- PLEASE MAKE SURE TO ENABLE ANNOTATIONS FOR THIS VIDEO!
So if you've watched my 24 hour stream or the little recap I did on it you might've seen me play Stardew Valley as well. I'm sure it's no surprise I've been playing a whole lot more of it after the stream was over because it's exactly the type of game I can get completely hooked on.
But as with most games I didn't start the game knowing a few tips and tricks that would've come in handy had I thought of it earlier so I'll be sharing what I've learned during my first year (well, 2 years at this point) with you in case you want to start playing the game as well with a little more knowledge going in!
The Ponyta and Meowth you're seeing in my gameplay are Pokémon mods! If you want to try them out too you can find them all here: community.playstarbound.com/th...

PLEASE REALISE THAT THIS VIDEO IS VERY VERY OLD! IF YOU'RE HERE CHECKING IN BECAUSE YOU JUST BOUGHT THE GAME ON THE SWITCH CONSIDER THESE CHANGES!
- Higher starred items do now give you extra friendship points when given as gifts.
- The secret woods require a Steel Axe not a Copper Axe.
- People do now in fact get upset when you date the whole town (imagine that).
Proper Bird Thank you!!
Proper Bird s
I got it yesterday thanks :D
Thanks :)
Still though thanks for the video even if it is old. The preparations for the fair helped a lot and luckily I got 7-9 Star Pumpkins, 1 star fruit, 1 star flower, and a large egg which scored me 92 1st place :3
Shane gives me stolen stuff from Joja Mart and I only have two hearts with him, he won't talk to me, but he keeps sending me stuff. I think he's trying to frame me and get me out of town.
Totally lmao
Lol
Hey that's romantic he is your secret admirer
Same
I have at least 6 hearts and he send me nothing. not even events are being triggered
Girl: likes cookies.
Me: Found them in the trash.
Nairobi
Same
XD
yeah, why in the world would you throw cookies away?
SAME HERE THOOOOOO!!!! I gave some cookies to Alex that I found in his trash can 😂 he was like, ”Thanks!” andni was just dying at his stupidity 😂😂😂
@@memma1101 For me, someone throwing cookies away, that calls for a lynching. 🔱 😈 It's blasphemy!
Cough
*grAnnY*
(DONT rememberers to spell her name)
This game is surprisingly confusing and complex for something seemingly so simple and relaxing
but it really is such an in depth game for honestly a pretty good price
@@Vivian-yo7ge right ??! And if you play with mods you can easily get more 200 hours to play
harvest moon is like the minecraft
and stardew valley is the terraria
For that reason I just can't get into it
@Leonardo Resende You definitely don't need mods to get 200 hours out of it, the vanilla game easily makes for hundreds of hours of enjoyment over time
shane: gives me pizza
me:gives shane back the pizza so that he gets more hearts
One time my husband gave me coffee and then I accidentally gave it back and he was like "thanks I really like this"
@@gwendalynnwatkins1296 Who's your husband I married Alex
@@noladunnaway3126 I went after Sebastian
Gwendalynn Watkins ok had to make sure he wasn’t cheating lmao
@@noladunnaway3126 well I have some bad news for you....
Sam likes Joja Cola. I married him by only giving him joja cola I found in the water
Still a better love story than Twilight. Sorry I had to xD
true
Don't give Pam too much beer or she'll be at max hearts before the first spring is over.
Mii Kay this game any good
you gave your husbando diabeetus. good job
A Small Town ... with only less than 30 peoples, Pickpocket me when i passed out? Damn... I WONDER who did that
Ofu蠟 *linus intensifies*
Joja ninja's.
Town of salem starts
@@sagejohnson717 how dare you, linus is a sweet person
Go ask Linus he is a good guy he sees you sometimes when you pass out he might know that Krobus is stealing yo money
"save your money, you'll need it!" sorry but i need to buy coffee for Harvey so he loves me
Finally, someone else who gets it.
that’s how I was on my iPad with him, and now I’m the same on my pc with shane :)
AND PAM BC SHE ALWAYS SEEMS SO SAD N I WANT HER TO BE HAPPY
You can just turn vegetables into pickles and give them to harvey he loves them and it's free, that's what i did when i was tryna marry him
@@sharkn3rd After seeing the way she treats my lovely penny I no longer like pam, but I treat her nicly because she's penny's mom
Why join joja when you were literally a slave at their company at the start of the game?
You literally left to go to Stardew valley
For the achievement obviously
@Terry 20 I'm pretty sure @powerbrico6000 didn't know that 😅
Exactly
That's why I married Shane so he stopped working there ^-^
@Terry 20 technically not a woooosh
For the fair, get mayor Lewis’s “shorts” and put them on display
His reaction is priceless
Dude I NEED to try that XD!
!!!! Shoot, gotta try this on a different save!
Anddd you get 750 tokens And he tells you to never do that again hahah
You can also put it in the potluck at the Luau for a funny reaction
Can someone please tell me what he says? Thanks.
I didn’t find out until I created a few more files that you could check the community center from your inventory. So much unnecessary walking
same :C
OMG thanks for the tip! That will save me a ton of time.
Omg I didn't know this! Thanks I'll have to check mine.
I literally made a list of every single item I needed subtitled with the room and which bundle, only to find out the exact same thing... urgh that list took me forever to write XD
@@emmanoel4876 List is good
Update it with ways to get certain items so you can devise a plan on how to complete the center
What I did was I just did what I could the first year, then I categorised all the items by season and the way to get them and I could just check my list for things to do in spring for example.
Me: Why am I watching this, I'm not exactly a new player anymore, I'm in year 4, and--
Video: You can complete gathering ore/coal quests by adding them one at a time from your chests.
Me: YOU MEAN I DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND THE WHOLE DAY MINING FOR 35 COPPER ORE WHEN I HAD LIKE FIVE STACKS IN MY CHEST???
I’m on year four too and didn’t know that either.
Sadly, the trick won't do on the android version 😒
IM ON YEAR 6 AND I DIDNT KNOW THAT UNTIL NOW!!! I WOULD BE $1M RICHER BY NOW IF I KNEW THAT!!!
I think dropping them and picking back up works as well, I mean, it's all about expermentation, if you didn't try anything, your fault ;)

>Got dino egg without even trying in year 2
>Have no clue how rare it is
>Donate it to the museum before incubating it
>Regret your choices and cry
I did the same ;o;
i got the dino egg in year 1 and instantly donated it..... that was like two days ago. goddamnit
Happened on my first playthrough too, and I never came across another dino egg. Thankfully now they've added in levels in skull cavern where there's a chance for more to drop. And in my second playthrough I knew to incubate the first dino.
Welp I have no clue what that even is but as someone who just got the game now I know if I ever see it to not donate it xD Thanks for your past mistakes teaching me not to do the same! :D
@@Pantherpick Only two things you really need to know is save the dino egg for when you have a chicken coop, then incubate it. And buy a silo early on, BEFORE you cut all your long grass. Long grass is good, weeds are bad. :P Everything else is learn as you go, those two are the only two things I really regretted not knowing in my first playthrough. I thought long grass was just more weeds so cut it all in my first few weeks then had nothing to feed my animals with except hay, and no hay to make because I had no long grass to cut D:
"1 video I wish I knew about before playing 100 hours into Stardew Valley"
didnt even started the game..im so glad i watched this
"1 video I wish I knew about before playing 125 hours into Stardew Valley"
Really? lol I finished the community center on year 2, and on a new game finished the joga programs on year 1.
Suicidal 30something im 80 h into stardew valley. im in year 4. oh.
I've played for over 130 hours on my save and I'm on year 6.
I DIDN'T EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A BACKPACK UPGRADE. I PLAYED THE WHOLE FIRST YEAR, CLEARING THE MINES OUT WITHOUT IT. WOULD'VE SAVED TONS OF TIME AND MADE ME MONEY
But don't you get mailed an advertisement?
I finished the game not knowing 🤦♀️
@@jenmarie2030 wtf how did you even do that?
That's why you need to read your mail.
oof
I didn’t give anyone a gift until my third year thinking it wasn’t useful to have friends. Welp
Just talking to them also gives friendship points! So if ya have nothing, just talk to them.
@Kierana Grey when you max the hearts to 10 (or 8 for the marriageable ones), it stays that ways forever. No need to maintain except if you marry them. It's pretty handy if you want to complete all the recipes. Some of them even give you valuable stuff like Pam can give you a battery or an energy tonic and Kent gives mega bombs sometimes.
If you talk to someone every day, you get 10 friendship points for that day. If you don’t talk to them that day, you lose 2. I talked to Sebastian and his family every day while gifting him twice a week and Robin got up to 3 full hearts by the time Sebby was at 10. As long as you visit them once a day the friendship goes up and doesn’t decay. Its a little bit of a hassle but if you’re heading up their way, i would just say hi anyway.
lol that is a good excuse somebody could use for not having friends: "yeah I didnt think it was useful to have friends"
Lol I got married year one. She pretty much gives me free food every couple days, so itsworth it .
"squiggly things in the ground"
me immediately after finding this out: *SPRINTS TO BEACH AND SCREAMS* I KNEW IT WAS IMPORTANT
I yell “wERms EVERYTIME I see them I swear it took me till year 2 after I kept hitting them with pickaxes to find out why they existed
I only found out during winter my first year on one game because I looked up how to get a vegetable for a bundle and found they only appear in them.... I've had 10+ games with 200 hours each in the past I just was stupid and joined jojo mart
@@babycakelings jojo mart
@@Cuentaabandonadalol yeah?
@@babycakelings it's nothing i just loved how you typed "jojo" instead of "joja"
The one day I watched my girlfriend played this, she went to the fair to place all her gold star things in the fair and as she clicked it she was like "omg, I literally forgot all my stuff at home."
Tell her to quit to desktop and reload next time. It doesn't save until you go to sleep.
kavika13 Never thought of it, I only started playing the game after watching her that day.
Go check out jaygaymes for some really cool game play/ lets play gaming. Dont look at jaygames look at Jaygaymes.
couldve been worse she couldve placed all her items on the display then leave and forget to take em off
you can take them off ?!
There was another update, there are now negative consequences for dating all of the singles in town (giving them bouquets). There are now cutscenes in which the men gather in the saloon, the women in Emily and Haley’s house, and they all dump/hate you afterwards
Unless you have a rabbit's foot in your inventory
@@sieratheanimatorsfriend3488 yupp
kirstie or kristie?
Witch's hut heheheheheheh.
I was looking for this comment, thank you
One counterpoint: at least one bundle requires gold star crops. Make sure to check before you sell, especially in spring!
yes, the Quality crops bundle requires 3 sets of 5 gold star crops. you can pick 3 from parsnips, melons, corn and pumpkin. so the best thing to do is save up to 5 gold star parsnips first spring, then 5 gold star melons first summer, and also plant some corn in your first summer. if you get 5 gold star corn before you get 5 gold star pumpkins, you're set
That's what I've been doing now, saving the gold star crops for the bundle cause before I kept screwing myself over forgetting and selling them all... -.-
7:26 “Don’t do Joja”
Why does that sound like a drug of some sort? 😂
Honestly, Shane is my favourite character. People don't put in enough time into knowing him. He's so kind after becoming his friend. Same with George
I like Shane, but the developer is adding more content for him, because he only has like two cutscenes... Same with George. The main reason I befriended George was because he liked leeks, which I had tons of. :P
He's going to be a bachelor c:
Don't forget my favorite Emily. Soon be able to marry her.
Yeah George makes a crappy friend. The guy sends you stone in the mail :/
my favorite non dating npc's are shane george and linus i also think emily is funny
What an amazing little Game this is. It helps so much with my depression
your comment hit me hope you are well
This game is letting me leave reality for a few hours a day which helps me so much with my anxiety / anxious thoughts ect
same!! i haven't been so happy and well in years and even my therapist is noticing it, stardew valley is just amazing. everyone should at least try it, it brings me so much joy and i'm sure many people could really profit from playing it
Shiii, Im also in my depressive state rn. Idk why, just popped up all of a sudden, after probably 3 months of being okay and hapoy, and I discovered this game just as my dep got back. And it really helped! Anyway, I hope you're doing well now. Since your comment is 2 years ago
Hope you are doing better :c♡
Now you can also put Lewis’s ‘purple shorts’ on display at the stardew valley fair and get an automatic first place
Edit: forgot that he gets mad at you for it :/
Yeah I did it lol
Yes it’s fun
Lolllll
I wish I known 😭😭
REALLY????
Here's a good tip about silos: You can remove the hay from one by clicking the hay dispenser next to an empty feeding trough. Then put the hay into a chest. Then your silo is empty so you can scythe more hay to refill it. You can hold thousands of hay in one chest, but only a couple hundred in a silo. This way you can gather as much hay as you want, but only ever need to build one silo, and all your animals will be well fed all the time. You can refill the silo from stacks of hay in the chest any time by clicking the hay dispenser again with a stack of hay in your hand.
I can't take hay from the deluxe barn though. Since it has an auto feeder :(
that's exploity... dont give new players advice like that.
@@kalypso4133 Waa? this isnt very exploity at all and is super simple and makes life alot easier, i would argue restarting till you win the spins at the fair is much more exploity...
@@espygaming5101 Waaa? All I said is to not give new players that advise. Same with your thing both are pretty equally exploit-y.
@@kalypso4133 why though? why is it something a new player shouldn't do or know about?
I just started Stardew Valley without knowing anything and already made TONS of mistakes. 1. I didn’t know scythes could cut those squares of grass things that give you fiber. 2. I accidentally sold my starter seeds. 3. I lost my bamboo pole. And probably more. I might just start a new game and take what you said lol.
holy smokes how did you manage to survive this long? lmao i just started playing like a week ago and i'm #addicted
Lol I spent the entire first summer planting turnips and saved up 4,000$ because the old lady told me I needed something for food in winter- then spent it all on a fruit tree. Then it became fall and all my crops died and the fruit tree is still a sapling and only bears fruit next summer. Also I went to the flower festival and nobody wanted to dance with me so I stood in the corner and watched 😭 I'm gonna starve and I'm broke and nobody likes me 😂
Marsco I honestly haven’t played in a bit but I did end up starting a new game. If I didn’t watch this video, I probably would’ve made the same kind of mistake you did lmao
Jajajajjaja I also sold my starter seeds, thought I was the only one
story time: i remember when i first started playing, and this one quest from pierres said it would give me 100g on delivery if i gave someone fish.... so i spent so much time trying to figure out how many fish is 100 grams 😭
For the star drop in the fair I just did the fishing game forever
lmao I just did the same the other day.
Same, fishing is fun for me
Right, the fishing game actually gives you quite a bit of tokens if you do good.
I did the slingshot game loo I hate fishing in Stardew
Another tip:
During the fair in the chance minigame with the two colours, ALWAYS pick green. It almost always wins.
Homie Milk they fixed it ;)
ragadaDeath I just got the game and it’s not fixed
@@Sam-sp3nc weird because I did a 100 spin test and got 83 Orange and 17 green weird
There is a flat 75% chance for green and 25% chance for orange from what I know.
Watch the fortune teller on the morning or eat a meal that will boost your luck. It will probably never be a perfect 50/50 because of the luck mechanic in the game
I learned some tips thanks to my gf, she is a veteran.
Over time my strat for year one was:
Day one invest in your crops, read wich keep giving or need to plant again and how much time they take to grow, my mistake is that i only bought two types instead of all, i put the crops on 3x3 tiles the one in the middle for a sprinkler, also there's a fertilizer that keeps some crops wet to the next day, this saves time and energy. Once you get the quality sprinkler you won't have to worry about watering.
Then i go an entire day on mining and the next day on fishing, once i go back from fishing i'd buy salad to explore the mine, if you have some to spare give some salad to the folks there, most of them like it.
Back at the house i use shift and right click to split the loot i got, keep at least a sample of everything you encounter, this might come in handy (Community Center).
Whelp that's an overall view, i really got hooked into this game, i hope this helps. \[T]/
I would recomend NOT buying the second bag too soon. Invest that 10K in something that will make you more money (better tools or seeds or animals) and just be good with inventory management. Buy the second bag after the end of first fall when you have lots of money so you can use the second bag to mine during winter.
If you play it efficiently you could end spring with both backpack upgrades and at least 10.000 to spare
I’d buy the first bag, fish/crops to earn money and just spend the rest on strawberries and buy the second backpack at the end of spring with strawberry money
I just put chests everywhere
Everyone: Save your money!
Me: *wasting 400g on beer so Shane will marry me*
Edit: Thank you all for the kind tips! I know I can make beer from the keg but still it's nice of you to think of that :)
People with kegs: Just brew them!
Relatable. Buying Sam two pizzas a week be like.
mood!
@@jackking1900 I always buy salad to give to everyone. Why wallet is literally empty
People with keg and cask : Make it and aged it... On his birthday, 3 hearts above it increases...
Another great tip is harvesting and storing all the peppers as well as cheese and making Pepper Poppers. Eating one dish give you about 7-8 minutes of speed (in real time) which mean if you're going mining, you can mine a lot of levels quickly
As far as money making goes, grow Starfruit (bought in the Oasis shop in Calico Desert or you can try and use seed maker on the one you get from the Museum for bringing him stuff) and mass stockpile. Once you can make kegs, start making a lot of them and make Starfruit wine. Sells for around 4 to 5k gold per bottle. Once you unlock the Greenhouse this can guarantee around a million a month leaving you free to befriend everyone, fish, play arcade games in Gus's or whatever.
I spend year one leveling farming to where I can make kegs. Work yourself near to death all day, every day, and you can get Farming to 10 before Winter of first year. Loads of parsnips and cauliflower in Spring, nothing but hops in the Summer, stockpile them until I can make kegs, then make them into pale ale and sell. Fall, I grow wheat and make into beer and sell. Dedicating resources to kegs, I can have 30 by the end of the first year. By winter, you should have Greenhouse and Bus repaired which allows access to the Calico Desert where you can always buy the Starfruit seeds.
I just planted a ton of starfruit...totally going to save the fruit for my kegs now. =) thank you for the advice.
i also have ancient seeds starfruit and hops all year long in my green house after the hops matures they will give you a new harvest every day. if you got enough kegs to keep up with them they also give a nice amount of money
Natasja Kammerman : Ancient fruit is great though 1.1 nerfed it. Honestly, Ape should nerf Starfruit. Nearly 5 grand a bottle of unaged wine is a bit much. Makes money meaningless and almost feels like cheating haha
Well atleast you can buy those shiny new upgrades for your farm with that, including those amazing permanent warp totems. Lucky you! :O
There's better min-maxing methods out there. My recommendation is just play however you want and not rush the clock. Makes it much less enjoyable if you try to rush things on the first playthrough. And you can develop most of your own min-maxing techniques after your own first playthrough.
Everyone: Spin to get 2K tokens
Me: Fishing booth lol
am i the only one?
Me too
Yeah, it was much easier for me than that damn lottery
@@SuperVaclav000 always bet on green 🙂
I'd like your comment, but it's at 69 and I can't ruin it
I do the fishing booth the first few times to get a good chunk, then bet half of it on green (which has a 75% chance). Then another half and another. Quickest way imo.
Shane: an alcoholic
Me: I’ll give you all the beer until you love me
got it last friday i now have more than than 20h on it and it's 2 am on sunday i lost my life to it and made all th wrong choices already welp oups. i guess
No such thing as wrong choices, just learning moments. :p
it does feel like that years pass by quickly so missing out on something can be a new experience for the next year
I got it a week ago. I have 67h.
I installed Stardew Valley about a month ago, and only have about 12-13 hours on one of the save files, because I get bored a bit quickly...
Same bro
Actually it's possible to win the Grange display in the first year, you just gotta plan out your 9 items before fall. Generally you should put in gold quality crops and vary your items like minerals, cooking, etc. The wiki has a list of point values for every item and even has a link for a grange display calculator.
I just started playing recently and won my first fair by having 9 different items all with gold stars
I recently won the event first year (first time playing) because i had a lot of Purple quality fish. Upgrading the rod early is the most remunerative thing i could have done
Bruh i won the grange fair on my first playthrough and i got 97 out of 99
@@manuelredgrave8348 Yeah if you fish pretty regularly in the first year you'll improve your fishing level very quickly. I'm level seven now and it's only fall of the first year.
I actually won 1st place on my first year
And this is my items.(All gold star)
1.Mayo (Chicken)
2.Anchovy
3.Pumpkin
4.Hazelnut
5.Grape
6.Tomato
7.Eggplant
8.Sunflower
P.S-I keep my items from the grange display for next year so i can win again xD
I recently started a new game and by the time the first grange was, I had 7 fish with iridium stars. Added 2 gold star vegetables and won.
@@6Dark6Castle6 Iridium stars? First time I've heard of it wow. But yeah I suck at fishing so I never tried & only focused on crop & gathering.
My first year playing, I put ancient fruit wine and that alone made me win, alongside low quality crops.
@@normalbird1139 yeah I just use iridium quality ancient fruit wine. I use the same 9 bottles every year
me too, this was my items
1. lucky purple shorts
My tips.
Invest time into Stardew Wiki for any question one may have.
Bubbles on the water also indicate higher quality fish, not just a high traffic area.
I got an iridium fish there because there were bubbles right by The Rock™
I passed out on my front porch one time and Harvey charged me 200g for "medical expenses"
As a Dane I was very shocked

4:57 For the Love of the Emperor, THANK YOU! I really didn't know that, you just made the Clint Quests so much easier for me!
I've been playing for over 50 hours and JUST learned about the woods by the tower.
I have played for about 100 hours and found out you only need a steel axe to get there, i went and got a gold one, thinking iron isnt enough
for the fall festival, I display all the high-quality goods (gold start) such as cheese, Mayonaise, fruits, sea urchin, clams (make sure it's all high-quality). Then I got 1st place in my 1st year.
become friends with marnie
get mayors shorts
put shorts on display
easy 750 star tokens
The Ore one with Clint would have been great a few hours ago, tried grabbing the few in my box then mining the rest and when I ran with the stack to him he was like, "Whoa, I hate these" and I got so confused because he wanted them
The thing with Clint's quest is that you only need to talk to him with them in your inventory, don't try giving the ore to him lol. It's weird but that's what I found out!
actually, once you collect enough ores, you don't need them in your inventory at all. When it says to talk to him, you can literally do just that. he... still inspects them anyways... somehow... even though they're in my chests... but, whatever, what works, works!
Same thing happened to me!
Hiroshu i know,what you mean...

Your voice is very relaxing, especially paired with the Stardew Valley music
"enable annotations"
Me in my cellphone: uh ...
I didn't know if that was a game tip or a video setting. Couldn't find it on my phone. But, I think your comment has cleared things up for me. 😁
they were actually removed completely last year 😔
For the fall festival fair it's not hard to get first place. Just save 9 different gold star items along the year (and honestly just in the fall is manageable too) and you'll win the full 1000 points.
The trick of the wheel is that it will never land on orange three times. You can only lose twice at the most. So the first round you bet 160 points on green. If you win do that again. If you lose then bet 320 on green. If you lose again bet 640 on green (because you will win next for sure). Anytime you win just bet 160 on green again. You'll always make points and eventually you'll get the 3400 points to buy everything at the store.
My first playthrough, I too collected 9 gold star items. I won. Except the betting game. It almost cost me a lot of points. Hate that game in the fair. lol
+Aie Quinto Ah well. At least you know the hack now. :)
Orange =/= 3
Does it matter which gold star items? I havent much invested in Farming (more fishing) and started buying chickens (eggs).
You're supposed to use items from different categories and such. It's best to look up a more thorough guide than what can be provided on TH-cam comments.
Just use the golden pumpkin. Automatic win.
"Girls only I need a fire quartz. You know why." Ah...No I do not and I would rather not. Abigail all ready eats the normal ones I would rather not know what you do with the fire ones.
But this stuff is good to know.
Doing a playthrough with a Joja Cola membership. The positive effect is that you can get progress much faster than waiting on a season to catch a fish or find a crop. Fall year one, I have everything unlocked.
"I thought recording footage for this would take max a day or so. I was wrong" STORY OF MY LIFE. Great video by the way. Helped me out a hell of a lot!
This is how i won the stardew valley fair xD
--gold star pumpkin
--gold star pumpkin
--gold star pumpkin
--gold star pumpkin
--normal pumpkin
--gold star pumpkin
--silver star black berry
--silver star sunflower
--gold star mayonnaise
With 91 points in first year anyone can copy if they want xD so easy no struggling
to get gold star is sometimes big hassle, if you leave to your boxes one of everything, all you need to win is pick at least 6 normal items that are worth over 200 gold and rest can be 100 worth items. you get higher score the more random you pick you have there.
iFhone 5 thx you
Here are three of mine(I can't remember all of them)
-golden star ancient fruit
-golden star large egg
-golden star egg
I win it with artisan goods and purple star items :)
Always vote on green on the wheel in the stardew valley fair. Someone really good at math says so.
I'm a pack rat who hoarded my gold star items instead of selling them, so I won the Grange easily in my first year with a score of 96. (My display was even color-coordinated.) You don't have to disregard the "sell all your gold star items" advice to win, though - you just need to save one gold star or high value item of each type (shown in the item's description) over the course of the year until you have all nine (animal, artisan, cooking, fish, flower, forage, fruit, vegetable, mineral) and you'll have everything you need to make Pierre cry. For first years, Autumn's Bounty works for Cooking, and you get 5 as an early quest reward, no kitchen upgrade required. Fertilizer + fairy rose, melon and pumpkin will net you a high value, gold or silver star veggie, fruit and flower, and if you pick up every item you see from day one, odds are your Gathering skill will be high enough to have netted you at least a couple gold or silver star items by Fall - just hold on to the one with the highest sell price. If you're able to get a coop or barn, befriending your animals will get you large and gold star animal products, and IIRC gold star products make gold star artisan goods. If you can't get all nine types or all gold star items, you can still win, either by substituting silver or regular items with a high sell price (diamonds, rainbow shells, etc.) or by filling in the gaps with items purchased from the gypsy (yeah, she overcharges, but if all you need is a duck egg, she's cheaper than buying and upgrading a coop.)
My first play through had so many frick ups but it was so much fun. Example: when the letter telling me about the luau told me to bring something good to add to the potluck, I brought quartz because (at least to me) it was the most valuable thing I had at the time. I was so excited to add my piece, and when I realized the potluck was a soup I got a little suspicious, but it wasn’t like I could leave and get something else. So I walk up, confident and excited to add my quartz to the soup and... it doesn’t let me. I needless to say, the mayor found the soup to be missing something that year.
Some of this changed, the official stardew wiki states that high quality items give more friendship points, and that you get 8x as much friendship points from a gift on someones birthday
You need an iron axe, not copper to enter the secrat forest!
secrat?
+Kevin Charles Pimentel You know. The time traveling rat that guards the secret woods. The Sec-Rat

I mean NOW there's a consequence giving everyone a bouquet
paytonisdying what happens? I haven't played this game for quite a while
Swagwan if you date all the guys they catch you in the bar and basically murder you (okay not really they just dump you). Same thing happens with the girls but in someone's house.
paytonisdying hahaha fair enough, gonna go find a clip of that
If you have a rabbit foot with you when you trigger the cut scene, you can avoid the penalty.
I gave a bouquet to every bachelor and bachelorette but I haven't encountered any cut scene
Winter just in general is a pretty good time to upgrade/mine/explor and all that, since you aren't wasting energy on crops :)
Tip, if you want to upgrade your watering can, but never get rainy days, you can ask robin to make a cabin for you. They are usually used to enable multiplayer, but in the cabin there is a drawer that you can open ( if there isn’t another player on your save file at that time) and there is another set of tools, including a watering can. You can also just set up the save file to immediately have cabins instead of having to pay for them. I generally find this useful for all the other tools too.
"fire quartz... you know what it's for"
"girls only"
uhhhhh...... What exactly are fire quartz used for? lmfao
The same thing seaweed is used for.
Joshua Rutterbush
Making sushi?
Idk wot you're talking about
There's another quest with the exact same text, only in that one she asks for seaweed :D
Maybe... Some kind of... Shoe? Maybe quartz is a bit "vibrative", if you now what i mean
Ausar0 for making red... red thing that the girls usually paint themselves with.
@2:20 Be careful *which* gold star items you sell. If you're rebuilding the community center there are some bundles that ask for gold star items.
this is a very old video, but i'm planning to start stardew valley after i graduate from my bachelor's degree in two months' time. so glad to find this video because it's so helpful! and i love how calming your voice is. adding this into my liked videos so i can go back to it whenever. thank youu.
Thanks, your tricks are really helpful! I've just started playing Stardew Valley on my Switch and now I can't stop 😅
I really can't tell what's better... The game, the tips or her voice and accent. It's like hot chocolate.

Nah, it really isn't.
i guess if you already play harvest moon for years you will be okay .
any harvest moon fan?
Harvest moon 💜
HM FOMT was my first game ^^
Ay yie harvest moon!!
THE FIRST ONE IS STILL THE BEST♥️ in my opinion
I just want a harvest moon series again with stardew mechanics. I really love the art especially the characters. How i wish i can marry karen again in stardew
A crucial tip to place your coop and barn (things with animals) really close to your house, because putting them further away will take MANY minutes of your time every day that you could easely use to do more useful things
(Also, before visiting Robin to construct a farm building, make sure you got did of all the stones and grass-patches in the area, because there's nothing more frustrating than visiting Robin, only to realize that you can't place your construction in the place where you want it
I watched tones of videos before but I liked yours the most. Thank you, it’s really helpful❤
goddamn just got this game on summer sale and found this video.
I didnt even know you can watch tv lol.
The tv is so useful the one channel said a lot of coral going to be washing up on the shore. I ended getting about a thousands coins from going to the beach.
me to
ikr! i packed the ugly big tv thing in a chest because it is so ugly! no idea where im gonna put it now! ugh i hate it.
You can buy a widescreen TV from the carpenter. :)
***** i know, but its even bigger! space issues. had to put the tv in the kitchen.
I actually got first place in the fair in the first year because I'm a total geek when it comes to games like this. I took notice of the quality stars on some of the items, and I had a feeling that they would come in handy at some point, so I stuffed a whole bunch of gold star things in my fridge, including coral, and when the fair day happened, I won first place. Even I was just like "Wow, that actually paid off."
I was unknowingly an overachiever during the Stardew Valley during my first playthrough. I saved the Showcase till the end, but wanted the stardrop for 2k points. So I grinded fishing till I get 2k points. Then somehow won first place later. With a total of 3k I bought the Stardrop, the fedora plus other junks. Best day ever.
This video actually helped me so much I was only 4 minutes in and didn't even know half the stuff you talked about.Great video!!
It's been 60 damn hours! Where was this when I needed it most?! Ahhhhhhhh D':
I learned everything the hard way...
Same
Well, there is a steam achievement where you need to buy the Joja membership but yeah, other than to complete that achievement screw Joja.
+Mini Manta Save, buy membership, celebrate achievement, reload.
+Brian Stamper you have to buy everything, which takes 6 days, so unless you go to the file where your character is saved made a copy of it, bought all the joja upgrades then deleted it and moved your old one back it's not possible
+Brian Stamper (can't do multiple upgrades in one day)
Buy it and restart?
+Ahmet Fatih Usta Just start another save file.
Me, having played 600-ish hours in this game the past few years: ah, yes, I need this five year old tips video for new players-
I know I’m 4 years late but thanks for the great video! I actually watched it a while ago but just rewatching because I’m coming back to the game after a break. Thanks for listing this at the top!
I didn't know you could put ores into your inventory singularly and have it count towards the quests. I always went mining again to get fresh ones! Useful advice there.
Update for tips: #11 now you need a steel axe to break the log...
Tip for tip: #14 eat after you put a bomb down so you don't waste any time and you won't get hurt by your own bomb...
i hope this helps
It did
I thought the log needed a gold axe
Unfortunately, Ape removed the food - bomb exploit
I'm thinking of getting the game for my switch and I like some info and tips before I play games and I came across your video plus comments below and It was very helpful and a good watch. Thank You.
Thank you for making a helpful, and great beginners guide to what's become my favorite game!
"You want hard wood" - Kappa.
In all serious though one of your videos was recommended to me and your voice is soothing :). This game looks really fun like that game Animal Crossing kind of, and I played that for a long time collecting all the junk in it (the original one on Game Cube). So I think I might give this a try now. Thanks for showing it!
+Mmrrggll Gaming Oh man I love Animal Crossing too. :p You'll probably like a game like this too then though! o/
Yep I'm playing it right now, gotta get the hang of it but enjoying it greatly atm.
"For girls only" *Posts it on the town message board for everybody to see.*
Wow thanks! I am new to Stardew Valley. My best friend almost forced me to play it. I absolutely adore it! Your tips were very useful so kudos on you!
Thanks for the tips ! Also, I love your voice, it communicates so much kindness !
had no problem getting the first place at my first year tough even without these tips
+vhirvela Yeah, I got 96 points my first year and came first with stuff that I was already growing/making anyway.
I can't believe that someone else randomly spams their mouse! Welcome to the club!
Hello .... I'm the member of that club!
Tysm! I’m a newbie :3 and was happy to hear that I’m doing most things correctly, and the fall fair was a really nice thing to know thanks!
I'm getting into my 2nd year and this video still really helped me out, thanks for the good vid
just got the game, and the only thting i know is that you mine ores, farm plants, and marry people.
When I started I only knew Divorce ppl
So I lost 10 levels in the mines when I died in level 10 so I had to restart everything ^-^
you can also fish fishes
If you are a bit experienced at fishing, you can also get a lot of tokens from that for just a bit of money.
+Peter Schulze This is how I did it, depending on how long it takes to get a bite I got between 5-7 fish per play and the 6-7 tends to yield like 300+ tokens(If I recall).
It helped I didn't have a problem with the fair showcase either since I have a habit of hoarding at least 1 of every gold item I find, I just mixed a bit of everything and added a diamond and gold bar.
+Peter Schulze i make 2500 per day fishing, i dont understand why some people find this hard
Flavor I remember, in the beginning, it was quite hard. But you get used to it. Now, I even can guess the kind of fish from its behaviour. And at fishing level 10 the bar has about double the length it had at level 1, I guess. Now I use mostly trap bobbers, which makes the fish escape much slower. This all helps a lot. But I can also understand people who are not as patient as me, and install a mod to make fishing easier.
+Peter Schulze
I didn't realize that the showcase of your wares would let you stay at the festival afterwards, so I fished and got all the points to buy every reward BEFORE putting my items in. That sucked lol
LadyPaks
Nice, so you were able to buy some extra stuff.Or does the shop run out of it? I like the token idea, because you are forced to earn your money there.
I just started really getting into this game. I needed this video. Thanks
These tips are all so great! And great reminders too, ive been playing for a year or so and have forgotten about a lot of this stuff 😊
I won 1st place my first year. I had the wiki to help though
I did as well.
But for the most part if you have a Gold Pumpkin, a Gold Cranberry, and a Gold Mayonnaise (from a large egg), and you just put one item each from the other item categories(Fish, Mineral, Forage, Fruit, etc) in there, your going to win.
I got a gold for as many categories as I could, and still won second place. I was bitter, oh so bitter.
I won 1st place too. I had gold quality crops and forage, some mineral, maple syrup, a large egg, and a chocolate cake that i didnt even make lol (it might have been a gift, or a bundle reward? forgot)
The trick is to cover as many categories as possible. The more categories you can fill (animal, artisan, vegetable, fruit etc) the more points you get overall. The good thing is that you keep everything you use, so don't be afraid to go large with your best products since you can still sell them later.
It's not actually about the quality of the product, just the price. Just look through your chests for the most expensive item from each category (pufferfish, wine, pumpkin, cheese, gold bar, solar essence, etc.)
holy shit that's where that forest people keep talking about is? I thought they just meant the wide open space between marnie and the wizard
The secret forest maybe. Wiki it. You need a gold Axe and to chop the stump to the north of wizard
Steel, not gold
Its called the secret forest, it has 6 tree stumps and youll need a steel axe to get there. Slimes spawn there so bring a weapon. It has rare items depending on the seasons growing around. The pond also has a few special fish.
BTW, if you have seen all 10-heart events with either the boys or the girls, there is a scene where they ALL dump you in one spot (unless you have a rabbits foot in your inventory when you walk into haleys/emilys house or the saloon) These events can only happen once per savefile
One extra tip! if you bring a chair to the secret woods and go to the bottom of the log then place a chair on the other side of the log, and flip the chair around a bit you should be able to enter the secret woods without needing the silver axe
Me: Sees Sashimi, "Is that for Sebastian!?!"
Sebastian is my favorite, Sam's a close second.
Starred gifts do give extra friendship points. Silver adds a 10% modifier, Gold 25% and Iridium a massive 50%. So an Iridium star + Loved + Birthday can give a jaw dropping +960 friendship points.
Not at the time of uploading.
And thus I am providing correct information on an outdated video should someone watch it and not know better
Noted, however as other commenters have done it would be better if you added "as of the recent patch" or something to that effect to your comment for clarification.
My statement is 100% correct thanks. Edit your video and correct the misinformation you are sharing though, that would be better.
There is no need to be hostile. I edited my video quite a while ago as you are not the first to post this comment. Other players did add the "changed in 1.1", which made their comments far clearer than yours. I suppose you did not realise because you don't have annotations enabled, like many others unfortunately. "Editing" the video otherwise would require a re-upload.
Like I said, this was uploaded in april and it was not misinformation at that point. It still isn't as I edited it through the only available option.
I knew some of these because PC gamer had an article on this game, but you hit so many points they didn't, and so many points I hadn't thought of. Great video!
Ahhh, memories. This video was the first one I ever saw. It's greay to hear how far they've come and how much they've improved over the years.
Plus, they sound absolutely *adorable*
