Hey so fun fact! It doesn’t matter what smoked fish/dried mushrooms/dried fruit you give the raccoon’s- despite asking for different varieties any kind counts for completing the quest.This isn’t on the wiki and I’ve never heard anyone mention it anywhere, but I found it out accidentally while playing through 1.6 and I’m not sure how no one else has noticed this yet? It’s worked across multiple different play throughs and on a friend’s account as well, so I’m pretty sure it’s a real thing. I suspect it’s similar to the exploit that let you use wallpapers in the community center… or is a side affect on how bulletin board and community center quests don’t usually specify an exact *type* of artisan good you’re putting in, and just cares that its jelly or whatever.

The purpose of that added side path to the quarry cave is the daily respawn of coal nodes, much like the stumps in the secret woods. They aren't guaranteed to have the same number or be in the same place, but after checking it every day for a year I only had a handful of days that didn't have at least one node, and most had 3-4.

Daily luck doesn’t affect number of monsters or infested floors. Infested floors are predestined by Yoba (your game seed)

Loving this video! I just started a new play through on my PC (I’ve been a switch stardew player) and with the 1.6 update, and this is so helpful to see what’s new/different. Excellent videos as always.

[@puppershuffle]

“Brassieres” are a type of clothing. “Braziers” are light sources pronounced bray-zhr, rhymes with Brendon “Frazier,” (Fray-zhr) in most American dialects (where the z is a zh, not an s). The emphasis, like with Frazier, is on the first syllable. But at the rate people pronounce it Bruh-zear/Brassiere, you’ll probably end up being right. Pronunciation is always fluid. Also to be clear, loved the video 💚

[@VultureSkins]

It’s a joke, I think the actual accidental mispronunciation is in his video about craftables?

[@DanelerH]

Well, that was interesting to see. It was very different compared to my playthrough, at least regarding everything but the endgame grind. Speaking of the endgame grind, I'm going to have to take that idea for using Dehydrators on Ginger Island. I've been turning the Starfruit in my greenhouse into wine, but I'm about to have a couple hundred finish growing and not nearly enough kegs to wine them. I started playing a couple weeks ago and have been aiming for Perfection. My first year wasn't the most efficient. I did most of the Community Center and caught most of the fish (missing only the octopus, Ginger Island fish, Legend, Crimsonfish, and Angler), but I hadn't progressed towards much else. I'm in Winter of Year 2 now and have been spending the year actually trying to accomplish something. Starting in Spring, I was checking of what I needed for Full Shipment, Polyculture, Gourmet Chef, and Craft Master. Any crops I needed, I would buy from Pierre and/or Sandy on the first day of the season. In my house, I set up five chests and one large chest for cooking and crafting. Four of the chests were for cooking ingredients, sorted by season. The large chest and fifth regular chest are for crafting ingredients. Fortunately, the wiki provided a list of total items required for cooking. Unfortunately, it did not do the same for crafting, but it did list all the recipes with the associated items. I just copied the ingredients into a text file, then wrote a script to total them for me. Polyculture and Gourmet Chef were finished in Fall. Full Shipment and Craft Master have similar issues at the moment. I didn't make it to Qi's Walnut Room until Fall, so I haven't seen many of his quests yet. Specifically, I haven't seen Danger in the Deep, so I'm missing Radioactive Ore and Bars. Additionally, I need one more Dragon Tooth, three Mystic Syrup (one of which needs to be shipped), and a lot of iron for crafting. I'm also missing Ancient Fruit, but that's just because I've been prioritizing turning those into seeds. I have a Mystic Tree growing with fertilizer, so it should still grow through Winter. Hopefully I'll have gotten Danger in the Deep by then so I can use a Heavy Tapper on it. I want to have all 21 points for grandpa at the start of Year 3.

A tip about trinkets, i my opinion the best trinket is the ice wand. It is the one which freezes enemy in their tracks. Otherea are also good but after reforging the trinkets the anvil thingy you can get more freeze time than the recharge, i have like 3.7 sec freze with 3.4 recharge. The projectile is unstoppable and any enemy no matter whether exposed or protected, meely or ranged whould be frozen solid. It saved my butt alot in skull cavern. It freezes ghosts so you can hit them however much you want and any ranged enemy is unable to use projectile. This includes the putrid ghost of dangerous mine but remember meely attack still damage you. It works perfectly with the clubs
