Takeaways
- 😀 Mistake 1: Plan your crop field layout early to accommodate sprinklers, saving time later and preventing frustration.
- 😀 Mistake 2: Prioritize buying strawberries in Spring to boost early game profits and avoid financial struggles.
- 😀 Mistake 3: Don't waste spring forages on energy or selling them. Use them for crafting spring seeds and tea saplings for future profit.
- 😀 Mistake 4: Sell crops and fish directly to Pierre and Willy in Spring to fund further purchases and upgrades.
- 😀 Mistake 5: Purchase a fish smoker early to convert fish into easy profit. Smoking catfish during Spring boosts fishing income.
- 😀 Mistake 6: Fish ponds are valuable! Upgrade them to increase production, especially with the new Animal Cracker item.
- 😀 Mistake 7: Use the elevator to grind bugs between floors 10-30 in the mines for easier progression and better weapons like the Insect Head.
- 😀 Mistake 8: Ancient seeds are worth planting early for long-term profit, especially with ancient fruit and wine-making later.
- 😀 Mistake 9: Track villagers' gift items to benefit your Community Center bundles, and reset the day if needed to get the items you want.
- 😀 Mistake 10: Prioritize barn upgrades to acquire pigs early. Pigs are highly profitable due to truffles, especially with the Artisan profession.
Q & A
What was the first major mistake the author made in their Stardew Valley journey?
-The first major mistake was not planning the field layout with sprinklers in mind. This led to wasted time and energy during crop planting and watering, as the author had to repeatedly redo their fields to accommodate sprinklers later.
Why did the author recommend planting and selling as many strawberries as possible in Spring?
-Strawberries are the best profit source early in the game, making it easier to afford necessary upgrades and tools, as well as other expenses. Failing to stock up on strawberries in Spring resulted in financial struggles later on.
What mistake did the author make with Spring forages like dandelions and leaks?
-The author made the mistake of either consuming or selling these forages for little profit, instead of storing them for crafting recipes, such as the spring seeds and tea sapling recipe, which could have been more profitable.
How does the tea sapling become a profitable item?
-The tea sapling, once grown, produces tea leaves that can be harvested daily for 50 gold each. Additionally, after harvesting, the sapling can be chopped down to produce another sapling, which can be sold for 250 gold, making it a profitable long-term investment.
What is the benefit of selling crops and fish directly to Pierre and Willy, especially in Spring?
-Selling crops and fish directly to Pierre and Willy allows the player to immediately use the money for reinvestment in more crops or tool upgrades. This streamlines the early stages of the game and makes progress smoother.
Why was the fish smoker a missed opportunity for the author?
-The fish smoker could have been used to increase the profit from fish, particularly by smoking catfish during Spring. The author missed this opportunity, which would have provided an easier source of income while waiting for crops to grow.
What was the author's initial opinion on fish ponds, and how did it change?
-Initially, the author thought fish ponds were useless, but later realized their value, especially with the lava eel fish pond, which produces valuable lava eel row. The addition of animal crackers in patch 1.6 also allows for doubled production, increasing the profitability of fish ponds.
What is the importance of the insect head weapon in the mines?
-The insect head is a level six weapon that can be obtained by defeating 80 bugs in the mines. It is highly useful for progressing through the mines and can help the player reach floors 80-90 quickly, making it a key tool in combat during the early stages of mining.
How can the first ancient seed found by the player be used effectively?
-The first ancient seed should be planted as soon as possible, as it takes an entire season to grow. The author recommends using sprinklers to set up the greenhouse layout in advance and saving ancient fruit for wine production, which can be a profitable late-game strategy.
What was the author's biggest mistake in their Perfection run?
-The biggest mistake was an inefficient greenhouse sprinkler layout that required constant reworking. This mistake delayed the author's progress significantly, especially when trying to accumulate the necessary resources for the golden clock and reaching perfection.
