Hi iv just bought stardew valley and i dont seem to be getting anywhere in the game. I still need to clear my field in the game but cant seem to be making money. Does anyone have any tips when starting out to get going in the game etc? Any help would be appreciated
- plant your seeds near the little pond, this will save you walking time to get new water. - You get 15 parsnip seeds in the beginning, be sure to buy as much kale Patato seeds as you can in the shop. (they have the most retail value and are quick money) - Forage a lot. Go to the beach and forest and sell everything you collect. - practice fishing. Fish are worth a lot and you will get better at the fishing game believe me. It will be frustrating at first. - in the beginning you won't have enough energy to clear the fields of tree and stone. Don't worry, you can work on that little by little. You won't need all of the field in the beginning anyway. - time is your most valuable resource in the game, don't waste it. When you are done on the farm go talk to people. It will come in handy. - do requests that you can find on the bulletin board next to the shop. It's often easy money. Good luck with the game and have fun ^^
Short question. Why are you advising her to get Kale when that is far from the best, Strawberries are the best by quite a margin albeit night accessible to her yet. Which means potatoes for an average of 210~ profit or Cauliflower for 190~. (Kale is on average only 160~ per crop in profits over the entire season). Repair the bridge on the beach as quickly as possible. It gives you access to a secondary smaller beach where money in the form of corals and other things is lying around on the ground. Going there once a day takes little time and nets you a few hundred G at the least.
Yup, Kale is an odd suggestion. Not only are they more expensive than potatos, they are less profitable than potatoes and potatoes also have a chance of yielding multiple crops from one patch. Table pretty much sums it up: Potatoes all day ery day until you get access to Rhubarbs/Strawberries. For Spring only of course.
Yeah, and since you can't get your hand on strawberries before the festival by the time you could plant them the multiple reharvest and processing doesn't beat the next contenders anymore. Therefore the logical choice for the first Spring is going for Potatoes. I'm still a bit upset we don't get to turn it into vodka btw. Turn all the things into alcohol, alternatively pickle them. It makes everything better. Failed to force Haley into one of the kegs so far tho.
Okay im in spring still at min. Do you just put them in the box to sell them? I need a bigger bag still cant carry much so need money to afford one and to upgrade tools etc
Ah sorry my fault about the kale. There was a person who once advised it to me as most profitable. But I guess patato is better. Learn something new everyday. ^^ hope the other tips are usefull despite my mistake. just place them in the box to sell. They are sold in the night so you will have the money the next day. Or you can sell it in the shop for direct money. (If this info is correct it should give you the same amount of money.)
Yes, whatever you want to sell just throw it into the delivery box next to your mail box. You can buy bigger bags at Pierre's store. While you're there don't forget to grab his daughter aswell, she's a player favorite.
Ok then thanks for tips. Do i have to pay money to fix the bridge? Been carrying tonnes of stone and wood round i havent had use for it as of now. What plants are best for each season?
Bridge at the beach? No, only wood. If you want to get them out of your inventory just make a chest. Make several and you can split items based on types. Spring is Strawberry, Summer is Blueberry, Autumn is Cranberry. Basically berries all around all the time.
click esc key and go to the tab crafting (the one with the hammer) if you have enough wood the chest will be highlighted. just click it and voila. chest in your inventory just place it whereever you want.
You can't place the chest too far from where you are standing, also you can't place it on the spot you are currently standing. You can't place a chest on the wooden plasform with the bowl. Just wait till the trees grow again. or go chop random trees outside your farm.
one more thing, don't forget to watch tv it gives usefull tips. on monday and thursday there is livin' of the land. on sunday is queen of sauce. and on wednesday is a re-run of queen of sauce. in the first week there will be no re-run since, well you haven't missed any episodes.
there are small logs in the forest south of your farm. But you can also try to cut down trees for more wood. They cost a lot of energy but you get a lot for back.
