Playing Stardew Valley for the FIRST TIME

[@JustintheConqueror]

You want more Stardew Valley?

[@bbot2013]

yos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darkwolf7411]

absolutly

[@rellimarual]

The one early game tip I wish I had sooner is about each season’s foragable items. You need to save one of each for a special quest, but after you do that, you will make more money if you combine one of each kind into a pack of seasonal seeds and sell the seeds instead of selling each individual foragable as you get them

[@plushlover7038]

The dancing grass is called an artifact spot! You can get various items from them! :D They can look like either that or dancing worms!

[@marym6733]

watching you sell the stone, wood and fibre was painful 😪

[@JustintheConqueror]

Should I NOT do that??

[@joethewolf3750]

​@@JustintheConqueror it's not the end of the world but they are crafting materials you can never have too much of. I recommend opening the crafting tab in your inventory and making a chest to store them and other things. (They're also just not worth very much. There are much better ways to make money. If you want, I can expand on those, but I'll keep things spoiler free for now.)

[@joethewolf3750]

I recommend opening the options (from your inventory) and turning on "always show tool hit location". It's the only reliable way to tell where your tool will land. I also highly encourage you to hold your scythe if you're not using another tool at the moment. The scythe doesn't take up energy to use and does not destroy your crops if you misclick. An axe or pickaxe will. Keeping one of everything you find or harvest will probably come in handy. Read item descriptions. They can actually tell you a lot. For example, on seeds, it will tell you how long the seed needs to grow. This becomes important later in the season because plants generally only grow in one season and if you plant them too late, they won't get ready before the change of seasons kills them. On your farm, there are weeds and grass. You can tell them apart by trying to walk through them. Weeds take up one tile and you can't walk through them. Those, you can destroy without worry. The grass, you should leave alone in at least one spot for now. The mildest of spoilers ahead (nothing about the story, only mechanics): If you can, save up some money before the 13th. There will be a useful item on sale that day that is generally regarded as something you want to get. I can go into more detail if you want, just wanna keep this mostly spoiler free. Fishing will become relevant pretty soon but it is very hard at first so if you try it and can't figure it out, I have a few tips for you: 1) take your time with the tutorial on the first fish you catch. It is the only fish you literally cannot fail to catch so you have time to get the hang of things, read the tutorial, etc. 2) buy the training rod from Willy. It is very cheap and it makes things a lot easier. From there, you can level up more easily, which will also make the minigame easier, until you don't need the training rod anymore. 3) don't hold the button or mouse button to control the bar (you'll know what I mean when you see it), tap it repeatedly. At least that works best for me.

I hope you continue with this series seeing someone start out is incredibly charming. Most important thing is to do the parts you like, i usually start by fishing and foraging a lot in early spring but how you spend energy depends on what you’re having fun with.

[@JustintheConqueror]

Thank you so much, the series shall continue!

[@TimYertle]

please make more of this series this is so fun I love it

[@JustintheConqueror]

I SHALL!

[@biancacrafford3000]

This was really fun to watch, reminded me of my first time playing. I only have a few tips but the most important one is to save at least one of everything you collect, usually it will become more important later. Also check the time it takes to grow plants because when it becomes the next season your plants will die. Have fun playing 😊 can't wait to watch more.

[@maelGenshinImpact-p7n]

I love this series please continue this playthrough

[@JustintheConqueror]

I SHALL!

[@darkwolf7411]

the great thing about this game there is basicly no right or wrong, and there is dozens of ways to play the game i wont mind trying to give you some answers on questions awel i know a fair bit

[@TheBeastBoss04]

Big Comment to answer all your big questions (I'll never spoil anything, but I will be answering any questions you may have as after all, I kinda made you play my favourite game): 1. Yes the Stardew Valley soundtrack is technically protected under copyright, but Eric lets people play with the music on in their videos. 2. I don't think you can rotate things without mods, but also not sure why you'd ever need to 3. Using a pickaxe on the tilled soil brings it back to normal. 4. Yes, you did just kill worms you horrible person /j 5. Yes, there is Christmas 6. You don't kill the butterflies 7. That is the Church and Altar of Yoba (ok you found that out) 8. Your assessment of Mr. Morris is 100% correct My Starter Advice: 1. Do whatever you want. (Most Important) 2. You do have a bedtime, and it is 2am, so you were lucky you didn't pass out. 3. STAY AWAY FROM ELLIOTT, HE IS MY HUSBAND NOT YOURS 4. Make sure to water crops each day 5. Keep an eye on your energy bar

[@JustintheConqueror]

Thank you!

[@belindacute90]

6. STAY AWAY FROM SAM HE'S MY HUSBAND NOT YOURS 😂

[@darkwolf7411]

imma correct you on 1 think it is possible to rotate stuff, but only furniture, and if im right its with spacebar

[@TheBeastBoss04]

@@darkwolf7411 really, wow. I have never done any decoration so me not knowing that makes sense

[@darkwolf7411]

@@TheBeastBoss04 you all good, for what I know is you can change directory of furniture to be able to make cosy places in your house

[@marylee9101]

This was so sweet to watch!! I love watching new people play this awesome game

[@JustintheConqueror]

Thank you! I'll try get another episode of this up next week, stay tuned!

You're welcome Elijah

I have 20 hours or lil more on stardew valley and still haven’t made it to my 2 year. I keep restarting bc I feel like I can do better my first year 😂. If I had any tips is buy sprinklers, mine immediately, and plan ahead what you wanna do each day and always check the tv for the wether, and try your best to make relationships with everyone. This all is what I’ve realized while playing.

[@JustintheConqueror]

Got it! Thank you so much, I'll try get part 2 up next week!

[@ohmygoshdontyouknowimasava793]

Omg me too, I just restarted😂

[@bbot2013]

One tip STARFRUIT WINE

[@JustintheConqueror]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

[@plushlover7038]

With starfruit you can put it in a keg to turn it into wine, and it sells rather nicely in pretty sure I haven’t quite gotten to making wine in my play through yet, so I don’t know much about it, but I hope this helps! :D

[@Wrwjbeidy4hdjd]

If you make money put all your money in The Vault suspension

[@JustintheConqueror]

I don't know what this means yet but thank you!

[@darkwolf7411]

[@Justinfication]
