I found the ol woody book on the first day and the first tree I cut down on my brand new save. Also, when I was checking the trash, a trashcan exploded and I thought I'd be getting my trashcan hat, but instead I got a trash furniture catalog with really shitty items in it. I love it!
Book of mysteries does not need to be found in specifically Golden mystery boxes. The wiki is wrong, You can find them in regular mystery boxes as I did. Easiest way to get a ton is just get as many calico eggs as you can from the desert festival and you can buy up to 10 a day of over the course of the 3 day festival.

One thing that these books add, specifically "Jewels Of The Sea", is Legendary Fish Roe. Someone on Reddit already posted this, but when they fished up Glacierfish Jr, they got a Glacierfish Jr Roe, thanks to the book. So, if you're a collector, hold off on fishing up the legendaries until you read Jewels Of The Sea, or Ape makes it so you can't obtain Roe from Legendary Fish.
Do uou get more money when uou ship legendary roe? Is this just for molders or will this come to consoles to. In the past uou couldn't put legendary in fish ponds
That was me, glad to see other people spreading the word! :) Definitely one of my favorite parts of the update. I finished my iridium quality fish collection in 1.5 and this gave me something new to work towards!
Also if you have extra books, you can give them to characters, and some have dialogue about it. (Learned this unpacking the XNBs again to update said custom NPC)
One of Willy’s loved gifts is actually one of the fishing ones. I forget which one but the game had it listed as if I had previously given him one even though I myself haven’t found that specific fishing book yet.
the skill books also work towards the mastery bar, I got an entire bar level halfway just from reading the books, so even if your skills are maxed they are still useful
Its because its experience towards that skill, which is converted to mastery once at that step, so probably only worth trading in once done with mastery, and saving them up if maxed with the skill but not unlocked mastery
@@pairot01 You can read them for mastery, but you don't need to. You can get exp just by harvesting crops, killing monsters and doing things that normally gets you exp.
You don't actually need to have golden mystery boxes for the book of mysteries, I've gotten it and don't have access to the golden boxes. It's possible to get it from the normal boxes.
I explained it to my mom like "You know when they remaster a game 20 years later and it's basically a sequel. That but it hasn't been 20 years and it's still not $60"
half of them are mods being integrated into game, other half are same old stuff but more of them now the queen of sauce cookbook even has the same icon as the mod, obviously he got permission from mod author to integrate it but nothing new unless you play it on mobile
I had no idea the books were even a thing until the monster loot one dropped off a random slime in a lower level of the mines. They’re such a cool addition to the game, I love the added effects
The friendship book is guaranteed as the 5th prize ticket item and you get prize tickets from the Shoreview request board....waaay more consistent than the egg festival, which happens once per year
Thanks for this Sharky, Ive just got the Ps5 and mobile update and needed some confirmation of several game mechanics all of which you have answered. In particular , many thanks for the two “secret” book locations which I would never have found by chance! Im really enjoying the update, the alternative ways to upgrade experience by buying books has rejuvenated my love for this game. The desert festival is awesome!
@@onedirectioninfection5756 You can also get it from regular mystery boxes, I think. There's more items in the regular ones though, so it might be harder to get that way.
i know im spoiling it for myself by watching the vids but i dont mind, its exciting to see the new stuff i can get to play with when the console update comes. oh a tiny question will you make a vid regarding the dehydrator and fish smoker to see how good they are and possibly the new looks for the juice, pickels, jellys etc at least for some of em
One thing I found out is that dehydrator is good for abundant stuff with low selling price per item like blueberry, cranberry, salmonberry and blackberry
The mystery box book doesnt have to be form a golden mystery box! I don't actually remember how i got it, i think it was just from a normal one> Either way I have it even though I never came across a golden mystery box
The raccoon seeds drops will very depending on the season you are currently so if you had opened that mystery box on spring it would have been carrot seeds
It is not, squid kid is an enemy in this game. It's more likely Squid Kid (techno's) named himself after this. Or because squid and kid rhyme so it sounded nice. But either way it's not a reference. Also I believe techno and squid kid are both no longer with us. R.I.P Legends
I wish there was more to do with books later in-game when you have more money and less to do with it. As is, most books give XP, a small reward like 100 wood, or some other benefit that is more appreciated early game when the funds are lacking, or you have better things to do like tool upgrades and animals. More kinds of books and booksellers could be fun. Imagine if we could buy and read the Solarion Chronicles and it teleported us to another world to fight monsters. Or that other book Sebastian mentioned. Or more DnD scenarios you could invite different NPC's to, and they'd all take to it differently. Or fancy cookbooks detailing quests to whip up great feasts for the whole town (with help from Gus and Junimos). Or old resistance newspapers from the Gotaro Empire, Ferngill market reports, and news from other towns.
Note that you can get the Book of Mysteries from ANY Mystery Box. I've gotten two from opening basic Mystery Boxes, so no, it is not exclusive to the Golden variant.
i bought the dwarvish safety manual, and when trying to read it i accidentally gifted it to him.. bookseller hasn’t sold it yet and i’m starting to get worried
i got the mystory book and a new book that you dident mention called the jewels of the sea you get them by the tresure chests and they give chances to find roe in chests
i think its a bug but the cart that shows up in the forest on Fridays and Sundays had combat quarterly for sale but I was able to buy multiple. took a screen shot and made it public on steam.
I bought the tree book from the bookseller and i read it, but it didn't show up in my "Special Items and Powers" tab. Do I need to find the book somewhere else for it to "count"?
I have only heard there is a book that makes you drive the buss to the dessert? So you don't need to wait for Pam? Or is that just a rumer?... :( Bcs, I do hate to wait for Pam bcs she is not standing there until late and I want to go to the dessert early so I can have more time mining.
Does anyone know what that cauldron icon is in the collection stream and how to get it? at 0:28 in the video - does that come from the wizard or how do you get it? also you can get the book of mysteries from normal boxes as well, we did get it from normals and we good woody's secret from hardwood trees :)
I dont know why, but Marnie doesnt sell the book. Is there some requirement? I am in autumn of year one, I already unlocked the possibility of more pets, but no book. Can you help? Edit: for example, the book in adventures guild is behind door, which can be opened after you slay 1000 monsters Edit 2: OK, she sells the book now. I am in spring year 2, 4 hearts with Marnie. But I still dont know what are the requirements
I have the same issue with my new game, I'm making the assumption that you need to have a high level of friendship with Marnie to unlock it but if it's different then I'll reply here again ☺️
What are the conditions for Marnies book, guys?! Anyone help?? She doesn't sell it for me yet, what do I need to do to get her to sell it?? Console player btw, still exploring the update lol.
I have a doubt about books, does anyone know if they share in multiplayer games? I mean some stuff like the Junimo statue doesn't share, so I think that the book on the Golden thing it's probably to be just for one player, if anyone can tell me about it, It'll appreciated

Just in from the future: you can put legendary fish in ponds now!
you can't automatically get the book at the adventurer's guild, you have to kill 1000 enemies first.

Or old resistance newspapers from the Gotaro Empire, Ferngill market reports, and news from other towns.
It's worth it to purchase and read all the other books even if you've maxed out your skills because it'll add to your mastery xp
I found the Book of Mysteries in a normal mystery box. 🤭
I found the book of mysteries in a blue mystery box.
What does it do?
I just got Book of Mysteries from regular (blue) Mystery box... so it not have to be gold one! :D
ive got 3 so far. just by playing. 1.6 has been a blast!
Note that you can get the Book of Mysteries from ANY Mystery Box.
I've gotten two from opening basic Mystery Boxes, so no, it is not exclusive to the Golden variant.
You are doing a great job with these videos, Sharky. Thanks a bunch!
The last screen of you having 4 mastery stars and missing the golden mystery box book is the exact same screen I have right now in my game haha 😅
book of mysteries ive also recieved from hitting the artifact spots
Woody secret is actually insane for getting more hardwood!
You can get the Mystery Book in regular Mystery Boxes. I haven't gotten a golden MB yet but have opened a lot of regular ones
Wow these books that have been added are awesome! Thanks for showing us all about them and how to get them 😃
If you have maxed all your skills you can read a book for the 1.6 mastery exp as well.
Mystery books are not found only in gold mystery boxes, I got mine from the normal blue mystery box.
i bought the dwarvish safety manual, and when trying to read it i accidentally gifted it to him.. bookseller hasn’t sold it yet and i’m starting to get worried
Just a small correction, book of secrets can be found on all types os mistery boxes, i found one in a normal mistery box
im not kiddin I got 2 prismatic shards just 10 or less mystery boxes away from each other processed in same time. My mind was blown
Be sure to read the experience books if your maxed out but haven't reached full mastery! the XP counts towards mastery!
I cant wait to play this update. Jus gotta wait untill it comes to consoles
i got the mystory book and a new book that you dident mention called the jewels of the sea you get them by the tresure chests and they give chances to find roe in chests

the jewels of the sea book is so nice i got pretty early on in my playtru and whit remixed bundles on i dident need to build fish ponds for the bundle

All these new books really make a no energy playthrough a lot more viable.
Im confused. do you read the book and dissapears? or you keep the bonus forever or just for a certain time?
the books get added to your wallet where your other bonus items get put like the key for the sewers and bears knowledge. so its a permanent upgrade.
Hi! Do I need to be a certain level or to have reached perfection? I can’t find any of the books
