So maybe Penny loves rabbits or hates the idea of having a dead animal foot on her

[@krinkrin5982]

I actually really like the insect head. It's relatively decent all the way up to the volcano levels of the mine, after which I either find the bone sword or grind for the lava katana.

[@medleyshift1325]

you're joking, but if the insect head drops from an enemy it's not terrible.

[@Ryvaken]

I usually get the insect head before I get to level 40. It's a strict upgrade over anything that can drop that early, unless you get crazy lucky fishing up the Neptune's Glaive (and even that is comparable because of speed mods). I'll use it until the Obsidian Edge drops no problem.

[@MichaelOosting]

I got most of them, but I actually didn't know about Elliot's piano. But I've got a couple tips for you that I haven't seen on your videos yet. - You can wear the copper pan on your head as a hat, allowing you to carry it around without it taking up inventory space. It looks stupid, but hey, more inventory space! - Even though they're foraged, the game considers uniquely considers Fiddlehead Ferns to be a vegetable. So, you can actually put them in kegs to make juice or preserves jars to make pickles for extra profit. - Several tackle recipes are actually profitable to craft. Probably the most useful of these is the trap bobber, you get the recipe at fishing level six and it takes only copper and sap to craft but is worth 200g. It's actually 120g of profit using items you can get abundantly in the early game. - You can place garden pots everywhere outside the farm, even in people's houses, but it won't let you plant most crops... with one exception. For some reason, garden pots will accept tea saplings even if placed outside the farm, so you can turn the whole Quarry or Backwoods into a tea plantation, if you want. - You've talked about whether Diamonds or Star Shards are more profitable in the Crystalarium, but actually, neither of these are correct. The most profitable use of the Crystalarium is Emeralds, assuming you have the Artisan profession and don't have Gemologist. This is because the desert trader will trade an emerald for cheese 1:1 on Fridays, emeralds take 50 hours to produce and cheese with Artisan sells for 322g. (322 / 50) * 24 = ~155g/day/crystalarium. - Similarly, you've talked about how Super Cucumber ponds are a way to farm iridium ores. But there's actually a better one, Octopus ponds. Octopus ponds produce a pretty steady supply of omni geodes, and the desert trader will trade you 3 omni geodes for 1 desert warp totem any day. Put that desert warp totem in a deconstructor, and you get 4 iridium ore, allowing you to straight up buy iridium. This actually produces way more iridium/day than Super Cucumbers. - You've talked about speed buffs and how useful they are, but there's a weird thing about them that's different from all other buffs which most players don't seem to realize. Qi seasoning does *not* work on speed buffs, so you can't make triple shot espresso with +2 speed, unfortunately. But if you make triple shot espresso with qi seasoning in your inventory fridge, it *will* use it up regardless and make worthless gold star espresso. So you should always make sure to take that Qi seasoning out of the fridge and store it somewhere safe when whipping up some espresso. - There's an easy way to speedrun your way to 10 hearts once you get 8 hearts with a marriageable character. For some reason, the day you give someone their first bouquet, so long as you haven't already talked to them that day, you can give them unlimited bouquets. Each will raise their friendship slightly, so you can just keep spamming them with bouquets until you get to 10 hearts. This is a pretty easy way to get the rare group 10 heart event. - Since 1.4, they've fixed beehive processing time so that it now takes exactly 4 days. This is actually the exact timing of poppy and blue jazz harvest dates using hyper speed grow, meaning there's no need to just plant the flower and leave it all season, you can harvest it when your honey is ready and replant and your next crop of poppies and jazz will be ready in time for the next honey harvest. This is useful to get stacked with blue jazz for lucky lunch, or poppies for gifting to Leah or Penny.

I some how found out that you could fill up your watering can before I knew that there was a stardew valley wiki. I found this out right after I found out that you could fill up you watering can with a fish pond.

[@michaelmcalpine543]

31, and yes, in my first playthrough I was having so much difficulty in the mines that I got the insect head passively and used it for a while.

[@LohStorm]

I got 50/50, mostly as a mix of me being a wiki goblin and also watching stardew content regularly

[@Eagleeye7530]

I am surprised you have not dived into transmuting (1:39), especially when you showed off the best transmuting craft with iron to gold of the two transmuting crafts. Let me first say, I have seen a bunch of your videos and I have learned a few things that have helped my play within the game of Stardew Valley so figured I would do the same. So let me explain why Tranmuting should become a thing in Stardew Valley but for a profiting. First, only do the Iron Transmuting once just to get a crafting badge of honor as taking 3 copper bars into one Iron Bar is not worth it, as 3 Copper Bars, by themselves will net you either a 60g or 90g (if you have the Blacksmith Profession) more as long as you sell them as copper bars and not as Iron bars. However, I mine the mines early to get to floor 120 as fast as possible so I can concentrate mainly on iron bars to make money early on. This is because you will have top-notch equipment for combat which with that will help make mining iron ores easy and if you take two iron bars and sell them as gold bars you could make an extra 10g or 15g (if you have the Blacksmith Profession) selling them as gold bars over top of if you had sold them as iron bars. So if you have five furnaces cooking bars to max perfection in and out for 10 hours. If you were doing just gold ore to gold bars, you would make 2,500g. However, take those same five furnaces doing iron ores and then transmuting them to gold, you will make 3,000g. That is more gold in your bank account than just doing gold alone. Or if you did that for 20 hours, you would have 5,000g on just gold ore, or transmuting the iron bars from iron ores, you would make 6,250g. That is 1,250g more profit by changing the iron bars to gold in the same time frame as making gold bars. And, if you have the Blacksmith Profession, that 4,875g more in your pocket versus selling the iron bars straight. Of course, sell one iron bar for the honors of selling one bar but otherwise, if you don't need it for other crafting, go GOLD transmuting. I mean who doesn't love gold, well, unless you want Iridium. But hey, just food for thought, check it out.

[@MamaBearicorn]

Right? I transmute all the time when I need certain bars.

[@MamaBearicorn]

Okay, that's more facts than I knew haha I just transmute bars

[@uxtalzon]

I somehow got the insect head as a drop and it carried me for a looong time. Huge upgrade at the time. Abigail also wants to share a cup of hot cocoa during winter. Supercute video. :3

[@uxtalzon]

Haley hates the prismatic shard because everyone else loves it, so she thinks it's prettier than her. Penny hates the rabbit's foot because if you talk to her at the grange fair, she won the wheel 10 times in a row and and was told she can't play anymore, so her luck is so high that it jinxes her.

[@The_One_Dark_King]

I'll admit, I think the only one I knew was that you can dig dirt in hostile areas for cave carrots and such. Didn't know a single other one.

[@marianocolsin8968]

A pro tip to this video: instead of starting from zero and summing the numbers, instead start at 50 and subtract the value of the fact that you didn't know. This way you have to do less operations.

In my longest save I got the insect head rlly early and didn’t have much money so it was significantly better than my other sword options and I used it for a long time

[@TheCuteKyuubi]

Imagine if you didn't know you could get wood from trees

[@vickisnemeth7474]

I get the insect head early, so it's still useful by the time I get it. It's better than any swords you can get for free until the bone sword. I have also transmuted in previous casual games because I waited until high-level versions of recipes were available instead of using up my copper.

[@VampyTheVampire]

The only think I "missed" points for was the piano at Elliot, I knew of it but never can remember the order to play it. As for the sink you can also use a fish pond in the same way to refill your watering can. And when it comes to monster musk in the volcano, it is mainly focused at making the swarms ("cloudy effect") appear more commonly and since the volcano doesn't have swarms it isn't as obvious that it has an effect there, besides, it can also happen in the mines or in skull cavern that you sometimes enter a floor that's pretty much empty of any monsters. And while these two items are slightly harder to stock it's best to use golden pumpkin or pearls as a loved gift, they are 100% loved by everyone.

[@Mephil]

Monster musk does work in the volcano according to the game’s code.

[@SillyStraws10]

did you know magic rock candy gives 5+ luck? you can buy it for three prismatic shards from the camel trader on thursdays, im not sure of other ways to get it, but its pretty cool >->

I do actually enjoy the bug weapon a lot. Sometimes I play a long slow game with my friends, no min maxing. And we end up racking up the kills on bugs because there’s always a person in the mine, and there’s not enough weapon drop for everyone. I really appreciate the bug weapon because it is pretty strong for 80 levels, all the way to lava stage

[@ladyoblivious]

The bug head. I got that year 2 from the old guy and found a club year 1 in the mines. I haven't even reached level 40 in the mines yet, nevermind 20. That head will still hold well for me for some time to come.

[@dennisfarley7934]

49/50 i knew about using the hoe in the mines and but didnt know that you can just re hoe it for more items

[@CrystallineSoll]

1:39 - I actually tend to study what is more efficient before I sell excess items, such as, whether to cook fish/crops, in what way etc. Hence, about the bars, copper bars earn the most if you sell them as they are, while the iron bars earn more money, if you transmute them to gold. Just saying.

[@ceebailz]

I had the insect head when it was actually useful because I didn't know about the elevator for my first few seasons and I was treating the mines like the skull caverns

[@IceRiver1020]

Penny not appreciating an animal's foot as a gift makes sense to me. Idk what's up with Hailey though.

[@38lizzieb]

27/50 I could have given myself some half points because I knew half of the tips but not the other (like I knew you could play Elliot's piano but not that if you played it in a specific sequence he gave you a hear emoji)

[@janeenschultz8502]

If you're curious, the specific sequence is the title theme song!

[@matthewmartinez3550]

Insect head is great for early mines. If you farm a full set of copper tools, you shouldn't be far off from the sword with how many bugs spawn. Even more if you know the wild bait recipe. The bug floors are perfect for it, lots of weeds, bug meat, and slime.

[@TheSkyRender]
