dedication Hi there, First of all, I’d very much like to say thank you! Thank you for being a super fantastical viewer, supporter, and fan! This guide and my gaming channels wouldn’t be here without your support, which I greatly appreciate! You deserve a special thanks! As some of you may know, from watching my live streams, I am a Graphic Designer and Gamer. These two professions have come together in more ways than one and they always seem to find a way to rub off on one another. This Stardew Valley Indie Guide is where my love of gaming, meets my love of graphic design and gets mashed together to create this helpful, unofficial guide, filled with all sorts of tips and tricks I have learned while playing, both solo and with you watching. Some of the things in this guide have been inspired by you, my viewers, who have offered your own tips to me while playing live. That being said, I’d like to dedicate this guide to my super fantastical viewers as my way of saying thanks! Enjoy!

RedLace special thanks I’d like to give a special shout-out to those of you who have offered your support! You have been encouraging and kind! Thank you to (in no particular order)...

getting started Congratulations on getting one of the greatest games of 2016! Yes, I said it, one of the greatest games of 2016. And the coolest part about the game, it was developed by ONE man, ConcernedApe. He did everything you see from start to release in about 4 years time and I couldn’t be more impressed. So, a big thank you to him for making this robust, fun, and captivating game that revolves around a simple concept - sprucing up your farm and becoming a valuable & friendly citizen of Stardew Valley. Welcome to the Farm

After quitting your corporate job behind a desk that you were tired of, you find a letter from your Grandpa who has left you his pride and joy, his farm located in Stardew Valley. Your arrival is welcoming and you are greeted by Robin, the local Carpenter, and Mayor Lewis. They show you your new farm, in its current state, which is overgrown and lackluster, to say the least. Your house is small and your farm is a mess but the possibilities are big and you know you can bring the place back to life, and make Grandpa proud of you.

Shipping Container

Before Mayor Lewis leaves, he tells you that if there is anything you don’t want, to place it in the Shipping Container outside by your mailbox and he will pick it up every morning. Before the end of each day, before you go to sleep, you’ll want to place any items you want to

sell inside the Shipping Container. Once you go to sleep for the night, you will see a summary screen which shows what you shipped that day and the total gold you earned. You can also sell some items to merchants in town, but shipping them is by far the easiest method and it accepts most all items.

progress through the game to make them more efficient.

Mailbox

The Weather Channel will tell you tomorrows weather, such as if it is going to be rainy, sunny, or stormy. The Fortune Teller will tell you how the spirit’s feel today. On extra luck days, you can harvest higher quality crops, catch better quality fish, and monsters will drop better loot. Two other channels come on only once per week. The Queen of Sauce will teach you new cooking recipes which you can use once you have a kitchen (your first house upgrade). The other is Livin’ Off The Land, which offers tips and tricks for succeeding in Stardew Valley.

Check the mailbox outside your house each day, if you have a letter, a small envelope icon will float above it. New letters can contain valuable information about events, quests, cooking recipes, and gifts from villagers.

Tools

You start out with the basic tools you need to begin farming. A Pickaxe for breaking stone, an Axe for chopping wood, a hoe/shovel for planting crops and digging in soil, a Scythe for cutting grass, and a watering can for watering your crops. You can upgrade all of these tools at the Blacksmith as you Do you like this guide? Do you find it useful?

Page 13 / 73

Television Channels

Inside your house, you will find a television. You want to watch TV first thing every morning as it offers you valuable information.

Energy Bar

The player has a Energy bar in the bottom right corner of the screen. It starts full at the beginning of the day. Everything you do requires energy, chopping trees, planting crops, fishing, mining, and slaying monsters. At the end of each day, when you go to bed, you will wake up the next day with your energy bar restored. If you go to bed exhausted or go to sleep after 2:00 AM outside your bed, you will wake up with only half of your energy bar restored. You can eat food and take potions to replenish your energy bar. The player starts with 270 energy and if you find the rare Stardrops located in the game, you can increase your energy by 34 points per Stardrop, up to a maximum energy of 508 points.

Health Bar

The player has a health bar in the bottom right corner of the screen, however, it will only appear when in the Mines or when you get hurt by monsters (via the Slime Hutch or the Secret Woods) and it will stay on screen until you go to sleep. A players health is restored after sleeping. You can also restore health by eating food or consuming potions. If the players health reaches zero, they will pass out and be woken up by Linus, Robin, or Harvey and you will have been moved to your bed-

room, the mine entrance, or Harvey’s Clinic depending on the distance the player was from their bed when they fell asleep. If you wake up in Harvey’s Clinic, you are automatically charged 1,000 gold for “surgery”. No matter where you pass out from getting to zero health, you can lose money, a random assortment of items you had in your backpack (including tools), and knowledge of the mines (if inside when you passed out) which may require you to rediscover floors you have already visited. The lesson is, don’t let your health reach zero!

Day Cycle

Each day goes from 6:00 AM, when the player wakes, to 2:00 AM. It is considered “night” after 6:00 PM. The player should always try to go to bed before midnight to ensure a full energy bar the next day, assuming you’re not exhausted. If you don’t make it to bed before 2:00 AM, you will fall asleep where you stand. When a player falls asleep outside of their bed, a JojaMart employee or Harvey will drag the player to bed, typically for a fee. The cost of this service will be mailed to you in a letter which can be found in your mailbox the next morning. Falling asleep on your front porch can cost as much as 1,000 gold. The day cycle is 18 hours or 13.5 minutes real-time and one in-game hour is 45 seconds real-time.

Saving your Game

The game only saves after you go to sleep for the night and accept your inventory breakdown for the day. A message will appear in the bottom left corner saying your game has been saved.

Seasons

There are four different seasons in Stardew Valley, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The player begins the game in Spring. Each season is 28 days long and has its own unique look. For instance, in Spring you will see cherry blossoms floating through the air and in Winter everything is iced over and snowy. Many things in Stardew Valley are season dependent so it is important to pay attention to the calendar (on the outside of Pierre’s Shop). Seeds can only be grown outside during Spring, Summer, and Fall and there are specific crops you can grow during each season. Crops can be grown in Winter, but only inside the Greenhouse. Pierre’s Shop and Joja Mart will sell seeds you can grow during each season. It should also be noted that at the end of each season, all crops will die on the 1st day of the next season (except Corn which can be grown in Summer and Fall). It is important to pay attention to how long a crop takes to grow to ensure you have time to harvest. Fertilizers placed on soil will also expire on the 1st. Due to crops dieing on the 1st, you do not need to water your crops on the 28th day of a season since they will not last the night. Fruit Trees will bloom during their specified season and will produce a fruit every day of the season once fully grown, so you can acquire 28 fruit from one tree in a single season. You need to plan ahead with Fruit Trees, they do take 28 days to grow (a full season) and you must keep the area directly surrounding them clear for them to grow properly. Unlike crops, Fruit Trees will not die between seasons, they simply won’t produce fruit until the following year. There are no limits to the number of years that can be played.


Page 14 / 73

Weather

The current weather has an effect on game play. While it may be windy, or cloudy on some days, the only weather you really need to pay attention to are the ones that may alter your day and those are rain and storms. When it is raining, you don’t need to water your crops. And some villagers will deter from their normal schedules to avoid the rain. There are also some fish you can only catch while it is raining and it is the only time the Old Mariner comes to the Beach. On stormy days, where there is thunder and lighting, you will want to be wary that the lighting can strike and fell trees, destroy crops, destroy pathways, and break fences. What you may not know, is that the day after a storm, you will want to go to the beach and tide pools, as many shells and other valuables have an increased chance to wash up to shore the day after storms.

Planting Crops

To make money to buy things you need, you will need to plant crops. In the early game, this is your primary source of income. You can buy seeds from Pierre’s Shop or JojaMart. Note, JojoMart charges 25% more for seeds until you acquire a Joja Membership (if you choose to do so).

To plant crops, you will need to use your hoe to till the soil. You can then place fertilizer down (if you want) and then plant your seeds. You should water all your newly planted seeds. Then you just need to wait for them to grow and harvest when ready.

Watering Crops

You must water your crops every day for them to grow properly with your watering can, unless it is raining. Your watering can has a limited supply of water, you can refill your watering can at any water source. There is a small pond located in the northeast corner of your farm, and a larger pond located on the south end. You can also build a Well for your farm at Robin’s Carpenter Shop.

Sprinklers

Eventually, the player will be able to craft sprinklers of varying quality. Sprinklers can also be purchased from Krobus and the Traveling Merchant. The sprinklers will automatically water your crops for you each morning. Ideally, you want all your crops on sprinklers so you don’t have to


Page 15 / 73

waste your energy watering every day. You unlock Sprinkler at level 2 farming, this waters the 4 surrounding tiles. At level 6 farming you unlock the Quality Sprinkler, this waters the 8 surrounding tiles. At level 9 farming you unlock the Iridium Sprinkler, this waters the 24 surrounding tiles. Each sprinkler requires materials to craft.

Fencing & Pathways

To keep weeds and animals out of your crops, you will want to place fences around them with a fence gate. You can keep animals inside a pen by enclosing it with fence and a fence gate. Fencing does break down over time and will require replacement. Hardwood fences are the best type of fencing as they take a very long time to break down. Pathways can also be used to deter grass from growing but debris can grow in place of pathways at the beginning of a new season. Lightning can also remove pathways.

Fishing

The player can fish using a rod or by collecting fish from Crab Pots. Fishing requires you cast a line into water and wait for a bite. When you get a bite (a HIT will display on screen), and you want to reel the fish in. A mini-game will begin and the goal is to keep the green bar behind the fish at all times, until the bar on the right side fills up to completely green and you catch the fish. If the bar drains to red and then zero, you lose the fish and don’t catch anything. The green bar will also bounce when hitting the top or bottom. You can move the green bar by clicking and holding the mouse button or X button on your controller (don’t spam the buttons). As your fishing skill increases, the green bar will increase making fishing easier. If a treasure chest appears on your bar while trying to catch a fish, you can switch focus to the treasure chest by moving your green bar behind it, fill its bar till it disappears and then move your green bar back behind your fish to finish catching it. It is best to try to catch treasure chests, when the fish meter is almost full, so the fish doesn’t have time to escape while you are getting the treasure chest. If you successfully catch the fish, you will receive the fish and whatever is inside the treasure chest. If you toss your line into bubbling water pools in the water, the fish will bite more rapidly so keep an eye out for these spots in the water.

Decorating your House Interior

You have the ability to decorate the inside of your house. You can change the wallpaper, the flooring, and the furnishings inside your house. You can also choose where to place windows for natural light during the day. You can buy wallpaper and flooring from Pierre’s Shop for 100 gold each and JojaMart for 250 gold each. The wallpaper and flooring sold at both locations changes daily, they do not stack in your backpack or chests. You can buy furniture and windows for your house from Robin’s Carpenter Shop, occasionally, the Traveling Merchant may also sell furniture. You can also earn furniture from rewards for making donations at the Museum from Gunther at the counter.

Skills

The player levels up skills in five different areas as they progress, Farming, Mining, Foraging, Fishing, and Combat. Increasing skill allows the player to be more efficient with tools and unlocks new crafting recipes. The levels go from 1 to 10 and the player can choose a profession at levels 5 and 10, with two options to choose from. Depending on what you choose at level 5, affects what you have to choose from at level 10. Once you choose a profession, it cannot


Page 16 / 73

be changed so choose wisely to best accomodate your playing style. A temporary buff to specific skills can be acquired by eating specific foods. These temporary buffs will appear as icons next to the players in-game clock. Farming Each level grants +1 efficiency to the hoe and watering can. Levels are gained by harvesting crops. Mining Each level grants +1 pickaxe proficiency. Levels are gained by breaking stone and ore with your Pickaxe. Foraging Each level grants +1 axe proficiency. Levels are gained by gathered foragables and gathering wood from fallen trees. Stumps, saplings, and timber fell by lightning do not count towards your skill level. Fishing Each level grants +1 fishing rod proficiency. Levels are gained by fishing using a fishing rod and harvesting items from Crab Pots. Combat Each level grants +5 health points. Levels are gained by fighting monsters.

growing crops In Stardew Valley, growing crops will be on the things you need to do in order to succeed and progress in the game. Not only is it a great source of money, it will also provide you with cooking ingredients for recipes, gifts for villagers, Community Center bundle items, and quest items. Crops are seasonal and can only be grown outdoors in Spring, Summer, and Fall. If you have the Greenhouse, you can grow crops inside the Greenhouse without the season restrictions and grow crops during Winter. It is important to remember, at the end of a season, crops will die on the first day of the new season. Pay attention to grow times and season restrictions. If you are making your own seeds, instead of buying them, plan ahead and have your seeds ready to plant on the 1st day of the new season.

general tips Grow Times

The day you plant your seeds does not count towards the grow time. Each crop has its own grow time which is listed on the seed packet. Pay attention to these times and make sure to get them planted with enough time to harvest.

Scarecrows

If there is not a Scarecrow in the vicinity of your crops, a crow can eat your crops (which removes them). Scarecrows will protect an 8x8 area of space vertically and horizontally and a 6x6 area of space diagonally from its location. This area is a total protected circular space of 249 spaces surrounding the Scarecrow. Rarecrows protect the same area as regular Scarecrows and are purely cosmetic. There are 8 Rarecrows that can be collected in Stardew Valley. Scarecrows can be crafted after achieving Farming Level 1 and require 50 Wood, 1 Coal, and 20 Fiber to craft.

Trellis Crops

Some crops grow on a trellis, such as Green Beans, Grapes, and Hops. Once planted, these crops cannot be walked through. It is important to keep this in mind when planting so you can access all the crops when they are ready to harvest. I like to plant mine on the edge of a garden plot, in a single row so I can walk on all sides of the crop, but double rows could work also. You need access to at least one side to harvest.

Giant Crops

There is a chance of Cauliflower, Melon and Pumpkin growing a giant crop when planted in a 3x3 pattern. A Giant crop is a single plant that yields twice the amount of items and takes up 9 squares. Giant crops must be harvested with an Axe. They will not die at the end of a season or in winter.

fruit trees Fruit trees take 28 days to mature so it is best to plant them before the season they bloom. Fruit trees will produce 1 fruit each day it is in season after becoming fully grown and will accumulate up to 3 fruit between harvests. They do not require water or tilled soil and will not die in Winter. To plant and grow, they require a clear 3x3 space. Can also be grown inside the Greenhouse which will produce fruit year-round, no matter the season. As they age, higher quality fruit can be harvested, up to gold quality (as of update 1.07). The potential profit of fruit trees are quite high. While the individual fruit is not worth much and you will take a loss the first season selling fruit individually, making Jam (in Preserves Jar) or Fruit Juice (in Kegs) can make these little fruits worth a whole lot more. Fruit trees can be a worthwhile investment if crafted into Artisan Goods. Fruit Tree Saplings are sold year-round at Pierre’s Shop, but may also be purchased occasionally at the Traveling Merchant, sometimes at a reduced price, sometimes at an inflated price.

Obtaining & Planting Ancient Fruit Seeds

Ancient Fruit seeds can be acquired five different ways; 1. Purchased from the Traveling Merchant for 400 - 700 gold. Rarely stocked. 2. By donating an Ancient Seed artifact to Gunther at the Museum, you will be rewarded with 1 seed pack and the crafting recipe for Ancient Seeds. The Ancient Seed Artifact can be found by digging worms in the Forest or Mountains, or by fishing in a treasure chest. 3. Crafting (see line 2). 4. Placing Ancient Fruit into the Seed Maker, yields 1 - 3 seeds. 5. Placing any crop into the Seed Maker, 0.5% chance of yielding an Ancient Seed. Ancient Fruit Seeds can be planted in Spring, Summer, or Fall. Due to their long grow time of 28 days, it is best to plant them on the 1st day of Spring, or use some sort of Speed-Gro Fertilizer before planting, or plant them in the Greenhouse to prevent them from dying at the end of Fall. They can be grown and harvested year-round inside the Greenhouse. Ancient Fruit can be very profitable, especially if turned into Artisan Goods, such as Ancient Fruit Wine (using a Keg) or Ancient Fruit Jelly (using a Preserves Jar).

Obtaining & Planting Rare Seeds

Rare seeds can be purchased from the Traveling Merchant. She almost always has at least one for sale. Rare Seeds can be planted in Fall. Due to their long grow time of 28 days, it is best to plant them on the 1st day of Fall, or use some sort of Speed-Gro Fertilizer before planting, or plant them in the Greenhouse to prevent them from dying at the end of Fall. They can be grown and harvested year-round inside the Greenhouse.

Mixed Seeds

A special seed that can be planted during any season, except Winter, to produce a random crop from that season. Can be obtained from cutting grass with a Scythe, digging up worms with a Hoe, or by placing any crop inside the Seed Maker (2% chance of Mixed Seeds).

Wild Seeds

Wild Seeds come in four varieties Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. They can be crafted out of foragables, once you reach the appropriate level (Spring level 1, Summer level 4, Fall level 6, Winter level 7). When crafted they produce 10 seed packets. When planted, they produce random variety of that seasons foragables. Takes 7 days to grow. Wild Seeds Winter are the only crop that can be grown outdoors in Winter. Do you like this guide?

cOMMUNITY CENTER After the 5th of Spring forward, if you go to Pelican Town between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm you will trigger a cut scene with Mayor Lewis. Lewis will lead you to the Community Center. He will talk to you about the history of the Community Center and how he just can’t bare the thought of selling it to Joja Corporation who has shown interest in it. When he unlocks the door and you follow him inside, you will witness you first encounter with the Junimos. Mayor Lewis won’t see the Junimo however, and will think you are seeing rats and asks if you have time to take care of them. After the cut scene ends, head back inside. Go to the left and into the first room on the bottom, this is the Crafts Room. You’ll find a glowing scroll covered in strange writing on the floor that you are unable to read. Attempt to read the scroll and leave. The next day you will receive a letter from the Wizard, who would like to invite you to his tower. He may have a solution for your “rat” problem. The Wizard Tower is located on the far west side of Cindersap Forest. Until now, it was locked. Once inside, the Wizard will talk to you about the “rat” problem and show you that he knows about the Junimos and summons one to show you. Then, he will mysteriously vanish to investigate the problem himself. When he returns, he makes a potion that you will drink. You can now read the mysterious Junimo scrolls. Return to the Community Center and start completing the bundles for each room to start earning rewards. You are rewarded for each bundle completed and each room completed.

Did you know there are two special foragable items that are found by shaking bushes to get 1 - 5 items at once? If you pay attention to these special seasons, you can acquire 200+ of these items in a couple days (in game time) which can make you money fast or be used as food (good for early game). Salmonberry Season is during the 15th - 18th of Spring and they sell for 5 - 7 gold each. They are generally disliked by villagers so don’t gift them. Blackberry Season is during the 8th - 12th of Fall and they sell for 20 - 30 gold each. They can also be crafted into Blackberry Cobbler. They are generally liked by villagers so they make good gifts.

Visit the Quarry regularly, new rocks, logs, ore and worms in the dirt will appear each day. The Quarry is a great place to find rare ores and geode’s, especially if you have not ventured very deep into the mines. Keep the rocks and other debris at bay, remove them often to make room for rare ores to appear. Once you repair the minecarts, you can also fast travel to the Quarry. The Quarry is the best place to find the rare Prismatic Shard, which is sometimes inside the Iridium Ore deposits.

Tips about the Greenhouse

The Greenhouse is a 12 x 10 garden space with a water source to refill your watering can. You can plant crops in the Greenhouse all-year round and crops don’t die between seasons. You can also plant seeds inside the Greenhouse when they are not currently in season. It is also wise to use the interior space to grow crops with slow grow times, such as Rare Seeds and Ancient Fruit, since they won’t die between seasons. You can also grow fruit trees inside and they will bear fruit year round once fully grown. They are also safe from lightning storms. You can place sprinklers on the wooden borders.

*To complete this bundle, it only requires you turn in 6 of the 12 items. It does not matter which 6 you choose to turn in. Do you like this guide? Do you find it useful? Show you support by making a donation to the author, RedLace Click Here to Donate or www.RedLaceGaming.com

The Copper Pan does not have any upgrades. When you find sparkling or gold glittering spots in water, use your Copper Pan on the spot to gather miscellaneous ore. These spots to pan for ore are few and far between and can be found in Rivers and the Mountain Lake. If you need ore, don’t rely on the Copper Pan, instead go to the Mines.

Tips about Mine Carts

You can travel by Mine Cart to the following locations; • Bus Stop • Town • The Mines • Quarry You can use the Mine Carts to access the Quarry before you repair the bridge (by completing the Crafts Room in the Community Center,). The Mine Cart at the Bus Stop is the closest location to your farm that you can fast travel, keep that in mind if it is getting late and you need to get home in a hurry.

Tourist “Quick” Guide to Calico Desert

Did you know Calico Desert is home to some unique areas in the game, only accessible aftering repairing the bus or after completing quests? Fish for Sandfish The only area in the game where you can catch Sandfish is in the pond in Calico Desert in the Northwest corner of the map.

When you have finished all the bundles in the Vault, the Junimo’s will appear. Then you will receive a gold star on the Community Center mantle. Head home and go to sleep for the night and a cut scene will trigger, showing the Junimo’s dancing by the Bus. The next day, go over to the Bus Stop and you will see the bus is repaired and you can now buy a bus ticket to travel to Calico Desert.

Shop at Oasis The Oasis Shop run by Sandy sells a variety of useful items including seeds and a rotating fourth item.

The Casino The Oasis has a bouncer blocking a door. Complete the Mysterious Qi quest line to gain access to the Casino. You can start the quest by walking left of the bus stop and into the dark tunnel, bring a battery pack for the wall panel. Skull Cavern More challenging mines await in Skull Cavern, they are randomly generated with no elevators. Can you get to the bottom? You will need the Skull Key, which you can get from a chest on level 120 of the Mines in the Mountains. Foragables Unique items can be acquired by foraging the desert, including Coconut and Cactus Fruit. You can also sometimes buy these desert items from the Traveling merchant but they are free here, so stock up!

Tips about the Bus Stop

You can buy a ticket to Calico Desert at the Bus Stop for 500 gold at the ticket station to the left of the bus. You will need to buy a ticket every time you want to go to Calico Desert, the ticket is two-way. Buying a ticket initiates a cut scene and the player will travel to Calico Desert. You can only buy a ticket when the Bus Driver, Pam, is present. Pam is at the bus stop most days, from 10:10 AM - 5:00 PM. She may not be there when there are events in Pelican Town during the day. You can return from Calico Desert any time before 2:00 AM by Bus. If you leave your horse at the bus stop when you go to Calico Desert, he will wait patiently for your return.

the future of jojamart JojaMart is overwhelmingly seen as the evil corporate giant that has pushed its way into peaceful Stardew Valley. Shane works at JojaMart as the stock boy and hates his job, which is probably why he spends his evenings in the Stardrop Saloon and is generally rude to the player. Pam can be seen shopping in JojaMart almost daily, she likes the cheap prices (although, their prices aren’t always cheaper). Sam also works at JojaMart but only part-time on Mondays and Wednesdays. You can shop at JojaMart, they sell similar items to Pierre’s. You can find a note in Pierre’s room from Morris, the JojaMart Customer Satisfaction Representative sarcastically appologizing for moving in on Pierre’s business and offering him a job at JojaMart for next to nothing. You can decide the future of JojaMart, if you choose to find all the items for the bundles in the Community Center and repair it to its original condition, JojaMart will close. Or, you can buy a Joja Mart membership and their foothold into Stardew Valley will strengthen. JojaMart Closes

If you choose to complete all the bundles in the Community Center by turning in items, you will be working towards building the community for Mayor Lewis. Once you finish all the bundles in the Community Center, the Junimo’s will disappear and the Community Center will be restored to its original condtion. Some villagers will start to frequent the Community Center again, Evelyn can often be found in the Crafts Room and Mayor Lewis sometimes will visit the Vault, which appears to be his new office. Pierre’s Shop will now be open 7 days per week and Joja Mart will close. Congratulations, you have squashed the corporate bug who infested Stardew Valley!

JojaMart Expands

Morris will reach out to you and offer to let you buy a Joja Mart membership for 5,000 gold. Mayor Lewis has said that if one more person in Stardew Valley buys a JojaMart membership he will have to sell the Community Center. If you buy the JojaMart membership from Morris (you can do so at any time from inside JojaMart), JojaMart will expand its business and the Community Center will turn into the JojaMart Warehouse. The player can still complete the bundles in the Warehouse to get the rewards, however, all bundles now come at a cash price of 15k - 45k instead of in exchange for items. It should be noted, this play-style relies heavily on cash crops and is much more difficult to progress.


Page 42 / 73

friendship Stardew Valley has many unique villagers that you will meet and interact with regularly. It is important to build your friendship rating with the villagers, as it will allow you to start receiving gifts from them, they will also share their favorite cooking recipes, and offer additional story dialog. Achieve super best friend status of 10 hearts with a single villager (of any sex) and you could even get married and have children. It’s all about the Hearts - Make Friends

Building your friendship with villagers is based on your heart rating, you can achieve up to 10 hearts with a villager and 13 hearts with a spouse. Each heart represents 250 points. If you go into your social (heart) menu, you will see all of the villagers and your current heart rating. To the right of the hearts shows the gift status with that villager for the week. You can give each villager two gifts per week and only one a day. Once you give a gift, a green checkbox will appear to the right of the giftbox.

Give Gifts

Be sure to give gifts early and often. I like to carry around a stack of blueberries and give them to anyone I see. Mostly because they are generally liked by most villagers and they are plentiful. Be mindful of villagers reactions to gifts though, each villager has unique likes and dislikes. And it is best to give them something they love (worth 80 points) or like (worth 45 points). If they really love something, a little heart will appear above their head when they receive the gift and they will tell you how much they like it. This is fantastical good and will boost your heart rating much more quickly.

Complete Quests for Villagers

Villagers will post quests to the bounty board located in front of Pierre’s Shop in the center of town. If the quest indicates that completion will make a villager happy, you will receive 150 friendship point immediately upon completion. Be careful of time, as many of these quests only are available for 2 days after you accept them.

Be Conversational

Engage in conversation with villagers, sometimes they will offer valuable information as to what they or their friends like/dislike. Speaking with a villager offers 20 points, ignoring a villager for 2 days takes away 2 points. Occassionally, after reaching certain heart ratings with villagers you will have cutscenes with them, sometimes they ask your opinion and that opinion can affect how they think about you. Your heart rating can go up and down, so keep that in mind when answering their questions. Note, once you max out hearts with a Villager, it will not decay (as of update 1.07).


fantastical tip The 2 Heart Minimum

Most villagers will not let you into their bedrooms unless you have a minimum of 2 hearts with them. Try to get to at least 2 hearts with all villagers so you can access their rooms, you may need inside for quests or to give them their birthday gifts (it’s a bummer to have to wait all day outside someones door just to give them their gift). I’m talking to you Sebby!

Page 43 / 73

Remember Birthdays

Every villager in Stardew Valley has a birthday. You can check the calendar on the front of Pierre’s shop to see whose birthday might be coming up or you can purchase a calendar from Robin’s Carpenter Shop and put one in your house (which I recommend doing). You want to give villagers a birthday gift on their birthday, it goes a long way in boosting your heart rating. If you give them something they love on their birthday, you will receive 640 points (that is 8x the value of a loved gift on a normal day) which could gain you as many as two full hearts with one gift. Liked birthday gifts will give you 360 points. Birthday gifts do not count towards the weekly gift giving limit.

universal loves

universal hates

These are two items that are universally loved by villagers (worth 80 points) with two exceptions. Penny hates Rabbit’s Foot and Haley hates Prismatic Shards.

Bait, Sap, Bug Meat, Trash items, Rotten items, and Rusty items are universally hated by villagers with no exceptions. Be careful with these, they can reduce your heart rating.

Rabbit’s Foot

Bait

universal likes

universal dislikes

These are many items that are universally liked by villagers (worth 45 points) with a few exceptions. Personally, I have found blueberries, blackberries, and coffee are generally well received with a couple exceptions. Jas and Vincent hate coffee and dislike blueberries and blackberries (along with Sebastian and Abigail who aren’t berry lovers).

Generally, all villagers dislike fish, crafting & building items, minerals (not to be confused with gems), fertilizer, tackle, furniture, monster loot (the Wizard is an exception, he loves solar essence and void essence), and seeds. Personally, I have found salmonberries are not generally well received with a few exceptions, Jodi, Linus, Shane, Pam, Leah, Demetrius, and Robin seem to like them.

villagers Stardew Valley has 33 unique villagers, each with their own personality, likes, dislikes, and routines. You can also give gifts to all the villagers. There are 10 single villagers, 5 bachelors and 5 bachelorettes, who are available to date and marry. It can get lonely on your farm spending all your time with your cat Cheeto.

He lives with his grandparents, Evelyn and George, just to the East of Pierre’s Shop, and has a dog who is kept outside in the dog house. Loves

Sebastian (“Sebby”)

A rebelious, young guy who likes to spend the majority of his time in his parents basement, tinkering on his computer or hanging out with Sam. He also loves sci-fi novels and comic books. He appears to be jealous of his half-sister, Maru, who he thinks gets all of the attention. He takes a bit to warm up to and can seem unfriendly to people he doesn’t know. It is important you get him to 2 hearts as soon as possible, since he spends most his time in his room. He lives in the Mountains with his Mom Robin, his Step-Dad Demetrius, and his half-sister Maru. His Mom calls him Sebby. Loves

She lives in a small cottage, just south of Marnie’s Ranch which is locked until the player reaches 2 hearts with her. She often doesn’t leave her cottage till 10:00 AM. Loves

fantastical tip Your Spouse has their own “Style”

Once you marry, your spouse will move into your house with you. Next to each bachelor or bachelorette, you can see their “marriage room”, which is the room that will be added on to your house. Choose your spouse wisely if decor is important to you. You cannot change your spouses rooms flooring or wallpaper. You cannot move the objects in their room but you can add your own objects. Avoid the unpleasant surprise of clash of decor when they move in with you - like I did with Alex and his neon green carpet. I tried to cover it up, I added the blue rug, table in the bottom right, the boat, the lamp, the plants and the chests. Now for that wallpaper...

non-marriage villagers These are the non-marriage and giftable villagers of Stardew Valley. As you become better friends with the villagers, they will allow you access to their rooms (after 2 hearts), send you favorite cooking recipes in the mail along with the occasional gift, and some also have their own cut-scenes to further their back story. You can get each non-single villager up to 10 hearts. Non-marriage villagers are ordered by birthday.

fantastical tip How to Speak with the Dwarf

To access the Dwarf you need to break the stone blocking the path inside the mines, directly to your right, using a Steel Axe or a Cherry Bomb. You can only communicate with the Dwarf once you find all 4 Dwarf Scrolls (one of each color) and donate them to Gunther at the Museum.

grandpa The player received their farm in Stardew Valley thanks to their Grandpa, who they receive a note from in the beginning of the game. That is not the last you will see of Grandpa though. Grandpa’s Shrine is located in the northwest corner of your farm, when it is interacted with, it says ‘Grandpa’s Shrine’. You will find a note on the shrine that says Grandpa will return at the start of Year 3 to evaluate your success.

grandpa's evaluation The evaulation Grandpa gives you is directly related to the number of candles lit around Grandpa’s Shrine at the beginning of Year 3 (Spring, Day 1). The number of candles lit is based on a point system, and points are earned during the first two years by reaching specific milestones. Milestones are worth points and there are a total of 21 points possible. If you do not get all four candles lit right away, don’t be discouraged. You can have Grandpa re-evaluate you at any time by placing a Diamond in his Shrine. Grandpa will then appear the following day, when the game loads, or in some cases, the first day of the next season.

scoring

statue of perfection After you evaluation from Grandpa, if you receive a total of 12 or more points, you will be awarded with the Statue of Perfection. There is no indication that it is available to you, after Grandpa “visits”, you will want to go to Grandpa’s Shrine. If all 4 candles are lit, it means you earned more than 12 points and you can now interact with the Shrine to receive the Statue.

how to get married The player can marry any of the Bachelor’s or Bachelorette’s regardless of their characters gender. In order to marry, you need to meet a few requirements and complete a few tasks. Spouses will offer assistance on the farm, such as repairing fences, feeding animals, watering crops, or filling your pets water bowl. They may also make you breakfast, providing you with an Omelet, Hashbrowns, Pancakes, etc. If they are happy enough, you may also be able to start a family by having kids - or by adoption if in a same-sex marriage. Watch my video ‘How to get Married’.

step one, declare your intentions Once you have achieved 8 hearts with a bachelor or bachelorette (single villager), Pierre will send you a letter in the mail. The letter indicates that Pierre is now selling special Bouquets at his shop. To declare you intention to marry, gift the bouquet to the single villager of your choice. It is impossible to get a single villager past 8 hearts unless you give them the bouquet. It is possible to gift all the single villagers bouquets in order to get them all to 10 hearts before proceeding to the next step of marriage, which would allow you to see all possible 10 heart cut scenes. Once you are married, gifting a bouquet to a villager besides your spouse, will have negative effects on your heart rating with your spouse.

step two, get engaged

step three, get married

Once you have given a Bouquet to your special someone, you will need to purchase a Mermaid’s Pendant. You can buy a Mermaid’s Pendant from the Old Mariner on the northeast end of the Beach, above the tide pools across the small wooden bridge. The Old Mariner will only appear on rainy days during Spring, Summer, and Fall. He will not appear in Winter. You can buy the pendant from him for 5,000 gold once you have 10 hearts with a single villager and have upgraded your house at least once.

After you have got engaged, your wedding will take place 3 days later, firstthing in the morning after you wake.

Once you have acquired the Mermaid Pendant, gift it to your special someone.


After the wedding ceremony, the player and their Spouse will appear on their front porch at 6:00 AM. If you go inside your house, you will see their “marriage room” has been added on to your house and is themed based on their likes.

Page 54 / 73

marriage & kids Once your Spouse has moved into your house, you will now be able to get them to 12 hearts instead of 10. Keeping them happy and increasing your friendship rating will result in them helping out around the farm and cooking meals. If your spouse becomes unhappy at any time, they may stop helping out and complain. You need to continue giving your spouse gifts, even after marriage, if you want to keep them happy. Interacting with your spouse when no more dialog is available, will result in a loving embrace - a little heart will appear over your heads.

gifts & Jealousy

having children

Gifting other single villagers after marriage may result in your spouse questioning it and becoming jealous, which can have a negative effect on your friendship rating. Gifting another single villager with a Bouquet, can result in a loss of up to 2 hearts with your spouse.

In order to have kids, you need to have fully upgraded your house so you have the Nursery upstairs. If you are in a same-sex marriage, you will be able to adopt. You can have up to two kids, of each gender.

You can increase your heart rating with your spouse through gifts, as usual. However, you are no longer restricted to two gifts per week with your spouse, but you can only gift them once per day.

spouse chores If your spouse is kept happy, they will help out around the farm by doing chores. They may repair all of the broken fences, water crops during Spring, Summer, and Fall, feed the animals, and fill your pets water bowl. The may also cook you breakfast or dinner, if you have an empty inventory slot. You can receive a random breakfast item such as an Omelet, Hashbrowns, or Pancakes. For dinner, you could receive a random dinner item such as Spaghetti, Parsnip Soup, or Fried Eel. Spouses will leave the farm on Mondays, unless it is raining. Sebastian, Sam, and Abigail will leave on Friday nights to go to the Stardrop Saloon.

stardrop, best gift ever! At 13 out of 12 hearts, which won’t show up in your heart rating but it is possible, your spouse may reward you with a Stardrop as a token of their love.

Your chance of your spouse asking if you want to have kids increases if you go to bed before them. You will also need at least 10 hearts with them, and have been married for at least 7 days, this gives you a 5% chance. The baby will appear in the crib 14 days after your spouse asks if you want to have kids. Adoption works very similarly. You wait 14 days, during which your spouse will mention they filed the adoption paperwork. Your child will appear in the middle of the night with a note saying the adoption agency dropped them off. Warning, completing a Community Center or JojaMart bundle the night before the baby is due, can cause the baby to not arrive. For the first 14 days after your child is born, they will remain sleeping in the crib. After this, they will stand in the crib and you can interact with them for the next 14 days. Next, your baby will crawl around the house and play with toys during the day for 14 days. Finally, the baby will become a toddler (the current, final stage of kids) and begin sleeping in one of the beds in the nursery. This will free up the crib for a second child which can now be born. You can only have two kids. You can get 10 hearts with your children.

seasonal festivals There are two festivals each season and Mayor Lewis will send you a letter to remind you of the upcoming event. His letters will detail what time they start, end, and where to go to attend. He will also tell you if you need to bring anything for the festival. On the day of the festival, a pop-up will appear in your bottom left corner of your screen, saying the festival has begun. You will need to remember when the festival ends, so you can be sure to arrive before then if you want to attend. When you are at a festival, time does not appear to be a factor. You can stay as long as you’d like so feel free to explore, but you typically return home to your farm well into the evening, usually around 10:00 PM, no matter the time the festival was scheduled to “end”. Festivals are a great chance to talk to ALL the villagers, as they always attend. This can help boost your friendship rating simply by chatting with everyone while you are at the festival. Some festivals have events you can participate in, others may require you bring something, and some have shops you can buy special items from, including Rarecrows, so be sure to bring some gold! It should also be noted that on festival days, you are not able to enter the area the festival will be held until it starts. Some villagers will also differ from their regular schedules on these days, for instance, Robin the Carpenter will not work on your farm buildings on festival days. Plan accordingly!

spring The Egg Festival Spring, Day 13 | Pelican Town You can enter the festival in Pelican Town between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. When you decide to leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM. Some of the Villagers and the player will participate in the Annual Egg Hunt. Talk to Mayor Lewis to start the event. In order to win, the player must find 9 colored eggs hidden in town and you will be rewarded with the Straw Hat. If you have already won during a previous year, you will receive 1,000 gold instead. If the player fails to find 9 eggs, Abigail will win. Pierre will have a shop set-up during The Egg Festival. He sells Strawberry Seeds and a Plush Bunny (decorative). This is the only time you can buy Strawberry Seeds. Flower Dance Spring, Day 24 | Southwest of Cindersap Forest You can enter the festival by going to Cindersap Forest and crossing the small wooden bridge south of the Wizard’s Tower between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. When you decide to leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM. During the festival, you can participate in the Flower Dance. You will need a partner, and you can ask any of the Bachelors or Bachelorettes to dance. They will decline unless you have a minimum of 4 hearts with them. Count on watching during year 1. Talk to Mayor Lewis to being the dance. Pierre will have a shop set-up during the Flower Dance. He sells Dandelion, Daffodil, Tub o’ Flowers, Tub o’ Flowers crafting recipe, and Rarecrow #5 (my personal favorite).


Page 56 / 73

summer Luau Summer, Day 11 | The Beach You can enter the festival on the Beach between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. When you decide to leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM. The Governor is attending the event and Mayor Lewis will ask you to bring an ingredient to put into the Soup. Once you place your ingredient into the soup cauldron, talk to Mayor Lewis. Depending on what you put in the Soup, the Governor will have different reactions. There is no “winning” here, as it is all just for fun, therefore no wrong choice. I have had positive reactions with putting in a gold Truffle. Not all items can be added to the soup. There is no shop set-up during the Luau. Dance of the Moonlight Jellies Summer, Day 28 | The Beach You can enter the festival by going to the Beach between 10:00 PM - 11:50 PM.

fall Stardew Valley Fair Fall, Day 16 | Pelican Town You can enter the festival in Pelican Town between 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. When you decide to leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM.

You can play a variety of mini-games to earn Star Tokens. Star Tokens can be redeemed at the booth at the entrance of the festival in exchange for prizes. You can exchange your tokens for Dried Sunflowers (decorative), Fedora (hat), Rarecrow #1, and a Stardrop. The festival also features the Grange Display contest. Mayor Lewis has asked you bring 9 items to the Fair to be judged. In order to win, you need 90 points and if you win, you will receive 1,000 Star Tokens. You get 14 points automatically and each unique item add 5 points (i.e. Vegetable, Fish, Fruit, Artisan Goods, etc.). You also want to bring gold quality items, each gold quality item will add 3 points. Silver is 2 points, regular is 1 point. If you bring a variety of gold quality items with a minimum sell value of 400 gold, you can receive the max number of points per item, which is 8 points. Here is a sample of items you could bring to win 1st prize (all items are gold quality); Dorado, Mayonnaise, Truffle, Pumpkin, Ancient Fruit, Blue Jazz, Rainbow Shell, Leek, and a Star Fruit. You will be competing against Marnie, Pierre, and Willy. Watch my video ‘Grange Display, How to Win 1st Prize’. There are six mini-games you can choose to play to earn Star Tokens. Most cost gold to participate, although the Smashing Stone is free to play. Booths include the Fishing MiniGame, Slingshot Mini-Game, Smashing Stone, Token Seller, Clairvoyant Booth, and the Spinning Wheel.

The player can journey into the Haunted Maze during the festival north of Pierre’s Shop. If you can find your way through the maze to the secret chest, you will be rewarded with a Golden Pumpkin. While it is not used for anything, it is valuable and can be sold for 2,500 gold. Watch my video ‘How to open the Chest in the Haunted Maze’. Pierre will have a shop set-up during Spirit’s Eve. He sells Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern crafting recipe, and Rarecrow #2.

Feast of the Winter Star Winter, Day 25 | Pelican Town You can enter the festival in Pelican Town between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. When you decide to leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM. The Feast of the Winter Star is an event similar to a Secret Santa gift exchange. You are assigned a person to give a gift to, Mayor Lewis will send a letter to your mailbox telling you who your assigned person is on Day 18, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare a gift for them. Likewise, someone will be assigned you. Be sure to bring your gift to the event, locate the person you were assigned to and give them their gift. After you give your gift, a cutscene will start and the villager who was assigned you, will arrive with a package. You will open your gift and receive an item, or multiples of that item. The gift you receive it based on that Villagers loves, for instance, Marnie will give you a dozen Eggs while Vincent will give you Pink Cake. If you talk to Willy while at the event, he will tell you a story of a mysterious Stardrop. Requirements for this Stardrop, or if it even exists, are still unknown. You can also talk to Gus and he will tell you a long winded story about how he hand crafts candy canes. You can talk to all the Villagers at the festival, but Willy and Gus are the stand-outs. There is no shop set-up during the Feast of the Winter Star.

Tool upgrades The player begins with a set of basic tools. A Pickaxe, Axe, Hoe, Scythe, and Watering Can. All but the Scythe can be upgraded by Clint, the Blacksmith, for a fee and metal bars. Upgrading tools takes 2 days, so plan accordingly. For instance, if it is supposed to rain tomorrow, water all your crops today and then go upgrade your watering can. It will be ready the day after it rains, when you will need it again. While upgrading a tool you cannot shop with Clint or ask him to break open Geodes.

pickaxe The pickaxe is used to mine stone. You will notice that as you upgrade your pickaxe you will become more efficient at breaking stones and can start to break larger stones as well. At steel, small rocks only will take a maximum of 2 hits to break. At gold, small rocks break in a single hit.

axe The axe is used to chop down trees for wood and sap. It is also used to chop large stumps and large logs for hardwood, as well as harvesting giant crops. As you upgrade your axe, it will become more efficient and take less hits to chop down trees, and break stumps and logs. Each tier upgrade requires 2 less hits for trees and 1 less hit for large stumps and large logs.

upgrade tiers for hoe & watering can Upgrading the hoe and watering can to the next tier increases its range of effect. This range of effect is the same, regardless of which tool you are using and is always directly in front of the player. Copper Tier Increases to 3 spaces in a line.

Steel Tier Increases to 5 spaces in a line.

Gold Tier Increases to 3 x 3 square space.

hoe The hoe, or shovel, can be used to till soil to plant crops. It cannot till soil through paths so a good trick to avoid tilling the soil below sprinklers, and essentially knocking them out, would be to place a pathway down with your sprinkler on top of it. You can also use your hoe to dig up dirt while traveling in Stardew Valley. The hoe can be upgraded four times and after each upgrade you can hold the button you would normally use to till soil to increase your range of effect directly in front of you.

watering can The watering can is used to water crops, fill you pets water bowl, and fill the troughs in the Slime Hutch. You can refill your watering can at any body of water, or from a well. It is important to know that when watering an area that is larger than a single tile, using an upgraded watering can, it costs the same energy and uses the same amount of water it would if you watered one space at a time.

house upgrades The players house in pretty small when you first arrive in Stardew Valley. Robin the Carpenter, has offered to upgrade your house as needed. There are two house upgrades available, which give the player three house tiers. These house upgrades will not only provide the player with additional room inside their house, some house upgrades are required for certain things, such as having children or getting married. You can also decorate the interior of your house using wallpaper, flooring, and furniture items.

house 1, starter The first house is one large room. Everything can be moved except the bed and the fireplace. The starter house, and each house upgrade comes predecorated and populated with furniture. Feel free to make it your own and decorate as you see fit. Want a cute cottage, great! Want a dungeon? Awesome! Make it yours. You can place furniture you buy or receive as rewards inside. You can also change the flooring and wallpaper, as well as add or remove windows. All house upgrades are purchased at Robin’s Carpenter Shop in the Mountains.

house 2, kitchen & bedroom

house 3, nursery & spare room

Upgrade Cost: 10,000 gold, 450 Wood

Upgrade Cost: 50,000 gold, 150 Hardwood

The second house upgrade adds a kitchen where you can cook recipes you have learned. Watch my video ‘How to Learn New Cooking Recipes’. You can also place items in your fridge, which can automatically be used when cooking at your stove. Useful for eggs, milk, flour, sugar, oil, and vinegar. You also get a bedroom off the main room, and your bed has been increased to a double. This new house allows the player to get married.

The third and final house upgrade adds an upstairs with a nursery and a spare (empty) room. You will also notice the fireplace moves from your bedroom into the kitchen and a tiny space gets added between your bedroom and your spouses bedroom. You kitchen gets much larger, along with your bedroom. This new house allows the player to have children.


Page 61 / 73

farm buildings There are many different farm buildings for you to purchase from Robin at her Carpenter Shop in the Mountains. Some of the buildings will house animals, such as the Barn and the Coop while others may help around the farm or offer you a faster way to get around town. Buildings take 2 days to construct and the location where you want them built must be clear of all debris, trees, and items. Farm Buildings cannot be moved, only demolished and re-built. Two of the farm buildings can be upgraded, the Barn and the Coop, which allow you access to higher tier animals, a larger interior space to house more animals, and an auto-feeding system.

silo Building Cost: 100 Gold, 100 Stone, 10 Clay, 5 Copper Bars Before you build any of the animal farm buildings, I recommend building a Silo. Once built, a silo will allow you to cut grass with a Scythe for Hay, which is automatically stored in the Silo. You can pull Hay from the Silo or from inside the Coop or Barn at the Feeder, to feed your animals. Each Silo holds up to 240 pieces of Hay. You can also buy Hay from Marnie if you need to. If you click on your Silo, you can see how much Hay you have in stock. Be sure to stock up before Winter! The Silo takes up a 3x3 space and is rather tall.

Well Building Cost: 1,000 Gold, 75 Stone Wells can be built to provide an alternate water source to fill your watering can. They also look pretty as farm decorations whether you need water or not. Wells take up a 3x3 space.

stable Building Cost: 10,000 Gold, 100 Hardwood, 5 Iron Bars The Stable is a place to house your Horse. And the Stable comes with a Horse, of course! It is best to build your stable somewhere close to a exit on the farm for easy access. Either the North end, Northeast end, or South end. As long as you don’t demolish your Stable, your horse will always return home the next morning if you leave him somewhere. The Stable takes up a 4x2 space.


Page 62 / 73

coop Coops can house Chickens, Ducks, and Rabbits - and even Baby Dinosaurs. In order to purchase animals from Marnie for your Coops, you must have a Coop already built and room enough in your Coop for another animal. You can go inside and also open and close the latch on the front to let animals out or to keep them in. The Coop takes up a 3x6 space, with the door on the front left side. Building Cost: 4,000 Gold, 300 Wood, 100 Stone The Coop houses up to 4 chickens.

big coop Building Cost: 10,000 Gold, 400 Wood, 150 Stone The Big Coop unlocks Ducks and can house up to 8 animals. It also features an Incubator which when an egg is placed inside, will hatch an animal of the same type as the egg in a few days time.

deluxe coop Building Cost: 20,000 Gold, 500 Wood, 200 Stone The Deluxe Coop unlocks Rabbits and can house up to 12 animals. It also comes with an auto-feed system that will pull hay from your Silos.

fantastical tip The Wicked Witch

Also known as, the Wizards Ex-Wife. This is a random event in which a Wicked Witch will fly over your Coop in the middle of the night, casting some sort of spell on your Coop. The next morning, if you go inside, you will find a Void Egg. If you place the Void Egg into an Incubator (requires Big Coop), it will hatch a Void Chicken in a few days that will lay more Void Eggs. The event happens randomly as long as the player has a Coop built. Although, the chances are higher if you talk to the Wizard the day before and he mentions his Ex-Wife.


Page 63 / 73

barn Barns can house Cows, Goats, Sheep, and Pigs. In order to purchase animals from Marnie for your Barns, you must have a Barn already built and room enough in your Barn for another animal. You can go inside and also open and close the door on the front to let animals out or to keep them in. The Barn takes up a 4x7 space, with the door on the front left side.

Building Cost: 6,000 Gold, 350 Wood, 150 Stone The Barn houses 4 Cows.

big barn Building Cost: 12,000 Gold, 450 Wood, 200 Stone The Big Barn unlocks Goats and can house up to 8 barn-dwelling animals. It also allows animals to give birth. Select this setting from inside the Animal menu when interacting with them.

deluxe barn Building Cost: 25,000 Gold, 550 Wood, 300 Stone The Deluxe Barn unlocks Sheep and Pigs, and can house up to 12 barn-dwelling animals. Comes with an auto-feed system.

slime hutch Building Cost: 10,000 Gold, 500 Stone, 10 Refined Quartz, 1 Iridium Bar The Slime Hutch allows you to raise up to 20 slimes. To raise Slimes you will need Slime Eggs, which can be crafted or dropped by Slimes in the mines after the Slime Hutch has been built. Fill the water troughs inside the Slime Hutch and Slimes will leave slime balls. If you manage to get a male (ball on his head) and female (no ball), they will breed making more slimes and it is the only time they will leave slime balls, when both genders are present and can appear daily. Different color slimes have different drops, for instance, purple slimes will occasionally drop Iridium Ore when killed. It is best to equip the Slime Charmer ring before entering, it is dangerous! The Slime Hutch takes up an 11x7 space, with the door to enter on the front center.


Page 64 / 73

farm animals You can house many different farm animals assuming you have built the proper buildings for them. You can have Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits, Cows, Goats, Sheep, and Pigs - oh, and did I mention Baby Dinosaurs? Having animals can be a great way to make money by crafting Animal Products and also gives you much needed cooking ingredients. Some items dropped by Animals are also required for the Community Center bundles. Animals do require your love and attention, along with a steady food supply. Adult animals can drop most items almost daily, if happy enough.

Taking Care of your animals Friendship & Mood Each animal can be named when purchased from Marnie. They can be renamed at any time. After petting, if you interact with them again, you can see their friendship heart rating with that animal as well as their mood. The rating is out of 5 hearts and can be increased by petting daily, feeding, and keeping them warm. Higher heart rating means chances at higher quality items such as Large Milk or Large Eggs. Their mood can also tell you what is wrong, if they aren’t getting fed enough or if they are cold and need a heater, for instance.

Feeding your Animals Your animals require food to be happy and for them to produce goods. The will not die if they are not fed, but they may cease production of goods until feeding resumes. Animals will eat hay from inside their Coop or Barn, so be sure to place Hay in their feeding troughs. Or if they are allowed to roam outside, will feed on grass (if found). Grass Starters can be purchased from Pierre’s Shop to plant more grass. Immediately after eating fresh grass, an animals mood will change to ‘Very Happy Today!’. Horses and Pets do not require food.

Grass and Hay Opening the doors to the Coop and Barn allow your animals to come outside during Spring, Summer, and Fall (assuming it is not rainy or stormy). They will roam outside and look for fresh grass to eat, saving your Hay for when they are stuck indoors due to weather. If they don’t find grass, they will eat Hay from inside. Animals will return to their coop or barn in the evening, around 5:00 PM. Remember to close the gate at night, Goats especially become sad if the gate is left open overnight. Cut all your grass with a Scythe before Winter, when the grass dies, to get Hay.

fantastical tip Lady’s Exercise Day

Every Tuesday, some of the women of Stardew Valley get together at Pierre’s Shop during the day to exercise as a group. If you are having a hard time finding Robin, Marnie, Jodi, Emily, or Caroline on Tuesday, they are likely here. Be sure to plan ahead on these days, if you want to upgrade or build a farm building, Robin won’t likely be around till very late in the afternoon and Marnie can sometimes stay out and goes directly to the Stardrop Saloon in the evenings leaving her shop unattended.


Page 65 / 73

coop animals Chickens Adult Chickens will lay an egg every morning inside the Coop if fed. Happier chickens may produce quality items, such as Large Eggs. The color of your chicken is random. Brown chickens produce brown eggs and white chickens produce white eggs. If you want a different color, you can sell the chicken and buy another. Chickens at a full 5 hearts sell for 1,040 gold each. Eggs can be sold for between 40 - 75 gold each, although I recommend making them into Mayonnaise which sells for 100 - 225 gold. You can interact with your chickens once a day to increase their heart rating. Ducks Adult Ducks will lay an egg every other day inside the Big or Deluxe Coop if fed. Happier ducks have a higher chance of producing Large Duck Eggs. Ducks at a full 5 hearts sell for 5,200 gold each. Eggs can be sold for 75 gold each, although I recommend making them into Duck Mayonnaise while sells for 300 gold. Ducks may also drop Duck Feathers if they have a high enough heart rating. You can interact with your ducks once a day to increase their heart rating. Rabbits Adult Rabbits will leave Wool daily inside the Deluxe Coop if fed, with no need to shear them. Rabbits at a full 5 hearts sell for 10,400 gold each. Wool can be sold for 270 gold each, although I recommend making it into Cloth on a Loom, as Cloth sells for 375 gold. Rabbits may also drop Rabbit’s Foot if they have a high enough heart rating, but typically only drop 1 every 1 - 2 seasons. You can interact with your rabbits once a day to increase their heart rating. Dinosaurs To obtain a Dinosaur, you must find a Dinosaur Egg and place it into an Incubator (requires Big Coop). Dinosaur Eggs can be found by digging up worms with a Hoe, killing monsters, or breaking open Geode’s. Adult Dinosaurs will lay an egg every 1 - 5 days and make no sound. Dinosaur Eggs can be sold for 350 gold each and one can be donated to Gunther at the Museum. Dinosaurs at a full 5 heart rating sell for 1,278 gold each. You can interact with your dinosaurs once a day to increase their heart rating.

fantastical tip

Need more Earth Crystals?

If you want to keep up with your Chickens and Ducks making Mayonnaise, you will need a lot of Mayonnaise Machines which are unlocked at Farming Level 2. The Mayonnaise Machine takes 15 Wood, 15 Stone, 1 Earth Crystal, and 1 Copper Bar. To get a ton of Earth Crystals to craft your Mayonnaise Machines, use your Crystallarium to get more quickly.


Page 66 / 73

barn animals To gather Animal Products from barn animals, you will need tools to collect them, except for Pigs which leave Truffles around the farm, near the barn. You will need a Pail to milk Cows and Goats, and you will need Shears to trim Wool from your Sheep. Both these items can be purchased from Marnie. Barn animals can also become pregnant, if allowed. If the option in enabled in their menu (when interacting with the animal), a random pregnancy can occur. If an animal becomes pregnant, a message will pop-up at night telling you they gave birth. The game will then prompt you to choose a name for the baby animal. While you need room in your Barn for the new animal, you do NOT need two of one type of animal (i.e. two cows) to have a baby animal. Pregnancy requires the Big Barn. Cows Adult Cows can be milked every day if fed. Happier cows may produce quality items, such as Large Milk. The color of your cow is random and does not effect their milk. If you want a different color, you can sell the cow and buy another. Cows at a full 5 hearts sell for 1,950 gold each. Milk can be sold for between 100 - 150 gold each, although I recommend making them into Cheese which sells for 160 - 240 gold. You can interact with your cows once a day to increase their heart rating.

Goats Adult Goats can be milked every other day if fed. Happier goats may produce quality items, such as Large Goat Milk. Goats become sad if you leave the barn door open at night. Goats at a full 5 hearts sell for 5,200 gold each. Goat Milk can be sold for between 180 - 275 gold each, although I recommend making them into Goat Cheese which sells for 300 - 450 gold. You can interact with your goats once a day to increase their heart rating. Sheep Adult Sheep can be sheered every other day if fed using Shears. Happier sheep can be sheared more often. Sheep at a full 5 hearts sell for 10,400 gold each. Wool can be sold for 270 gold each, although I recommend making it into Cloth on a Loom, as Cloth sells for 375 gold. You can interact with your sheep once a day to increase their heart rating.

Pigs Adult Pigs will automatically find Truffles if allowed outside. During Winter, Pigs will not find Truffles, as they will not go outside. Winter is a great time to buy Pigs so they are adults come Spring. Pigs at a full 5 hearts sell for 20,528 gold each. Truffles can be sold for 500 - 750 gold each, although I recommend making them into Truffle Oil using the Oil Maker, as Truffle Oil sells for 850 gold. The Oil Maker is available at Farming Level 8. You can interact with your pigs once a day to increase their heart rating.

the farm cave You may have noticed there is a tiny entrance in the north end of your farm that leads to a small cave. But RedLace, there is nothing in there. Not yet but there will be! When you reach 25,000 gold total earnings, Demetrius will come by your farm in the morning. He will tell you he has been doing some research and noticed your small cave on your farm. He’ll then ask if he can continue his research in your cave, and you can keep the items left inside. You have two choices, the Mushroom Cave or Fruit Bats. The choice is permanent so choice wisely based on your play style.

mushroom cave

fruit bats

Great for hardcore miners! Six containers will be added inside your cave. These containers will produce various, random mushrooms every couple days.

The Artisan in you will thank you! Fruit Bats will drop various fruits inside your cave. If you want to speed things up during year one for the Community Center Artisan Bundles, many of the fruit you require can be gathered from inside your cave.

You will be able to collect five different mushroom types, Common Mushroom, Red Mushroom, Purple Mushroom, Chantrelle, and Morels. The Common Mushroom, Morels, and Chantrelles appear the most often. If you are looking to craft lots of Life Elixir potions, then the mushroom cave will supply you with all four mushrooms you need to craft them - which can otherwise be hard to come by. This makes the mushroom cave a great option for the hardcore miner. Mushrooms are also used in a variety of cooking recipes and Community Center bundles.

If you plan to spend time focusing on crafting Artisan Goods, such as Jelly using the Preserves Jars, the Fruit Bats will guarantee you a steady supply of fruit without the need for fruit trees. This makes the fruit bats a great option for artisans looking to make lots of jelly. Not many cooking recipes require fruit and they don’t provide much benefit for eating (energy and health) so if you plan on growing lots of fruit trees, you may want to reconsider.

stardrops Why does it taste like cake? Not sure. What I do know is that Stardrops permanently increase your maximum energy by 34 points when consumed.

legendary fish There are a total of five fish in the game classified as Legendary, as they are extremely difficult catches. Legendary fish may only be caught once, with the exception of The Legend. It is recommended you use an upgraded fishing pole, bait, and tackle (I prefer the Trap Bobber) when catching Legendary Fish. You may also want to eat a Dish O’ the Sea to increase your fishing skill and fish on good luck days (check the TV Fortune Teller).
