for wheat I would also like to add that it is the best crop for Pierre's gold star vegetable mission board quest because wheat is classified as a vegetable. is the cheapest, grows fast, and is multi seasonal
I'd also like to add that he forgot it's a great crop for leveling, gives you hay for your animals and you can make beer with it in a key which is even quicker than hops into pale ale as the quickest keg recipe! I always plant a massive field if wheat and because I usually get at least 4 rains per season, it'll be done with no maintenence at all
i would love to see a 1.6 updated version to this! not much has to be repeated, it should rather be more like a "1.6 correction to the skill guides" kind of video

To add to the weirdness that is goat cheese in real life. Due to how Europeans historically have named artisan foods such as cheese and wine, being that it's name comes from the region of the world that it comes from (cheddar being from cheddar), Goat cheese is just referred to as goat cheese regardless of where it's made, it's texture, flavor profile, age, or additional contents. This makes it very difficult to sell goat cheese as it's near impossible to differentiate your product from a competitors. This naming requirement is intentional as a lot of cheese makers around the world view cheese as an art form, and actively push for laws around the world that make it difficult to sell cheese that isn't made in traditional ways, or is made outside of the regions that historically have made them. It's also why you will see a lot of cheese made in the USA use terms like "swiss style" as many countries outlaw naming your cheese something, unless it comes from that region of the world even if the cheese is almost identical in flavor and presentation.
Cheddar is a place but the cheese is actually named for the cheddaring method of making the cheese - it's completely normal and fine to have cheddar cheeses made elsewhere. Also there are many cheeses not named for a place, and many cheeses that use goat or sheep milk (or water buffalo milk like mozzarella) that aren't just called 'goat cheese' or 'sheep cheese'.

If you are an obsessive farm clearer, you can plant wheat and never worry about watering it. It will keep your farm clear (until you build out to the edges), and the rain will allow it to reach full maturity by the end of Fall (or whenever you want to expand your farm).
I could not be more thankful for all the incredible guides that stardew valley players make. Despite it being a very casual game I always found myself demoralized to play because I didnt feel like i was making the most use of my time especially at the start of a new game. Now my current save is on day 24 of spring with 200 strawberries ready to harvest, an ancient seed growing, and I'm at floor 80 in the mines farming for gold, iron, and quarts for quality sprinklers. (Yes I made 50 regular sprinklers for all the strawberries, god help me) Back on track though. Knowing all this about the game combined with an opening strategies I've seen for beginners it's made me love this game more than I ever have
In the gardening/farming world, regrowable/ever producing crops are called indeterminate. Crops that produce only once are called determinate. Of course the seasons are so short in game, but many of the crops planted that produce once are actually indeterminate. Specifically melons and pumpkins.

You missed something about Cactus. It has the highest farming EXP yield. It does more farming XP than pumpkins. And because it regrows after it’s first harvest it makes it a prime candidate to level farming when placed in the greenhouse. And if you need energy for the skull caverns it has a whopping 75 energy restoration (it is not as much as cheese) but since you are planting it anyways for farming EXP it isn’t a bad idea to also to take it with you when you go for skull caverns dives.
It also low maintenance so when you are done with the greenhouse all you need to do is put sprinklers and just check them every three days. It has a higher farming exp average per day than pumpkins and it also regrows. Pumpkins have an average of 2 farming exp per day, but you need to replant. After your first harvest of cactus it has a farming exp yield of 5 per day.
I used it for heath and energy constantly before having the means to make a ton of cheese! Even now Ill keep some iridium ones on hand if Im low for cheese or elixers
@dartimes6048 was farming 10 in summer got the greenhouse in fall because u can't earlier than that without travelling cart. Basic sprinklers helping me reach farming 6 for summer.
2:06:22 It is worth noting that the chance for double gems from prospector _also_ applies to geodes (and the chance is 50%, so a coin flip each time).

Btw the mushroom tree isnt random if you harvest it on day 10 or 20 the next harvest is guarenteed to be purple, Then the next will be red. after which it will be common if in spring or summer, or red if in fall. harvesting a common yields a common unless on day 10 or 20. if you harvest a purple on 10 or 20 it will yield a red. Its a weird system and the wiki is a lifesaver

This helped me so much when I met my ex and started learning stardew valley with her bcoz she loved it... it didnot work out after a year but- I'm left with this amazing game. It still reminds me of her even after so long but I'm trying to get back to it.
sorry to hear that things didn't work out with your ex - hopefully, over time, you will be able to enjoy the game without having to also think about them. it takes time and patience, don't force yourself to play if it'll be a bummer. the game will always be there when you're ready for it.
You sir are THE GOAT! Thank you so much for helping out this 46 year old simpleton lol. Fantastic video! I have no nostalgia value in playing the game as I've only been gaming for a year, and to be honest I'm not a fan of 2D pixelated graphics as they look old-fashioned to me, but this type of video gets me excited to play the game -that is huge for me. I am mid-spring in the first year and started to enjoy it now. Thanks again :)
You can convert 1 jade to staircases to 99 stone using deconstructors. It is worth It if you don’t want to buy stone from robin or you don’t have the time for farming stone in the mines.
24:15 white vs. brown also matters for perfection and the "full shipment" achievement: to ship one of every item, you need one normal and one large of each color
I have probably watched this a million times! I love every part and the charts are so detailed and dont even get me started on the uniform stardew color scheme that you’ve implemented! My compliments to the chef 👨🍳
A very important note about parsnips in year 1: They have the best rate of return if money is the limiting factor. example with 100g and 12 days... parsnips: buy 5 seeds, grow 4 days, sell for 175g buy 8 seeds, grow 4 days, sell for 280g (+15g that was unspent) =295g buy 14 seeds, grow 4 days, sell for 490g (+15g that was unspent) =505g potatoes: buy 2 seeds, grow 6 days, sell for 200g buy 4 seeds, grow for 6 days, sell for 400g after 12 days parsnips makes you about 26% more g, but takes up an average of 3 times as much space
A nice thing about green beans since they regrow so fast is that they make great gifts. Most villagers like vegetables, so green beans can make great early game gifts for the time, money, and space invested in planting them. Shame the green bean hotpot isn't the most accessible recipe early on...
Note: Hops have a unique relation with the Keg and the Large Shed. A Large Shed can have 137 Garden Plots, and if you put in the Delux Retaining Soil, they will always be watered. With two more Large Sheds, you can put in 137 Kegs in each one. As the first harvest comes in, you put them in the first shed, then next say the other, by the third you get the first 137 pale ale, then rinse and repeat. Since it takes 1.5 days for a keg to produce the ale. You now produce 41k every day (Roughly everyday). It becomes an infinite loop. Making them repay for themselves extremely quickly. The main cost is the Sheds, Kegs, Garden Plots and the Delux Retaining Soil. Also instead of making Wheat Flour from wheat, put it in a keg to make beer, which makes it so every 5 days you get X times 200g basically making 1 wheat pay for 20 wheat which is way worth that extra day of waiting. Did the calculations a bit later so take note. A Beer sells for 200 gold without artisan trait 280 gold with artisan trait. This literally makes (200 - 10) / 5 = 38g/d or (280 - 10) / 5 = 54g/d. This means in otherwords, it is well worth the extra work. So this is how you do it, plant as much wheat you can, in 4 days, harvest it, and put it into kegs, then plant as much wheat you can again. Sell the beer, and wait for the next harvest. Rinse and Repeat, this will give you 14 total harvests through summer and fall. It is quite a lot of beer you will be selling. Oh and the Tealeaves can also be pickled in the preserving jars. Making more money out of them (150 without the artisan skill). Also added note: This is VERY IMPORTANT! DO NOT, and I say again DO NOT Age Starfruit Wine into Iridium Quality! It makes you LOSE MONEY. Ok so here is the deal; Starfruit takes 13 days to be harvestable, and it takes another 6.25 days to make it into wine, which makes its worth 2250 or 3150 with Artisan Trait. That is a total of 19.25 days so we get 116.88g/d or 163.6g/d. Compared to the 75.25 days in total to make a Iridium Quality Wine for 4500g or 6300g making 59.8g/d or 83.7g/d Absolutely not worth it! Everytime something has been ages the time it takes is not worth it. Sure it doubles the price, but the efficiency of the gold per day, drops exponentially.
I honestly just RP my farmers. Made a lizardman farmer who only fishes and grows plants I think would be appropriate for a swamp (peppers, rice, etc) and crab pots. Also chickens, cause eggs and chicken just seems fitting.
Some tips I thought would be included: If you plant and harvest rice, then plant something in the same space on the same day it keeps its irrigation for that next crop even if it isn't rice apparently. Also rice unmilled rice can be used to make cheap pickles to befriend harvey and used as orange or yellow dye I think. You can make unmilled rice juice too for some reason. I wouldn't reccomend it but you can. Wheat makes hay and beer (the quickest keg recipe), thought you'd mention this! Tulips make a great cheap gift, gold ones make great emergency birthday gifts Red cabbage is used in some good recipes like fish taco You can also get ancient fruit seeds from the travelling cart, though I normally find them pretty easily as artefacts Once you have a fully upgrade barn/coop and have unlocked pigs and rabbits etc you can move them to any sized coop or barn! I have a big coop for chickens/ ducks and a tiny one with 4 rabbits in currently Most people know if you hold when watering on an upgraded watering can you cover a larger area and hold more water but he didn't mention it. This is the same for an upgraded hoe You can also get mahogany seeds from slimes in the secret woods which you can chair hop into if you need hardwood early You can also buy mushroom tree seeds in the walnut room You might be able to get a fruit tree sapling a little cheaper from the travelling cart, all fruit are liked gifts and can be processed by kegs/jars So many people like daffodils, they make great early gifts. A few people like salmonberries too, I like to keep them on me Rainbow shells along with prismatic shards can be used to dye clothes by themselves! No red, yellow, green, blue and purple slots needed! The training rod can also catch any fish in the mines as well as legendary Crab pots are great for fertiliser or making vast quantities of sashimi/maki roll as an easy food source and trash can be recycled All fish produce roe apart from squid, the dorado apparently needs high luck to catch, catfish can also be caught in if it rains in the secret woods in summer or witches swamp any time. Midnight squid produce more ink. Crystalariums can't dupe prismatic shards 😞
Small correction: during the crops segment, he said that cactus flowers can only be planted in the greenhouse or in a plant pot in the farmhouse. They can actually be planted outside, but only on ginger island. This will allow you to use sprinklers on them without wasting space in the greenhouse
It would be helpful to have a non twitter source for all the charts, either downloadable off of google drive or something similar. Anyone without a twitter account (like myself) cannot view the whole thread.
As a work around, if you go to the specific video that the image is from, there should still be a link to a single tweet of just that photo. That's how I've ben working around it for now 😅
I love your videos soooo much! The Airbender intro is so dope, and thank you SO much for making your amazing charts! They make my perfectionist brain super happy, lol 😅 I always have your videos on when I'm playing Stardew, lol. Super soothing and fun to listen to! Congrats again on the 200k!! Can't wait to see some Pokémon guides 😊😋
I always pick Prospector~ I don't want to waste wood for coal and I found in my first run where I did not pick that one I was always running out of coal! and buying it is so expensive~ I loved this series and I am watching again~ I like that you try to find something good about each option~ I always like the crab pots too! I usually grow poppies as gifts for the school teacher because she loves them and for some reason I don't find lots of emeralds until my second year usually ~~ Anyway love your videos ^^
Special note on ancient fruit. You can grow them through all 3 seasons meaning if you stockpile on seeds you can get at least 2 seasons of ancient plants(i recommend deluxe speed grow due to it giving you an extra harvest). Also great experience when you get it up and going during normal farming seasons
A note about pineapple: They are the most space efficient crop that can be “watered” automatically. You can fit 137 of them in a 3x5 space via a big shed. Unlike Star fruit, however, you won't need to get the deluxe retaining soil in the garden pot each time, since the pot removes it upon harvesting a single-harvest crop. Edit: On versions 1.5.5+ you could use starfruit because fertilizer isn't removed. However on switch (and probably mobile too) it does remove fertilizer at present.
This is just false single harvest crops do not remove deluxe retaining soil from garden pots but I still agree on pineapples being the best option as replacing in garden pots suck And hops you have to harvest daily 1.5.5: Garden Pots no longer lose any applied fertilizers when they are harvested from. When placing a Garden Pot on Ginger Island on a rainy day, it will now spawn with its dirt correctly watered.
Love your videos in general, love all your guides (even though I have a ton of time in the game - there's always something new or a new angle), and love this one in particular - very deep. One thing though (and I don't think anyone pointed this yet, sorry if someone did already): - 24:05 - for incubating, color of the egg only matters for void or gold chicken. White, brown, and blue chicken all can be hatched from either brown or white egg - it's RNG and rolled at the time you first enter the coop after it's time for that egg to hatch. So, same as with buying chicks from Marnie, it is possible to brute-force certain color - by restarting the day, if you really desperate or determined and don't mind doing it possibly ump-teen (time X) times.
I use tea saplings as fences around pastures containing farm animals. Tea plants don't decay so don't need to be repaired or replaced, and will give you tea leaves except in winter.
Every year that a fruit tree in in the ground it will increase the quality of the fruit it produces. If I plant a fruit tree in year 1 it will produce silver in year 2 gold in year 3 and iridium in year 4. If you put fruit trees in the greenhouse it will only count the exact day and season it was planted. If I plant one summer 12 year two it will produce silver quality summer 13 year 3.
Fun thing about the wheat seeds, for the farming video, in one of my runs I tilled my whole standard farm Year 1, apart from the other crops I was growing, and planted wheat. No need to water, because there is almost a guarantee that it will rain 4 times between summer and fall, and I think I netted about 50-100k from it, but I don't remember.
I’m relieved to hear you say the Scorpion Fish is the hardest fish because it gave me ABSOLUTE HELL lol Had to use the trap bobber for the first time to catch it lol
I did the math, the production time of an emerald is 2:02:00 vs a diamonds as a 5:00:00, and you can trade in the emeralds for cheese on fridays, and with the artisan profession that is acually 163.8 gpd vs the diamonds 150, there fore more profitable
also if you ever were thinking about trading in your diamonds for triple shot expresso, dont, its more profitable to sell the diamond and then buy 5 coffees from gus, then turn them into a triple shot expresso :)
I've found that common mushrooms seem to increase both energy and health more than other forage items including blackberries. If you choose to have daily mushrooms in your farm's cave, you get more of the common mushrooms than needed to keep you going in the mines and other activities. Other mushrooms from your cave are valuable as ingredient for the otherwise expensive life potion which can save you from dying from monster attacks while mining.
I only actually crafted a slime egg press well after my slime hutch was fully stocked, I had surplus eggs from slime slaying and realized any one egg, even a green one, is a lot more valuable than the hundred slime it took to make it. That plus having 3 or 4 stacks of 999 slimes from resource hoarding made the egg press a pretty good profit source for a little while.
Just wanted to chime in and mention that radishes are one of the best, if not the best, sources of farming exp. You can shoot from farming 1 to 10 in a single month via radishes.
I cannot express the joy i felt upon hearing the completely deadpan "We'd feel more at home with a Pickles" from the sturgeon pond. Thank you immensely.

I always plant a massive field if wheat and because I usually get at least 4 rains per season, it'll be done with no maintenence at all
@@lemolea9571 Wheat is not the quickest keg recipe. Green tea and coffee ar way faster.
Corn also grows for two seasons summer and fall. Plus, it's a multiple harvest crop.
potatoes is also a great option for this since multiples drop from one harvest
Another note about Botanist is because you only get Iridium Quality foragables it saves space in storage and your inventory!
Main reason i take botanist. That inventory space is precious!
it’s such a relief tbh
^ this is the way
Gotta say, I’ve seen all of these but that ATLA intro is more than enough to get me to watch this whole thing again.

@@slwrabbitsthe drops aren't random as ypu have to kill the mob in a certain place in the mines for it to drop the auto petter. if u think itd be easier to get it through the dangerous mines, there are charts that show where to kill the mobs to get an auto petter 😊😊
Fantastic guide! Thank you for all the effort and information. Also, lol at "Sping" I'm glad I caught your notation there haha
About 41 seconds in to the vid and I’m showing support in every way I can just because of the sheer amount of effort
This helped me so much when I met my ex and started learning stardew valley with her bcoz she loved it... it didnot work out after a year but- I'm left with this amazing game. It still reminds me of her even after so long but I'm trying to get back to it.
sorry to hear that things didn't work out with your ex - hopefully, over time, you will be able to enjoy the game without having to also think about them. it takes time and patience, don't force yourself to play if it'll be a bummer. the game will always be there when you're ready for it.
@@sethescope I'm not the person you were talking to, but that was such a kind comment you made!!
You sir are THE GOAT! Thank you so much for helping out this 46 year old simpleton lol. Fantastic video! I have no nostalgia value in playing the game as I've only been gaming for a year, and to be honest I'm not a fan of 2D pixelated graphics as they look old-fashioned to me, but this type of video gets me excited to play the game -that is huge for me. I am mid-spring in the first year and started to enjoy it now. Thanks again :)
Have I ever played stardew for more than 5 hours. No do I still fully intend to sit here and watch all of this. Absolutely
You can convert 1 jade to staircases to 99 stone using deconstructors. It is worth It if you don’t want to buy stone from robin or you don’t have the time for farming stone in the mines.
You truly spoil us Sal! Keep up your amazing videos!!! Love this series!
this is so incredible. thank you. i will forever be bad at fishing, but that's okay.
Blackberry is also used in Blackberry cobbler which you can cook a lot for a certain qi quest you will not loose a lot of money for qi gems
24:15 white vs. brown also matters for perfection and the "full shipment" achievement: to ship one of every item, you need one normal and one large of each color
The most complete video I have seen on this topic, it contributes a lot, thank you very much
I have probably watched this a million times! I love every part and the charts are so detailed and dont even get me started on the uniform stardew color scheme that you’ve implemented! My compliments to the chef 👨🍳
A very important note about parsnips in year 1: They have the best rate of return if money is the limiting factor.
example with 100g and 12 days...
parsnips:
buy 5 seeds, grow 4 days, sell for 175g
buy 8 seeds, grow 4 days, sell for 280g (+15g that was unspent) =295g
buy 14 seeds, grow 4 days, sell for 490g (+15g that was unspent) =505g
potatoes:
buy 2 seeds, grow 6 days, sell for 200g
buy 4 seeds, grow for 6 days, sell for 400g
after 12 days parsnips makes you about 26% more g, but takes up an average of 3 times as much space
A nice thing about green beans since they regrow so fast is that they make great gifts. Most villagers like vegetables, so green beans can make great early game gifts for the time, money, and space invested in planting them.
Shame the green bean hotpot isn't the most accessible recipe early on...
Note:
Hops have a unique relation with the Keg and the Large Shed.
A Large Shed can have 137 Garden Plots, and if you put in the Delux Retaining Soil, they will always be watered.
With two more Large Sheds, you can put in 137 Kegs in each one. As the first harvest comes in, you put them in the first shed, then next say the other, by the third you get the first 137 pale ale, then rinse and repeat. Since it takes 1.5 days for a keg to produce the ale. You now produce 41k every day (Roughly everyday).
It becomes an infinite loop. Making them repay for themselves extremely quickly.
The main cost is the Sheds, Kegs, Garden Plots and the Delux Retaining Soil.
Also instead of making Wheat Flour from wheat, put it in a keg to make beer, which makes it so every 5 days you get X times 200g basically making 1 wheat pay for 20 wheat which is way worth that extra day of waiting. Did the calculations a bit later so take note.
A Beer sells for 200 gold without artisan trait 280 gold with artisan trait. This literally makes (200 - 10) / 5 = 38g/d or (280 - 10) / 5 = 54g/d.
This means in otherwords, it is well worth the extra work.
So this is how you do it, plant as much wheat you can, in 4 days, harvest it, and put it into kegs, then plant as much wheat you can again. Sell the beer, and wait for the next harvest. Rinse and Repeat, this will give you 14 total harvests through summer and fall. It is quite a lot of beer you will be selling.
Oh and the Tealeaves can also be pickled in the preserving jars. Making more money out of them (150 without the artisan skill).
Also added note: This is VERY IMPORTANT!
DO NOT, and I say again DO NOT Age Starfruit Wine into Iridium Quality! It makes you LOSE MONEY.
Ok so here is the deal;
Starfruit takes 13 days to be harvestable, and it takes another 6.25 days to make it into wine, which makes its worth 2250 or 3150 with Artisan Trait.
That is a total of 19.25 days so we get 116.88g/d or 163.6g/d.
Compared to the 75.25 days in total to make a Iridium Quality Wine for 4500g or 6300g making 59.8g/d or 83.7g/d
Absolutely not worth it! Everytime something has been ages the time it takes is not worth it. Sure it doubles the price, but the efficiency of the gold per day, drops exponentially.
I honestly just RP my farmers. Made a lizardman farmer who only fishes and grows plants I think would be appropriate for a swamp (peppers, rice, etc) and crab pots. Also chickens, cause eggs and chicken just seems fitting.
Just bought the game yesterday, this is so helpful already
14:00 you forgot you can also put it in a keg to make beer!!
I watch these videos while playing . Endless 🔁
Some tips I thought would be included:
If you plant and harvest rice, then plant something in the same space on the same day it keeps its irrigation for that next crop even if it isn't rice apparently. Also rice unmilled rice can be used to make cheap pickles to befriend harvey and used as orange or yellow dye I think. You can make unmilled rice juice too for some reason. I wouldn't reccomend it but you can.
Wheat makes hay and beer (the quickest keg recipe), thought you'd mention this!
Tulips make a great cheap gift, gold ones make great emergency birthday gifts
Red cabbage is used in some good recipes like fish taco
You can also get ancient fruit seeds from the travelling cart, though I normally find them pretty easily as artefacts
Once you have a fully upgrade barn/coop and have unlocked pigs and rabbits etc you can move them to any sized coop or barn! I have a big coop for chickens/ ducks and a tiny one with 4 rabbits in currently
Most people know if you hold when watering on an upgraded watering can you cover a larger area and hold more water but he didn't mention it. This is the same for an upgraded hoe
You can also get mahogany seeds from slimes in the secret woods which you can chair hop into if you need hardwood early
You can also buy mushroom tree seeds in the walnut room
You might be able to get a fruit tree sapling a little cheaper from the travelling cart, all fruit are liked gifts and can be processed by kegs/jars
So many people like daffodils, they make great early gifts. A few people like salmonberries too, I like to keep them on me
Rainbow shells along with prismatic shards can be used to dye clothes by themselves! No red, yellow, green, blue and purple slots needed!
The training rod can also catch any fish in the mines as well as legendary
Crab pots are great for fertiliser or making vast quantities of sashimi/maki roll as an easy food source and trash can be recycled
All fish produce roe apart from squid, the dorado apparently needs high luck to catch, catfish can also be caught in if it rains in the secret woods in summer or witches swamp any time. Midnight squid produce more ink.
Crystalariums can't dupe prismatic shards 😞
_Maybe the real skill we obtained in Stardew Valley is the friends we made along the way._
A three-hour video from Sal? Omg blessed 😍
Small correction: during the crops segment, he said that cactus flowers can only be planted in the greenhouse or in a plant pot in the farmhouse. They can actually be planted outside, but only on ginger island. This will allow you to use sprinklers on them without wasting space in the greenhouse
It would be helpful to have a non twitter source for all the charts, either downloadable off of google drive or something similar. Anyone without a twitter account (like myself) cannot view the whole thread.
Good to know
As a work around, if you go to the specific video that the image is from, there should still be a link to a single tweet of just that photo. That's how I've ben working around it for now 😅
My favorite Stardew Guide on RUclips
I love your videos soooo much! The Airbender intro is so dope, and thank you SO much for making your amazing charts! They make my perfectionist brain super happy, lol 😅 I always have your videos on when I'm playing Stardew, lol. Super soothing and fun to listen to! Congrats again on the 200k!! Can't wait to see some Pokémon guides 😊😋
I always pick Prospector~ I don't want to waste wood for coal and I found in my first run where I did not pick that one I was always running out of coal! and buying it is so expensive~
I loved this series and I am watching again~ I like that you try to find something good about each option~ I always like the crab pots too!
I usually grow poppies as gifts for the school teacher because she loves them and for some reason I don't find lots of emeralds until my second year usually ~~
Anyway love your videos ^^
Your intro had me giggling.
Thanks for the comprehensive guide! Hopefully this will help me when my spouse and I start our farm!
Excellent content as always, looking forward to your continued Expanded/Modded playthrough aswell!
The Pokémon snap music made my soul happy
Loved the series, and having a compilation video is just the cherry on top. Thanks Salmence! ✌🏼
Hey Sal, thank you! You’re one of the go to voices I have in my ears while I’m setting the restaurant up.
Great background noise for junimo kart, I finally just beat it and I would not have been able to stay awake this long without it
Special note on ancient fruit. You can grow them through all 3 seasons meaning if you stockpile on seeds you can get at least 2 seasons of ancient plants(i recommend deluxe speed grow due to it giving you an extra harvest). Also great experience when you get it up and going during normal farming seasons
i really needed a calming video like this to get my mind to stop racing. thank you friend
I just watch these every time I start a new play through to plan everything out
Entertaining, educational, informational, and an ASMR tier voice. Yup, this is download worthy 120%
kinda wish when robin and clint raised their prices it increased your sale price for those materials too. it would make sense
A minor point, but you say that a duck feather is only useful as a loved gift for Elliott. But it's a required bundle item.
A note about pineapple: They are the most space efficient crop that can be “watered” automatically. You can fit 137 of them in a 3x5 space via a big shed. Unlike Star fruit, however, you won't need to get the deluxe retaining soil in the garden pot each time, since the pot removes it upon harvesting a single-harvest crop.
Edit: On versions 1.5.5+ you could use starfruit because fertilizer isn't removed. However on switch (and probably mobile too) it does remove fertilizer at present.
This is just false single harvest crops do not remove deluxe retaining soil from garden pots but I still agree on pineapples being the best option as replacing in garden pots suck
And hops you have to harvest daily
1.5.5: Garden Pots no longer lose any applied fertilizers when they are harvested from. When placing a Garden Pot on Ginger Island on a rainy day, it will now spawn with its dirt correctly watered.
@@zaineoakley5555 That explains it... I play on Switch primarily.
This video is worth being proud of. I loved each of the individual videos and having all in one is a great idea
I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK TO DO TONIGHT THANK YOU SAL!!!!!!! I’m about to be so productive ✨
Watching you talk about how you couldn't find the geode, made me find the geode, which led to my first prismatic shard in Year 1
Love your videos in general, love all your guides (even though I have a ton of time in the game - there's always something new or a new angle), and love this one in particular - very deep.
One thing though (and I don't think anyone pointed this yet, sorry if someone did already):
- 24:05 - for incubating, color of the egg only matters for void or gold chicken. White, brown, and blue chicken all can be hatched from either brown or white egg - it's RNG and rolled at the time you first enter the coop after it's time for that egg to hatch. So, same as with buying chicks from Marnie, it is possible to brute-force certain color - by restarting the day, if you really desperate or determined and don't mind doing it possibly ump-teen (time X) times.
21:47 pineapple seeds can also be gotten from cracking open golden coconuts
I use tea saplings as fences around pastures containing farm animals. Tea plants don't decay so don't need to be repaired or replaced, and will give you tea leaves except in winter.
Nice. An informative video that I can sleep with while listening
Midnight carp can be caught in the cindersap pond (not river) as well as the lake. The pond makes that 10pm time not seem quite as late.
Man you can be proud of this. The intro was so hilarious I cried.^^
THIS INTRODUCTION BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY!!! 💙💙
I love A:TLA so much, adored how you incorporated it into the video structure! 🥰
feels like that little guy with cat ears is giving me a presentation. Having the items he talks about next to him xD
Every year that a fruit tree in in the ground it will increase the quality of the fruit it produces. If I plant a fruit tree in year 1 it will produce silver in year 2 gold in year 3 and iridium in year 4. If you put fruit trees in the greenhouse it will only count the exact day and season it was planted. If I plant one summer 12 year two it will produce silver quality summer 13 year 3.
Fun thing about the wheat seeds, for the farming video, in one of my runs I tilled my whole standard farm Year 1, apart from the other crops I was growing, and planted wheat. No need to water, because there is almost a guarantee that it will rain 4 times between summer and fall, and I think I netted about 50-100k from it, but I don't remember.
Neptune's Glaive carried me through my first playthrough. I didn't know how lucky I'd been until all my subsequent runs!
I’m relieved to hear you say the Scorpion Fish is the hardest fish because it gave me ABSOLUTE HELL lol Had to use the trap bobber for the first time to catch it lol
I was not prepared for the Avatar the last airbender intro I love it
i got the wood mallet from a very early special enemy drop, a black star slime. gotta love the free weapon upgrades.
Wait - Can we giving and round of applause to that bomb a$$ intro?! 👏👏👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!
No cuz these guides are the ones I always watch when I played on my first save file. Thanks Sal!
I did the math, the production time of an emerald is 2:02:00 vs a diamonds as a 5:00:00, and you can trade in the emeralds for cheese on fridays, and with the artisan profession that is acually 163.8 gpd vs the diamonds 150, there fore more profitable
also if you ever were thinking about trading in your diamonds for triple shot expresso, dont, its more profitable to sell the diamond and then buy 5 coffees from gus, then turn them into a triple shot expresso :)
I've found that common mushrooms seem to increase both energy and health more than other forage items including blackberries. If you choose to have daily mushrooms in your farm's cave, you get more of the common mushrooms than needed to keep you going in the mines and other activities. Other mushrooms from your cave are valuable as ingredient for the otherwise expensive life potion which can save you from dying from monster attacks while mining.
Playing this while working on going for perfection for the first time (which has been overwhelming but fun) love the video
yes!!!! i have like 200hrs in this game but these guides are still so helpful thank u for making a supercut 😊💙💙
as a long time stardew valley player and avid ATLA watcher, this was AMAZING
I only actually crafted a slime egg press well after my slime hutch was fully stocked, I had surplus eggs from slime slaying and realized any one egg, even a green one, is a lot more valuable than the hundred slime it took to make it. That plus having 3 or 4 stacks of 999 slimes from resource hoarding made the egg press a pretty good profit source for a little while.
For the rocks, another way to look at it is the un-upgraded pickaxe row is the health of the rocks, and the pickaxes do 1-5 damage based on upgrades.
Bless you❤❤ Just started this game with my husband turns out we were doing a lot of things inefficiently
Ok let’s watch this new salmence vi ... Wait... 3 hours?!
Sht up fake
38 minutes in and we finally started talking about skill levels. Yessss
Have I even got star dew valley? No. Did I watch this whole super cut? Yeah
Just wanted to chime in and mention that radishes are one of the best, if not the best, sources of farming exp. You can shoot from farming 1 to 10 in a single month via radishes.
57:00 rainbow shells can also be used for dying clothing, a cheaper alternative to prismatic shards
I’ve watched each of these videos about 5 times each. Now I can repeat-watch this instead. Thanks!
