Haley and Sam don't have what Farm Hater needs

[@codysoasis8710]

Early game I think they're definitely easier but later on coffee becomes a pretty big surplus so that's probably why he's considered pretty easy - since while the flowers and cola are liked gifts, Harvey does LOVE coffee, and if you're actually farming 600 bucks a week for two loved gifts honestly ain't a bad deal

[@avereynakama9854]

I thought you could get free coffee on the Ocean Farm from crates? I haven't played it, but someone doing a race chose that farm explicitly for the free coffee.

[@Cyrathil]

09:30 I think we can combine this character into the Hermit-verse. The grandfather in this save is Hermit. Not a farmer grew up with his hermit grandfather trapped on the farm for his summer vacations as a kid and so decided to never become a farmer. Time makes fools of us all, and one day Not a farmer is forced to inherit his grandfather's farm. It's changed in the time since he last saw it; but it still feels claustrophobic. Not a farmer vows to spend as little time on the farm as possible.

Inspired by your hermit game's unusual challenge, I've spent the last few weeks doing a no farming run myself. It's a lot easier if you don't waste an entire month sleeping. By the end of spring I'd reached the bottom of the mines and I was selling gold bars regularly for tons of money. I had enough money to complete the JojaMart rewards by the beginning of autumn!

[@WizBunny3]

Kevin was on the island farm too long. He forgot he could've foraged that whole first month and made money. Also fishing and mining

[@golemosus3955]

Funnily enough - over a year ago when you released your first "Stardew Valley without leaving the farm challange" I was inspired to find new and interesting ways to get back to the game... and I came up with exactly this as a challange! I'm interested to see what your take on it is. I've made it more interesting for myself by allowing only the use of wild seeds (only drop from grass and some monsters - grow random crop when planted) or tree saplings that appear randomly in the wondering trader (very rare, ridiculisly expensive) as far as farming is concerned.

[@theregularterrarian3933]

Kevin, not sure if you know, but talking to the NPCs helps. Every day that you don't talk to them you lose a small amount of points with them, which is why it's not really a good strategy to ignore them and only ever give them gifts. Talking itself also gives you points on its own

While not a romance option, Linus is pretty easy to make you friend. He's always near his house and accepts forageables.

[@Xahnel]

Kevin, you can make money passively using fishing, if you go with the crab pot profession. You'll get experience, and money, and have to do basically nothing but collect free stuff. And since you're not farming, you can put your resources to that without feeling like you're wasting stuff.

📣🌟🌟TIPS FOR KEVIN!!!🌟🌟📣 • *Harvey WON'T give you meds or product discounts even if you marry him!!* He gives you food sometimes, though. • If you *don't* collect quest rewards before the quest time is up (usually 2 days) you'll lose the reward. Even if you completed the quest! You *must* manually collect it in time! 💸 • Gunther gives 🚫nothing useful🚫 for Farm Hater. Sell all gems and artifacts!! (Except dwarven scrolls if you want to buy from the dwarf in the mine) - Exception is the sewer key 🗝️ for donating 60 total items and stardrop for donating all items • Some foragables like berries and grapes can be processed into jam & wine! Kegs and preserves jars should be invested in. (Salmonberry, blackberry, spiceberry, grape, plum, crystal fruit, cactus fruit, coconut, fiddlehead fern) - Invest in tappers early to get the saps you need for kegs and bee houses • The further you get in the mine the better ores will appear on your farm! It's best to speedrun getting to the bottom of the mine than to ore hunt on your way down. You can always go back with the elevator! • Fish ponds give Roe which can be processed like jam, but fish need random items to grow the pond. Look up what items fish need before going this route! (Sturgeon make the most expensive caviar, but need an item only found during Winter). • Those whack-a-mole critters in the mines often drop geodes when defeated. Whether that's worth it is up to you. 💶💵💶💵💶💵 • PIGS are the best livestock to have! Process truffles into oil for BIG BUCKS! Oil makers can be put in the mushroom cave, shed, barn, or just on the ground. 💶💵💶💵💶💵 • The things blocking your path on the farm can be taken out with upgraded tools. Upgrade pickaxe and axe fast to get rid of them. - The secret forest has a lot of foragables and also needs an upgraded axe to access • Once the special order quest board is put up, old lady Evelyn will ask for leeks. Complete this quest!! She'll give you a coffee pot to put in your house that will produce one free cup of coffee every morning! (The leeks have to be collected during the quest, not from a stockpile you already had)

two things, unlock the right side of the beach by taking 300 wood to the bridge, good stuff spawns there its decent cash, second get fish ponds with sturgeon in them and turn their eggs into caviar using the preserves jar, you can get your farming up by interacting with farm animals, chickens ducks sheep cows etc

tip that comes way to late: picking up Truffles is technically foraging. Truffles are a weird item between foraged goods and animal product. See the wiki for more details, but in a nutshell: if you never *pet* your pigs, you would stay lvl 0 farming and still get that sweet truffle money

You can get the training rod for 25g! Makes it super easy to fish you just can't get higher tier fish but it's so easy to fish with that you can easily just get to the level needed for the best fishing pole!

In a way this reminds me of the first time I played this game. I just didn't really want to farm, so I spent a lot of time fishing and exploring the mines. Kevin seems to be eyeing Harvey and Abigail, and I went with Abigail because I mean she has an SNES in her room plus a Chrono Trigger poster which was all I needed to make a decision.
