1. Infinite Money Glitch In Stardew Valley
Did you know that you can take some money, and magically turn it into considerably more money?? It’s simple. Ensure that you have tons of kegs and the artisan profession. Then on a Friday, head over to sandies oasis. Buy as much honey as you can afford, the more the better. Then head home, and turn all of that honey into mead. The honey from sandies only costs 200 gold each. But when you turn it into Honey, you will make 420 gold. Effectively doubling your money instantly!!! The best part? It only takes half a day to turn honey into mead. This is truly broken.
2. Magic Syrup Is Much Better Than You May Know.
Mystic syrup is more Over powered than any of you know. Mystic trees with the tapper profession and those Juicy Heavy tappers will give you one mystic syrup after only three days. Each mystic syrup sells for 1250 gold. That means that each mystic tree generates over 400 gold per day. That’s more profitable than ancient fruit…. But wait, there is more….. You can eat mystic syrup!!! They will give you five hundred energy and two hundred and fifty health… They’re basically one of the best healing foods in the entire game… Use them for money, and to stay alive in the mines .
3. Fishing In Stardew Valley Is Broken Now.
One of the easiest ways to print money in this game is with Fishing. I know what you’re thinking, fishing only makes good money in the early game. This is absolutely false since this latest update. Here is the setup, get a Deluxe iridium fishing rod. Get some lava eels, and drop them into bait makers to get lava eel bait. Then use a trap fishing bobber, and a Quality bobber.
Naturally drink some seafoam pudding and use the master enchantment on your fishing rod. Now catch as many lava eel as you can. The bait will make them bite much faster. The trap bobber will make them easier to catch and the quality bobber will ensure that you only catch iridium quality fish. Smoke these up with fish smokers and literally swim in money… Enjoy being rich as heck.
4. Biggest Stardew Valley Mistakes with Animals.
You love your pigs. You love watching them find truffles and yeah, you have the botanist professional that guarantees you to only harvest iridium quality truffles. It’s great! So lovely… However pigs used to be the best animal in the game.. The 1.6 Update with Golden Animal crackers have taken Ostriches, and turned them into absolute pure profit machines. We are talking about half a million gold with only twelve ostriches and the best part? You don’t need to waste time every single day harvesting truffles.. It’s easier, it’s better. Use ostriches okay?
5. The True Best Farm Cave.
There is always this argument that puts the mushroom cave up against the fruit bat cave. Well, that argument ends today. The mushroom cave comes with one free Dehydrator. This will be the easiest and cheapest processing machine you will ever get in your playthrough and will allow you to snowball and get that early game gold.
6. How To Fully Utilize Birthdays In Stardew Valley.
You are underutilizing villagers’ birthdays!! Listen here, get a calendar from robin and drop it in your house. Now you know exactly when it is someone’s birthday. Now when it is their birthday, give them an iridium quality loved gift. Then give them a stardrop tea or two. Doing this on their birthday will take their friendship from zero hearts to eight hearts in a split seconds.. Birthdays are just over powered. Abuse them.
7. Make Use Of Cabins To Get Rich.
There are now a bunch of new cabin designs in the game. That’s cool but not important.. What is important is that you fully upgrade all of these cabins! Listen, you can plug in a controller and upgrade all of those cabins to the max level. This will allow you to have more room to age wine and cheese!! Casks are restricted, you can only drop them in your basement. So just get eight basements bro, it aint that hard.
8. Best Mastery For Profits.
There are five masteries and yeah, of course you need to get all of them… However, I always get the farming mastery first. That’s because you will be given an Iridium scythe! This thing is broken. First, it will save you tons of time by harvesting crops on your ginger island farm, and yeah its much quicker. However there is also an iridium scythe secret. It increases the range that you can harvest by. This is what I mean. I have a green house field with garden pots in a way that my character cannot harvest everything. Only with a scythe can I fully utilize this space and get tons and tons of crops inside a tiny little shed.
9. Boms are holding you back.
Bombs are just absolutely incredible.. They will let you mine an entire floor within mere seconds… It’s no secret, bombs are needed. However this update has drastically increased the price of bombs!! Do not buy bombs unless you are already a millionaire!! They are actually not hard to craft, just use the burglar ring some monster must and defeat loads of enemies so that you can craft up your own bombs. Your pocket will thank you.
10. Honey Is Key On Ginger Island.
If you are like me, you love Honey. Especially on your Ginger island farm. Look at this setup, this simple little honey setup makes three hundred thousand gold every four days.. It’s madness. However, here is the reality. You need eight coal for each and every single bee house.. It is ridiculous. You need to constantly be farming for coal. Either by crushing little dust sprints repeatedly.. Or by mining for those new coal nodes in the quarry.. Don’t skip the quarry, there’s free coal there for you!
11. Stardrop Tea Is Much Better Than You May Know.
Stardrop Tea is by far the best gift in the entire game. It’s a loved gift for every one, and you can give someone fifty of these on a single day if you wanted to. They do not count towards the two per week limit. So you need to be getting Prize tickets as often as possible. Do the help wanted quests, and do the special order quests. Do them as soon as they become available every single week… You need stardrop tea, trust me.
12. Dinosaurs Are Holding You Back.
You might have seen this new Treasure Appraisal guide book and seen that it triples the value of all artifacts!! That sounds crazy right??? Wait, Dinosaur eggs are considered artifacts and it works on them as well!! That means that an iridium quality Dinosaur egg sells for 2100 gold each. Sounds incredible right? Wrong. The truth is that one dinosaur will make one week a week, that’s four a season. That’s only 8400 gold per dinosaur per season… All I want to say is, do not waste your animal crackers on dinosaurs.
13. The Pan Will Set You Up For Success On The Dig Site.
By now you know that the Dig site is by far the best place to be in the entire game. Lemme explain… First get yourself an iridium pan with the Archaeologist enchantment. You will find tons of panning spots here, and with this enchantment you’ll be getting treasure troves from panning!! Then, get yourself an iridium hoe with the same Archaeologist enchantment! Use some treasure totems at the dig site and hoe up even more treasure troves!! Treasure troves are great, they give you golden pumpkins and even treasure chests! You can kind of print money at the digsite.
14. Tea Tree Saplings Are Not Good Anymore…
Back in the day we would craft up loads of Tea Tree Saplings. These were one of the easiest ways to get absolutely loaded in the early game. It just worked!! You could easily farm up hundreds of these and sell them for five hundred gold each, ensuring you unlock the Desert in your first summer. Well, that is just no longer the case…. They sell for half of that now!! Not bad, still viable, just not nearly as good as they used to be.
15. Mistake With Golden Animal Crackers.
I know you have a couple fish ponds with lava eels, sturgeons and yeah you already dropped golden animal crackers on those. Now you already know that if you take those fish out to swap them with a new fish, those golden animal crackers will be gone forever! However you should still do this!! The truth is that Mr ConcernedApe fixed Legendary fish in Fish ponds. They are now, just absolutely broken. Lose the golden animal cracker, drop a legendary fish in that fish pond. You’ll find another golden cracker, don’t worry about it.
16. The Best Mushroom Log Setup To Ever Exist.
Mushroom logs are incredible, especially if you surround them with trees so that they can produce the most amount of valuable mushrooms. This is my setup. My setup is horrible. Your setup might look like mine. I found the absolute perfect setup on reddit that will maximize your mushroom yield with the smallest amount of space possible. It looks kind of chaotic, and it actually uses trees that are not fully grown which is wild to me, but it’s insane.I use exclusively mystic trees to ensure we mostly get purple mushrooms, the best mushroom a man can get.
17. The New Crops In Stardew Valley Serve A Unique Purpose.
Listen, summer squash, carrots and broccoli are all brand new crops that are kind of hard to grow since we can’t easily grow them. However, we will get some seeds by simply playing the game. Now here is the secret with these crops. They should not be grown with the intention to sell for money. No, that is not their purpose. These crops exist purely as an early game source of energy and health! Grow these regardless of their sell value, grow them to eat in the mines. That’s their true purpose.
18. How To Maximize Profits With Mushrooms.
Look at this mushroom tree setup. I am absolutely swimming in valuable purple mushrooms!!! What’s the next move? Drop these into dehydrators and get dried mushrooms that sell for loads of gold? No! Wrong… Stop it. Use Preserve jars instead. Yeah, they sell for slightly less, however you will have five times as much mushroom jelly as dried mushrooms giving you considerably more money. This alone will make you rich.
19. Fish Smokers Are Truly Game Changing.
This latest update has given us something that makes fishing viable for not just the early game.. You know what I am talking about, the legendary fish smoker!! You know that an iridium quality legend will sell for forty two thousand gold… okay who the heck actually drops legendary fish into fish smokers and sells them… Fortunately you don’t need to!! Since iridium quality Smoked Lava eels will seriously make you rich… This is not a game, this is indeed a get rich quick scheme and it works. All thanks to the Fish smoker that will allow you to stack the artisan profession with the angler profession increasing the sell price twice.. I need not say anything more.
20. You Are Underestimating The Volcano Dungeon.
The volcano on Ginger Island is interesting. Your regular Iridium pick ax is not good enough here. It will require two hits of your pick ax to harvest regular rocks, this can greatly slow down your progress! However if you enchant your pick ax with the Powerful enchantment, you can destroy rocks in one hit again!! Ginger island is often overlooked as a place to farm for resources. You should come here more often! You can get copper, iron, gold, iridium and most importantly Cinder Shards. Farm the Volcano More!! There are chests in here with insane items! Get the items, and get some resources while you’re at it.
That was twenty of the most important things that are stopping you from being rich in Stardew Valley. If you learned something today checkout this post about 20 Game Changing Stardew Valley Tips and Tricks.
