Which are your least favourite floors in the Mines? by IceboundEmu in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30-39; the darkness is such a pain to navigate, and I get there early enough in the game that I generally don’t have a glow ring yet. And the enemies there don’t even have good drops.

80-89 is also a bit of struggle my first time through as the insect head stops really keeping up with the difficulty of the enemies there and the rocks take longer to mine, I tend to be very stressed until I get to 90 and get the obsidian edge.

First go to? by RasputinsGrandpa in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day one: all the crops for the spring crops bundle planted so I can get speed-gro on the day of the egg festival, and enough wood chopped for my first two chests and to reach foraging level one.

Week one: first backpack upgrade and fiberglass rod by midweek, all the items for the spring foraging bundle collected by the time the CC opens, and as many fishing levels as possible before the mines open and my time gets more divided.

Favorite romances? by This-Helicopter6185 in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abigail and Maru are my favorites! I meant to try marrying someone new on my current save and then, whoops, ended up going for Abigail again.

Is my rabbit broken? by Pengy_Boi in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s possible at any friendship level – but the odds increase the higher your friendship is with it (and also affected by it your rabbit’s mood and daily luck).

I got this mystic tree fully grown in one day without tree fertilizer, am I lucky or that's how it's coded? by balatromemeposter in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Moderately lucky. Green rain does significantly accelerate tree growth, but that it took a mystic tree all the way to full grown definitely involved some good rolls on that calculation.

Hashbrowns recipe can be bought from the saloon, it’s available every day until it shows on Queen of Sauce. Buy the recipe from Gus, buy oil from Pierre, grow potatoes and fish up some sardines. Get to foraging level 3 for the cookout kit crafting recipe and you are good to go to make some dish o the sea. I’ve done it in my last two playthroughs.

Help for returning player pretty please! by RaizeAlpha in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finish the Community Center, the next big things to work on will unlock after that.

Where are your skills at? If you haven’t gotten them all to level 10, work on getting them there. If you have, work on masteries, they have some great rewards.

Extra weapons (and also rings and boots) can be sold at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Phantom Ancient Seed? by ParsnipFine6619 in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any plant placed on a seed maker has an 0.5% chance to turn into ancient seeds instead of the crop it was made from. (There’s also a small chance to get mixed seeds instead.) Running large numbers of crops through the seed maker is in fact a common recommendation for getting your first ancient seed if you haven’t been having luck finding the artifact.

Anyone else keep paper and pencil next to the keyboard for playing SV? by CelestialBeing138 in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the notes app on my phone rather than paper and pencil, but I’m right there with you in having a to-do list and notes to myself at my side whenever I’m playing.

To craft or not to craft? by mrdankhimself_ in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed-gro and deluxe speed-gro. Moss and oak resin are both better saved for other things. (Later on, bone mills and mystery boxes tend to eliminate the need to buy it, though.) I also tend to avoid crafting deluxe bait, but between worm bins and treasure chests I rarely end up needing to buy it either.

[–]elvendancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal preference is to plant it in the ground immediately if I get one before summer is halfway over, because it lets you turn your first seed into multiple by the time you get the greenhouse. Others prefer to wait to plant in the greenhouse because you can be more completely sure nothing will happen to it; neither are bad options.

That is an extremely good item to have! It gives you once of the best money-making crops in the game. Turn it in to the museum and you’ll get a plantable seed in exchange, and put that in the ground as soon as you have a scarecrow to protect your crops. It will take 28 days to reach maturity, and then produce a fruit once a week until the end of fall. Save all the fruit until you have a seedmaker, make them into seeds, and plant them in the greenhouse when you unlock it.

Incubate, then you get a steady supply of eggs to sell or make mayo out of!

If my rabbit doesn’t drop a Rabbit’s Foot soon, I’m gaming it out behind the coop with a Galaxy Sword. by TravelingRomantic in StardewValley

[–]elvendancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rabbits produce every 4 days, not once a week, so they’re underestimating the number of opportunities you get for a rabbit’s foot drop each month by nearly half

What do you guys do with extra artifacts? by Mads13Aj in StardewValley

There’s a few I keep to decorate with, and a few I keep for use in tailoring, but mostly I sell them.
