5 STRANGE Ways To Make Tons Of Money In Stardew Valley

Actually... If you want to benefit from the casino - but the totem, deconstruct it to honey and then turn it to mead (which you can also age on casks but even without it it's worth it).

Speaking of bee houses, I always completely surround the flower in the center with a ring of eight bee houses (I put seven around it first, then finish walling it up after I plant the seed.) The arrangement is slightly less optimal, but it means I will never accidentally harvest the flower in the center.

[@junk3996]

oh ezlilyy! i also have a tip about how to get a TON of wood easily! (a bit off topic but its helpful!) buy wood chippers from robin and put in hardwood into the chipper. thats basically it! so essentially with the Lumberjack profession every tree has a chance of dropping some hardwood when its cut down. and each piece of hardwood gives between 5-10 (lets say average of 8 total) wood. when i cut down a tree i get like 22 wood, but when i chop down a Mahogany tree i get 11 hardwood, which is equal to between 55-110 wood per tree! with the Shaving tool enhancement on the Axe from the forge, you can get even more than that! a wood chipper only costs 1,000 gold and its pretty easy to fill an entire big shed full of them (137) and never be short on wood again. great for crafting all those tappers, bee houses and kegs!

[@puteriqistina3412]

omg thank you so much for this tip! i'm literally stuck on how to get more wood 😭😭

[@junk3996]

@@puteriqistina3412 a great place to farm mahogany seeds is the hidden forest, killing the slimes and breaking the stumps. as well you can cut down the mahogany trees on ginger island to get a bunch of tree fertilizer to help them grow much faster (including through winter) you can deconstruct staircases and grass starter for stone and fiber. something ezlilyy has covered before

[@ChristyTina22]

Wood chippers also turn driftwood into regular wood. Helpful if you have a lot of crab pots, or do a ton of fishing.

If you want to befriend your cows and goats to max hearts in one day, just milk them over and over again. If you cancel the animation for milking (Or shearing for sheep) It stops milking the animal, but it still gives them the friendship point, and since your animal can still be milked, you can repeat this process until your new animal's friendship is maxed out.

[@stevdor6146]

Heres the maths: assuming you are getting 1 iridium ostrich egg each week, what to do with it? Artisan turning it to 10*mayo is 5320/7 = 760g/day average For Ostrich selling to be more profitable, you would need Coopmaster to hatch it in a lil under 5 days, and to max friendship within 22 days (20,800/27 = 770g/day) If it takes more than 22 days, it is less efficient raising iridium eggs to max-ostrich vs. mayo each week Now BASIC quality eggs should be incubated and not Mayo'd because you get a 49 day window after hatching to max friendship and be more profitable than mayo

[@stevdor6146]

And for silver, 39 days For gold, 31 days This is the most days you can spend maxing ostrich friendship after hatching for it to be more profitable than the mayo route Now how long does it take to max friendship? Idk

[@stevdor6146]

According to wiki, 1000 pts to max friendship would take between 27-33 days of manual petting depending on how many days they were able to go outside and eat fresh grass (can you go 27 days without rain/storms keeping everyone cooped up inside) With an Auto petter + manual pets the time to max friendship is 19-22 days. With Auto petter and No manual pets it is 44-66 days to max friendship All these numbers are assuming its not winter and they have a chance to eat grass outside

[@supermusiclover1645]

mayo is really under rated in early game just save until u get 40% profession

what about making money centralized around Coffee and TSE? Basically u need Hot Java Ring (even better if u have 2 and combine them with another ring each in the Forge of your choice), craft some Monster Musks, and go to the lower level mines (esp. where Dust Sprites spawn), and just kill as much monsters as possible for collecting Coffee and TSE, while having a coffee-only farm and keg sheds to make more Coffee, stockpile them, then sell them all either weekly or monthly. It probably won't make that much money than other methods, but I did have fun doing it, esp. since the benefits are that: 1. Apart from the kids (Leo, Vincent, Jas), everyone likes or loves Coffee and TSE 2. u get constant speed boost for cheap (esp. if u have Coffee Maker, and if u are married to someone that may give u Coffee (*cough* Leah))

For ostriches it’s more effective to sell then instantly as soon as the next batch are ready to hatch I think

Instead of fire quartz, use star shards in a crystallarium

[@jaybird6396]

The ostriches :3 noise is so cute

[@Tyrian3k]

I think the ostrich thing is interesting, but I have some doubts about the efficiency. Each time you sell an ostrich instead of keeping it, you lose profit from the eggs/mayonnaise that you could get from them until the new batch of ostriches begins to lay eggs at the same rate and quality, which probably is more than the 20k gold you get from selling the ostrich. They're also not quite free, considering you miss out on selling 10 batches of mayonnaise for each ostrich.

[@stevdor6146]

I think she meant 'free' as in, once you have ostrich that lays eggs, you can incubate the eggs to increase the numbers for your ostrich empire without additional payments. Now you're suggesting instead of investing time into incubating, hatching, and maxing friendship with that egg into ostrich- to just go straight to mayo with it. Yes that makes a quick buck, but every mayo batch you sell (max 5320 with artisan and iridium quality) could have eventually been a 20k Ostrich. Its not hard to imagine quickly outpacing the incubators (eggs coming in faster than can hatch) and this surplus is fine to mayo while you wait for an egg incubator to make room for next batch. I would watch a playthru where @ezlily makes ostrich empire. Its not very efficient unless you can max friendship within 16 days of fully grown (i dont know if thats possible) but is still a legitimate side gig if you dont mind petting 36 bigbirds a day (would drive me crazy)
