I Played 100% Of Stardew Valley 1.6 | The Movie

Stardew Valley is like a second home to me. This seemingly simplistic farming simulation game can also be an intense achievement-driven experience. Not just reaching perfection, but also striving for 100% completion in all Steam achievements. This ambition will require long-term planning, dedication, persistence, and a whole lot of luck. Join me for this featurelength film with your snacks and beverages, which takes me from humble beginnings on a run-down plot of land attempting to achieve my first few goals, striving for perfection. The story begins not with a crate of parnips, but with a bundle of hay, and that may seem out of the ordinary for some of you, but that’s what you get when you start a new playthrough on the Meadowlands farm layout. Everything else seems normal, land clearing, but what’s this? You start with a first level coupe on this farm type already occupied by two chickens from the looks of it. There’s also this new type of grass on this layout. Chewy blue grass. It looks nice, yes, but this grass makes your animals happier and they eat it slower. I don’t know about you, but becoming a rancher sounds a lot easier now. So, what is my goal here? All right, so the entire goal with this one is to experience everything I can with 1.6. Indeed. And in this experience, I have chosen remixed community center bundles with the one-year guarantee completion option. But for some reason, I decided on the remixed mine rewards as well. So, this is it. Musketeer Farm 2.0. And I already have my first chest down. Off to a strong start. Good. Oo. This blue grass is also scattered around, so I’ll have to scythe up all the inferior greeny boys if I want this farm to resemble Sanji’s all blue. Down below, I see a giant tree that looks new to me. Whoops. Forget that. I’m looking for spring onions, which is expected of me. Uh, this was not expected. Wow. I’m not finding a single forageible in this one. That’s very unfortunate. However, that is genuinely something appreciated. Finding an eel in the bin. Hello, Penny. How are you? Oh, hello. I’m Penny. It’s a pleasure to meet you. For those of you who have not seen my 300day Stardew Valley video, Penny was my previous wife, not in this dimension. I repulsed some locals. And speaking of which, I can always check this calendar to see the birthdays of those repulsed individuals, plus any festival days. I don’t recall those hot air balloons and three star days in spring. Before I get to shopping, I decide to meet some new people like Mani and Abigail and Pierre, of course, who’s behind his counter. So, a big question. This is remixed bundles. What the hell do I buy? Uh, not knowing what to prepare for or trying to guess what I’ll need, I decide just to buy all the kale I want, and I’ll wait for the community center opening scene, and then I’ll buy what I need. Maybe not a great strategy, but here we are. Here’s my first flower forageable, which I make sure to rip out of the ground as quickly as I could. Literally found one thing today, which is a bit disappointing, to be honest, and not true technically. I see spring onions down there, mate. Be grateful. Shortly later, I have planted and watered all of my kale seeds. But I noticed something. Now, the first thing I am going to actually get with anything is going to be a water well because the watering situation on this one is a a bit rough actually. Yeah, it’s a bit rough with the watering on this one. I’m making that choice because the bodies of water are a lot further away from my farming area. Too far for my liking. I go for a hike around the countryside. I cut down all the fiber I can, looking for mixed seeds while also keeping an eye out for any other forageables. Tell you one thing though, I am having no shortage of dandelions. I’ve got some new ideas to sleep on. I’ve plucked up the flower and it has compelled me to go to bed. Here’s Sebastian. Hey, buddy. Cool. You just moved in, right? I did. Out of all the places you could live, you chose Pelican Town. I did, mate. I did. You know, I was in Dinkham before and I was in Dredge before and before that it was V Rising. Wait, no, sorry. It was Planet Crafter before that and then it was V Rising before that and Dinkham before that again. But I digress. Before heading to bed, I chopped down a few trees with what energy I had left. And in my slumber, I expand my knowledge on foraging. Good stuff. as is the way. I have mail on the second day about Willie the fisherman who wants to give me his old rod. Before that, a quick soaking, a little clearing, and some chopping is in order. The latter was enough to make myself a second chest, which I shall carry on my back this day. My pockets were filled to the brim with spring onions this morning as well. I spoke briefly yesterday to Sam, so he slapped a help wanted poster here today. He wants a sunfish. Well, buddy, I can help you there. I also met Emily today. She can read it on my face. I’m going to love it here in Pelican Town. I walk to all mate Willie on his bridge. And I cancel the cut scene right away. And with the bamboo pull he gave me for being so polite. I fished up that sunfish all boy Samuel wanted. He is delighted indeed. I like how he says he knew I’d be the one to do it despite the fact he’s spoken to me once. I knew you were going to be the one to do this, mate. Oh yeah. And I think I see something here. Indeed, I did. I spotted a daffodil. Be a beautiful. What else is beautiful is selling Willie all the shells I found at the beach today. I toss that chest I’ve been cutting around over here and I get into some fishing. It’s been quite a while since I played, so I’m a little rusty. Trying to get treasure chests and fish proved a bit more challenging than I remembered. I’m rewarded with two pieces of coal. Fast forward and these are all my catches today. I decide not to sell them just yet. The reason for that is level five fishing, which I don’t have yet, but I’m already level two fishing. Beauty. It’s day three, so naturally anyone who’s played this game can guess with 100% accuracy that it’s going to rain on this day. Speaking of liquid water, I collect some stone for a future well construction. I discover that my pre-owned chickens are already grown up this day, and they’re pumping out the eggs. The earth was also pumping out these spring onions. Assume I collect these every day from now on. I’ll also be doing these help wanted requests as often as I can. Today, Willie wants someone to catch two smallmouth bass to keep the art of fishing alive. These poor fishies were unal alive today, but I did do the request. And while I’m talking to him, I see that there’s new bait now for specific fish, like bait for smallmouth bass. I’m going to have to investigate later. I’ll also have to investigate that distant scream. Can I be completely honest? That scream, it actually sounds like Gollum when he’s lost his ring. No, I don’t think I’m going to be able to unhar that now. Lost. My process is lost. Yep. I hope you can’t unhar that now either. You’re welcome. The sight of this stinky fish chest is also welcome. I slept up a storm this night. Level two foraging and three fishing. Best of all, I already have a passive income of $100ish dollars thanks to my chickens. My clearing the next morning takes me to the entrance to my future mushroom cave. I’ll be unlocking that later. I’m feeding my chickens and it also makes me reconsider getting a silo first before a well because if it rains a lot in the near future, I will run out of food for these feathery fellas. I meet Leah and gift her my first gift in this playthrough, a spring onion for an arty type person. A fishing quest on the notice board for the local scientist Demetrius, but this one also had a plus one red ticket thing as a reward. This is new to me. This next strategy is not new to me. It’ll take a short while to come to fruition, but I will talk and make Caroline happy for a short while. I want her to have two hearts for me, which I’ll touch on later. I cast my line into these bubbles to speed up the bite rate of these fish. Even doing that, it took all night to get these three herrings for Demetrius. Supposedly, the numbers were too much. But I caught everything except these guys. Yep, that chest probably reeks. Before I even reach the mines, I have gotten level one mining, also level four fishing. It’s Friday, and again, following a game script, the Jojo people say they have cleared a landslide, which will allow me to go to the local mines. I made sure to enter town today at a certain time as I’ll get the cutscene which unlocks the community center. I also hope to unlock Caroline’s hut in the near future with many daffodils. I then slap this shiny tablet in the community center knowing all met wizard will send me post tomorrow. For now, Demetrius is happy. I fished the only three herring that were in the ocean yesterday. A normal reward, but a prize ticket as well. The ticket said to bring it to Louiswis’s house. This is new. Allmate has set up a prize machine as a way to encourage people to help others. He wants these prize tickets to sometimes be rewards for completing a help wanted request. So today I get 12 carat seeds from this vending machine. This is actually pretty huge. The next prize is an orange sapling from the looks of it. It looks like another fishing day as well. I do want to get level five. Speaking of which, nice. Are you serious? Oh, nice. And we got one Aridium. So, you’re you’re not joking. Wonderful. We’ve actually hit level five. We’ve actually hit level five fishing. That is astounding. That is goddamn good news. That’s really good news. Well, I guess I get to sell all these stale fishes to Willie tomorrow. So, tonight as I sleep, I choose my level five perk, which is fisher. All fish are worth 25% more. I love Saturdays. It’s supposed to be my cruisy day and although it will be, this one is going to be busy. It starts with that aforementioned letter from Rasmodius or the wizard who I go and see at my earliest convenience. And now from this tab, I can see what the community center needs. I see a new bundle in the foraging section, the forest bundle. Not seen moss before. So I did say Saturdays are my cruisy days. The reason is I get my steps in. I navigate the entire map on this day and only on this day looking for foraging stuff because everything resets on Sundays. Sure, I will pick up stuff when I run past them on the other days, but Saturdays I visit every single area I haven’t been in the current week. I also got enough wood this week so I can open the right hand side of this beach and help myself to some corals and sea urchants. By the way, all mate Willie is shut today. So, the fish chest will be sold tomorrow to distract me from that inconvenience. I managed to pick up two or gathering requests from clinch somehow. A flower and some short conversation with Caroline, a spring onion for a starving homeless man, a cutscene to unlock my weapon and the mines. A storage chest here with what I don’t want to carry with me into the mines. And as you can see, I have the forish items for spring, so I’ll have to swing around the community center shortly. I have some good luck in the mines today. Plenty of ladders and plenty of ores. I got past level 5 today and 32 oes for Clint. On my way to him, I drop off everything for the spring foraging bundle and that’s one down. The pantry and the fish tank sections unlock for me as a result. I go and meet Clint and yes, he simply inspects these ores and I have done these two jobs for him, which is a hell of a good day. Before the spring crops bundle, almost the same except the parnip is replaced with a carrot. A garden bundle with lots of flowers. Before crops now has a broccoli instead of whatever else was the norm, a brewers bundle, and this one might give me a headache. Also, a squash, which is the new item in the summer crops bundle. And finally, nothing worth crying about in the fish tank section. So, I got level one farming and level three foraging this night. It’s Sunday morning and Clint’s at my door. He’s happy I’ve been breaking down rocks and he gifts me a furnace recipe. Cheers, lad. Now I need to buy everything I need for the community center. Luckily, this entire field is ready to go. So, I have a blank slate. Here’s someone who proved almost useless to me. Dolores, the wife of Morris, because her prices are so high. I think the only thing I bought from her later on was a rare seed. I guess we’ll find out later. It’s also Louis’s birthday today. So, the old man gets a flower from me. He then proceeds to do old men things. This guy sniffs me and says, “Oh yeah, you’ve been in the community center. That’s really creepy, mate.” But yes, you are correct. Your nose is on point, mate. Elliot has a request for a flounder, which resulted in a prize ticket. I then made my sale to Willie today. I had about 2500 when I started, and when I was done, I had 9,200 or so. I made roughly 6,700 from fishing this first week. I go hand in my ticket for an orange sapling. Very nice. These are usually quite expensive. I then upgrade my backpack, which is such a good feeling. And I spend some time looking at all the bundles and getting the seeds I’m going to need for this first season. I then checked where I was heartwise with Caroline, and I realized something. I just realized that even though I gave him that golden flower, old mate didn’t go up at all with any hearts. That’s a little bit disappointing, Louisis. Like, I would have thought you you would have been over the moon, but no, apparently not. What a Back at home, I failed more trees. I planted all of my seeds, including those 30 spring seeds I got from that foraging bundle. The watering hole is quite a distance, so this takes quite a while, and I really regret planting so much right now. When I finally drag myself into bed, I see something new. Mr. Chi dropped mystery boxes in the world overnight and they can now be found. I wonder what they’re all about. But I wake up to this on Monday. Yeah, I’ve I’ve I’ve overextended myself. Look at this place. Well, better get watering, mate. And I’m done just before 10:00 a.m. Disgusting. At least I remembered to toss down a scarecrow to protect my interests. I think one is enough. I was at Robins and I saw that she had a new blueprint for a big chest. It cost 5,000 gold, but I’m pretty keen for bigger storage chests. But for now, a well, because I desperately wanted to cut down that running time I did this morning. Did you know that Lionus lives out here by choice? Huh? Well, my choices today involved making my first furnace and my first copper bars getting smelted right away. I supplement my stocks of ores by diving into the mines. I find my first earth crystal. I am indeed looking for lots of these. Here’s my first chest level in the mines. I have remixed mine rewards and today the reward is a windsmeire. Okay. Well, let’s see how much damage this little bad boy does. One to five and kel weight. Um, let’s see how this little weapon does. Not exactly using the small boy here, but I recall I can ho dirt in here for cave carrots and clay. The latter being required for a silo. I also find that weapon meh. I like swords and the daggers aren’t my cup of tea. Making it down to level 15 today is my cup of tea. And for some reason, this is a tradition to me. Oi, Lionus. It is tradition to yell at Lionus from the bottom of the cliff there. He will never sleep well again. Well, until I get the mine carts anyways. And as the night finishes, I have a designated mining chest as well. There’s two hardworking humans on Musketeer farm the following morning. yours truly and Robin of course who is working on my well. I am running low on energy giving things and I recall that bug stakes were a thing. I don’t remember them being so costly. This may not help me as much as I wanted. I give another flower to Caroline and I take note that poor Emily is at the same event thing yet she’s standing here all by herself and maybe she was just psyching herself up for those sick dance moves. I dance my way into the mines and earth crystal is my reward. I utilized a small bomb for this clump of copper as food reserves are running dry. At least I’ll be running home with a constant light source now as I found a glow ring in this hair level 20 chest. Good. This illumination might reveal the noisy culprit to Lionus’s bane. In fact, oi lioness old last man is on my porch the next day and asking me if I wanted to adopt this stray dog, which I absolutely do. I call her Lily in remembrance of my own dog that passed away recently. While Lily is frolicking around her new home, I see my first carrots have grown. One will go to the community center, of course. I then notice that they give a huge amount of energy, but I hate eating grown vegetables, but my supply of food is running out with wild harvests like this. Never mind my luck. I make my own luck by buying two new chickens this day. A little later, I’m giving an unwrapped present to little Vincent. Hey, buddy. Here you go. Can I open it now? He says as I give him a a naked flower. Robin has been hired to make me a silo later. And I fish the night away, making use of these bubbles to speed up the process. Having a glow ring this early in the game is actually hugely appreciated. Now, I could get the fiberglass rod, but I hate the fiberglass rod. I’d rather just skip straight to the aridium one cuz I can catch fish fine. just takes a little while to, you know, get them because of the the rod is, you know, crap. But if you can just tough it out until level seven and then you have access to the aridium rod. Yes, it is more expensive. That’s very fair. But I’d rather spend the 7,000 on that one as opposed to paying 7,000 and the additional 1,800 for the other one. Especially in the early game, like in the early game, you’re really strapped for money as well. Oo, big strats. Also, I do believe that’s the lake bottle. They’re almost done. What the hell? Oh, it’s Lily. I was going to say, what the hell is in my bed? Nice. We can finally make the mayonnaise machines. So, we’re definitely going to be doing that tomorrow. Wonderful. Now, Thursday starts with a pastnip harvest. Robin felt it necessary to write me a letter asking me to find her axe, despite the fact she’s 5 m away from me at this very moment. But I do appreciate my new well. It makes watering significantly easier. It saves me about an hour every single day. So, I have plenty of time to pet Lily every morning now and plenty of time to butter. I can see that carrots sell for the same as parnips, yet they give a ton more energy. They were a reward, so I didn’t spend money on them, so yeah, I’ll keep them for energy. Anyways, new parnips have been planted. Unfortunately, Robin won’t accept her axe back here. Nope. Looks like I have to give it to her when she’s at home. I make myself at home in the mines and I scrap my way down to level 25. Now, as I’m watering, I realize that the egg festival is tomorrow, Saturday, which is my foraging day. And I best get that done today, I guess. I make sure to fill Lily’s water ball every dawn as well. And I have crafted four mayonnaise machines so that these chickens are going to generate me even more profit. Dolores, the wife of Morris, is here today, and she really tempts me with an aridium bar, but I fight the temptation to buy this thing. I’m also put in my place. Haley is ignoring me. My god. Okay, fair enough. Doesn’t know me. I mean, fair enough. I What can I say? Well, at least Robin likes me, especially when I give her axe back. I do some lake fishing. And in a treasure chest, I find one of those mystery boxes, an artifact. And at this point, I think I have my first five for the museum. Lionus lies to my face, saying that he finds a lot of hot, fresh food in these bins. And maybe freshish, sure, but definitely not hot. I tell him what he wants to hear because I’m incapable of choosing the mean dialogue. I’m not a villain. Bloody Demetrius might be. He asked me to fish car because the population was getting out of hand due to his negligence. Is that right? Is this your doing? Is it? I slept easy. Don’t know how he does. And I count the amount of stuff I have harvested today because instead of adding to my crop field, I intend to buy enough strawberries to replace what I just picked up. I don’t fall for Shane hiding his moodiness. Yeah, sure, he seems happy to talk to me here, but wait till I dare say hello to him later. Anyhow, 25 strawberry seeds will fill my pockets today. They don’t slow me down at all. I trash these kids at a children’s scavenger hunt. It’s only natural I’d win. A monkey de Armies is here looking for the one piece indeed. And all those strawberries are planted. Before turning in, I clear out the animal enclosure so that the blue grass can spread even more. All my spring foragables are ready to be harvested, so that’s appreciated. I make 30 extra seeds and I plant those as well. And I do this to get my foraging up ASAP. I also had five things to donate to the museum, but I’m one short. The reason it was the earth crystal, but of course I used that in making mayo machines. Although Haley ignored me. Apparently, I’ll be behaving like a s as I give this coconut a flower today for her birthday. Speaking of which, Caroline is on two hearts. I need to go see her. Instead of that, I go see Clint and I get him to break open some geodess for me, or enough at least for one artifact. Abysmal. Not a single thing in this museum. All Gunther should be ashamed. This was and is his job. What the hell is he doing? What I’ll be doing is completing this museum collection for him. Well, nine cauliflower seeds are my immediate reward for five current donations and which I plant right away. I chop down as many trees as I can next. And I discover that books are a thing now. Ooh, what’s this? Failed trees have a 5% chance to yield double the wood. Okay. Um, let’s just grab this and read it. Be a beautiful That is a powerful book. That is an amazing book. Hopefully, one of these bad boys is going to do exactly that for me. That’ll be nice. Yeah. So, it looks like books are in the game now and grant special powers. Well done, Baron. Good on you, mate. I also cut down all the green grass I need for hay, making room for more blue grass to grow. I then make myself a blue chest for anything fishy and another chest for anything special. community center items or artifacts, gifts or requests I know people will be asking for because I’ve played this game for the better part of a decade. My chickens at this point are almost making me a,000 gold per day. It would be if they were all golden mayonnaise, which will happen in time. Day 15 marks the start of the third week of my time at Musketeerville. Mom found an envelope with some money left to me from Grandpa. Cheers, mate. It’s also the start of salmon berry season. I’m level four foraging, so I get two berries from each bush. And this is an amazing early game energy source. I will be getting as much as I can. I buy 23 kale seeds later. And I fish up some smallmouth bass for a request from Willie, no doubt. Followed with some ocean fishing afterwards. What do we get? Oh, nice. A book. A lost book. Apparently, someone has chucked this lost book into a bloody chest and thrown it into the water. Someone really didn’t want to return that book to the library. They’ve gone through the effort of putting it into a chest and then throwing it into the water. My goodness gracious me. Wow. This night I hit level six fishing and unlock something called a bait maker. I am jubilant that it’s raining in the morning. It’s the first time since day three, actually. So sussy Gussy wanted a flounder. So a flounder I got. I check out Willy’s shop and I have a look at this specialized bait meant to target specific fish. I think that the bait maker will help me make this. Also, I thought the aridium rod was level seven. I’m wrong. It was six. I buy this today. And Sazigasi buys this flounder for me. I get a prize ticket as well, which I used to get mixed flower seeds. Funny enough, I never planted any of these seeds in my playthrough. I will make this bait maker, but I see I need to have some iron ore. So, I need to go deeper into the mines then. Level 30 had no reward for me, which gutted me. However, nice. Very, very, very nice. An ancient seed at this point in the game. Wonderful. That is absolutely grand news. That is fantastic news. Yep. I love making me some ancient fruit wines in the future. For now, my glow ring makes these dark levels a complete breeze, but I missed getting to level 35 this day. I pushed as far as I felt I could. What I can do is take care of my lily girl, giving her a good pet and filling her bowl with good quality pond water. My salo has 106 pieces of hay as well, so looking good. As I have a mission in the mines right now, I get all boy Clint to upgrade my axe because I need me some hardwood. Now, Lionus says that he doesn’t trust me, but 5 seconds later, he accepts a salmon berry. So, he’s a hypocrite, I reckon. Forgetting that homeless man, I make myself comfortable in the dark levels of the mine with my glow ring. But, I make it to the iron section in no time. Unfortunately, I think you’ll always get a slingshot at this point, and my little dagger is probably going to be insufficient going forward. But a good start in regards to the iron ore, not the fighting, however. Yeah, now that’s not going to work for us, is it? Oh my god, I hit like a wet noodle, mate. But at least I have a diamond. And also this river jelly thing. I must have fished it up in the river, I guess. Looks decent. Excuse me for a moment. Oil lioness. He doesn’t know me well enough to trust me. It’s fair, especially if I yell at him every single night just past midnight. It’s raining the next day and I remember that it was Pam’s birthday today, the 18th. I had every intention of giving her a birthday present. It is the last day to get salmonberries and for every bush I touch, I get 50 energy as they’re worth 25 each. Also, it is raining, isn’t it? I should realistically be trying to get a catfish quickly if I’m completely honest, if not for any other reason other than just trying to get the community center thing going. Well, that’s not a catfish, but a river jelly. And this thing gives heaps of energy. A sonar bobber that lets me know which fish is at the end of the line. And one I never actually used. But this catfish I will make use of for the community center. Also, at this point, I had forgotten something. Um, that’s rude. Someone I meant. But glad I cared so much for Pam here. I am in fact stealing Lionus’ dinner. I get what’s coming to me. Hordes of bats are cost me and I’m forced to flee the mines. I can’t fight all this many with a crappy dagger. Even my pickaxe is making it very hard to progress. Yet na, it’s time for some upgrades. At least I don’t yell at Lionus this night. And of course, in all the excitement, I’ve gone and forgotten about Pam’s birthday. Demetrius is on my doorstep on tomorrow. And like I said before, I went mushroom cave. Now, before I go to the mines again, I wanted to upgrade my pickaxe. So, I’m looking at some bundles so I can drop some stuff off today as well. But I got a quest from Jodie for a cauliflower. So without thinking, I give her one. I packed away for the community center. So here I am donating some stuff when I have my moment. What did I forget the cauliflower? Oh, I just gave that away. me. I’m an idiot. What can I say? But an idiot that will be better equipped. Clint will be seeing to that. I see to it that the residents have something to admire in this museum. and I work on clearing my farm of these hardwood stumps. With that, I got five foraging and I go gatherer. Of course, it is Saturday and I cast my eye on this bait maker. Some tools are getting expensive to upgrade and I need an influx of cash. So, I need to place fish inside to create my targeted bait. I head to my favorite location, which is the lake, and I catch myself a largemouth bass. And I make 10 bait with one fish, as you can see there. I then spend the day fishing for largemouth bass and using one for bait when I needed to. The bait significantly increases the chance a largemouth bass will be hooked. It is not always 100%. But it’s good enough for me. When the largemouth bass have gone to sleep, I use this deluxe bait which increases the bite rate and the fishing bar size a little bit and I continue to fish. Then this night I made 3,700 from all my catches which is solid. It’s looking very busy in my crop field in the morning. And with that foraging gatherer perk, I’m raking in some spring goodies. I make another 30 spring seeds to plant as I still have some time left. And I make an additional 180 for the hell of it. I want to keep 50 of them on hand and I plan to sell the rest of them. I had forgotten the tea sapling recipe at this point. And no matter, I collected my first lot of fungi from this mushroom cave and I actually read what Dolores has to say about her goods. I smuggled these goods out of the Gautro Empire. Why do you think they’re so expensive? You smuggled this out of the Empire, did you? I see. You You smuggled a potato seed out of the empire, did you? You smuggled a bowl of spaghetti from the empire. So, how long did it take you to get here? And how old is this thing? I don’t even want to know what this smells like. Well, what do you know? She’s a smuggler. Clint is not a smuggler. He’s a blacksmith, as he likes to tell me on occasion. Who would have thought? I sell all my goodies to this fellow today cuz I wanted an immediate payoff, which draws a wonderful, joyful laugh from me. Yes, baby. Okay. Now, with this payoff, I buy the biggest backpack. And as I leave, I forgot to get the seeds to resell my farm. Oh well. I donated a cauliflower and unlocked the mining cart room next. Having a look, I have a lot of these already. Looks like my days of terrorizing Lionus will soon end. And I will end the days of my own terror. No, this is this is disgraceful. I’m not doing this. Like, this weapon is doing absolutely nothing. And because it’s doing nothing, I decide to buy a weapon. I was clearly in a bad mood and I bought the biggest weapon I could see. Oh, hello badge. So, how long does it take to kill you before? One, two. Two shots. Yep. Before it was dozens. I needed this. Apparently, I also needed to find this antiquity shirt. Yeah, why not? It looks like a little jumper. Okay, now moment of truth. I just bought my weapon like 5 minutes ago. Let’s see what it does to me. Okay, at least it doesn’t slap me in the face. That’s appreciated. That’s really appreciated. As I’m sleeping this night, I decided to go till my farming. Now, realistically speaking, I do need to get to level six in the farming if I really want those sprinklers, and I I do want the sprinklers going into the next season. So, that is actually something that’s going to have to happen in the short interim. So, in the next week, realistically, I want to get the pickaxe upgrade and start getting down to level 80 in the mines because otherwise, it’s we’re going to have a bad time. Yep. Quality sprinklers also take gold. Now, these are going to be very happy chickens. Did I just say chickens? Why did I say it like that? That’s not how I say chickens. I have just enough resources to upgrade one of my tools to steal. So, I skillfully choose axe because I still need my pickaxe to get the iron bars. If I upgrade my axe first, then once that one is done, I can get the pickaxe right after. So, back to the mines. And I miss a air balloon sign there. That’s for later, it seems. But for now, I have a good day underground. I have made it to level 60, a weapon reward. And luckily for me, my current weapon that I bought is still better, so I’m happy about that. My mining chest is looking healthy. I also made more than enough iron ore to upgrade my pickaxe when the time comes. I then bought more kale in town today and make sure to plant it before bedtime. In my dreams, I think about becoming a minor for that one extra ore per vein. Nice. I want to make another community center donation today. So, I gather what I have. Would you know it? I already have what I needed to get the boiler room done almost. I just need a gold bar whilst slaying a ghost that can drop gold or I also kill as many dust sprites as I can because I’m a bully. I’m trying to get to the lava levels quickly, but I will make an exception to kill these skeleton boys. They can in fact drop a nice weapon, but I get to level 75 today regardless of distraction. No weapon drop was forthcoming. However, I stayed too late in the mines and I was forced to run past the community center, not dropping off a gold bar. It’s day 24, so my axe would have been ready. But it’s the flower dance, so Clint is off sulking in a corner looking at Emily, thinking he’s going to get a dance. God damn it. Oh well. I make a donation and I get that boiler room done. And the Junimos keepers of the forest are pleased with my efforts. Here’s a decent exchange. Lionus, you can have a berry, mate. This is a great gift. Thank you. I don’t know you. Well, I’m about to push you into the water, mate. What do you mean? You don’t trust me. I feed you every single day. Get your act together. Well, he’s not at the festival, and neither am I. I’ve got work to do. I have a few days left before summer, and I am not watering my crops in summer, so I need to make some sprinklers. I just got to the gold section, got a decent weapon in this box, and I made a decision that I won’t upgrade my pickaxe until the new season. I’m going to run out of time and I need the gold now. It will be slower getting it, sure, but at least I can get it. Also, the heavy masting here is pretty bowler. I have weird jelly dreams tonight. I pick up my axe from Clint. He looks a little sad. He probably didn’t get that dance he never gets. That’s his story. Mine is working towards sprinklers. I’m smelting up a storm this day. And by the end, I have pretty much the iron and the quartz bars. I’m just missing the gold. I have five smelters at this point and I smelt while I gather which is efficient. I was on my way to the secret woods when I catch myself being a hypocrite. Looks like I did buy an eel for the community center from Dolores. I must have sold all the others. I also buy a rare seed cuz I know you need this for a star drop later. I’m making decent progress with my sprinklers and I want to introduce a hardwood collecting chore. I want my horse in the near future. So coming down here daily to collect what I need is going to be a thing. I have a few logs on my farm I can break up now as well because my axe is steel and I spend the rest of the day getting sweaty in the lava levels getting gold. It’s Saturday, so it’s a forage day, but I’ll be coming down to the hardwood area daily for the foreseeable future regardless. As I gather these last spring onions for the year, I remind myself that once summer gets round and the sprinklers are set up, I don’t need to water anymore, which frees up my mornings, which I can then spend a portion of getting hardwood. So, all good. I actually remembered somebody’s birthday and I gave Emily a ruby. Look at that happy face. She is in fact on three hearts suddenly. Very nice. During springtime, these new types of worms dropped me carrot seeds. I never showed it, but here’s the same worms. And now they’re dropping me squash seeds. A sign that we are shifting into summer. And squash must be the new carrot vegetable. Then back at the mines, and what’s taking the longest now is smelting my gold. I have six furnaces at this point. It’s day 28, the last day of spring, and my last harvest of the season. It looks like a good one. Emily sent me a wonderful recipe in the mail. Cheers, love. And I catch myself being a prick once again. Dolores has stuffing, and that’s a new bundle for the Winter Star one. So, instead of cooking this one much later, I’ll get it now. I was also done with the gathering for the sprinklers. So, I focused on clearing more stumps on the farm. I also realize at this point that I never visited Caroline for that tea sapling recipe. So I make myself at home in her humble abode for all of 5 seconds. I skipped the cut scene and I wait for that recipe in the mail tomorrow. I also steal this one tea leaf here cuz I was sure I had to brew some tea for the community center. So win-win. Making tea saplings cost wood. So I go and buy 300 from Robin today as well as clear more trees for my farm later. And by the end of this night, I have placed down the sprinklers where I wanted them. 21 of them. It’s the first day of a season and in the first year and they are always a bit busy. If you’re going the community center route, even more so. I’m having a look at the bundles and I’m planning what I need for summer. At least all my sprinklers are pre-planned and I just have to clean up the overnight season spawn debris. I already forgot that Caroline was sending me this recipe for the tea saplings today. So, good stuff. I give Lily a quick pat and some affection. I ho up my field and I wish that there was a manual command to turn all the sprinklers on or something because you still have to water this day because the soil wasn’t hoed before the sprinklers turned on this morning despite the fact that the soil is damp. Make that make sense. Before heading to the shops, I make myself a bunch of tea saplings. 65 of them to be exact. These will sell for 16,250. This is amazing as it only cost five wooden fiber and two spring seeds or any other seasonal seed. Even if I buy the wood, this is a good exchange. They used to sell for 500 each, but that has been nerfed down to 250. It is still good though, but I really miss selling them for 500. I then spend about 4 minutes buying all the seeds and tree saplings I need. I was looking at my bundles and stuff as well, so I wanted to get everything I needed today. I can’t buy squash seeds from Pierre, but luckily I have a few seeds already from dig spots. You don’t need to see me planting everything, but here’s the field at the end of the day. I plant the apple and pomegranate tree here. They take a full month to grow and bear fruit then. Oh, which suits me. They’re both fall trees and their fruits will grow and fall before the night is done. I have a quick scout for some summer foraging and I find all three of them which was really nice that is really good on the first day. I remember ages ago I did a play through and when summer came around it took me like a full week to find I think it was either the grapes or the spice berry. I can’t remember but one of them just took ungodly long to actually come to be which was really frustrating. I I recall that. Not this time. The summer foraging bundle is done and I’ll plant these 30 seeds later on as I had no space left. And I wasn’t expecting to find them so early. Just so you are aware, I wake up to a fully watered field. Watering is no longer a thing. Also, there’s 168 spots there. By the way, the water well, which cost me 1,000 gold, has done its bit. With this surge of extra time again, I will spend a portion of it in the secret woods daily from now on, collecting hardwood and some foraging experience. I fish up a woodscape here for the community center. But can I say something? This is supposed to be the secret woods, right? I also have to say for a secret pond that’s supposed to be secret from people, there is a lot of human rubbish in this thing like CDs and newspapers. Maybe not that much, but after I got a wood skip, I had a newspaper and two broken CDs on me. That is three things too much. On the topic of fishing, I fished at the beach today to get everything I need for the community center. The puffer fish got away from me, so I wanted a trap bobber. As I was buying that from Willie, he chats a bit, saying that one of these days there’s something out back that he’d like to show me, referring to his boat and Ginger Island later on. For now, I do hook that puffer fish just in time today and catch almost everything I need for this month. I see a quest. Oh, here we go. This is going to be a fishing thing. Check this out. I want to put a bit red mushroom on my chain. I would like to put a red mushroom on a chain. Please deliver it sometime today. Oh, Gussy, you sussy. I’ll get all boy his deadly mushroom tomorrow. For now, I’m delivering all my fish I currently have for the community center. I have collected all the hardwood I need at this point as well. So, I sell any spare shells and stuff that I have today to make the last bit of money I’ll need for my stable, but I wake up to this. This is embarrassing. I lost my lucky purple shorts. I’m telling you because I think I can trust you. If you find them, bring them back to me discreetly. I’ll pay well. Thanks, Mayor Lewis. He says, “I think I can trust you. Is Is that a fact, Mayor Lewis? Let’s see here. Where do you sit?” One heart. You’re telling me you don’t trust anyone else in the town, but you trust me with this very important task. A Lionus also sent me a catfish. Instead of selling it, I have an idea, so I store it. Now, Sussy Gussy can have the best quality red mushroom. Um, but maybe a crappy quality one, actually. Robin’s work is always the highest quality, and I’m ordering a stable from her now. I fished for ages at the lake looking for a sturgeon. Of course, I caught all the carp in the world, and my trap bobber ran out. So, when I finally hooked the little bugger, my trap bobber was gone. So was the fish, so I needed another bobber. I made a detour, though. Mate, I’m not trying to poison you, but you did ask for this, so here you go. And naturally, I bought a bobber. And of course, now that I have, I don’t hook the sturgeon. I do find this book in a chest. The fishing chests now have a chance to yield robe somehow. Guess what? I found a chewing stick. And I’m going to give this to Gunther to ask him, “Hey mate, what what is this thing?” But somehow I’ve been able to identify it as a chewing stick. But I need to go get his clarification on what this thing is. Okay, now after I caught a Brem, I’m clearing more of my farm as summer is going to be a really busy season for expansion, and I need more space and resources. It’s only my first Thursday into summer, and the feeling of not having to water my crops anymore is incredibly liberating. I then liberate some trees from their earthly bonds, but I need to upgrade my tools to help with that resource procurement. I’m early, though. Let me in. Let me in. Nine. Hey buddy, can you please get me this? Thank you. Off to work with you, mate. And no mining then. So, sturgeon it is. I am also tempted by a chest spawn when I hook him. So, it turns into a long- winded struggle, but I do get him eventually. Later on, I need to make a bit of money. I need it for upgrades and expansions. My idea was the tuna is a fish that sells for a decent amount of money and it is relatively easy to catch. The behavior is predictable, I find. So, I go ahead and I make bait for it. But I have to say this day I was unfathomably unlucky. With this bait, I caught garbage and everything that wasn’t a tuna. Oh, look. I got a few. But I had a much better time with it with the largemouth bass before. I fished here the rest of the night regardless. But in the morning while I’m trying to check the weather and such, old made broadcaster says there’s a strange anomaly for tomorrow and that they can’t read it. Strange. Robin is done with my stable, so it is time to name my horse. No name. I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. In the desert, you can’t remember your name cuz there ain’t no one for to give you no pain. [Music] classic. Remember that free time I said I was blessed with before? Yeah, I have a lot more now being able to get to places quicker. Like Robins, for example, I can’t afford a bigger coupe just yet, so I decide another smaller coupe would be ideal. Plenty of blueg grass for four more chickens. I’m doing that bait thingy again with the largemouth bass. And I want to mention it feels like chests have gotten better. Like that’s four amethysts in a single chest. A 12 core and sturgeon row. That’s only two chests. I had a diamond and 10 copper and other ones. I feel like the stuff in these chests have been buffed. Speaking of buffed, I wake up on day 34. There’s a green hue in the air. My TV has no signal. All channels have green static. I’m greeted by green rain outside. It’s like nature is buffing itself. With this green rain, weeds have suddenly become abundant. From this hyperrowth, I get fiber and moss. Gust through mail in my post box is saying he saw the weather prediction last night. And if anyone wants to take shelter in the saloon, they can. Well, it is a strange phenomenon. There’s even new trees that have grown and they look really weird. Even outside my farm, there’s this hypergrow. So, I cut down a lot of this new fauna. That giant stalk looked like a giant fern tree. It is Saturday, so usually I do my forage run, which I am, but I’m forced to cut my way through. The usual paths are blocked, so I’m getting lots of fiber and moss. My pickaxe should have been ready today, but there is no Clint here. Where is everyone? Everyone’s here. Okay, well, it’s a sign from the Almighty. We’re doomed. It is interesting to see everyone’s thoughts, like mass panic and people not understanding what’s going on. I mean, I’ve been foraging and I’m fine. Now, all mate here sent me a note that my pickaxe was ready this morning. Well, here it is. Mr. Clint, you said my pickaxe is ready today. Here you’re showing your true colors of your keeping Emily safe. Just because of this, I think I’m going to romance Emily just to piss you off, mate. Now, interesting enough, where’s the rest of the town’s folk? I imagine. Yeah. So, these guys are in here. Hey, buddy. Indeed. So, a few towns people are at their homes. And then there’s this Chad out here in protective gear gathering samples. He is a scientist after all. He’s also most likely sleeping on the couch tonight. Lionus is outside. Just another starving day for this homeless man, but he does mention that all these trees and such will be gone tomorrow. So, I gather what I can before they disappear. And by the next morning, everything seems to have returned to normal. I collect squash for the first time and it is a multih harvest vegetable. On the topic of farming, I don’t have lightning rods, do I? I get my pickaxe from Clint and I get him to work on my axe next, making it golden as I’ll be in the mines not using that tool. I had received another ticket which I hand in to get three of these mystery boxes. They say they can only be opened by a blacksmith. I do that. I get a beach totem and 20 flower seeds. Also, I think I remembered that if Clint was currently working on a tool, he was unable to do anything else for you, like open geodess. Looks like he can now, which is appreciated. Baron, I’m looking for bats because the wings are required for the lightning rods. In my journeys, I slap a few skeletons with this heavy slow mace, and I finally get that bone sword drop. It actually does less damage, but this thing attacks much quicker, and speed is something I really value in a weapon. Would you believe it? A second sword drops right now. Classic. I also found this, the monster compendium. Monsters have a small chance to drop double the loot. This thing becomes super helpful later combined with the burglar’s ring. Right now, my crop field looks nice and healthy. A few things for the community center have already grown. This is me doing my morning routine, petting all of my animals, collecting the goods, and putting it in their designated machines. I also noticed that my farming skill was growing quicker this time round and unsure why. The reason is hidden in the previous sentence, and I’ll elaborate soon. Rasodius, aka the wizard, cuz come on, everybody simply calls him the wizard. He asked me to kill a squid kid. These are not squid kits, but bats, as I’m still harvesting them for their wings, and I make use of this random monster event to kill as many of them as I could because they spawn right now. My violence encourages me. I have some new ideas to sleep on. My mind is currently on this level 90 mining weapon, the oified blade. It looks pretty sick. This is going to be my new weapon for a bit. I made sure to slap a squid kit with it, of course. And my reward is my first star drop on level 100 of the mines. It reminds me of coffee. More crops are ready for the community center in the morning. So, I think I’m going to do another drop off soon. I think this to myself as I sell some things, things that are in fact needed for the community center. That flower bundle is done. So, I’m happy. But then I’m unhappy because 5 seconds ago, I sold some quality peppers, which are needed here. So, this little mistake made me buckle down a bit more and focus on what I really needed to donate. A Clinty boy returned my golden axe, which is be a beautiful. And I prove myself further in the mines. I want to make it to the bottom just so that it’s done. I then sell some old equipment and weapons to these adventuring fellas because it makes me a small fortune. While I’m here, I peruse where my monster slayer goes are currently sitting. Obviously, I still have a long way to go. My workload could have been helped by this ferry, but would you believe it? She grows my wheat for me, which is most unhelpful. Perhaps I can be helpful to the reputation of the valley if I partake and bring a nice ingredient to contribute to the luau tomorrow. My second coupe is ready this day, so I visit Man’s shop and quickly peruse her goods. I can see additional animal homes and such, but I buy four chickens for this new coupe. all random names. Of course, I check the new animals tab where I can see the friendship hearts of all these animals. This is useful information. It also lets me know if I’ve pet that animal that day with this little hand icon. Lily also wants to give me a hand. Lily is trying to get to the chickens. I got this boss. Thank you, Lily, for your services. But you do not need to get those chickens. They’re fine. Two coops are a little crowded, so I’m going to expand this small enclosure. I mean, there’s a couple of dozen extra grass growing spots there. There is this big section down to the bottom right of the meadowlands that I want to clear. It’s quite large and lots of grass space, so I make sure to cut the nasty green grass. I plan to make a coupe area here. And by the night, I’ve cleared the section I want. But as I’m on a roll, I clear more parts of the farm regardless. This continued on to day 39, which is the luau day. I’ve done this quite a few times, and I always like to toss a golden quality cauliflower in the pot. A fun fact, whatever you throw in the pot will improve your friendship with everyone in town accordingly. The best options obviously get you a nice friendship bump all around. Baron added an in-game achievement for the best outcome response for this festival, so that’s a bonus. Here’s an additional bonus. A storm is on the horizon, and it’s time to fling up my lightning rods for the occasion. Here’s something that you might not know. See me hover over the lowquality peppers, and the community icon tree is not pulsating. But when I move my cursor over the golden quality one, the icon starts to pulsate. That lets you know if the item is required for the community center. So if you have a bad memory and you’re not sure about an item, let the in-game menu tell you if you need it. Hope it helps. These are lightning rods. They are going to help deter the lightning and thunder away from our crop fields tomorrow. Plus, I’ll harvest some batteries this way. I’m using my hoe to dig some dirt in the mines. And this is a pretty decent way to get some clay, which I want for another solo on Musketeer Farm. I also check the resource requirements for fish ponds while I’m here. Back to the mines for one earth crystal for my upcoming mayo machines and working towards reaching the bottom of the mines, which I do this day and I get the skull key as a reward. Now, what is my next steps here in the mines then? Well, I generally need to get iron and copper ore for my expansions coming up in the second year. Um, lots of it. It’s for my cake empire. But the first monster I want to exterminate for the slayer goal is the dust sprites. Poor little guys. But I really do like that burglar ring drop. So my goal is set. It is Saturday. It’s storming. I have lightning rods. I’d love to sit inside and just do nothing. But alas, I have work to do. And I slap some mayo machines into this new coupe. As these girls are already laying eggs, I need to capitalize on this. I chuck a few tappers on trees. So I have a few resins coming in. After tapping these two palm trees, I get to my weekly forage and I find a book. Ooh ooh ooh. Ooh. What is this? I find Jack be nimble. Jack be thick. I just got thick. Classic. This is also a thick collection of corals at the beach. It’s a good day. Making too many tea saplings is also good. And I test out some new things. This deluxe worm bin. It produces deluxe bait. And I think that’s the one I mentioned before that was quite good. I have to wait until tomorrow to confirm. I make some recyclers and I start chucking some trash in these for some extra items. And I set my eyes on this mushroom log. It says it needs to be close to a tree to produce mushrooms. Followed with a preserving jar. I do know a few bundles will need jellies and such. I made 13,000 this day thanks to those tea saplings. These batteries also sell for 500 gold a pop, I believe, but that is also a big blueberry harvest ready to go. I then made a discovery. Hello, Leah. How are you, darling? I haven’t seen you in a while. What should I do on such a warm lazy day? I did not know you can speak to people when you’re on your horse. Yep, no idea. What I do know is that I’m getting a golden pickaxe followed with the first big coupe upgrade. I had some money to spend, of course. I do another community center drop. I like to keep my inventory clear of those items because it can clutter me. The left side of my farm is still cluttered and I’m working on that, but I have set up an enclosure fence for the future. Speaking of farming, I’m level eight this day and I unlocked the keg. I’m going to need that for a few bundles. In fact, I wake up on Monday and this deluxe worm bin has produced five deluxe bait for me. I really like this bait. It increases my fishing bar and increases the bite rate. And this bin provides me with X amount of bait daily. So, I’m going to make a second one. So, when I want to go do some fishing trips, I’ll always have this bait. In fact, I do a largemouth bass fishing trip this day at the lake. And I caught 15 of them. Guess what else I catch today? [Music] Did I get a cabin from chopping down trees? Did I? A birch and table. Sure. Fair enough. A good find. And I made a little bit of a do’ as well. I then made a few crab pots on the Mororrow. I need me some trash. Crabs and trash. Clint has given me my golden pickaxe, which is wonderful. But for today, I’m hunting more earth crystals because I want more chicks, which in turn requires more earth crystals. And for some reason, those crystals were hard to come by in this playthrough. After I got what I need, just some general mining resource gathering followed. It is day 45, and as you can see, I have one small coupe and one big coupe, I buy more chickens as I have the space, and I go ahead and upgrade the big one to the deluxe one at this time. This means again more earth crystals, doesn’t it? But I kid you not, I didn’t find a single one today. I was having a really tough time with them this time around, as I said before. And I didn’t want to keep wasting time looking for them. As I was running home, a memory, a plan popped into my head, which I’m going to expand on soon. For now, I won’t hunt earth crystals anymore. This is another big blueberry harvest. Guess where one of my eggs was this morning to try and get Yeah. Yeah, I can see that. Oh my god. God, I didn’t want to give you the egg. Give me back my egg. I finally see a notice board quest after a few days, like 3 days since someone’s actually posted something. Bored. Good. Bored. Could someone please bring me a red mushroom? Abby, I think concerned ape. I think some of these random algorithm things here should not exist. What does this imply? What? I go ahead and give her the thing and she literally just wanted to look at it. And for that ticket, I got a star drop tea. This tea can be given to anyone. It’s like a prismatic shard, I think. And I finished the day with mining and hunting sprites. My first deluxe coupe is ready on day 47. I don’t want to have my chickens in two separate coops at this moment. So, I go ahead and relocate the ones I bought recently into the deluxe one so that this one is maxed out. This one also auto feeds them so I don’t have to worry about it. This is my first full coupe. It looks good and I do have enough mayo machines for all of them. I fish up a red snapper from the ocean for the community center and I decide to spend a day here in the rain doing a lot of fishing. I make a detour on the way home to the community center. Forget to donate the snapper I caught, but I did spend 25,000 on this random vault bundle. The reward is one crystalarium followed with some shame to top it off. And I forgot the snapper. Oh my god. Okay. Well, I guess I’ll just put this back. In the morning, I have a full producing coupe. All the chickens are grown up and they’re laying eggs. I just have to make sure I pet them every single day to improve the quality of their eggs. I’m out foraging and I see some new faces. But the quality of the conversation is a little bit lacking. There is a lot of people and it’s the annual trout derby or something. All mate in this tent says, “Fish up a trout with a golden tag and I’ll get a prize.” About 3 minutes pass and I finally hook a trout with the desired tag. Tent man gives me a tent kit and I can use this thing outdoors if I want to sleep outside somewhere. It could be useful on Ginger Island. Actually, I donate some artifacts to Mr. Gunther, but I’m never really interested in the rewards he gives to me. I’m more interested in what I can make, which is cakes. I did gather some oak resins this day. We can now make the green tea and some kind of juice, maybe. Yeah, carrot juice, of course. Boom. Okay, these two are brewing. Fantastic. So, we’re going to be able to get that community center thing done um this time around as well. I’m looking forward to it. Really looking forward to it. I vowed I was never going to look for more earth crystals, but here I am. I didn’t find one as well, but some good news. I’m level 9 farming tonight. I shamefully go back to Gunther because I want to grab back that single earth crystal I had donated to him ages ago. I seem to remember being able to do this, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it again. And maybe it wasn’t a thing. I don’t actually know. What I do know is that I’m getting a bigger second coupe and I desperately need a earth crystal. You’ve got to be joking me, right? I’m quite literally just looking for a single earth crystal. Just a single earth crystal. But of course, I’m not finding it. And I’m starting to think that the game is just trolling me hard right now. It is really trolling me. It knows that I want this and it will not provide. Ah, yes. Thank you. So, I have this not so rare gem, but I go clearing the train area before going home as I want a future tapper farm here. At home, I toss this elusive crystal into the crystalarium and on a frequent basis, it provides me with an exact duplicate. I no longer have to hunt these. I will just create them so I can make all my mayo machines I will need passively. I realize something when I watch the weather in the morning. Another storm. God damn, we’re getting a lot of storm. Why couldn’t I get this much rain in bloody spring? That would have been appreciated. But now, yeah, rain would have been nice before I had my sprinkler set up because look at this huge harvest. I never have to water. Ah, look at that. Look at that. This is what I want. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, yes. Yes, boy. Yes, boy. All right, let’s put it in here. Wonderful. Wonderful. That’s going to be amazing. Apparently, it spawns every 13 hours. That is a banger. Now Robin is currently in my coupe working hard, but I wanted to do some shopping at hers. Before I go to her shop, I finally see my maple syrup are ready. I just need to make one bee house for one honey because I do need to make some meat. Bad news. I can’t access Robin’s shop while she’s gone, which kind of makes me sad. Here’s how Lionus keeps himself warm at night. Lionus would like to hire someone to fetch fire courts. This is probably how Lionus, you know, starts his fires and stuff like that. I will get him his fire cords, but for now, I’ll do some fishing. I’m almost level 10, and I’ve been hoarding fish for the level 10 perk to sell them at a higher price. I reckon if I do another night of fishing or another day of fishing, I should reach level 10. I shouldn’t be too far off from reaching level 10. And then I’m going to sell that entire chest of, you know, fresh festering fish to old mate Willie here to expand, you know, the the sales of fish in the area. Yep. I usually start to hoard my fishes for those milestone levels. Now, here’s something new. I’m picking up my pine tars, and this mushroom log thing has produced me a single chanterel. It’s nice, but not something I’d rely on or anything. Now, I am reliable. Old boy Demetrius wants a flounder to dissect. 5 seconds later, I have caught him a fresh one from my rotting chest, and he is most pleased. Have fun doing your science type stuff, mate. While I’m here, I get that blueprint for the bigger chest from Robin. I then request an upgrade for my second big coupe to be deluxe. I spend the better part of a day looking for that fire quartz for that starving homeless man. Hey, buddy. I don’t know that Lionus has money. Have you come to ridicule me? despite the fact I just gave him his thing. I’m just minding my own business, mate. I gave you your fire courts, you ungrateful yuts. Let’s see. Where are you up to? Yeah, you’re on too, you animal. Ah, the calling line is an animal. I continued my mining shenanigans, offering dust sprites and gathering up some ores. Also, sometimes coffee beans. I am keen to make my own coffee room this time around, and I hit level 9 mining this night, so all my levels are coming along nicely. I had every intent to spend the day fishing, but I see a prize giving quest for killing some ghosts, and I can’t say no to that. I find a lot of foraging on the way there. Finding a lot of spice berries at the moment. No, no, no, no, no, Lionus. Back off, mate. I’m I’ve come to ridicule you as I’m stealing your food. Yes, thank you. And mind your own business as you always do. I’m minding my business, which is making your business difficult. It’s about 5 minutes later or so and I have slain the ghosts for Raasmodius and I book it to his place through my farm. Collect another earth crystal and a juice and pale ale for the community center. I collect my price from all boy wizard which I then turn in for a whole damn bed. Ooh, I wonder what that is. Now I’m curious. That’s something to do with relationships. That is for later. Right now I fuss and I cuss as I catch up mostly junk this night. I didn’t level my fishing tonight as I thought I would, but I do have a nice new bed to sleep in. I roll out of bed, quite literally, switch on the TV, and I’m reminded that fall is coming up shortly. I need to make sure I have a healthy supply of money on hand for all the crops I want to buy. Fall is always a expensive season. I have five earth crystals right now. I’m pointing that out because my deluxe coupe is ready this morning. George’s knee is also ready to act up this morning. And I do have a hot pepper for the occasion, plus a pale ale for Pam. Before I get to them, I go and buy 12 chickens from Mani. 800 gold * 12 is 9600 spent this day, but it’ll be worth it. Again, all random names because my care factor for this is quite literally zero. That building is full. Wonderful. We have got 24 chickens. That’s good stuff. Very good stuff. All right, off we go. I make sure to pet all these newcomers as well. And this adds to my daily chores of petting. As I got more animals, I want another silo to store more hay. So, I go collect clay in the mines. Now, usually I never upgrade my hoe early on, but I might do it this time because hoing up more spaces like this looking for clay sounds good to me. My third silo is also placed up here. Pamela got a pale ale today and a pepper for George’s knee. He was most kind and so was I. Took you long enough. Go yourself. Oh, it’s good and spicy at least. Thanks, mate. You are one rude old man. I’m fishing again. Going hard for that level 10 because once I hit it, I can sell this entire chest. And luck is on my side. This day I have ideas to sleep on, which is the cue that I’ve gained a level. As I’m done with fishing, I started clearing this entire forest down below because I wanted as much wood as possible. But I also cleared any rocks and stumps as well because a tighter forest means more spawning points for forageables. This night, I dreamt that I was an angller, making my fish worth 50% more. Glorious. My honey is ready in the morning. So, when a keg is not chugging along, it’ll get tossed in there. That’s also my last blueberry harvest you see there. Now, Gorgi Boy must have been pleased with the pepper because now his wife is asking for one as well. I made a sale to Willie today and I started with 9,800 with the negotiations. Nice. Look at that. Be a beautiful. And we’ve just done a massive harvest as well. We’re We’re easily going to clear um 40,000 today. Easily going to clear it. You may have noticed I had missed a catfish. Missed or done on purpose. I do have my bait maker on me as well. I set up shop at the Secret Woods and I make catfish bait with which I hook catfish. And when I’m done, I have caught a total of 17 of them today. It was a good fishing trip. I then go on a logging trip. I’m clearing the junk, yes, but also stocking up on wood because I don’t want to buy too much wood for more coups and future barns, but I do buy a lot of wood later on regardless. Apparently, a book fell out of a tree, a Stardew Valley almanac, which I read and gained some farming experience, which is appreciated. At the end of this day, I made a further 24,000ish on top of my 20,000 from the fish today. So, it was a really good day for me. It’s day 55 and I have a look at my sapling supply. I have quite a few. I think I need to start that tapper farm soon. It’s also Saturday, so I’m doing my usual rounds. I give Evelyn a pepper, but I also give her a diamond. I want to be in her goodbooks because I want her to send me that recipe to make those indoor growing pots. I kept my chickens indoor today because I wanted to move them to the permanent homes. I will be aiming to have five coups here in due time. For now, that’s my third going down. Later, I’m going down to the mines for a bit of resource gathering and also looking for earth crystals. The crystalarium is providing them, yes, but it’s just short. I will have to supplement its efforts. It is the last day of summer. I will also point out quickly that I watch the television every single day, and every time that cooking channels on, I get those recipes and such. I also realize I have 350 summer foraging seeds. These ones are really easy to make because it only takes three different foraging items. I then enclose my chicken area, and the second coupe has fully grown chickens now, and they have all laid some eggs. I have all the required mayo machines as well. So, tomorrow I’ll be seeing my first batch of 24 mayoes every single day. Looking good. This does require me to pat them and pick up their eggs every single day. And this becomes a massive chore. I sell 300 of those 350 summer seeds because I could. I mean, I could have made some tea saplings, but I didn’t really want to grind out the fiber. And my money-making method wasn’t the tea saplings, it’s the animals. If you haven’t picked up on that yet, I did have a good day in the mines. Look at all that iron ore. I also found a forager hat today. Oh, I got a forager’s hat. Well, it’s a forager’s delight. I shall wear this. It is literally the same thing except it has a little flower in or a leaf in it. Really? Come on. And people rave about this sort of stuff like, “Oh yeah, I’ve got that helmet or that hat.” It’s like it’s it’s literally a tiny cosmetic thing. I’m not wrong. It’s just a hat. But right now, I’m a bit of a party pooper, right? Ooh, a I’m Oh my god. [Music] [Laughter] As soon as I’m having a go at the game for doing stupid things like giving you hats, it gives me a party hat. It’s like, “All right, here you go, party pooper. Okay, I shall keep my very unpopular opinion to myself. I’ve been I’ve been told by the game. Literally, I’ve been given the dunce hat. I shall wear it for as long as I can. It’s fine. Party pooper indeed. But I shall take my frustration out on many dust sprites. This night, those 300 summer seeds sold for 16,500. And I have a decent cash surplus going into fall. A 73,000 amount kind of surplus. And as it’s the first of a season, I do my usual research and plan accordingly. I’m surprised that no rubble has spawned on my crop plot. Just cleaning last season’s stuff and now I’m good to go. Before I head to the shops, I fertilized the entire field. I also got rid of those corns. I didn’t need them anymore. I then see my first apple there as well, which was planned from the beginning of summer, even after all the planning you can do. Exhaustion can make you look like a fool. I’m a father of a six-month-old at this point, and you can imagine I’m a tired human. I bought two times the amount of cranberries I would need. Oh well. I also find that pets would always come and sit in the exact spot that would irk you the most. I wanted my grape trellis things there all along the bottom, but Lily apparently said no. I then realized my miscalculated mistake, but it’s okay. I’ll be getting a greenhouse soon, and these spare 52 seats can go in there. It’s fine. Once I was done, I siphed up all the nasty green grass to make room for more delicious, chewy blue grass. I then discovered Grandpa’s shrine this night, and there’s a note for me. Ottomies, wait for my return on the dawn of your third year. Grandpa, has this note just been sitting there on the the thing exposed to the elements for what could have been 20 years? Yeah, that thing is not standing anymore. This is not a legible note. I do not buy it. So, with 24 chickens, I’m making over 5,000 gold per day, but only a third of the mayo are golden quality. So, this number will gradually increase as the quality does. Here’s a quality letter from Linus. He sent me a mucky rule, which is something that you need for the community center, and you always have to watch the TV for that recipe. And if you miss it, it proves to be a huge headache. And not this time, it seems. I’m petting my chickens when I see something. There we go. Got it. I am so happy I chose to quickly pet some extra things. I mean chickens because we’ve been able to level to level 10 farming as well as a result of it. That’s that’s really good actually. So I was never aware that petting your animals makes you level there. It’s it’s huge actually. I’ve been gaining experience every single day from petting the animals, though I don’t know how much. I head into town and Robin is building that weekly bulletin board thing. People can make the requests on the bulletin board that’s too big for the notice board and which can be usually done in a week and I’d get decent rewards from doing these uh blueprints, money, etc. This week I get to choose to fish up midnight cup for Demetrius because there’s too many or sussy Gussy wants 24 eggs. I will do the eggs for all Gussinator. I give Penny a birthday gift. I was married to her in my old playthrough so I do know her birthday. and I make a donation to Gunther’s Museum followed with this cut scene for Penny and George. But I always find it funny that Gus is just having a stroke down there or something. Are you okay there, Gussy boy? Are you waiting for those eggs? Are you you just going to stand there? When is that fool bring you my eggs? They’ll come to you in the morning, mate. The fool was late. He accepted my request, but I want those eggs now. Yep, that’s what sussy gussy sounds like. And this is what a monkey roll looks like deposited into the community center among other things. I am way off from getting the kill count for these dust sprites. There’s got to be a better way to speed this up. Also, what the hell? There’s a package there. I can interact with it. Can I get in here? Slay a thousand monsters to enter here? Oh, okay. That’s that shall be done in no time. That’s also new. I’ve not seen that before. I shall slay many more monsters. Like legit, I’ll be slaying many more monsters. Now, speaking of which, this fell here is not a monster. Hello, Datafi. Hey, buddy. Datafi can now understand me as I got the dwarf artifacts. And I see he sells a book, so bombs do 25% less damage to me. Very nice. I then go hunt more sprites. This is a slow grind. I reached level 10 farming, so I do take artisan. Remember how my mails were selling for about 5,000ish? Yeah, we’ll see how much they sell for tomorrow. It’s raining the next day, and I see that money has sent me a letter saying that she’s stocking up on auto grabbers. I’m going to have to get some of those. I’m still picking up these eggs like a pleb and manually throwing them into the machines, meaning I forgot about Sussy Gussy’s egg request. Oh well. But regardless, the order grabbers will make life a bit easier in terms of collecting all of my animal goods. I make my way to Robin. It is Wednesday, so um Robin is definitely there. A train is passing through Stardw Valley. Has this been increased? Like I’m actually very curious about this. What stuff drops from here? Really? Um I am going to say this is not a bad thing. That’s quite a bit of coal. But goodness gracious me. This is actually quite a bit, isn’t it? Yes, it is. Look, the train took forever to go by, but I’ll show the last image of what my inventory looked like. I got 23 coal from that train. 22 geodes and two hardwood, leprechaun shoes, and a couple of dozen rocks. Maybe that is a lot better than what I got the last time I chased this train years ago. After my misadventure, I go ahead and get a big coupe upgrade from Robin. More donations to the community center, and this place is actually nearly done by this point. Now, Clint wants some gold o ores for a prize ticket, and that’s easy enough for me. He wanted fresh gold ore, of course. So, I quickly go and collected what I need, and Clint is most pleased, as am I with a prize ticket. While I was here, I got him working on a copper hoe for me. The prize machine gave me four mushroom log things this time. I wasn’t overly excited about this, but I have to collect these prizes in order. So, pomegranate tree next, and then that heart book. Sasi gets his crystal, and I get a warlife for the community center. I was fishing in general, but I needed a tiger trout and it avoided me. It didn’t come out this night. I was making over 5,000 before with these mayonnaes, but with the artisan perk, it is now over 7,000. 40% more, which is ba beautiful. I remember to keep my eggs for all saloon boy the next day. I’m still collecting hardwood daily, and on this occasion, I have leveled, which would make it level 10 foraging as well. Fishing, farming, and foraging. Mining is nine, and fighting is six. I hooked the tiger trout after an unnecessary amount of fishing and Sussy Gussy gets his 24 eggs. I get paid 3,000, but I do believe he will send me a fridge in the mail. I’m clearing down below, but when I chop down this tree, a door is revealed to me. Only a master of the five ways may enter. Three out of five, clearly referring to me farming skills, so I’ll need to max out my skills before breaking through this door. I rip open my mailbox, and Sussy Gussy has somehow stuffed an entire fridge in here. Wonderful. However, I feel like flipping a table because unless I have the second house upgrade with the kitchen, I can’t place this down. Ridiculous. Also, look at how much Dolores charges for a single piece of wood. She’s charging you $900 for a single piece of wood. Goodness gracious me. Amaranth. Huh? Let’s take this because I know what’s face wants it and I just can’t be bothered. What’s her face would be Mani and yes, she wanted it for her cows. Now, speaking of a purple vegetable thing, I see a pair of purple things up there that I need to claim, but I have to befriend what’s her face first. Clint might like me, as I’ll bring him all again for a prize ticket. As I quickly gallop over there, I’ll pay off the vault along the way, so I’ll knock the bus tonight, as well as commissioning Robin for another deluxe coupe. Another gathering quest is done. I grab this pink cake from my mining chest. Clint gives me a prize and I realized that doing those weekly jobs, that egg omelette thing for sussy gussy boy, it also gets me tickets. I have two now. So, the pomegranate tree is mine and so is that heart book. What’s this? Friendship 101. I’m curious about this friendship 101. You become friends with people a little faster. Yes. Concerned ape, you have done yourself. You’ve outdone yourself, mate. Well done. God damn it. I am thoroughly enjoying 1.6. I am loving it, mate. You’ve done yourself quite well. Well done, mate. Well done. Wait, Elliot, do you like this? I think that’s actually taken all mate all the way up to like maximum with a single pomegranate. All mate is now my best friend. Well, there you go. There you have it. Friendship 101. Here’s another example. Uh, eager. And she just went up to green, did she? Where is she? Oh, money. Zippity doo dah. Zippity day. That is now mine. Zippy doo da day. Skippy doo. I’m out of your house. Skippy doo dah. Skip day. Ah, beautiful. All right. Well, that turned out much better than I hoped for. [Music] I’m just keeping this pair of lucky shorts in this in this cabinet because that’s where you keep someone’s underpants. Yeah, you’ve guessed it. I’m going to be using it to win the um uh what do you call it? The thingy fair so I can get a star drop. Oh, just pissing off all mate is just something you have to do. Yep, pro gamer move. That’s in the future. But for now, I start to put paths here at the train station for a future tapper farm. And this is the space when I’m done. I just need to get the saplings planted. I dream up wonderful dreams of dancing jellies this night playing with the old bus. As I’m slapping my chickens with some affection the next morning, I rethink my tapper farm up north. I won’t have many trees ready to be tapped before winter comes along. I also need a lot more wood, so maybe turning it into a wood farm first would be ideal. I’m foraging as it’s Saturday and there’s very few trees left, so yes, I need to make a wood farm. Also, here’s Pamela. Hello, Pamela. Oi. Hey, did you hear about the bus? Yep. I’m back on the saddle, kid. How it feels nice. You poor person. The only person you shuttle back and forth is me. And that’s if I want to go. So, right now, your your job is to literally stand there and try and look pretty. You poor human. Goodness gracious me. Can you please go to the town? After 5,000 attempts, I finally made it to the town. And someone wants me to slay red slimes. I’m the guy. So, you are aware. I usually turn the quarry into my wood farm, but that’s off limits to me for the time being. And the seedling that I usually take is the pine trees. No particular reason. Maybe because the pine saplings are always in abundance and I can make the biggest forests with them. There’s more than 100 trees planted here, I reckon. And there’s nine furnaces in my smithing area. Big numbers. Six is a smaller number, but it’s enough red slimes to complete that notice board quest. Plus, number seven is my lucky number this night as I’m level seven combat. My third coupe is ready to receive its 12 chickens in its deluxe state. Along the way, I get more hardwood. I’m going to need 600 of it in the near future, so I’m slowly expanding my stocks of it with 12 I can get per day in the secret forest. $9,600 was spent getting 12 chickens again this day. Mayor Lewis congratulates me on bullying slimes and I give Haley a gold bar as I am a young handsome man that can bring this to her as the notice board requested. I had retrieved my steel hoe and I gave Clint no respite as he will be working on a golden one right away. I request my fourth coupe to stay from Robin. Once it’s done, I’ll break down that wall and move it into place then. I’m also apparently really cruel. That poor squirrel. I’m He just fled into this tree and I just brought it down. He’s like, “Oh god, no. I’ve been spotted.” It must have been a magical squirrel because he’s gone. I’ve also placed a mushroom block thing there, and it finally conjured up a red mushroom for me. It took its time. I feel that a new look is in order, so I grabbed some stuff out of me chest, and I threw this on me. And I tried to throw pre-made Mayo machines in this coop with chickens. Try to. They’re going to be making me Don’t step there, you absolute Oh, Chhatzo is trying to sleep. Or Chatso needs to move. A fun fact, she didn’t move. And guess what I found in a tree of all things? Did I just find a purple office chair just randomly in Oh my god. Okay, fair enough. Yep. flawless logic to me. What do I do with this thing? I can sit here and think of my mistakes. Oh no. Okay, here we go. When I wake up on day 64, I read my mail and I realize what time it is. It’s Blackberry season. The starving homeless man has misplaced his only basket where he collects things and he wants help finding it. I’m going to help myself first, as well as help myself to a really big crop harvest this day. The blackberries, which I can pick up in threes now, give me 65 energy and 29 HP. They will always be aridium quality, which is such an amazing energy and health source. I have a new choice of weekly quests as it’s Monday. Get 80 hardwood for Robin, which is airmarked for something else, unfortunately. Or get that rare prismatic jelly for all boy magic man. I choose magic. I think I’ve visited the book seller before but wasn’t able to afford anything. But here I am talking to Mr. Hot Air. There’s a few nice books I want like making myself run fast, my horse run faster, or having the price catalog to see the value of things. I think the last one can also be sorted with a mod, but fun fact, I have never played Stardew Valley with mods. I tried expanded once upon a time and I failed at setting it up and I never bothered again. Did you know that Pierre is running low on earth crystals? My reward is a prize ticket. I give him this fake one for my crystalarium. And because he doesn’t kick up a stink, the crystalarium can make flawless duplicates. A Louiswis has flawless logic. The reward this time are bombs. Big dangerous bombs. Wonderful. I invade the mines today looking for that rare slime. This quest always takes quite a bit of time I find. So resource gathering and sprite killing is also on the agenda, of course. But I wake up to this on the morals. One week from today, we are holding the Stardew Valley Fair in the town square. Are we now? It’s the biggest event of the year, drawing people from all across the country to see your undies. I mean, to set up a grand display for you know what I’m going to do. Ah, this poor idiot has no idea. That is for later. For now, I have a golden hoe. I look for more blackberries and choose to look the other way when I see an empty basket right there. Nope. I’m hunting a certain slime and making use of my new toy to get clay. The slime still evades me. However, I also reach a milestone on day 66. Nice. All these eggs were all these mayoes were golden. Every single one of them. That’s good stuff. Really good stuff. Correct. Today, this coupe alone made me $4,788. Bargain. But pretty soon the goal will be five coups, 60 chickens pumping out 60 gold mayonnaise for me every single day. This is the third coupe and these ladies are ready to lay eggs. I was not ready for this. There he is. There he is. The last time I did this quest, it was literally the final day and the final hours where I finally found this fella. Can you look at him, please? Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. You nearly wrecked me. Jesus. There you go. Wow, that guy absolutely ruined me within seconds. Oh, this is just not right. Well, if you’re going to kill them all, you got to get the whole family. rofless. I think I get ruthless when I’m tired. If I sound tired, it’s because I am. Anyways, on a monster note, I’m only halfway through with my dustrite genocide, and I hand over the good stuff to Mr. Purple here. He’s rude as per usual, and I threatened to backhand him. Here’s another number thing for you. I have 219 blackberries. in their quality. That’s over 14,000 energy and 6,300 free health. Outstanding. Now, Old Boy is always rude, but he sent me the recipe to make monster musk, which attracts monsters to me. I have been whining about the dust sprites, so maybe this is my answer. I’m getting over traveling to the secret woods every single day. Maybe I should make some fertilizer and grow some hardwood myself, which I do. I make a small farm just over here. Later, I got another ticket for doing that wizard quest, and I got a sports cap, which I never wore. I did wear this monster mask today, and this makes me quite smelly. And this works. I found a lot of monsters today. And as I’m hunting sprites, I think I found maybe 50 of them or so. I am definitely going to use this item to help me with the monster slayer quests. It is amazing. I’m also at around 11.6,000 with my animal product sales, and this number will slowly increase as the quality improves. Now, Mani sent me a letter saying, “I’ve been looking quite well after Lily.” And because of that, she offers more pets to be adopted, but they all need their own little home and water balls, of course. A little note I want to add here. My animals, I’m petting them every day. I collect eggs every day, and it’s starting to get tedious for me. I am worried because I’m not even halfway with what I want in terms of animals. The auto grabbers will alleviate some of this pressure, however. Now, there are two things I can’t get unless I make some changes to my plan. A rabbit’s foot and a truffle. Sure, I have other ways of getting a rabbit’s foot, but I don’t know about truffles, unless the loris sells one. Food for thought. Now, because I can, Clint can upgrade my watering can next. And I hunt some more sprites. It’s thinking of monster musk, of course. Just be careful on those monster level events. This is a threatening amount of slimes. It is Saturday next, and I do my full forage. This also includes going to the desert now. I will be spending $500 for Pammy to drive me in a fried out combi. But I get cactus fruit, aridium, and coconuts. They’re both awesome. If not for food, I know that they are some people’s favorite gifts. I help myself to a gift as I have now killed over a thousand monsters. Ooh, mapping cave systems. Interesting. So, what does this do? You get a 50% discount on Maron’s items retrieval service. Oh, okay. Sure. Let’s see if this one is actually ever used. I don’t even know if that will ever be used if I’m completely honest. Yes, spoiler. I never passed out once, and many creatures will pass out at the side of me. However, I have my five coups now. The last two just need to be upgraded, but I got the two small ones so I can move them into place. I visit Clint and I tell him to keep the watering can and make it steal for me. And I finish off the last bundle in the pantry section, which means I’m going to get my greenhouse very shortly before getting more coupe upgrades. I got another silo. A four is going to be the number I stop for silos. But it’s 12:00 p.m. I should be heading home, but not when I see so many little friends. Luckily, one of them drops a staircase for me, granting me a quick exit strategy. And I dream of my greenhouse this night. Day 71 starts with a question. Does this train drop anything? I have a feeling because this train is completely shut and sealed that nothing is going to drop. Yeah. No, nothing’s Well, that’s unfortunate. It made me run up here for absolutely no reason. I’m very upset about that. How dare you? You wasted my time. Yeah, that was a Jojo trade and I got nothing this time. I have a new weekly quest to begin. Either I do fishing for Mr. science or Pierre wants 25 gold star vegetables. I take the fishing’s time because my field is already sorted and I don’t want to plant anything different for the occasion. I mean, I do have my greenhouse, but I have other plans for it. So, I’m gathering some things, saplings, seeds, and sprinklers. First up, I mark where I want my sprinklers. Everything gets hoed. I make some seed makers, which will be used to make extra seeds. I use speed grow for these first two. My ancient seed and then the rare seed that I bought from Dolores at some point. I plant 30 spring seeds, 51 cranberries, and about seven strawberries, which I got from sacrificing a few strawberries I kept from spring. And I finally fill the gaps with summer seeds. I don’t plant any coffee beans yet, however. I poke my head into the adventuring guild, and I have about 40ish sprites to slay. So, that was actually really quick, but it is too late to pop a monster musk for this night. So, I turned in early and a strong windstorm occurred this night. I didn’t get time to inspect any of the countryside because it was that Fair Lewis was kind enough to keep reminding me about. I slap this pair of potentially soiled undies, which I’ve been carrying in my hands, by the way, into this display box. And I tell all mate to get moving. I can literally feel the rage emanating from his back here. You he says while trying to be as quiet about it, I’m sure. 750 tokens for my silence is fine, but I won’t give him his undies back yet. Honestly, the hell with you. What kind of request was it to send me looking for your underwear, mate? Anyways, I spend a little bit of time fishing up some extra tokens, which I spent on the star drop. Very nice. It was a good day. The goodness continues. I get Clint to keep my steel watering can and make a golden for me. I buy a stack of wood from Robin and a stack of stone. These prices will increase by year two, so I’ll be buying some before then. I also upgrade another one of my coups. I then slay more sprites. In fact, I get the prompt that I’ve slayed enough. I visit Gil and he has a gift for me, the burglar ring. Monsters have a greater chance at dropping loot, one of my favorites. I had a glow and magnet rings separately, so I quickly make this glowstone ring, which is both of them combined. And I have a nice ring setup for now. I finish the night by starting on that fishing quest for Demetrius, a fishing in the rivers. I catch 13 fish before calling it quits. I’m harvesting another lot of cranberries on the next day. And god damn it, I’m now realizing in the editing stage once I got my sprinklers up and running, I got a lot of rain, which really bugs me. I’m fishing up a storm of seven fish. And I see Marley behind me. It’s Thursday. She’s supposed to be at her counter. Or is this that one day where she goes to the doctor? I don’t know. But her never being at her post as a meme, and it feels like it. 1,500 for Mr. Science for catching 20 fish is a good feeling. I can expect mail from him tomorrow. Until then, I head into Skull Cabin for the first time, but I quickly hook this sandfish while I’m here. I set up a chest at this door and I go spelunking. This cave is utilized for iridium ore successfully later on. For now, here’s a few tips. These flying demons, although they are exactly that, they can drop a rabbit’s foot for you and the red cabbage seeds. These purple slimes, they can sometimes drop aridium ore or even aridium bars. This is why I like the burglar ring. It increases those chances. These mummies can also drop red cabbage seeds. So, another way to get that particular community center bundle done without Dolores. The monsters are tougher, so I would like a better weapon eventually. Anyways, not much this day, but I did hit level 10 mining and I got prospector for more cool chances. Evelyn is on my doorstep the next morning, giving me this garden port and how to make it. So, I’ve been waiting for Evelyn to come and bring me this for a while now, and I reckon I’ll probably make a bunch of these for my coffee. Oh, yeah. Ah, it’s going to be good. Oh, it’s going to be splendid mate. Oh, it’s going to be splendid mate. That mail from Demetrius also included the blueprint to make the farm computer which I’ll make later. Now on this day I’m writing no name to Dolores and there’s a question mark up there. I don’t see this at this time. I do see all boy Clint is done with my watering can and that’s his to-do list for a while. I donate the last fish it seems for the fish tank bundles which is the sandfish and another deluxe scoop from Robin. I then showcase my inability to pour water into a bowl here. I mentioned wanting a better weapon. I know I can get a galaxy sword with a prismatic shard, but that’s left up the chance. Buying this lava katana would help me right now. I’m in the normal mines, and yeah, I can slay monsters much quicker with it. I have quite a few hardwood trees here. I’ve actually stopped going to the secret woods for a little bit now. And I tried this out. It’s all right, but looking at this now, it’s probably better to go to the secret woods as well as doing this. I dreamed that Junimos slapped this big boy rock in the night for me. There’s more rain on Saturday. appreciate it, I guess. And also a quick plan for the future or where I’m currently standing. The first year is always airmarked for getting the community center done because once that’s done, Willie usually sends you a message about fixing his orbo to take you to Ginger Island. I remember that it takes Aridium Bar, so that’s where Skull Cavern is going to come into play. But there’s still stuff that I want to do on the mainland like expanding my animals and the numbers of them, but that is going to take much longer. I still have everyone I need to befriend and max out their friendships with, and that’s going to take a lot of time and effort. I also have the slayer quest left, and that’s just to name a few. Just a quick knowledge dump to let you know where my head was at at this point. Let’s add something else to my plate, shall we? I discovered this question mark tree. Apparently, I can use 100 hardwood to fix it, which is weird. But I relinquish my hard-earned hardwood. It turns into a small house. Maybe someone will move in. question mark. Okay, fair enough. I then spray myself with Monster Mask because I want to see how I’ll go in Skull Cavern with this. Lots of experience from these guys. And my combat still needs to hit level 10 so I can go through that door in the forest. I also thought I got a prismatic shard here, but nope, it’s just a colorful hat. And that was a lot of slimes I killed on this occasion. As you can see, eight aridium all dropped in that scuffle. I have 14 when I leave, and I believe I’ve got one more from a long time ago in a chest. So, I have three Aridium bars worth. Right now, I have footage here on day 77. What’s left in the community center? I have one foraging bundle left, the winter one, of course, and then I have most of the bulletin board ones as well. Also, buddy, how are we? Raccoon hungry. Need fish. You need a smoked midnight carp and perwinkles. That’s easy. A smoked midnight carp. I’ve never seen any smoked fish. But I don’t worry too much as I cram another 12 chickens into this fully upgraded coupe. That makes 48 chickens now, by the way, and one left to upgrade. I have a quick discussion with Willie about this missing boulder. A long story short, ores are now flowing out of the mountains, so we can pan for all. All mate gives me his old panning ball, which is appreciated. In fact, I will wear this thing on my head for the majority of the game now so that I can pan whenever I want to. Robin has started to work on the final coupe. I have long process indeed followed with a hunt for more monsters and skull cavern ultimately looking for aridium all in fact I have enough to make five bars which is what Willie will need when I’m done with the community center I’ve also hooked this midnight cup in the mountain lake for that raccoon Emily is on my doorstep the next morning and she starts talking about how I must have seen cloth by now and that I can use it to make clothing I think I collected it from a fallen zombie yesterday anyhow she invited me to come visit sometime if I wanted to use her sewing machine. I’m I’m sorry. What? I stopped listening when she said feel free to swing by. Mind out of the gutter, mate. You only have a single per winkle, so you can’t feed those raccoons just yet. Here are some other thoughts. That is a lot of chickens. That is a significant amount of chickens. Well, it’s only going to become more. Robin has a quest for me. It’s Monday, so it’s the weekly one, and it’s for 80 hardwood. Either that or fishing for Mr. Scientist. Let’s do the hardwood one, then. A confession for you today. A decision is being made today. A very important decision. I shall walk into this fine establishment. Not to see this prick. Hey buddy, how are we? Welcome to Georgia. How are you doing today? I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Morris. Georgia customer satisfaction satisfaction representative. when you decide you want to become a Jojo member. When I decide, I’ll be delighted to help your transition a joyous experience. Okay. Welcome to Jojo Mod. How are you doing today? Membership is now available with a JoJo membership. You’ll be able to make improvements to the community with the help of our dedicated personnel for a fee, of course. Oh, and another thing. Mayor Lewis promised that if anyone else joined up, I’d let that Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Let’s do it. So, there you are. You can go the JoJo route at any time you want. I can complete the community center till I have one bundle left and then go this Jojo route. We There is a significant reason I’m doing this. Two words, auto petas. I’ll be needing 10 of them. Moving on. I see Mr. Bookman up here and I decide to buy all the movement speed books, the price catalog, and also a combat experience book for some reason. So, I flick through these pages and I learn a few things while I’m up here. I then check my collections tab and I see where I’m up with things. There are still some stuff missing and I’ll be focusing it down later, but it’s nice to get an idea of my progress. I do some general resource gathering, but also a few bat wings as I wanted to make another monster mask. And I also wanted to hit level 10 combat and max out all of my skills before heading to Ginger Island. I’m level 9 combat now, so it’s only one more level to go. And this is what my greenhouse looks like in the morning. Ooh, yes, boy. Yes. Goodness gracious me. Look at this. And every single one of those foraging items has a 20% chance to be double and they’re all aridium. Wonderful. What else is splendid is that money will give me a price ticket for green algae. Sounds like a steal to me. So I make sure to embarrass her in front of her whole aerobics class by slapping her with the offending thing. Now I want two more of these because it looks like I’ll get a combat experience book. I really want to get my combat to level 10 so I can check out that mysterious door. I didn’t get a letter from Willie, which means the community center or the Jojo warehouse isn’t done yet. So, I peek inside and I try to figure out what’s wrong. Oh, no, no, no. I need to go see Old Mate. That’s what I needed to do. Just going to see what am I doing in here. I’m like, I never came here to unlock anything. I had to go see Morris. So, I go visit Oldmate. I had the bridge and the bulletin board sections left. So, I was expecting two sections to pay off, but guess what? Interesting. Ah. Well, would you look at that? So, the relationship, the the bulletin board one doesn’t actually matter. The bridge is the final thing. Boom. Get it done, please. Thank you so much. Okay, that is um cheaper than what I thought it would be. Wonderful. That’s actually really good news. I always thought Okay, I’m not going to argue. It makes sense. There’s no bulletin board equivalent, but I’m a little bit peeved. I could have just waited 5 days to get the winter foraging one done instead of paying 25,000. Oh well, lessons learned. I dive into the mines for more resources and combat experience. I dream about working men this night. I still don’t have the mail from Willie about Ginger Island, but I guess I’ll get that shortly. I try new ways of setting up my mail machines, like an anchor, so I can stand in just two spots and deposit all my eggs. Speaking of which, this is the final deluxe upgrade I’ll need for all my coops. I then run past the community center and I get this magnificent cutscene. Oh, right. Maybe I had to witness this thing to get Willy’s boat mail again. This is my reason for shifting to Jojo at the last moment. The whole reason I did this was this the auto patter literally this. I plan on having five coups and five barns and I want to be able to keep those animals friendships to maximum. The only way you can do it is with the use of that thing. That’s the only way you can do it so far as I’m aware. I mean, I could pet them myself every single day, but I’ll be completely honest, that kills all motivation to play this game. Now, a quick side note as I’m clearing this quarry. This is my second attempt at the 100% video. I actually did a run just prior to this playthrough going full Jojo, and let me tell you something, I got so bored. It’s all good for people who just want to start minmaxing or whatever from the get- go. And to be honest, I did do that, but it was too early to get into that sort of gaming rhythm. Doing the community center in your first year at least gives you that variety of things to do each season. As a human who makes videos, I found the JoJo route boring. If I was bored playing, they knew the viewer would be bored as well, which is the main reason I scrapped the 70ish days I played then. It is different now at this stage of the game. Endgame type stuff is open to me, which is why I opened the Jojo route. Plus, it was my ultimate goal anyways because I wanted the auto pets. Oh, I also got that golden scythe today and I cleared out most of the quarry before bed. I have the expected mail from Willie the next day. I’ll get there shortly. For now, I set a few more anchor mayonnaise rooms to see how I like it. But I decide I really need my auto grabbers as well as I’m hunting all these eggs and it takes time. With the amount of animals I’m getting, seconds will count. As Stardew Valley throws me a bone again. A train is passing in Stardew Valley. I’m going to ignore that one. The last time I went for one, I was sorely disappointed. I think you meant to say sorely disappointed, but understandable with your current sleep deprivation. I’m also lacking a single perinkle at this time for that little raccoon fella. Would you believe it? None of these crapots have what I want, which is disgusting. My steady supply of strawberry seeds is increasing as I’m making seeds out of the goods and planting them to expand the harvest. And I think about that raccoon again. All right, that midnight car thing is just going to have to wait, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah. Stop scratching at the ground. I’m coming. I reckon this there’s three trees. I reckon all three of these trees are going to become animal areas. Yeah, I reckon so. The sooner I get them done, most likely is probably when they’re going to become ready to go. Okay, well, there you go. I go visit Willie and he’s mumbling to himself. So, I help myself into his back room. It’s this old boat that he wants to fix up, and he promises to take me to the Fern Island, or Ginger Island if I help him fix it. 200 hardwood. That hurts. As you know, I’ve been saving my hardwood. A bit more resources for the ticket machine and the purple anchor are required as well. Willie says that he’ll leave this door unlocked for me to bring the materials when I want it. All right. Well, five aridium bars, 200 pieces of hardwood, and five battery packs. We have all this. I can repair this today. In fact, shall I do that? I hold off on fixing this boat for the moment. Like I said before, there was still stuff I wanted to do on the mainland. But now that I have to give up 200 pieces of hardwood, hardwood, which is something I really needed for the 60 cheese presses I’ll be making in due time, it kind of added to my feeling that I needed to finish stuff on the mainland first. Like reaching level 10 combat, wreking of monster musk to help project myself as offending, wreaking thing that these monsters just can’t help but want to bully. Well, I get a bonus drop here, which doesn’t really matter anymore. And there’s the rabbit’s foot. indeed proof that serpents drop rabbit’s feet for any non-believers. And this also slowly builds my stocks of aridium, which I can use for tool upgrades and such, which will be paid by my increasing profit I see each night. Right now, my animals are making me 15,000 each day. Speaking of which, today is the day I go ahead and buy the last chickens I will need. So, I prepare the last mayonnaise machines for the occasion. I reset this crystalarium, which has provided me with all the earth crystals I needed. Its next task is to produce me jade. But what’s Robin going to do for me now? I’m actually thinking maybe the house upgrade. Don’t water the dog. Oh goodness me. I’m going to water this dog. Idiot. Well, Lily is a wet per. I consider getting other building projects done before I start on the five barns because that is going to take a very long time. So, anything else I need first, I might as well get. I also get that last perinkle I needed for that fluffy down below. Hello, raccoon. How are we? Raccoon. Hungry. Need fish. Okay, mate. You You really Oh, it’s a smoked one. Okay. You need a smoked thing, do you? Well, that’s okay. No worries. I think I can go see Willie for that. Unless this darling here has got a smoked thingy. The Dellores did not have a smoked midnight carp. All right, so it need they need a smoked fish. Why on earth do wild creatures want a smoked salmon? They’ve got pe particular tastes, do they? Have you had smoked salmon before? It’s funny. Yeah, my I would like some smoked salmon. Oh, aren’t you a raccoon, mate? Yeah, what of it? I’ll claw your eyes out, mate. Can you imagine a raccoon saying that to you? I’ll claw your eyes out, mate. That’s probably a cartoon synopsis right there. Wonderful voice acting there, mate. As you noticed, I was also collecting hardwood again because with Robin’s quest, Willy’s boat, and 60 odd cheese presses I need to make, uh, yeah, I need a lot more hardwood. Now, what I won’t need more of very shortly is chickens. I go ahead and buy the last 12 I will ever need. Afterwards, I spend too much time with Clint breaking all my property. I have 43 of these mystery boxes at this time. Geodess generally have minerals, ores, rocks, clay, coal, that sort of stuff. These blue boxes, they generally have warp totems, hardwood, flowers, veggie seeds, and actually fully cooked meals, which is outstanding. Hey, that sort of stuff. Within this box, I found four more of these boxes. Okay, so you can literally get anything it seems. Okay, fair enough. I mentioned Willie before regarding that raccoon, and indeed I have seen the fish smoker recipe here. It takes hardwood, but all types of jellies. I don’t have a cave jelly yet. I lost track of time, and I thought Robin finishes at 5, and nope, it’s 400 p.m., so no house upgrade today, sadly. I missed her by 5 seconds. Well, Robin is going to work tonight regardless because once I deposit all the materials here, she always helps Willie with the boat repair. I then drop that 80 hardwood at her shop for that weekly task as well. That is 280 hardwood in a few minutes. Gone. Phenito. I take it easy by catching all the garbage in the world from this lava pool, funny enough. But I finally get this cave lava jelly. And we just need some hardwood. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. My stalks of hardwood have been absolutely devastated. Place fish inside with a piece of coal to create a smoked fish, which is worth double the quality of the double double the quality of the fish is preserved. Well, so how long does this one take? And you know what? Actually, while I’m waiting for that to smoke, I’m going to go ahead and start doing this. I go ahead and cipher grass and this precious blue grass because in winter it all usually dies. Why am I pointing this out? I’m going to touch on this again. Here is a smoked fish. It’s even smoking. That’s great. Uh, that’s great. And this is also great. Oh, look at that. Oh, yeah. So, we can go to Ginger Island. And the first day is not even done. It can be done faster. Yeah. But yeah, it’ll it will be a couple days before I decide to go there. Willie sends me a letter saying that the boat is all good to go. And I am excited. I was planning on maybe making a visit to Ginger Island today. All right, let’s go ahead and make this raccoon very happy. Oi, mate, hungry. I need fish. You can have this one. Nice. So, this is all done. What’s the music here? I’ve never heard this before. Thanks, Bobo. Did this raccoon just call me Bobo? Ooh, nice. You received powdermelon seeds. Now, maybe I find a wife. Okay, good luck with that, mate. A raccoon just told me he’s going to find a wife. All right, these special melons grow in winter. Take seven days to grow. And that is incredibly good timing, actually. Indeed, winter is just about to arrive. Here is a pet peeve of mine about this game. Oh, you’re joking me. I hate that festivals like this cut off half the map. I wanted to do a geode run again cuz I had plenty left, but also Ginger Island maybe, but as I can’t enter the town, I can’t get to Willy’s shop either. I probably could have been cheeky and teleported to the beach, but that didn’t cross my mind. Now, as it is a carnival day, Robin is closed, of course, right? But I did get this cut scene about her making this awesome hardwood bit that Demetrius just shuts down. That is their problem. Now, here’s something appreciated, I guess. Actually, are you are you here? you are here. Okay. You know, I would have liked to, you know, do something else as well, but okay, whatever. Upgrade house. Uh-huh. Right. Festival shut down the entire town. I assume everywhere is closed, but Robin is in fact open. Can Willie and Clint please be open for business today? No. Okay, fair enough. At least Robin can start on my house upgrade and Linus can start his food harvesting with this basket I’ve graciously found and given back to him. He’s got one day before winter sets in. Good luck, mate. I visit the train area again and get this cut scene here about the wizard, about how he divorced his witch wife. He wants his magic ink back and that I should talk to Crobus about getting the seal to unlock this birdlegged thing blocking the path. As I was annoyed at the festival and I wanted to get one more day of play in this night before heading to bed myself, I decided to go to bed early in the game. It’s the last day of fall before winter sets in, and this would also be a decent way to end the current night for myself. My greenhouse is producing well for me, so I will see a decent income from these crops during winter. Of course, my main source is from my current 60 chickens. I cast my thoughts towards the future for a moment, and I looked up what farm warp totems will require. They need honey. Honey is something I can’t get during winter on the mainland. Anyways, here’s an important question. Hey, mate. Have you found yourself a wife yet? Does there have to be another gust of wind for that to happen? Is there Dolores is selling a coffee bean today for 700? For 700? Hey, you know, no, we’re not going to do that. I’m sorry. I got very excited there for a moment, but then I Lady, you’re selling two coffee beans. One of them is 700. The other one is 2500. I see a little bit of a flaw in your pricing strategy. Do you see it as well? Nope, she doesn’t. She just smuggles things. I raid Louis’s vending machine. Get a plant one. And I need one more ticket for that attack experience book. What the hell? What is that thing? Okay. All right. We got to do one more. I go finish my geode bun with Clint. Donate everything I can to Gunther Museum. So, I should get that sewer key shortly. I slap this question mark wallpaper on my wall to see how that goes. Apparently, that’s also permanent. My first tested wallpaper is permanent, and it’s ugly as hell. Marvelous. I can’t stand the side of this thing. So, I go and clear the rest of the quarry, which marks the final night before winter finally sets in. Snow does not stop this museum man. He is in fact on my doorstep the next morning, thanking me for my donations, and he gives me an old rusty key. I plant these powder melon seeds I got, which grow in winter. And I prepare my field a little because maybe with 1.6 something new could be available to plant, other than winter forageables, of course. Remember when I sed up the majority of the fields? Interesting enough, the blue grass actually remains. Usually all the grass dies off. I wasn’t aware that blue grass um persists. That’s actually really nice. There was actually some regular grass there as well. A quick wiki check. All grass becomes dormant during winter, so it no longer disappears, but it won’t spread either. It’s good to know. I chase down a shadow person and I bully him for his magnifying glass, which I can use to find secret notes and stuff. And this is the first time I’ve seen this particular notice board request. Hey, will someone say hi to everyone in town for me? I want to spread a message of pure joy today. Goodness me, Emily. I don’t think I’m going to be able to do that. Everybody’s wearing something new, which is quite nice. What’s this one? Indeed. During winter, everyone gets a new outfit. This is also new with 1.6, I believe. The last reward I got from the wizard, the monster mask, is very handy. So, I go ahead and I choose the other wizard weekly quest, which is to get a rare ectoplasm from a ghost in the mines. I use the rusty key and not a ghost, but I find someone special in the sewers. Crobus, my friend. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey, buddy. A human visitor. This is most unusual. What’s that? You’re looking for a dark talisman? Hm. Now that you mention it, I did have one in my possession not too long ago. Unfortunately, I dropped it while exploring the town in the far corner. Things started heating up in there, so I left in a hurry and sealed the entrance. You seem pretty sturdy, though, so I’ll open it back for you. Just be careful. Okay, cheers, mate. A Crobus has opened the section where I go and fetch that talisman for the wizard. I don’t have time for that tonight. And in fact, I will be forgetting about this for a very long time. I check Pier shop to see if there’s any new winter seeds that he sells, but nope, there’s nothing new here. Afterwards, I go slaying some ghosts, looking for that ectoplasm. It is rare, so I’m expecting a long slog. Lucky for me, I find it on my first day, which is good news. I go and drop it off tonight. Oi, mate, I got you your ectoplasm or your ghost snot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see this in your future? Ah, it’s brimming with energy of forgotten souls. Perfect. Now, bugger off. I shall require perfect silence to discern the true nature of this substance. disturbing the silence. If I were to tell you, there would be grave consequences. Goodbye, you fell creature. Thank you for the 2500. And I will catch you later. Yep. Wonderful dialogue exchanges with all mate always. I dug up another book, the Jack B Nimble Jack B thick book. Again, I’ve read this one before, but this time it’s saying if I read it, I’ll get bonus combat experience, which is insanely helpful for me right now. I wake up in a bigger house the next morning. It looks like the question mark wallpaper is only applied to the bedroom, which is a relief. However, I still sleep in the main room anyways for convenience. I finally have a kitchen, so I can put that other fridge I got from Sussy Gussy in here as well. All those meals you just saw came from those mystery boxes, by the way. The wizard is a mystery. He always rushes me out of his door ASAP when he wants to work, but he sends me the best blueprints today, the mini obelisk. I go ahead and I make it, of course. I slap one up here and I slap another one in my coupe area, making my travel time daily to these chickens that much quicker, which is appreciated. Ah, that makes this much easier. Oh yeah, this makes it significantly better for me. I retrieved the price ticket for doing that quest. I got the book and I flipped through the pages right away only to see that I didn’t level yet. I am a little bit peeved. I was hoping I’d level by now. So, it’s another murder spree in the skull cavern today, but I have a thought as I go inside. I’m surprised I still haven’t found a prismatic shard. Usually, I would have it by now. Alas, it is eluding me. However, a little time later. There we go. Finally. Well, that’s actually good news. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Of course, this bad boy is coming with me into the center of these three obelisks. and I get my galaxy sword, which is going to help me with my combat leveling. Looking at this now, the speed is probably the selling point for this sword, but I am sad to leave the weight and defense stats on the lava katana. It is what it is, though. But I find that the speed buff really does help with the skull cave monsters. I haven’t leveled yet, but look at these numbers. Awesome. Now, look at that. This is what we’re looking at at the moment. This number is only going to increase. Yep. Only 18 are golden quality. The other 42 will slowly get there, adding to the profit. I will say this though, it’s a headache petting these chickens every single day and collecting their eggs. A real headache. I then investigate Man’s shop this day and see she sells new pets and they sell for 40,000 each, which is huge. 60,000, even 500,000 for something. Yeah, that’s that’s very expensive. I’m here to buy five heaters. I’ve forgotten the heaters for the chickens and I also grab five auto grabbers which cost me 125,000 and I’m nearly bankrupt. However, as an ease of life thing, this is going to help me with the animals every single day. Each coupe gets a heater and an autograbber. I make myself some extra bee houses afterwards. And I see this wild animal. What are you wearing, mate? What are you doing? I have to be wary of strangers. Most people don’t like a wild man. Yeah, mate. If you’re going to be wearing something like that, I would be wary of you as well. Good lord. Can you please pick this thing up? Oh, I’m about to end you. I’m about to end you. I’m going to ask Robin for the first barn to be constructed. But I also see she sells food ball setups and they cost 5,000 each. But for now, again, my first barn is going over here. I request all mate Willie to take me to Ginger Island for just a day. A thousand for each trip. By the way, the map has changed. You can see that it’s winter in the valley right now. And we’re approaching a volcano island which looks very summery, which is a big change. Now, I realized something here, and I need to let this play for a moment. We’ll take quite a bit of mtober berries. A distance short. Reach Ginger Island. Now, apparently that’s the first time I’ve ever reached it, but you and I, we all know this is not the first time I’ve been here. So, the sound effect for an in-game achievement is unlocked. Reaching Ginger Island, but the chime that I got a Steam achievement was also heard. But I didn’t see anything down there, but I pointed my mouse down there, didn’t I? Here is my achievement list that I got to Ginger Island on the 5th of April. I’m pointing this out because when I set up my screen recording for the Stardoo Valley playthrough, I did it incorrectly. my Steam achievements won’t show and I don’t know how to fix it. So, right now, future me on the 16th of June writing the script has two achievements left to go, which I’ll screenshot at this point. Anyways, I came to Ginger Island purely to put bee houses here for honey so I can make warp totems later. Right now, I’ve got some bad news for Pam. Oi, Pamela, I know you were looking forward to having an, you know, a clock off, but can you please take me to the Calico Desert? Thank you. Thank you very much. She’s like, “God damn it. I’m sorry. I’ve got business in the desert tonight.” I do. I just want to hit level 10 and I want to unlock that other room. I want to do that before I go to Ginger Island. I even found another fighting leveling book, The Monsters Compendium, which I’ve read. And reading it again gives me more fighting experience. But alas, I still haven’t leveled until finally. Yes. [Music] All right, that is wonderful news. Look at that. And we have now unlocked mastery. I don’t really know what that’s going to do, but I’m going to go and investigate that tomorrow. Like, I know it’s for the next level of stuff, but I’ve never actually really investigated it properly to see what it is, cuz this is the first time I’ve gone there. And when I first saw it, you know, I just quickly jumped on my old game saying, “What’s new?” And I saw that. I’m like, “Oh, yeah, fair enough.” Yep. Naturally, I jumped on my old save file ages ago and I had a quick look. I saw this door, but never investigated further because I was assuming I’d do another playthrough in the future. Right now, level 10 combat, and I take brute for more damage. In addition, you sense that a new way is open. Well, okay, there you go again. I have another look at my skills. A new mastery bar for 10,000 has opened up and I have 177 experience towards the 10,000. I guess the few things I killed after I leveled last night went towards this thing. I know there are mods in the game where you can see every single task you do grants you experience. I never really dive too deep in what does what, but this will become more evidence soon. Before that, I got rid of those anchor setups in the coups, and with the order grabbers, this makes the process much smoother. It’s still a headache every single day, especially with petting them all. I mentioned before that I also wanted to befriend everyone. Last time I played, I made myself a gift chest, and I’m going to do the same. I’ll be putting as many favorite gifts as I can into this chest. Now, for what I’ve been waiting for. Oh, hoy hoy. Wonderful. So, my dear, if you’re reading this note, you found the secret room I’ve prepared for you. Apparently, grandpa prepares secret rooms for me outside of the farm. Within these walls are tips, recipes, and even some of my most cherished tools. All of the very best from the many happy years I spent in the valley. I thought the place fell to ruin because of you. By coming this far, you’ve proven that you have you possess the skill and wisdom to make good use of these powerful secrets. I hope my discoveries help you in your journey to making musketeer farm a shining star of the whole world. Make me proud, grandpa. All right, then. There’s a stone in the middle with the same 10,000 bar and five stars. Maybe an indication I will achieve five more stars worth of mastery. Here’s a breakdown of each mastery on the wall. Combat. I unlock new equipment slots for trinkets, which I can find adventuring, and they grant special powers. I can make my own anvil that can reforge those found trinkets. A mini forge, which is the same as the forge on Ginger Island, and I can have it in my house. Foraging. I can now find golden mystery boxes which contain superior items. I can craft a mystic tree that is set to be a special tree and I can make a treasure totem which summons a ring of treasure spots. Farming. I can now find golden animal crackers which permanently doubles a farm animals produce. It doesn’t work on pigs though. An aridium scythe that can be used to harvest all crops including hay. And a statue of blessing that gives a new unique blessing every single day. Fishing. I can now find golden fishing chests. I get the advanced aridium rod, which can have two bobbers attached, and I can make challenge bait. A perfect catch will yield triple the fish. But each time a fish escapes the bar, this number reduces. And lastly, mining. Gembearing rocks now grant twice the gems. I can make a statue of the dwarf king. Like a farming statue, it grants a mining related buff each day, and I get the heavy furnace as well. It requires 25 pieces of ore and three coal for each use. Yeah, this all sounded quite good, but I still needed to reach the milestone of 10,000 extra XP. So, I won’t worry about this just yet. However, I’m thinking about it when I see someone new. Who the hell is that? Oh, is that is that the kid? Well, that actually looks like Stan from South Park. That genuinely looks like Stan from South Park. I took it easy today as I was thinking about those mastery things, but also my next few goals in the game, and I chopped my entire forest hair while my mind was racing. I was also really curious about XP gains for stuff. It turns out each chicken I pat, I get two experience. On this topic, I actually checked out every single thing I could do over a period of time and see what XP gains I get from what. I don’t want to mention all of them. So, here’s a screenshot of all the general tasks that you can do and their XP gains that you can get. But generally speaking, getting 10,000 XP shouldn’t take that long. How long does it take to tend to my animals these days? Honestly, 9:00 a.m. That’s taken me 3 hours. It usually was 11. That has made it significantly quicker. And then we’ve also gained like, you know, a couple hundred 120 experience. That’s not bad. It’s not bad at all. Yep. It’ll be quicker if I had speed buffs. And on that note, at some point I planted a few coffee beans, and now I have more seeds. I make a bunch of those garden pots, which I’m going to place inside my house because I want my own little coffee garden. I have 14 pots this day. I will have to water these manually, and when I get my beans, I need to throw them into the cakes for the coffee. I’m now reworking my way to 600 hardwood for all these cheese presses that I’ll need. I will also require resources from the mines, which is where I’m at for the rest of the night. Having a golden watering can. It allows me to water all these pots in two shots, which is worth it. A request from Clint. A weird one, actually. Poor fella is socially awkward. But don’t ask someone else to give gifts for you. It will immediately backfire, mate. Look, even a raccoon has got better sense than you, lad. We look at that. He’s found himself a wife. Hey, buddy. Was you right? Hungry. Need fruit? You need dry cactus fruits and powder melon jelly. Okay. Yeah, sure. Powdermelon jelly. And what does your wife say? Really? Yep. So, raccoon wife sell seasonal veggies that are new. Good to know. I am foraging and right now for a bunch of recordings, I’m doing this for some reason. And I finally ask the question. Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof. Why am I woofing? Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof. Yes. Why am I woofing? No idea. And did I stop? Nope. Post-prouction me got to listen to past me woof a whole lot more. I buy a calendar and a workbench from Robin. Though I don’t use the workbench until much later and I get that next barn upgrade. The calendar comes in handy right away and I see that it’s Caroline’s birthday in the morning. Pierre also pays me a visit before I get going saying that I should buy more from him and I’ll be twice as productive and that he will have new sea varieties in the coming year. Here is something I would like. Like for example, I would like to put my eggs all my eggs into a chest and it just puts it into all of the um let’s say mayonnaise machines in close proximity. Like that would be really nice. It would be not a thing though. Meeting Sandy is a thing though, and now she’s aware that the bus service is back in order. I give a birthday gift to Caroline, apparently making a friend in doing so. And I planted a bunch of winter foraging as well this day, followed with another mining run. I collect these powder melons on day 92. I can’t remember what the raccoons wanted with them exactly, but it is the festival day. Once I go down, it’ll automatically become that fishing competition thing. Speaking of fishing, the local angller wants 100 bug guts, likely for fishing bait, and I choose this one. No bait is used in this festival of the ice fishing competition. I had an absolute stinker of a day, but somehow I still won the contest. Just a random assortment of fishing stuff is my reward. It is day 93 and guess what I haven’t found yet? A chicken statue on my farm. There you have it. Now, plus my ancient seed and sweet and berry are ready in the greenhouse today. Unfortunately, my seed maker only gives me one extra seed, which was disappointing. But hey, I have doubled my ancient fruit farm. The sweet gem berry I’ve given to old master granola in the secret forest. And in return, he gives me a star drop. Now, I want these bugs to drop their guts for me because silly Willie wants to make some bait. What is nice is I have read the monster compendium, which has a small chance to double the monster loot, and I also have the burglar ring, which increases monsters chances to drop loot. Both of these working together made this process go really quick. Within a single afternoon, I have gathered the 100 bug guts I need for Willie. But that’s not all. [Laughter] Nice. I was actually hoping with this quest today with the amount of bugs I’m killing to get another ancient seed. I was really hoping I’d get one. And lo and behold, I did get one. Beautiful. I’m going to plant that shortly. But right now, I’m watering my coffee plants. I remember there being a retaining soil fertilizer that keeps things watered indefinitely, but that’s later on with Ginger Island stuff. So, right now, I’ve committed myself to watering these every day. My greenhouse is sorted, and I tossed that extra ancient seed in there. Come to think of it, why didn’t I just put those garden pots in here? I guess I didn’t want to run in here every single second day to gather all those coffee beans. I have got cows to buy, so I go ahead and grab an autograbber as well as a heater. I proceed to buy eight cows because I mistook this big barn for a deluxe barn. Shane the sadsack wants a coconut. I give said satsack a cactus as I was asleep apparently. At least he still likes the cactuses. Luckily, I then correct my mistake by upgrading my current barn to deluxe. The thing is, I’m also stuck now having to manually feed these guys for the next few days because only the deluxe barn auto feeds your animals. Well done. Go me. I then corrected my other mistake by giving all mate the correct nonpointy spherical fruit thing. I see something new on the beach. a notice board about a 2-day squid fishing competition coming up, which sounds like fun. What’s not fun is mistake number three. I forgot my bug guts for Willie. I came all this way and it’s not even on me. I return later with the goods. I have a first in the morning after tending to the animals. Okay, we actually have more golden mayonnaise than the regular quality on this occasion, which is which is actually huge to be honest. That’s the first time that’s happened. Now, while I’m here, let me just have a look. See, we have 398 hardwood. So, we’re kind of going well with the hardwood. We still have to collect all of that, though. Oh, Lily’s out here in the snow. Poor thing. Lily, you can be inside. Like, there’s no reason why you can well, you can’t hang out um inside today. Lily continued to play in the snow, and I read the notice board thing right this time. Willie wants a cactus for a burrito. Classic. I then buy the second movement speed buff from old mate hot balloon. I needed to buy the espresso recipe from Gus and I walk in on something I did ages ago. Oh, we’ve never seen this cut scene. Well, folks, once again, we’re gathered for a very special occasion. A rare visit from a very dear friend. My world famous giant omelette, zesty bell peppers, juicy tomato, rich mushroom, and tangy cheese. All enroed in a blanket of rich fluffy egg. Dig in, folks. Willie, what do you think? H I The mushrooms are a touch chewier than the last year. Is that a good thing? island. Well, it is good that they’re enjoying what is probably foul eggs at this point. Regardless, I buy all the recipe things I can from Sussy Gassi. Willie the chewy mushroom lover gave me a ticket and I got this cow thing. It looks like furniture, I think. Really? Okay, fair enough. It’s It’s Yeah. Okay, that sounds nice. I finished the night hunting bats for their wings so I can make more monster masks. It had been 3 days since I played as I was working on the editing part of my 100% dredge video at this time. I’m also going to be blunt. I was starting to get a little bored with this gameplay choice I chose for myself at this point. Animals were wearing me down as I was still petting him at this point. Yet, here I am still buying more as I’m committed to this play style for the occasion. I get started on the next barn from Robin. I think I really wanted to go to Ginger Island and mix the play style up a bit. I was bought rigid on the mainland, but with every intent to go there, I was sidetracked by this squid fishing competition. Quick guide, catch squid, as many as you can. One is a bronze tier reward. Eight is the aridium tier reward. So, obviously, I’m catching eight today. It took me ages just to get one. So, when I finally did, I used my bait maker to make that squid specific bait. And then the squid came flowing in. And this is the highest reward I could get. Ooh, really? I’ll have all this. Thank you very much. Well, that was easy. It was easy indeed. But I really had my heart set on going to Ginger Island this day, something I didn’t do. As a result, I got turned off the game for about 3 weeks, and I just focused on making my dredge video. When I came back, I compiled a list of things I wanted to do. The daily animal routine was killing my enthusiasm at this point, and I was only going to get more of them. I needed to go to Ginger Island. Plus, I needed to start the giftgiving process soon. Ginger Island first. However, I did have honey on the island, so I got materials I would need to make farm warp totems for the occasion. I give Willie a yell, disturbing his squid fishing thing because I wanted to go to Ginger Island. I start finding these golden walnuts that I need to find here. The kid, Leo, is shy, of course. So, I give a golden warn to this bird to help gain his trust. He seems to have a close bond with her parents. But he’s too shy to approach you right now. Okay. Well, I mean, I could just climb up there and get him. And just like last time, I’ve just been into his house, but then I come in here and just destroy his property. Oh, that’s funny. [Music] That’s not a way to introduce yourself to someone. I then follow this flame sprite, which takes me north, and I gather any nuts I can recall from memory. As I’ve done this before, I am not going to be very specific with the gathering of these golden walnuts. I’ll mention any ones worth mentioning, like finding this bluebird and tossing the aquamarine on the north post here. I need to find three more colorful birds on rainy days to complete this puzzle. I fish here because five of them can be caught like this. But I also unlock my first level of mastery. You’ve reached a new level of understanding. Is that my my thing? Yep, that is it. Okay, so we can actually go ahead and unlock the first thing. That was 10,000 before. That’s now 15,000. So, looks like that’s also going to go up with each level, it seems. Good stuff. Very good stuff. It takes a while before I get the first knuck from fishing. In fact, I get mad for the first time about catching fish. Something louder. Would you catch a nut man? I do not want these fish. Yep. Having the time of his life, it seems. Okay, cool. That’s all good. Um, we had a good day. All right. So, see you, Willie. [Music] This guy’s probably thinking, “What a rude bastard.” And he’s not wrong. He’s not wrong. Goodness gracious me. Uh I think that’s a little bit poor on my behalf. I just abandoned him there. It’s Sunday, so I make a huge crop field of winter foraging this morning as I harvested the previous lot and I made seeds with them. I’ve completely shot myself in the foot with, you know, having to pet animals like crazy on this thing. I hate myself for it, but you know, this is what I chose to do. And once it gets to the point where it’s fine, it should be fine. It’s just a It’s a hell of a grind to get up to it. It’s a hell of a grind and it’s not a good grind. The point I’m referring to is having the auto pettas, but they are very expensive and I will have to get them soon. What I’m going to get now is my first mastery unlock, and I chose the farming one. I tend to these animals every single day. Maybe this blessing statue can give me an animal related buff, which would be awesome. I got that scythe as well, but I realized something. Oh, you still have to make the thing. Okay. Well, that’s okay. I was Okay, fair enough. I was hoping you’d get the statue straight off the bat, but no, you don’t. Well, that’s a little bit unfortunate. I’ll look into that again shortly. I want to focus on my giftgiving chest. I want to cover as many people’s favorite gifts with what’s in here. It’s still a bit of work to do, but it’s a start. Unfortunately, I have no chance to craft this farming statue yet. Most resources are fine, but the moss, the moss, I don’t have 333 of it. I literally can’t make this thing until that next green day, and I think that’s only in summer. I kind of wish I chose another mastery choice, but oh well. You know what I’ve been doing for a bit? Looking for enough cactus fruit to make those dried cactus things for that raccoon. New quests. And as I’m going to Ginger Island, I choose the ginger collecting thing for Caroline. I got the last nuts from the ocean. Collect more as I go. And I find a healthy supply of ginger to ho up for Mrs. Greenhead. And I see that with 1.6. This birdie has been added. If you can’t find these nuts, you can’t pay all boy parrot here to find the rest for you. The more you need, the higher the price. Of course, I’ve no idea what each one is worth. I found them all eventually. I do pay these parrots to bully this turtle to get out of the way. I encourage violence. I find my way to my secondary farm area, which I’ll make great use of later. Another difference with 1.6. I can break these rocks for snake vertebrae on this occasion. Last time, this one in particular was a lot harder to find. I also see birdie, who says it’s been ages since she’s seen someone. I haven’t seen someone in yons. Might as well ask you a favor. Her favor is finding something that belongs to her husband. She gives me an old photograph and I should ask around to see if anyone knows him. I’m going to get back to this later. I continue exploring the island, looking for more nuts and ginger. I have 17 again on me by the end of this expedition. Day 100 begins with a motivational talk to myself. All right, fish me. Day 100. We’re probably going to head back to Ginger Island again today because there is that other thing with the uh the birds and it’s going to be that, but we also need ginger. So, we actually need to actively s seek out the ginger. What a way to say that, huh? We need to actively seek out the ginger. Sounds good. We must seek out the ginger. Some big news. I have scored three extra ancient fruit seeds from the seed maker. These numbers will grow exponentially soon enough. I have been petting my animals every single day. It was a main factor I got burnt out and had to take a break. But now finally, I am starting this autoeta business. I buy to this day. That’s 100,000. Jo patented technology for coups and barns. Keep your animals content but can’t replace the full benefit of human touch. Hand petting can be provided for supplement. So the plan people is that I’m going to get the animals to the maximum um hearts that they can get and then the auto pet is going to do the rest. I’m just going to pick up their their goods and be on my way. I don’t want to be petting the animals every single day of my life. That is way too much. Correct. My original plan was to max out these animals by petting them building for building and then setting them up with auto pedas to maintain their maximum friendship. However, I soon discovered I can drop one of those aforementioned actions. More on that soon. For now, I have to chase the wildlife. And for my cruelty, I am rewarded a ruby, plus any gingers I actively search out. Another example of my cruelty. Oh, that guy’s just like, “What the hell was that?” Now, I have 20 nuts at this point, and I have no need for this Ginger Island farm home at this point. I don’t plan to spend any nights here. I’m way too busy on the mainland. I do clear it, though. Guess what game my partner is playing. I don’t know what fish that was. Jesus Christ. What season are you in? Summer. Um, is it in the ocean? Yeah. That is it between 12 and 4. Yes. Yep. That would be a puffer fish. I don’t know. It went zoom zoom zoom. Gone. I was like, sounds like a puffer fish. I was like, holy I swear to God if the thing can pick up your entire voice there. Yeah. the people were going to be like, “Yep, he knows.” Before turning in for the night, I put two order pettas in the first two coops I had as those chickens would be the closest to Max’s friendship. And in the morning, sorry to bother you again, but I need another favor. Clint, I haven’t even done your first favor. I got I got a new hammer. I want to try it on a variety of metals. Can you smell an iron bar and bring it to me? Clint, you’re the blacksmith. Why are you asking the non-blacksmith to bring you an iron bar? What? Yep. Absolute spas monkey. I also see I’m running low on hay, so I’m going to have to buy some. All my cows are also fully producing bovine now, so it’s looking good. Plus, I finally got this raccoon his goods. They have expanded their shop, and he has given me this raccoon journal. Apparently, he has opposable thumbs and is capable of writing. Well, yes, wheats have a greater chance of yielding mixed seeds. A bargain. but it would have been really helpful in the beginning of the game. Raccoon then says, “It’s time to start a family.” I then buy hay from Mani. Yes, this is kind of expensive, but I’ve crunched the numbers. The animals are paying for themselves. Now, about those raccoons now. They need to start. Is that just going to be like a massive infestation of raccoons? Have I just brought in and helped a invasive species into Stardew Valley? Am I gonna be held accountable for this? Yeah, I’m not going to be doing this this thing here. It It could be something good, but I just I’m busy. I’m busy doing this place. It’s good stuff. Yep. No time for the night markets. I recalled I needed a bomb to blow up this border across this bridge to help a certain someone. I get parrots to build me a bridge here. I am capable of doing something like this, but okay, sure. I was looking for panning spots because maybe it’ll have the resources I need to make a bomb. I didn’t find any, so I went into the volcano dungeon for a second, made a bomb, and I blew up some of the countryside. Nice, mate. Oh, thank you. I thought I was done for. I’ve been stuck in this cave for months. One more cave mushroom cell and I would have gone off the deep end. So rubbery. You and Willie won’t get along well cuz uh Willie likes it rubbery. Anyways, I’m Professor Snail. I’ve been conducting a survey on this island and I will meet you over in your tent in 5 seconds, mate. Goodbye. I know your story. Don’t worry. Indeed. Second video. I have done this before. Oldmate is looking for bones data and such and I will help him out. I provide some information about purple flowers on the island and I got it correct. But my random guess about purple starfish on the island is incorrect. I’m going to try again tomorrow. In a week’s time, it is the winter’s feast or something, and I need to get Sam a gift. I think he likes Joja Cola. Now, since helping those raccoons, the shop has expanded, right? Yeah, the shop just expanded by one thing, but you gave me this thing, so that’s kind of like why bother. Would you like to buy the same thing that you just that I gave you before? No, not really. It’s it’s that’s I’m fine, thank you. I’m polite as always and today I’m struggling to find the gingers on Ginger Island. I hope I find the amount I’m supposed to collect. I’ve been collecting fossils already and I gathered them up yesterday so I can give them to Mr. Snail again. I failed this purple starfish one. We’ll be looking at my old video next time to get it right. To the north of the map, I will venture into the volcano dungeon proper. For anyone who hasn’t done this place, the monsters are quite tough in here. There are only nine levels, but there is no elevator. Only way out is through or back the way you came, unless you bring warp totems like I do. These monsters drop cinder shards, which you can spend at a vendor at level 5. Also, killing monsters, destroying rocks, or breaking crates can yield a total of 17 nuts in here. I’m on level five. That dwarf is the vendor, and you can pay this parrot five walnuts to make an escape path here. This is the only escape path available this way. The vendor has a few equipment pieces, but also a diamond hunter book, making all regular rocks have a chance to drop diamonds, which is damn good. It costs 10 diamonds, though. You need to use your watering cannon here to make walkable paths on the lava. Every single ore type, including aridium ore, is present in this volcano. Once you pass through level 9, the 10th floor is the top. A few nuts are here, a prismatic shard and a chest. But most importantly, the forge is up here to make augmentations to your weapons, tools, and rings. I will touch on this again later. Once you leave going along this path, you can open this gate from this side and you can now permanently visit the forge whenever you want. I did this by chance on my first attempt, which was actually good stuff. A quick side note, make sure to make a path all the way to the left of the entrance room because you’re going to find two mischievous nuts over here. Construction of my third barn has begun. I buy a few stacks of wood and stone. Too much actually as I miscalculated. I only bought 10 cows today instead of 12. In the long run, it doesn’t really matter though. This cow’s called bone. Who calls her cow bone? I do another drop off at Gunther’s wonderful collections of I helped him. And I helped myself to more gingers. Last I checked, this parrot wanted 1.7 million or something. It’s now 830,000. So, making progress with nut collecting, especially when I answered this questionnaire correctly, finally. Now, Saturdays have always been my foraging days. I no longer really need to do that. I do forage for gingers, of course, and today it is a good day for it. I spend the evenings in the volcano, of course. And from this particular specimen, walnut, yes, but also a mango sapling, which reminds me, I haven’t planted any trees in my greenhouse. I am almost done with this quest for Caroline as well. It’s about 1 week left of winter, so after I harvest this entire field of winter forageables, which I’m doing right now, I will make enough seeds so that I can replant the entire field. In this case, I don’t want to sell the seeds, but the forageables themselves. I might get around a 100,000 for this by winter’s end. I’m spending a lot of time right now doing my thing on Ginger Island, of course. Once I complete this quest for Caroline, I’ll ease off a bit, but I spend walnuts where I need to, like this transportation service. It’s for my convenience. I only have nine gingers left to collect at the end of day 105. And it’s Monday, and that means there’s new quests here. For all the trash talk I do towards Liners, I am absolutely doing this garbage collection quest for him. Well, when I say I’ll be doing this, the most I’ll be doing is tossing bait into these crab pots daily and collecting the animals and garbage from them. The garbage collector counts towards this quest. By the way, another person quest I have coming up soon involves that friendship 101. I really need to start this friendship giftgiving saga. I’m not looking forward to it. Now, while I’m here on the island, I get this little holiday house because why not? And I slap this flame jelly to get what I need. Caroline’s quest is finally done. and I don’t plan to stay here. I’ve always wanted to make these bigger chests. They are quite chunky. I love them. And I think I count 70 inventory slots there. Also, my animal products are netting me 26,000 per day now because I completed Caroline’s thing. She sent me the recipe to make the solar panel. I’m definitely not a fan when chucking an ancient seed into the seat maker and it gives me this. Come on, pal. Oh, you’re kidding me. I hate it when it does that. I absolutely hate it when it does that. Such a waste. Okay, it’s time to start the gift giving process. This chest here has most people’s favorite gift, or at least a light gift, and a lot of them overlap, which is quite nice. I systematically go around the entire map finding every single NPC and giving them their desired gift. I’ve played the game for years, so I kind of know what everyone likes by this point, but I always have a list for myself regardless. And during this time, some days can get very long because I trip over dozens of cutscenes, often back to back, which is a pain. I made it clear before. I am incapable of ever being mean to an NPC, so I always give the positive responses to any questions and events. Sometimes I’m lucky and it’s someone’s birthday as well, which works in my favor. These sessions at the beginning can go almost the entire day, so when I check the gift status the next morning, I can see who I missed. You can give two gifts to people per week and three if it’s their birthday. I will be aiming to do this two to three times a week. I’ve got big news. The first coupe with the auto pedal, the chickens are all maxed out and I can tell you it feels incredibly liberating not having to pet them as well. The auto pedal will now keep these animals at their maximum and I don’t have to worry about their friendship loss which affects their egg quality. I grab some extra hay from Mani plus another order grabber and a heater as barn number three will be ready soon. It is the second day of this week giving gifts. I see myself doing this quite a while actually, especially when some NPCs lock themselves away for the majority of the day. I mean, check this out. Okay, actually, you know what? We can give him this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, you’re kidding me, mate. Yep. What a prick. And apparently, I finally gave a certain stone to Emily that Clint wanted me the gift to her. Completely forgot about that. and she only hears that I got the gift from Clint’s shop. So, backfired for him regardless. Now, I have been thinking for a while. I wonder if Eric Baron has some kind of plan in motion where you can potentially get like assisted help on the farm, like you hire someone to come do your stuff and things. Cuz I remember, for example, Kent is, you know, the guy who starts wandering around. He’s the war veteran, but then he comes back and doesn’t really know where he fits. So, I’m like, hm, can that guy be programmed to come and be your assistant on the farm? You pay him a percentage of the work that he does or something like that. Can that be a thing? Cuz that would be pretty sweet. Maybe. But for now, I’ve been helping Lionus and I got four more pieces of trash to collect. It’s the winter festival and Sam gets his Jojacola cuz he’s the only fellow that likes it. Robin is my secret giftgiver and I get 99 pieces of wood from her, which is appreciated. Speaking of which, I only have 300 of it at this time. Those prices at Robin’s store are due to go up in a few days. Maybe I need to go buy a few more stacks. For now, I do my thing. I’m yet to really get an idea where everyone is at at what times. Eventually, I find a day where I can get almost everyone on a single day. But for now, I do a lot of searching. And of course, once they start to max out, that would be an NPC off the list. So, I’ll get there eventually. Now, here is some bugged out dialogue from Elliot. He just said, “Please excuse the mess in my cabin. I didn’t expect anyone to enter. Mate, we’re not in your cabin. All right, cool. Yeah, this is going to get close to being done. After each of these gift days, I do a little bit of resource gathering. I’m going to need a lot of materials, but I discover a bonus with my play style. All right, so now we’re making 31,000, at least 30,000 per day with our animal products. That’s pretty damn good. That’s very nice. [Music] That’s very good. Aside from my jovial sounds, I will eventually have the income to literally buy all resources that I need in the new barn that’s just been completed. I don’t just get cows, I also get a pig, goat, and sheep because remember, I still need to sell one of everything to complete the game. It is almost the end of the first year, so I buy as much wood and stone as I can at this time while it’s cheaper. I then get round to dumping all this rubbish I collected for Linus in this recycler up here. Now, about that gift giving, I think I’m going to redact what I said before. I think if I don’t find them in the first two days, like I’ll give it 3 days. I’m not going to spend 5 days trying to find these people. That’s ridiculous. Yeah, this first week was rough. The new week begins tomorrow, so gifts were full on. Lionus sends me the recipe to make fiber seeds for helping him clean up the waters, which is one of my favorite seeds in the game. Actually, this is an entire field full of winter goodies, all of which will be sold. So, Sunday, day number one of giving gifts, watching cutscenes, a lot of cutscenes. Emily’s cutcenes are a little strange to me. This cutscene is her dream. I bear witness to her dream. Okay, fair enough. Also, here’s a wild man. Line is you insane wild man. Goodness gracious me. It’s night time and well, to be fair, it’s a cold bath. Health benefits. I know the water’s never been cleaner, man. I didn’t even clean these waters. And the same goes for me. Lionus’s gift to me for apparently cleaning up those waters will come in handy. I make 100 fiber seeds this night. And my final sales for this year, 31,000 from all the animals. And it looks like all that foraging stuff actually made me 75,000. Decent money going into the new year. It is the first day of spring year 2. Kent is on my doorstep and he introduces himself. I spoke briefly about him before and how I should employ him. It was to look after my animals. Speaking of which, they need to start going outside, but I still need to pet them, meaning their doors need to be closed each night. Yeah, I don’t see myself doing that. I am actually starting to wonder if I can rely solely on the blue grass to get all of my animals up in terms of the friendship. I think maybe I can. I just have to do a little bit of research there because this is this is silly. This is so silly. Like this is so rough on me. Maybe the blue grass and the auto pettis can actually get my animals friendships up without my interference. Anyways, I make my way to Pierre. I can’t believe it, but I was actually doing hard math at this point on what I was going to need this year. I was going to sell everything, but some crops needed to be sold in 15s because of that poly culture quest. You know what I decided? Nice. So, we have 100 of each sapling. Beautiful. Look at that. That’s looking very good. That’s actually looking marvelous. And I believe that’s all we’re going to need. You may have also noticed I had 24 garlics in a separate stack. Yep, that’s for Ginger Island. Speaking of Ginger Island, this week’s quest is the paleontologist one. Collect 100 bones. I can easily do that at the dig site. I’ve hoed and watered my entire field, and I’ve also planted what I needed for spring. It feels good. I start my next day by looking at the fishing tab and research which fish I have left for spring, and then which ones I should catch more of because I will be doing all the cooking this year. and I’ll be really annoyed if I forget to catch something season specific. Now, I’ve decided I’ve done a bit of research and I saw that there is actually the the blue grass and the auto petas will in fact be able to get the animals up to where I want them to be. So, that is what I intend to do. Correct. The combination of blue grass and auto pettas is enough to steadily grow the animal friendship all the way to maximum. From this day on, I will no longer pet my animals, but I do need to get more auto pettas. I’m steadily gathering stuff from the greenhouse and growing my ancient fruit empire week by week. Right now, I pillage and planted the dick site for any bones I need for that quest. And I also gain a new mastery point in the process. Those 100 fiber seeds, they’ve been planted right here. There’s no need to water them. They just take 7 days to grow. I buy two more auto pedas the next day. They are really expensive. I can’t believe I’ve not done this yet, but I’m finally planting the fruit trees in my greenhouse. I think this is new, but when I cut down these trees that I planted last year, I got those saplings back, which is pretty awesome. So, it’s raining the next sunrise, and just a few days ago, I was looking at my fishing tab and what I still need. The legend is on my list, so I’m making sure to buff myself with good food for the occasion. It does take a short while to hook the bugger, and when I do, with the deluxe bait and the food buffs, it’s a short fight and I’m victorious. I go hunt some skelly boys next to get the last bones I need for that quest, as well as doing a resource run. But as I hunt these guys, I also cross them off my monster slaying goal. My jade crystalarium is ready, and I actually need to make more of those machines, but they are very expensive. This is also an expensive blunder. I sold the legend. Okay. Okay, that was a whoopsie, but I purposely clicked this mining mastery thing next as I do like mining. I also like a tidy farm plot, so I move my greenhouse to where I think I might want it to stay. I then shift some barns around to make the best use of the grass growing spots. I catch a sunfish for a recipe. Grab this price ticket, which then becomes five diamonds, which is an absolute bargain. And I’ve then caught the last fish I need for this season. The flounder is for a recipe. By the way, you can also see that I bought another auto petta this day as well. I don’t do the cooking stuff yet. I’ll do all of that in one go. For now, I’m going to store everything I need in my fridges. I finished the night by semi-sepparating the cow and chicken paddics with the vague resemblance of a path that will go in the center for sending Gunther all those bones. He has sent me the recipe for a bone mill. Here’s a bonus. Ooh. Oh my god. That’s almost all of them golden. That is wonderful news. Can you not do that? That is actually wonderful news. It’s also wonderful that I discovered that Saturdays, they are a really good day to do gifts. Most villages can be found in and around the town for the most part. This was my favorite exchange. I knew I had these seven for a reason and it turns out it’s this reason. Can you do this? This is for me. Marvelous. A guy just randomly approaches me. Approaches you and gives you a squid and he’s like, “Fuck yes, mate. You are my best friend.” Oh, he does consider me a good friend, doesn’t he? He does indeed. Uh, he can have this one today. I’m quite busy these days, but I do make time to chop down this pine forest at the train station. It’s the crack of dawn, and Leah has brought me that sculpture thing that she makes for you when you start to befriend her. She calls it how I feel about etmies. Later this day, as I’m giving everyone their offerings, I help her again by picking this apple from a tree, demonstrating my superhuman prowess. She then says, “Try a piece.” She said, “Try a piece, not eat the whole thing, you animal.” Oh god. You know, she’s a starving artist. She’s trying to feed herself. I remembered Louis’s birthday apparently, and as I did, Old Boy is getting quite close to being done. In fact, I should be thinking about who I will choose to pursue at this point. I get a look at Robin’s shop, and since the new year, those prices, yeah, crazy increases. But I’m popping down my final barn I want. Now I walk in on Abigail trying to beat Journey of the Prairie King or whatever it’s called. I’m actually going to give this a go because I think one of the achievements is you have to beat this game um without dying or something like that. So shoot like that. Huh. Okay. And Okay. Yeah. I thought I’d give it a quick go. Like an orc arcade game, a little shooter thing, shoot the baddies, etc. And I die very quickly. A current mew writing the script is yet to actually commit 12 hours to get this achievement or however long it’s going to take. For this week, bring a bunch of gems to Emily or give Evelyn a lot of leaks to pass on to all mate George. The leak one sounds like it’s going to be seasonal, so I choose that one before spring is over. I should also have all the auto pettas that I want before spring is over as well. I hadn’t realized it, but those raccoons started a family. One little extra feral thing is up there, and they’re hungry for mushrooms and eggs. I thought I was done with this, but nope. They want more. For now, or mate comes first, and I grab the leaks from my chest. I’ve been giving them to him already. But watch this. Beautiful. Cool. That’s There you go. Fantastic. Look at that, mate. You’re more than gather. I still have to gather the 12 leaks and then place them. Um to that one I kind of say why. I mean that’s a bit weird. I’ve already given them to him. Sure. I think that’s a little bit overkill, but okay. Never mind that. My fields of fiber are good to go. I had brought those 24 garlics to plant here because I remembered a quest line for a certain amphibious creature. You must grow for me the sweet delight which is both pink and juicy. Do not pluck it from your ears. I wish I see it in its natural state. All right. So I know for a fact that it’s going to be watermelons for one of them. I wonder if it’s changed. Correct. The order was watermelons, wheat, and garlic. I think I was going to plant the garlic today, but all wants to see them in order. I decided not to plant the garlic. I’ll wait till I have all the seeds and then I’ll plant them all at the same time. But for now, I have five crystalariums, and they’re pumping out jades for me, which is nice. What’s also pleasant is my daily income. It’s almost 40,000 per day by now. It’s Vincent’s birthday on the 10th of spring. As I start my day, I run into Man’s and I see that she has a new book for sale, Animal Catalog. I can now access her shop when she’s not around. I’ll be sure to pick this thing up. That’s amazing. Thank you, Peron. Vincent gets an Aridium grape because it’s his favorite gift. And this little fella is sitting at eight hearts out of 10. Giving birthday presents to people will really speed this up. I’m resource gathering because I’m going to have to make tapers and cakes for the wines in the future. The tapas are for the oak resins. Of course, this was a good cold floor. Lots of iron and copper were present. Actually, on the topic of mining, I lay my eyes on this heavy furnace. It takes two base furnaces, three iron bars, and 50 stone. Yeah, that’s quite expensive. It takes 25 ores to work. accompanied with three coal. A long story short, it’s not faster. It just goes that ratio. I’m going to have to follow up later. In the morning, I give these raccoons the mushrooms and eggs that they wanted. And I’m called Bobo for some reason. The shop has expanded and I’m given a raccoon hat. Okay. Raccoon journal. Reading this. We’re going some foraging experience. Raccoon hat. Um, honestly, if they keep giving me the thing that I can just get like this, it kind of makes that um pointless. Like, if you want to expand the Okay, the back looks pretty cool. If you want to expand the shop, that’s perfectly fine. But don’t give me the thing that you have just put into your store because why would I buy it then? There is no point for me to buy it. I returned to the smelter and it has given me five bars in return. A 25 oes with three coal makes sense. It saves time and only time as far as I can tell because you smelt in bulk. Right now I was feeling a little bit meh about this heavy furnace especially the cost to make one. However, my opinion changes later. For now I visit Clint to assess his prices of his raws. Kind of what I expected. I am going to need copper and iron. So, I may resolve to buying copper to begin with and harvesting iron. I want to make my tapper farm. So, I go ahead and cla this pine forest I made. I plant 40 oak trees and put fertilizer on these ones specifically. I will need a lot of oak resin for the kegs later. And these resins just take time. I can’t speed them up, so every week I can collect 40 resins. I then go ahead and craft all of the tapers I will need. And I will store them here for now. These two cows up here have nearly eaten all of their grass. I need to move them down soon to join the rest of the herd. In one of my coups, I have sold two chickens so that I can get a singular duck and one lonely rabbit for completionist reasons. I wanted to go to Ginger Island for a bit and focused on collecting some dragon tea from these filthy serpents for a few recipes and they take a bit to farm. I got three of them today and two of them were from picking them up as they’re also a forageable. Now, this is a healthy spring harvest I’m about to receive. I go and participate in a child egg hunt because that’s grossly unfair. And my reward for my cruelty is a prize ticket this time. Good stuff. What else is a banger is that I’m getting the final deluxe upgraded bond I will need. It’s Sunday, the start of a week, so gifts are a thing, and Linus has just become the first maxed out person. He always is for me for some reason. However, I always seem to miss Alex. I always seem to What the hell is that thing? What the hell? That looked like a possum. I forgot to go to the desert. That deep sigh was because I had jade on me for stair trading. I really wanted to start doing some deep dives, but now that’s postponed by a full week. On a plus note, a lot of people are getting quite close or are maxing out their friendship points, meaning less work and this process should start to quicken. tragedy struck on day 127 in the form of a power outage. I had to play this day twice. Now, why does that matter? It was my first time experiencing the Calico Desert Festival. I used it mainly to do gifts again because I had tunnel vision. Anyways, all here asked me some questions which I got right on my first go and here I am redoing it. Let’s see if all mate asks the same questions. Yep, sure. First one’s going to be about the days of the the month and that’s going to be 28. Yep, indeed. Um, I think it’s about the pomegranate tree next. Yep. And that’s going to be full. Correct. And I think it’s going to be one about Mr. Mulner. Oh, no. There we go. I said 117,000. Yep. Correct. And now Mr. Mner. Yep. There we go. Yeah, it kind of lost its magic here as a result of that power outage. I had all of my gifts on me and there was this little challenge to be done in the skull cave. So, I decided not to do it right now. Don’t worry folks, I do visit this festival properly shortly. But, as I said, at this stage, I was in grind mode. I often turned on music and just zoned out doing the grindy stuff. For example, agreeing to grow 100 garlics for Mayor Lewis. I have 14 days. I had a thought. Who’s in the saloon on a Monday night? You know what’s interesting? I feel like it’s literally just these two [Music] and they’re not even talking to each other. Oh, that is that is funny. Here you go, mate. Uh, where’s Gussy boy? Anyways, here’s the best part of today. I got my last two order petas I will ever need. After doing more of the gifts the next day, I get round to planting all those garlics I will need on Ginger Island. though I only planted 81, but that’s cuz I already had some on the mainland. The rest I store for that frog later. And I grabbed my first magic rock candy with a prize ticket, which is a hell of a bounty. I wanted to explore the new desert festival. Willie had a game. A fish swallowed his rare golden bobber. So, I fish up this sandfish, get a treasure chest with it, and here is his golden bobber. He’s given me 30 calico eggs, which is the trading currency here at this festival. Skull cavern challenge. Get down as deep as you can. There are mysterious statues that grant you buffs to make it interesting. I find new rocks, which are these calico egg rocks, and I sometimes find them in abundance. Here’s a statue. It says I will lose more eggs when I get knocked out. Okay, so positive and negative effects are a thing here. Or this one, which gives no effect. And then there’s this one, which gives me a full refresh, which is appreciated. For me, this was a highlight. Finding a crystalarium in a floor chest. I only got eight egg levels traveling down, which isn’t much. In fact, all Gilboy isn’t impressed at all. Oh yeah, just wait till next year. I’m going to blow your mind, mate. What else is amazing is that all my barns and coops are done. I have all my animals. The last of them just have to grow up. No more spending on autograbbiters and auto petases, which is quite a relief for my pocket. Now, I need to start actively working towards the ancient fruit cake wine strategy. The first thing is going to be sheds and then kegs, but I can’t cover that with my daily income. I still have monster hunts to complete and everything else the game still has. So, I will in fact be doing less resource gathering as my daily animal grind is my resource gathering in the form of making money. So far, my daily income now is about 42,000 every single day. I’m expecting this to rise to about 50,000ish. Many sells these ornamental hay bales. I dislike how my own crafted fences decay. So, I’m thinking about buying a lot of these to act as fences. So, sheds, yes, but I also want to grab maybe a pond or two from Robin as well. I check out my monster hunting numbers, and I’m surprised. This is looking much better than I thought. I think I cleared this quarry once before, and here I am doing it again. I still want to make this into a proper wood farm. Towards the end of this night, I am laying out the paths. Before finishing it the next day, I made an excursion to Ginger Island. as I mistakenly assumed these garlics would be done. They were in fact not done. What is done is my wood farm. Looks nice and clean. I won’t use fertilizers. I’ll just come back in a season or two. So, it’s Sunday again. As well as giving out presents. I will remember to go to the desert to get stairs. 83 of them. I am indeed ready for some deep dives into Skull Cave. These garlics are now ready and I collect my bounty. That’s 100 collected. I just have to ship them off now. I visit the book seller again and he has the same stock it seems and I concluded that I have in fact bought all the books I needed from him. You know what I still haven’t collected yet? Sounds like some pricks are hooning out there right now. All right, guess for George. All right, this will be the last one. So now we just have to pluck this. And of course we get more than one. Cool. There we go. Kiss for George. Beautiful. That’s 2,000 for us. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I can’t believe it made me harvest 12 even though I had already given him 12 old leaks. Outrageous. However, because that quest is finally done, Evelyn has sent me a coffee maker, which makes me one free coffee every morning, which is hugely appreciated. Listen to this. Um, Clint, sorry, I’m not good at writing letters. I made you a metal bar too many. I bought I thought you might need it. Now, the funny thing is he just sent me a a iron bar. Correct. But if I go into this thing and if I go back over here, a favor for Clint. No, no, no, no. Is it a favor for Clint? Yeah, Clint, he’s got a new hammer. Bring Clint an iron bar. So, I’m going to give him back this exact same thing he just gave me. Oh, that’s so good. I’m running there and I peek my head in to watch an old man open up a bunch of foul, rotten leaks. I don’t know, maybe they get better with age. I collect a new price ticket from George’s thing and I decide to do Clint’s cave patrol quest as I can kill skeletons and get oes that way. Also, get this. Today, Elliot asks me what kind of book genre I liked and I said, “Yeah, mystery.” Clint is also a mystery to me. And you can have this now as well. It’s an Thanks. It looks perfect, mate. That’s the one you sent me. Oh, that is so funny. There you go. Thank you, mate. Anyhow, I start on this bulletin board request tonight. Day 135 was literally a bunch of cutscenes. I bore witness to this sack of potatoes. This fella asking Emily out on a date, which is nice for him, I guess. I was in a rush and I had a moment. Um Oh. Oh, Jesus. Not 150, man. No. Oh, no. What am I going to do with that many? I’m only going to get Okay, what is this? If I shift click, what’s a shift click? What about these two together? Okay, these two 25. Okay, you come in 25s, do you? That’s appreciated. I then watched Elliot do a reading of his mystery novel, the thing he has apparently been working on for a while, but he asked me yesterday what my favorite genre is. Elliot, I smell the use of AI, mate. Now, here’s my impersonation of him. Good afternoon, everyone. What is he? Let’s say he’s Russian. Ever since I was young a boy, I’ve dreamt of becoming a writer. When the time came for me to leave home and start my own life, I moved here. I was drawn to the peaceful beauty of the valley and hope that days of quiet reflection in this idyllic atmosphere or whatever. Oh my goodness gracious. It’s a day for cutscenes. That is one thing I really dislike about this period of the game. You just keep running into cutscene after cut scene and it makes the recordings insufferably long. Indeed, it does make these days long, but I get Robin to make me a at least. And I use Monster Musk to complete the Cape Patrol quest within a day, which is huge. It was a good luck day on spring 24th. So, I really wanted to go to the skull cave and do my first deep dive, but I’m disappointed that it was the flower dance and that I should probably go to it. Well, there is this recipe here that I need and also a rare crow. Yeah, I definitely needed to come here for completionist stuff. The question is, who do I dance with? Who do I want to feel like a loser today? Cuz if you ask one of these people, you know what? I’m not going to ask anyone. I’m just going to take a bow out and I want to see where everyone else is dancing today. Not going to ask anyone cuz I want to see who they’re all partnered up with. Um, so Shane still dances with Emily. Orma is just standing here like, you know, whatever. Uh, look, at the next one, I’ll dance with my wife. I think that’ll be fine. Yeah. Big question. Who is it going to be? I think about that as I head into the desert the following day. As you can see, I have some bombs on me, some food, this rock candy for mining buffs, and my 80-ish stairs. You may think that this is cheating. I disagree. Just another method to get done what you want to do. And seeing as this setup is time-conuming and expensive, I feel fine with this. Once I’ve dived deep enough, I always keep some stairs spare in case I get monster levels. With that rock candy popped and coffee, I look for aridium ore and generally blow this entire area up. What’s great is that even though I’m using bombs, I still get the experience for blowing up these rocks, which is confirmed to me because I get another level of mastery just then. I meet Mr. Chi on level 100, and as expected, he’s disappointed that I used stairs for the occasion, but he accepts that it cost a lot to buy the stone. Well, to make the crystalariums, yes, I also make a note to stop specifically if I see these dino levels to make sure I cull them for the slayer quest. They are very rare, so get them every time I see them. As you can see, I got quite a bit of aridium today. Almost 300 ore and a bunch of other stuff. Pierre is a heart fell to get his favorite gift for. So, today I’m going to give him this starrop tea. Apparently, anyone would like this and it is his birthday. He is on seven hearts now. I guess I’ve been holding on to these teas for occasions like this. I buy some awesome Clint for the first time, which feels good. I collect the second batch of garlics from Ginger Island. I think I forgot I had garlic stored somewhere, so I had to grow some more for Louis. I then grab four fridges. And while I’m here, I grab every single recipe Robin can sell me before getting her to make me an upgraded shed. Somewhere in my footage, after I talked about those heavy furnaces, I made a little discovery. So, I’m picking up all of my small furnaces, and I start to make these expensive, heavy furnaces, which requires two little ones, by the way. Within moments, I have 175 aridium ore smelting at the same time. I am excited, of course, and I make four more and smelt the rest as each heavy furnace takes 25 ores and three core per smelting session. That is insanely effective, actually. But, let’s get back to this shortly. For now, I have 40 oak resins to collect. the first of what’s going to be 10 plus different collecting sessions for doing that crop order of garlics. Lewis has sent me a small shipping bin which I have outside of my animal area so I can always toss all those products in here. So, I’m going to pause this frame right here. These furnaces are ready. I should be getting five bars back from each, but it is hard to see because of the overlap, but those bottom two have yielded six aridium bars. These furnaces also have a chance to give you one extra back. And for aridium, that is huge. If you don’t believe me, there are 11 furnaces there, but I got 57 bars. 11* 5 is 55. So, yes, I got two extra ones. Wait till the luck is more in my favor. With this bounty, I make the statue of the dwarf king. It blesses me with a choice of two mining blessings per day. At home, I toss a hair and I bless myself. I can get a greater chance of finding stairs or greater chance to find geodess. Nice. I don’t take one now as I don’t plan on going mining. Nope. I plan on planting another 100 fiber seeds because I can. Ah, there you go. Bottom corner has six bars ready for me. Boom. I’m actually quite pleased with that. Um, I take it back. I think these are pretty swell. You get a lot of smelting done very quickly. Yeah, that is significantly quicker than the other thing. It’s the last day of my second spring, so I’m getting lots of goodies. And we are now at 6,300. Be a beautiful. We got a lot of stuff to sell right now. We got a lot of stuff. Funny enough, I haven’t selected my next mastery yet before that. Oh, yeah. It bothers me that the character does this. Just walts us into somebody else’s house and goes and finds Pierre’s secret stash. It has literally nothing to do with me. Why am I even there? Yeah, I don’t know why I’m like this. I was just giving gifts to people. And after a long day of that, I investigate this mastery room again. After some thought, I choose the foraging one. I can grow a mystic tree, make treasure totems, and find golden mystery boxes around the world. Now, I make that mystic tree, which takes five of each tree sapling, which is kind of expensive. Anyhow, I slap it into the ground, and I beat it with some fertilizer. are keen to see what grows in my farm plot. Summer things will be growing because it’s the first day of summer. Before picking up the crops, new weekly quests, and I take Robin’s 1,000 stone rush thing, as I didn’t want to fish, I bought 100 seeds of each crop. And before the night is done, I have them all planted with a strategy to work towards that poly culture achievement. So, after a first busy day of summer, day 142, I take a bit easier and I see my ancient seed farm is growing very nicely. These nine are ready and there are another bunch already growing as well. The raccoons are thirsty this month. Makes sense. It is summer. They want some juice and pickled carrot. I have the pickled carrot. I just have to wait on the juice. A crobis is also part of my giftgiving sessions and I get the star drop from him this day. The one that he sells you afterwards. I work towards that thousand stone for Robin in the morning. This is good stuff. Very, very good stuff. That last batch of fruits did well in the seed maker. I actually have 44 ancient fruit seeds. So, this is going to completely shift the greenhouse composition. The composition of these raccoons for the near future is going to be carrot and potato as I give them their last request. Orbit says thanks and I need to grow their family. I got five fairy dust from them later on. Ginger Island and I go plant some melons, wheat, and garlic as I will need them for the frog. I donate a bad thing to this archaeologist. A few things are still missing. And I get more rock for Robin. Remember how I said I wanted hay bales as my fences because my crafted ones kept falling apart? Yeah, I need to do that soon. On Ginger Island, I have another rainy day and I spot the last colorful bird that I need to shoe away for a gem. A few seconds later, I slap it on these altar things and I get five walnuts for my patience. Back on the mainland and I buy a lot of these hay bales and I start to make seeds from the strawberries I’ve been hoarding. Before I get rid of them for the ancient seeds, I want to have a healthy stock of these guys for the next spring. I then realized the price of bombs have gone way up by 600 gold per bomb, which makes deep diving with bombs a little less doable. As I wasn’t expecting that, I pass on buying them for now. I move my bars where I wanted them. All of them are on the left side of the farm and on the grass, not blocking the spots where blue grass can grow. I buy some stone from Robin, use it to upgrade my second shed, and I make a little discovery. [Music] Oh, really? Okay, fair enough. I was not aware that she was going to count me buying them from her as as that. Seriously. Okay, fair enough. I guess I’ll go home victorious now. I should leave the mine feeling like a trooper. Goodness gracious me. Yeah, I was gathering rocks and I checked before seeing that I had heaps to go, but I obviously just bought rocks and that nearly completed the quest. There you go. I then go ahead and replace these fences with hay bales before they start breaking. I’m also breaking 50,000 every single night now with my animal products, which is absolutely solid. A green hue welcomes me onto day 146. The green rain has descended upon the valley once again. If we have a look over here, this so we need 333 moss, right? How much moss do I have? It’s over here. I need about 100 of it. So, today is the moss. I collected as much of it as I could by cutting wheat and cutting them off the trees and such. By this night, I have everything I need except 100 stone, which can be done in a second. Now, I wish I could play you the in-game moment sound, but I was loudly listening to music at this point. I’m heading to Robins to buy that 100 stone. It’s also Sunday, so I am carrying all of my gifts. Right. Just as I get there, I realize this and I sigh so damn loudly that I have to run back home, drop something off, and come back to buy the stone. If you’re wondering, I was listening to Secret Crowds by Angels and Airwaves on repeat. Absolute banger. I also got my first pawn started today. Now, after playing Santa and jamming, I made the statue of blessing. I touch it and it gives me a blessing of a luck. Um, that’s not farming related. The next morning, I slap the statue again for another plus one luck. Don’t worry, this was just my luck, but pass me was kind of worried that I spent too much time making this thing for a plus one luck charm. The dwarf thing I quickly punched as well for a plus one or buff, which is quite handy. But none of those things help me when I’m handing out things to people. I’m so sorry I decided to do this grind and it is a bloody grind, but it is required for completion. But looking at this, I’m getting quite close to finishing off a lot of people. I also do this pier produce thing where he tries to sell all of my golden veggies I give him back to the people at incredibly high prices. I’m going to see that later. I see now that I get something different from the statue, a blessing to increase critical strike chance. So, this thing gives you general buffs and not farming specific ones, which was a bit disappointing. I really wanted the farming things, which is why I grabbed this mastery first, but okay, fair enough. Other than the usual people thing, my greenhouse is nearly full of ancient fruit. I’m really keen for this. This isn’t all I’m going for, by the way. I need hundreds more. My pond is done, and I’m filling it with crabs. I want these guys for the crab cake recipe later on. Next blessing. You have in You have infinite energy. Wow, I have infinite energy. Very nice. Also, this mystic tree grew at some point, and I slapped the tapper on it because I want to see what I would get. I could get oak resins from these, which was nice. And I wanted to get a second pond for more crab reasons. I make my way to All Boy Clint, and I ask him for an aridium upgrade on my axe. Then I recall there’s a whole forge thing on Ginger Island where I can do enchantments on my weapons, tools, and rings, and I completely forgot about this. I will have time to go there. I just bought a whole stack of copper. with my hard-earned cash. I actually don’t have to gather resources anymore. It is wonderful. The raccoons also want something new. Three ghost fish and four corals. Um, yeah, sure thing, mate. As I run away, I can see three little raccoons up there, but past me didn’t see these feral little things. This is what my current furnace setup does to 999 copper ores. [Music] Yep, I do sound excited. That is insane. I can almost Yeah, 71 bars within 20 seconds. I mean, real time seconds. It’s pretty damn good. Yeah, within a minute that entire stack is smelted. I then rejig the greenhouse with four aridium sprinklers to maximize the amount of ancient fruit I can get from here. And it is my second luau day, a golden cauliflower again, as this will raise everyone’s friendship, which is an absolute must right now. while Robin is working on my second pond. Honestly, she’s probably been here on my farm more than she’s been at home in this playthrough. Anyhow, I toss some clay into this crab pond and then top it up with more crabs so that they can ask for the next expansion thing sooner. Soon after that, I get my aridium axe and I drop off my pickaxe to get the same treatment. I need to do some fishing for some upcoming recipes. That is a puffer fish. That’s a golden loot chest which Clint can break open for me. And this is the summer legendary, so he’s crossed off my list. And finally, this is a tuna. Although I have these fish ingredients now, I might still be missing ingredients from other seasons for the same dishes. So, I’m gathering everything I can now, and when the time comes, I’ll do the entire cooking thing in one go. That’s the idea. I have two fish left for this season. The octopus and the dorado. I’m not worried about the octopus. I can get them somewhere else as well, but I will go for the dorado. And also those ghost fish for the raccoons, actually. I have a cut scene with Alex next. There have been a few before this and we know that Alex is smug and up himself. But despite that, I will always give him and others the polite dialogue. I am literally incapable of ever being mean to an NPC. You know those things you see on posts where they say, you know, games make people violent? Well, I’m one of those people who can’t say the mean thing to the NPC because I don’t want to hurt the NPC’s feelings despite the fact it is nothing. Yeah, games don’t make you violent. Guess what? That golden box gave me three farm totems. Quite nice. Also, a lot of other goodies. I made it a geo day. So, obviously, donations followed. It’s getting pretty chockas in here. The Dorado became my next catch. I then catched this new type of set from this mystic tree called Mystic Syrup. I don’t know what it’s for, but thanks to that book, I can see that it sells for 1,000 gold. It also gives 500 energy and 225 health, which is pretty much all of my stats. I think it makes sense that I use this thing to make that treasure totem, which I also got from the foraging mastery. You’re going to see this thing later. A presence followed, of course, all bloody day. But look at that. This is beautiful. All right, Demetrius, Krovis, Clint, can I get you done today, mate? Yep, there’s about 10 people left. Fun fact, I forgot about my stairs again. I also forgot about my pickaxe, but I get that the next day while seeing everyone I needed to along the way. I get my aridium hoe next and remember Pierre asked for 25 golden quality crops. So, I scavenged in my chests and got whatever I could for the occasion. I also picked up this rock rejuvenation quest where I bring some gems to Emily and I make sure to do that today as well. I am a little sad. My reward for doing that quest for her is a sewing machine. Now I won’t be able to invite myself over to her place whenever I please to use a sewing machine. That excuse is no longer valid. Oops. I then find this note stuffed into my mailbox. One of these days, you should come around to my room after dark, maybe around 8:00 p.m. I want to show you something. All right, Abby, how about we go ahead and do that tonight? I’ve actually never seen that cut scene before because I think most of the times when it is finally asked of me, I’m like in a happy relationship and I’m like I feel bad about going to another person’s room in the middle of the night. I’m like, no. A quick update for you as I’m heading to Ginger Island. I probably need to do another actually. How far are we with the collections of stuff and things? All right, we got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. We got nine of these left. In terms of gems, we got 1 2 3 4 5 six of these left. Okay, fair enough. We’re doing well. At Ginger Island, I present all three crops I planted here for the frog in quick succession. The end result is 15 walnuts, five for each one. I have a wonderful harvest afterwards, of course. current me thinks that past me made a fatal floor here, unlocking this warp obelisk on Ginger Island, which takes me back to my farm. I’m going to elaborate soon. For Mr. Cheese secret door, I’m at 87 out of 100, meaning I’m missing 13 and 30 extra in total. I still have work to do. So, about that fatal flaw, the Ginger Island Resort. I’ve been neglecting to buy this because when I do, villagers schedules change and that would have made this giftgiving shenanigans a whole lot worse. I am aware that you can close the resort, but I probably thought, why bother getting it if I could just spend the walnuts elsewhere, right? I’m going to give you that last little bit of information later when it hits me. For now, I’m blissfully ignorant of my enormous mistake I’ve made. I’m investigating this volcano forge as I’ve forgotten how it works. I will resort to Google for this. Day 157 started with me cheesing the game several times by restarting the game and going back to this volcano first up to see if I can get the enchantments I wanted on my three main tools. Powerful for my pickaxe so it hits one level higher, bottomless for my water can so I never have to fill this thing up again. I combined my burglar and aridium band to make an awesome offensive loot ring. And at the time I really wanted shaving for my axe so it shaves more wood off trees when I chop them down. But I got swift, which I didn’t really want. But let’s see how I react when I tried for the first time. Later, I get my hoe back from Clint. And I realized something. Oh, wait. Did someone ask? Oh, Abby asked me about last night, didn’t she? God damn it. And again, to this day, I have never seen that cutscene ever. God damn it. Okay. Well, I wish there was an opportunity for you to see that. I mean, I can just jump on YouTube and just look at that cutscene up if I really wanted to, but it just makes me upset because it’s like, you know, I said, “Oh, yeah, no worries. I’ll go and check that out.” But then I completely forget about it. Bloody hell. I try something new to lift my spirits. Boom. Wow, I was expecting maybe just nine or something. Good. Wow. Yep. I do sound very excited for this thing. Unfortunately, I used it here on the farm. Meaning any digable stuff I get here is the junk you get on the farm. All of which I already have. Oh well. There’s always next time, and I’ll use it somewhere else at that time. It’s a cool item, though. I also get started with the sheds by filling them with kegs. I will eventually have four sheds filled with kegs. That’s for the future. For the present, I hunt these shadow monsters for the slayer goals. Instead of slaying the next morning, I decide to do that chain quest for birdie and finding a lost husband. Step one, show this picture to Kent, who fought in the war with the fella, and get a gourmet tomato salt. I present this salt to Sassy Gussy, who then gives me a Stardew Valley rose, which I gift to Sandy, as it reminds her of the valley, and she gives me an old TV remote. I also make sure to buy some seats from her while I’m here. I was over there, but all mate George is always here watching TV. So, he gets a new TV remote and a new channel to watch. Poor fellow. He gives me an Arctic shard, which he got from his mining days. I give what is probably a precious gem to the wizard, who proceeds to act like a and give me a wiggling worm for it. This disgusting little thing goes to Willie for fishing bait, and he gives me a pirate locket, which he found on the beach once upon a time. Of course, it’s raining, right? So, pretty much the birdie. How dare you? Love, what are you doing, love? Oi, get out here. I Birdie. Oh, I’m very disappointed in you, love. Oh, there we go. There’s my first golden warn from this. Yep, that would be my first one from this method. There’s five total. That is for later. Right now, I luckily found the snake vertebrae, the thing that I struggled for so long to find in my last video. I spent five walnuts here to get the island trader. Five walnuts I would desperately need later. But I do discover I need dragon teeth for that banana sapling. I finish this night by planting all of those rhubarbs, beets, and star fruits on Ginger Island that I bought from Sandy today. I get my blessing the next morning. This particular general blessing makes me run a little bit faster, which is quite nice. So, I run myself over to this trader and I get this banana sapling. Here’s a quick squeeze at the archaeological tent. I have three bones left, it seems. And I throw this pirate locket at Bird’s feet, which is quite disrespectful. So, was her leaving me out in the rain last night. All right. Now, there is a hell here, and it’s this one right here. Well, I have to do it eventually. Looks like my son is sleeping. I’m going to give this a go while he’s doing it. All right, let’s do this. See here. Now, I did this puzzle a handful of times before I got it right. But I also started to notice something when I finally got it. [Music] [Applause] Okay, I can definitely say that after doing it x amount of times, it does actually slow down for you. So, Concerned Ape has gone ahead and programmed it that after you’ve done this uh 10, 15, I’m not exactly too sure, X amount of times, it actually slows it down for you. So, the the the last attempt there, that was really slow. It was like even slower than the first one. It’s kind of like saying he he has pity on you, so to speak. It doesn’t matter. I got my nuts. You know what’s funny? I haven’t even met Leo yet. Yep. I never bothered coming back, but him and Sandy are always hard people to gift because they’re out of the way. But now I’m almost done. So, I will start them now in the morning. Living large. Ah, beautiful. Fantastic. We finally have the bigger house. That is a huge accomplishment. I’m glad. Oh, hell yeah. It makes your kitchen significantly bigger as well. That’s amazing. Oh, yeah. We can actually have a lot more coffee now as well. Oh, mate. I’m looking forward to this. Robin, are you serious? Are you actually joking me right now? Yep. She’s She’s ruined my little thingy garden. I’m actually very frustrated. How dare you, Robin? How dare you? Yeah, heads up. Upgrading your house can ruin your favorite coffee garden. A new blessing this day. A prismatic butterfly is waiting for you somewhere in the valley. What? A prismatic butterfly is waiting for you somewhere in the valley. Now, that is new. I’ve not seen or heard of that before. That has got me very curious, doesn’t it? Yes, it does. That has me very curious. So, what we’re going to do is drink this and we’re going to go find that prismatic jelly or prismatic um butterfly. I want it. There we go. That’s it. Oh, very nice. It just got me some money. I didn’t notice that, but that butterfly just got me 30,000 gold, which is quite nice. Monster musk is also nice for summoning monsters. Look at all those fiends. Now, I’ve been thinking about it, and I haven’t found any of those animal crackers yet. Well, oh, there we go. Give this to a farm animal to permanently double its produce yields. And it doesn’t work on a pig. I have finally found one after how many days? And I’ve I mean, it’s it’s probably luck based, I imagine. Yeah, this one took me quite a while to find. It’s Sunday. I am most definitely getting my stairs today. If I forget my stairs, I’ll be very upset with myself. 5 seconds later, I get the stairs I desired so much, 140 of them. It’s the Trout Derby. But of course, it is that day where people are probably expecting something from me by now. Here’s something. Remember those quality veggies I sent to Pierre? Well, here he is trying to flog them off to other NPCs. He mumbles 25,000 under his breath. And Gus is like, “What was that?” You know, to be completely honest, not even Jojo M offer, you know, charge that much. This guy’s a complete scoundrel. A snake. Yep, Pierre is a snake indeed. But here’s some good news for me. I see that my house can have some significant upgrades. More than what was here the last time I played. And then I checked on my slayer goals, and these are coming along quite nicely. Now, these guys, I saw that there was an achievement to help these forest friends. Help us, and I’ll give you something nice. Okay. Yeah, sure. You want broccoli juice and pickled bok choy? Okay, sure. Yep. I saw that there’s an achievement for helping these little critters, so I will do exactly that. There’s also this new weekly quest. Ah, does that mean you’ve done it before? I gotcha. So, he’s done a tick there. We’re not doing that for you, mate. Really? Of Dorado. Okay, we can we can try that, mate. But, you know, Dorado are quite difficult to catch. I’ve been editing this and those sticks just randomly showed up. They were never there, but I appreciate that they are. I have some freedom from these residents now. So, I get back to Ginger Island and looking for these walnuts. I made a video about this a very long time ago, so I have a decent idea where they are. That’s two from these rocks, by the way, or maybe three. I’m not too sure. I systematically go through my list to make sure I haven’t missed any. I think I’m now on 99. No, I can go in there. Beautiful. So, we can actually start this. Wonderful. O mate. Well, well, well. Look who’s made it to my secret walnut room. Indeed. I mean, it’s a giant blue door, mate. It’s anyone can see it, but not many people can enter it. So, Mr. Chi has weekly goals for me as well. Much the same as the mainland ones, but I get chi points and I get to spend them on nice things, which I can buy on the right hand side. And further on the right is my progression statues. The first task I take is catching the family members of the legendary fish. I haven’t even caught all the originals yet. Okay, so Juno chests, the horse flute, PS missing stock list, um Pierre’s missing stock list, hopper items placed inside will automatically be loaded in the machine in front of it. Yeah, that is a whole bunch of blueprints I will need for completion. Uh speaking of Right, and we’re at 36%. I think I was pretty much the same the last time. So, rer rider. Now, I’m standing here at the beach resort. I’m running a bit low on the current nuts I can get, but I can get a whole bunch to the south if I have this resort. Thing is, I need nine more nuts before I can unlock it. See what I mean by fatal floor before. I spent nuts on something not important. Cutting myself off from 25% of this island and a whole bunch of nuts there. Again, more on that shortly. I noticed that with the Aridium site, I can get all these coffee beans without direct contact, which is quite good. What’s not so nice right now, me editing this, is seeing that I have a letter from a Jojo person to meet me in the watery cave on Ginger Island in regards to my special challenge. I have no idea what this is all about. And sadly, I never investigated it. I forgot. Also, footage was lost to me when I gave some of my cows those golden crackers, but I was under the assumption that it would double the price of that specific cow’s milk. Uh, nope. It makes the calpa juice twice the milk, but I don’t have the extra cheese presses to cater for it, which kind of bums me out. I would have preferred the first option. I find a work around this later on, though. For now, I go and catch all of those legendary fish relatives. That’s the glacia fish junior. This is the radioactive carb, the son of crimson fish, Miss Angler, which would make the angller quite annoyed as I haven’t caught him yet. Now, naturally, I had a trap bobber. Not anymore, of course. Fish tackle was worn out. Guess who’s here right now? Yep, this is him. I can’t believe that. Come on. It’s like his bloody destiny to do exactly that. You, you absolute I tried for the rest of the night and I didn’t hook him again, which further foul my mood. The next blessing lifted my foul mood, though. The first three fish you hooked today were much easier. Okay, well, let’s hope that that’s going to be the legend. I hope it’s going to be a fun fact, it wasn’t. It took a while and I finally got them. The legend 2 and I get my first chi points. It was a day for fishing. I wanted to catch those Dorado for Demetrius. It took almost a full day to get a single one for my bait machine. But unfortunately for me, even with the Dorado bait, I got mostly trash, which again furthered my foul mood. Now, it’s Leo’s birthday soon, and I’ve only just met him. My duck gave me a single golden feather, so that would make a perfect birthday present to jumpst start those friendship hearts. Now, in real life, I am very tired for baby reasons, and I lost track of days in life and in game. I thought it was Leo’s birthday today. No, that was supposed to be a birthday present. Am I going to restart this day? No, it’s not worth it. Just whatever. Yep. I was exhausted. But I managed to catch all the dorado I needed today. And I hunted those shadow fiends afterwards. Dolores, the wife of Morris, has something interesting the next day. The Junimo, a collection of furniture infused with Junimo energy. Really? I’m going to get that. I have no idea what it does, but I saw it and I wanted it. Before checking it out, I went to Ginger Island and I tried to find more nuts. The main focus was completing the archaeological section because it’s worth a fair bit. Also, this is my first time cutting wood since that enchantment. What the hell? Why did my guy just go like super quick? Oh, are you serious? Is that Is that actually how quickly you go once you have a swift on your axe? Is that a fact? Because if that’s the case, I’m probably going to keep that. Check this out. Oh my god, I am keeping this. I am most definitely keeping that. That is so fast. I can chop down an entire forest in like seconds. Yeah, wait till you see how fast I chop down a forest. But let’s not get distracted. I’m looking for fossils, and I saw that one of them is in a golden coconut, which I’m trying to get now by shaking palm trees. No luck. Before bed, I check out this Junimo furniturees, and they look like furniture with vegetation on them, which would look really pretty. Update. I have 237 ancient seeds saved up at this moment. I’m aiming for 360 which will go on Ginger Island. Right now I have more goodies going to the raccoons. Pickled bok choy and broccoli juice. I got a star drop tea and checking their wares. They now sell a magic rock candy for 20 golden mystery boxes. And I can trade three normal boxes for one golden one. I just might do that. I might also go ahead and add the combat mastery to my arsenal. I get a mini forge and an anvil for trinkets which I can now find adventuring. Now, I had one golden coconut stashed away somewhere. I must have had two at some point because the first one is always a nut. And this one was that skull I needed for that bone set. The last one I need was the spine. And after demanding it from the Stardew Valley gods, they provided. Hook the spine. There you go. Yep. It took all day. Okay, there you go. All done. Wow. He says, “Wow, look how far we’ve come.” Yeah, don’t give me that, professor. I did all of that. But he teaches me the ostrich incubator, and I collect the last nuts and saplings from him. I currently have 18 nuts. So far as I’m aware, the last nuts I could potentially get right now is with these rocks. There should be three left this way. Yep, this is going to bug me. And it will. Sorry, Parrot here says two. So, I was wrong. It makes sense. I’m too down to get that beach resort for 20. Unfortunately, I didn’t hit record on day 168. But the gist was present moonlight jelly thing festival and I went and killed Shadow Fiends. Enough fact that I got the Savage Ring, which grants movement speed whenever I kill something, which is pretty damn good. As if not recording was bad enough, I did get day 169, but with no audio for me. It’s the first of four, so we know how these days go. Preparing soil, buying 100 of each fall seed. I see that I’ve already done both these quests on the mainland, but 100 artichoke is to be sold for Louiswis’s order. So, I decide to do that. And I get an additional 100 seeds, which will go on Ginger Island. And speaking of the island, I get the new chi quests. Some decent point giving ones this time. Well, just the kindness one, but this required me to give everyone their favorite gifts. So, I’ll have to fine-tune my chest a bit. But for tonight, I plant my entire crop field. Day 170 must have been recorded on the same night as the previous one because I still had no audio. That’s okay. I can see that I went into Skull Cave. It must have been a good luck day indeed. Look what I got. 400 Aridium ore, four prismatic shards, and an auto pitter, though that’s useless to me, especially as I can’t sell them either. I had sound for myself the next day, but nothing overly interesting. She wanted me to do what I’ve already been doing, so I obliged. I was also obliged to watch this. I’m sitting here eating chips. I don’t have my headphones on and I’m watching Emily bop her head. For all I know, she could be playing she could be playing runchy music. I don’t know. I got She’s got her bird. I’ve got my bird. Yeah, about my bird. I’ll explain shortly. I swear there was a side glance there to see whether or not I was staring at her. I’m sure. Well, I’m sure my dude was. And again, I can’t be mean. See, I cannot be mean. That was amazing. Now, here’s something to enjoy and be amazed with. Oh, that is so funny. This is not sped up or anything, people. This is literally just how quickly you do this in the game. I’m not joking. This is just how quickly you do it with the the swift ability. It is insane. Yep. I’m actually glad I took swift. The next day, I got this cut scene from Emily and I saw what a few people would like to dress as. Classic. He looks like the governor. For goodness sake, he dressed himself up as the governor. So, in goes Clinty Boy. This fella is trying so hard to get Emily’s attention. Well, she thinks he looks cute, which isn’t what he’s going for, obviously. Poor Sod to the point. Emily tries to get sweet with me. In Waltz’s Mr. Pink Pants, realizing he’s interrupting something potentially, but then walks away in defeat, saying, “Congrats me.” So, you know what I say? I don’t know. Is that a sign? Should I follow through with that? You know what? Yeah, why not? Me? I don’t know. I said that casually. It’s not really on my mind. What’s on my mind is the fact that I keep forgetting my resins each week, something I really shouldn’t be missing. I finally gave that last gift to Vincent and I got my 50 CH points, which is huge. I witnessed the cut scene where Leo confides in me. He knows that he’s not a bird, and he’s quite confused about where he fits in life. Willie has been listening in on this entire conversation, and he also feels sympathy for the poor castaway. My mind is on this horse flute. I can now travel with no name everywhere, which is huge. It’s amazing. [Music] Yep. Speed is king. I also forgot that I planted all of these on Ginger Island. 5 seconds later, they all magically disappeared. And I planted those 100 artichokes for the mayor’s quest. And I harvest a few cinder shards because I wanted to combine my savage ring and the scrap shell one. Now, from what I can tell, in terms of ancient fruit, the greenhouse is at full capacity. 116 are in here. I also have over 360 seeds as well, meaning I no longer have to toss these precious fruits into the seed maker. I can finally start making money from my ancient fruit strategy. By this time, my first shed is nearly full of kegs. So, looking good. All these fruits and those tree fruits are going into these kegs, and any excess will be sold just as the fruits until I expand the keg numbers, which will be 40 per week if I remember my resins. Speaking of them, they’re not ready, but I want some of those mystic syrups. So, I plant four of those mystic trees today. So, I had just come back from the desert because my intention was to go there and get stairs. All right, let’s go get Kent. Yes, we just got to go get Kent. Nope. I’m going back. I keep forgetting the bloody stairs every single time without fail. It’s okay. I got them. And I also got something else quite nice. Don’t need that. Uh quarterly. Yep. Way of the wind horse book. Also, ah, learn the Queen of Swords recipes that you don’t already know. Ooh, well, that’s very handy. Um, you learned six new recipes. Why am I seeing one there that I can’t see? Are these from Ginger Island? They are from Ginger Island, actually. This is indeed very handy. And for someone who doesn’t check their TV, and I kind of pointed it out at the beginning of the video, I was checking the TV every day. I got six recipes, which I would have gotten eventually. So, all these other ones are either sent to me or I have to buy them somewhere else. I wasted 50,000, but okay. I investigated my island farm and figured out how many sprinklers I needed and how they would sit. I was still disappointed that I got no nuts from these rocks. And it’s the same clue from this bird. So, I was under the impression there were only two I could get at this point. I can’t unlock the southern part of the island until then. At least I’m making crab cakes. These used with espressos gives me a double boost all day, so I am always zooming. I zoom over to this quest board on Monday morning, but I’ve done these, so I zoom on by. With Mr. Chi, I can do the same quest again or find four prismatic shards and donate them. I’m a little Santa Claused out. I have in fact been cutting the majority of that stuff because it was getting really repetitive. So the prismatic shards it is. However, I am mortified because I donate some shards that I’ve already had and all mate still wants me to go ahead and find four. So that was a pointless endeavor. A skull cave dive is in order then which is what I do the next day. Making sure to stop for these lost dinos as they are still on my slayer goals. My haul was decent. Um, not in terms of shards, but almost 500 aridium and this void ghost pendant. I do know that you can use this thing to invite Crobus to come live with you as friends. Goodness me, maybe that’s who will move in with me. Speaking of people, I have a whole bunch of quests I should be doing. I’m catching fish for some of those, and I decide to quickly get this angler legendary as well. Many requested a cave carrot at some point. I bring her on while she’s here in the saloon and she gives me a disgusted response which was really bizarre. Did you not want a cave carrot? Did Mani not ask for a cave carrot? Man’s request. Bring a cave carrot into Man’s shop. Right. Um, okay. That’s very unfortunate. I guess I’ll not do it now, you idiot. I expand my number of crystalariums in the morning and I fill them up with jades right away. I am pretty keen for more stairs. I fill my bags with quest items like Louis’s undies, an apricot for Emily, puffer fish for Demetrius. It’s going to be a quest day. Oh, you brought the cave carrot. Thank you so much, Mr. Armies. A man, I brought this to you last night. You can have it from the floor. This is not what you were saying last night, dear. It was actually more trouble than it had to be. Anyways, I’m still giving these raccoons their meal and drink requests when I can. This achievement is actually really long. They gave me a book of stars, which gives me experience, which reminded me I can claim the last mastery. Funny enough, fishing was my first level 10 skill, and it is my final mastery skill. I get the advanced aridium rod that can take two bobbers, a challenge bait, and I can fish up golden chests now. Now, here is something golden. Good evening. Here you are. You found them where? Oh. Um, hey, I have no idea how they got gone in there. This stays between you and me. Got it, mate. You aren’t asking whether or not why was I in there? No, you’re perfectly fine with that. Okay. Yesterday, I gave him his undies. Today, he gets that truffle oil. He is that kinky kind of mayor. And after giving Sussy Gazi a lobster he asked for, I only have the cheat and the weekly crop quest left. All minor things have been done. My monster slaying brings me to the volcano and getting these flame sprites, but I’m also doing some general resource gathering in here. Now, Saturdays were always my foraging day. But now that I can switch into ancient fruit wine farming, it becomes my harvest day. Last week’s wines are ready to go. So, I throw this batch in and always collect the previous week when this new batch goes in. Speaking of farming, these artichokes have grown for the mayor, so I can now harvest these and prepare this place for the 360 ancient fruit seeds. I am still stuck with this walnut situation. But that’s okay. I prepare this entire field with hay walls as well because I know that fiber grows rampant here. Pretty soon, ancient fruit is going to be growing rampant here as well. It’s Monday morning. It’s time for new chi quests. I have these options. I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve heard a couple of stories about these chi beans and that this quest is a nightmare. I wasn’t really keen for something that involved, so I took the kindest one, which was not really exciting. But this is exhilarating for me. My first load of increased jade. Here’s an example of some of my struggles every morning. Can I please get into the barn? You boines. Can I please get in the barn? You boines. Yep. Still tending to these animals every day. And it’s that fair day again soon. I don’t have all mates undies, so I get together a lot of animal products, foraging, and vegetables for the occasion. Also, these raccoons have five kits by this point. My grand display has nine highquality items. But look at Pierre. I can tell you right now, all maid has got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22. All got 22 things in there. No matter he wins. No. No wonder he wins. Yeah, not today, Pierre. My nine items stomp all over your crap. I was given gifts the next day, but this was the highlight. Actually, mate, are you still angry at me for talking to Emily? Oh, hi. Sorry if I look a little messy. I’ve been working at the furnace all morning. So, did you need anything or did you just want to visit? I’m going to snoop, mate. Dear Emily, I know you only think of me as a friend. It’s my fault. I’m too shy. I’ll never have the courage to tell you the truth. That’s why I’m writing this letter to myself that I’ll certainly crumple up and toss in the corner. And here I am, you know. Oh, goodness me. I have no shame. And he’s he doesn’t seem to care. I collect resins. Upgrade my home a bit. Both the upstairs and the downstairs. And with this present, the second last NPC, Sandy, is done, which means only Leo is left. I gave a rabbit’s foot to this guy who gave me a charm for a permanent luck boost. I watch the cut scene where Willie asks Lionus to show Leo around the valley as they are both one with nature. I buy some recipes from the island trader, particularly this deluxe retaining soil. And I buy some Junimo chest from Mr. Chi as these two are connected. One for Ginger Island and one for my house so I can leave important items in there so I can access them from both locations. The birds help Leo move to the mainland by carving out a home from him in this tree near Lionus’s tent. The next day, I start that chain quest by slapping a battery in this lock box in the tunnel. I then find that I have bananas now, so I take this with me. I dump a rainbow shell in this box here. I hurdle 10 beats into Louiswis’s fridge, and the next clue is giving the sand dragon his last meal. But I’ll follow up later because for now, after so long, I sacrifice a banana at this altar. And I get the nuts I need to open up the south side of Ginger Island. I did a huge misplay before when I got the farm obelisk instead of this one, but that was my problem. I immediately start collecting nuts on the side. It’s the weekend, so I will be collecting all of my fruits of my labor as well as my animal products, which I do every day. Usually, I go straight to the kegs, but a quick detour to Robins because I wanted to get every single new expansion I could get to my house. There’s a lot of extra rooms to buy in 1.6. I get the furniture catalog as well because at some point I should probably furnish my home. If I wasn’t doing that today, it would be straight to the kegs, which I’m doing now, collecting last week’s batch as I’m replacing it with this week’s batch of wines. But the added bonus is that I made more kegs in the middle of the week. So, over time, I’ll be making more wines and selling less fruits until it’s all wines. Not to mention, 360 fruits are growing on Ginger Island. I can’t wait. I peruse this furniture catalog and I see there’s a bit more stuff than last time, so I will need to sit on this idea for a bit. I visit each room and I think about what I would like to do with this space. It’s Sunday and everyone knows that you buy staircases on this day for jade. I feed solar essence to the sand dragon and the note says, “I have proven myself and I have to check the lumber pile next to my house.” Okay, the pile. Oh, you’re joking me. Well, um, can I do this? Oh, where’d that go? Oh no. Well, I found the club card. Yeah, that’s that’s fine. Where did my chest Is it back there? Is it? Oh dear. Oh no, it is. Oh, for goodness sake. Okay, well that’s a tonight problem. I’m not fixing that right now. I have a little fellow that needs to be given his gift for the day. God damn it. Oh, that’s wonderful. Yeah, the problem with Leo now, he’s on Ginger Island or the mainland. I didn’t find him this day. He is the last villager I have to get to maximum friendship. From now on, I will carry his gift on my person at all times just in case I see him. I am also surprised there’s a new weekly quest from Willie. Catch tropical fish. So, I decide to do that one. While I’m on the island, I serenated Barbara. There we go. Awesome. They can stay there for eternity. Now, after that lovely bit of music, I started on this tropical fishing for Willie. You know how for a long time I was stuck on those two Shelly Rock walnuts? Wow. Oh, thank God. You know, after really. Yeah. As soon as I finished, you know, finally getting to the east side of the place, I get it all on one night. Come on. Anyways, better late than never. And I almost forgot Mr. Cheese’s quest. I take the freshly cooked one as I have an easy method for this as this is my perfection tracker for you. And this is my monster slayer tracker. The first page is done, I think. And I have just four left. I also had some more nuts left in these mechanical boxes in the volcano. Why didn’t the hints direct me here? That was one. And that was number two. Again, I can’t believe it after I waited so long for bananas. And this day, I finally collect the final prismatic shards to please Mr. Chi. With 60 points, I focus on blueprints and I get the blue grass and the magic bait. I spent almost all of day 192 farming bats for the wings as I wanted to make some monster masks to help with those slayer quests. Now, it is time to talk about trinkets. Jesus, I just got $2,000 for killing a slime. That is amazing. So, yeah, these things here. Um, this summons a level two parrot companion who grants you a medium chance to find gold coins when slaughtering monsters. You sell it for a,000, but just from that one slime, I’ve made 2,000 and I have gotten a lot more money today. There are many trinkets in the game, and this one makes me money while I’m fighting. Obviously, it’s good that I’m making some extra money cuz I’m about to buy 700 raw coffees from Sashiasi. I then use these raw coffees to make myself espressos at home. But not just any espressos. These are fresh espressos, and they will sell for just over 100,000 for that cheek quest. done and dusted. With the help of Monster Musk, these slayer quests will be done soon as well. I mean, I have five flame sprites me at this very moment. Luckily, I’ve saved up 100 shards to buy these shoes by this point. Every time I come here, I forget to bring 10 diamonds for this diamond hunter book, but I have very good luck this morning. So, it sounds like a skull cave diamond kind of day. Instead of refining all my animal products, I chuck all of these in the fridges on this occasion. So, I have some animal things for any cooking recipes I will need to do at some point. A little while ago, I refused to pay 1,600 for bombs, but I am more inclined to do so now. Plus, I don’t use musk on these occasions, so I still make a point to stop and deal with these near extinct animals for my own personal slayer goals. This was my haul today. Not bad. I’m also progressively getting bigger hauls every Saturday, which is good stuff. There’s actually a lot of stuff I never sold for the collections tab. The funny thing is I have almost all of this just sitting in chests. So, believe me when I say this, I’ve spent some time going through all my chests and selling everything that I could. It’s also this Halloween day or something. I don’t know. I don’t get out much, but I am here purely to buy this jacko-lantern recipe and the rare crow actually. I then spent a shameful amount of time trying to find my way through this maze. I’ll be honest, I eventually looked it up. All of this for a single prize ticket, which wasn’t worth it. I’m going to Mr. the cheese casino. I drop my club card and inside I see something really interesting. Oh, here we go. File on me. He He He has a file on me, people. Steps taken is 188,000. Gifts given is 603. That’s a lot of gifts. Yeah, it is. Is it day 196? It is indeed day 196. Dirt ho 2500. Items crafted 5700. items cooked and trash recycled. Monster slain, fish caught, lines cast. Okay, fair enough. That’s a decent ratio. Uh, seeds sewn, items shipped. Well, there you go. That was a lot of presents, by the way. Anyways, I will eventually come back for this rare crow that this fella sells. But for now, it’s back to extinguishing those flames. I make a detour around 8:00 p.m. because I recall pirates being in this cove on Sundays. I am here purely to play. and win darts with one of them three times to be exact for some walnuts. And after a short while, I have won all the nuts that I can. I only had three more to go. Actually, old mate points me north. Fair enough. Mr. Cheese quests is either to get 50,000 points in Juno Cart or level 100 in Skull Cave without eating or drinking. I’ve never actually played the Junimo Cart before. That still applies. Skull Cave it is. The parrot says there’s a nut encased in a fire mountain gadget. So, there is one in the volcano. The volcano is hot. I’m buying a lot of hay, not because of that reason, but because it’s winter on the mainland, and my animals will need a stash of hay for the season. I then killed one more sprite, so they’re done. And I kid you not, 1:00 a.m. My last gadget thing, and voila, the nut was in here. The bird said I had one hidden in the pages of the journal. I know this is going to be number 10, which is also going to be the ostrich egg. What about the other one? So, I randomly started digging in spots I knew they once were. Oh my god. Oh my god. I guess the reason I missed this one is because the the trees there. Okay. Right. Well, the last one that I need to find then is in the journal scrap. I need to find the journal scraps more reliably if I’m completely honest. Yep, I won’t get that last night until I get that journal scrap. I had a bit of a look and saw that journal scraps drop more frequently from monsters. So, volcano runs it is. But side quest, I go and catch the legendary winterfish because I haven’t yet. And I transform this little room into a little coffee section which I complete by the next morning. I plant some tea saplings here as well. And I use deluxe retaining soil. And I watered these once and now they are watered forever. Imagine that. I also started decorating my house. One thing that keeps bothering me are the carpets. They never fit into a room or the room doesn’t fit with it. I tried multiple ones, but eventually I give up on the carpets. So, it’s day 200 now and I’m really cracking down on these collection tabs, filling in all the blanks. This also involves fishing up anything I’ve missed. Today, I wanted to work towards the minerals. You know what’s funny? Two of these are the regular and the fire cords. I never sold these or donated them. I’ve been holding on to these the entire time. Goodness gracious me. Oh my god, that’s actually really funny. Oh, that that is too good. Okay, fair enough. I took a little moment to look at all these others in my chest and I found I also never donated this calite. So, I have three missing, but I also have artifacts missing, and I was under the impression I can find them in artifact troves. So, I spent all of my omni geodess, cracked everything else, and found nothing I was looking for, and so I had to go looking for more geodess. The following morning, I sold hundreds of wines, followed with getting two minerals I wanted. I used these new totems to try and find the artifacts I was missing, but with no luck. I don’t want to keep looking for a mineral, and the last one is a dolomite. I saw that they can also spawn out of a coral fish pond. So, I set one up hoping to do this passively. I brought this wizard and aridium bar, but it made me remember there’s a quest for this guy at some point to unlock the ability to buy obelisks. The thing is, I forgot I had started this quest ages ago, and I was under the impression I hadn’t started it yet. See there? I’m trying to activate this obelisk summoning thing, and this can only be done after I’ve done the quest for him. Plus, I keep forgetting, but here’s what I made from a wine day. 350,000 or so and nowhere near my maximum yet. There is an achievement I need to get which is to take someone to the cinema. However, I need to pay all boy Morris 500,000 to replace this old warehouse with a cinema of which I do. I also randomly buy this bouquet from Pierre. I plant some pineapples and tus for completion reasons and I find one missing artifact using this treasure totem. I forgot I had to go to level 100 in Skull Cave for Mr. Chi. So, I wasted 100 stairs doing that right now. And I finally got the last artifact with the treasure totem in this forest area. A little later, I was digging up the beach because there was an achievement for reading all the books. And I thought this meant the museum books and I was missing one. But no, it’s referring to these special power giving books and I’m missing two and also a few other things. I cheated naturally and I saw that if I go behind Clint’s shop and break stuff down, there is a book here. This one gives me a greater chance to find trash in trash cans. Banger. It’s the fishing competition. But this is the first thing I notice. The very first thing I noticed is this. So the humans have come here. They wanted to have their festival. They see a family of, you know, rabid raccoons in their little house. They they put up a wall. Or did the raccoons put up a wall? Either way, I won by catching the most fish with my parrot trinket sitting on my head because that trinket is actually a parrot. I feel like a pirate. I investigate this now completed movie theater. I need to get two tickets, one for me and one for my guest. I choose Leo because a he’s the last one left to max out on friendships, and he’s probably never seen a movie before, so this should be exciting for him. While he waits, I get some snacks and beverages and proceed to watch The Miracle of the Cold Star Ranch. I don’t care to explain this film to you. All that matters is that Leo is enjoying the film. So there you go. Achievement is done. Everyone is now maxed out. This horrid grind to max out all friendships is finally done. And speaking of people, ooh la la. Hello Robin. The funny thing is Robin is not here with her family at all. Robin is here indeed with two younger bachelors. That’s not sus at all. I grabbed the new chest, a repeat, same as last time, because it gives me more points. I’m back on the island the next day, and I just happen to have my bouquet on me. Ooh la la. Well, um, I’ve been thinking about this, so there you go. That’s just made up my mind. Hello. Hello. Can I give this to you? You want to get more serious? I feel the same way. Well, there you go. Hello. Emily has a big smile on her face. Are you having fun, Armies? You need to remember to take breaks every now and then as well. Are you having fun, Artemies? Yes, I am. I like how it said she had a huge smile on her face. And look at this, guys. This is not what you wear to the beach, mate. Well, just by a whim, I picked Emily this time. Very nice. I also get a new trinket, a fairy wand that heals you over time. As you can see, I’m running around and I get ticks of three health back. It’s quite nice. So, I’m here slaying monsters and blowing everything up as this will be the best chance to get me those missing journal scraps. There is one. There we go. There we go. Finally, finally, finally. Okay. Well, that’s good news. That is wonderful. Good news. That was journal scrap number 10, which also leads me to discover the final walnut and my first ostrich egg. Because I felt like I was on a good luck streak, I went back the next day to get that last journal. And I did get it. I partake in that squid fishing competition again because I saw that the book I’m missing can be obtained through the top tier prizes. And not today, it seems. I probably smell like fish, but let’s go and see my significant other. She’s probably at work. She has a steady job. Oh, she looks adorable over there. She’s got her hat. I’ve got my hat. Oh, sassy gussy, mate. Business has been really good tonight. I’m pleased. Really, what is Sam buying? Goodness me. We’re going to have a lot of fun together. I just know it. Well, I have got you this. Oh, this is perfect. I don’t know. See, we have a healthy relationship, but I need to teach myself how to cook. And I start methodically cooking all the recipes tonight. Start. It’s Saturday and I start this day by doing that last attempt at handing in squid for that last book, but sadly he doesn’t give it to me. I think the only other way I can get it is from the book vendor in year three. An important question from Emily next. I do know how to cook that and Emily looks like you’re already 10 out of 10. Wonderful. It literally took 2 days. Maybe that relationship book came in clutch. This night I fill my kitchen with 12 fridges and these will be filled with everything. I collect these coffee beads, but 15 of them will go into the selling bin so that I get that poly culture achievement the next morning. Louis has also sent me a letter that I need to get a mermaid pendant if I want to marry someone. And speaking of which, that certain someone has also asked me to meet her in the secret woods tonight for a camping trip. Now, it’s currently winter and the mermaid pendant dude doesn’t rock up during winter. It needs to be raining, so I make myself a rain totem so I can trick the game into thinking that it’s raining tomorrow. But please note that today is the 14th of winter. That’s not important right now. I have a camping trip to go to tonight, but I also have level 100 of Skull Cave to dive to, so I’m doing that right now. I’m still making sure to kill these Rexes when I see them. Winter isn’t the best time to go camping, I imagine. But this is fun, isn’t it? Asks Emily. Is she shaking with the cold? Emily, it is incredibly chilly. It is in the middle of winter and it’s snowing. Well, she nuzzles in for a cuddle. Thank god my dude is there in a short sleeve. He’s probably freezing. Well, the moment is ruined when a bear rocks up and we both flee inside the tent. But the other sleeping bag was left outside. No way she’s checking with a bear out there. Now, do I mind sharing a sleeping bag with you? Well, from the looks of that, we did more than share a sleeping bag. Amazingly, I wake up in my bed, though. Was that a dream? Nope. Yep. Thanks for joining me last night. I had a great time. I’m actually glad to hear I’m actually glad that beer showed up. See you soon. Yeah. Yeah. Now that definitely means that we um did the thing. Well, if we’re engaging in that sort of behavior, I need to pop the question. I used the rain totem last night, so all mates should be on the beach, which he isn’t. Why? Well, I read why. [Applause] Oh my god. Okay. He will appear between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., you know, in this little section here, and only on rainy days. He can appear in winter if a rain totem is used, but does not appear during the night market, even if it is rainy. Now, I specifically did it this time, right? But guess what today is? It’s the bloody night market. Can you believe that? That is ridiculous. Oh, that is just that is disgraceful behavior. Come on, man. Unbelievable. Right. Okay. I think I have one more truffle left. I think that’s it. If I stuff it up a second time, that’s it. That I won’t be getting married. Not during winter. I can’t believe that. Hey. Oh my god. Okay, look at this people. Look at this. This is all good to go. Speaking of which, these are also good to go. Yep. So, those fruits are ready, but I won’t harvest them until Saturday. I don’t want two random days of collecting fruit. But hey, I got a new chest, and I take the one to get to the bottom of the dangerous mines in a week. I start my descent today. The mines have new monsters, a different ocean type vibe. A killing this slime gave me a whole radioactive bar. I take a break and I go explore the night market, get this portrait, and then I get this upright piano cuz why not? I get Mr. Submarina here to take me down into the depths. I catch all the fish I can down here. Octopus, spookish, blobfish, and the midnight squid. That’s all of them, and I teleport out. I couldn’t remember why I wasn’t getting the wizard quest done, the one to get the obelisks. And that’s because I did half of it a very long time ago and I forgot I was already doing it. I ran into the sewers luckily. I fought my way through the swampy area here and I got the dark talisman all boy was looking for which really confused me at the time again. I had completely forgotten this was in fact my next step. I didn’t learn my lesson as I go back into the mines and nothing overly interesting happens. Just making my way down really. I make my way down into my coffee room and this is how it looks. Quite nice. I get myself back to that weird triangle bird leg thing and I discover, oh, I must have had this quest ages ago and I just forgot that I had to get the talisman. But I do remember this. I teleport to this dodgy place. There is a dodgy goblin there and he won’t let me pass without a certain something. So, I back away for now. I go get a void egg from all boy Crobas, two of them. And I toss them in here to turn into mayo. I believe I got the second one to sell in case I had to. While they are mayoing up, I get back into the mines and I come across my first radioactive ore node, which I promptly mine up. I get down to level 40, the cold levels. But here, it’s an odd forest setting. But it was time to leave. I make sure to sell everything I need to for my collections tab. And this does include the radioactive ore and the bar. So, I’m planning to marry Emily. My Santa gift human this time is Emily. What a coincidence. I then stand in front of this goblin, showing him my fishing prowess by catching a void salmon. I then give the void mayonnaise to this handsome fellow who lets me pass, and I enter the witch’s hut. Inside, I snatched the wizard’s magic ink, and I realized I could have done this quest a very long time ago. Oh well. In my defense, it was a quest, right? Why did I not have a quest tab or something indicating I was currently doing something for the wizard? All right, it doesn’t matter. I’m here now. Pointy hat allows me to use the summoning thing. And I’m interested in five things. The four obelisks and the golden clock as I need them to complete the game. As I peruse these, yeah, I should be able to make these. Money is my only concern. The golden clock costing 10 million by itself. Oo, tough grind. I further my descent into these dangerous mines. Do you see that slimer ghost? Yeah, avoid him at all cost. He vomits on you, making eating and drinking quite out of the question. I find another trinket, the magic quiver. This one shoots arrows at nearby enemies every second or so. This is it in action. Oh, that is amazing. Does that kill them? That is fantastic. Oh, that is so good. I like that. That is really nice. This night I found that I had one more truffle which I made into the oil for this totem. Making it rain now should work. An animal has hatched on day 215. A new ostrich chick has hatched. Hatched. It’s a big one. We’re gonna call this ostrich bromo. Oh no. Oh bro, mate. That is just not what you call an ostrich. But all right, I will go with it. It’s perfectly fine. I see no problem with this hat body. Forget bromo. Do you see that? It’s raining in winter even. It’s a miracle. I get to actually buy this mermaid pendant from this fine looking fellow. Okay. Well, let’s have a look here. Uh, is she still in my room? Yes, she is. Both of these sisters don’t leave the room until now. We want to do this privately. I accept. Wonderful. See, it’s all private. I’ll set I’ll set everything up. We’ll have this ceremony in 3 days. Okay. Oh, dear. That means I’ll have to finish off that thing. Yeah, I can’t risk that because if I lose that day, I might risk losing that um thingy. I’m talking about that quest in the dangerous mines. I can’t remember whether or not you lose a day when you get married. And because I can’t remember, I need to finish that quest in the mines quickly. Well, apparently these spiders didn’t get the memo. I said I needed to get this done quickly. A monster level is detrimental to that desire, which is magnified when I run into a second such level. much worse than the first. And I get farted on by this ghost, meaning I can’t eat or drink anymore. It is a nasty debuff. I had to flee the mines and come back later. But today is my ancient wine day, and I get to collect all 360 fruits on Ginger Island as well. So, starting next week, I’ll see a massive jump in revenue. I still have about 180ish fruits left on my person, so I have quite a few cakes left to go. I don’t have long before I get married, so I expedite this mining dive by using stairs a lot, but still haltering for any radioactive ore I see. I stop by level 90 this night, and my revenue for about half my fruits not being turned into wine is about 450,000. Now, I will be finishing this quest this day as I’ll be getting married tomorrow. But as I slay this foul creature, I see it dropped me a chi gem. It reminded me that in the dangerous mines, I can get these and galaxy souls, which I’ll cover later. For now, I have reached the bottom. And I attend my wedding dressed exactly the same way. I am not dressed for my own wedding. And nope, I still have this piss pot on my head. And I see that the ceremony was at an ungodly hour in the morning. It’s still 6:00 a.m. the next day. Brutal. But Emily has moved in. She has her own gem type area up there. There’s work to be done. So, we share a quick cuddle and back to it. The perfection tracker is sitting at 51%. It seems there’s still a lot left, but not really. I’m nearly there. I need points, though, so I’m gutted. I have to take repeat quests or gift giving again to get them. I spend these points on recipes, the hypers speed grow, and the deluxe fertilizers. Not that I’ll be using them, but eventually I have to craft one of everything for completionist things. So, I do need those points I mentioned before. What’s nice about the giftgiving one is that if you’re married, you can give your spouse a gift every single day. So, seven out of the 50 gifts you can give to your player, too. So, today was spent doing that. And I thought I missed Abigail. And I saw her go into her house just then, I think. Or was that Abigail? Oh. Oh, dear. Oh, no. I didn’t think I could get this cut scene. Oh no. [Music] I just hope that Emily doesn’t find out about this. It’s called a spirit board. Have you ever used one? I’ve not used one. Put your hands on the planchet with me. Now the spirits will guide us towards A. Look, it’s moving. I can tell you right now that’s not moving. The first letter is I. No. Next is No, it’s not. I’m a married man, Abigail. Well, look at it go. It’s spelling out a I love a Yeah. Yeah. Oops. accidentally knocked over the board. Yep. That was a huge fart you heard. I’m going to ignore that thing from Abigail. I gave more gifts till that thing was done. Then I got Clint to break open all my geodess. Today I finally got the thing I needed for the museum, the dolomite. As you can see, the tabs for minerals and artifacts are all done and dusted. I still have fish left. The regular mutant cup was one. And the slime jack from the swamp area is also one. The next morning, I see Emily is staring at a piece of art called How I Feel About Armies. Uh, I can explain, Emily. I can explain. Hey, someone must have gotten a good night of sleep. You look fresh this morning. I have also eaten and drunk my coffee. Indeed, crab pancakes and espressos every morning. It helped me race into this festival to give Emily her gift. And I also received cookies from Old Mate Granny. And I picked up all of my resins. That’s plus 40. Now on day 222, not 40, but I picked up one ostrich egg from Bromo. This is currently the second last thing I have left to sell. The raccoons have multiplied so much, but they’re still asking for more, and I’ve been doing the side quests the entire time. A new side quest. Get all the obelisks. Let’s start with the Ginger Island one. And this sets me back 1 million gold. I also finished catching all the fish today. The main one was this goi that’s new in the game and I saw that you get it down here at the south of the forest as that was the last fish in the game. Willie sent me a star drop in the mail the next morning. I teleport to Ginger Island with my new obelisk. Also kind of making Willy’s job redundant now. I collect all my fruits here and I wanted to see how it felt doing it this way. I just realized we’re like almost at the end of the year, which means grandpa’s going to come visit me very shortly, isn’t he? Yes, indeed. Good stuff. We actually got all the collections and stuff done before he has um come to visit me. That’s actually really good news. That’s wonderful news. I mentioned all collection things I’ve done. I’ll get there shortly. For now, Emily has given me another star drop, which you get for getting your spouse to 14 hearts or something. Before going to bed, I do a massive cookout. I make a disgraceful mess. No cleanup, just dish after dish after dish just being stashed in separate fridges. Something I’m missing is sugar. Ages ago, I went on a spending spree at Pierre and I bought a 100 of each base ingredient, but I must have forgotten the sugar. I’ll get them tomorrow. Right now, I made 883,000 because the previous week’s fruits came into clutch. And that’s also a sweet Jim berry sword as well, which was in fact the final shipping item. That is all my collection tabs done. 10 million achievement and the full shipment. Phenito done. But you know what? I’m still forgetting. I can almost afford them all today. Actually, I can probably go ahead and get another one. No, no, no, no, no, no. Mate, you came here specifically to get stairs. What are you doing? Hey, up still forgetting the stairs despite the fact I come here specifically for them. A baby brain people. But I remembered to get a lot of sugar. And I said something about affording all of them today. I was referring to the obelisks. I got the mountain and the beach one. The desert one cost 1 million. I’m going to get that next week. But now I go and complete 98% of this cooking tab. I need to get a shrimp for the cocktail. No worries. And I don’t have the last recipe. I remember Sussy Gussy selling something on Ginger Island, like a drink or something, so I’ll have to catch him there. It’s the last night of winter, by the way, my second year. I was giving myself some footnotes for this recording when something really awkward happened. Ah, it’s the first day of spring tomorrow. Beautiful. Should we have a baby? You’re asking me on the first day of spring? Yeah, sure. Why not? Let’s do it. Um, we went and got the couple of things that we needed. We got a singular shrimp and the sugar and Oh, never mind. I am being judged. Mate, I’m currently procreating with Emily. This is not a time to come and visit me. My dear boy, you are doing that so wrong. Oh, no. He He timed that very well. Grandpa, I’ve got a raging heart on right now. It’s been many years since we last spoke. You were just a little boy. Do you remember? It’s not a time to remember, mate. Look how far you’ve come. Yeah. Yeah. I’m naked right now, mate. Though you may have forgotten me. I’ve been here all along. Yeah. This is very uncomfortable. You see, my body has departed. Do not speak to me about bodies right now. This will, but my heart will always remain in Stardew Valley. Classic. [Music] You’ve been here 2 years now. Indeed I have, mate. I’m so proud of you, my lad. You’re a better farmer than I ever was. And you’ve brought great honor to the family name. I can feel it now. My spirit is finally put to rest. Bless you. No idea what you did, mate. Maybe you were a peeping Tom in your time. And that’s why you needed me to, you know, save our family name. But here you are peeping Tom and me while I am procreating. Thank you very much, mate. Can you leave? I’ll tell you what else is in my hands right now. Farewell. Yeah, Emily’s fabulous. Happy New Year, honey. Let’s make this a special one. Last night was uh truly special. Um you may have been very uninterrupted in our activities and our frivolities, but um I had to concentrate really hard, Emily. Nothing to do with you, love. Nothing to do with you. It’s It’s me in this case. It is me to an extent. Never mind. Let’s watch that thing light up. Is all four going to light up? They better do, mate. He’s giving me a a grand applause for my performance last night. Thanks, Grandpa. A new year, new me. Not new quest from Mr. Chi. I love the variety. again. I’ll be playing Santa. However, the residents have a new quest. Pam wants to get sloshed on some potato juice, and I’ll be obliged to help her. My fields now are just what I want. All those strawberry seeds I made a while back, and the rest is potato seeds for Pam. A new endeavor. I still have to craft everything in the game, and I’ve had my eyes on this workbench, which can access every adjacent chest. I didn’t get back to this thing until the following night. I was giving people gifts, you see. But next to this machine, I have two chests with a lot of base resources, and it interacts with the contents of those chests. Last time I did this, I painfully gathered all the materials for each craftable item. But this time, it’s the other way around. Resources are there, and I craft every single thing I can, and I dump them in a crafted chest. You can tell if you made a thing or not. It tells you down below. I tell you what, this workbench made this a very smooth process. I got a lot done. I’ve completed this week’s GH quest and the final recipe I can buy from all boy hair is the hopper recipe. This is where my perfection tracker is sitting. It’s coming along nicely and I’ve worked mostly through my crafting section, but I get a feeling I might be missing a recipe. I might need to buy one somewhere. The following morning, that 89% crafting has become 99%. I’m missing one thing. It’s sure as hell not grass. Not this time. I remembered I bought all my grass the last time I played, which really threw me off. But not this time. I go and check every single shop NPC, even Clint, as there might be a new recipe. I don’t know about the sassy gussy. No, he doesn’t. But he’s not in a shop, which means I can go buy that cooking recipe from him on Ginger Island, which I do. The tropical curry, the last thing I needed for the cooking. I was checking everywhere, and then I realized it was going to be that deluxe scarecrow. I needed to make sure that I have all the rare crows to get that one sent to me in the mail. I bought the dwarf one here and I needed that casino one before I go to the casino. I make that final cooking recipe, the tropical curry. Good stuff. All cooking things are done. I then slap this bioche coins machine times until I was able to afford this rare crow. I should receive something in the mail tomorrow. That’s in the near future. In the present, I have three monsters left to slay. a few Pepper Rexes, half of the serpents, and almost all of the mummies are on my list. Mummies can only be slain with bombs when they are down, so they are always last on my list. In my mailbox is this deluxe scarecrow recipe. So, I make this bad boy and boom, that’s all of the crafting things done and dusted. It was Saturday, of course, so I did my money-making thing, which is 941,000 at this time. I calculated that I need three more weeks of resin collection to be at full capacity. I’m on my way to buy the desert obelisk. But with this being said, I will no longer have to buy any trips or wait on Pam or Oh, here we go. Help your forest neighbors grow their family. Oh, I should probably hear this. Yeah. So, those raccoons are serenating me. My recording didn’t pick up the achievement for help your forest friends. So, here it is. I did not expect to get that. I was like, your new neighbors seem to be thriving. Yeah, I have caused an infestation of raccoons. I will be held liable by some kind of legislative body, I’m sure. Hey, buddy. Oh, do you want more? Yep. I don’t see myself helping them anymore. Goodbye. I have a desert obelisk to get. That’s all for. Boom. Done. I celebrate by slaying some more monsters. The gold making trinket is very powerful. Look at all that money I’m raking in by slaying these foul naves. I have cheap points and I buy the key to the town and my first galaxy soul. One out of three. I will need two more for my weapon upgrades. New quests as it’s Monday. Seeing as I still need points for galaxy swords, I will continue to do them. I haven’t done the invasion of the skull cavern this playthrough, so I choose this one. I buff up and I put three rubies into my sword for attack damage. But I also start doing the galaxy swords because I thought these would stack, which they don’t. Post-prouction me sees this. I just wasted 60 shards and three rubies. But I had to infuse this weapon three times with galaxy source for an achievement, so it wouldn’t have bothered me anyways. So, the skull cave invasion. Have you seen serpents like this before? Absolute nightmare fuel they are. These mummies look really aggressive as well. This is quite a lot of them. And I had a question. Does killing these mummies and other serpents count towards my slayer goals? Nice. Oh, that’s sick, mate. Yep, indeed. That means mummies are done. And as I’m fighting these big boy bats and Rexes, I’m also elated to see that the Peppa Rexes are also finished. There is but one monster left, the serpents. In fact, the next day I do get this. I also complete the cheese thing. So, the cavern is back to normal. I confirm I’m done with the slayer stuff. And yes, all monsters are ticked off here. You’re joking me. I never killed all the doggies. Wow. We’re going to have to do something about that. I got 6 minutes left on this thing. 1 minute is all I needed. They are done. A further confirmation with the perfection tracker. I don’t have my golden clock and I need more star drops. Okay, then I need to make more money. So, I went gold hunting and I started to clear my salad down below. Emily wants to make me something special. She says she can’t tell me what it is, but she needs 200 fiber or so, and I say, “Yeah, sure.” I also deliver the potato drinks to Pam, and she’s been waiting quite a while. I’m also aware that the final achievements I’ll be getting in the game are related to this game, The Journey of the Prairie King. All right. It must be one of these. So, what do we have here? This is Okay, here’s Journey of the Prair Prairie King. And we shoot like this. Yeah, I give it another go. And I played for a little while. I’ve not played this game much. It’s going to be hard, especially as I know what one of the achievements is. I’ll get to this soon. Right now, Emily gets her 200 fiber and I restart my crystalariums down below and what’s going to be a smithing room. I want to produce diamonds for extra cash, but I choose to do jades just for a little while longer. But I did hunt some gold and I have a small amount that I can do diamonds at this time as the gold was for extra crystallariums. These two up here will be my visual cues so that I know that the machines are down down below. I tried to do some decorating next, but I find it hard to get something I like. What I do like is that my money is starting to break 1 million per week, but I’m also making 50,000 every single day from the animals. It is day 238 and things are starting to speed up and wrapping up at this point. I’m getting quite close with finishing the cakes expansion. And Emily has given birth to a baby girl. We name her Julie. Emily says that she will feed Julie all day and that I can work on the farm, which is um giving me flashbacks from about 10 months ago. You know, I recently became a father, so I know this is very hard work. Julie is sleeping. If Emily’s going to go ahead and feed Julie all day, she’s going to be very tired. I can tell you right now, she’s going to be incredibly tired. I know because I’m a father. I’m also tired at this point and nowhere keen to do the chi beans. The skull cave it is. I also find where that last star drop has been hiding. It’s right there. There we go. Okay, so we’ve just done that. Completely forgot about that. Completely forgot about that. Okay, let’s have a look. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Here we go. Found all the star drops. Yes. Okay. So, remember to check the um the museum person. He doesn’t send it to you. You have to pick it up. So, if I didn’t check that, I would probably have gone to the very end going, “Where the hell is the stuff, right?” Okay, fair enough. The final thing for this thing is the golden clock with 10%. Goodness gracious me. Okay. Well, there you go. I’m back at that desert festival, and I remembered what Gil said at my piss poor effort in the skull cavern last time. Well, this time I will dive as deep as I want, all the way down to 145. Deep enough to complete the cheek quest as well. Now, Gilmate is impressed as so much so that it gives me lots of calico eggs and his old hat, which I shall never place on my head. However, this caught me off guard. What? Why does this fell have an Emily portrait? And I guess I feel compelled to buy this. Excuse me, love. Why do you have a Emily portrait? It’s adorable, but why? That’s a big question. Why? Well, whatever. It looks nice in the house. I want Lily to have a nice doggy house as well. I moved her ball here and made a nice little doggy area, but I reckon I want another dog. I got my last galaxy salt and I was able to make the most powerful weapon and I got the achievement for it. The next ones is read every book and reach the summit. I get Robin to move the dog balls around for me. I plan to make a nice little doggy area for them. Of course, I named the next one Ben after an old friend cuz he’s a dog. Emily had finished her secret project. A secret project I was working on. Yes, it’s a brand new handmade outfit for you. Okay, I guess I’ll be wearing genie pants, Emily’s magic shirt. Okay, I’ve received all these things and Okay, I’ve always loved sewing and making crafts, so I thought it would be nice to make you something by hand. I have I had a lot of fun. I hope it fits right and that the fiber isn’t too itchy. Oh my god, it’s a completely fiber thing. There’s boots, hat, shirt, and pants. It’s a complete outfit. Well, I have no choice. I’m going to have to wear it now. When you wear those clothes, you’ll think of me and you’ll know I’m here waiting for you to come home safe. Okay. God damn. What a wife. You don’t have to subtly scooch towards me. You can just give me You can just embrace me. It’s fine. Did he like um upgrade these cutscenes? Cuz I don’t recall them being that cute with everyone else. Now, the only thing is the boots. Am I going to? Yeah. You know what? It’s not that huge of a thing. Yeah, that’s fine. You know what’s perfect? The bird kind of finishes it to be honest because you also have this bird that’s following you right now. It is beautiful. [Music] Oh, that’s classic. All right. Can we um go ahead and I guess we have to put this in here now, don’t we? Yeah, it’s fine. I still have my farmer pants, but yeah. Okay, that’s my outfit from now to the end of the game. Yep, that’s going to be the, you know, the the the thumbnail part for 100% completion. Yeah, that’s what I’m going to look like. Oh, it’s gorgeous. I like it. This is Ben, by the way. Hello, Ben. Nice. I like it. Uh yeah, I like it a lot. However, I don’t think I’m overly pleased with the placement of the greenhouse at the moment. I think I may want to make my storage depot here. Yeah, I think my storage depot here would be better. And the greenhouse down here somewhere. I think that might be the better way of of going about it. So, I shuffled things around. Greenhouse where I said, the obelisks behind the cow paddic and the keg sheds behind the chicken paddic. The money is climbing up still. We need 10 million for that golden clock. I checked the book merchant. It’s year three and he could have that book I need, which he didn’t. I later discovered I could get what I’m looking for from artifact troves. Speaking of which, there you go. It’s right there. There we go. Read every single book. You’ve learned a new power. Achievement well read. Beautiful. again. Here is the achievement for you. Godamn my recording setup. What day is it? It is Sunday. So, let’s see what Dolores, the wife of Morris, has for sale. Um, yeah. Why is everybody selling portraits of my wife? Why is that a thing? I would imagine then if you are Oh, no. There’s probably someone out there who’s gone ahead, married every single candidate, collected every single portrait, and hung it up on a wall somewhere. If someone hasn’t done that, I’ll be disappointed cuz that’s it’s not something I would do, but it is something I can see somebody else doing. Like, um Oh, you’re kidding me. Of course. Okay, so I had a bit of a rage moment and I made a discovery. You can move your house. You can actually move your house. Oh my god, you can move your house. Wow, that is something I did not know you can do. I had no idea you could do that. I mean, I’ve been playing this game for how long? It looks like I bought Stardy Valley on the 3rd of December 2016. So, a almost a year since it’s been out at that point. So, my apologies. I’ve been playing Stardy Valley for probably 8 years. Anyways, I was setting up my new crafting hub and having a good laugh. Oh, this image is so funny. Oh, goodness gracious me. All right. Well, there you go. So, this thing should be able to make everything now here, right? There’s one reason I still want cheap points, and it’s this giant aquatic sanctuary. So, the freshly cooked quest again. I’m slapping my last chest I want in this area into position. The first time I did this, and honestly, I wish I made use of this workbench sooner. It would have been really helpful, but these days, it’s just grinding out resources to make items I need to make the 10 million for the golden clock. On the topic of money, the gold trinket is really helpful to make a little on the side from killing monsters. It has a chance to drop x amount of coins. And I got five coins here, which was equal to 1,250 gold, which is good. This happens quite a lot, by the way. Work hard, play hard. That’s the motto. Nothing like going to the town flower festival and asking my significant other for a dance. I like how you can probably ask someone else. I I guess I guess Clint overheard that. No, Clint. Emily will not dance with you, mate. I apologize, but you can stand in the corner and be sad. While Clint is being a sad sack, I am tearing up the dance floor. About those trinkets again. They come in levels. The higher the level, the more powerful they are. The anvil is used to make them more powerful or reroll their levels. I’m not exactly sure, but it cost three aridium bars. I had a spare level three money-making one and I tried it and it went to level four which makes it much better for making money. I have a lot of Aridium bars and I was planning on selling them. So, I relearned my mining skill this day and I went for the route where I can sell my bars for 50% more profit. I see Emily is out here meditating. Julie is asleep inside. Might as well give you some trees to have some shade. I think I also made some money today and sold a bunch of bars and gems as well. So, I clocked 1.4 million this day. It’s the end of the weekend and the last day of spring, year 3, and I have just over 5 million on me. So, halfway to that golden clock at this time. It’s day 253, the first of summer. Because it’s summer, I have an entire blueberry field. The diamond crystals are slowly expanding, and I’ll make a decent chunk of money there every 5 days as well. I’ve spent days adding furniture to the house. I still have the furniture catalog sitting around, but it’s fine. I like the vegetation furniture from the Junimo catalog. It looks nice. But whenever I have a good luck day, I also dive into the skull cavern for aridium ore to be smelted and sold. I should be making use of that perk. I also gave a golden cracker to Bromo at some point. So, she lays two eggs. Remember, an ostrich egg turns into 10 mayo, meaning there are 20 mayo right there. Imagine a barn with 12 ostriches and all of them have eaten a cracker. 24 eggs, meaning 240 mayonnaise from a single barn. That’s crazy numbers. Do you remember ages ago I mentioned I hated getting extras from animal products? Well, I got into the rhythm that by the end of the animal route, the first barn was completed with its cheese makers and I tossed any extras in there, making full use of all the milks I got every single day. I then decorated the kids’ room and this is going to be a reading room with some fish tanks. I find it difficult to decorate Stardew Valley, to be honest. It’s it’s hard to decorate in Stardew Valley. I just don’t get the I don’t know. It’s not It’s It’s It’s not Dinkham. It’s sad to say, but it’s not the Dinkham level. I played 200 Days of Dinkham a little while ago. I built a little village. I ripped it all up, and I remade the entire thing into a booming town. I was quite proud of that project. I adored the Dinkham decorating and landscaping and such. It’s been a tick. And I have this room filled up with crystalariums, and I’ll fill them up with diamonds once the last jades produce. There’s no need for stairs anymore. I prepare this doggy area a bit. I place some hay floors for the little pools and I plant a few trees for some shade. And speaking of green things, I can put these junima wool bush things outside. And I quite like it. It gives the feeling of a retaining wall. And again, it’s been another little while. How’s the dog area looking like? Oh yeah, these are like the ugliest trees I could have chosen for this. I then go and try that new challenge bait. It’ll hook three fish. If I lose the fish, it makes it two fish again. Then it’s one fish. That’s going to be three tilapia. I haven’t tried that arcade game again for a little bit. So, I give it another go. But a bit halfass really. I have left this thing until the very last moment pretty much. I’ve looked up f um the challenge for Priary King. There’s 13 levels or so. And what you can do is you can save between each level or something like that. So, what I’m going to do is I’m probably just going to quickly finish off this last week. From the looks of it, I will most likely finish it off. There’s no way I won’t have the money on hand. And then after that’s done, then I’ll start working towards it. Yeah, it’s going to be it’s going to be tough. It’s going to be very tough. It’s Sunday, day 273, and I have the funds to get the golden clock. I slap it in the corner here, and it looks just fine. Produce and forage shipped, 100%. Obelisk on farm, four out of four. Golden clock, yes. Monster Slayer Hero, yes. Great friends, 100%. That’s why you do it. I actually wanted I forgot whether or not that was required. Uh, the great friends thing is very tedious. Farmer level. Yes. All star drops, cooking, fishing, caught. 100%. We’re done. Okay, we are done and dusted. So that means I get to neglect everything and just go and sleep again. No name. You have taken me this entire journey, but I can run up the mountain myself in my my what’s this? Genie outfit. Yes, the genie outfit. Here we go. Perfection. Reach the summit. New achievement. Perfection. Oh, good stuff. Hello. Hello. How are we? I’m surprised you’ve beaten me here. And I thought you were going into town. So, who’s looking after Julie? It’s so beautiful up here. Indeed, it is very beautiful. Indeed, very beautiful. This is my second time playing this game until this point, but the title of this video isn’t 300 days, is it? No, it is. I played 100% of Stardew Valley. See this? I got the perfection achievement on the 1st of June. Right now, it’s the 1st of July, and I just finished the draft of the script at just under 40,000 words, but I need to complete those achievements now. I’m going to see you in about 12 hours. Well, um, it didn’t take me as long as I was expecting. Once I got to a point all day where I said, “Okay, today is the day I’m going for these last two achievements, I just knuckled down and I gamed it out.” On those previous occasions in the video where I mentioned I tried it. I didn’t try for very long and obviously died a lot and very quickly, which gave me the impression that I was in for hell. To be fair, when I started, I kind of made it my own little hell. How so? For some reason, I was really fixated on trying to beat the game on my first go. Granted, I would reload the day and keep trying those levels without losing lives. Even if I had already perished once and was no longer able to do the effectus challenge achievement, I still treated it like that for some reason. Constantly running back and back again from my house all the way to the saloon was taking away practice time. So once I stopped that and said, “Let’s just beat the game first. I’m allowed to die. You only need to beat the game to get the first achievement.” So in under 2 hours I got a playthrough where things looked good and I did save my game for that occasion as I got to the final boss. I had saved up a few lives by this point and I watched other people do it so I knew what to expect and I just went beast mode. I knew of the spot I can stand in which I did and I took full advantage of. I was able to beat all boy on this attempt and I did get my first achievement. Only the first achievement because I did die on this playthrough. I got it. Don’t you dare, mate. Okay. Oh my god. This should be an achievement now. Wow. Okay. Hey. Okay. So, you guys are not seeing that because of my stupid recording, but I’ll go for this again in a second. It is the 14th of the 7th. So, the 14th of July, 2025. I’ll get this in a second. I got this first one on the 14th of July, just before 9:00 p.m. What’s better is that it got me the actual arcade game box sent to me in the mail. I had to go through my mailbox because everyone has sent me junk and I had to clear it out once I got this bad boy set up next to my bed. The second part was actually easier. Hey, future me. I’m actually going to um start recording here. I’m going to continue on. I’m up to this point and I haven’t died yet. And because this is now the the attempt to not die at all, I’m actually going to just record. I’m not going to, you know, there’s no point not recording now. Okay. Granted, again, I saved each day cheesing it, of course. My only gripe was that I didn’t get a lot of coin drops on this particular playthrough. I’m in a bit of a predicament. Yep. I was in a predicament. Yeah. So, that’s going to be really difficult. I don’t think my gun is strong enough. I don’t think I got enough coins in my uh little playthrough. I was in the last sections with the bats and mummies, and I only had one level of each skill, speed, attack, and damage. I made a mistake when I was able to buy a new upgrade, but I decided to wait and save my coins for some reason. Okay, that’s good. That’s very good. But it’s 30. You’re joking me, right? Okay, we’re left with a decision here. I need to get I need to get this one here. This is the one that I need to get. I wanted to save it for damage. So, I’m going to actually go ahead and skip this. Is that a good Is that a good idea, though? Hm. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to skip this right now. Okay. No good luck here with this one with um drops or anything. Jesus, that was [Music] I just got absolutely stomped. You know that bloody Red Bull gives you wings ad and all the guys just dog pile that guy. Oh yeah, that was me in that instance. That was definitely me in that instance. I didn’t have enough coins then, but on the next vendor occasion, I had enough for both attack and damage upgrades, but only able to buy one, which means I gave up a whole upgrade opportunity, which was an annoying flaw. The last few levels, I would just reload and reload again, and I finally got them without dying. I mostly relied on shared dumb luck with good drops. Nope. No weapon drop. Okay, fair enough. Ryder. Um, we would have been able to buy it. Can I get two? No. Can I please get another one? No. Okay, so that’s it. This is it. This is the final one. This is my setup, but I don’t think I can do this. Okay, let’s see how this goes. Anyways, I got to the final boss with no special power abilities and this made it quite difficult. Can do this, which is fine, but then he’s going to come towards me and then I if he starts shooting, you know, sideways. I had to pay attention and learn as best I can. And after a dozen attempts, I got lucky and I got the final kill. Okay. Yep. The last bullet of yours moves slower than the rest. Okay, I’m getting better. I’m getting better. And I will get you, mate. I will get you. I want this achievement tonight. I want this tonight. My god, I’m cutting that close. Okay. No, no monsters. Is that him dead? Okay, that’s it. That is facus challenge done. Let’s collect this heart. We’re done. There it is. I’m sorry. I’m going to have to show you after the fact, but you heard the sound effect and I did in the same night. It’s 10:31 right now, people. It’s 10:31. So, you can see my achievement. 10:31 on the 14th of 7 or 14th of July, 2025. Oh my god, I can finally watch Kuma’s backstory. That’s another thing you could say. Yeah, Kuma’s backstory was released on this day as well. the final episode, I think. Oh, wow. Oh, the game is done. Hey, musketeers. Cheers for checking out my 100% Stardew Valley video. I had a blast with this one. Do you want more? How about my 200 Days Dinkham movie or 100% Dredge video? What about 100% Planet Crafter video?
