Ultimate guide on Books of Power | Stardew Valley 1.6

Books of power have been added to St Val 1.6 each book will give you a very powerful passive ability in this video I’m going to show you how to obtain every single book of power and how best to use them let’s start with the book of power you can get in the adventurers

Guild just to the room here behind Marlin there’s a free book of power that you can get anytime once you unlock the adventurers Guild all you have to do is kill 10 green slimes when you enter the caves and you can get in here it’s called the mapping cave systems and it

Gives a 50% discount on Maryland’s item Recovery Service which is absolutely amazing how many times have you went into this Cavern or the Harden version of the mindes to lose your precious diamonds Prismatic shards and Galaxy weapons this book of power will take some of the sting out of defeat with the

Mapping cave systems we can now go into the skull caverns and other Harden versions of the mines get killed not worry too much about it it’s not like it’s a Dark Souls game right let’s go to Marland right now and check out his item Cory Service as you can see it’s only 18

Gold now for our precious 18 Stone not the usual 36 gold which is an absolute Game Changer next up let’s talk about the next book of power we can get here from our lovely dwarf friend it’s called the dwarvish safety manual it’s only 4,000 gold and the beauty of this is

That it reduces bomb damage by a whopping 25% how many times have you went into various versions of the mines dropped some bombs to clear away nodes to get those pre just resources only to damage yourself in the process now you won’t have to worry too much 25% reduction is

Huge it’s a lot of Defense towards bomb damage and it could make a difference between life and death when you’re spamming those bombs and you forget to look at your helare we’ve now taken a book of power and just detonated a bomb we take four damage right there and

That’s a very small piece of damage so it just makes doing those Scott Cavern runs a little bit more pleasant the next book of power is called Jack B nimble Jack B thick you can get this from Hing up artifact spots it gives a permanent increase to our defense now A plus one

Defense is nothing to sniff at every single piece of defense that we can acquire will dramatically reduce damage we take from enemies combine this with the dragon scare boots but we can also go further we can also equip two crabshell rings to make the ultimate defense character let’s see how much

Damage we take from some of the harder hitting mobs in the game when we stack tons of Defense top of each other what we have here now are two crabshell rings and two rings of Yoba we also have the best defense boots in the game the dragon skill boots we also have the

Passive plus one defense from the book of power we are also going to take some Buffs as well to increase our defense we’re going to take the magic Rock handy which will give us an additional five defense it’s also worth noting too that we could have went a step further and

Enchanted our weapon with defense but because we have so much defense already it’s not really needed most of the damage these enemies do to us should be minimize to more or less one and as we can see here these enemies aren’t hidden for much at all you could go go away

Have a nice cup of tea come back and still be alive because these enemies don’t do a whole lot of damage to us that is how good that book of power actually is plus one defense is a very handy thing to come across especially early in the game the next book of power

We’re going to talk about is called the monster compendium and this can be obtained from just killing monsters now it is quite rare and I have had to kill quite the number of monsters to make this drop but monsters with this book activated have a chance to drop double

The loot which is Absol Ely amazing a lot of the monsters especially in skull Caverns all have unique loot tables a lot of them if not all of them drop Prismatic shards a lot of the monsters also drop their own unique food Buffs as well for example the serpents drop spicy

Eels the mummies they can drop miners treats the aridian bats can drop energy tonics so it’s always nice to get double the loot we just wiped out a load of mummies hair and look at all the clo that we’re going to get and solar Essences and that’s going to make for

Quite the profit the next book of power we’re going to look at is the Diamond Hunter this can be obtained from the dwarf in the volcano cave at floor number five now you need 10 diamonds to purchase this but this book of power is absolutely insane it gives you a chance

To mine a diamond from a regular node combine this with the geologist Park and you can get two diamonds instead of one we’ll also take the gemologist so that the diamonds are worth 30% more so it’s a nice combination as we can see I’m just mining up in regular nodes two

Diamonds pop out just like that just so you know if you use bombs this park will not activate you have to use your pickaxe the next book of power that we’re going to get is from our lovely raccoon friend but we have to start the

Quest chain to get it in order for us to start the quest chain we have to unlock the greenhouse once the greenhouse is unlocked there’s a 10% chance this Quest CH will activate every day once you repair the tree stump using 100 pieces of hardwood you’re going to get a lovely

Cool cozy neighbor known as the raccoon the raccoon is always hungry and will ask you for items the items change depending on what season it is cuz we’re in summer he’s asking for a smoked large Mount bass most of the time if not all of the time he will normally ask for a

Smoked something so it’ll be some sort of smoked version of a fish once we give him those items he will say here Bobo take this he will give us summer squat seeds we just have to do one more quest to get the next book of power So

Eventually he will find himself a wife the wife sells amazing items and I will make a video about that soon but let’s go back to the book power here he’s looking for spice Berry jelly he’s also looking for some other pickled Goods as well these also change depending on the

Season Once We complete that request the next reward he will give us is the raccoon Journal this is absolutely amazing this will increase your chances of getting mixed seeds every time you whack those weeds in the game and there’s loads of areas in stario valley

Where you can go and farm tons of weeds for example all around cerap Forest your farm you can also go to floor 81 in the mines you can go to the mutant bug Lair just tons of places you can go to get the full effects of This Book of power

This is the mutant book layer at the moment and as we can see we get tons of mix seeds back but we don’t just get mixed seeds we’re now getting the new type of mix seeds as well we’re getting the mixed flower seeds the next book of

Power can be obtained from cutting down trees now if you’re lucky and you get this at the very start of the game consider your first bet you to be extremely overpowered cuz you just won’t need wood for the rest of the game Woody’s secret is an amazing book of

Power now it only gives a 5% chance for trees to yield double the wood but this can be stacked upon some of the powerful faring cors especially the ones that allow you to get more wood from trees the book of power even works on the hardwood trees it basically works on any

Sort of a tree that can be felt so that’s most trees in the game and once you start cutting down these trees with an ridum ax cuz only takes a few swings you’ll notice hundreds more wood in your pocket that you wouldn’t have had initially next up we’re talking about

Jewels of the sea finding treasure chest have a chance to yield raw now and this can be picked up in a fishing treasure chest and you can actually get this very early in the game if you primarily focus on fishing normally it’s going to give you row based on the fish that you’ve

Caught so if you go for the more lucrative fish you can make extra profits by selling that raw or even changing it into aged raw so fishing has become much more lucrative now with the 1.6 update just so you know too that if you get copies of these books and you’ve

Already activated them keep them you can trade them into the book seller later next up we’re going to go to the squid Fest event if we capture eight squids we will unlock another new powerful book and it’s going to be called The Art of crabbing and it just means that the crab

Pots have a 25% chance to yield double the resources for us and this makes the crab pots a little bit more lucrative and the great thing about this is if you use the right fishing perks for example if we take Trapper here we can make crab

Pots for less and if we take the low master crab pots no longer require bait I don’t recommend the Mariner because trash is now so much more useful than it used to be because of the raccoons moving in they would take some trash items off you and give you back really

Nice resources if you take the Lore Master though you’ll never have to worry about ba crap Hots are now more interesting than ever because the new NPC raccoon his wife will sell you items that need trash items in return so it’s now worth your time focusing on stacking

Up on trash items the next book of power is a little bit of the secret there’s a secret entrance here just to the right of Clint’s Workshop now you do need at least a steel axe to get you the first hurdle which is a big log here once you

Break open the log you will then need a steel pickaxe to get rid of this big Stone but once you get you that just behind this tree it’s a very sneaky well- hidden golden trash can upon opening this we get the alleyway Buffet this is an absolutely amazing book of

Power it would give you a much great chance to find items in the trash now there might not be the best items in the world world but they items nonetheless we just picked up a soggy newspaper there that can be recycled into a clot you get that early on that’s a lot of

Money clot is worth a lot broken glasses they can be given to the raccoon’s wife they can also be recycled into refined quarts for sprinklers next up let’s talk to Marne here she has the next book of power the animal catalog you can now access marne’s shop when she’s not

Around this is what we needed years ago because Mar’s never around she’s always in her room looking at Mar Lou is underwear or she’s out and about doing something she’s never in the actual shop when you need her most and the thing about Marie is she’s the only NPC in the

Game that sells hay so if you have a lot of animals you’re so dependent on her if you don’t have a good Silo setup but with this new book of power you can go into her shop anytime you want and you can access all of Mar’s functionalities

You can purchase animals you can adopt pets you can even look at her supplies it’s just an absolutely amazing book of power to get in it was a much needed much needed change in the 1.6 next up let’s talk about the next book of power which is the book of mystery so new

Items have come to start value 1.6 which are mystery boxes this book will increase the odds of you finding a mystery box mystery boxes come from doing all sorts of activities from mining to fishing to farming you pick up lots of mystery crits but we’re going to

Open up more mystery crits just one more book of power we can get by opening up these you can also get it from the artifact jobs as well it’s called a treasure appraisal guide this is absolutely amazing this dramatically increases I mean dramatically increases the price of artifacts it will now turn artifacts

Into an actual business if you wanted to be an artifact farmer you could let’s take a look at the strange doll here normally it’s worth 1,000 gold but with the book of power it’s now worth 3,000 gold which is absolutely amazing so you could potentially make a living of

Artifacts if you wanted to do some sort of a unique artifact play through the next book of power is called the Friendship 101 and you can only get this to my knowledge by getting prize tickets and putting them into Mar Lewis’s priz ticket machine once you’ve put in enough

Prize tickets you will get that book of knowledge there is a sneaky prize ticket up here behind the book vendor now we can’t see the chest because there’s a balloon there but you just need a copper ax to clear away the tree stump you can

Get into this area and pick up a free priz ticket as early as you get that lovely copper axe you can also get prize tickets from doing the Help Wanted quests also from the community quests you can also get price tickets from doing the events too every season so

Once we obtain the Friendship 101 it will give us bonus friendship points every time we do a friendly deed for an NPC there’s a lot of recipes that we need for Perfection that the NPCs will give us once we’ve reached certain friendship points with them so this book

Will make our lives much easier when it comes to attaining Perfection getting married and getting those lovely free items in the mail off your best friends with that book all the NPCs will be your best friends next up the rest of the books you can just buy them off the book Merchant he

Has way of the Wind part one this gives you a minus increase your movement speed there’s also horse to book this gives you an increase to speed when you’re mounted on your horse you also have old C legs this gives you movement speed bonus when you run through grass and

Crops that’s that’s actually very handy there’s also the price catalog I’ve been using this all along it basically just shows you the price of items when you hover over them with your mouse I recommend you get that book as early as possible if you have 3,000 gold to bear

Because it makes planning way easier once we learn all these books of powers I am going to show you a really cool speed crit build now when you purchase the first wave of the Wind part one just exit his inventory and go back in and he’ll have the part two that’ll give you

Another movement speed the queen of sauce cookbook isn’t the book of power but I just want to highlight it if you purchase this you will learn all of the queen of sauce recipes you won’t learn all of the NPC given recipes just the queen of sauce recipes that is all of

The books of power covered but we’re not going to finish the video here I want to show you just how overpowered this addition movement speed is the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to go back here now we’re going to Respec our combat perks we’re going to

Take the combat parks that would increase our critical chance so we’re going to go with Scout critical chance increase by 50% we’re also going to take Desperado or critical strikes are deadlier it just means that if we crit it doesn’t matter what we fight it’s going to die very quickly now we could

Take Acrobat b as well but I prefer Desperado we’re now going to Marge some rings together let’s get the aquamarine ring and the Savage ring so the aquamarine ring will give us increased crit Chance The Savage ring will give us a further movement speed when enemy dies

We’re then going to merge a hot jav ring with another crit chance ring so enemies will drop tripot espressos and coffees just to keep our speed sustained up we’re also going to equip an aridium needle here with Tre aquamarines this will dramatically further increase our crit chance cuz this build is all about

Pulling off critical strikes as frequently as possible we’re also going to enchant it with the Artful enchant so that we can use this lovely needle special ability a lot more we’re also going to use the artifact Golden Spur which give us a 10-second bonus movement speed if we kill enemies along with a

Triple shot espresso and a magic rock candy look how quick our character is now this is one of the fastest characters you’re ever going to see grace the halls of the regular mines our character is an absolute bullet similar to the lovely Irish Obie player BND AI

Our character is just a train nothing can stop our character Nothing Even though this build is more or less a single Target DPS build because you can dispatch enemies so quickly it’s actually a decent build for cave crawling this is just what the horse looks like with the speed Buffs as we

Can see the horse is extremely fast just ignore the crops in the background that’s because I don’t have the randomizer mod active at the moment I also want to say a huge shout out to my channel members thanks so much for supporting me everyone and if you do
