What do you guys think is the hardest bundle?

I use an Easier Fishing mod, because screw vanilla fishing.

I always find the Bulletin Board to be the worst, because each one generally requires something RNG dependent. Dyes requires the Red Cabbage, which cannot be grown in year 1. The damn hippie freak who calls himself a 'wizard', wants not only a Rabbit's Foot, but also a Pomegranate AND to add insult to injury, an Oak Resin which I am always spending as soon as I get on more kegs. The Chef requires a truffle. Marnie requires not one but THREE apples, meaning you've got to have an apple tree down before mid-summer. The only 'easy' one is the Field Research Bundle, but even that needs the damn nautilus shell from the beach in winter.

The Furnace pack is contingent upon getting a fire quartz. If you luck into one from a geode early on, this can very easily be completed by mid-summer (even if it means buying the 5 gold ore from Clint to make the bar). It's probably the easiest pack that doesn't involve straight up money.

The crafts room is fairly straightforward. Forage, bundle get. As long as you tap all three trees and spend a reasonable amount of time in the mines, the exotic forage bundle is a snap.

The Pantry is largely straightforward. For the quality bundle, I typically go with Parsnips, Melons, and Corn. For Parsnips, when I get my level in Farming on day 6, I make 40 fertilizer, and the scarecrow, and put them down 40 parsnips on the fertilizer (and generally around 40 potatoes and whatever else I need to do bundle completion). If that's not enough, I plant another 40 on the fertilizer (re-use the already fertilized dirt). In summer, I do the same with Melons. By this time, I have enough farming skill that I should get all five gold-star melons with the first batch. If not, there's just enough time to put a second batch down. In Summer, I put down 8-16 corn on fertilizer. By mid-fall, I've got all five gold-star corn. No pumpkins needed (except the one for the fall crops bundle, that one goes on Speed-Gro). The tricky one is the Animal Products bundle. Eggs and large milk are easy. Large goat milk and duck egg are a little more annoying. Fortunately, you can skip the wool. And if you get any of them from the Cart vendor, it means being able to delay the upgrades. Artisan bundle typically finishes itself for me, although that may be due to the cave choice being bats instead of shrooms. I can have this done mid-fall of the first year.

Fishing, I won't comment on, since I use a mod to make it easier.

 

The Buletin board, specifically the Enhancement and Fodder bundle, was the last for me to complete since i had no way to get apples and pomegranates. Fruit Trees were basically the last thing i was interested in.

 

I finished all the other bundles ages ago, and I'm drowning in cash and iridium, but I still can't finish that bleeping aquarium.

 

Fruit trees are actually surprisingly profitable now, particularly Pomegranate trees, when put in a greenhouse. Granted, it's not something you probably want to do before getting your greenhouse bundle completed, but fruit trees in the greenhouse are actually one of your most profitable items when being turned into wine.

 

I just finished the Aquarium. Second. Before I even finished the Greenhouse or Vault (Sandfish appeared at the travelling cart!).

Step up yo' fishing game.

 

I have the hardest time with the Fish Tank. I suck at fishing, and when it is raining I think "ZOMG RAIN! TIME TO HIT THE MINES!" and totally forget that some fish are only available when it rains. Plus the Ghostfish being dropped by Ghosts and the fish found only in the secret woods and the fish only found in the desert

 

you can get ghost fish by fishing in the mines though. It's how i got em. Iridium Rod + Cork Bobber gives you a giant bar to catch the fish with.

 

All animal products in bundles. I'm not into the animal farming stuff so I'll have to build all that just for the bundles (or get lucky on traveling cart but would take too much time to check it each day that it is there and possibly never get it)

 

I purchase all the rare fish from the traveling cart xD
The others aren't hard to catch.

 

Definitely the Enchanter Bundle. Unless you get incredibly lucky at the Traveling Cart, you need a Deluxe Coop and a very generous RNG to get it. Chef's Bundle is probably second hardest because you need access to the Secret Woods and a pig, meaning Gold Axe and Deluxe Barn, but the pigs seem to dig up truffles far more readily than the rabbits drop feet.

Fishing bundles have never bothered me. I can fish pretty well (especially with a trap bobber), and it's pretty easy to find fish at the traveling cart, even the exotic ones.

 

The *gold star* ones because I forget about them usually, truffles for the dye set, most of the enchanter's set, and trying to catch a catfish and a sturgeon for the fishing stuff. That's the last two to get, but GEEZ they are a pain, the way they dart around suddenly and so much of the time...think I need an *easier fishing mod*...

 

The animal products one and Enchanter's bundles were the hardest for me. The animal one isn't THAT difficult, I just didn't get around to getting animals until Fall of Year 2. I didn't have as many issues with the fishing one as I thought since I'm pretty bad at fishing in this game. Once you get your fishing skill up and the iridium rod, it's not too bad. Plus, some of the fish show up at the cart fairly often, so that made things easier. The hardest part of the fish bundles is remembering to catch seasonal fish, or ones that only come out when it rains.

 

Fish tank one seems difficult for me and is the only one I have left open on current file. I need a tilapia and a redsnapper and I think one other one.

That said, enchanter is pretty close, though if you have at least two rabbits in your coop you should get a rabbit's foot soon enough without having to bother with the serpents...

 

Fishing isn't too bad if you have a detailed guide, but consider this.
There are five major places to fish(lake, town, ocean, river, woods). There are two major times of day(day, night), two weather conditions (wet, dry) and 4 fishing seasons. Reliably mapping out all the fish takes most of the day at any one location, which you have to visit rain and shine.
So five places, two days each, every season...

To be absolutely sure of catching all the fish requires 10 days of dedicated fishing a season, or 40 days a year. I can see why the fishing bundle is a headache and a half!

The bundles do offer up one hint for every fish. Lake fish are in the lake, so that one rain and one sunny day for 4 seasons. 8 days at the worst. Rain fish are 5 locations every season, so 20 days at the worst.

Perhaps there should be another hint for bundle fish? Or an in game fish guide to help out? I might have missed something though.

 

The hardest for me atm is the Pantry @--@
I've never really enjoyed the ranching part of farming games so the Farm Animal Bundle is giving me the most trouble.

 

i personally really like fishing. one thing i found is that you can get the star tokens for the fair pretty easily through fishing. i was getting as high as 180 stars per attempt.

 

I totally agreee with you. I just avoid fishing. I always hope the travelling merchant will have the fish I need.
