How To Farm Calico Eggs From The New Desert Festival

This video can double as a skull caverns guide for those struggling. While I don't get the absolute most possible calico eggs, you would need thousands of staircases to do that, I showcased my methods of tackling the skull caverns for easy egg collection.

"You really don't need that many calico eggs..." cue Emily selling a prismatic shard for 500 eggs on day one of the festival. :(

[@MissRora]

If you get Pierre, he sells 200 eggs for 150g. Almost halfway to the shard!

[@myselfme7945]

Will you always get Emily as a seller on one of the days?

[@bluecorvidart]

@@myselfme7945 I don’t think she’s been there every year for me but she was there on the first day the first time I went to the festival, so I’m unreasonably paranoid about it. 😂

[@ryancarrell3186]

this dude is operating on a level I can't even imagine

[@cmdndms]

Yeah like level 300 something

[@bscribbz1370]

This dude himself is the stardew almanac, nothing he doesn’t know, nothing he can’t do

[@Jenna_Talia]

Put my pick in for an iridium upgrade as the festival began and could not do a thing in the skull caverns for the whole time.

I had no clue the quiz guy could ask all normal questions! When I first encountered him I was asked "How many steps have you taken" before I'd unlocked the casino. I thought it was supposed to be a gag/prank quiz.

[@alexanderendrizzi462]

apparently with the step question the middle answer is always right! at least that’s what I read

[@Aetharn]

​@@alexanderendrizzi462 slightly wrong. Its not the middle answer as in the one in the middle, its the middle answer as in the value is in the middle of the other 2 values given, like as in their numbers

[@Hydraina]

This is CRAZY because my questions were absurdly easy like "what day of the week is Pierre's usually closed?"

[@omegahaxors3306]

Vincent at the till is like an inversion of that meme where the anime child drops buttons into the change pan.

[@fardass3535]

The monster book doesn't actually work like the burglar ring, it instead sees what already drops and gives a chance to double it.

[@themighteefox]

It seems like there are more than just 4 cacti you can get. It's like over a 100 versions, because there are 3-4 parts of the cactus that can have a specific look and it randomizes the combination. It has like idk 12 faces for example? It's really cool ^^

[@Flowmaster925]

theres 9,217 combinations of faces, bodies and pot

[@Light-ro5bp]

Damn, there goes my idea of collecting them all

[@_michiya]

Emilys shop at the event is definitely the best I've seen, she sells a prismatic shard for 500 eggs

[@alittar8062]

honestly, this isnt even that strong

[@danielgal4274]

Jas sells a rock candy for 300...

[@SoAbaa]

​@@alittar8062 you can use it for enchanting, which is pretty strong in my opinion

[@nerellos]

I am more of a pan enjoyer from Penny

[@thebee4398]

Something interesting you can do: if you go to the regular mines on a desert festival day and go down five floors with the elevator it will count for your egg rating

[@waffles3629]

That has since been nerfed

[@Lauriieton]

perfect kinda video, would love for you to make more of these guides

[@lorddracon1449]

the fact this games code can hadnel haboo and blade brekaing it so often is amasing

I've definitely gotten ladders and then drop shafts in skull caverns. The new randomization I assumed. Maybe I was just imagining things

“Plus one nore per ode” 😂

[@lety18chula]

it's all about the small pleasures like watching haboo dive with your cat and a joint, thanks for the video

[@goosegooseee]

real asf

[@theresahess9740]

from what ive seen, emily’s outfits depend on what your highest skill is level wise. so if you have level 10 fishing and everything else is lower, she will give you a fishing themed outfit. idk how the game determins it when every skill is level 10, i would guess its random to some degree

[@gracedreifuerst]

It might depend on how many do you have from each skill for filling the mastery levels

[@mothknight7050]

​@@gracedreifuerstmastery is collective im pretty sure though and not based on one skill exp

[@lexylily]

...so why did she dress me up in trash? Was she saying get good? She literally gave me shorts and the trash shirt. I paired it perfectly with my trash can hat. But I'm still wondering why she gave it to me. Does she just know that I am a trash gremlin?! I need answers!

[@AkariEnderwolf]

her outfits are seeded, you can check what you'll get if you put your save in the predictor long before the event happens. it's not determined by skills.

[@jeremyblackheart]

If you play on the Riverland farm and are good at fishing. You can semi-consistently get to the festival year 1 by catching The Legend and getting lucky with rain. You need to skip the egg festival. I did it once on the forest farm, but it took an insane amount of luck, and I didn't have the same resources that I did on the riverland farm (iron pickaxe).

[@Hydraina]

This is insane. I love it

[@CAlonghair]

Egg rating needs to be 55 not 50 to reach the max of 500 eggs from gil

[@CapNJunkie]

Thanks for that video. Very fun, informative and entertaining to watch!

[@hulacat1555]

never been this early to a haboo video! so excited for all the new 1.6 videos

[@nondisclosureable]

Calico eggs drop from a variant geode node not an ore node, so you want geologist->excavator to improve their drop not Miner+x.

[@roceboss]

his nbd and not bad is equivalent to my waaah how do you even... lolz. goodness. i quite enjoy the event. i was wondering what it was on the calendar in my year 1 x) i also appreciate the thoughtfulness of non-cut edit portions and i even like the hyper focus realness O.O

[@potcotch7165]

Been waiting for a 1.6 vid from haboo

[@jadassbank]

what a legend

[@noisurt]

The only question i had is why not galaxy boots? If I remember correctly you get them anyway while descending in mine and they are pretty good and you need to reach F120 anyway. Are dark boots any better or it was like "just because"?

[@CreeperCat0407]

I'll keep this in mind for when us console players get the update in a few months or something

[@gkoala8360]

Haboo, what are your thoughts on the parrot egg in terms of gold gain from mining? Is there a case to use it over fairy box?

[@user-os4gv3dh1e]

to buy the Woodcutter's Weekly with eggs may be one of the new best way to boost up foraging level

[@darthmaul5413]

can you do Stardew Valley's Low% get to Qi's Walnut Room at 3% Perfection or close to it in 1.6 with the new Randomization system?

[@pearcyjackson280]

18:00 Did ladder and dropshaft spawning change in 1.6? Because I've determined off a bomb and gotten 2 drop shafts and a ladder from nearby rocks in 1.5 before.

[@justanotherhuman-re4ie]

Yay new video!!

[@Bagel12321]

i pretty much always play skull caverns like you do in multiplayer because it's more chaotic and fun. do i get less resources out of my skull cavern runs? probably. is it really enough to matter? nope! (i'm not speed running)

[@omegahaxors3306]

Hot damn the tinkle fairy really do be carrying on that second run.

[@mylittlekendalll]

Tinkle fairy is wild

[@lukasmartens8875]

Its funny how he says hes being carefull but is still on level 100 2x faster then i am almost every single time with 100 gold cheese

[@thatoneinternetgirl7965]

If anyone really want easy mode I’d recommend my cheese strat of going to every elevator level in the mines at the start of the day. Gets you an automatic ~20 egg level. Gil rewards the highest egg level you get in a day so you can still cavern run without worrying you’ll loose that initial cheesed level if you don’t get higher from caverning

Just did my first run with 5 staircases and like 30 bombs maybe idk, but got to lvl 100 and finished mr.Qi quest lmao

[@Bansou15]

Don't know if it is just my game (i play with mods) but normal cave seemed to raise my egg rating.

[@PejorativeDaedal]

I think drop shafts spawns more when you have worse luck. This is only theory but I've been noticing it alot when i try to dive during unlucky vs lucky days.

[@rachiku4]

I've never seen 3 chests on floor 300, while typing this you said "you can skip them with a drop shaft" thus making me realize I always accidentally skip those;-;

[@Quyzbuk86]

Have you encountered any errant red iridium bats in your tests from the statue debuffs or are those still hidden away on the 500+ floors?

[@Jack-kx5rf]

The wiki says that the you need an Egg Rating of 55 to get the best reward.

[@_ikako_]

I'm glad that my loadout for skull caverns is almost identical to hab's except I use a lucky ring instead of savage ring also is it just me or is haboo kinda cute with that haircut and those glasses

[@miked5647]

Who has 250 bombs year one then? Wtf. Especially since they are like 1k gold or 5 quartz each and cannot be crafted til mining 6

[@orngjce223]

He is a speedrunner; even when he is trying really hard to correct for "normal player" he's still overestimating. Still: if you play well and have a bit of luck, by year 2 it is _possible_ you can have your greenhouse mostly filled with ancient fruit, and Mines spelunking over the previous winter to help fund a barn full of pigs that you let grow up over the winter to start getting loads of truffles for money come spring. I don’t think it's as likely as he makes it out to be, but it's not actually impossible.

[@miked5647]

@@orngjce223 so no he was straight up cheating. 250 bombs when you cannot craft them yet is cheating. Mining lvl 6 is bombs he was 5. You telling me you farmed up 250 bombs that fast even speed running? Nah man I have seen speed runners

[@NichtWunderkind]

​​@@miked5647 mining level 6 is super easy what do you mean????? Hes mining lvl 5 because its a prepared file But getting those bombs vanilla is not difficult at all...

[@alpha_vampwolf1778]

Honestly same. I have looked at so many ways to do sc and still dont even manage half the efficiency that the videos manage

[@lolzasouruhm179]

Multi player mining you do as a team so you each take half the enemies of a floor

[@MegaWinner16]

Thoughts on replacing the burglar ring with a luck ring instead?

[@clownRatcity]

Burglar ring is so much more beneficial here especially with all the luck bonuses he already has. Burglar ring literally doubles loot

[@windflier1684]

why replacing it? I always just combine them

[@Nx042]

@@windflier1684 having two iridium bands is arguably better for cavern dive since that 20% damage boost (plus magnetism. I dunno if it stacks) could do much more. Sure, you could have an Iridium-Burglar and Iridium-Luck combo. But swapping that Lucky ring with Savage or Napalm might help you better.

[@skallet]

@@Nx042dmg irrelevant since he use the hammer glitch, prob bc of double magnetism

[@lifebreadbakeryandminifarm2834]

Could have started converting stone to staircases to free up that stack

hey awesome video as always , just curious do you have an idea when 1.6 update will come to console , PS4 to be exact ? thanks

[@moonstenebrocity]

[@mattcollins2011]

You can you make a video on how many gem berries you can possibly grow by the end of fall year 2? I saw a picture of 3200 on a farm in fall of year two and that’s fucking wild if true and I think it would make for good content

[@mattcollins2011]

Yo* can you

[@Hestia_of_hearth]

250 bombs is super easy to get especially for me cuz i have weird luck/non luck with the surprise gift boxes you find from qis drops that just give you 5 each how you open i have like 100 rn

Fun fact - even if you don't unlock the SC before this festival, you can still enter it 😊

[@Mr.Sheltor]

[@t_butter]

[@GeMinecraftTutorials]

he's always talking about "turning on animation cancelling" how can you turn it on? is it an outside macro or something?

[@fluffysprout]

Yep

[@AlienGurke]

yes, with Right Shift + Del + R you can animation cancel in vanilla yourself without anything else. But he is using a macro to bind them all on one key, so he can press the left button and some ms later he presses an other button on this keyboard to cancel the animation. You can also write a script (like i did) which cancels the animation automatically when holding down a specific button (this way you can still chose between not animation canceling and animation canceling) but in offical speedruns this isnt allowed as far as i know. Funfact: if you press s (so looking to the south) you cant animation cancel that fast like from the other directions. For rocks and woods its about 40ms time before you can animation cancel safely from west, north and east but looking to the south below 90ms delay before animation canceling can actually fail lol Also for watering and hoeing you need a way higher ms delay before animation canceling (like 150 is safe for all directions), thats why i added an extra button to switch between fast mode and normal mode lol

[@laurentoraya8207]

Hey, I think I might’ve found a 1.6 glitch, has anyone else gone to the Quarry mine and found that it has a mine cart that leads you too a new stair? And if you go down that stair is brings you to floor 77258 of the Skull Cavern literally filled with iridium ore? I am currently on Fri 12 of Spring in year 2 on the file I found this on

[@orngjce223]

"Average player" is playing for the first time, not optimized for anything, and has only looked things up on the wiki if they got stuck. Like, probably they spent time with the NPCs or growing less profitable crops because they are pretty, instead of making money.

[@AkariEnderwolf]

"casual" *year 1 spring desert, 250 bombs, level 5 combat* ah yes, very "casual" of course. As a guide goes, saying it's a casual run for year 1 is very much wrong, casual for year 2, maybe, but definitely not year 1, that'd only be doable speedrun style. I can understand saying it's casual, for you, but its definitely not casual for the general casual(non-speedrunner) stardew player.

[@omegahaxors3306]

It's not really a realistic scenario if you're spamming bombs and animation canceling. Not everyone plays like a loser.
