The Riverland Farm is Over Powered | Stardew Valley Lets Play
Welcome to a new Stguey Valley challenge. We are going to start on the Riverlands farm and we are going to play through one whole year on this farm just to see how much money we can make by using this very specific farm type. Now, the Riverlands farm is known for starting with a fish smoker. We will absolutely use that to our advantage. Because it’s day number one, there isn’t much we can do for now. So, we will run around the map and pick up some forgeables. We will donate the chewing stick to Gunther. This is going to give us 250 gold, bringing us right up to 750. Now, we aren’t going to buy any crops today. Instead, we’re going to save all of our money, and we will try to get the fiberglass rod tomorrow. We did get quite fortunate today with forgeables. We also got lots of spring onions as well. We got so much forgeables. We actually almost got our energy right back up to the top. We are going to use all of this energy and cut down as many trees as possible. Today we will attempt to get our forging skill all the way to level two. Now sometimes we can also push mining to level one, but the Riverlands farm is quite a small farm. There isn’t a whole lot of resources like that of the standard farm. Now at this moment of time, we literally had one piece of energy left. We also needed one more little XP of foraging to get that level two, and we just done that before we head off to bed for a good day’s work done. Now, we made a small bit of money today because we sold a lot of sap. We sold a lot of fiber. And the reason why I sell all these things is because it makes getting the fiberglass rod a little bit easier because trying to get 1,800 gold on day number two sometimes can be a little bit challenging. Now, day number two is where this challenge is going to take a turn for the better because we get access to the fishing rod and now we can start pulling up some fishies. Now, we’re not using the fish smoker right now. What’s holding us back is coal. Coal is something that you don’t get in huge abundance until you get into the mines on day number five. Now, we could get lucky and we could get coal from fishing treasure chests. We could also buy some of Clint, but it is very expensive. So, I do not recommend you do that. For the foreseeable future though, we are going to do a lot of fishing. I want to see how fast I can max out my fishing skill. Now, I just purchased a fiberglass rod off Witty. We’re going to go straight up to the lake here, and we’re going to spend the rest of the day pulling up huge amounts of lovely fishies. Now, we’re not going to sell any of the fish today. We are going to wait until we get fishing level five, and then we are going to sell all of these lovely fishies, and we’re going to make a huge amount, huge amounts of gold. If you’re wondering what mods I am using, just check the description of the video. Lots of people have asked me what the mod is called for the numbers floating up over my character’s head every time I get XP. This is known as the UI Info Suite 2. You can’t really get it on Nexus Mods, but just check the link in the description and you can get it there. And the only reason I’m specifying this mod is because it’s asked so much in the comment section. Now, we put up a huge amount of fish today. We put up so much fish that we managed to get fishing level four on day number two. Now that it was a really good progress. The next day it’s raining. It’s now time to make use of the Riverlands farm because the Riverlands farm has very special water compared to other farms. You can actually pull up loads of fish at Riverland’s farm, including catfish. If you get a rainy day, so that’s the big perk about this farm. You don’t have to go far to get lots of fishies. We even got bubbles on the river farm today as well. Now, unfortunately, these bubbles, they didn’t last a long time, but not to worry. Today was still a really good day for putting up fish. Any catfish that we do get, we’re not going to sell them raw. We’re going to smoke them up and then we’re going to sell them. So, if I manage to get, we’ll say, 10 catfish today or 15. We’re not going to sell any of them. They will remain in a chest until we have the code requirement met where we can smoke up each and every one of those because you’re doubling the price. And it’s so worth it when it comes to catfish, especially gold star catfish. That’s where the huge money is. And every time we get a few skill ups in fishing, the smoked goods are going to exponentially increase in value. So when we get fishing level five, for example, fish will be worth 25% more. We’re going to stack that perk right now. We also got fishing level six. We can make the bait maker. The only thing that’s stopping us from making that bait maker. Two things actually. Number one, we need iron ores. We need to get into the mines and make some progress. Number two, we need coal and sea urchants. So, we need to fix up the bridge down in the beach area to get those resources. Now, I managed to get some coal today from fishing treasure chests. So, every so often, we’re going to smoke up some catfish to make even more money. Now, we are going to sell a huge amount of fish today. And the numbers that we’re going to get for all of these fishies, it’s going to be astronomical. What we’re also aiming for is a very early desert. So, I want to get into the desert at least before day number 10 just to get access to all of the lovely resources. Now, we’re not going to be going to the skull caverns on day number 10, but if we can just unlock the desert, that will be very good in my book. So, at the end of today, we got fishing level seven, which is really nice. We made over 21,000 gold today, which is absolutely amazing. Now, that’s a couple of days of saving up fish, but let’s take a look at the breakdown. Smoked silver star catfish, 625 gold. The large basses are actually worth smoking up as well, but we just didn’t have a whole lot of coal to go around. The smoked gold star catfish, 750 gold. That is equivalent to a diamond, which is just so overpowered. And that is why the Riverlands farm is such a great farm when it comes to making huge amounts of money in the early game. I also sold some diamond, gold ores, and emeralds as well that I got from fishing treasure chests. The next day, we’re going to pull up a couple of crops. Now, you’re not going to see a huge amount of crops on the Riverlands farm. Primarily, I want this to be a fishing challenge. So, most of the things we’re going to send in this challenge are going to be fish. I just want to see how much money you can actually make in the year if you just sold fish. And Riverland’s farm is the best farm for that. You’re going to see some insane fishing tactics in this challenge. This is just the beginner fishing tactics. Wait until we get the bait maker. You’re going to see some serious money. Wait until we get the aridium rod and the enchanted. We can access the entirety of the game. Potentially, you can make almost a million gold per day by using endgame fishing tactics. That’s what this challenge is all about. Demetrius paid us a visit the next day. Now, we have a choice here, the mushrooms or the bats. Because we’re going to go to Georgia out in this challenge, we’re going to take the mushrooms. Now, day number six was an absolutely magnificent day for fish. We got bubbles just up here in the middle of the bridge. And we managed to get a ton of fish from these bubbles. Once the bubbles went away, we spent the rest of the day putting up lots of bullheads, carps, largemouth bass. We also got another level up as well. We’re now on level 9 fishing, which is absolutely amazing. And it’s only on day six. The reason for this is because we’ve gotten so much bubbles. Willy was closed today, which was a huge blow to my plans. If he wasn’t, chances are we could have got into the desert on day number seven. We could have unlocked the desert within the first week of this challenge. But not to worry, we’re not in a huge rush to get to the desert. I was just curious in terms of, you know, how fast we could get there using the power of the Riverlands farm. We also got our first book of power, the jewels of the sea. This is going to be an absolutely amazing item, especially for the challenge we’re doing because that book will give us a chance to get fishing row out of a fishing treasure chest, and the row will always be equal to the fish you pull up. We got insanely lucky the next day. We picked up a Neptune’s Glaive along with a diamond. We can sell the diamond for 750 gold. The Neptune’s Glaive would be used as our primary weapon when it comes to making progression in the mines. Even though this is a fishing challenge, it we still need to make progression in the mines to get our hands on lots of resources that we can use to make lots of different fishing equipment. Just so you know, a lot of day resets were done on each day because I wanted to maximize perfect catches to see potentially how fast I could max out fishing. So, a lot of this is also training for the next time I attempt to do a video where I want to max out all my skills in spring or if I want to try to make a million gold in spring. So, this is just training for that as well. So, I’m just trying out different tactics. So, we got level 10 fishing today and we’re going to take fish worth 50% more. The next day, we’ve got 52,000 gold. We’re going to go ahead and get the aridium rod along with a trap bobber. Because it’s raining today as well, we’re going to go and we are going to fight the legend. But first, we have to get the Georgia membership. Georgia membership is 5,000 gold, but it comes with a lot of perks. For example, anytime we buy craps now in the Georgia Mart, they’re the same price as Pierre’s craps. And the Georgia Mart is also open on a Wednesday. So, if we do decide to go down the route of perhaps in the future, we don’t have to worry about what day it is. We’re just taking on the legend here. This was quite the battle. This went on for so long, I had to speed time up by 500%. Just so you know how long this went on for. It just went up and down, up and down, but eventually we got there. And despite the struggle, we managed to get a gold star legend, which was nice. Now, it doesn’t really matter what star the legend is because it’s going to go into a fish pond. And the legend row is going to get us huge amounts of money every couple of days. Because we have fishing maxed out now, because we got the legend, it’s time to take a break from fishing. And it’s time to go into the mines and make some progression. I want to get lots of copper ores so I can make lots of furnaces and also cherry bombs. It would be nice to get down into the mid tier as quickly as possible to get iron ores so we can go and try to make the bait maker. But we also need to grab a sea urchent from the tight pool area as well. So, there’s still a few things we need for the bay maker. At this moment in time, I’m thinking about doing the desert festival on the three days that it’s active and accumulating as much Calico eggs as possible. But, if we’re going to be successful with that, we need to have some decent mining skills and combat skills, especially mining level six. And the reason why I feel that it’s a minimum requirement is that when you get mining level six, you can make the regular bombs. And it’s very easy to make regular bombs in the skull caverns. At the end of today, we got level one combat and mining. Now, we’re going to visit Boris the next day, and we’re going to get the bus unlocked for 40,000 gold. And this is the great thing about going to Georgia route. You’re not bottlenecked by the many items Starja Valley has to offer. All you need is money, and we have the best farm type for that. Now, because we had the Neptune’s Glaive, killing monsters was very simple. So, we were able to make very quick progression. We’re now down into the mid tier floors of the mines, which is great. We can now start farming up iron ores. Now, we also have to think about our pickaxe and if we want to get that upgraded before the desert festival. So, we’re at a bit of an impass here because if we chain upgrade this pickaxe to a iron pickaxe, we won’t be able to go back to the mines while Clint is upgrading those tools and get skill ups in mining and combat. So, we’re going to be going to the skull caverns with very low mining skills and very low combat skills. But even if we did a fairly decent first day in the event, that might be enough to get the skill ups we need for the next 2 days. So, I’m still quite hopeful in terms of progression. Also, we don’t need the skull key to get into the skull caverns during the desert festival. What’s more, we have an extra perk on our side. If we don’t pick up the skull key, the enemies do not get buffed. They don’t get a health increase. They don’t get attack power increase. the enemies would be much easier to fight. The Neptune’s Glaive, believe it or not, should be able to hold its own against the non-buffed enemies inside the Skull Cavern. It has some decent enchants on it, including a plus three to attack, which is absolutely huge. If we’re really struggling, we can always make some root platters, giving us additional bonuses to our attack power. We also have the chef at the desert festival as well, and we can always get him to make us a dish that can further increase our attack power. And for a secondary buff, we could choose between luck and speed. So, we have tons of options available to us. Now, today I decided to cut on lots of trees because I needed 300 pieces of wood to fix the bridge to get into tidepool area. So, we’re going to do that today. So, once this bridge is fixed, fingers crossed, we can get the materials we need to make the bait maker. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any sea urchins here. We just got the coral. But not to worry, we can check the beach every single day until we get those requirements met. We are going to go to Clint today and we are going to upgrade our pickaxe to a copper pickaxe. Once Clint has that finished with, we’ll upgrade straight away to an iron pickaxe. For the rest of the day, we are going to put up enormous amounts of fish. We still need money for other upgrades. It would be nice to grab some backpack upgrades in the next few days as well. I would like to go into the skull cavern with all of the backpack upgrades if possible. So, we’re going to finish up the challenge here. This is day number 10. Just wait a couple more days and I will have another 10 days ready to go for you. So, I just want to thank everyone for watching my Stargate videos. I do really appreciate you. Huge shout out to all of my channel members. Thank you so much for your support. I’m going to see you all very soon in the next body challenge. So, for now, have a great week and I hope you all stay very cozy. See you in the next one, everyone.

Thanks for all the rocking posts you've been cranking out.
yay! firstttt @51secccs
No views with 1 comment, thats youtube for you! Excited for a new series
maxing out fishing on day 7 is CRAZY
loving this content at the moment
I like your new thumbnail art!
I could listen to you talk about stardew all day
ty for all the uploads <3
Looking forward to the Riverlands Run. I just might have to open a farm there. I rarely use up my tillable space on meadowlands. And the landscaping makes it easier, for me, to decorate.
Edit: I also love fishing. Those first rainy days in spring one are some epic battles with Señor Gato
Using Ai generated art in your thumbnails is very disappointing to see. I really like your videos but this is a huge turn-off
I just did a 1.6 run on the Riverland farm, and it makes the early game SO much easier. It gets harder mid to late game with less farmland, though
I don't have the skill to catch catfishes those early XD
What mod gives the exp bars and values?
I need more laid back challenge videos like this in my life.
Did he just put Legend in the smoker? 😨
Fun video thanks
HELL YEAHHH LETS PLAY
UI info suite 2 IS available back on Nexus now actually! Fully updated, that's where I downloaded it from last.
Enjoy the amounts of videos latey hope some day you can full youtube you deserv it
2:57 ?????????????????? Uhhhh … yes you can???? Takes litterally less than 20 sec to check for urself … what kinda wild missinformation is that just to make ppl download ur virus buddy?
riverlands is my favorite farm. its the only one that actually changes how you play the game and there's not enough space to just cropmax
I love the Riverlands. I started 1 on 1.5 that was meant to be my crabpot palace that I named "Periwinkle Park" and another 1 I started on on 1.6 I called "Penny Lane" with intention of marrying Penny for her pirate bedroom.
Another great video from my comfort youtuber! Thank you so much! 🎉❤
