If every Wiki in the world was as detailed as the Stardew Valley Wiki, we would have progressed to interstellar exploration. The ease and efficiency to find all the info you need is incredible, made even better by creators like you who make it all visual and fun! :)
I love that they have pages for item categories (like every wallet item or every hat) with a brief description of how to obtain them, and THEN a more detailed page on every individual item which lists more specific info like percentage chances from drops
i think minecraft wiki more detailed and technical minecraft > stardew v > terraria terraria wiki is good actually but because the game itself isn't too complicated to learn and memorize
You forgot to mention my personal favorite day to day food- the crab cakes which are fairly commonly dropped by iridium rock crabs and gave an all day long speed buff
Was just about to comment this too. I wake up and eat a crab cake every day! The speed buff is amazing. For skull cavern I eat gold quality spicy eel for speed and luck and gold quality cheese when needed for health/energy.
One thing you missed is its role as loved gifts for villagers. For some it's a cheap and easy loved gift (sushimi for Sebastian) and for others they ONLY have cooked meals as loved items (Pierre and Alex).
Alex is so granny's baby and you can tell by the way his only loved items are food. Pierre is just a dumbass he probably slams the table and tells Caroline to hurry up the dinner
One item I don't see mentioned very often is the energy tonic, bought from Harvey's Clinic at 1,000g. It is just barely outclassed by salad from a price standpoint, but is only about 3% and 1% more expensive for how much energy and health you get, respectively. It's effectively full energy and health, so I think it's worth it. I can't really blame anyone for forgetting about it, Harvey's Clinic is probably one of the most forgettable places if you don't count that one time it violated the Geneva Convention.
@Iwannaeatlasagna What about the mine? You can pickaxe the soil there, and hoe it again to get another drop chance. Not sure how well it works for clay, but it's there as an option!
@@Iwannaeatlasagna I feel that. Playing on Mobile and Chromebook (same app in the app store, different controls) and the difference is night and day. Fishing is somewhat easier on mobile but mining? Oh boy is that rough. Combat is 100x harder than it has any right to be since you can barely get into range, gotta let the enemies walk into you, because you can't walk onto "half squares". You CAN change the controls in your settings to show a joystick on the screen that you can use to move your character, but that's not much better and manual swinging is still not happening no matter what lmao
I think the roots platter is something of note, just takes a cave carrot and winter root which are both things you can very easily get in winter and just a short bit in the mines, in turn you get 100 energy and +3 attack
I think crab cakes are the most underrated food item in the game. All day long speed buff, I use them when I'm not in the skull caverns and just wanna get around town faster
Wow, I didn't realise they lasted a whole 16 minutes, that's 4x the duration of triple coffee and double pepper poppers! I'm gonna have to give Crab cakes a go!
I would have mentioned as well is that certain foods are loved gifts for villagers. So if you go for perfection, cooking everything, you might want to save the loved items and not sell them right away to have something for birthdays. Also, Gus, Shane and Evelyn send you cooked items in the mail the more hearts you have with them. Otherwise it is a neat and good overview for food. And let's not forget the trash bear and Pierre's sashimi quest!
As of 1.6 getting some mushroom logs immediately after the green rain means life elixirs forever which is so good for both skull caverns, volcano dungeon and dangerous mines
I love how informative your videos are! I am surprised you didn't mention Qi's seasoning as that can boost the effects of food by 1. That's handy to know. Great video though!
Qi seasoned seafoam pudding is amazing late game to nab the legendary fish, even if you're not that great at fishing! Add a trap bobber and you're golden.
As a fishing buff, my favourite is Fish Stew, which is easy to make from crab pot items - crayfish, mussel, and periwinkle, plus tomato. Gives 3+ fishing buff and lasts all day. Willie gives you the recipe at 7 hearts. I've always found that enough of a buff to catch any fish. Dish o' the Sea gives the same buff but doesn't last very long - but it's available very early on. For straight energy, cheese of course, or gold hops (81 energy), or pineapples are simple, stacking items that are easily available once you get to those levels in the game. As you go through the game, you move from things like field snacks/mushrooms/berries to better and better easy sources of energy as they become available.
I don't think you mentioned dish of the sea, but since it just requires one sardine, one potato, and one oil, and gives you +3 to fishing, it's way more economical than seafoam pudding but almost as good!
Excellent guide! Tysm for the hard work you put into these! I've played a lot of stardew, but your guides have managed to surprise me with one or two tidbits of new info each time.
I find gold quality cheese to be probably the best healing item, if only because you're going to be drowning in it late game. Of course, it too kind of has the issue you mentioned where you can just sell it and buy salads, but it's typically still pretty convenient.
Gold quality cheese is the best for me. It costs nothing to have, and it restores a lot of health and energy. It doesn't have any buff, so I'll eat something else first, but then the cheese to not lose the buffs.
Even tho it's not worth actually cooking most of the time I personally got a ton of value out of the Fish o' the Sea that you get as a bundle reward, it helped me catch all the legendary fish by summer of year 2
Salads are great, but Blackberry Cobbler is the food I can mass produce the easiest (assuming I use the leave-and-come-back during the blackberry season). It heals like half my health, and while it doesn't have any buffs, you can eat a buff food and keep eating the cobbler all day without worrying about the buffs being replaced
Ahh, I worried I was the only one who was fueling my playthrough with Blackberry Cobblers! People rag on wheat and beets for not being good money-makers, as well as the mill for being an eyesore. But carrying around a giant stack of cobblers 24/7 makes it so that I basically never run out of energy or health, and they don't overwrite any food-based buffs I may be relying on while in the Skull Caverns or the Volcano, while fishing, etc. And I know a lot of people don't bother picking berries past the early game, which is understandable, but I really like the bi-yearly ritual of it--it breaks up the monotony of Skull Caverns runs, checking Ginger Island for more Golden Walnut opportunities, etc.
Extra shout-out to Sashimi for being one of the best early-mid game stockpile foods. While this will cripple any good money making from fishing, if you get up to fishing 10 and went cheaper crab pots->no bait for 2 copper bars and 50 wood you can get a 66% chance of getting a sashimi every day, easily scaleable higher and higher. I did this in a multiplayer world with a friend and we've gotten 30 pots up by end of summer year 1, for a minimum of +20 sashimi every day
Unless I was specifically wanting to farm refined quartz, I think the "no trash" would be a far better perk than not needing bait. The cost of bait is much smaller than the lost value from the trash. And if you are doing lots of pots, the effort is pretty minimal.
I quite like lobster bisque for mid to late game fishing. Once you can make or buy crab pots put a bunch in the ocean and the recipe is just a lobster and a milk. Pretty doable and offers a +3 fishing buff. Much easier than sea foam pudding and will last most of the day. ☺️
@@spookysomeone Yes I know it is, but the 1 ½ hours in the time makes a big difference when you're fishing for the legendary fish. Lol Time to me makes a difference. This way I can go after other fish. Like the lave eel in the mine.🙂
cooking is probably one of my favourites parts of Stardew Valley. I knew almost everything you said, but since I really love cooking, I had to watch the video anyways XD
Crab Cakes are my go to for 'casual' skull cavern runs (ie, for enjoyment, not 6-figure profits). You get more than you use, and speed + defense is a solid combo.
Hello, I just learned about Stardew Valley, so I'm about 7 years late I guess. But I love the game so far. Your content and your way of explaining things has been super entertaining and helpful so far! I just wanted to say thank you for the nice tips and all of those videos! Have a great day 🧡💜
Dish O' The Sea was my preferred fishing food early on - sardines, potatoes, and oil, gives +3 fishing. Sardines were one of the first fish I got a lot of, so it worked out well. Life Elixir definitely doesn't heal me all the way. I haven't checked exactly how much it heals when I use it, but if I'm very low on health it'll definitely not heal all of it.
In my late game save, I used cheese (gold) from large milk, but then started using pineapple (iridium) for energy restoration. Easy, convenient, and very restorative.
Your channel is becoming my ultimate comfort channel because you're informative, entertaining, and my OCD just loves extremely organized information, charts, lists, and tutorials when I'm stressed out at work or trying to unwind at night. The only problem is that I have been lulled to sleep sitting upright many, many times because your content is so relaxing and cozy.
also, good tip if you feel lost in cooking recipies, instead if looking one by one, press ctrl + f in your keyboard and search for the item name in the full cooking page on the wiki. this shortcut shows EVERY instance of that word in the page you're at, AND how many time it appears, so it gets easy to discover if you need an item for cooking or not, and also how many of them you need.
10:00 If you always keep all the Rubies you acquire, every single ruby can become a Spicy Eel at any day of the week at the Desert Trader. If you have 6 or more, the crystalarium value mid-to-lategame with this is some of the easiest speed-access to stack with coffee you can manage, both short and long term. Every time you harvest the crystalariums, you can double the out-put rate, if you're willing to make the extra crystalariums. It's really good to have your speed boost source for the skull cavern re-fill itself from both the skull cavern, and any (mega especially)-bomb farming you'd do in the caves.
Also, it is worth noting that the max energy buff is bad because it doesn't fill out to the maximum amount. So, say you have 200, it's gonna grant you 250 MAX energy and you're still at 200, meaning you still need to eat to make up that difference. The only way it would ever be viable is if it also gave max HP. Until then, do not waste your time with making tea, just make tea sapplings and make that cash.
Spicy eels can be purchased from the desert trader for a ruby, so it's good to save rubies for that. Honestly I have 4% cooking so this video has taught me a lot. Great video as always
you can stock up on Crab Cakes after a 6 heart event with Willie to get him crabs for Gus, buying as much as you can spend, the speed up + defense are 2 good stats for mining and the effect lasts all day, freeing up one slot and never having to worry about reapplying the speed up pepper poppers or spicy eels use
I was trying to get the Iridium Krobus statue, so i made a Seafoam pudding and a trout soup so i can get that +5 fishing. I ate that pudding then the soup and to my suprise… it doesn’t work like that. I accepted the defeat and go fished up some squid with my +1 fishing.
Mining level has no impact on finding normal ore nodes. It only (very minorly) effects gem stone nodes, and more significantly effects gem nodes and mystic stones.
It's definitely not a cooked dish, but I always default to cheese as a plain healing item - super easy to make in bulk, and better than salads for healing and energy recovery. Just for anyone wanting a much cheaper alternative!
just when i think the good content is coming to an end I find more great videos to watch...your channel is awesome, thanks for making all of these vids. life's really beating me up at the moment and my playthrough of SV is really helping me to relax...as well as your content, mainly due to your relaxing voice and delivery...so thank you :)
I started listening to these guides as background noise while I play. I'm in Year 2 and heavily use the wiki, so I'm mostly picking up the occasional tip. One of the things I used the wiki for was to get a list of every item required for cooking and crafting everything, which I have been gathering throughout Year 2. What I find funny is this video started as I got the last ingredient and started cooking everything. Talk about timing.
awesome video as always. ive recently gotten back into stardew and all of your videos are such a treat. i love your voice! perfect to play alongside the game. thanks so much for your dedication!
Another great video! You're my favourite Stardew Valley youtuber- such informative, fun and well put together videos, and I love how you always sound happy 😄 love listening to you! ❤
My main foods to go for are Sashimi until I get the Eggplant Parmesan recipe with the green house. I rather grow a variety of crops that regrow instead of one type in the green house. Two of these crops are tomatoes and eggplants for that recipe. The mining and defense buffs feel better to have when going into the mines for ores.
Really great video! I really appreciate the timing of you making this because I've just recently starting delving more into the cooking mechanics in Stardew. It probably would have been good to mention Qi Seasoning as it's really important for end-game, being able to increase any buff except for speed by 1 level.
Only food where magnetism is actually worth using which is miner's treat because it gives a mining buff and can be bought through the dwarf in the mines I often use it for skull caverns when i use a slingshot
I find the defence buff to be indispensable, Especially in skull cave, i've had too many floors where like 5+ serpents swarm me and all the healing food in the world is pointless when i panic and get hit so hard and so fast i question why i brought food non-buffing to begin with
I like the Crab Cake for days where I'm just putsing around (gifting, petting animals, decorating, etc.) because the speed buff lasts the entire day for me.
I got a Magic Rock Candy from the flying skull monsters... Not knowing how rare it was, I ate it, ran into the skull cavern, VERY beginner player (started early February), and died at floor 20 because.. I was very under prepared... I will never forgive myself
in the ridgeside mod, there's a recipe for matcha lattes and those give a +2 speed boost for basically the entire day. ridgeside recipes are kinda OP ngl
I love mods when it comes to cooked foods because there’s so many possibilities like that! There’s not a single recipe that gives a mining and speed buff together, even though it’d be a good combo
Yay! ^--^)/ I love food, I am a passionate hobby cook IRL and I already began collecting some of the recipes of stardew valley, I am very happy to be presented with such wonderful topic by you. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your time and effort, and most important, your soft and chill expression and attitude.
Thank goodness the Cookout Kit is now available at Level 3 instead of Level 9. It's a great Year 1 Spring/Summer item to make up for the huge amounts of energy you expend at lower levels doing basic tasks. Also a lifesaver for long days spent mining.
it's easier to make when you get to end game but the fruit salad replenishes so much energy & health! def one of my go to's to bring along on skull cavern runs.
I recently made a Google doc with all the ingredients needed for every recipe and how to get every recipe I haven't already got.. I crave perfection and this is the hardest bit!
I tend to use sashimi for bulk healing. Cheap fish become sashimi, valuable fish are sold. One days fishing can fuel two or more solid skull cavern runs.
Great video! I appreciate the content, I've been utilizing the foods more in my recent playthrough. On a random note, I love your voice. I could listen to all day!
fish tacos, dish o the sea, roots platters, lucky lunches... some of my favorites pumpkin soup is my fave for skull cavern too. btw: "the wikipedia" is not the same as 'the wiki'! Wickpedia is the Free Online Encyclopedia. "The Wiki" for our purposes refers to the Stardew Valley Wiki. Wiki is the open source web based/browser/'content management system' that was used to create both Wikipedia and our Stardew Valley Wiki. Great video as always! : )
So one thing I love doing now that I have Ginger Island unlocked (so spoiler if that matters for you): Once you unlock the sleep hut on the island, you can make a good amount of sashimi every morning on the island because of the mussel nodes on the south beach. I've got the Pirate profession atm, so they effectively double value (although it's the food I just carry around with me right now).
I generally use lucky lunches for skull cavern when I can. I have a fishing pond with sea cucumbers so I can just fish some out once the pond is full. I will be trying pumpkin soup though, that one looks good.
same, that 1 luck difference is a LOT when it comes to Skull Cavern. Pumpkin Soup is probably for defense so you last a little longer, but to offset this, what i did was i bought Oil of Garlic from the Dwarf in the mines for 3k gold. sure i loose 1 speed but at least the lack of enemies let's me not care much about defense.
Crab cakes lol. After I get the cutscene with willy I usually spend the next 3 days selling everything I can to afford to buy them from the saloon. They last like 15 minutes which is usually longer than the while day for me. I use them for speed all day long instead of coffees.
Joja cola gives 20 seconds of speed in 1.6 now which definitely isn't enough to seek out but it helps if you're say like rushing home from fishing all day and you caught some
Lucky lunch is my favorite! Two luck rings, qi seasoning, lucky lunch, ginger ale, a good luck day and a stack of stairs and you're swimming in autopetters
The fishing buff also changes what's available in Willy's shop, this might be unintentional, maybe added in 1.6, but I definitely got some stuff in the shop a day early and went back the next day before I got the level and notice it gone.
Spicy Eel is dropped by the serpents because they are exactly that - SPICY EELS
Does this imply they are culinary cannibals OR are they getting "smoked" by your blade?
@@jazmindoddsIdk, I just put hot paprika on my Galaxy sword just in case🤷♂️

That and the diversity of the Arch wiki. Even AI models could benefit from good wikis.
there is a caveat, you might end up reading the wiki more than actually playing
I love that they have pages for item categories (like every wallet item or every hat) with a brief description of how to obtain them, and THEN a more detailed page on every individual item which lists more specific info like percentage chances from drops
i think minecraft wiki more detailed and technical

terraria wiki is good actually but because the game itself isn't too complicated to learn and memorize

The garlic oil isn't considered a food or drink, so you can stack it with a drink and food combo
The same also applies to monster musk
Does the same apply with squid ink ravioli?
@@youssefbencheikh8637no that is considered a meal so its not able to be stacked
So, the best combination is Ginger Ale + Triple Shot Expresso + Pumpkin Soup
@@GrimTheDestroyer no, ginger ale and triple shot espresso are both drinks so they won't stack
You forgot to mention my personal favorite day to day food- the crab cakes which are fairly commonly dropped by iridium rock crabs and gave an all day long speed buff
you can also buy an u limited amount of them for a limited time after seeing a certain willy heart event
@@fleaboy5555 yup!! i bought 999 of them after the event. i’m married to elliott and he loves them so,, double use!!
:O I didn't know that they did that!!! I have like three stacks of the things!!
Was just about to comment this too. I wake up and eat a crab cake every day! The speed buff is amazing. For skull cavern I eat gold quality spicy eel for speed and luck and gold quality cheese when needed for health/energy.
I just find them useless, since there are better foods like Spicy eel from flying green things.
You mentioned pumpkin soup in a previous video, it changed my entire life. I now have a part of my farm dedicated to pumpkins for that exact purpose 🍲
I’m so happy to be bringing people into the salvation that is Pumpkin Soup
Spread the good word
I see another has been converted.. I am so happy ^_^
Same here! :D
it's good IRL too.
If you wish to stock up on spicy eel you can also use crystallariums to duplicate rubies and buy spicy eels from desert trader

I think crab cakes are the most underrated food item in the game. All day long speed buff, I use them when I'm not in the skull caverns and just wanna get around town faster

Your channel is becoming my ultimate comfort channel because you're informative, entertaining, and my OCD just loves extremely organized information, charts, lists, and tutorials when I'm stressed out at work or trying to unwind at night. The only problem is that I have been lulled to sleep sitting upright many, many times because your content is so relaxing and cozy.
This video is so helpful for all the players who aren’t really fimiliar so thanks!!
also, good tip if you feel lost in cooking recipies, instead if looking one by one, press ctrl + f in your keyboard and search for the item name in the full cooking page on the wiki. this shortcut shows EVERY instance of that word in the page you're at, AND how many time it appears, so it gets easy to discover if you need an item for cooking or not, and also how many of them you need.
Another great video! Love watching these thank you for all your hard work 💞!
10:00 If you always keep all the Rubies you acquire, every single ruby can become a Spicy Eel at any day of the week at the Desert Trader. If you have 6 or more, the crystalarium value mid-to-lategame with this is some of the easiest speed-access to stack with coffee you can manage, both short and long term. Every time you harvest the crystalariums, you can double the out-put rate, if you're willing to make the extra crystalariums. It's really good to have your speed boost source for the skull cavern re-fill itself from both the skull cavern, and any (mega especially)-bomb farming you'd do in the caves.
I love your videos. I listened to you whole LP when I was playing on my farm and it feels like hanging out with a friend 👍
Also, it is worth noting that the max energy buff is bad because it doesn't fill out to the maximum amount. So, say you have 200, it's gonna grant you 250 MAX energy and you're still at 200, meaning you still need to eat to make up that difference. The only way it would ever be viable is if it also gave max HP. Until then, do not waste your time with making tea, just make tea sapplings and make that cash.
Spicy eels can be purchased from the desert trader for a ruby, so it's good to save rubies for that. Honestly I have 4% cooking so this video has taught me a lot. Great video as always
2:45 please note the cookie recipe from Gus is only unlocked if Evelyn’s 4 heart event bugs out and doesn’t give you the recipe
you can stock up on Crab Cakes after a 6 heart event with Willie to get him crabs for Gus, buying as much as you can spend, the speed up + defense are 2 good stats for mining and the effect lasts all day, freeing up one slot and never having to worry about reapplying the speed up pepper poppers or spicy eels use
I was trying to get the Iridium Krobus statue, so i made a Seafoam pudding and a trout soup so i can get that +5 fishing. I ate that pudding then the soup and to my suprise… it doesn’t work like that. I accepted the defeat and go fished up some squid with my +1 fishing.
Mining level has no impact on finding normal ore nodes. It only (very minorly) effects gem stone nodes, and more significantly effects gem nodes and mystic stones.
It's definitely not a cooked dish, but I always default to cheese as a plain healing item - super easy to make in bulk, and better than salads for healing and energy recovery. Just for anyone wanting a much cheaper alternative!
the slightly exasperated “sam…” at 9:00 followed by pleasant surprise is so good i couldn’t pay attention to anything after
This is so good. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
just when i think the good content is coming to an end I find more great videos to watch...your channel is awesome, thanks for making all of these vids. life's really beating me up at the moment and my playthrough of SV is really helping me to relax...as well as your content, mainly due to your relaxing voice and delivery...so thank you :)
I like crab cakes. They give you speed for pretty much the whole day. Makes foraging a lot easier.
Glazed Yams.
My go-to food bar none. Cheap to make, massive restore, and considerable pizazz. I'm surprised it's not mentioned that often.
Love these videos. A guide to friendship would be great. It’s the thing I always neglect so it ends up being a complete pain.
get a calendar and a lot of rabbits - soon, everyone but Penny will love you
I started listening to these guides as background noise while I play. I'm in Year 2 and heavily use the wiki, so I'm mostly picking up the occasional tip. One of the things I used the wiki for was to get a list of every item required for cooking and crafting everything, which I have been gathering throughout Year 2. What I find funny is this video started as I got the last ingredient and started cooking everything. Talk about timing.
I usually end up cheating in my games because I get frustrated, but your videos are helping me feel more confident in playing without cheats
Tbh farming buffs are probably the highest level buff because they let you get higher quality crops and thus more money
awesome video as always. ive recently gotten back into stardew and all of your videos are such a treat. i love your voice! perfect to play alongside the game. thanks so much for your dedication!
"Someone cooked here,"
Another great video! You're my favourite Stardew Valley youtuber- such informative, fun and well put together videos, and I love how you always sound happy 😄 love listening to you! ❤
Once a Prismatic Shard was dropped in the mines and it bounced into the walls.
I wouldn't have gotten it if not for my Magnet Ring
My main foods to go for are Sashimi until I get the Eggplant Parmesan recipe with the green house. I rather grow a variety of crops that regrow instead of one type in the green house. Two of these crops are tomatoes and eggplants for that recipe. The mining and defense buffs feel better to have when going into the mines for ores.
This was a neat clip to help me brush up on my rusty Stardew knowledge.
Thank You so much.
Really great video! I really appreciate the timing of you making this because I've just recently starting delving more into the cooking mechanics in Stardew. It probably would have been good to mention Qi Seasoning as it's really important for end-game, being able to increase any buff except for speed by 1 level.
YEEESSSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Only food where magnetism is actually worth using which is miner's treat because it gives a mining buff and can be bought through the dwarf in the mines
I often use it for skull caverns when i use a slingshot
I find the defence buff to be indispensable, Especially in skull cave, i've had too many floors where like 5+ serpents swarm me and all the healing food in the world is pointless when i panic and get hit so hard and so fast i question why i brought food non-buffing to begin with
I like the Crab Cake for days where I'm just putsing around (gifting, petting animals, decorating, etc.) because the speed buff lasts the entire day for me.
13:51 “Or you can make the sprinkle shirt :3”
one time it just kept showing me the stir fry episode over and over again, knowing i hated stir fry.
I got a Magic Rock Candy from the flying skull monsters... Not knowing how rare it was, I ate it, ran into the skull cavern, VERY beginner player (started early February), and died at floor 20 because.. I was very under prepared... I will never forgive myself
in the ridgeside mod, there's a recipe for matcha lattes and those give a +2 speed boost for basically the entire day. ridgeside recipes are kinda OP ngl
I love mods when it comes to cooked foods because there’s so many possibilities like that! There’s not a single recipe that gives a mining and speed buff together, even though it’d be a good combo
Yay! ^--^)/ I love food, I am a passionate hobby cook IRL and I already began collecting some of the recipes of stardew valley, I am very happy to be presented with such wonderful topic by you. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your time and effort, and most important, your soft and chill expression and attitude.
I remember trying out recipes from Harvest Moon! And my favorite salad is a recipe from a manga.
Thank goodness the Cookout Kit is now available at Level 3 instead of Level 9. It's a great Year 1 Spring/Summer item to make up for the huge amounts of energy you expend at lower levels doing basic tasks. Also a lifesaver for long days spent mining.
Man I love this person's voice. I need them to read me a bed time story.
it's easier to make when you get to end game but the fruit salad replenishes so much energy & health! def one of my go to's to bring along on skull cavern runs.
Right now I'm gathering every ítem needed to cook every recipe and I think I'm going crazy 😭
I recently made a Google doc with all the ingredients needed for every recipe and how to get every recipe I haven't already got.. I crave perfection and this is the hardest bit!
Cheese. It restores ~100 health if gold star and is easy to get in bulk.
Yeah, I'm late but so what? That "collections" wiki page is a lifechanger!
It’s genuinely the best page of the wiki, and it’s so hard to find!
Idk what it is about this game but I loveee the food crafting so much!!
the bottom of the pyramid bit was amazing 😂
This makes me happy that this was posted the day after I got the pink cake recipe( the last recipe I needed to get perfection)
THANK YOU FOR THE LINK TO THE COLLECTIONS YOU ARE MY HERO
It’s literally the best page in the whole Wikipedia, and it’s so hidden
I tend to use sashimi for bulk healing. Cheap fish become sashimi, valuable fish are sold. One days fishing can fuel two or more solid skull cavern runs.
Great video! I appreciate the content, I've been utilizing the foods more in my recent playthrough.
On a random note, I love your voice. I could listen to all day!
fish tacos, dish o the sea, roots platters, lucky lunches... some of my favorites
pumpkin soup is my fave for skull cavern too.
btw: "the wikipedia" is not the same as 'the wiki'! Wickpedia is the Free Online Encyclopedia. "The Wiki" for our purposes refers to the Stardew Valley Wiki. Wiki is the open source web based/browser/'content management system' that was used to create both Wikipedia and our Stardew Valley Wiki.
Great video as always! : )
So one thing I love doing now that I have Ginger Island unlocked (so spoiler if that matters for you):
Once you unlock the sleep hut on the island, you can make a good amount of sashimi every morning on the island because of the mussel nodes on the south beach. I've got the Pirate profession atm, so they effectively double value (although it's the food I just carry around with me right now).
I generally use lucky lunches for skull cavern when I can. I have a fishing pond with sea cucumbers so I can just fish some out once the pond is full. I will be trying pumpkin soup though, that one looks good.
same, that 1 luck difference is a LOT when it comes to Skull Cavern. Pumpkin Soup is probably for defense so you last a little longer, but to offset this, what i did was i bought Oil of Garlic from the Dwarf in the mines for 3k gold. sure i loose 1 speed but at least the lack of enemies let's me not care much about defense.
@@dgsalvillai know this is old but you can stack oil of garlic with a drink/food combo, it doesn’t count towards your buff total
Krobus will also give you lucky lunch when he is your roommate!
Crab cakes lol. After I get the cutscene with willy I usually spend the next 3 days selling everything I can to afford to buy them from the saloon. They last like 15 minutes which is usually longer than the while day for me. I use them for speed all day long instead of coffees.
Also, great video and thank you so much for all the great info you share in these very helpful videos.
I use the combination of crab cakes and triple shot espresso and zoom around at hyperspeed all day long! :D
Joja cola gives 20 seconds of speed in 1.6 now which definitely isn't enough to seek out but it helps if you're say like rushing home from fishing all day and you caught some
Binge watching all of these Videos rn and loving it!
Lucky lunch is my favorite! Two luck rings, qi seasoning, lucky lunch, ginger ale, a good luck day and a stack of stairs and you're swimming in autopetters
The fishing buff also changes what's available in Willy's shop, this might be unintentional, maybe added in 1.6, but I definitely got some stuff in the shop a day early and went back the next day before I got the level and notice it gone.
wow these videos are really high quality, I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers!
Haha, just 6 months ago I was at 20k, we’re definitely getting there!
i like cooking certain food just because they look so tasty haha
