I just started playing the game on my switch. Man I have so much to do 😵
Your voice is very relaxing
"Only 100 hardwood"
Ummm…. You make that sound like it's an easy task
the second i got the greenhouse i knew i had to find ancient fruit safe to say with a combo of kegs preserve jars and seedmakers im a millionare
"Tips for the early game" that involve getting TRUFFLES are not tips for the early game. 🙄
I strongly disagree that you should upgrade inventory space "as soon as you can." You need to save as much money as you can for Strawberry Seeds in Year 1. Never upgrade your backpack before the Egg Festival.
Befriend Caroline as soon as possible. After 2 hearts go into her backroom and she'll give you the recipe for tea saplings. Level your foraging with the tip from the video and gather as many foragables as you can. You'll need as many seasonal seeds as you can to make them into tea saplings. Plant a few and sell the rest for 500 G each. It doesn't sound like much but this tip regularly saved my ass on the first day of a new season. That's even more money to spend on pumpkin seeds 🙂
my plan is just to farm a bunch mine/fish make tappers when i can until i can make kegs also using the hoe on worms to look for the anceiet seed to get the recipe
Funny how she didn't went deeper in the most efficient way of getting gold that is farming obviously
My personal early game strat is actually tea saplings, you can buy summer spangles relatively cheap at the travelling cart, they’re also quite common in my experience, and Caroline likes daffodils if you can’t find them cheap enough, you should only need five or less spangles to get to two hearts.
Min price for summer spangles is 270, if you end up needing five that’s 1350, pretty pricey, but the saplings sell for 500 each and you can get 5 from each wild seeds you craft, it pays itself off right away. Even at their most expensive they’re only 5000 all together, that’s only 10 saplings and is easily paid off.
The biggest issue is normally fibre for me, but you can get it pretty easy in the mines and you have the chance of an ancient seed on those floors, which is also very useful.
This remains really good money through early and midgame, but after you get linus’s trash quest it gets even better. I personally recommend getting a good wood stockpile from robin ASAP with this method, after the fibre issue, wood can become a problem, you use tons of it.
Im in fall first year with 40 teir 2 sprinklers. I think its going pretty good at least i dont have to grind for crops like i did in my first playthrough
Aaaah, so many new games but these are such handy tips. I admit, I knew fishing was helpful and I tried to include it, but I seem to neglect it early game. I’ll give these all a try in this new game, thank you~
Fishing literally doesn’t work on xbox
Great tips for starting a playthrough! Gonna use some of these in my newest save.
.
thanks, needed this for my joja playthrough （╹◡╹）
I want to add a tip, do the mission of the corf, it lets you move fast for some place around the map. :DD
In really good at fishing, my third day I only cought catfish
How did you get so many gold lewis statues?
5:16 hmm yes the rain totems require 69 pine tars hmm not sus at all!
1. I only use rain totems when I'm upgrading my watering can
2. Also I never get sprinklers until I can afford the iridium ones, I feel like they're a waste of money and resources since you can water everything by yourself and it doesn't take this much time
3. You can get a little iridium in early game by fishing, go for a super cucumber and put it into a fish pond, there's a 5% chance to get 1-3 iridium from them, it's not much but it's much better than nothing
I love the way you say pumpkin
Disagree
Would being in my 2nd spring count as early game?
I love her ascent, pumpkin to punkin ❤
How many years of gameplay at the first seconds? Console?
title says early game but these tips are for semi mid game?
Punkins lol
"This morning on the news, stardew valley is experiencing torrential downpours and unprecedented flooding"
Some more tips, Always prioratize treasure chests when fishing, Build a silo before you get Animals, And pickle your pumpkins
This isnt early game tips to me. I dont make that much money and items that early game.
these tips suck ngl
Idk why but i needed to upgrade my axe three times to get to enter the forest for hardwood
Not two times
Whyyyy?
I recomend dont sell the fishes until get the level 5 of fishing when you can sell them for more money
I’m pretty new to Stardew Valley, and this guide helped a ton!
Your voice is also really nice by the way
My strategy is super simaler, almost exact, except the only difference is I spend every second of my spare time in summer grinding ore in the mines. I always end with 30+ qualities sprinklers by fall. That's 240 Watered squares. 100 cranberries 100 pumpkins and 40 misc. At the end of winter, I always have ten foraging cause I just slam up like 500 winter seeds with all the watered space. Spend winter grinding fiber and skull caverns. Turn all the winter seeds to tea tree saplings. 500k off saplings for year 2 sounds like a grind, but honestly, summer is the only grind heavy portion.
Thank you for the tips!
This helped a lot thanks
While you are busy making money fishing, you can invest in lightning rods. Once installed, they are a care free source of money. During storms, lightning hits the rods and creates battery packs, which can be sold for 500 gold. To create a lightning rod, you need iron ore and a furnace, so that means at least level 40 in The Mines or buying the ore from Clint (150 g during the first year). Lightning rods also make excellent fence posts. They never rot. And they will continue to produce battery packs throughout the entire game.
Speaking of fence posts that never rot, I recommend giving daffodils to Caroline in the General Store. At two hearts, you are able to enter her private sun room, where she introduces you to tea. The next day she mails you a recipe for making tea saplings. They are made of wood and fiber, and sell for 500 gold. You can plant them all over your farm. You don't need to till the soil. You don't need to water them. They are a trellis crop, so leave space to walk around them. They take 20 days to grow to maturity, after which each bush will produce one Tea Leaf each day during the last week (22nd-28th) of Spring, Summer, and Fall. Each leaf sells for 50. Once you reach Farming Level 8, you can put one leaf into a keg for three hours, and it produces a cup of tea, which sells for 150.
Once you reach fishing level 3 and have access to iron bars, you can build crab pots. They are a very easy way to catch all kinds of marine life, which you will need for the Community Center Crab Pot bundle. You will also snag some trash. The trash can be recycled into cloth, iron ore, coal, wood, stone, torches, and refined quartz, which you will need for your lightning rods. At Farming Level 9, you can turn all the seafood into Quality Fertilizer, which will save you 150 g if you bought it from Pierre, and produce more silver and gold crops, which will sell for more.
Save your money and invest in a Deluxe Barn. Fill it with pigs. Complete the Joja Community Development Form and buy an Auto-Petter. If you chose the Foraging skills of Gatherer and Botanist, each truffle will be worth 1250 g. Rinse and repeat.
hmm I dont get it, how do you get that 20 preserve jars after fishing at first month..
Idk if this way right path but i slaving in watering crops till sprinkler ready
Seems like a guide for mid-game. everything too expensive for that
