I agree you don't need the large backpack until maybe when you hit the gold levels of the mine, which is where I find I keep running out of inventory space. There are no hard and fast rules for this game, do what works for you.
there are definitely hard and fast rules in this game, choosing to ignore the math because you dont like it is a choice you can make if you want though.
For the special stones there is a really good used for it. It actually a good way to grind for prismatic shards. It boost your chances for finding them from all the ways you can find them. I didn't know this until I was in a unlucky day and I found four in the skull cavern. I found two on the second day after I accepted it. And on the day before the request ends and the last day.
I always buy the inventory upgrade as soon as possible, I go fishing all days, all day long to get lots of gold for the egg festival and I end up with more strawberrie seeds than I can handle without sprinklers
@@Khaizen10 “end of spring” and “asap” are vastly different, I agree that you should have the bag upgrade before spring ends, in fact I’d say you should have on spring 14.
I’m picking up what you’re putting down, my liege! I didn’t consider the honey differences before so now that I know I’ll be setting up some fairy rose hives! Also I’ll be keeping those prismatic shards for myself!
the 4 precious stone qi quest is actually very easy only if you hit perfection because you get a statue that gives you 1 prismatic shard each day so it only takes 4 days to do this very easy quest but only if you hit perfection
Personally I got the strawberries in lower amounts then plant them in the greenhouse in winter, before putting regular quality into seed maker. Then I have over 200 strawberry seeds for spring 2. Seed makers on regrowables are always fun because you always make a profit. I was about to make an iridium sprinkler with my first bar so thanks for the tip.
its 100% ok to play the game inefficiently if thats how you enjoy it. but by puttings seeds in a chest ever youre missing out on TONS of snowball potential.
If you’re short on batteries a repeat fairy rose farm is worth it in my opinion, one diamond a week and fairy rose into a seeder and replanted is fine in my eyes.
You need A LOT of high quality sprinklers, and given that you need a lot of regular ores to make kegs, tapper, etc, and you can get tons of iridium ores and gold ores easily, they are definitely worth it.
iridium sprinklers are absolutely worth it. once you have iridium tools you can either sell iridium for a small parcel of cash, stockpile it for the rare occasion when you need it for something else or put it into sprinklers. 7% extra crop yield means that for every 100 crops you grow with regular sprinklers iridium grows 107, that is extremely good. especially when you're growing several hundred. 7 extra star fruits to turn into wine at every harvest the iridium you put into the sprinkler is worth 1000g (1500 with blacksmith) whereas 7 starfruit wine even without aging it is worth 15,750g (22,050 with artisan) and that is repeatable profit whereas selling the iridium is a single use. the only thing i can think of that's a better use is crystallariums but the thing is that you can fill a field with iridium sprinklers quite easily in year one and once you have them you're not losing them. invest in iridium sprinklers first, then put them into crystallariums
Or just buy them from Krobus. Crafting them is useless, and when you have access to them you still don't have the resource capacity to fully exploit them.
@Orange Guy go on max luck day eat luck buffs u will eaily get 30 treasure rooms and prob more than 1 auto Petter on start its hard but u will getting it eventually
Casks technically make more money, but considering it takes 56 in-game days, or half the in-game year, to double the price of the wine, it's really not all that worth it. I'm not saying don't do it, just consider the time and effort of doing it. I've seen hardcore money-making efforts using your basement and three fully upgraded cabins' basements to make a ton of iridium quality wine, but that's having to spreadsheet your every waking moment to accomplish.
Huh? What do you need big planning for? Just fill the damn casks and forget about them for two seasons. It's the most effortless way to make a few hundred thousand. My only gripe with them is that they only work in the cellar. 😂
@@michaelmalone7789 Yes, plus iridium cheese (both cow and goat) is some of the best healing\energizing foods in the game. I never tackle the skull cavern without a few dozen.
7:02 to cover a 15x25 area you'd need 15 iridium sprinklers or 45 quality sprinklers, so you'd lose 15 spots with iridium sprinklers or 40 with quality, regular sprinklers would be even worse, and when you get pressure nozzles you'd still need only 12 iridium or 15 quality so that's understandable but definitely not normally plus people play modded which adds larger farms with even more space to grow crops
I think whoever did the math on the sprinklers is on something. Per sprinkler, the Iridium sprinkler covers 300% of what the quality sprinkler does. And since the Iridium sprinkler reaches out 2 spaces, if you space them out so none overlap, then they leave plenty of 3x3 areas open for the huge crops to appear. With quality sprinklers, thats not possible without the booster item from Qi's shop. And even then, its only as good as an Iridium sprinkler.
About aging wine: I usually take the second harveat and put that in casks in my cellar. So i have made money back to get more seeds and let it sit there to have 1 harvest make 3 times as much. Win-Win in that case
Also, what do you need so much quartz for? I find that I have 50+ regular quartz in my chests, and by the time I start getting fire quartz I probably fished up 20, 30 CDs/Glasses.
Ikr. Don't blindly follow those tips. It's better to get refined quartz from trash. Putting fire quartz on a furnace eats up coal. Coal is better reserved for preserve jars or beehouses.
Definitely see the iridium sprinkler advice as an early farmer tip but honestly by the time I actually use them moneys no object and 2 with grandpa's statue on year 3 you'll have more iridium then you know what todo with its like spend the massive time investment into 100s an 100s of deluxe retaining soil big X huge no or just make iridium sprinklers/buy them sacrificing maybe 22 or so plants on ginger island yes, because after awhile money becomes basically useless my solo save has 42mill earnings and ive got 18 mill on my person with practically nothing to use it on already invested into the giant gold dumps golden clock community upgrades all the warp towers, return septor wine keeps me more then sustained so I see no reason to keep planting other then the completionist statue of shipping one of everything
Yeah Prismatic Shards become kinda useless once you have all your tools and weapons enchanted at the Volcano Forge. The only other thing you can really do with them is either sell them, tailor them into Prismatic clothing, or give them as gifts - it is a universally loved gift so you can give them out as gifts. ...that being said, Prismatic Shards are not ideal gifts since they're never obtained in higher qualities. On a given playthrough I always have a coop full of rabbits because they can provide Rabbit's Feet that goes up to Iridium quality, and everyone (except Penny) loves it, so that's a worthwhile investment. So rabbits feet are a better gift than Prismatic Shards.
I THINK YOU GOT LOST B/C THE TITLE SAYS "20 THING TO AVOID" YET YOU START TALKING ABOUT COLLECTING 15 EGGS INSTEAD OF 9. WAIT WHAT?...WHAT AM I AVOIDING HERE? LOL

I get way more iridium ore from purple slimes early game when using 2 lucky rings on bad luck days 😆on perfect luck days the slime momma barely appears :´(
5:58 oh dont you trash talk the recycling machine thing, that shit op 1. you only get trash while fishing in that small hole on your farm 2. you can get both refined quartz AND coal from it 3. more available items are wood and stone
Also a chance to get cloth. Yes, it's rare but run through enough soggy newspapers and you'll soon have a nice little stack of cloth. Considering it's useful for several things or just that it sells for 470g at base price and 658g with Artisan, that's a pretty OP item from something that was literally worthless.
7:00 lost so much braincells here if you are ready to grow ancient fruit and keg them, would you be too broke for iridium sprinklers and use quality sprinklers instead?
There's on single luck stat, food buffs just add a set amount (depends on dish) on top of your daily luck regardless. Luck in the mines is about finding staircases and radioactive ore later on (and maybe other ore spawnings too? im not sure) so the higher the better
luck buffs from food are far and away more important, having the worst possible daily luck but +2 luck from food/drinks is better than the best possible daily luck.
Sad thing is i held off on purchasing that backpack upgrade in my recently fresh started save, only for me to forget to sell the kale that the annoying fairy made grow faster so i ended up losing out on those extra 20 strawberry seeds anyways 😂
Here's a tip related to #7: the reward for completing the spring crops bundle in the community center route is 20 deluxe speed-gro. If you plant a cauliflower on the first day it grows in time to complete it. So you can go to the festival, buy at least 20 strawberries seeds, and then go pick up the speed-gro, and if you plant the strawberries with the speed-gro on day 13, the day you bought them, you will get an extra harvest before they die in summer. Note that you HAVE to use the speed-gro on the same night you get the strawberries otherwise it wont work. You can also save one of your speed-gros for when you get an ancient seed
Yes!
But you get the normal speed-gro though? Not the Deluxe.
I skip strawberries until I have the greenhouse. Then I use half the greenhouse for strawberries and the other for pumpkin. You will make 40k gold per harvest.
lol if u unlock the greenhouse then just buy starfruit
For this to work, you also have to water them that day, and every day afterward. Best to hoe and water 20 spots in the morning, then at night you just need to go donate the cauliflower, get the speed gro, and put it and the seeds into those already-prepped tiles.
Iridium sprinkler are definitely worth it. Quality sprinklers makes the farm look overcrowded. Plus iridium sprinklers can be upgraded for either getting extra range or auto fertilizer. It also looks nice when used together with junimo huts. Krobus sells one on Fridays in the Sewer.
And they aren't even that expensive from Krobus just 10k
Iridium sprinklers are way more efficient the he says. Q sp. Water 8 tiles and Ir water 24 tiles. That's 300% effectively boost. Stop misinformation!
Agreed iridium sprinklers are so easy to make with a jade crystalarium farm and gold can be just bought from Clint
And you can get large crops
Exactly, I don't understand why he's telling people not to use Iridium sprinklers. By the time you need them, 10k is likely chump change. I also agree that quality sprinklers make things look too cluttered and makes planting/tilling more annoying. I disagreed with most of the tips in this video, but I really take issue with the inventory one. There's no reason to min/max income super hard in the early game unless you're doing some kind of challenge or something. Just by fishing, growing crops, and doing quests, I had $7k to buy strawberry seeds in my last playthrough, and I upgraded my inventory days before the festival. Having a bigger inventory saves a lot on travel time and ensures you don't have to leave money laying on the ground because you didn't have enough slots or have to constantly manage your inventory/leave chests everywhere (chests aren't free either). The benefits of having 24 inventory slots as early as possible far outweigh those 20 strawberry seeds in my opinion.
while it's true that iridium sprinklers are only 8% more, that's still 8% more profit... in places like the greeenhouse, it means a lot if you want to get more crops...
That's 8% more before taking into consideration the material price. (No profession because base level makes it applicable for everyone)
Iridium sprinkler has a total item sell cost of 1,750g.
Quality sprinkler has a total item sell cost of 420g.
At over 4x the cost it is not over 4x as effective.
How much extra do the nozzles from the walnut room add to that?
@@RustyVaperGameplay But the payout from having them is ongoing, not a one time value.
@@RustyVaperGameplay I'd argue thats not true. You have to remember, you pay once for a sprinkler, but benefit forever
@@RustyVaperGameplayDude, you're not selling the sprinklers. Also, 8% of 500,000 would be 40k you're missing out on every harvest. Also, iridium sprinklers are so much better in cramped spaces.
iridium sprinklers are a must. cant believe he put them on here lol. just the extra space alone
Same with not aging all of your star fruit wine and instead selling half right away
Once i unlock the greenhouse , i grind for the iridium sprinkler immediately . every space a regular sprinkler takes is a wasted space , and if i i use the 4 or 8 sprinklers , i use a lot of them and waste a lot of space . Businessmen mind :D
I especially like them for the greenhouse especially with the pressure nozzle extension, 4 sprinklers to properly cover the entire greenhouse yay!
I mean, going to the mines on a bad luck day can be good if you're seeking monster loot - on bad luck days you get more enemies - so use it to get more bug meat and coal 😊
I was going to comment this myself! I use bad luck days to farm Dust Sprites. (Both for Coal and their unique reward.)
I just started my first play and this is great to know. Coal is a pain to get and no one mentions this!
@@alexcoppersmithDo you have the Charcoal Kiln crafting recipe unlocked yet? It turns Wood into Coal, and in the early to mid-game, the farm has plenty of trees to cut down (I probably have like 3 stacks of Wood just from trying to clean up the farm map a little). Set, forget, and go nab some coal from the early floors of the Mine. Lather, rinse, repeat until you have the desired amount of Coal.
@@alexcoppersmith charcoal furnace go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Afaik those bad luck days also lower the chances of loot to drop. When I want to farm monster loot, I wait for a best luck day, buff up my luck even further, and then take a monster musk.
Sure, I'd like to see a video explaining the sprinklers. I honestly mostly use Iridium Sprinklers late game because you can buy those from Krobus, albeit one at a time and not cheaply. Still, sometimes I am willing to pay that to get a handful of the things over the course of a few weeks and not worry about it.
Late game it's more convenient for me because I have a lot of batteries iridium and gold from skull cavern. I'd rather use my iron on kegs and whatnot.
>you have to spend money to make money
>don't upgrade your inv
What? But if you upgrade your inv you can get more loot without having to throw something out or waste time going back to base. Without my backpack my whole day fishing runs would be a lot less profitable.
The bag pays for itself and more before your first egg fest
He was saying year 1, wait to buy the backpack upgrade and instead buy strawberry seeds at the first festival. 20 strawberry seeds profit is better investment. Once you sell the first batch, then buy the inventory upgrade
@@williamsastard8830 I bought the backpack and still was able to buy like 80 strawberries, which is more than enough, since you have to water them all with the basic watering can.
@@AlienGurke why would you water it manually? Just use basic sprinklers.
@@weltraumvogel2 not really useful and 13 games into the game you dont have so much resources for them and u ll replace them anyways pretty soon.

Also IridiumSprinklers allow for GiantCrops to grow since they allow that 9x9 overlap.
why are you planting the crops that can grow to giant though?
spring strawberries, summer starfruit, cranberries fall.

@@andrewdesalvatore7262 FAIR ENOUGH.
@@theendofthestart8179 Giant crops make amusing decorations as they do not rot ever. They will stay up and alive even thru winter.
My personal tip: Do BUY the inventory space early game. No strawberry is going to make you profit more than fishing, just follow the tip if you prefer to water crops. Even so don't buy the strawberry seeds, you can harvest only two times the entire season, instead invest in another crops to get farming lvls also more profit as you will be doing the first day of spring.
(Strawberry seeds should be bought planning about the next year)
why do you need more inventory space to fish? I really dont see how these 2 things correlate at all. also strawberries give more xp and AND money than any other crop unless you intend to cheat in ways to get more stamina and can do hundreds of parsnips.
@@theendofthestart8179 its specifically so you can bulk sell alot of fish without having to go back and forth over and over due to low inventory space.
@@SporianSummit the variability of how much you can earn during the time you wouldve spent making an extra trip if you don’t buy the bag is so high, I won’t pretend to know if it’s worth it or not so you could very easily be correct. All I know is I don’t buy the bag, I ocean fish, just put everything in a chest and easily sell to Willy so there aren’t exactly long walks back and forth, and I get the bag after first strawberry harvest.
@@theendofthestart8179 even still, it'll end up being better long-term if you get the space so you can easily stack more before having to chest it, ontop of the general benefactor of opening up more of a grind within the mines too to easily upgrade your tools ontop of the fishing spots within the mines and the like.
By spending early days fishing and planting potatoes on the 6th for harvest the day before the Festival, I was able to buy the backpack for the Mines on the 5th AND had plenty for as many strawberries as I wanted to water.
I disagree. Those sprinklers save me. And because I have lightning rods I have plenty of batteries to purchase the sprinklers.
I've been playing this for years but I had no idea fire quartz made THREE refined quartz. I've been wasting so much quartz 😢
same :0
IM SORRY? How does 24tiles from one Iridium sprinkler compared to an 8tile quality show 7%. It's literally 200% more coverage.
regular sprinkler takes 1 spot in a 3x3 square, so in other words, 1/9 spots or 11% of the field is taken by sprinklers to cover any area, iridium takes 1 in a 5x5 square, so 1/25 or 4% of the field is covered by the sprinklers. To cover any 100 squares you can use either 4 iridium sprinklers or 11 (for 99 squares coverage) regular ones. 7% difference because you are going from 89% efficiency to 96%.
That's why he said the difference isn't as big as it would seem.
@@jethro87 This feels wrong. The math makes sense, but it feels wrong.
@@jethro87 I get the math and it makes sense, but they’re all leaving one very Important detail. Using iridium sprinklers frees up 7% farm land. That’s a 7% profit loss if you’re go with the quality sprinklers
@@Jakegraham62 just put down 2-3 more quality sprinklers to make up the loss then 😂
@@jethro87that is not 7% difference, that is 7 percent POINTS difference. But in a grid of 15x15 you have 225 squares, and with iridium sprinklers you need 3 x 3 = 9 of them, with high quality sprinkler you need 5x5=25 of them. So the difference is 25-9=16. You will go from (225-9=216) to (225-25=200) productivity, so the drop is 16/216=7.4% less. Or going the other way, 16/200=8% increase in productivity when using iridium sprinklers as opposed to high quality sprinklers. Not a massive difference to 7%, but people very often don't get the difference in percents and percent points. With these figures, the difference isn't massive, but say you went from 99% coverage of sprinklers to 98%, the efficiency actually would double (you get twice the crops, 1/100 squares to 2/100 squares).
And yeah, I must admit I also had a completely incorrect hunch about what the difference would be, because an iridiu sprinkler will water 24 instead of 8 squares, so a massive 200% increase in irrigated area, it is counterintuitive that it would only lead to a less than 10% improvement in land usage efficiency.

Upgrade, specifically
Once you get strawberry seeds, the first thing to upgrade is your water pail
SPECIFICALLY when you look at the weather and it says it will be raining the next day, water your crops, get 5 copper, (5 ingots) have to necessary gold, go upgrade, next day everythings watered, next day clint opens and its upgraded
you dont even need it to rain as strawberries planted as early as you can will have an extra day before the season ends so you can skip watering once
The Qi quest with the 4 prismatic shards are unironically the best and easiest quest for me. With how many prismatic shards I get normally just going down in the Skull Cavern, plus the 14 days you have to complete the quest, you are for sure able to complete that quest, let alone even have the prismatic shards already to immediately complete the quest right after accepting it lol
That place is literally hell for me since u waste 3 hours for the bus driver, pray for good luck day and there’s the fact progress is erased the day
The 4 Precious Stones quest is about to be my first completed Qi quest. After watching this video I was like "Damn should I not do this then? 💀I just got 3/4 in 2 skull cavern trips..?"
@@christopherbull7856 that's why the warp totems are important. I like taking the quest and not finishing it because the drop rate increases. The geode crusher trick helps a lot too when the opportunity arises.
Yeah, I can't agree with that tip. Getting 4-5 shards a SC run is typical for me, up to 10 on a good day. By Spring Y2 on my current file I had every weapon and tool enchanted and still had like 50-60 shards sitting in a chest. If you're really committed to avoiding SC...okay...but I would encourage people to learn to get the most out of SC, because that 4 shard quest should be like printing gems.
@@awesomesause I didn't know about that. Not finishing obviously has its consequences, but gives a huge buff in terms of the shards themselves. Are you sure that's a thing? The increased drop rate?
Also ween referring to the geode crusher, how does that work? Crush one yourself, when it turns out to be a shard or whatever else you want, go to Clint and pay him to crush it?
I enjoy my iridium sprinklers because it is easier to move around them in straight lines planting. also in endgame you can increase their radius to 7x7
Not using the auto-fertilizer as a pleb
@@MalekitGJ the enricher stands no change against the pressure nozzle, especially in the greenhouse and ginger island.
Also on your main farm you can make sure fertilizer gets carried over by using transition crops like coffee, wheat, corn, ancient fruit or just fiber seeds, which also saves time tilling and watering the first day of the season ~
@@myrakwulf686 wait... you think this is about saving money?
Dude, destroying and replanting crops takes even more time and energy than just plowing and planting seeds.
But then again I'm talking from the PoV of multiplayer. Since you only need one person with the +10% perk doing the planting for that sweet sweet efficiency.
Note: for the Greenhouse, the 100% water retention exist. If the quality is useless for ancient fruit (wine), why bother fertilizing with anything else?
Pressure nozzle is so good 😫
@@MalekitGJ yes, quality fertilizer is more expensive than some wheat or parsnips, and deluxe fertilizer takes iridium bars to craft, one increases speed by 25% and the other one by 33% additionally.
And your could also just use fiber plants to bridge over winter, also it saves a ton of time in Spring year 1 as you save yourself hoeing and watering everything, also the fertilizer carries over the seasons.
It's a nice trick, but to be honest for money I only used quality fertilizer on my ginger island to get the starfruits rolling in quickly for my 2 in-game-year perfection run, and I've never bothered much with fertilizer and such elsewhere.

You know the “five dollars is five dollars” meme? Seven percent more coverage per sprinkler tile is still seven percent more crop coverage per sprinkler tile. And properly maximizing as well as utilizing EVERY TILE of crop space is generally DIRECTLY proportional to your core seasonal profit margins.
If you play on a farm with a lot of tillable tiles, namely the Standard Farm, or to a slightly lower degree Four Corners, this difference in sprinkler to crop tiles begins to quickly add up. Depending primarily of course on how much of the available space is actively being used for actual crops.
If we factor in Giant Crops, due to the fact they can turn 9 normal crops into up to fifteen or something, and you are trying to maximize your likelihood of growing them, iridium sprinklers will be your best friend. At least until you get your muddy farmer hands on Pressure Nozzles and/or Deluxe Retaining Soil. Since i don’t know if you’ve ever tried to grow Giant crops with watering purely from quality sprinklers, but it probably isn’t gonna go well for you.
the material cost of iridium sprinklers > 7% profit from using them
the crops that can turn giant are objectively worse than the other things you can plant during those seasons.
its an early game tip so pressure nozzles arent relevant.

250g at the blacksmith would save you a lot of time. just buy 1k, youll make that money in a few days
I wouldn't recommended buying all the strawberry, just get only 2-4 to regrow them in the greenhouse.
Use the 2x Speed-Gro in summer on Hops. I planted 39 of them and made over 500+ hops by the end of the month.
In spring use your money for the coop: buy 4 chickens.
strawberries are still the best strat, the give the most money and xp per cost. you should be able to buy a coop with money you earn after the egg festival anyway, in addition to the coop being a terrible early investment as although it makes lot of money, in the time it takes for chickens to grow up you could have snow balled with crops. hops is great, but blueberries is just mathmatically better in almost every single way except for energy use.
@theendofthestart8179
strawberry only gives you 1 extra harvest, max 3 before season over.
Hops gives 17 harvest+2 extra harvest with a total of 19 harvest cuz speed-gro. Collecting 700 hops and every 2 days, I get 420g each. Strawberry can't compete with that. I used any leftover gold hops for energy.
Plant blueberry, too. I collected 300 along with the hops. I stay all day on the farm in summer & fall watering crops.
The coop you have to build no matter what. Either in spring or summer. I had extra money in spring, so I built it early.
@@o0XS whats your point? the video and I are talking about minmaxing, you seem to be talking about whatever it is you enjoy rather than anything mathematically relevant.
@theendofthestart8179
Am backing up my claim, on saving for speed-gro in summer. collecting 19 harvest per hops versus collecting only 3 harvest for strawberry.
It not rocket science which is better choice. More harvest = more $.
Mathematically on blueberry you'll never process it all, I tried. I have so many it never run out.
All my melons & pumpkins went to jar while hops went to kegs.
Point is do what you want, you comment on me, I back up my results.
Strawberry is a good investment. You get at least 240g from every 100g. Also you can dehydrate it and get 185g per strawberry (370g per seed)
Iridium sprinklers are more effective if you spread them out
Fun fact you can put clothes, shoes, and rings in your dresser to not waste chest space
I can’t wait to see the Haunted Chocolatier content!
Honestly, Fairy Dust is still sometimes worth it to me, but it's situational, like finishing a quest.
I don't agree with not cracking open a golden coconut.
It's going to take a considerable amount of runs of volcano dungeon regardless and you're most likely going to go on a good luck day anyway...
This means you're going to be sitting on a bunch of golden coconuts you never cracked open - this locks you out of early mango and banana trees, which are useful early game foods.
You're also going to be locked out of completing the large animal in the field office which gives you 6 walnuts and then you get another walnut from opening the first golden coconut. So if you're really trying to get all the walnuts, you're not doing yourself any favours. Plus there's a chance for iridium ore as well, pineapple seeds and taro tuber which all contribute to progress and profit. I don't know why I would sacrifice all that just so golden coconuts aren't in the loot pool of dwarf chests. They're exactly the same chance of getting them as the other common items in chests. If the chance of getting golden coconuts in dwarf chests was like a 30% chance or higher I would agree with you, but it's only a ~14% chance in common chests and ~11% chance in rare chests. There's really no reason to miss out on all the goodies a golden coconut can give you early game just for that.
there is no way you just called a ginger item crop an "early game" food
Or, use your bad luck days, monster musk, and a burglar ring and get some coal and slime on easier levels. Not to mention (at least for me) I'm always running out of iron and copper
It really doesn't matter that much in regular mines and in the Skull caverns you can use hammers to knock back enemies while using bombs which if they explode near an enemy, they will damage le enemy and if you are visiting the Skull cavern you prob have enough money to but megabombs it their components in mass

6:17 nah, chest monsters forever.
based.
No you need to craft island totem once if you want to craft every item for archievment.
iridium sprinklers are absolutely worth it. once you have iridium tools you can either sell iridium for a small parcel of cash, stockpile it for the rare occasion when you need it for something else or put it into sprinklers. 7% extra crop yield means that for every 100 crops you grow with regular sprinklers iridium grows 107, that is extremely good. especially when you're growing several hundred. 7 extra star fruits to turn into wine at every harvest the iridium you put into the sprinkler is worth 1000g (1500 with blacksmith) whereas 7 starfruit wine even without aging it is worth 15,750g (22,050 with artisan) and that is repeatable profit whereas selling the iridium is a single use. the only thing i can think of that's a better use is crystallariums but the thing is that you can fill a field with iridium sprinklers quite easily in year one and once you have them you're not losing them. invest in iridium sprinklers first, then put them into crystallariums
Or just buy them from Krobus. Crafting them is useless, and when you have access to them you still don't have the resource capacity to fully exploit them.

7:02 to cover a 15x25 area you'd need 15 iridium sprinklers or 45 quality sprinklers, so you'd lose 15 spots with iridium sprinklers or 40 with quality, regular sprinklers would be even worse, and when you get pressure nozzles you'd still need only 12 iridium or 15 quality so that's understandable but definitely not normally plus people play modded which adds larger farms with even more space to grow crops
7:06 you canbget even cloth from soggy newspapers
Im sorry i dont understand my king... each player has there own style... i know your just giving tips.. but its up to the player on what they will do
their* and yeah duh, do you think that means he should not make the video?
IDK I'm new, but Iridium sprinklers seems like a better investment, I never knew about the speed gro either, nor the fire qaurtz.
I think whoever did the math on the sprinklers is on something. Per sprinkler, the Iridium sprinkler covers 300% of what the quality sprinkler does. And since the Iridium sprinkler reaches out 2 spaces, if you space them out so none overlap, then they leave plenty of 3x3 areas open for the huge crops to appear. With quality sprinklers, thats not possible without the booster item from Qi's shop.
And even then, its only as good as an Iridium sprinkler.
About aging wine:
I usually take the second harveat and put that in casks in my cellar. So i have made money back to get more seeds and let it sit there to have 1 harvest make 3 times as much. Win-Win in that case
well, the inventory thing...
I had all my slots used, and i couldn't even buy 1 strawberry seed 😃
you brought your tools to a festival? why?
Bruh I love your videos the way you speak is hilarious, and somehow you got half of the comment section to be "I understand my king" lmaoo
I understand oh my worthy king and overlord of Stardew wisdom
I understand! Thanks for the amazing tips 😅
These tips are fantastic thank you so much!!!!
Prismatic shard quest is so easy to do, what do you mean you should avoid it.
Also, what do you need so much quartz for? I find that I have 50+ regular quartz in my chests, and by the time I start getting fire quartz I probably fished up 20, 30 CDs/Glasses.
To craft all of those quality sprinkles 🤣
You can trade normal quartz in for bombs at the dessert trader
@@mGaud2 True, plus garden pots if you're doing something like a pineapple shed.
I like the crystal pathing personally.
Ikr. Don't blindly follow those tips. It's better to get refined quartz from trash. Putting fire quartz on a furnace eats up coal. Coal is better reserved for preserve jars or beehouses.
5:20 i didn't know you can release fish until this moment. I always eat it or sell
Very useful information, I made so many mistakes but this help a lot, thanks🙏 also I understand my king 👑
tip put your rings in the dresser
Definitely see the iridium sprinkler advice as an early farmer tip but honestly by the time I actually use them moneys no object and 2 with grandpa's statue on year 3 you'll have more iridium then you know what todo with its like spend the massive time investment into 100s an 100s of deluxe retaining soil big X huge no or just make iridium sprinklers/buy them sacrificing maybe 22 or so plants on ginger island yes, because after awhile money becomes basically useless my solo save has 42mill earnings and ive got 18 mill on my person with practically nothing to use it on already invested into the giant gold dumps golden clock community upgrades all the warp towers, return septor wine keeps me more then sustained so I see no reason to keep planting other then the completionist statue of shipping one of everything
My bru you need more subscribers. You’re hilarious
Actually, it's not 7%, it's 8%! In addition to this, megafruit (3x3) can appear.
Pierre being a swindler part made me chuckle 😂
thats a canon fact man
He bludered THE PROFIT!!!
I think that your wrong aboute the prismatic shards after you have the galexsy sord and all the enchantments you want what elses do you do with them
I understand my king🤴🏼
4 prismatic shards in the end game its like too easy for me... Free quest if you already achieved perfection too and just want to get more things
Yeah Prismatic Shards become kinda useless once you have all your tools and weapons enchanted at the Volcano Forge. The only other thing you can really do with them is either sell them, tailor them into Prismatic clothing, or give them as gifts - it is a universally loved gift so you can give them out as gifts.
...that being said, Prismatic Shards are not ideal gifts since they're never obtained in higher qualities. On a given playthrough I always have a coop full of rabbits because they can provide Rabbit's Feet that goes up to Iridium quality, and everyone (except Penny) loves it, so that's a worthwhile investment.
So rabbits feet are a better gift than Prismatic Shards.
what things are you buying post perfection?
5:16 mmm... what a lovely sound...
I THINK YOU GOT LOST B/C THE TITLE SAYS "20 THING TO AVOID" YET YOU START TALKING ABOUT COLLECTING 15 EGGS INSTEAD OF 9. WAIT WHAT?...WHAT AM I AVOIDING HERE? LOL
I get way more iridium ore from purple slimes early game when using 2 lucky rings on bad luck days 😆on perfect luck days the slime momma barely appears :´(
I understand, my king.
5:58 oh dont you trash talk the recycling machine thing, that shit op
1. you only get trash while fishing in that small hole on your farm
2. you can get both refined quartz AND coal from it
3. more available items are wood and stone
Also a chance to get cloth. Yes, it's rare but run through enough soggy newspapers and you'll soon have a nice little stack of cloth. Considering it's useful for several things or just that it sells for 470g at base price and 658g with Artisan, that's a pretty OP item from something that was literally worthless.
6:30 Pierre was wild
7:00 lost so much braincells here
if you are ready to grow ancient fruit and keg them, would you be too broke for iridium sprinklers and use quality sprinklers instead?
Love the slip of animal crossing music!
How does daily luck vs luck buffs affect the mines?
There's on single luck stat, food buffs just add a set amount (depends on dish) on top of your daily luck regardless. Luck in the mines is about finding staircases and radioactive ore later on (and maybe other ore spawnings too? im not sure) so the higher the better
luck buffs from food are far and away more important, having the worst possible daily luck but +2 luck from food/drinks is better than the best possible daily luck.
*FIRE QUARTZ TURNS INTO 3 REFINED QUARTZ??????!!!11!1!*
Now thats something i didn't knew
This dude is great! Needs more subs!
instructions unclear filled my entire farm whit beehouses sold millions of normal honey
I can't bring myself to go to ginger island. Time goes to fast
That feeling when you watch some Stardew valley video after about 20 hours of game play and have no idea what's going on in these videos.
thats ok friend, just play the game for fun on your first playthough dont worry about the best possible strats
@@theendofthestart8179 Im still rich asf by making wine and truffel oil and having lots of pigs.
@@MrJerkkerijust use botanist profession to always get iridium quality truffles which sell for more than truffle oil.
I just started playing this game two days ago and this is blowing my fucking mind
Sad thing is i held off on purchasing that backpack upgrade in my recently fresh started save, only for me to forget to sell the kale that the annoying fairy made grow faster so i ended up losing out on those extra 20 strawberry seeds anyways 😂
why are you bringing tools to the egg hunt? gonna axe jass or smthn?
The game is easy enough that things really can't be blunders.
Well, if you attach a nozzle to your sprinklers, then you will get more range out of em.
if youre that far into late game then it doesnt really matter what you use anyway
I'm hoping update 1.6 brings us a preview button so when we make clothing or decorate walls/flooring we can see it before applying it.
same, 1 more day only :D
u can also buy as much parsnip as u can during 1 year thats profitable and u dont need to wait so much
the rate of snowballing from parsnips will overtake your energy far too fast for that strat to be worth it.
