The cost to recover lost items when you die is based on the price it would be if you were to sell an item, so now, if you lose a stack of Life Elixirs, it's half the cost to recover them it used to be.
Yes I used the tea sapling method, but no longer and it has taken longer to get to know Caroline. Another thing I used to do was buy large quantities of hardwood fence posts at the Casino but now I can only get 20 at a time. And that has also changed how i fence my farm. I've combined these two and now use tea saplings for fences so I can live with that but Im getting heaps of tea leaves!
I like the changes. It became boring watching other peoples playthrough racing to Caroline just to get the tea sapling recepie. Everyone had the same play style. The change encourages people to maybe take a different route.

I’d heard about the tea sapling nerfs but I had never used that method so didn’t really care. The changes to second house upgrade caught me out though. I LIKE the change given I now have raccoons, extra pets and mushroom logs also competing for the hardwood but it was annoying when I turned up to Robin’s house multiple times having forgotten between sessions that 50k wouldn’t cut it 🤦♀️
The only thing I’m very displeased about is the bomb (especially the medium sized black one) being way more expensive to buy. Reasons of: I play on switch only, and as a person who is older and have slower reaction time, even with trying my hardest in the mines to fight off monsters and chip away stones and ores, it is the most challenging thing to do for me. Medium bombs & life elixirs were my personal best strategy. I adore the game very much, but I hope concernedape will someday somehow make it back to at least the original price for bombs. I can also imagine this being harder for beginners or any person like me. Now, I have played on pc before, and I do notice the mines and farming is much more forgiving to play than the switch, however with my health condition it prevents me from sitting at the desk for more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time, that’s why switch is my only best choice as I can be on my bed or on comfy chairs for longer. Never knew a game would make me care this much, but this is stardew valley for ya, just can’t get enough.
You might want to look into getting a pc handheld, like Steam Deck to play PC Stardew Valley, with mods, etc. A handheld pc is much easier to grab and play, but you can keyboard and mouse with a laptop on a bed desk. I find mousing on thigh more ergonomic, than on the desk. I prefer trackball, but I busted mine, so using the mouse. Or those tables with one leg to the floor that you can height adjust to use in bed, even easier. swing over, when you want to do things in bed, swing back, when you don't). You could use this with either your pc or laptop. Or if you have a tv\monitor in your bedroom, you hook up a pc and bluetooth keyboard and mouse, from bed (couch). Whether you prefer to rest the keyboard and mouse on a board, or just you and the bed, is up to you.
I'm a little sad about the tea sapling nerf, but it's understandable. It IS a farming sim. It won't change how I play much, it'll still be a little help in the early days. The decorator in me is crying though over the prices of the extra rooms!! Makes me hesitant to start a new playthrough even though I want to try it all fresh!
well how it was. [before] is that it was a cozy life sim. you didn't have to farm (if you didn't want to). you could just fish (I've seen people not even do farming runs - just live off fish/fish farms). if you wanted to do an animal only run you could do that. to me the tea sapling aided you in just being a bit more free in WHAT you decided to do. but now with that change (and it doesn't really seem that the cost of MAKING a sapling has changed) it FORCES you really to just do farming to get that super influx of money right off the bat. as i've said the other things kinda made sense, the glitches etc, but nerfing prices always bothered me. if people truly wanted to have a "tough" time making money there's the "reduce cost of items" option. don't force that on me
I don't like the hat mouse change. Idk why it was changed since they're literally just cosmetic, so its not like it was game breaking. I used to buy all the hats once I unlocked them, but now I'm gonna wait til I start ancient fruit wine, cos 25k for 1 hat is ridiculous
You can dig up a tea sampling again though, I swear I saw that on the patch notes. So plant the tea sapling, sell the tea leaves, dig up the plant and then sell the sapling.
@@FearedKamil If you look at just the money from the Tea itself, then technically yes, but practically taking into account WHEN that money comes, then no. Looking at the best case scenario of turning the leaves into pickles, you get 1300 gold if you pickle 7 tea leaves and sell them for 150g each then pick up the bush and sell it for 250. This is reduced to 950g if you use Kegs instead because of the processing speed. However, this 1300/950 gold comes at the end of Summer. Before the update you could, with a bit of luck from daily tasks, get Caroline to 2 hearts and get the recipe before the Egg Festival. Meaning each Tea Sapling could pay for 5 Strawberry seeds, that when planted would give you two strawberries by the end of spring. That is 1200g a whole month earlier, AND this is assuming no extra strawberry drop, everything common quality, and no processing. Even assuming you didn't get lucky with Caroline quests, you could still get her to 2 Hearts guaranteed by the 16th, meaning each Tea Sapling could become 6 Cauliflowers. This would give you 1050 gold by the end of Spring, again assuming common quality and no processing. And ignoring the possibility of a giant crop. This showcases the REAL reason Tea Saplings were overpowered, and how the change is a massive nerf: 500g in the middle of the first Spring are infinitely more valuable than 1300g at the start of Fall, because they can be reinvested early enough to generate a lot more profit over time.
Fairy dust is a much more common item. You can get it via mystery boxes and for a book trade-in. I think that is why crafting yourself is a waste. I had plenty to speed up my year one completion of lost bundle.
It's weird to see them cut the tea leave profit in half but I'm banking right now on turning my farm into just a fishing farm. All smoked fish are doubled in profit. I've already made 83,589g and I'm only on Day 19 of Spring, Year 1. 😂
dayum, I still didn't get my cave jelly (Just not lucky, not enough fishing there) and I've been sinking money into tool upgrades, I'm not going to restart this one. I'll definitely be doing that on my pirate farm
I wouldn't be surprised if the Fairy Dust and Life Elixir nerfs were there to encourage players to actually use them. If the profit is large enough, it's almost a shame to use them as intended, haha. Especially in year 1 when you're short on money.
You trade 1 mystic syrup, which you get for free from tapping the new tree, for 1 fairy dust. So guessing had to reduce the price of dust other wise it would be over powered. I know I have a farm of the trees already 😅
I wanna say the raccoons' quests are infinitely repeatable (with a limit to how many you can do per day), and they can also reward the player with fairy dust.
I think the reduce in sell price for life elixir let's you get your stack of them back from marlon for alot cheaper I'm lazy an buy them from th dwarf and loosing them hurts and this makes it hurt less
I feel like the fairy dust price was changed since you're now able to get it from other sources, instead of it being crafting exclusive. That way, if you get some early on, it insensitivises you to use it instead of selling for a bit of cash
The bomb prices are outrageous now. Its the only part of the update i hate so far. Makes it impossible to get anywhere in the skull cavern in the earlier game without being poor all the time.
Now with the bomb nerfs, for players who use bombs it would be interesting to see if there is a shift in farming for radioactive bars rather than iridium bars from skull cavern runs. If you can get high amounts like 800+ iridium I'd imagine it'd still be worth it. Explosive ammo w the master slingshot is going to be significantly better now too.
IMO explosive ammo was better at anyways because it was faster, in my most recent skull cavern run I got around 1,500 iridium ore (which is much less than people far more expirenced) and I only used a handful of bombs and megabombs (maybe like 10 altogether), the main factor I think is how quickly you can reach level 100 and how quickly you can move down floors afterwards which is why staircases are so op and tbf the bombs I used I either crafted or found in skull cavern not to mention how much you can now get from the mystery boxes.
The only one that really affects me is the price of Bombs. I've yet to get that 4th Dwarf scroll, so I haven't unlocked the Dwarf shop yet, but in the past I used him to get most of my bombs since they were pretty cheap (I would still make mine), but yeah ouch those prices. Thanks for the head's up.
Lets be real here. The tea saplings were way overpowered to begin with. I didn't use them for that reason, they just felt too easy to me. Personal opinion I know, but this won't make any difference in how I play the game. The bomb kinda hurt though. I didn't purchase them too often because they were expensive then and I wanted my money elsewhere, but oh well. After year one money is pretty easy to come by anyhow so not too much of a problem.
I buy bombs a lot from the dwarf because it’s cheaper to buy them than to make them. Resources are scarce as I make lots of bars for other crafting recipes so it was easier. Gonna reconsider my approach now!
I agree, some players may argue it is easy to make money. It certainly doesn’t apply to every player, such as players who are older, play on consoles, slower reaction time, isn’t the best with combat and mining etc This is making the mine harder to survive and scavenge for definite… Bombs being more expensive is very unforgiving in my opinion.
@@Noa-g1ex it’s a trade off I guess, I rather spend money to buy resources then to grind them, because it’s going to take time in the game to do it. Whereas there’s usually a steady income source for money after some time. I do occasionally bankrupt myself by accident buying resources but nothing really debilitating since I’ll earn some back when I sleep. I may just skip using bombs altogether actually unless I’m farming for mats, it wasn’t something I could properly integrate into my play style because I still get stingy about using them anyway. Also much more satisfying to equip napalm ring and have things explode while you kill enemies.
So, GamerGar just put out a video that covered the new mushroom logs. Turns out, you can control what mushrooms they produce by which trees are around them. This makes the Life Elixir significantly easier to produce in mass quantities. Yes, you technically were always selling them at a loss, but with the changes and the right build, you can make a ton of money from them. This nerf, and the similar ones, are a preemptive strike on certain things being far more profitable on the scale than they should be.
@@Lordoftheapes79 Lost Opportunity Cost is the potential gain that is sacrificed when a business chooses one option over another. It is an intangible cost, as it does not show up on an organization’s financial balance sheet; however, it can have a real impact on a company’s bottom line. Put simply, if your business fails to make the best possible decision, then it will suffer from this cost. In this case, you are losing the profit from the mushrooms which is atleast 635 to gain 500 from the elixir with the old price, which means you were losing 135 gold in opportunity cost. AT MINIMAL.
7:50 It may be because there are other ways to get fairy dust now. I believe the raccoon shop will trade it for mystic sap, but I don't know what mystic sap is worth to say whether or not that's a viable reason.
well, so far, ... i always thought bombs were too expensive to buy from dwarf so i never did it. and tea saplings... i cried ... but i'm so used to going through the motions to get them to sell, that i found it is still worthwhile to do it in the first couple years of the game. : ) great video, thanks!
Tea saplings weren't worth that much when compared to the selling price of the components: In spring, wild horseradish, daffodils, leeks, and dandelions, plus the fiber and wood, in quantities to make a tea sapling, sold for 375. Summer the components sold for 435. Fall, the components sold for 475. In the winter, tea saplings weren't worth making - components sold for 775! Before the price change, tea saplings were worth it (to varying degrees), but definitely not any more. (All assuming base quality and no profession buffs) I'm kinda glad that CA did this, because if nothing else it made me think about how profitable selling crafted items really is.
My best guess with things like fairy dust is that he might have added them as loot somewhere, but he didn't want to allow people to get as much cash from them. I know the only reason i ever sold elixirs was having a stockpile from monsters. The tea sapling thing seemed like an oversight that they sold so well. He's been pretty clear on cooking/crafting not being profitable generally, outside sashimi and wild seeds. The bombs are the only thing that kill me.
I think you're looking too much into the crafting aspect of the items value and not the other means of obtaining them. Life elixers for example have a 5% chance to drop from Iridium Bats. That and have a chance to obtain them from treasure rooms. The change is most likely to get players to use those items more.
I believe the reason why fairy dust sell prices was nerfed is because, once you've done enough number Raccon quest line, A fairy dust are available for exchange, using mystic syrup from mystic tree that you get after mastery.
About the new mysteries, today I saw a big rat and mouse creature that I haven't seen before in the game, I wonder if you can research about it and what kind of easteregg it is, I saw it at the bus stop on my way to town, just like how we got the magnifying glass item in winter the first year. As soon as it saw me it ran away and I chased after it but there was no sign of it.
Part of the price change reasons is to allow deviation from a "Meta" strategy Forcing everyone to befriend Caroline to play "Optimally" so that you make thousands of gold for Strawberries early on The bomb price change was especially good imo, making it worthwhile to buy them in year 2 from the dwarf, or spend the extra time to go to Clint's instead and have to craft them, also additionally adding a level requirement, or optionally if doing skull cavern runs using the resources from the run itself to extend it instead of being pre-stacked with hundreds of bombs to spam everywhere since your main goal is iridium anyways Also, the life elixir change wasn't for selling for profit, what it was was hoarding them from the mines, since Iridium Bats have a high frequency of dropping life elixirs, so you could hoard them and basically have thousands of gold to immediately help set back the cost on your bombs and other resources spent on the skull cavern run
With the Tea Saplings, you can now pick them up even after they’ve produced tea!!! So after they’re done producing in fall, (or you could do it each season), you can sell the tea itself, AND pick up the saplings to sell as well 🔥🔥🔥
Breaks my heart on the 50% slash on the tea saplings. I used it as my money making method in the beginning other than fishing. But yeah, it was really broken, and it's fairly reasonable that the value was reduced.
None of the price changes matter in the slightest ... when fall of year one still comes to an extremely easy 400-700k+ depending on how optimized u run the first 2 months ... Pumpkins are unchanged and so is the fact that money has no value in SDV ...
No real changes for me outside of the cost for the room additions. I don't really buy anything from the hat mouse or the dwarf, Nor do I really ever visit the arcade in the desert that often & I've never brought warp totem's from the arcade before. Fairy dust I've never bothered with, I actually completely forgot about it lol. Same thing with Life Elixir, not forgotten about just never really used it. & the tea saplings, never bothered to use it as a way to make money.
Honestly the tea sapling money method was going to get me not to rely on the artisan profession as much. And I think that is not the intention of the tea saplings. Still a useful way of making money but doesn't change the meta ConcernedApe wants. I need to brew some tea now and see how this new dynamic feels.
Could maybe think of fairy dust being made from diamonds that are ground down. If a dimaond were to be ground down in real life it loses all of its value. The 4Cs are what people look for when buying a diamond.
Am I the only one that is focused on how he got Tea Leaves Juice??? Am I missing something here? Tea leaves in a keg makes green tea, not juice, so how do you get tea leaves juice? 11:45
i wanted to mention 3 separate things about the update that some people may not know yet, which i find really interesting about the game: 1. After retrieving Mayor Lewis’ “shorts” from Marnies room & giving them to lewis, you can now craft a staircase, go into mayor lewis’ bedroom in his home & it will take you to his basement where you can find the purple shorts again by figuring out a maze of mess. All you have to do is get out of the maze alive after you’ve found them because the shorts will attack you lol. so now you have the option to either prank lewis by wearing them (by tailoring them with a gold bar) or putting them in the pot luck or the fair display. 2. Drop an ancient doll into the lava of level 100 in the mines. something will come out of the lava & give you an item. take this item to the wizards basement, & beside the place where you can change your appearance, there’s a spot you can reveal the item to & a cat will appear giving you a new sword. 3. You can now buy mannequins at Sandy’s shop in Calico Desert. These mannequins move on their own & change their style of clothes with you. I hope a vid gets made about this because more people deserve to know!
It's early, I was already spoiled about the doll, though I thought it was different lava. I think I already turned my first doll into Gunther, on new play through.
I’m not happy about the tea sapling price; that was such a good way to make money early game; I was shocked the first time I went to buy bombs and saw the big change in price. Higher prices to purchase things and more expensive to buy others, it’s going to make the game harder; that may be the reason behind the changes 🤷♀️
perhaps the 2 were reduced to further incentivize people NOT to sell them. Maybe inexperienced players were losing money thinking selling them was better?
How do you get an auto petter? Also, I could have sworn that somewhere in the 1.6 discovery videors you've made that you said you could buy a book that gives you all the food recipes. I can't find it ing the game or your videos. Did I hear that right?
If you go the Joja route you can buy them from Joja, but if you go the community center way you can only get them from treasure rooms in Skull Cavern. The book is called Queen of Sauce Cookbook and is available from the bookseller for 50000g. The bookseller sells a random selection of books each time he visits so may gave to try more than once before you find it.
Your math about the buying the ores from clint being cheaper is way off, the dwarf sells them for 1000g, and clint sells iron ores for 250g each, same for coal. 5x250 is 1250, and additional 250g spent.
How about you play the game first and then comment? As he already mentioned "IN YEAR ONE" ... where clint sells all of those for alot cheaper ... 2nd of all ... at least try to google how to craft the bombs because in my game they only take 4 ores not 5 but maybe u have a very special version of the game ... since you seem to be very special yourself ...
I feel like all this is negative when it comes to increasing the price on everything. I'd rather have a cheaper price and have to have resources...cause making money is very hard to do
You got the calculation for the bombs wrong. 4 Iron + 1 coal, each costs 250, so 1250 in total. Thats more expensive than buying one bomb for 1000 gold
I only ever used cheat mods for a kind of "creative mode" playthrough before, but I feel the price increases will negatively impact my experience so maybe I'll play with cheat mods on just to counteract the price increases. Thanks for letting us know, as I would have hated finding out the hard way!
I'm quite bummed by all the price increases, ngl. Why did CA effectively punish us by making house expansions so much more expensive? It feels like he'd like us to not just mindlessly grind for money in this game, but my making many things way more expensive in the latest update, he practically forces us to DO grind for money.
The cost to recover lost items when you die is based on the price it would be if you were to sell an item, so now, if you lose a stack of Life Elixirs, it's half the cost to recover them it used to be.
That would make sense the reduced price on the life elixir would be a buff for those who died in the dungeons especially the harder ones

Another thing I used to do was buy large quantities of hardwood fence posts at the Casino but now I can only get 20 at a time. And that has also changed how i fence my farm.

Wow why didnt i ever think of that...

I’d heard about the tea sapling nerfs but I had never used that method so didn’t really care. The changes to second house upgrade caught me out though.

Fairy dust is a much more common item. You can get it via mystery boxes and for a book trade-in. I think that is why crafting yourself is a waste. I had plenty to speed up my year one completion of lost bundle.
It's weird to see them cut the tea leave profit in half but I'm banking right now on turning my farm into just a fishing farm. All smoked fish are doubled in profit. I've already made 83,589g and I'm only on Day 19 of Spring, Year 1. 😂
OH WOW THAT'S SO MUCH!!!
A fishing farm sounds like fun!
dayum, I still didn't get my cave jelly (Just not lucky, not enough fishing there) and I've been sinking money into tool upgrades, I'm not going to restart this one. I'll definitely be doing that on my pirate farm
@@bipbop3121 the cave jelly is our enemy for sure, it took me two days fishing to get one.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Fairy Dust and Life Elixir nerfs were there to encourage players to actually use them.
If the profit is large enough, it's almost a shame to use them as intended, haha. Especially in year 1 when you're short on money.
It could also be because you can get fairy dust without crafting it by trading books for it at the bookseller.
got me using em on casks, tree farms are cheap
But Cheese is still better than life elixir and fairy dust is alright now
I think the fairy dust was reduced because you can get them from the racoons
You trade 1 mystic syrup, which you get for free from tapping the new tree, for 1 fairy dust. So guessing had to reduce the price of dust other wise it would be over powered. I know I have a farm of the trees already 😅
But again, mystic syrup is much more valuable than fairy dust 😂 so still wouldn't be beneficial!
I wanna say the raccoons' quests are infinitely repeatable (with a limit to how many you can do per day), and they can also reward the player with fairy dust.
I think the reduce in sell price for life elixir let's you get your stack of them back from marlon for alot cheaper I'm lazy an buy them from th dwarf and loosing them hurts and this makes it hurt less
Mead also got a buff it might actually be worth setting up a wild honey farm off farm if you can spare The space
I feel like the fairy dust price was changed since you're now able to get it from other sources, instead of it being crafting exclusive. That way, if you get some early on, it insensitivises you to use it instead of selling for a bit of cash
The bomb prices are outrageous now. Its the only part of the update i hate so far. Makes it impossible to get anywhere in the skull cavern in the earlier game without being poor all the time.
yeah i just noticed this in my new playthrough and i am SAD :(( gonna have to grind for materials instead 🙃
Now with the bomb nerfs, for players who use bombs it would be interesting to see if there is a shift in farming for radioactive bars rather than iridium bars from skull cavern runs.
If you can get high amounts like 800+ iridium I'd imagine it'd still be worth it. Explosive ammo w the master slingshot is going to be significantly better now too.
IMO explosive ammo was better at anyways because it was faster, in my most recent skull cavern run I got around 1,500 iridium ore (which is much less than people far more expirenced) and I only used a handful of bombs and megabombs (maybe like 10 altogether), the main factor I think is how quickly you can reach level 100 and how quickly you can move down floors afterwards which is why staircases are so op and tbf the bombs I used I either crafted or found in skull cavern not to mention how much you can now get from the mystery boxes.
I never sold tea samplings, so, I'm fine with that.
I did use to buy lots of bombs... : (
The only one that really affects me is the price of Bombs. I've yet to get that 4th Dwarf scroll, so I haven't unlocked the Dwarf shop yet, but in the past I used him to get most of my bombs since they were pretty cheap (I would still make mine), but yeah ouch those prices. Thanks for the head's up.
Lets be real here. The tea saplings were way overpowered to begin with. I didn't use them for that reason, they just felt too easy to me. Personal opinion I know, but this won't make any difference in how I play the game.
The bomb kinda hurt though. I didn't purchase them too often because they were expensive then and I wanted my money elsewhere, but oh well. After year one money is pretty easy to come by anyhow so not too much of a problem.
I buy bombs a lot from the dwarf because it’s cheaper to buy them than to make them. Resources are scarce as I make lots of bars for other crafting recipes so it was easier. Gonna reconsider my approach now!
I agree, some players may argue it is easy to make money. It certainly doesn’t apply to every player, such as players who are older, play on consoles, slower reaction time, isn’t the best with combat and mining etc
This is making the mine harder to survive and scavenge for definite…
Bombs being more expensive is very unforgiving in my opinion.
@@Noa-g1ex it’s a trade off I guess, I rather spend money to buy resources then to grind them, because it’s going to take time in the game to do it. Whereas there’s usually a steady income source for money after some time. I do occasionally bankrupt myself by accident buying resources but nothing really debilitating since I’ll earn some back when I sleep. I may just skip using bombs altogether actually unless I’m farming for mats, it wasn’t something I could properly integrate into my play style because I still get stingy about using them anyway. Also much more satisfying to equip napalm ring and have things explode while you kill enemies.
So, GamerGar just put out a video that covered the new mushroom logs. Turns out, you can control what mushrooms they produce by which trees are around them. This makes the Life Elixir significantly easier to produce in mass quantities. Yes, you technically were always selling them at a loss, but with the changes and the right build, you can make a ton of money from them. This nerf, and the similar ones, are a preemptive strike on certain things being far more profitable on the scale than they should be.
It was to reduce the buy price when trying to reclaim them from Marlon
@@adambryant4149 That is also a good point.
How can you make money off of them if you always tell them on a loss?
@@Soul-ex8gb when materials are free it's 100% profit.
@@Lordoftheapes79 Lost Opportunity Cost is the potential gain that is sacrificed when a business chooses one option over another. It is an intangible cost, as it does not show up on an organization’s financial balance sheet; however, it can have a real impact on a company’s bottom line. Put simply, if your business fails to make the best possible decision, then it will suffer from this cost.
In this case, you are losing the profit from the mushrooms which is atleast 635 to gain 500 from the elixir with the old price, which means you were losing 135 gold in opportunity cost.
AT MINIMAL.
7:50 It may be because there are other ways to get fairy dust now. I believe the raccoon shop will trade it for mystic sap, but I don't know what mystic sap is worth to say whether or not that's a viable reason.
Its worth more apparently
I abused the tea saplings in the past so I do think it’s fair they were nerfed. But sad about the house expansion costs though 😥
well, so far, ... i always thought bombs were too expensive to buy from dwarf so i never did it. and tea saplings... i cried ... but i'm so used to going through the motions to get them to sell, that i found it is still worthwhile to do it in the first couple years of the game. : ) great video, thanks!
Tea saplings weren't worth that much when compared to the selling price of the components: In spring, wild horseradish, daffodils, leeks, and dandelions, plus the fiber and wood, in quantities to make a tea sapling, sold for 375. Summer the components sold for 435. Fall, the components sold for 475. In the winter, tea saplings weren't worth making - components sold for 775! Before the price change, tea saplings were worth it (to varying degrees), but definitely not any more. (All assuming base quality and no profession buffs)
I'm kinda glad that CA did this, because if nothing else it made me think about how profitable selling crafted items really is.
You forgot that each seedcraft results in 10 seeds so you have to divide the price of the seasonal forage by 5 or something.
@@vickisnemeth7474 Yeah, I was just coming back to edit my comment lol. So it is still worth it.
Everyone is neutral when given tea leaves as gifts. Thats all I use it for.
Life Elixers are also drops. So maybe make the drops more for use and not for selling.
I had never used the tea sappling method before seeing you use it against Poxial. It was neat while it lasted though
My best guess with things like fairy dust is that he might have added them as loot somewhere, but he didn't want to allow people to get as much cash from them. I know the only reason i ever sold elixirs was having a stockpile from monsters. The tea sapling thing seemed like an oversight that they sold so well. He's been pretty clear on cooking/crafting not being profitable generally, outside sashimi and wild seeds. The bombs are the only thing that kill me.
I think you're looking too much into the crafting aspect of the items value and not the other means of obtaining them. Life elixers for example have a 5% chance to drop from Iridium Bats. That and have a chance to obtain them from treasure rooms. The change is most likely to get players to use those items more.
CA changed the Life Elixirs they are now drop items and Fairy Dust can be gotten from the prize box things.
So they arent just crafted items any more
I believe the reason why fairy dust sell prices was nerfed is because, once you've done enough number Raccon quest line, A fairy dust are available for exchange, using mystic syrup from mystic tree that you get after mastery.
About the new mysteries, today I saw a big rat and mouse creature that I haven't seen before in the game, I wonder if you can research about it and what kind of easteregg it is, I saw it at the bus stop on my way to town, just like how we got the magnifying glass item in winter the first year. As soon as it saw me it ran away and I chased after it but there was no sign of it.
I keep seeing possum in cindersap forest
That's a possum. It's an ambient creature, like the squirrels and rabbits that run away from you.
Stardew Valley experienced inflation as well.
The fairy rose nursery was a nurf to honey. 🍯
once you get enough for a pig and barn it's game over 😂
Part of the price change reasons is to allow deviation from a "Meta" strategy
Forcing everyone to befriend Caroline to play "Optimally" so that you make thousands of gold for Strawberries early on
The bomb price change was especially good imo, making it worthwhile to buy them in year 2 from the dwarf, or spend the extra time to go to Clint's instead and have to craft them, also additionally adding a level requirement, or optionally if doing skull cavern runs using the resources from the run itself to extend it instead of being pre-stacked with hundreds of bombs to spam everywhere since your main goal is iridium anyways
Also, the life elixir change wasn't for selling for profit, what it was was hoarding them from the mines, since Iridium Bats have a high frequency of dropping life elixirs, so you could hoard them and basically have thousands of gold to immediately help set back the cost on your bombs and other resources spent on the skull cavern run
With the Tea Saplings, you can now pick them up even after they’ve produced tea!!! So after they’re done producing in fall, (or you could do it each season), you can sell the tea itself, AND pick up the saplings to sell as well 🔥🔥🔥
Breaks my heart on the 50% slash on the tea saplings. I used it as my money making method in the beginning other than fishing. But yeah, it was really broken, and it's fairly reasonable that the value was reduced.
so everything basically was raised in price to buy yet everything sells lower basically?
None of the price changes matter in the slightest ... when fall of year one still comes to an extremely easy 400-700k+ depending on how optimized u run the first 2 months ... Pumpkins are unchanged and so is the fact that money has no value in SDV ...
No real changes for me outside of the cost for the room additions. I don't really buy anything from the hat mouse or the dwarf, Nor do I really ever visit the arcade in the desert that often & I've never brought warp totem's from the arcade before. Fairy dust I've never bothered with, I actually completely forgot about it lol. Same thing with Life Elixir, not forgotten about just never really used it. & the tea saplings, never bothered to use it as a way to make money.
I'm speaking for the people that play on Council we didn't get it yet but I already know it's going to be hard for us
How would you make tea leaves juice? If you put tea leaves in a keg, you make green tea.
you can also expand the corner room to be much larger
Honestly the tea sapling money method was going to get me not to rely on the artisan profession as much. And I think that is not the intention of the tea saplings. Still a useful way of making money but doesn't change the meta ConcernedApe wants. I need to brew some tea now and see how this new dynamic feels.
Oh nooo. Need to sell alot of tea saplings on my switch now before 1.6 😂😂😂
Elxirs are common in skull caverns, so it's likely the sell price dropped, so you would consider using it for healing instead of selling it
Could maybe think of fairy dust being made from diamonds that are ground down. If a dimaond were to be ground down in real life it loses all of its value. The 4Cs are what people look for when buying a diamond.
i always buyed hardwood fences in the casino :(
I want to listen but then you show me the big Brain build out side of Robin's!
I love it! I want to recreate it. Okay back to the video
4:57 4 iron ores cost 1000 gold, and 1 coal cost 250, which is more expensive than buying a bomb from a dwarf
I'll still do the tea saplings mainly because they make excellent fences
I think they changed the price of Iridum sprinklers from Krobus, I thought they were £25k but they are £10k now
Actually, I bought them from Krobus many times, and I distinctly remember them being 10k each.
@a.j.nunnaurbiz6535 Oh maybe I misremembered, thanks
They were already 10k
I've been expecting the price change of the tea sapling😂 it was my early money making
Another sad change is maturing wine in barn doesn't work anymore.
Am I the only one that is focused on how he got Tea Leaves Juice??? Am I missing something here? Tea leaves in a keg makes green tea, not juice, so how do you get tea leaves juice? 11:45
gotta be a mod
how did you get tea leaves juice? That doesn't exist as an item in base game. Kegging tea leaves will always give you tea
I was like, why do wild seeds look like that, must be a mod. Of course the juice is also a mod.
Can you cover the new fish and fishing related things please
I was shocked that the renovations were free.
Damn can't avoid inflation even in Stardew 😩
i wanted to mention 3 separate things about the update that some people may not know yet, which i find really interesting about the game:
1. After retrieving Mayor Lewis’ “shorts” from Marnies room & giving them to lewis, you can now craft a staircase, go into mayor lewis’ bedroom in his home & it will take you to his basement where you can find the purple shorts again by figuring out a maze of mess. All you have to do is get out of the maze alive after you’ve found them because the shorts will attack you lol. so now you have the option to either prank lewis by wearing them (by tailoring them with a gold bar) or putting them in the pot luck or the fair display.
2. Drop an ancient doll into the lava of level 100 in the mines. something will come out of the lava & give you an item. take this item to the wizards basement, & beside the place where you can change your appearance, there’s a spot you can reveal the item to & a cat will appear giving you a new sword.
3. You can now buy mannequins at Sandy’s shop in Calico Desert. These mannequins move on their own & change their style of clothes with you.
I hope a vid gets made about this because more people deserve to know!
It's early, I was already spoiled about the doll, though I thought it was different lava. I think I already turned my first doll into Gunther, on new play through.
I think the thing with fairy dust etc is just, to remove gold from the game. To make it harder to get to the money cap.
I’m not happy about the tea sapling price; that was such a good way to make money early game; I was shocked the first time I went to buy bombs and saw the big change in price. Higher prices to purchase things and more expensive to buy others, it’s going to make the game harder; that may be the reason behind the changes 🤷♀️
What retexture is he using on the icons? Ive been looking on nexus for the past hour lol I am so frustrated that i cant seem to find it. 😂
Vanilla Tweaks
Life elixir and fairy dust price changes might be to deter people from selling them
pssst, I was just playing while watching and noticed that the spirit's eve maze changes each year? Can you look into it?
maybe some cooking recipe prices dropped just to make the Qi cooking challenge much harder to complete...
perhaps the 2 were reduced to further incentivize people NOT to sell them. Maybe inexperienced players were losing money thinking selling them was better?
I'm so glad they nerfed tea saplings, it was such a lame way to cheese money in my opinion
Hi great video!! Does anyone know which is the mod that show how many itens you craft?
How do you get an auto petter? Also, I could have sworn that somewhere in the 1.6 discovery videors you've made that you said you could buy a book that gives you all the food recipes. I can't find it ing the game or your videos. Did I hear that right?
If you go the Joja route you can buy them from Joja, but if you go the community center way you can only get them from treasure rooms in Skull Cavern. The book is called Queen of Sauce Cookbook and is available from the bookseller for 50000g. The bookseller sells a random selection of books each time he visits so may gave to try more than once before you find it.
@@darkwizard4757 thanks so much!!!!
There is already a Tea Sapling mod that brings back the old price! If that's something you miss and don't mind mods...
the maker of this video definitely mods
The inflation is enough to make pyrocinical blush 😔
Life elixir maybe reduced to promote making money off the dehydrator????
Spring seeds - 35 gold
Summer seeds - 55 gold
Fall Seeds - 45 gold
Winter - 30 gold
thats how much each of them sold for
Your math about the buying the ores from clint being cheaper is way off, the dwarf sells them for 1000g, and clint sells iron ores for 250g each, same for coal. 5x250 is 1250, and additional 250g spent.
How about you play the game first and then comment? As he already mentioned "IN YEAR ONE" ... where clint sells all of those for alot cheaper ... 2nd of all ... at least try to google how to craft the bombs because in my game they only take 4 ores not 5 but maybe u have a very special version of the game ... since you seem to be very special yourself ...
@@alexandralamond347 4 iron each for 250 + 1 coal each for 250 = 5 x 250
When will the next ep of the new update come out??
What is your texture pack
Anything changed in Sandy's shop?
Not me curious about what mod did you used to make your object look better

@@EighmyLupin thank
I am so happy about Tea sappling nerf, making money is to easy even without them
What are you going to do for early money instead, now that the tea saplings are no longer worth it?
Actually play the game and use all the different methods to make money instead of just one?
Ug. Don’t think I’ll be starting anew. So much nerfing 😢
I feel like all this is negative when it comes to increasing the price on everything. I'd rather have a cheaper price and have to have resources...cause making money is very hard to do
You got the calculation for the bombs wrong. 4 Iron + 1 coal, each costs 250, so 1250 in total. Thats more expensive than buying one bomb for 1000 gold
In year one the price is 150g iron and 75 the coal something like that, its cheaper in year 1,wood and stone going to 5 time expensive after y 1
@@javid3889 Oh okay, i didn't have that in mind. Thanks :D
Lets be fair. Tea saplings were too strong. It was the optimized choice.
Megabomb used to be $1000
Yeah and the regular bombs were 600. I used to buy them like candy mid to late game 😂. Now Im mid game and have to actually use them more carefully.
I just trade iridium ore for mega bomb at the desert trader.
I only ever used cheat mods for a kind of "creative mode" playthrough before, but I feel the price increases will negatively impact my experience so maybe I'll play with cheat mods on just to counteract the price increases. Thanks for letting us know, as I would have hated finding out the hard way!
I guess ill be buying bombs before the update on mobile
I would call nerfing op things a good change not a bad one lop
TH still does not make the F sound
This new sprites mod looks a bit weird
Wonderful April Fools video! Loved it. 😉😂🤣😂
Cherry bombs are 300
Bombs were 600
Mega bombs 1000
Miners treat 1000
Glad they needed tea leaf plants nerfed.
As someone who likes a challenge, gimme higher prices and lower profit margins
Not sure if this is real or an April Fools video 😅
Real
I'm quite bummed by all the price increases, ngl. Why did CA effectively punish us by making house expansions so much more expensive? It feels like he'd like us to not just mindlessly grind for money in this game, but my making many things way more expensive in the latest update, he practically forces us to DO grind for money.
🔥
