1. How to get more luck than anyone has ever before.
Okay listen this is absolutely insane. First cook up some boosted Ginger Ale with Qi Seasoning and drink the stuff. Then eat some Magic Rock Candy. Look at how many buffs you have, you are going to crush the skull cavern with this setup alone… Now go to the annual desert festival and go straight to the cook.
Choose Rare Fruit and Uncomfortably hot sauce as the ingredients and get this incredible dish that gives you both luck and speed. This meal is extra, and the buffs do not override any of your other buffs!! Look at how many buffs I have! The skull cavern is going to be absolutely destroyed with this setup! I had no idea the chef’s meal is additional to your regular food buffs! Nothing can stop you with a setup like this.
2. Stardew Valley Has a HIDDEN use for mushroom logs.
Mushroom logs have a secret use that you didn’t even think about. Get a setup like this, this way we have the ability to get tons of every type of mushroom in the game. Some mushrooms are more valuable than others, but we want the variety in this case. This is because you need mushrooms to craft up Life Elixirs.
Life elixirs heal you for 100 Percent of your health, they are one of the most effective items to eat in the mines to ensure you are healthy and ready to conquer!! Unfortunately Mystic syrup is so gosh darn good, that it may still be better however you can craft life elixirs much earlier than you can get mystic syrup.
3. Never accidently harvest flowers again.
Do you have tons of Bee houses set up for pure profit like this, but need to carefully harvest fairy rose honey out of fear from accidentally collecting a flower and ruining the whole setup? Yeah you could set your bee houses in a way that it is impossible to harvest the flower but that’s just not possible with a chaos setup like this on ginger island…
There is a solution for this that is so simple I think I have been an idiot this entire time! Just fill up your entire inventory with something random, like chairs except for one slot. Now you can harvest the honey, and it’ll literally be impossible to harvest the flowers!! Gosh, I wish I knew this 2 years ago..
4. This Stardew Valley Tip will save you in the early game.
Listen, Evelyn and Gus are the two best people to befriend in the early game. This is because they will send you food in the mail!! Food equals energy, and energy is crucial for your success. If you get some nice gifts from them, and it’s not what you need! You can simply reset the game, and check the mail box again. Do this repeatedly until you get some good energy filling food. You can also do this with Pam to get battery packs.
5. Not all Stardew Valley Tips and Tricks are made equally.
This might sound insane, however this tip can give you a huge early game boost. On the first day of your playthrough, head to Clint and buy a single piece of Copper. Then, he will teach you how to make the furnace on the 2nd day of your playthrough. Then, on day 5 when the mines unlock and you can dive for copper ore, you will be able to craft a furnace on the fifth day. Drop that furnace on the first floor in the mines and start getting copper bars an entire day earlier. It seems insignificant, it isn’t.
6. How to easily get the best speed buffs.
Coffee and Spicy eel are both absolutely crucial to your skull cavern runs. These are what will allow you to reach floor 100 and meet Mr Qi. However, spicy eel is just kinda hard to get.. Actually it isn’t. Rubies are a gem that do not sell for much. They can be duplicated using crystalariums and they only take 2 days. Get many rubies, and trade them in for spicy eel at the island trader… This will save you in the early game, you won’t regret it.
7. Innate enchantments secrets.
Innate enchantments are way better than you may know. There are 3 really cool combinations. First take any acceptable weapon and keep trying until you get both the Slime Gatherer and the Slime Slayer enchantments. Combine this with the slime charmer ring and you are now the literal slime king. Grab an Iridium needle and keep enchanting it until you get plus 75 Crit Power. This will cause your iridium needle to do just ungodly amounts of damage when you crit.
Get a really slow weapon, the slower the better. Then enchant it until you get like plus eleven speed!! This has now just become the fastest weapon in the game. It is kinda goofy, that’s why I love it.
8. Magic bait is unique and interesting.
Magic bait is interesting. It will allow you to catch any fish regardless of the season or weather and it’s best use is for those of you who are chasing after perfection. I won’t lie, I have used the stuff before. However, ensure that you never buy it straight from Mr Qi. Now that is just a waste of qi gems.. Always rather buy the recipe and craft the stuff yourself.. It is incredibly easy to craft after all.
9. Lava eels have a secret.
Lava eel fish ponds have a disgusting secret. As you know you can take fish out of the fish pond and they will slowly reproduce and fill back up. Well with Fish Smokers, we can take nine lava eels out, smoke them all up and sell them for a quick profit. Wait for them to reproduce and then do it all over again.. All while aging their eggs, effectively double dipping on profits. Yeah, Legendary fish can’t do that in the fish pond.
10. Get tons of battery packs with ease.
You need many battery packs. They are required for iridium sprinklers and for crystalariums, and I always just never seem to have enough of either. Back in the day we could glitch the system and cause every day to be a stormy day allowing us to swim in battery packs. That has been fixed, so just do it. Use gosh darn solar panels. Look at how easy they are to craft. Craft up solar panels, and you will have a guaranteed endless supply of battery packs. If you don’t need them anymore, you can always sell them for 500 gold each.
11. Deepest floor in the skull cavern.
This is obviously impossible in normal circumstances however did you know that the skull cavern has 2 billion floors. This is absolutely unnecessary as by the time you hit floor five thousand the entire floor is filled to the brim with iridium ore… However the game really doesn’t like being on floor 2 billion, everything kinda just glitches out and freezes so it’s probably good that we can’t get here through normal play.
12. Inventory secrets.
Alright check this out.. In the early game, if you have absolutely no inventory space left and for some reason do not have a chest in the mines.. You can kind of just dump items on the floor, leave and sleep. As long as you do not quit the game, those items will be laying there ready for you to pick up!
13. Secret use for signs in Stardew Valley.
I saw this on reddit today and I was absolutely amazed… You know signs, yeah these things that we can drop items on for display purposes. Well, you can drop paintings on these as well!! This looks a little strange, however this is the only way that we can get these paintings to be shown outside of buildings which is really gosh darn cool if you ask me.. Whoever found this, you’re incredible. Thank you kind sir.
14. Win at the trout derby.
The trout derby is an interesting festival, you need to fish and catch trout. Every time you catch a rainbow trout there is a chance that you will get a Golden tag that you can use to swap for a prize. The truth is that golden tags are not guaranteed. Even if you use rainbow trout bait, you are not guaranteed to get a golden tag. Unless you use Challenger bait! If you use challenger bait and get a perfect catch, you will always get a golden tag. Not that there are any really good rewards…
15. The truth about the scout profession.
The scout profession is deceptive! It states that it will increase your critical strike change by 50%. This makes it seem that you will have at least 50% critical strike chance. This is categorically false. This increases your existing critical strike chance by 50%. Your base critical strike chance is only 2%!! So yeah, the scout profession isn’t as good as it seems.
16. Hilltop farm has one redeeming quality.
If you picked the hill top farm you might think you screwed youself.. This farm layout is just really strange.. However it has an incredible redeeming quality that I think makes it incredible! First drop a mini obelisk right over here at the entrance to your farm. Then drop another one at your very own personal quarry. This is where the fun begins. Now move your farm house to your quarry!! Your house is now on top of a hill overlooking everything else! Comment your opinion on this, I think it’s pretty cool.
17. Topaz rings are broken in Stardew Valley.
I found a small bug. The crabshell ring gives you five defenses. The topaz ring gives one defense. You would think that if you combine these two, that you would get six total defenses. However that is just not the case, you will effectively lose all effects of the topaz ring which is very sad… I tested this with ruby and iridium bands, their damage effects do stack, so I believe this is indeed a minor bug.
18. Infinite Qi Gems trick.
Okay check out this glitch! Open up the chat window. You can do this by hitting T on the keyboard and by clicking on the right joystick on the console. Then type forward slash recount nuts. This will magically give you golden walnuts even if you have already found them all! Then just trade those in for QI Gems at Mr Qi’s store. You can do this over and over again to just absolutely swim in qi gems..
19. Strangest way to make money in Stardew Valley.
This is going to sound so absurd, you might just love it… Hops are insane, however they are only insane if you drop them into kegs and make pale ale.. Selling hops as they are is just horrible, look at how worthless they are.. It is actually better to drop your hops into seed makers and sell the hop starters as seed makers have chances to give you bonus seed!! That’s crazy, I doubt you’ll ever use this… Still interesting regardless.
20. Fire quartz in Heavy furnaces have a secret.
Fire quartz has a secret.. They are more than just a requirement for the community center and the museum…. Fire quartz have a similar ability to regular quartz, they can be turned into refined quartz by dropping them into a furnace. However fire quartz will create three servings of refined quartz which is much better than regular garbage quartz!! However it gets better. If you drop five fire quartz into a heavy furnace, there is a chance that you will get twenty refined quartz instead of three!! Now that is highly efficient.. Heavy Furnaces really are that good.
