I played 200 days of Stardew Valley EXPANDED as a THIEF – Full 2nd Year
i played 200 days of Stardw Valley expanded as a thief though really is more than that because today you’ll see my full second year ember and the Crows provide a no shortage of shenanigans in the first year which if you missed that video check it out first it really sets the scene and there were some truly unmissable moments back then but this year Ember has some new tricks up her sleeve which I’ll get into shortly at the end of last year I said I wanted to see how close to perfection we’ll get i think I was even hoping to achieve perfection in year two it didn’t take me long into the year to realize how unrealistic of a goal that was so I paired things back a little and here’s what I’m aiming for now i want to claim all the masteries remember we don’t even have level 10 in all the skills yet i want to achieve a level 10 binning it’s not needed for masteries but I want to get into some higher level trash cans i want to get married not going to tell you to who yet i want to build an obelisk any obelisk will do and finally I want to get a key to the town so I don’t have to worry about my lockpicks breaking on me these might not sound like a whole lot but with the rules of this run limiting what I can get my hands on and the gifts I can give out this year was certainly a challenge now for these new tricks I mentioned I got recommended a certain mod on the first thief run and it’s called the scary mod except it has a thieving version of it skill line instead ember can now pickpocket the townies directly i’ll explain how all of this works as we dive into the year and as always all the mods I use will be linked in the description hit that like button if you’re as excited as I am and now let’s get into it [Music] happy new year on day 113 I woke up to a queue of visitors at my door the first was Kent here to introduce himself then Evelyn to give me a free garden pot and its recipe and finally there’s Scarlet who’s now friendable now that we’ve got eight hearts with Sophia and to finish the community center opening my mail I found a notice of inflation that we’re obviously not affected by but what will hurt is the tax bill that’s due tomorrow i need to pay 51 grand and I only have 28 though in addition to the new season rush of planting crops I also need to make a lot of money it certainly helps that I’ve hoarded a variety of items for a moment like this partway through 10 of my fields I remembered I needed to change some settings for the scaring mod if you remove the spooky it turns it into thieving instead which obviously is what Ember is all about i didn’t adjust any of the XP values and this won’t take effect till I remember to restart my game which admittedly did take me a couple of days to do you’ll see soon how the pickpocketing actually works for the crops I had some seeds that I prepared last year but it barely covered my sprinklers so I boosted it with some extra crops turned into seeds and of course I’ll need to pill for some in town on my way out of the farm for the day I saw Emily in town giving Sandy a bit of a tour sandy plucked up the courage to ask me to show her around the farm i’ve had enough visitors today though and I have places to be so I brushed her off much to her disappointment then found Louis at this little fence bit just beyond the library louis offered me this abandoned garden who am I to say no to some free land it would usually be full of debris that I’d need to clear but the crows had done it for me full disclosure I forget about this little patch for the rest of the year i spotted an opportunity as I was passing Victor staring off into the side of his house with his mind absent I walked up behind him to pickpocket an egg annoyingly the default keybind is the same as the one that brings up the calendar so I just made sure to change one of them so they don’t conflict but looking at the dialogue he didn’t seem to notice the skill does seem to work to an extent without restarting the game but I will still do it on a future day yeah I was outside the store by this point no seas for me today but there were a bunch of saplings I can sell towards the tax bill i tried to pickpocket Pierre just outside but I think he caught me you come to learn that whether or not you’re caught you often don’t actually receive an item especially at lower levels and the pickpocketing does come with a cool down so you can’t just spam it on everyone you do apparently lose some friendship if you’re caught but I’m not exactly sure how much after coming home to dump more stuff into the shipping bin the resulting night’s profits totaled 33,000 gold and so for day 114 my taxes were paid in full with some cash left over ew that was close with the day planned of gifting I could sense the wizard was at the railroad whilst I was up there to bring something to Susan he needs his magic ink back from the witch hut but he didn’t have the guts to get it himself so he tasked me with a visit to Crobus so I can gain entry to the cave and get it for him marlon then waved me over at the graveyard with an offer I could not refuse he asked me to accompany himself and the wizard to some special meetings about new adventurers they’re trusting me with this it’s all going according to plan i’d be honored to join the meetings and I’ll be notified when it’s time for my first now I could get on with some gifting plus a delivery to Susan of a leak give me that prize ticket when I got into town I handed my axe to Clint for its copper upgrade if that sounds familiar it’s because I’ve done this before but when the crew stole my axe last year they pecked off all the upgrades before they dropped it elsewhere so I got to upgrade it again that prize ticket just got me a house plant i suppose I should put it in my house olivia Miy and Jod got gifts after their aerobics class whilst I was in there waiting for Pierre to vacate the counter area an amethyst delivery to Jod finished up her friendship that reminded me I should probably get started on Kent’s friendship and I should return that war momento to him for birdie’s quest and after I finished up all the gifts I kind of forgot to shoplift i traded the tomato salt with Gus as well to get the rose but I won’t be visiting Sandy tonight instead ducking into the sewer to get cropers to open the bugler in exchange for a wild horseradish it didn’t take me long to track down the dark talisman but getting into the railroad cave is a task for the back burner for now a baby dino hatched in the coupe on day 115 sticking with our drink theme names this one has to be Gatorade i then found that one of my spare ancient dolls was calling to me telling me to bring it to floor 100 of the mines and chuck it in the water i don’t know why I listened to the inanimate object but I got quite the fright from this bone serpent who chucked a big green rock at me good thing I can catch i think I’ve got a sense for where this goes but I don’t fancy dealing with that right now i got a prismatic slime to hunt i repeatedly reset floor 5 for this task finding another combat level along the way and even attempted to steal loot from the slimes speaking of stealing I did have a quick break in the evening to shoplift from Pierre where I bagged quite a few saplings then finally encountered the prismatic slime late into the night as much as that warming out it wasn’t exactly the most peaceful sleep with a lightning strike at the old Jojar but a berry harvest in the shed could refresh me a little the next morning I brought the wizard the prismatic jelly I obtained last night scoot chewed away with my payment but before leaving the tower I headed to the basement where the far away stone was drawing me to placing it on the branch it began to spin of its own accord and a portal opened up in front of me little cat briefly popped out handing me a present the Meow Mir from Terraria the damage isn’t great on it but I’ll be keeping it to fuse later with a galaxy sword just for cosmetic purposes i didn’t even care about the telling off I got from the wizard jod’s was my next stop to bring Kent a butternut squash for his birthday along with a star drop tea to get a good boost from this new face i’ve restarted my game by now for the thieving skill and testing it out on a dishwashing jod i swiped a whole king salmon this is one of the start of expanded fish if I remember correctly it’s feisty enough that I wanted to wait for the advanced rod before attempting to catch it my special order price he got me 15 bombs then I collected my upgraded ax from Clint and brought Shane a herring he requested before a failed attempt at pit pocketing from him the ass counter wasn’t much better either with just some shuntels and some speed grow alex’s pockets were a win though i stole his salmon dinner i would just gift it to him right there and then but you must know that stealing from someone effectively uses a gift attempt for the day and for the week so I can’t just immediately repair the friendship returning to the farm I crafted an aridium band to replace my glowstone ring not going to lie I don’t even remember getting the lucky ring I’m wearing but it’s there going to bed that night I add level one thieving to boost my steel chances and I guess we have more craftable rings now then on day 117 I received the Monster Mus recipe by mail and couldn’t wait to make my first bottle for whenever I may need it i browse the traveling cart for the first time this year but didn’t buy anything on my way to the Secret Woods to go back for the star drop I forgot about last year i didn’t want to give it away last fall but I didn’t actually realize till I was editing that I left it behind anyway that’s another freebie flavored fruit to our name or our stomach i found nothing in Pal’s pockets whilst I was heading to the mines she’s a pretty frequent target because I walk past her so often i just blamed my bumping into her on clumsiness as I tend to do when I get caught not my fault if something valuable ends up in my hand somehow it’s an accident right and it’s fine as keepers that’s totally how it works i wanted to use my monster mask for an afternoon of dust sprite slaying towards the theme appropriate burglaring and for today’s shoplifting break I chose Clint whilst he was off at the community center to stare at the boiler i got a decent hall of lock pickicks frozen geodess and cult and as for that monster slayer goal I stayed in the mines till midnight but didn’t quite get there today got to be a lot of progress though day 118 began with a bit of farmwood chopping before gaining my final farming level whilst petting all the animals now just a single combat level stands in front of unlocking the mastery door i visited the desert to kick off another afternoon of gifting but I forgot that Sandy now goes out on a Saturday unfortunately the note on a counter is still just as effective of an anti shoplift device so I’d only be able to steal from her and her birthday and that is until fall i could at least come away with some gold carrot seeds from the desert trader along with some wood from a few of the trees that I planted here then it was back to the valley to hop on the train to Pondwood for the first time i wanted to visit Scarlet with a gift friendships are a lot to deal with in this world so I’m allowing the train ticket purchases but I still wondered what it was that possessed me to spend a whole thousand gold just to hand out a gift and then I found these trash cans oh my god now that was worth it sandy did end up getting her gift over in the saloon along with the Stardy Valley rose which she traded for a TV remote i handed that to George when she swapped for an Arctic shard that’s surely got to be valuable to a wizard but all he gave me in return was a worm e i’ll bring that to Willie when it’s not nighttime for my level 10 farming profession I picked artisan i’m really going to need the profit boost we had a lot of veggies to harvest on day 119 i didn’t have much to replant at that moment so I headed off to the traveling cart but heard some mysterious sounds further south that felt worth investigating i found myself in a new area of the forest where Crobus was playing with the Junimo i didn’t feel like getting lost out there this morning so I turned back around i’ll check this out another time i bought an extra starfruit ready to turn into seeds then brought the marrow hot pepper for his birthday whilst heading to the abandoned Joja Mart to have a look at another Junimo related matter the missing bundle out of all of these items I only expected to see the caviar this bundle is going to be more of a pain than I hoped like the recipe for the void delight there is going to need 10 hearts with crobers and I’m pretty sure I’ve only got one battery at home i carried on up the railroad to open up the cave but the swamp inside was completely different too i wonder what the witch was laughing at as she flew overhead and well here’s a screenshot of the place i got to navigate a huge dark dangerous maze to the opposite corner i wasn’t afraid of a few new monsters though perhaps I should have been for some of them this giant ghost took out almost all of my health in an instant which landed me in Harvey’s clinic i lost a thousand golden fees and I can’t definitively say that it wasn’t him that stole a few bits of monster loot from me still these losses weren’t all that bad i munched on some potatoes that I forgot to put in my shipping bin and got my revenge on Harvey by shoplifting a few sports strings from him then came back home to plant more potatoes that I shoved in the seed maker i noticed the fiber was ready that evening too got over a snack from that and grafted some of it into five more scarecrows i wanted to de crow as much of the town and island as possible this year and project crows be gone i wanted to bring those to Ginger Island the next day and brought Willie the wiggly worm as I passed him to get on the boat to grab the pirate socket from him the first couple of scarecrows today went to the jungle i’m going to need the fiber to grow here so I can get the mummified frog for the tent thought I better start working on the friendship with the kid but swiftly changed my mind for the day when he poked at my arms do you mind i see that’s not changed in this timeline my next two scarecrows went on the South Beach just in case the crows were eating the artifact spots here then I went to speak to the frog hoping that my crops had grown but the scarecrows crops and sprinklers had all been eaten in the past week i was so confused i was sure I protected this area there’s not much I can do about that right now so I scampered off to clear the dig site and slingshoted a walnut out of the volcano tree i did remember to return the pirate socket to Birdie i wasn’t up for a story full of feelings and stuff though so I took the reward walnuts and got out of there also with the newfound knowledge on how to craft fairy dust even with those I was still not even halfway to gaining entry to the walnut room i managed to squeeze a few more out of the singing stone puzzle within a couple of attempts then headed back to the valley swiping some wild bit in seaweed from Willy’s counter now that it was unattended before bed that night I made sure to bring Marlin on a root splatter probably the easiest of his love gifts thank you to my mod for pointing that out in the chat during the premiere of the first video i thought his gifts were all going to be terrible and whilst I was there I sold off some spare weapons and rings i harvested the year’s first strawberries on day 121 some of which went into even more seeds likely to be planted in the shed we’ll find out if I’m right on a future day because this good luck day I was itching for a skull caven’s front i was excited for the day’s loot potential with the plus seven luck from the age blue moon wine which I forgot to drink till floor 5 i should probably eat some spicy eel as well thanks to my tumble down this deep jump hole it wasn’t long after that that I came across my first treasure floor what’s inside for our first of the year some cherry bombs useful but not exciting some cranberry sauce a couple of hours later was absolutely worse but hey that’s enough of a loot spoiler i made my way down the floors practicing my pit pocketing on the monsters there and found Mr key waiting for me on floor 100 that evening i was a little worried seeing him down here with the snakes again but he seemed to say pretty much the same thing as the last encounter down here almost word for word i’m convinced he’s just left a bot or a clone of himself here because it was very ironic him telling me I have principles i mean I do just not ones that everyone agrees with it was time for my snake milk drinking challenge already knowing what I was in for I downed it at an inhuman speed just as disgusting but worth it for the health boost i still have plenty of time for further spelunking but instead of allowing myself to pass out down here I wanted to get in the day shoplift so I exited from floor 139 let’s have a look at the end of day loot review i mean we did get almost 200 Aridium and a couple of prisies but nothing unique really i did throw out a cowboy hat but for a great luck day with a power of age blooming wine I was kind of disappointed really i rushed over to break into Man’s hoping for an auto grabber that the Caverns didn’t grant me but no just a handful of hay again on day 122 I crafted a few more cheese presses i had Olivia special order which needs a bunch of cheese and wine which I haven’t been making much of up till now better get some more kegs going too the wine will take the longest i wanted to start that processing before tending to the day shed garden harvest this is in fact where the strawberry seeds are going now that the spots were freed up from the quality crops panic from last winter i asked Clint to get my axe back up to steel level for me then I brought Vincent some grapes for his birthday to win some friendship still not enough for 10 hearts though i passed the afternoon making ancient seeds and sorting out the various other machines on the farm until Robin knocked off work i was a few seconds too early though so I pretended I was there to take notes on the craftsmanship of her preserves jars the steals were not worth that near miss though just some acorns and a single piece of clay still it was a convenient location to steal from on my way for an evening in the mines i still had almost 150 dust sprites to slay for the burglar though it’s safe to say I was never going to get them all tonight on day 123 I harvested some carrots and turned a few back into seeds just to replant something scarlet was working on Fair Haven Farm today so I was feeling a forest walk to bring her a gift i couldn’t help having a nose at what the wizard was up to just outside his tower he was just using some magical pesticide on his ancient fruit nothing too crazy though i continued wandering through the tree lacking forest seeking out any trash cans for the chance of loot and binning XP then I made it to Scarlet just before lunchtime with some Grumpleton orange chicken to refuel her nothing for Andy today i got all my geod and mystery boxes open now that Clint has learned to multitask excited to flick through a copy of the book of mysteries so I can find even more of those boxes i had to sell off some of the minerals to make room for some of the rest of the box loot but I was careful not to sell anything that needed donating i still didn’t get any useful museum rewards this time either then it was over to Ginger Island to add another scarecrow to the farm area and replant the three frog crops i wasn’t going to leave the island without clearing out the dig site where I found a few golden coconuts I was hoping for and after disembarking from the boat I grabbed a few treasure bobbers left in the shop which will mostly just be sold that night I realized I’ve been sleeping on the craftable trash cans and recycling bins from the bidding skill mod not just for the extra freebies but for the bidding XP they give and to make them even easier for me to claim each day I placed all of them at the bus stop where I’m more likely to pass them my steel axe was ready for collection on day 124 except it wasn’t because Clint is out of the shop for the day i stole from him for the inconvenience he caused some frozen jews and aridium not bad from the traveling cart today I bought a bottle of wine so I have one less to make for Olivia special order and just before my return to the farm I doubled back noticing the giant tree had been knocked down in a windstorm i don’t know what happened to the rest of the tree the crows probably ate all of that fallen wood but it gave me the idea to fix up the stump into a little house it’s going to take about 100 hardwood and I don’t have close to enough yet i’ll handle that later prioritizing another trip to Ginger Island to bring Leo a gift and add some deluxe speedrow to the melon that I forgot to bring yesterday i got the boat back and made a brief visit to the saloon definitely regret not loading up on gifts whilst it’s busy like this on a Friday night but I was mainly here to hand Emily an apricot she wrote to me about then I left just to get caught digging in a hidden trash can by Demetrius thank you so much to this comment by the way letting me know that Stardew Expanded adds extra hidden trash cans i’d never have known i’ll show you some more of them in time as well but you’ll have to let me know if I missed any by the end of the video i’m sure I will have most of the outdoor crops were ready for harvest on day 125 i’d previously been saving my mixes for fiber but I decided to just go ahead and plant some of them in the freed up space i needed the crops more than the fiber at the moment the egg festival had rolled around again and being just as quick as last year I secured an easy win having hunted down 10 eggs i wasn’t going to let anyone else take their prize ticket and since it’s a festival day the shopkeepers are all just staring at the walls so I just stole a vegan comb from the ice cream stand before bed my first rhubarb was ready on day 126 definitely putting these into the seed maker to replant i need more than two for shipping cooking and spares the traveling cart had an oil of garlic today i bought it it gave me an idea i had to give Haiti a birthday gift and collect my steel axe before executing said idea which was to take place up at the railroad i was hoping the garlic he sent might repel the scary swamp monsters but it did no such thing well I suppose it did feel a little less busy and I did make it all the way to the end this time thank goodness I remembered to bring some void mayo to bribe our goblin friend into moving out of my way i retrieve that magic ink and used the warp room in the witch hut to make a quick escape to the wizard’s basement returning that to him I can now build the obelisks and the golden clock i’m a long way off any of that right now though now that I was reunited with my axe I chopped down the hardwood trees on the farm as well as a few normal trees which can also drop some hardwood that gave me enough to build the stump house in Cindisap maybe now someone will move in i rushed through the shed harvest the following morning so I could get an early start to the first day of the desert festival i first traded for some more spicy eel for the cabins and asked for my free cactus if it’s free I’ll take it what’s that supposed to mean then when Emily arrived at her cardboard box I asked her for a new outfit you might notice I wasn’t wearing my usual clothes and that’s because I removed them so I could save the inventory space when I get a new one what’s Emily seeing in me today oh my god Emily why a Jojo uniform and what’s that supposed to mean i’m so offended i ate my feelings in the form of a sour salad i was feeling very sour indeed then salvaged my first few calico eggs from the trash on my way to the scholar he hit me with some really easy questions so I had no trouble walking away with a 50 calico egg prize but I want more and Skull Caverns is where I’ll be finding them something fell off though probably something to do with his awful Joa hat that went in the bin things went a little bit better after I freed my noggin from the Jojo and Blazen monstrosity i got a better pair of boots from a serpent who doesn’t have any feet and found some jump holes to help me on my quest to pass floor 30 for the adventurers guild challenge that’s another 50 calico eggs in the bag i carried on through the caves to accumulate even more of the eggs whilst improving my egg rating i’m obviously looking for loot as well but I didn’t pass out down here i left from floor 101 at 11 p.m so I still had a bit of time for the other festival activities like turning in my egg rating to Gil for another 200 eggs and I got Gil’s hat i suppose now might be a good time for our end of day loot review we were in there a good 12 in-game hours and scored a couple of hundred calico eggs down there you saw the boots I swapped out earlier but aside from the aridium I didn’t really get that much ore nothing to write home about this time i wanted to show you that loot review first because I had to make room in my backpack for some purchases and trades like the super meal from the traveling cart from the missing bundle and a top up of desert totems we got level 10 combat overnight my profession will be brute for the extra damage that means we can now access the mastery cave but I’ll check that out another day it’s not like it matters till I get enough XP for my first reward anyway I had to go back to the desert i broke my fast with another sour salad for the luck and defense buffs and pick the high reward adventure guild challenge which was to find 12 omni geodess i wanted to try for an even higher egg rating today though I got started in the cabins much earlier things were feeling better for this droified run even if I was lacking on bombs though that being said I didn’t get my 12G till floor 61 much later than I thought i got it a day after claiming the floor 100 treasure which was just some crab cakes but before turning in my egg rating let’s have a look at the end of day loot review allwise we’re no better off than yesterday like I said I was low on bombs but the main highlight of the day is the dwarf scroll in that first row that’s the last dwarf scroll I need for the translation guide i don’t know how I had the whole language wiped from my memory i informed Gill of my new and improved egg rating of 35 and got another 200 eggs but no new rewards it’s not even 9:00 p.m so I could have pushed for higher but I wanted to catch the townies at their stores today which were held by Sebastian and Evelyn i could not resist the cookie wallpaper from Evelyn oh and I did look for Sandy store for an opportunity to shoplift but the building has temporary vanished from existence for today’s free outfit I got dressed as a gnome much better this one’s kind of cute i traded some more Calico eggs for some mystery boxes and before leaving the festival for the day I yed a whole void deal from Demetrius without him noticing that’s a huge win it’s an ingredient for the void delight requested by the missing bundle leaving skull cabins early meant I also had time to shoplift from Pierre today and I grabbed my new weekly special order once again for the wizard to hunt for ghosts for their ectoplasm on day 129 Clint caught me digging in the trash that’s none of his darn business so I tried to pickpocket him a revenge but he wasn’t carrying anything i got that last scroll donated so I could remind myself of the dwarfish language then went to introduce myself to my new friend i can’t buy most of what’s for sale here nor can I shoplift since they don’t ever leave but I do still need to buy the crafting recipes and the rare crow are come back for another day i w straight to the desert from there for the final day of the festival i stole a regular old egg from Victor here was he hoping to pass these as calico eggs to spend at the festival i kept this one i need it for shipping then with Emily having set up a store for the day I turned to Sandy for the day’s free outfit i had no words this was adorable and adorable is a look I could do within my foreverlasting efforts to appear innocent i traded some of my catico eggs with Emily for the prismatic shard and grabbed the mystery boxes from the other egg trader ahead of my last skull caverns dive for this year’s festival don’t worry there’ll still be more later in the year i kind of forgot to get my sour salad before heading in though so we will see how this goes i just had to reach floor 30 which took me till the evening with my limited resources i was well aware that I wouldn’t be beating yesterday’s egg rating and nephron floor 58 with just 19 today but I did still get 50 calico eggs for my efforts shall we take a look at the loot not too much to review here sure there’s a prismatic shard in my backpack but that’s just the one we traded from Emily the rusty spoon might seem like an odd choice to keep but I actually still need to donate it to the museum you can tell by the quantity of gems and ores that we were really low on bombs and I was trying to avoid using my staircases unless totally necessary considering we’ve been cabining for three days in a row i think this was to be expected i had enough calico eggs to spend on a magic rock candy and with the remaining 39 I spent as much as I could on a bit more coal and ore from Clint and I mean a bit we shoplifted more from him in a single day before i’m sure speaking of shoplifting I squeezed in a breakin to Pierre and got five bouquets that’s now sorted for when I’m ready to date someone any guesses who yet having practiced my pick pocketing on a lot of the townies and monsters I reached level two thieving so now I can cook strawberries brilliant to look at I mean I don’t think I ever ended up trying one on day 130 I set up a few more sprinklers in the shed garden ready for more ancient fruit and headed out to have a look at the newly opened mastery cave all the mining and combat we’ve been involved with at the desert meant we were already close to earning our first mastery level scarlet was conveniently nearby for a gift of wild honey then I got a few more farm chores done which including tidying up the messy coupe incubating another dino egg adding a few more tappers to the tree farm and getting the ground floor of grandpa’s shed protected from crows i’m planning to fill it with eggs i tried to shoplift from Manne again that evening still after an auto grabber to handle that coupe but no just found even more eggs which I’ll absolutely be turning into mayo on day 131 I got more potatoes planted for the farming XP before purchasing another rare seed from the traveling cart for fall i filled out the sprinklers some more with some carrots I turned back into seeds then I was off to hand out the next round of gifts at the museum i had a gift for the museum itself but almost forgot to donate it when I came back in I found Gunther looking flabbergasted at how Penny and the kids left the place ransacked gunther seemed like an important figure in town so I thought I’d better help him clean the place up plus Susan’s in the corner there and would overhear everything all of that was just so I could donate a rusty spoon i wanted to visit Susan after that who must have sprinted to get home this fast from the library she was already deep into struggling with her next DIY project now is my time to shine i could put together a silly little dresser easy job susan was so impressed with my display of pure skill that she wanted to share some of her own secret crafting knowledge with me so now cast kegs and preserve jars will be cheaper to craft i’m so glad I haven’t already made hundreds of machines by now so I can take full advantage of these new shortcuts i took a train to Pondwood from there to bring Scarlet some more honey and to raid her trash cans for some giftable meals then coming back through Pelican Town I stole the next lot of fish from the community center pickpocketed nothing at all from Clint and once that cool down wore off I somehow stole Louis’s shorts i really hope these were a spare pair he was carrying i still have full friendship with him so I don’t think he really noticed that’s enough peopleing for today i douse myself in monster mask to make sure they stay away and hunted dust sprites for the evening completing that monster stay goal at midnight give me that burglar ring right now it’s going in place of the lucky ring till I get around to merging them whilst harvesting the garden shed the next morning I reached a new level of understanding my first mastery level before making haste to the cave I stopped by the wizard’s place to drop off the ectoplasm I obtained while smashing dust sprites yesterday then as promised my first mastery had to be the fishing one so I could finally use a rod with bait and bobbers this is going to help for the more challenging fish not that I’m using it today i gave Shane a pizza for his birthday that was probably better than whatever he had in the microwave then coming outside I was checking their trash cans when I tripped and stumbled into Man’s shed she was in the middle of checking her cheese this ended up being a happy accident because she taught me how to make cheese wheels what does this mean for us exactly more profit my impromptu cheesemaking lesson delayed my trip to Ginger Island i wanted to add more scarecrows to the farm area and it was a good thing I showed up today the weeds were creeping closer and closer to my precious three froggy crops i added a couple of scarecrows to the gem bird area i did forget to bring the gems but I got the emerald from a bird near the island farm which I didn’t want stolen before I can come back and sort the rest my next job was a volcano adventure i really need more golden walnuts ASAP it took me until dinner time to reach the halfway point and now that I’m refamiliarized with the dwarfish language I could buy the island warp totem and ginger ale recipes only gathered a few more walnuts by the time I reached the ninth floor that night and in the treasure chest there was another golden walnut and a phoenix ring which I’ll probably just sell to the adventurers guild i eventually reached the summit when this redhead fell materialized in front of me at the forge to congratulate me he gave me a rundown on how the forge works which I was already familiar with from the pre-time traveled days once he finally left me alone I claimed my prize prisy and merged my lucky ring with the burglar ring a loot goblin favorite but annoyingly I left the volcano just one walnut short of being able to rebuild the beach resort so I’ve been carrying around those flute locks all day with me for no reason at all lewis was on my doorstep on day 133 in spite of the drury weather to inform me that there will be a community day at the community center every 22nd of the month from now on why didn’t he just mail me as usual anyway the wizard was right behind him with some way more interesting news he’s been tasked with teaching me warp magic i need to get to his tower for my lesson i had to tend to the farm first of course and I couldn’t help browsing the traveling cart on my way down there i bought the goat cheese wheel and a bottle of wine towards Olivia’s special order which I’ve been slowly chipping away at as well as a spare truffle because at this point I might not even bother getting a pig it no longer shocked me that the wizard got me to drink some undisclosed concoction this one was quite a bit more intense but I was then ready for my training a quick demonstration and a little explanation were plenty for me to be able to give it a go nailed it first time and exceeded his expectations i’ll have a nexus of my own in the backwards which is where I met him next right now my Nexus just has a big tree but over time it will become a hub to teleport to various important locations some near some far it was already looking more pretty and magical after channeling my mana there and using a wizard potion I created my first warp rune which will bring me to the wizard’s basement you’ll see how this fills out over time that landed me in my next stop for today’s plans which was to try fishing for the legend i wasn’t sure if there was going to be any more rainy days this season so I really needed to get going on this now that I have my far improved rod it only took a couple of hours to show up and between the lobster bisque and trap bobbers it was much less of a fight than I was expecting and it came with some treasure even if it was kind of useless i passed by the enchanted grove again to check it out alone and a few do drop berries have spawned these give some amazing all day buffs so I’ll be saving them for when the time is right i used the warp to the wizard’s basement to get back to the witch’s hut without needing to navigate the big danger maze so I could fish for the void deal and the void summon i did have to enter the rest of the swamp for a couple of other fish and noticed the henchman staring at his house i didn’t mean to startle him and I kind of forgot I needed to pay him a visit he’d recently written me a letter of complaint that my void mayor had lost him his job that’s not my fault but I’ll help a goblin in need he wanted to give the witch an offering to beg for his job back and this was a tall order dozens of mushrooms and 50 swamp flowers some of this I can only find in this neck of the swamp which crushed my hopes of wanting to forget this place even exists for now I focused on the fishing catching a swamp crab whilst being harassed by the local wildlife and then I caught the other unique water dweller here the alligator which also brought me a pearl i guess I might as well grab some swamp flowers whilst I’m already out here and after dropping all the fish and forage home I had space to shoplift from PS for some rice and fruit saplings level eight binning was a lovely surprise overnight slightly better chances of some fun items and we have a new cooking recipe with a plus three bidding buff got startled by Lance on my doorstep on day 134 he made some flattering comments about the farm and left me with his schedule nice and direct now I know where to find him to earn his trust and friendship on each given day i was back on the island for this next rainfall first to clear the new week’s weeds ready for the frog to inspect all of my crops he was happy with all three of them and handed over 15 walnuts for my efforts so now I could restore the beach resort this bar is another shopliftable location which you can’t get banned from and today I could grab a beer and a cranberry candy i had more than enough walnuts left over to free this island trader then having remembered to bring more gems with me I hunted for today’s gem bird an aquamarine one in the north that gave myself an easier time brute forcing my way through the remainder of this puzzle for another few walnuts i had some more to collect in the newly opened southeast beach from the water the ground and the mermaid and now that the gem bird puzzle was dealt with I can move those two scarecrows into my island house just got to remember to bring another bed at some point willie was in his shop when I took the boat back it’s time to bite the bullet and reby the copper pan there’s not very much I can do about this i need to pan up a fossil at the dig site on a future day on day 135 I brought Andy yesterday’s beer for his birthday perfect timing for me to also hand a gift to Scarlet while she’s working on his farm on my trash rounds through town I found another hidden one behind Clint’s shop and as I passed by Olivia’s cellar to drop off her wine and cheese I found her down there having a glass of wine from her collection and listening to some guitar music turns out her family is from there and some of them are stuck there with the war without a way to let her know that they’re okay she shared some ring fruit wine with me and I’m not really a wine person but something told me I really should just force down a glass plus it’s rare and expensive so who am I to say no here’s where she revealed that she’s friends with Suki the traveling merchant interesting olivia’s friends with a smuggler and bragging about the rare wear she’s bought from her maybe there’s more to her than I thought i knocked back the whole glass of wine and left it on the shelf so I could drop off the good she was after i thought I could get away with using the nondescript wine but it turns out I need to have made it myself so I only had 12 of the 20 bottles I needed another batch of homemade wine would take far too long on its own but thanks to the power of fairy dust I could get the rest of the bottles ready in minutes i moved all but one of the kegs into Grandpa shed the one left over is to let me know when the rest of the wine is ready without me having to walk in there and after adding the remaining wine to Olivia cellar I became 80 grand richer that was more than worth it and I got another prize ticket which I claimed were the other two I’ve been neglecting at home for some mystery boxes replacement fairy dust and artifact troves i was a bit too late to get Clint to open those things so I nicked a couple of copper from him instead i woke up to 50 cans of Jojacola spilling out of my mailbox from Andy on day 136 i drink these pretty regularly for the little speed boost and I think my main supply from last year was eaten by the crows but I was pretty chuffed for the gift i chopped down the backwood trees and refilled the various machines on the farm whilst waiting for the flower dance to begin do I particularly enjoy this festival no but I had to win some more friendship points and ask Victor to dance with me to give our friendship an extra boost clearly my sticking out of the crowd is because I’m doing some sort of mouse dance whilst everyone is doing the flower dance there were still a few hours left after dark for me to dig through everyone’s trash cans as well as pick up my free festival day ice creams from the stand but coming home via the bus stop I was shocked to see a super meal already in one of the recycle bins i didn’t need to buy one from the traveling merchant after all on day 137 I harvested my crops in the rain before filling my backpack with gifts i dumped them all in a chest for later because I wanted to get my geodess and stuff opened first and on my way out I couldn’t help framing Pam using her unattended bus stop sign again i got quite a lot of museum donations done in that sesh which earned me a magic rock candy and I took the farm totems too whilst dropping the rest of the stuff home I set up a couple of scarecrows in my still empty greenhouse to guard the first two fruit saplings in there one of which was a banana I just got from a golden coconut i was then ready for my rest of day gift spree starting with some gifts for myself from the trash cans in Pondwood where I was visiting to drop off another jar of honey to Scarlet of all the gifts I handed out today it was Penny’s friendship that I finished and then I found another hidden trash can behind Elliot shack glad he couldn’t hear me because he didn’t mention it when I went inside to hand him his gift when I got to Crobas I bought the few recipes they had still got a few hearts to go before they’ll offer the void delight for the missing bundle but what I could get my hands on today was the star drop ironic that they taste like freebies when this one cost 20 grand having already met the raccoon and helped him out I found he had a wife to feed on day 138 i wasn’t going to remember the specific goods they both craved so I used the deluxe journal to make a list for myself with the smart ad option they’ll automatically complete when I’ve made the correct item i bought a seafoam pudding from the traveling cart to prep for future challenging fish which I won’t be doing today i got more gifts to get through and it looks like Pierre’s benefiting from Olivia’s elegant reception on his birthday i’m not much of a wine person i was just there so people will associate my face with quality goods especially the governor but I wasn’t going to answer this question nothing on those tables were Pierre’s favorite fried calamari but when I arrived at the store to hand over a plate he’d already buggered off to Ginger Island that stupid box on the counter prevents me shoplifting so I stole a tea leaf from his wife’s greenhouse and left i’ll wait until he’s back in town to keep myself busy till then I chopped the stumps in the secret woods and took another look at Aurora Vineyard to see if there were any new developments not today it seems i was glad to see Pierre back in the valley that evening so I could stop carrying around this fishy dish being one of the town shopkeepers this was not a birthday I could ignore and after another free hazy sunrise at the saloon with Olivia Pierre had removed the honesty box from his counter so I could finally pocket some goods stealing from him on his birthday just feels so right i apparently sense something had happened in West Cindisat the following morning at Aurora Vineyard i was going to rush straight there but opened the door to Leah wanting to give me this big chunk of wood i can’t seem to use or recycle this so uh and then I got this envelope full of cash in the mail from Pierre thanking me for being such a great customer and community contributor which truly caught me off guard oh no this absolute clown has no idea that’s so funny it was a good thing all of that slowed me down from leaving the farm because I had a whole bunch of fun stuff to harvest in the shed garden and I wanted to plant some extra shrub seeds because these salow berries are doing a lot for us also the few star fruit seeds I made i have a feeling I’m going to need these soon i could then head out to see what was new at Aurora Vineyard there’s a new bundle plaque it looks like it’s supposed to be in Junimo language but I couldn’t make out any of the words i’ll go talk to the wizard about it and as I made my way over he teleported right in front of me just outside i told him what I saw then found something in my pocket something I didn’t steal this time we went inside to analyze it but this wizard skill had met his limits he was useless here but he could contact someone who could help i’m not sure if the jump scale was really necessary but this witch had a mischief of Zora about her and that instantly earned my respect thus she could competently decipher the scroll and informed us that this childlike Junimo was requesting 200 star fruit surely with an offering like that the reward has to be super valuable right but considering I can only steal from Sandy on her birthday and I’m only growing three star fruit right now this is going to take a long time on the topic of forest magic I thought I’d try finding my way through the Junimo woods again but was surprised to find a Junimo at the entrance ready to lead the way they handed me an ancient Junimo scroll and led me to what they were hiding down there there’s a whole little Junimo village and even better that scroll was for me to create a warp rune here so now I don’t need to struggle my way through the maze i got sent back to Cinderep after that so I searched some trash cans on my way home including a third one at Man’s hidden behind her barn then up at my nexus it was adorable to see some Junimos had taken up residence there i wanted to take a gander at the Junimo village and each of the huts is its own store with some rare useful and valuable items shame I can’t buy any of these and you can’t shoplift from here either but Ember wouldn’t steal from the Junimos anyway even she has her limits the rest of my day was for handing out gifts again i made it to Haley shortly before she locked her door for the night and found her struggling to open a pickle jar yes now is the time for my next good deed i had plenty of muscle power to show off from carrying all the loot for my last stop of the night I wanted to say hi to Marlon and ask him to make a warp room near the guild the item of choice was a green rupee and together we built a makeshift bridge so I don’t have to leap over the river every time how did I thank Marlon i pickpocketed a void pebble from him that’s a missing bundle item wow on day 140 I picked the last batch of veggies for the season which were just some green beans having crafted some more dehydrators the dried blueberries were ready for the raccoons so I also added another preserves jar to make the hot pepper jelly and used some fairy dust to get it done instantly i brought the processed fruits to him and his wife and in return I got the raccoon journal so now I can find more free mix seeds i did some more trades in the desert this time for some more staircases as well as a couple more golden carrot seeds and made sure to fish up a sandfish and a scorpion cart whilst I was there I did also cut down a portion of the trees out here for crafting and the mastery XP and replanted them all once I was pretty much out of energy alex was on his way home for Ginger Island by the time I was back in the valley so I could give him a cauliflower in exchange for a prize ticket from that I just got another house plant but I was excited to see a star drop tea up for next time all that wood chopping contributed to another 19 scarecrows i hadn’t thought about exactly where I wanted them yet because I wanted to fit in a last minute shoplift from Man’s to end the season still no luck on the auto grabber all I got was hay as is the norm for the first of a new season i got some saved up seeds planted by my sprinklers but now I just filled out four of them and picked the other two up because I hadn’t previously considered that they contributed to my bills better sprinklers cost more so I downgraded the one by my carrots to a quality sprinkler i then started distributing some of my scarecrows and noticed this one tiny patch in the barn pen that wasn’t protected i counted myself lucky that my animals hadn’t got pinched again but it’s sorted now it was about time that I cleared out the coupe again and since I already dropped off some eggs to Gus’s fridge last week I picked up enough in here to complete the giant omelette special order got a bit more of the farm protected from the birds we’re up to 90 crows now by the way the population is still growing steadily and to make use of the extra spots on that quality sprinkler I turned a couple of last year’s buttonup squash into seeds i could do with the gifts for Kent i didn’t get into town until the late afternoon to collect my price ticket and pick up a new special order andy wanted help doing up his seller sounds simple enough after claiming my star drop tea from the prize machine I brought Cro a gift and browse Pierre’s counter in the hopes of finding more seeds none today but I did get some saplings to sell and some sugar for cooking later what I did get was another garbage hat from this trash can still keeping the mouse look for a while now though i didn’t wait a single night to get the crimson fish off my list then took a different route home via Cindat forest so I could place another scarecrow there i think I was planning to place a lot more out there but then I realized I should probably make sure the farm is pretty much fully covered first in some unbelievable luck the crop fairy visited that night while I would have been happier if she actually covered more of my crops and not just the sunflowers that I planted for the sake of it but on the bright side we got an extra profit boost overnight for some strawberry wine I sold amongst other things waking up the next morning I replaced the sunflowers with a few hop starters and even more sunflowers in today’s mail I got a whole mini fridge from Gus as a part of the thank you for the eggs and a notice of my tax bill we had 91,000 gold deducted overnight and I just wanted to move on from losing over half of my money so I visited Fair Haven Farm with a gift for Andy and the materials for his preserves jars i was happy to be paid for the easy task but the real score of the morning was stealing a frog egg from Vincent before I even had the combat mastery unlocked i can’t equip these yet so grabbing one of these was a shock to say the least the latest prize ticket won me a treasure chest then I was off to steal from Robin while she’d be at the exercise class but she was off at the island instead i tried her counter anyway expecting to be blocked by the box but hers wasn’t quite as secure as Pierre’s so I successfully made away with a decent amount of hardwood thought it would be good to say hi to Susan and Scarlet whilst I was up this way were they aware of the crow just hanging out on Susan there it was too busy napping to notice me but Scarlet gave it a good scare standing up to greet me while Susan popped inside to make some lemonade we had a little chat about the farming life and I think I can say both in this timeline and the past one I’ve enjoyed having some creative freedom with my farm scarlet’s been dreaming of a farm of her own one day and maybe in the future someday we might be able to help with that anyway I risked my life a wee bit foraging in the swamp and used a farm totem to escape once I had enough resources i couldn’t be bothered to find my way to the henchman’s hut though I used my nexus to make my life a little bit easier in dropping off the offerings for the witch no payment for this one obviously i guess we’ll see the outcome in time but I did manage to get some more gold off Andy that night who was requesting a frozen tier apparently to go under his pillow there was a goblin on my doorstep on day 143 he came to thank me for the forage but it wasn’t enough for him to get his job back he’s got to come up with an alternative but in the meantime I can visit him at his hut via a new land bridge from the witch’s place he’s friendable now i refreshed the pale L in the shed and harvested everything from the garden upstairs before bringing what I’d saved at home for the missing bundle now all I need is that void delight or 10 batteries i wasn’t sure which I get first i’d be trying for both but I wish I came in here more sooner there’s an Aridium trash can which will be gone when we complete the bundle andy asked me to pay him a visit but I found him out in the well I was going to say forest but it’s not really much of a forest now is it turns out he tried to steal the farm from grandpa and I before I arrived but then he told me I was doing a good job of things over there how does he know has he just been inviting himself over or something he got all sappy on me for a moment but eventually brought me to his basement as promised to show what my materials went towards now there’s a token of gratitude I can do something with and a secret strawberry jam recipe which somehow made the strawberries themselves 25% more valuable glad I’ve got some going in my shed garden now victor was after some grapes to snack on at the beach but he’ll have to go thirsty because I stole his bottle of milk and I got a replacement bunch of grapes from this nearby trash can i got some key seasoning outside the saloon which I was about to enter to bring Gus a gift when I saw that he’s off at the island resort today i rushed on over to get the tropical curry recipe i was due a visit to the island farm anyway having forgotten to clear away the new week’s weeds even if I’m not growing much over here right now i still place some scarecrows and prep for the days that I do end up filling this place out though then felt like doing some dig site digging where I found another copy of the Japanese nimble book for the extra mastery XP as well as a prehistoric scapula the museum could do with i still need to finish off the bin skill so I crafted a few more recycling machines to process all the trash I’m accumulating i regret not keeping up with these machines better because they do contribute to the binning levels and don’t worry I did remember to shoplift that night from PS for some saplings and some seeds day 144 was Jazz’s birthday an ancient doll for her collection wasn’t quite enough to finish the friendship and I wasn’t willing to spend a whole Star drop tea on her either her birthday put me in gifting mode for the day i made a lot of progress but didn’t complete any this time and having found out Abigail lost a necklace she had stolen from Caroline I rescued it from the bath house fountain to give back to her so she wouldn’t get caught of course I had to steal some goodies from her family shop in return but I felt a sense of duty to assist with her thieving ways good thing the crows hadn’t got to it first on day 145 I slightly expanded my keg and preserved our collection to process all the berries I’m growing i chopped farm trees to restock on the wood from that whilst trying to keep up with refilling my machines in between and when I checked on the coupe I found another new dino hatched so I named this one Lucas aid to go with Gatorade i managed to get even more recycling machines set up by the evening as well as placing the last habits I needed in the tree farm then for tonight’s deals I was off to PS once again for a small variety of farming goods plus an extra melon seed from his hidden trash can behind the store with the green rain on day 146 came a record amount of weeds i used the wet weather to help me get some basic sprinklers set back up out there i wanted to save the better ones for the greenhouse or ginger island but these spaces on the farm were so I could plant the mix seeds I was harvesting from tidying up all the weeds but I had also turned a load of melons I’d saved back into seeds to expand my crops even further a load of trees had suddenly risen up all over town so I chopped them down for the extra wood before the crows get to them taking full advantage of all these extra materials under the guise of voluntary town upkeep that took up most of my day but I had a quick shoplift break at PS for some rice on day 147 I took a trip to Pondwood to raid the trash cans and bring Scarlet her birthday gifts of some honey to pair well with a star drop tea those sweetened her up for a third gift of a bouquet let me know if you guessed who we were dating this time a freight train passed right after my journey back into the valley so I scooped up the magma geos that fell out and after leaving the morning’s loot at home I wanted to pop into the forest when I noticed Andy wandering off in this weather to West Indes i don’t know why but I got the feeling that I should follow him he stopped outside the abandoned farm to tell me about the previous occupants several of the region’s farmers all went bankrupt except Andy whose saving grace was his knowledge about the local forage was not impressed with him ranting about the hat mouse and the wizard so I left to browse the traveling carts not going to say no to another starf fruit seed everyone counts no matter the cost when it comes to that absurd starf fruit bundle i planted it in the greenhouse with some deluxe bead grow and the others in the shed will be turned back into seeds to join the ones in the greenhouse when they’re ready for this evening I was focused on adding more pineapples and agencies to the shed garden then I broke into Pierre again delighted to find even a single deluxe bead grow with the saplings I stole i had some gifts to hand out the following day the main one was for Gus’s birthday but he for some reason didn’t go to Pierre that morning the rain perhaps i’ll visit him when the saloon’s open which means I have time to go to Pondwood first for a top up on trash meals and of course to bring Scarlet some more honey then before handing Gus’s birthday gift I watched the townies through the window first whilst they enjoyed the giant omelette i just had to check they were still only saying good things about me i got to make sure that Gus actually deserves this orange but with that his friendship is now complete i bought the other cooking recipes I still needed then I could go on with the rest of my gift spree i found the three star fruit had grown when I got home those became six more seeds for the greenhouse and for my last gift of the day the henchman got some void mayo but this is when I found out that I can’t pickpocket him not that I’d actually want to i just wanted to test it oh and I added a couple of scarecrows to my Nexus to stop the crows eating the dew drop berries i said hello to Crobas on day 149 and accidentally bumped into them they dropped a monster musk which I shoved in my pockets before they could notice find his keepers i was off to the island today but got stuck on the pier for a while with Willie bragging about his latest catch a crimson fish i already caught one of those i thought there’s only meant to be one are the legends lying or is this a very fancy red herring i eventually escaped all the fish talk and stole some berries from the resort bar for a little extra gold breaking all the muzzle rocks i got a snake vertebrae as well as another golden walnut and I nearly missed this artifact spot containing such a variety of loot i read the foraging book there and then before heading over to the fossil tent where I could complete the snake display for another three walnuts and a mango sapling i unfortunately did have to do some fishing of my own this day not only did the island have a variety of new fish for the collection I also had Willy’s tropical fish special order to complete and I had golden walnuts to find the most difficult ocean catch of the day had to be the shark the fight against this absolute unit took almost two and a half incredibly tense real life minutes and you get the pleasure of seeing the whole thing condensed into a matter of seconds this one’s 1500 gold so it’s actually worth it especially smoked given all the new fish added by Stardw Valley expanded I ended up giving up line fishing for the day before 9:00 p.m my backpack was so full and I wanted to get the farm built i even had to throw away the baby alunaloo to make room for the free island warp totem i made use of it early the next morning armed with some lime fish bait this time and my bait maker i still caught my first sea sponge with it but the targeted bait helped me make quicker work of the last couple of lime fish catches i moved on to the digite river next for the discus i wanted to be here to keep an eye out for panning spots since I still need the fossilized tail which didn’t show up by the time I caught my five discus i kept my focus on the weekly quest for now and fish for the stingrays which thankfully didn’t take all that long to catch that left me plenty of time that afternoon to try and pan for the fossilized tail again i didn’t find it yet but that kept me occupied whilst waiting for the pirates to dock in the cove i was there to play darts for walnuts easily winning all three games with my first one of the evening being a perfect game that finally earned me enough walnuts to regain access to the walnut room i was a little nervous about how Mr key would react coming face to face again and honestly I think this was even more awkward him pretending like this was the first time I’ve done this not even acknowledging any of the shenanigans when we know he knows i didn’t think I had 50 love gifts saved up so I picked the hungry challenge for my first key quest which will still get me enough gems for our main goal in here the key to the town of course I also tried and failed to pick pocket Mr key and to access this trash can I’ll have to continue my grind to level 10 binning on day 151 I added a whole gold sturgeon to the luau pot to impress the governor and the town once again squeezing in another batch of wine after the festival then on day 152 I bought another truffle from the traveling cart still reluctant to buy a pig for some reason i’d also brought with me some supplies for the raccoons i don’t know why they think those eggs are mushrooms but I found it suspicious that I got a raccoon hater in return so I’ve been the evidence between the recent fishing and farming activities I was ready for my next mastery i agonized over the decision for a while but ultimately the loot goblin within won this one and I picked the foraging mastery so I can unlock golden mystery boxes that does come with the ability to make mystic tree seeds which I planted without delay it only felt right to then deforest the rest of the farm in the mountain area i need the wood and I was hoping for more from Robin but she only left me a maple seed today i found the dwarf waiting for me when I got back to the farm drat i could have stole from him whilst he was here but he asked me to pay him a visit tomorrow for some sort of proposition tomorrow arrived swiftly i had a bunch of chores to take care of first on the farm as well as Alex’s birthday and found another pair of shorts in Louiswis’s trash on my way for a quick hello to Crobas to max the friendship i’ve been working towards this so I could purchase the void delight recipe i also needed Clint services so I could get hold of the fossilized skull from the golden coconuts surprised to find two of them in there and I thought I might as well get the rest of my dudes and stuff open for the museum i was pleased to get one new donation but I still wanted some sort of refund so I pickpocketed him and got a golden goose egg excuse me that’s a thing yes a new expanded item and this is how I found out there’s a way to own geese in the mod i’m a long way off that for now so I’ll be hoarding this precious egg in case I need it for something i came home to cook up the void delight to bring to the missing bundle but before donating it I got told off by the Junimo for searching in the trash can one last time it’s a bittersweet goodbye completing the bundle satisfying but now I won’t have the Aridium trash can here i cheered myself up a bit by collecting an Aridium sprinkler from the ticket machine then finally got round to visiting the dwarf to hear about this proposition apparently my farm has a blocked entrance to a cave leading directly to the desert he could clear it for me for the hefty price of 36 diamonds i don’t know how long it would take me to pay him but I’m in i had some artisan goods to deal with before bed and I was glad I remembered to shoplift that night not for the duck eggs I got from money but because it meant I remembered to dumpster dive in this area and not only did I score a couple of extra eggs I got yet another garbage hat is the valley trying to tell me something the movie theater got repaired overnight not that I could buy any tickets then on day 154 Marlon came over to request my presence at the Adventurers Guild i’ll get to him at some point i had an abundance of crops to harvest and another five rare seeds to buy from Suki then would you believe it I got another garbage hat from the exact same trash can as last night what is going on i didn’t pay it much more thought i just wanted to get some more kegs and jars set up in the shed so we can really get going and all the money I’ll need to make especially now we’ve got a growing supply of ancient fruit this wasn’t enough though i’m still trying to turn them all into seeds planning to plant these on the island farm i made my appearance at the guild later that afternoon to find out what Maron was after he told me a lance is an outpost in the highlands which I can access via Marlon’s boat if I gather him a plethora of monster parts i wasn’t worried about this request i had a good amount of them at home i was going to get started on the missing pieces immediately but thought better of it without any monster musk so I stole some more seeds and saplings from Pierre then suddenly realized it’s Sunday night and I completely forgot about the week’s key quest i guess this one wasn’t meant to be to at least partly make up for that fail I brought Clint a topaz he requested so I could wipe my tears with a prize ticket on day 155 Kent wrote to me asking for a star fruit for his wife the answer is no at least not for a long time i was due a trip to Ginger Island for the new week to clear the weeds before they take over and I rearrange my scarecrows more neatly so I can begin truly utilizing this farming space for mass ancient fruit production for this week’s key quest I picked up the prismatic range to avoid the pain of extra fishing and to avoid a repeat of last week’s failure I threw some colorful goodies together and got back on that boat i even brought my bed with me now that I know it’s not going to get eaten then dropped off my rainbow of stuff so I could obtain that key to the town once and for all i fished whilst hunting for the fossils at the dig site for the rest of the day continuing this mission into day 156 which was off to an awesome start with this mummified frog from the single weed that’s another walnut down from Professor Snail and as for the dig site pieces I did pan up the tail that morning with the spine finding its way to me shortly after those were the last two pieces for the biggest of the displays which means six more walnuts for me and a sapling which I’ll likely end up selling so now all that remains is the mummified bat this calls for a volcano day i had to eat any fish I just caught because I kind of forgot to bring any food and whilst I did seek out a couple of treasure chests and golden walnuts none of the loot was really noteworthy the double salt sapper rings were pretty insulting and I didn’t find the mummified bat this time i was glad to make it through this place alive though because I could add a couple of rubies to my sword to boost its damage despite my still overflowing batpack I remained tunnel visioned on the fossil hunt and raced straight back to the volcano the following morning i can’t say it wasn’t a struggle but my efforts became worth it when I found the bat on the third floor i exited the volcano via the fifth floor shortcut so I could present my final find to Professor Snail he’s exactly the same in this timeline still taking undeserved partial credit for my hard work all he did was get stuck in a cave but I could get out of there now with the ostrich incubator recipe after all that grinding I was ready to return to the valley i’d been missing my garbage rumaging and found a second trash catalog at the bus stop again i also wanted to make sure I gave Sam a birthday gift in time this year given we missed out on this boost last year i was also glad to have checked on the greenhouse that evening because all the star fruit was ready and it wasn’t going to replant itself got over double the seeds back let’s hope they keep multiplying like this i just wish PSKED them though I can’t exactly complain with a haul like this a couple of the pant trees in particular will go nicely in the greenhouse spots once I was ready for bed I realized there was no bed here i’d left it at the island thank goodness I had a spare pearl to trade for an upgrade of a bed from the desert plus I got some extra desert totems and golden carrots because why not it was time for more wine on day 158 not drinking it I mean making it and selling it obviously the big melon harvest was upon us well it’s a big one for this playthrough at least then I crafted a couple of extra trash cans still chipping away at this darn binning skill i have definitely gotten better at collecting these all daily by this point i still had a bit more crafting to do in the form of 50 quality fertilizer for Susan i deposited it into a chest in her house to complete her special order then I popped a pondwood from there for my usual trash can searching and honey gifting couldn’t stay long though i had several other stops to make today i brought an octopus to Pierre for his request then picked the lock to the movie theater making sure the ticket seller didn’t see me so I could bring Clare a gift now that she’s around again martin will be here as well now that they’ve both got lovely new jobs but he’s not here quite as often and my ardium trash can was downgraded to a gold one it’s better than nothing I guess though there did used to be an extra hidden one behind this building which is gone now and I’m not talking about the copper one we can see i stank up the mines for the rest of the day with plans to go hunting with Monster Musk this was mostly for Marlon’s boat quest but the diamonds were a welcome bonus and I hit the bat monster slayer goal marlon must have known I was down here because he was waiting at the top of the ladder to receive all the monster drops kind of annoying that he thought the one spare bug meat was a gift but thankfully no harm was done to our friendship by this point I knew to expect him on my doorstep the next morning i need to meet him at the dock by the adventurer guild when I’m ready i had a lot on my to-do list before I could go some of the usual farm stuff followed by a completely legal and definitely paid for visit to Clare with a gift i don’t ever end up watching the movies i don’t have time for that i was then excited to see that Scarlet was vacationing on the island today i brought her refreshments in the form of goats milk then proposed to her on the beach her dream of having or sharing a farm will come true in a matter of days with the day’s grand plans completed I was ready to hop on the other boat with Marlon and after an incredibly long and dull journey we made it to the Highlands where Lance was posted we stepped inside to talk about his research he was interested in some seeds that can drop from the monsters in this area that sounded valuable and I wanted in looks like we’ll have some more monster hunting ahead of us i wasn’t feeling that today but it was an evening in the saloon for me with some gifts i completed Kent’s friendship and brought Demetrius a puff of fish he asked for by mail 1,000 gold wasn’t enough of a reward to me so I swiped a seahorse from his pockets he seems to be in the habit of carrying fish around with him it seems with Pierre at the saloon too I could stuff a load of freebies from his store into my backpack happy to gain some extra seas which I still have time to grow this season despite mostly getting nothing when I tried to steal directly from villages I’ve at least been attempting it often enough to reach level three thieving increasing my chances of success i sped through the shed chores on day 160 so I can make haste to the trout derby things were going to be different this year with my better rod and rainbow trout bait i had a lucky lunch and occupied one of my tackle slots with a treasure bobber because I wanted some extra loot if I was going to enjoy a whole day of fishing once my fishing tackles gave up that evening I did too i handed in my 11 golden tags for this variety of prizes there are only 10 prizes available so they’ll just keep repeating the cycle i felt I got everything I needed here so spoiler alert I won’t be back i just wanted to prove I could do it i wound down from all that fishing by making more ancient fruit seeds and in between doing that I broke into the cinema after closing time to see if I could shoplift from there given that we never actually get any of the snacks when we do pay the answer is no but it was still funny seeing the dialogue come up as if someone was there i wanted to shoplift from Clint instead but there is a weird little quirk that if you’re carrying the lockpicks it still makes you use them even if you have the key to the town so just bear that in mind if you use the lockpick mod after all of that Bent was somehow still manning his counter in his sleep so I settled for some ice cream some days from the stand nearby not much of note happened the morning of day 161 till I headed to the desert for some totems and staircases i dropped those home then sailed to the highlands to begin gathering these mysterious seeds for Lance i was a bit concerned when he told me I’d be sent a crate of life elixir to help me why is he okay risking my life if he’s such a great adventurer why not just give me the seeds to grow i couldn’t help but notice that there wasn’t a tree in sight clearly the crows have been feasting around here i did bring some scarecrows with me but the monsters weren’t giving me a second to be able to place them it was also interesting to see some slime eggs I could bring home to sell and as I made my way through some of the passageways along the far edges I realized I didn’t bring my axe to be able to clear the stumps and logs i suddenly hit a swarm of monsters so I made my escape via farm totem i’ll come back another day with the right tools and maybe some more food then doing for something I’m a little bit more comfortable with choplifting from Pierre and what a lovely varied we got today i did also manage to get a few slime and stalk seeds from my trip to the highlands so I brought them to the island farm to plant them where they won’t be affected by the season along with all those ancient fruit seeds i still got the other two types of seed to find in the islands hopefully next time day 162 was the big wedding i completely forgot I had the custom wedding mod and that I’d set this as the location so this was a lovely surprise like there’s actually vows in this and there are a few locations you get to choose from in the config so I highly recommend checking this one out it’s in the description with all the other mods the only thing that was disappointing was Mani no longer dancing at the end or maybe she’s jealous that I’m getting married at all i think I actually slept at the island last night because I had some Monday errands there so it was kind of annoying to be back on the farm again but it did mean I could get the doll’s birthday gifts out of the way he got a rabbit’s foot and a star drop tea so I can mostly ignore him going forward unless I need something i stole Willy’s breakfast and some junk from his counter on my way back to the island to clear the new week’s weeds and pick up a new key quest only to find the same ones on the board as last time i picked the fish one i don’t want to fish but I’d rather do that than hand over another 600 of my precious items i’m not fishing on my wedding day though i’d rather go back to the highlands for some loot but my mind kind of wandered elsewhere whilst I began clearing the stumps so a monster took me out whilst I was distracted no lance rescued me and brought me back to his place and he said he didn’t ask for anything in return but I did find a number of items missing from my backpack and I’ve decided that unless it’s absolutely essential I’m going to try avoid using Maron’s item retrieval service even if it is half the price for me i do wish I could steal back the items but that’s not a thing i chug some Life Elixir to fix me up and pop back home to snack on some raw summer squashes to restore my energy then zipped right back over there to get my revenge i’m a stubborn one okay i watched my back much better this time i made it to the top of the winding path where I was attacked by this tough ancient looking dino it took a good couple of in-game hours to defeat the beast who dropped a plethora of loot i had to make room in my backpack for all of it but amongst it all was an extra precious treasure chest which I’ll keep for now in case I need an emergency gift the regular treasure chest I can sell but there was also a key we’ll have to find out what that opens up another day on day 163 I began the extended family key quest and brought some seafoam pudding to the mountain lake to try and get the worst one over first the legend 2 which didn’t actually give me all that much trouble today i reeled him in Miss Zangler on route to the sewers where I caught my first radioactive bass but it took till almost evening time for the radioactive carp to show up at least it came with a golden fishing chest which was just a dress spinner yikes the son of Crimson Fish was my next target but with my backpack full of fish and loot I had to run home to make some space real quick so I can take out the glacia fish junior just outside Andy’s place that thankfully showed up on my first cast and there’s another key quest complete sadly my fishing day was not over i also had the biome balance special order to do so I stayed up late hanging out at the town river but whilst I didn’t finish the quest tonight I had a little progress boost from a few challenge bait that I’d fished up given the hour I thought it would be a perfect day to shoplift from Gus with Emily having just left the saloon too but for some reason it was still giving me the option of buying stuff here not sure what that deal is so I defaulted to my most frequent victim Pierre plenty for the taking over there on day 164 I realized I’d not had a peek at Scarlet’s spouse room yet there’s nothing we can interact with in here but it’s very cute i love it i’m not sure anything can happen to her belongings but just in case I set up a scarecrow covering it after tending to the shed harvest I got right back to river fishing so I could banish that quest from my journal that afternoon i scored my fifth garbage hat on my way home where it was time for the next batch of strawberry wine in the shed i came back to town a little later on to bring Gus an amethyst shot he asked for and to claim the three prize tickets I’d saved up for a pig painting some mega bombs and some mystery boxes i didn’t notice Clint wasn’t at the saloon earlier so I tried to shoplift from him only to find he was trying to work from his bed again money’s it is for today just for some little legs between the wine smoked fish and some other stuff I sold I brought in over 76 grand i think this is the most so far in a night then on day 165 I delivered some pickles and juice to the raccoons who thanked me with a top up of fairy dust which I’ll likely end up using towards their future requests back on the farm I crafted five more dehydrators now that I was stockpiling various fruits then I was offered another delivery to Pierre this time with a rainbow trout let’s be honest I was just in it for the prize ticket which funnily enough also gave me a fairy dust i had an afternoon planned in the Highlands so I could access another blocked off area in this little zone amongst the ruins are some bouncy mushrooms which have a new type of seed for Lance just one more area left to search in the Highlands but I’d forgotten something important so I had to walk home briefly to bring the golden key i tried and succeeded not to get overrun whilst I cleared a path through this new zone which led to a giant cave it was cool to see the odd random mineral on the ground so I’ll be keeping my eye out for valuable or donatable ones my cave exploration brought me to the smaller room containing a caged dwarf there was a lock and I have a key the correct key our new little friend is now free and they’ll find a way to repay me apparently we’ll soon find out what that entails but for now I could get back on with exploring these monster ridden caves following a hidden path by the water I found a few mystic stones I could mine sadly not a single prisy in sight from them the bright side is that I came home that night with all the monster crops I needed i was not done with the Highlanders just yet returning on day 166 in the gloomy weather where I found the new dwarf set up a shop in one of the cliff faces that’s how we’re repaying me by selling me stuff i can’t even buy any of this nor can I shoplift here i’ve been scammed moving right along I made my way to the mushroomy area so I could hunt the green bouncy mushrooms which only come out in the rain they drop green mushrooms when slain and I need one for shipping that’s all I really came for i got out of there to find most of my star fruit had matured in the greenhouse those 14 fruit got turned into 27 more seeds we’re expanding these pretty nicely the weather wasn’t much better on Ginger Island where I brought a banana to the gorilla and paste around awaiting my payment of golden walnuts leo then got a perfect duck feather and a star drop tea for his birthday for a huge boost in friendship and I asked the parrot for my next walnut clue while I was there which pointed me towards a volcano i got all my monster crop seeds planted on the island farm to reclaim some backpack space so I could take the parrot’s advice i got the parrot express back in service so I could get over there a little quicker given it was a pretty late start for a volcano walnut hunt but thankfully I found all three I was looking for by floor 5 in a single evening on day 167 I dug up a pman sapling on the home farm which added to the collection of them in the greenhouse i lockpicked my way into the the theater just to bring Martin some ice cream before at long last setting up a couple of scarecrows in the mine entrance so I could have a chest up here it’s probably a good idea to keep my lockpicks up here to avoid Scarlet potentially finding them at home i mind the afternoon away as I was pretty low on iron and whilst some of that was smelting I made the effort to go all the way back to Ginger Island just to bring Leo another duck feather his friendship isn’t quite done yet and the gift week resets tomorrow so I should get another small boost overnight from having gifted him twice this week today’s iron mining was so that I could make more recycling bins and trash cans yep still very much working on that bin level i never anticipated it taking this long to max it out but that’s my fault for pretty much ignoring these extra sources of XP for pretty much the whole of last year my last day of this year’s summer began with an indoor harvest in the garden shed it was here that I reached my next mastery level i won’t be claiming it today though i think I forgot i bought some fairy seeds from the traveling cart in prep for fall and I was glad to see that Robin was open and at her counter today because it was time to ask for my next house upgrade some more iron mining is how I occupied my time to the start of the Moonlight Jelly Festival and Clint even left his door unlocked for me to steal some stuff on my way over i’ll take a free furnace and some artifact troves thanks just had to keep my finds safely packed away so they wouldn’t be discovered whilst we all watched the jellyfish from the pier to mark the end of another season [Music] i set up quite a few of my stored sprinklers on day 169 because I had a lot of seeds ready for planting this fall it took me much of the daylight hours to get that done by which point I was ready to leave the farm to pick my next mastery i went for mining this time i was off to town by Sophia’s place where I found Scarlet treating this vat of grapes like her personal step machine sophia asked if she could also borrow my feet so I guess that one of the future batches of her wine will have me as an ingredient too it better raise the value i clearly put my all into this task for some reason i wanted to get my breath back out by sheer water bridge when my recharge time was rudely interrupted by Camila instead of simply going away like I hoped she said a load of gibberish then the water started meowing a new type of fish camila is just out to cause me pain i respect it once I felt recovered both physically and mentally I stopped by PS to steal some more seeds but all that was left for me were a few artichokes then I picked a new special order for the week and Marlon’s one obviously piqued my curiosity i had so many questions but the only one I’ll get an answer for is the list of what he’s after and it’s a whole bunch of bombs but tonight though my crafting materials were designated to upgrading my furnaces to heavy ones for the improved efficiency on day 170 I woke up a whopping 300 grand worse off from the bills and taxes i wish this was some sort of nightmare but it wasn’t i’m going to have to have words with Louis about the absurdity of this figure i wanted to take my mind off that or the trip to Ginger Island but on my way through town to get the boat I got stuck talking to Evelyn for a while she was saying nice things about my grandpa and I couldn’t tell if he either fled the town as well as I aspired to or if he was genuinely a friend to Evelyn and George i did think it might have been the latter and I suppose it made sense as to why there’s something within me that doesn’t let me pickpocket from either of them i escaped the prologue socializing to get another 80 ancient seeds planted on the island farm i also picked out a new key quest for the week and traded my walnuts for extra key gems so I could make a start on buying the crafting recipes here i’d also brought a couple of scarecrows for this area to allow some trees to grow then coming back out to the beach I brought Leo to the pier to meet Willie and Lionus i was involved with convincing Leo to move to the valley where there are other kids to make friends with and if he’s in the valley more often it’ll be easier for me to track him down with gifts to max his friendship my last task for the day was to apply the master enchantment to my fishing rod ready for the more difficult fish i wanted to get back to the valley to rumage through all the trash cans even buying a ticket to Pondwood with how awesome theirs have been but I found Scarlet there too checking the bulletin board we were chatting about how she likes grabbing little objob over here when a neighbor’s dog got loose couldn’t help but chuckle at the chase I witnessed coming back into town I took the opportunity whilst Pierre was staring off into the river to steal from his person and got a free price catalog you own already does this power for me so I’m going to sell it my trash tour very much paid off today level 9 binning finally better chances for better loot and now we can craft advanced recycling machines i’ll show you how those work soon day 171 and the house extension was complete of course it doesn’t come with scarecrows pre-installed so the two kids beds that are usually here have already been crowed i got three scarecrows down to protect any future belongings before heading outside to craft my first few better recycling machines they’ll require three pieces of trash instead of one and they take a lot more time to process but look at all the awesome resources we can get the jars and kegs were ready for a new batch of goods and this week I tried to begin a new habit of crafting extra kegs each time the wine’s done so each shipment can get bigger and bigger over time this week I’ve added 12 more kegs i was hoping to raid Pierre’s hidden trash can but I only noticed that Pierre was hidden back there himself as I approached the corner i had no idea he produced pumpkin cider and despite not being much of a drinker I was absolutely going to indulge in a free taste because I could see how much it pained Pierre to offer it to me the booze must have really gotten to me because I proceeded to fish at Sheer Water Bridge no that was already in my plans i need to catch my first kitty fish as well as the new start of expanded legendary fish the horrifically challenging wolf snapper and not to waste the remaining buff from the fish stew it took my whole evening to handle the stonefish the ice pip and the lava eel in the mines day 172 was spent in Skull Caverns for this great luck day with a magic rock candy and a blooming wine to boost me through the invasion i wasn’t going to miss another mining related key quest i took the early skill book as a good sign for the day ahead i found several treasure floors on my way down to floor 100 which did take me till half 10 at night to find but I won’t spoil all the loot just yet other than the fact that I just disposed of the red cowboy hat can’t quite remember why i didn’t feel like passing out in the cabins so I left from floor 110 just after midnight let’s have a look at our end of day loot review so today was my first day to get a hold of radioactive ore but I got to say I was hoping to come out with more than 37 of them the best of the treasure chests I found today contained a few quality sprinklers an auto petta and a crystalarium clearly I thought the melanies were worth bringing home too just one prismatic shard this run but I can’t complain at the rest of the ores and gems I got on day 173 I worked on my delayed shed garden harvest it’s only a day late but skull cabins took priority yesterday and there were some crops waiting in the outdoor field too that auto peta got a home in the barn then once the farm chores were done I brought the variety of bombs to the adventurous guild for Maron special order and claimed my payment of 8 grand it’s been a good few days since I’ve remembered to shoplift I wanted to take advantage of Pierre usually leaving the store early on a Friday night to go to the saloon but he was still there today not only that but Elliot stuck around browsing the shelves even later he stands a towel closer to the counter than Pierre usually does so I decided to stay hidden till the shop floor was completely clear and my reward for all that patience just a few cranberry seeds however I did also go home with five more aridium bars from the prize ticket machine my first radioactive bars had finished smelting when I got home which meant I could ship one and make my first few heavy tappers to upgrade the ones on the fur trees i’d recently found out I was going to need a lot of fur wax from these for the new premium coupon and barn from Stardw Valley expanded and with just three trees which take 11 days to process with the normal tapper I had to speed things up somehow i also found out I was just a few diamonds away from paying the dwarf for the desert tunnel so I used a couple of fairy dust on my crystallariums to end my wait and before going to bed I made sure to deliver the three dozen diamonds to the dwarf so we can get to work the witch dropped by with another void egg gift overnight how lovely of her then on day 174 I moved my crab pots from the farm to the beach area as I need some of the other fish down here for cooking glad I checked the gold trash can whilst I was over this way i found a void ghost pendant here we won’t be asking Crobus to move in so I’ll be shipping it for the 4 1/2 grand i was up to the mine from there for a bit of bug slaying found myself low on bug meat and whilst I was on that task I couldn’t help slaying some flying skulls to see some of the extra loot from them i got a new pair of baggy pants from one of them i like how these move so I’ll be living in these from now on most of that bug meat was for the raccoons along with three topaz i got a whole jungle fish tank for doing that which I wasn’t all that thrilled about but I placed it in my house anyway there was a bit of a commotion as I stepped out on day 175 that means our desert cave is now complete before allowing myself to get distracted by that I had some star fruit to harvest turn back into seeds and replant in the greenhouse then I made my way through which was a much shorter walk than I thought it would be that being said the cave does come out by the galaxy saw pillars so to get to the trader it’s actually kind of a trick but it is much cheaper than the desert obelisk so who am I to complain even if I was a bit sweaty by the time I got to where I needed to be it was the perfect day to use that cave for the first time because I needed to be here for the staircase trade and I remembered to bring some gold bars for a couple more golden carrot seeds my sweating wasn’t over yet i ended up sticking around out here past sunset chopping and replanting all the trees for an extra stack and a half of wood the ass was a long clothes when I got back to town a perfect chance to nick some seeds and saplings from him day 176 was Cla’s birthday i cleared my trash cans at the bus stop whil waiting for her to arrive for work but unlike when she’d go to the Joja Mark she doesn’t walk to work from here she simply teleports i brought clip my axe for upgrade on my way to break into the theater i wasn’t going to miss the birthday friendship boost because that’s her friendship complete i shoplifted from man’s while she was out of the store for the day and got a load more milk I can turn into cheese then it was back to the farm to begin working on my next special order a fairy garden for Sophia she needs 50 fairy seeds and I don’t have any right now barely any roses either so I popped the few I had in the seed maker obviously this isn’t going to be enough but I do already have a few growing on the farm I can turn into seeds later that’s the part of the request I’m most worried about the fairy stones I’ve been saving up and the fairy dust I can handle and to get him my island visit for the new week and brought Alex a gift whilst he was there leo got one too and that’s another friendship done with those were just some convenient wins i was really here to pick out my new key quest and I guess we’re going cabins again because I’m not giving away another 600 items they’re mine i also grabbed my next couple of key gem crafting recipes as well as a deconstructor in case I need it then out on my beach I dug up a pearl and a walnut hinted by a journal scrap i call it a reward for remembering to clear the new weeds on the day of the week they tend to sprout it was a nice surprise to find my first void route and slime berries were done on this farm just got to wait for the other two monster crops now for Lance i had loads of stuff to harvest on day 177 a bounty of four crops outdoors and an abundance of berries and ancient fruits in the shed garden i got drenched hanging around my seed makers for a couple of hours and turning my ancient fruit into more seeds then passed by my bus stop bins where clearly someone’s had a really bad batch of cookies i needed to take the minecarts to the adventurers’s guild where Maron was inspecting my handiwork from all those bumps can’t say how well they’ll perform while water logged but that’s not my problem the real customer arrived shortly after to receive the crate of explosives and apparently my work could rival Beex whoever that is anyway with that sorted Maron brought me inside to show me an order ledger of decorations okay do I look like the decorating type Maron i can’t even buy these the only thing that made the trip up here worthwhile was that Lance was around for me to give him a gift but the next batch of wine being ready in the shed could cheer me up especially with the prospect of adding another 15 kegs for the next batch but for today I opted to make some pale ale i had a lot of hops sitting around yes was my shoplift target of the evening i’m probably going to come here a fair bit whilst I’m still short on fairy seeds which he didn’t have any of today on day 178 I wanted to get Clint to open some dudes and stuff and since I got to his place a little early I couldn’t help stealing from him whilst he was working outdoors now I have some extra bits i left and pretended to enter the store for the first time that morning to collect my gold axe which I immediately handed back to him for the urinium upgrade and then unleashed all the loot into my backpack it was the golden mystery boxes I was most excited about today i always love getting books for the mastery XP booths but from the geodess I could donate three more museum pieces but really one of the main reasons for today’s mass loot opening was to add to my stock piles of seeds and deluxe bead grow the only ones I didn’t store were the pumpkins the artichokes could make way for those when I reloaded my crab pots with bait for the day I found another ghost boy pendant in the beach trash then I made another breeze off at the quarry to smash a few iron nodes to the clink and inspect the ore i wanted to reclaim some cash from him considering how much I spent here this morning to round off my day with some nonclint related tasks I brought PS some sashimi and Demetrius a red snapper there’s a little bit more extra gold my pickles and pale L were done the next morning and I’ll be going back to doing wine in the kegs i crafted four more aridium sprinklers to bring to the island so I could plant the 122 ancient seeds I’ve been accumulating this is going to be the key to our future profits and I could harvest the monster mushrooms for Lance that day just one more crop we’re waiting on now i passed back through the resort where I stole a seahorse from Pam whilst on my way to the treehouse to ask the parrot for my next walnut clue still got a couple stuck in the muscle rocks but there weren’t any today not much else to report this day just refilled my crab pots and I think I forgot to shoplift on day 180 I found a star fruit for sale at the traveling cart nap that right up to turn into seas later it was convenient that Louiswis is home for its walleye delivery because he had a price ticket for me which I could redeem right away even if it was just another house plant i brought some to that speed grow to the island to shave off a few days growing time for the monster fruit and I think I was on autopilot when I left the island because I just bought another boat ticket shortly after i wanted to make sure I brought Lance a gift whilst he was there i then returned to the valley for real to tend to the next star fruit harvest and replanting just got to keep chipping away at the starf fruit expansion it was night time when I’d finished that so Robin was at the saloon for me to bring her a cactus fruit then I decided to steal from Pierre today and I was glad to have picked here because he had five fairy seeds amongst the pile of goodies some of the others I planted had bloomed the following morning those all went in the seed maker but I knew they wouldn’t be enough to not have to replant as many of those for another batch I cycled through some mixed flower seeds to grow some more they all got deluxe brow and thankfully I didn’t have to use any of my seed maker seeds the mixed ones cover the empty spots the shed harvest was my next task of the day and whilst I got some more agent seeds going I could pick up my aridiumax from Clint let’s hope this one doesn’t get eaten i also had the coupe floor to tidy up i really need an auto grabber in here then in running around with some gifts that evening I forgot to shoplift day 182 began with an outdoor harvest i don’t know what it is but there’s something about harvesting full crops that just hits different than any other season is that just me i was still panicking about this fairy garden quest so I did end up planting the 24 fairy seeds I’d saved up with some deluxe speed grow in addition to the ones we planted yesterday that should near guarantee that we finish it in time the raccoons got their next supply package of some muscles and a smoke chub and in hoping for something useful I got a red cabbage because I haven’t chipped one yet i do have a couple in the chest but I didn’t have many so I kept hold of this one too for now i was excited to see that I could now trade my boring ordinary mystery boxes to golden ones now you just know the next thing I did was open them all and the highlights from these were the auto patter and fishing XP book which I read before even walking out the door as for the auto patter Ember still doesn’t know how to take care of a wife so it’s going by Scarlet Spouse Room i was happy with the variety of seeds on offer at PS and I didn’t go home without refilling my crab pots i have been doing this pretty frequently recently on day 183 I gave my Aridium Max a proper test drive on the desert trees this felt great we melted through all of them and not that much time at all really sandy was outside for a birthday by the time I’d finished the tree chopping so I could go on with my yearly shoplift i was hoping for starf fruit and beet seeds but all I got were some rhubarb and cactus fruits the cactus seeds went straight in the bin then I replanted all of my trees in Scarecrow’s Reach before heading back to town to pick up a new special order i picked island ingredients because I do prefer the Tarot version but I wasn’t sure at this point if I’d be able to do it within the next 2 weeks on day 184 I found out I had 66 tarot tubers stored up and plenty of bone frags to trade for the rest so Project Harrow is go except it’s the Stardy Valley Fair today so I had to craft an island totem and I’m very much on a time grunge of course I brought a few new scarecrows to guard the river banks and speeding through all the planting I got it done by the late morning so I made it to the festival in time with some of my most prized belongings for the grains display i wasn’t surprised to claim my victory for the second year running then checking the prize shop there was a new recipe that wasn’t here last year i spun the wheel to top up my total to 4,000 tokens so I could learn that recipe with the rest going into another prize ticket being a festival day I stole a couple of ice cream sundaes from the stand in town then on day 195 I had some crops and pickles to see to in the big shed as well as a decently sized starfruit harvest in the greenhouse i crafted a couple more seed makers to cut down on the waiting around for them and the result of today’s starfruit replanting was another 55 seeds this kind of pace made the 200 starfruit go feel far more reachable before the end of the year i felt today was a good day to begin incorporating ancient fruit wine into my production slowly phasing out the cheaper stuff i still had loads of ancient seeds to bring to Ginger Island for planting and on my way to the boat I sweep past Kent and swiped a bottle of Blue Moon wine one of our best deals yet it is just plus two luck for 2 minutes so it’s not even close to as good as the age stuff so this bottle will go to Harvey as a free love gift there were even more ancient fruit to harvest on the island farm and the monster fruit was finally ready haven’t had that in today it took me into the nighttime to set up the new sprinklers for all the new ancient seeds I wanted to plant and I only remembered after that to pick up a new key quest for the week even though I picked the love gifts one I’ll let you know now I didn’t end up doing it and I really wasn’t up for doing keyscrop either on day 186 I turned yesterday’s island ancient fruit back into seas to bring back over there but before heading to the island I did a little trash tour through town and recovered a whole aged blue moon wine from Sophia’s place i’m not letting that go to waste that was part of a long route to the mastery cave where I picked out my fourth mastery this time I went for the farming one for the iridium scythe which can harvest crops when I remember to use it made it to Ginger Island that afternoon lance was also visiting today so I could hand over one of each of the monster crops for his research along with an extra mushroom as a love gift i got my next 66 ancient seeds planted and check the nearby muscle nose for walnuts no luck there today visiting the dig site I found it full of resources i had to make sure to clear all those out so more can regenerate to keep working on raising my profits I worked late in the shed replacing some of my pineapples coffee plants and blueberries with salow berries i’ve been enjoying dehydrating them the cranberries I picked the next morning are pretty good for that too i wanted to spend this good luck day in the mines for ores and coals towards more legs i wanted to spend this good luck day in the mines for ores and coals towards more kegs but I also needed a little extra stone to craft the statue of blessings that I’ve been hoarding my resources for i had to get that down on the farm ASAP and my first blessing was a prismatic butterfly those go away in the evening so I had to prioritize searching for it and luckily it was just out by the bus stop i had a momentary panic when my screen changed to the next part of the road but thankfully when I turned back around the butterfly was reachable and it blessed me with an extra 8 grand i don’t know how P didn’t notice but I managed to steal three entire baguettes directly from his pockets without him noticing i’m not going to ask how those were stored but if he’s ever selling warm baguettes maybe think twice before you buy them and checking all the trash cans in town I found Louis had to check out another pair of pants again i guess that’s a part of the perk of being the mayor an unlimited supply of your favorite underwear i added those to the grown collection back at home then added another 20 kegs to the shed ready for whenever the next batch of wine is ready i wanted to get back to my or gathering after all those distractions but not before stealing from PS counter this time turns out I can access the counter just fine even when Elliot standing that one tile closer an evening of iron mining resulted in over 160 extra ores then waking up on day 188 I found Lance on my doorstep thanking me for the monster crops he was excited about his studies and as a thank you he left me a gift in a chest in his house though right now it’s not quite enough to entice me into a trip to the highlands going to be honest I don’t remember if I ever collected it this year it’s the last day of the gifting week so that’s what topped my list today i finished Alex’s friendship brought Caroline her requested catfish and stole a daffodil from her i broke into the theat to bring Martin some ice cream and donated a scal hand to the museum which unlocked a new reward I simply wasn’t interested in the crab pots finally had a lobster for me so that I could bring it to Gus for his mail request then I didn’t forget a gift for the henchmen obviously another jar of void mayo now for some gifts for myself from Piaz which included a couple of Ferrises I can put towards Sophia’s fairy garden and once I put all that away I made a bow mill to get myself some free fertilizers from the extra bone artifacts I’ve been saving much of day 189 was spent working on expanding the starf fruit crop again as well as the next shed harvest which includes making more ancient fruit seeds i took the tunnel to the desert in the evening to trade for staircases and dig up the yellow strange doll which I didn’t realize I was hiding under a tree I planted then I brought a couple of spare weapons to Maron to sell on day 190 the next lot of fairy roses are grown and popping all of those into the seed maker I got back 36 seeds there are still loads yet to bloom in the crop field we should have this order in the bag easily there wasn’t much else I really wanted to grow this season so I occupied those spots with fiber seeds to hold the fertilizer the raccoons were due a delivery for their growing family and this time they rewarded me with a book of stars reading this boosted my mastery by about 1,000 XP but as you can see we still have a long way to go on this last level i was off to the island with another lot of ancient seeds when I noticed Sebastian on the pier he’s usually daydreaming out here so I thought I could pickpocket him but he heard me approach so I pretended I wanted to hang out with him for a minute before going on my way and shoplifted from Willie whilst he was out i had more agencies than sprinkler spots free on the island farm i could squeeze in three more idium sprinklers so I set myself a reminder to make them with Mr he’s still asking for a few hundred of my items i’ll be hoping to complete the hungry challenge instead this week i don’t know why I then bothered to harvest the island crops that were ready because I carried them all straight into the volcano right after i did stop off at the forge first so it could have been that I was only planning to go there to merge a vampire ring with an aridian band and to enchant my sword looking for crusader which I got first time but then I didn’t have enough cinder shards to add another gem to my sword so then I guess it makes sense that I suddenly decided on a volcano run for more despite struggling with a backpack full of fruit it was still worth it i found my first animal cracker i ended up turning around from the second floor once I had just enough cinder shards to forge the topaz onto my sword for the extra defense on day 191 we have the next major forcrop harvest and of course it’s the fairy roses we’ve been waiting for with those I had more than enough supplies for Sophia’s special order my first animal cracker went to my rabbit so I can hope for more loved gifts then like last time I planted fiber seeds in the deluxe speedrow spots to save the fertilizer i was not expecting to be judged by Charlie the chicken while searching the trash on my way to shoplift some duck eggs from Mani then I dropped off the fairy garden supplies at Sophia’s farm with all that work rewarding me with 35 grand over on a rainy ginger island I harvested the remaining monster fruit and brought the threeium sprinklers with me so I could finish filling this place with ancient crops caroline’s terror was done as well i got some walnuts amongst that harvest and all that terra got shipped so that quest will be completed overnight i don’t remember when I got this beat but instead of it sitting in my chest I popped it into the seed maker so I can work on multiplying those in the greenhouse for shipping cooking and the club card unlock then I got some steps in around town in the swamp handing out gifts when I got to the henchman with his void mayo he whipped me up a nighttime snack of a void mayo sandwich he borderline forcefed me and it might be one of his favorites but the void mayo is quite simply not for human consumption sometimes it hurts to be a don’t knock it till you try it kind of person thankfully there was a batch of wine waiting in the shed for refresh to distract me from the lingering aftertaste so with that the terror and a few other farming products we made a total of 81,000 gold on day 192 I gathered up the last cranberries of the season before chopping down the croy trees in Cintat forest and all around the valley i visited Pondwood that evening for the trash finds and to help Scarlet with a project she’d been doing over here i came back to town to collect my four prize tickets getting a star drop tea a treasure chest an aridium sprinkler and another freaking house plant then shoplifted from Manne on my way home for over a dozen eggs scarlet had just finished making dinner when I walked through the door which was awesome i was starving i told her I loved whatever it was she made but she did not approve of the speed at which I dined not sure how to feel about her reaction but then she did ask to take a rude trip together to a goat ranch tomorrow if the weather’s good the sun would in fact be shining the next morning but I’m not heading on that trip today i dealt with my harvests both outdoors and in the shed then on this amazing luck day it was skull cabins calling out to me i had keys hungry challenge to complete and a good luck day it was with all the jump holes and treasure to be found I finished the rock crab monster slayer goal on my way down and it was actually a jump hole that brought me to floor 100 that evening so I could receive my key gems with loads of time left to continue my spelunking I passed out down on floor 136 for the night i bet you know what’s next so my floor 100 treasure was yet another auto patter and I bet that’s the best rhyme you’ve ever heard i got a whole four prismatic shards kind of gutter we didn’t also have the four precious stones key quest too and with 267 aridium more I should be set on aridium for a good while or at some emergency funds i’ll be looking forward to finding out what’s in those 13 golden mystery boxes but as you can see luck was truly on our side yesterday because I came home still with 54 staircases only used 22 all day i realized that day that I hadn’t progressed Project Crows begun nearly as much as I was hoping for where we are in the year and it was now the fiber I was short on so I cleared a huge patch of land just to plant a couple of hundred seeds which will be ready in winter i was glad not to have missed out on Susan’s incredible pumpkin harvest all thanks to my homemade fertilizer and she showed her gratitude by sharing her patented beer and ale making methods which increases their value but then she roached me into helping with the harvest that all made me late to meet Sophia at her parents’ place for the road trip we’re borrowing their truck i was a little nervous but it seems that Scarlet is a competent driver so we arrived at Goat Farm in one piece she introduced me to all of her goat friends and fed them some trees and when she was ready to go home I searched the trash cans while she was saying goodbye to her parents again they threw away so much perfectly good food here i still had time for a traveling cart visit after the trip and this was the first time I found a scarlet portrait for sale kind of creepy that she’s selling a picture of my wife for 30 grand but I took it anyway the next star fruit harvest replanting occupied my night with a quick break to steal some milk from man’s and with the amount of starfruit seeds I gained tonight I had to go to bed before I could even get the additional sprinklers down i wanted to get straight on with that the following morning but I stepped into the greenhouse to heartbreak i forgot to add one more scarecrow to the bottom left and so the crows had a very bougie feast overnight of a couple of sprinklers and all the seeds and speed grow that they were holding not ideal but with that morning smaller harvest I was able to nearly restore their numbers and the extra speed spots I left I’m saving for some future beets i got some summit foraging in before the season ends then after climbing back down the mountain Robin had vacated her workplace so I could steal some mystic tree seeds and driftwood a pleasing hall from here for once i then stared into space by the bus stop waiting for the spirit sea festival to begin and this time I had more than enough funds to cover the rare crow I missed out on last year thankfully the altered layout of this maze didn’t hold me up too much it wasn’t long before I could claim my prize ticket at the end and as for that rare crow I added it to the others in the greenhouse just to be sure my star fruit was sufficiently guarded this time i grabbed any remaining crops in the farm to start the last day of four this year and made another few homemade trash cans as part of my bidding skill grind but also because I was going through a lot more trash with the advanced recycling machines yesterday’s prize ticket rewarded me with a bunch of explosives then I crossed the bridge to steal some ice creams from the stands and successfully caught Martin in town to give him one without needing a lockpick to get to him the henchman got some void mayo for the new gift week too but that was it for gifts today i visited the raccoons to trade some of my spare mystic syrup for the fairy dust so I could give my fur wax supply a little boost i’m really regretting not planting and tapping more of these because we need so many for the new buildings i was however now short on stone so I spent the rest of the day clearing out the quarry by hand i would bring bombs but I don’t want to destroy the scarecrows might as well chop the trees here too [Music] on day 197 I planted a load of powdermelons and winter forage because that’s all I can grow for crops out here a little shed harvest could make up for it as well as some ancient fruit and slime berries on the island farm i was over here to pick a new key quest for the week pleased to find both options was skull cabin related so I picked the invasion again for his higher reward i brought my golden mystery boxes to Clint whilst he was at home but far too many of them just contain the worst mystery boxes i could reread the book of mysteries for an XP boost though and I guess I got a few extra powder melons to plant on day 198 I was once again horrified by my taxes and utilities draining in an exorbitant amount of money from my account 550 grand that’s like 2/3 of my balance clearly the words I had with Lewis last month didn’t do the job i’ll have to keep trying to bully him into some sort of arrangement thankfully the wine was ready to go though I could begin recovering those funds and there’ll be an extra 20 bottles of the good stuff next week too i chose today to handle some of my new fishing catches and scored a few extra strawberry seeds from Andy Trash on my way to the fishing spot just below his farm i got pay on the glacia fish catching up on my first cast now that I’m much better geared for it then it was onwards to the sewers to catch the mutant cup followed by the bug layer for the slime jack the water grub and lastly the snatcher worm which took so long to show up like it was dark by the time I left the sewers that did mean that Pierre was done with work but being winter there were no seeds just a sapling and some oil he didn’t even have anything extra for me in his pockets having used some of the cheaper fruits in the last lot of wine I only got 10% back on my tax bill then on day 199 I set off another batch of pickles before rushing off to Skull Caverns for this decent luck day i completed the mummy monster slayer goal pretty early in the day with the power of my crusader enchanted sword and I couldn’t wait till the loot review to tell you that I got an auto grabber from my first treasure floor of the day i’ve been waiting for this moment for so long i can finally stop picking up the eggs by hand i reached floor 100 that evening via jump hole again reached my fifth mastery level on the next floor finished off the serpent slayer go around midnight and passed out on floor 137 that felt like a really productive cabineting sesh let’s see how that’s reflected in our next morning’s loot review okay first of all that’s seven prismatic shards there wow you know about the autograbber and I got a galaxy soul from a slime but then on the other hand there must not have been anything better to replace the summer forage seeds or the minus trees i am happy with the amount of ores and gems I got though i popped my new auto grabber in the ce and scooped up the eggs and wool from the floor one last time thank goodness then there was once again some starf fruit waiting for me in the greenhouse the beets were done too getting the seeds back took so long that I was partway through replanting when I realized the time i wanted to make it to Robins today to ask her to build me a premium barn this is going in a temporary spot for now i didn’t realize that this will be a whole new building rather than an upgrade and I don’t really want a lot of barn animals so I decided that this will eventually replace my other barn i just wanted it to unlock the new animal that comes with this got some scarecrows ready for it too then getting back to the star fruit I had enough seeds to expand into nearly four new quality sprinklers on day 20 I had a lion i was tired we’ve been pretty non-stop i need a rest okay well that would be a good part of storytelling wouldn’t it but let’s be honest that’s not what happened oh no I forgot to pause my game even if much later in the day than I was expecting rolling out of bed that afternoon to shed harvest is always a lovely way to start my day and I got to visit the mastery cave for the last time to claim my fifth and final mastery in combat clearly Grandpa is proud of me sticking to my principles i will not be beaten by Mr key i can now release my little frog friend I stole from Vincent a while back though I did forget to shoplift today on day 202 I brought George a winter route to get a hold of another prize ticket but Harvey was out to shake my mood telling me off for trying to salvage stuff from the trash i tried to pickpocket him in revenge but he caught me i played it off like a joke and there seemed to be no harm done to the friendship i got five mystery boxes from my prize ticket i stored a couple at home but brought three to the raccoons to trade for a golden one to add to my other 13 before getting those opened I wanted to donate an artifact to Gunther but I thought I should stop for a chat with Martin whilst I still have a long way to go with his friendship i inquired about his Saturday reading habits and he told me he’d been poking around some genealogy books just in case he might find some interesting information about his family since he’s adopted i’m glad the few ice creams I’ve given him have been working he thanked me for listening and helping him feel at home here in the valley i feel like I barely talked to him but sure i got that donation done in the form of a gift i mean then got those golden boxes open the winner here was definitely the deluxe speedrow and the normal boxes I traded up to better ones and returned to Clint for a second round of farmy loot i was hoping for more deluxe speed grow which I didn’t get more of but I was still satisfied with the 20 I did get which all went into the star route with Robin on my farm I headed to a store to shoplift some sap and a tapper that I don’t have a place for then while checking the bath house trash Lis was just exiting the building he noticed but instead of the usual telling off he was happy to see me with a hobby in common on day 203 I could harvest the unwatered fiber outdoors as well as the next load of star fruit in the greenhouse as you can imagine that meant spending the whole morning by the seed makers but today I officially had more than enough seeds to finish filling the place with more starf fruit not long now after purchasing some caviar from the traveling cart to ship I shoplifted some junk from Robin’s place and set up a whole load of scarecrows around that area thanks to this morning’s fiber that included the bath house and giving Susan’s place a bit of extra protection then with my last few I added them to Cindat forest on day 204 the beets had grown again i harvested a handful of starf fruit too so I can make room for a few more beets i had some extra star fruit seeds left over from yesterday to go in any remaining spots and by that point it was time to head to the festival of ice i don’t usually check the shops in the second year but once again I’m glad I did because there was a new cooking recipe here the chocolate truffle bar my need to show the town knees up outweighed my distaste for fishing plus I got a prize ticket out of my win but Grandpa shed was the real win of the day all of the wine and pickles were ready i also had some preserved fruit for a late night delivery to the raccoons the star drop tea was a very welcome gift and with all the ancient fruit wine I shipped along with a few of the farm goodies I made over 250 grand in a single night day 205 I could harvest the forage and powder melons the forage turned back into seeds which went in the ground with the 16 powdermelon seeds I’d acquired through mystery boxes my premium balm was now done i was so excited to take my first peek inside they come equipped with an auto grabber auto petta and a heater except Robin doesn’t include scarecrows so those convenient extra items are gone i added my own scarecrows to prevent any further theft then moved my animals and equipment over there so I could use the wizards podium to move the premium barn to its permanent spot except I forgot to move the outdoor scarecrows out the way i got the old barn demolished then made a quick trip home to move the scarecrow out of the way so I could go back to the wizards to reposition the new barn much better with all of that I wasn’t ready till that afternoon to deal with the shed garden harvest before departing to town to collect my ticket prize from yesterday and to hide behind Clint till he left for the saloon so I could steal some geodess and coal from him to finish off my day more star fruit replanting i made haste to the island farm the following day i was a couple of days late for the new week’s weeds so I found one of my crops had been destroyed whilst collecting the ancient fruit harvest i also needed a new key quest i wasn’t sure I wanted to do another skill cabins one believe it or not so I picked Keys Cuisine for a change with my pretty limited resources this would be very challenging indeed any key gems I already had got spent on the hopper recipe and the deluxe fertilizer recipe then I was ready to head back into the valley to get a whole bunch of geodess open i didn’t get any new minerals but I already had a couple of stored artifacts with me to donate i was closing in on completing the artifact collection so to help that along I brought a treasure totem to use just outside the adventurers guild and dug up the boomerang I was hoping for after donating that I still have some minerals to go later i was back to my scarecrow project that evening adding another 12 of them to Cinderat forest i rewarded myself with a trash walk all over town and some pickpocketing though I did forget to shoplift today on day 207 I got to work on the keys cuisine quest whilst also trying to tick off as many first time cookings as possible for perfection i had to set off a new batch of pickles in the middle of that and despite spending most of my day in the kitchen and making some decent headway on the cooking collection there were some ingredients I hadn’t been producing at home this calls for a visit to BS to hopefully steal some more not that he had any today got about a third of the way through the Keys cuisine quest that day and continued with it a bit the next morning i do just mean a bit though i had a birthday gift to deliver to Gunther which finished that friendship and I was not missing out on the first day of Squidfest again this year I came prepared with some squid bait so it was only half 2 by the time I caught the eight squid I needed to get the iridium target give me all of those rewards the main one I missed out on last year was the art of crabbing book which I cracked into immediately i popped home to make a bit of room in my backpack so I could shop from Pierre again still no ingredients and before I could return to the farm I had to bring Sophia a gold bar she was after leing a Stardw Valley almanac made my evening even better but given that I maxed in masteries now I’m not entirely sure why I read it habit I guess i did manage a bit more cooking that night which only added another few grand to my quest progress i might keep trying just a little bit but I wasn’t holding out much hope for actually completing it at this point i didn’t think there was anything I needed from the second day of Squidfest so I skipped it to spend half a day 209 gathering mammogs in the mines i got 12 by the time I was over that task but no new donations from any of them to do something I was hoping would be a bit more fun I brought a fish casserole I cut but didn’t sell because it gives a plus three binning buff and I’m level 9 so that should put me at level 12 i thought I might be able to use it to access the prismatic trash can on the summit path no such luck i was so disappointed seems there’s a bug preventing this from working and I’m not sure if or when this will get fixed to not waste the buff I ran over to the walnut room to give the radioactive trash can a go that requires level 10 but it didn’t work there either no fun and exciting loot for me today I guess the gas counter wasn’t even any better really still no cooking ingredients in here the witch must have sensed my disappointment and dropped by with a gift overnight then I was back in the mines again till the afternoon on day 210 for magma geodess i found some ores that Clint asked to inspect whilst I was down there and from those geodess I got one more donation that just leaves the big site to go for the whole museum on tonight’s ingredient run I managed to nick some wheat directly from Pierre’s pockets without him noticing and found a few bags of sugar in his counter sure I could probably do with a mill but right now I don’t want to build one on the topic of ingredients my last task of the day was to bring Gus more eggs for another giant omelette that special order is always an easy win and the prize ticket from it earned me a few artifact troves i kicked off day 211 with a new batch of wine followed by a visit to Robin to buy all the crafting recipes i’d already completed both the special orders on offer this week so I picked Gus’s clearly very popular giant omelette again i’ll handle it when I build enough eggs back up there was some star fruit waiting for me in the greenhouse and now that this place is full I was trying to be careful about only making enough seeds to replant the harvested spots so I can start setting aside the actual fruit for Aurora Vineyard i’m already a quarter of the way there it was also the first day of the night market there’s not a whole lot I need from here anymore really i just checked the merchants boat in case there was anything useful then I was hoping this would just be more of a quick stop off on my way to visit the island farm but Abigail wouldn’t let me through the door so I just grabbed my free coffee and left i was surprised to find Louis on my doorstep on day 212 he was here to inform me that I can now build a winery if I went from Robin but apparently it’s a pricey one he’s not wrong it’s 200 hardwood 30 Aillion bars 50 kegs and an entire million gold i’d love to have one on the farm one day even if just to flex once I harvested and replanted all of my forage I sorted the rest of my machines whilst I had the hiccups i didn’t even think about what day it was when I walked into Man’s for a new animal i was lucky she was there i was after a new camel a new start to expanded edition that requires the premium barn i’ll name you Boba i just had to go pet them immediately and I brought a welcome gift of an animal cracker i made sure to catch the boat to the island before the start of the night market today i had to replant the ancient seeds that got destroyed by last week’s weeds and to clear off this week’s weeds before they do the same i harvested any ripe fruit there too then when I was ready to check out the merchants boat at the market I was irritated to see that nobody was blocking the door this evening and the shop was still accessible it was just Abigail being difficult yesterday i was happy to purchase the beet seeds the merchant brought this evening which reminded me to get going on the club card unlock i brought a battery to the bus tunnel a rainbow shell to the train station 10 bees to the mayor’s fridge and the sand dragon it last meal so I could dig out the club card tucked into the lumber pile at my house on going to bed I found out I reached level five thieving i agonized over which option to pick for a couple of minutes and ended up picking Robin Hood to potentially prevent the friendship loss when pickpocketing on day 213 the now enormous raccoon family were in need of the next meal delivery some simple veggies got me another starrop tea they are the most amazing little fairy friends i then tried my hand at some magic tricks i showed this guy a card and made him disappear and for my next trick well that was my only trick i was not expecting Mr key to have a go at me for checking the casino trash can but I ignored that and bought just 100 key coins to get away with the bare minimum for the slots i wasn’t there long before I had the idea to warp home to grab a lucky lunch i couldn’t remember whether this actually affected the casino at all but I wanted to try even if it just worked in my brain i bet 10 at a time till I had about 1,000 then spammed that 100 bet until I got a big win or two apparently with that I could afford the rare crow I needed and I just had to get myself the statue of treasure that needs no explanation any remaining key coins I spent on farm totems the best part though that alien rare crow gave me another noggin on which to display a trash hat starfruit duty occupied much of my evening but I did of course loot the trash cans through town on my way to check out the final day of the night market didn’t find anything of interest there what a shocker except for the free cup of coffee for my less than legal freebies of the day I picked Clint which just had some frozen geodess i’m not sure I need anymore on day 214 I found out that Boba the camel was all grown up and started shedding hair for me i spun one into yarn and the other one into the shipping bin being a Thursday I made some trays at the desert mainly after the magic rock candy and I couldn’t resist grabbing a couple more golden carrot seeds whilst I actually remembered to bring the bars i got my artifact trays and mystery boxes open just because I felt like it then decided it was finally time for me to begin putting any amount of effort into the farm decorating even if it meant just starting a sort of decking area behind the house i didn’t get it all done in one night just to make sure I left a little bit of time to shoplift from Robin before bed i was going to spend day 215 decorating again but after finishing the wood decking I checked the traveling cart where I found five triple shot espressos for sale along with a great luck day I took this as a sign that I need to be in school cabins today but I didn’t even bring those triple shots i ate a do drop berry which lasts all day and drank a super jole from someone or found in the trash either way this is something you can usually only get by doing the Jojo route though I was going to take full advantage of this all day buff i had the four precious stones key quest to do there’s one after passing out down on floor 145 that night let’s see if I got the other three I needed in the next morning’s loot review i only got one more Prisy maybe that plus two luck on the super Joacola was false advertising i did get hundreds of aridium and ended up swapping my trinket to an ice rod I got in there because when my frog was eating the monsters it was also eating the loot and we can’t have that now can we still we got hundreds of materials and a couple of seed makers so whilst I didn’t hit my four prismatic shard target I’m still decently happy with the hall those extra seed makers would come in handy for the next fruit harvest even if I’m not needing to make quite so many seeds anymore instead of waiting for the next batch of wine to be done I set up 42 new kegs a day early so they’ll be ready for tomorrow it was another afternoon of hunting magma in the mines but I only got eight by the time I was over that job for the day i came home to add a few more paths to the farm and got in a nighttime robbery from Clint before he gets home from the saloon on day 217 I brought my geode to Clint to open and got the big site on my very last magma geode that’s the museum collection complete again and another star drop in my belly again i got my mystery boxes and troves open for potential gifts as well then warmed up for a bit in the desert where I traded for 87 more staircases and 44 artifact troves given the museum collection the troves might seem a weird choice but I wanted them for the potential of pearls golden pumpkins and the treasure appraisal guide which triples the value of artifacts now I should get a bit of extra profit selling the spares plus I’ve been hoarding some of my chest for this very reason the extra book I’ll keep hold of for now after an empty trip to the traveling cart the wine was just finishing up in the shed it was kind of satisfying turning it over right as it was becoming ready i was ready to shoplift from Pierre that evening but he’d been to Ginger Island but I’ll have to put that off until he removes the box from his counter in the meantime I could drop off the next two dozen eggs for Gus pick pocket some stuffing from Sam bring Louis some truffle oil claim a star drop tea for the price ticket machine go back to Gus with a coconut I forgot to give him and bring the henchman a rabbit’s foot as a gift a goblin friend wouldn’t let us leave without an unlicensed potion brewing class i wasn’t expecting it to be quite so violent but he taught me how to make a marsh tonic which I probably shouldn’t share my knowledge of with the townies but it takes quite a lot of ingredients in exchange for a small speed boost and a much bigger attack and defense buff that could come in handy one day if I remember it exists all of that made me forget to shoplift but between the wine spare artifacts and a few other bits we made almost 280,000 gold day 218 was the winter’s community day is the first one I’ve actually remembered about but the main pull for this event for me was that Sandy would be attending and therefore away from the store i still had to wait for 9:00 a.m for the door to automatically unlock but all that waiting to gain entry was pointless her stupid magic note is still keeping my hands out of her counter whenever she’s out of the desert back in town the book seller also happened to visit today so I brought a few spare books to trade i took an extra monster musk and some deluxe bait but I wasn’t fussed about the spicy eel for the artifact book so I’ll just ship that one for cash given that I’ve forgotten about this event every other month of the year I thought I should probably show my face at the community center especially since they’re enjoying all of my hard work but I wasn’t up for socializing long i was in the farm decorating mood i don’t tend to use the paths made out of refined quartz very often but since we have so many from the recycling machines on this farm I thought why not give them a second life also had to get some extra scarecrows down so they don’t get eaten and as much as I wanted to get this project finished in one evening it was just not possible during the night the adoption agency dropped off a baby girl i went with the name Raven along the same thieving lines as Seagull even if that is potentially a myth scarlet doesn’t need to know how the name came to be i wanted to bring Lance a gift whilst he was in town for day 219 but when I got to the Adventurers Guild I didn’t find him i found Gunther he was apparently asking for something that was too dangerous for Maron to even consider so he offered to put my neck on the line instead i’m not scared i’ll happily show them that I’m the better adventurer here so I told Gunther I’ll happily escort him through the mines at some point we’ll set off on a future day arlon’s going to need to teach Gun through a bit of combat first and I really just wanted to get the tropical curry to Lance i still got so far to go with his friendship it was time to harvest the ancient fruit on Ginger Island and do the weekly weeding seems I’ve forgotten about the muscle rocks here for a while too there were loads to break good thing I did i got two more golden walnuts both this week’s key quest related again so I picked the invasion for the higher reward again and then took a quick peek at the perfection tracker whilst I was there we’re over halfway but yeah I don’t know what I was thinking at the end of year 1 when I said I wanted to reach perfection this year that was never going to happen i paused work on that grind though to work on the pathing again this little section I’ll be honest I put down and picked up multiple times trying to figure out how to align everything because with the way I done the pattern it just kept on not looking right but this night I just settled for the fact that it was never going to quite look perfect and that’s okay in a funny turn of events considering I’ve been doing some sort of decorating the left a catalog out for me to steal i mean it’s just for flooring and wallpapers but hey they’re free and unlimited then I got even better news that night i’d finally hit level 10 binning i’d been eyeing up the environmentalist profession much earlier hoping for the friendship boost but I didn’t realize it was just 10 friendship points for every thousand trash that’s not worth it for me so I’ll be opting for more personal gain instead with the salvager profession i took advantage of day 220’s good luck with a trip to Skull Caverns to take on the invasion again you know how these go by now i did complete the Pepper Rex monsters layer goal as an extra win with the help of a few staircases I made it down to floor 100 in the early evening then carried on down the floors looking for aridium nodes for their precious stones but instead of passing out down here once again I can’t remember why but I left from floor 150 let’s have a look at the loot review a little early I guess there are the other prisies I needed i also got several trinkets I had to throw away but I kept the power egg and you might have already spotted that I got a fairy box it’s probably my favorite of the trinkets it just makes life so much easier i found another animal cracker and I couldn’t turn down the cauliflower seeds for next year but the other notable finds are the auto grabber which I no longer really need the crystallarium the extra seed maker and the aridium sprinkler i left with a couple of hours left to go in the day and we got all of this amazing on day 221 I had the shed in the greenhouse to harvest whilst waiting for the big feast in town to begin i was relieved to see there wasn’t another recipe to purchase at the event today then after saying hi to a couple of people I need friendship with I walked behind the store not to steal but to give Pierre a plate of fry calamari because he was my secret friend this year my giftgiver was Penny who wrapped up a jade for me that’s great actually it will go towards another staircase on day 222 I could drop off my four fresh prisies to get my key gems and it was my first time entering this room with level 10 bing so I checked the radioactive trash can but all I got was an acorn and a scolding i can’t believe it took till almost the end of year two but it was this day I bought Pierre’s missing stock list i had no idea why I didn’t prioritize this one i think it just slipped my mind to be honest i also grabbed the blue grass starter recipe the last one I needed i caught my first clownish whilst I was there for the collection before bringing Lance another tropical curry up at the volcano then it was back to the valley for me to return that stock list to Pierre hopefully now I can still see all year round for dinner I cooked myself another fish casserole i wanted to know if the binning buff didn’t quite work right because I wasn’t level 10 yet last time i really wanted to get into that prismatic trash can but again I still didn’t have any luck not much I can do about that now so I just foraged at the summit and raided PS store delighted to find the stock list already hard at work providing me some out of season seeds on day 223 I harvested some more starf fruit i stopped replanting it at this point because I now had more than enough to drop off the 200 demanded by the Junimo living somewhere around here nothing immediately happened which was weird so I left to make some more ancient seeds on the farm and replace some of the paths by one of the south exits because I missed a scarecrow down here and a portion of my work got munched i added some more stony paths up by the greenhouse for some variation then decided to just line that section of the path by the bridge with the rest of it which meant redoing the vertical section for I have lost count how many times now i do often still value settling for good enough when spending the extra time isn’t worth it but you got to admit this does look better to pat my back for a job well done I stole some flowers and mushrooms from Pierre then carried on pathing just past the bridge because I might as well stay up just a little longer waiting for the wine and jelly to be done we’re going all ancient fruit where possible now so that night I added close to 400 grand to my balance i woke up on day 224 with a sense that something was going on at Aurora Vineyard i was expecting a beautiful refurbishment but when I walked in it was looking just as rundown as ever in the basement there was a sleepy looking junimo that I didn’t mean to startle but they expressed their happiness from my having given such a wonderful gift gift i was hoping to take over this place to grow more ancient fruit and produce more wine i spent all year on making decorations i guess I’ll have to win over this junimos trust over time next year we’ve got a very important friendship to build but for today I need to focus on preparing the farm for the new season and the new year i began planting some sacrifice winter seeds to hold the sprinkler spots for me i know they won’t grow but it means less tending and watering tomorrow then I still wasn’t quite where I wanted to be with the pathing so I handled that which included adding some stones to the animal area so I always have a walkable route without having to wade through the long grass the farm decoration is by no means finished but I’d made enough progress today to be satisfied for now for my last shoplift of the year I swiped a variety of seeds from Pierre this year has been packed with milestones and shenanigans but now I think I’m ready for bed out of our five goals we did unlock all the masteries we reached level 10 binning got married to Scarlet and got the key to the town we did not however build any of the obelisks i suppose I could have afforded one on the last day but this is me we’re talking about i ended up forgetting I actually had enough money plus I do need to have enough for taxes in the next couple of days four out of the five isn’t bad at all though and as for the other perfection requirements we’re almost there on the friendships even if we do get some new ones next year i do still have a lot of fish to catch and gold to make and spend but that just means we’re in for a third year of mischief so make sure you’re subscribed and ready please do leave a like on the video if you’re enjoying Ember’s antics thank you so much to my channel members and I will see you in the next video bye [Music]
I played two years of Stardew Valley as my evil twin Ember. She’s been sent back in time to an alternate timeline, and this time Ember isn’t the only thief in town! We’re at odds with a growing population of crows who eat almost ANYTHING! We’ve also added Stardew Valley Expanded for more townies to potentially catch Ember’s crimes! This year, find out what new tricks Ember has up her sleeve…
Rules:
1. No buying with cash, only stealing.

3. Loved gifts only!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Just rewatched the first 100 days in time for 200 days! Amazing as always, you are definitely one of the youtubers who I constantly rewatch videos from, both for listening while playing along, or to wind down for the night!
am I the only one ho has 2 Infinity Blade one with crusader and one with bug killer?
I dont like using the frogs for the same reason, give me my stuff! I do like collecting them in the fish tanks tho 😁
I'm usually married to Sophia by the time Scarlett becomes friendable
SVE playthroughs bring so much joy to my otherwise meaningless existence.
I'm going to drink cheap vodka alone in the dark and watch this. Thank you.
Hi emma, just dropping by to say hi and i appreciate your work. It was so much fun, thank you for your hard work.
I fully thought you were going to Marry Olivia when you learnt of her Sketchy past Ember being a Thief and all!! 🫢🫢
I love all your playthroughs like this! I've still never achieved perfection like…ever…
Oh man I have been trying not to reset my save AGAIN and now you show me the custom wedding mod
Literally watched the 100 days vid of this yesterday so hyped for this its SOOOO FRICKEN GOOD
Your voice is so soothing that I have to focus on not falling asleep when I'm trying to watch your videos
Stealing the shorts off his body is insane
its so funny that the townies are besties with you despite occasionally having to yell at you to stop trying to pickpocket them
