If you have a seed-maker, you only need one of each season's forage. Wild horseradish for spring seeds, spice berry for summer, common mushroom for fall, winter root for winter. Then... you can sell or process the rest. Hint: save the crystal fruit for wine.
I'm so glad that this helps so many people. The person who taught me to play Stardew Valley never knew this (after playing for two years) and was stoked that he learned it. Those forageables are worth money!
if anyone is familiar with clay farming patterns on the beach, during winter it will give you an ENORMOUS amount of winter roots to put in seed-makers. and if for some reason you wish to obtain spring/summer/fall seeds, you can trade your winter seeds at the desert trader on saturdays
I will point out that, while starfruit wine is individually worth more than ancient fruit wine, you can get two ancient fruit wine in the time it takes to get one starfruit wine, so ancient fruit wine is by far the more profitable, especially when you factor in buying seeds and speed-gro.
If you're willing to do profession swapping to get 8 day grow cycle for starfruit, it is more profitable, even taking into account both the seeds and speed grow costs. Also definitely more of a hassle to have a big job every 8 days, but it is definitely easier to get massive amounts of starfruit vs ancient seeds
@@lauravanderplas7664 Well, now you're having the take into account purchasing both fertilizer and spending money to switch professions. You might speed up the growth of the starfruit but then lose the value due to the extra spending. You also then have to take into consideration the numbers of both. There absolutely would be a point where too few wouldn't be worth it. Finally, there's the time spent cutting into profits of other methods of earning gold. I was doing a very simple 1:1 comparison not including time or money spent on anything but seed. We're talking about a big list of things to calculate. I'm still going with Ancient Fruit Wine being more profitable overall.
@@Craxin01 Fertilizer is only a one time purchase, but even if you needed to buy it every time with an 8 day grow cycle it is still more profitable per harvest ^^ You are definitely right that people generally overvalue starfruit in comparison to ancient fruit, but I was mostly just saying that even in a late game scenario where you have all the ancient fruit seeds you could wish for, you can still consider starfruit if you don't mind the planting you need to do at the time you're harvesting anyways (profession swapping only needs to be done when selling, but that is also time that could go into making money elsewhere if you really are hard min-maxing beyond year 1
It's really so random. I had a playthrough where I couldn't find one for the first entire year. My luck was awful. I have a newer co-op playthrough with my husband, and we have gotten five in the first two months. That is no exaggeration. Two from the secret cart, two from the mines, and the first one was an artifact spot. We laugh every time we get a new one like, this is so insane!!! 😅 It's one of the craziest playthroughs we've had out of so many.
The actual ancient seed is one of the last artifacts I have left. I only got a plantable one by using the seed maker a ton because every time has a small chance for them.
Additionally, when you choose Botanist, you would also have Gatherer. And it works on truffle, so you will pick up iridium truffle and have 20% to pick up 2 at once
Don't wait to plant your ancient fruit! It will take you forever to get started that way. Plant whatever seeds you get through the spring, save all the fruits and chuck those in seed makers. By the time you get the greenhouse unlocked, you'll already have a nice little pile of ancient seeds ready to plant in your new greenhouse with a good speed grow and getting a bunch more you can turn into seeds every week soon after. Since they grow on the farm in every season except winter you've got time to make your stockpile in advance of getting the greenhouse. If you only start once you get it you'll have maybe 2 or 3 seeds, if you've been really lucky, and then it will take up to 28 days before the amount of seeds pr day you can make goes up. If you plant an ancient fruit plant within the first or second week of spring you get 7-8 fruits to turn into seeds which could potentially be 21-24 new plants from just one seed, if you make sure to get 3 seeds every time, by about the time you get the greenhouse. Much more profitable than waiting. Your original plants will die once winter hits but by then you'll have at least 15-24 new seeds pr plant depending on when in spring you plant. This is without speed grow, too, so if you get that it could be higher. Because no, it won't change the 7 days between harvests but it can shave 3-7 days off the initial 28 days to mature.
@@jacky9575 bad luck! If you want them, the best way to get them is to kills grubs and bugs in the mines and the mutant bug lair. Be sure to farm all the fiber while you move around there as that is a profitable but limited resource.
I will include it in a future video, I still need to practice abit and learn how to do it further into the pattern. I can do the beginning easy, but I get lost as you go further through it
Clay farming will likely be patched out in 1.6 concernedape isn't very fond of it and the patch notes for 1.6 from the wiki tell us that some unintended lack of randomisation was removed
my cycle on all my sdw new farms is 1st day doing trees and foraging thats lvl 2 foraging alr. count your trees, 7-9 is lvl 1 and ignore the stump 2nd day beach fishing start with training rod and swap to other pole when you reach lvl 1 fishing. why beach? to buy the pole upgrade before willy closes 3rd day fish catfish all day, 5 is generous enough since they dont show a lot 4th day donate artifacts,buy backpack.. yes dont ignore it since 5th day to idk until you bore keep mining 14th day put all money on strawberry
Hello i just found out about this yesterday but sandy can sell you a deluxe speed gro for 50 gold or 60 each while in pierre you can buy it 150 and you can buy star fruit on sandy so you can partner thoses 2 you can have an insane profit
@Al0neStillAlive yess in my original save file I have a shed full of these, all surrounding the statue of true perfection and statue of perfection lol!
I like clay farming early game boring and annoying as hell but very profitable I can get like 1000 per day on average which is very good early game but not good late game and I hate fishing and am not very good at it so I don't fish
Someone said that ageing the goat cheese instead of wine in casks(in the basement) is more profitable, but I don't know if they deduct the cost of the animals, farm building and silos(I like to have two silos to make sure I have enough hey and they're pretty inexpensive to build).
So basically I make 1.5 mil a week by 1. I have 400 kegs that make me 400 a ancient fruit wine a week for like 800k and 2. Truffle oil with 36 pigs I make around 700 truffle oil a week which make me the other 800k
Dont forget to throw your coconuts into the preserves jar! You can use them to make wine as well but more likely than not you will have other fruits that will produce more valuable wine, so dont waste your keg time with coconuts!
I tried the tea tree sapling. My Caroline had already two hearts when I found out about this and when I get into her garden.... nothing. What should I do to get the recipe?
on day 1 all i did was roam around the town and use all of my money for cauliflower and add some mixed seeds. day 2 fishing until level 5 and sell all the fishes(or save some chubs for energy in mining)to buy a LOT of potatoes and the parsnips will be energy foods in mining. and mostly on day 5 im already in the mines and speedrun until i get to floor 40 or 80
Why do so many videos mention a 300% value increase in kegs. Its just wrong, and everybody repeats the same wrong value. Its 200% increase. Its value changes from 100% to 300% or 3x, its a 200% _increase_.
this is ridiculous i’ve seen a million tiktoks and shorts about stardew valley, and i have like 800 hours in game, but i’ve never ever heard of a flower honey
Have you played Graveyard Keeper? It's not quite exactly like Stardew Valley, but it has some similarities. A bit of a grind in the beginning but quite fun towards the end game!
You do not have to limit ancient fruit to ginger island and the greenhouse. Have 10-20 seed makers and you can just sacrifice part of a single batch every year to restore a large ancient fruit field, and since you can use Junimo huts they take zero maintenance up until you put them in a keg
The Artisan profession does not affect the price of oil. ;) I was so glad to see you include tea saplings & waiting for Fishing level 5! If you don't mind waiting for a crazy amount of cash, sell your extra (higher quality) produce as is but hold onto Artisan Goods until Farming level 10. You should hit it before winter, esp if you're growing lots of high XP crops. Trust me, it's almost always worth it! Also start out with potatoes for the most early cash to let you buy strawberries. Cauliflower takes too long, plus potatoes can give you extra potatoes at harvest. And only process fruit in kegs, as it's more profitable than veg. Veg gets less of a price increase with kegs than fruit.
Here’s my way of making money! i did the duplicate statue of perfection glitch (the purple one) i duplicated them until i had 60 and placed them in my basement, and every day i can get 20k-40k gold by selling iridium ore for 100 gold each. in a week you can get a 100k gold or more!

@@gamingvibes9770 you need to level up in foraging (or farming, not sure), then you will get the crafting recipe. Welcome to the Stardew Valley. 😀

count your trees, 7-9 is lvl 1 and ignore the stump

you can buy obelisks and a golden clock from the wizard and those are really expensive

Price for tea sapling was halfed in the newest update
Another great way is chopping wood, you can easily get 150 in a day, sell those for 2g each in the box next to ur house and get 300g

Way to do math! Numbers don't lie.
in 1.6 the price of the Tea Sapling was changed. it's not as valuable now. but they work Great for Animal Fences
I'm very confused about repeating level 15 for ancient fruit, why level 15?
For super late game, if you already have the diamond crystalariums, switch them for jades to get max stairs for deep skull caverns dives
I really like this video 🤩
Glad you liked it!
Many more to come
1. Fish
2. Get enough money for blueberries
3. Get wine kegs
4. ???

I went into Caroline's tea room but nothing happened what should I do?
Ik it's late but the cutscene only triggers from 9 am to 5 pm on non raining days -- you likely went in too late and it wouldn't trigger.
Question: do sprinklers have a better version? I saw yours waters eight tiles around it but mine only waters 4
there's an upgraded version of it the 8 tile one is one of them, while the iridium one is the next best
Easy way[74]
Is this for mobile? Or xbox?
You do not have to limit ancient fruit to ginger island and the greenhouse. Have 10-20 seed makers and you can just sacrifice part of a single batch every year to restore a large ancient fruit field, and since you can use Junimo huts they take zero maintenance up until you put them in a keg
