15 Super HANDY Things To Always Do FIRST in Stardew Valley 1.5! (GUIDE)

Stardew Valley is the best Indie-Game ever. ♥

Best tip video!

These are terrible tips

no way you pronounce "luck" like that

Please don’t buy the backpack upgrade until after the egg hunt. That 2000g is far better spend on strawberries

Ohhh didn’t know scyth don’t use energy

I just got back to stardew again with a new save. And after a few hours not remember how to play. Safe to say I’m back in the grinding mode played hours and hours again lol. Here I am knackered at 2am thinking. Just one more day lol

Just started playing yesterday and I am not going to lie, the TV tip is really helpful! I don't even own a TV in real life so I never turned it on in the game. Will definitely be checking that out now!

The time passes by too fast...

BOOGSS

I don’t get the rain watering can tip.....I just refill at the pond. Why wait till after rain if it’s easy and convenient?

Is this a feature of the copper can specifically?

Also what’s the negative of passing out due to energy?

Thanks for the video. This game was stressing me out and I just felt overwhelmed.

Just got back to the game after A WHILE.
Exactly the vid I needed
Thx !!!

Hahahaha Made A Mistake About The Coop Na Poor Chicken Hasn't Eaten For More Than 10 Weeks Hahahaha

Awesome! Thank you!!

tysm for these tips. easily the best was one of your last, which was don't stress about the time.

Actually it's better to save for strawberry seeds then the inventory upgrade

just so strange for me how you pronounce "Luck". Never heard people say it like "look"

Why are you mayo

The last tip is the best.😊

1 handy tip: forage at Saturdays' because foragables will reset at sunday or after Sunday and you will have time for mining farming and fishing

I just started playing Stardew Valley a few days ago. I'm finding your tips are excellent for beginners. The tip about bringing a chest to the mine just blew my mind.

Bro you lost me at the point you admited that you jus5 recently figured out you can move the tv and furniture in your house. I just started playing last week and i learned that the very first day

Don't forget to take your hoe to the mines and hoe the dirt spots for easy clay, cave carrots and artifacts

For anyone wondering no it is a bad idea to sell those 15 parsnip seeds with the gold you have, you get more farming exp and more consistent gold just using parsnips plus once you get that crop done you have the time needed to plant a bunch of potatoes and sell them before the egg festival (aka strawberry time bebe)

But it doesn’t really matter much for the most part pick which start you want honestly

I love boog stecks

You dont need reach the bed just reach in the house

I've finally started playing the game after many years, I've watched a handful of guides and this one has been the most helpful so far, thanks~

Honestly, i disagree with the 4th Tip. I think that parsnips are a MUCH better option for your very first crop rotation, the reason being that potatoes are actually profitable once you gain a couple levels in farming to up the chances of getting additional potatoes and you can only do 1 harvest before the egg festival anyway. If you invest most of your starting money on parsnips instead, you can get the same amount of money you would planting the potatoes faster.
To set an extreme example, if you were to spend all your money on parsnips or potatoes and planted them on day one, you would get a total of 40 parsnips vs 13 potatoes. Worst case scenario (2 crows every day for 4 days straight & no higher quality crops) you would still get around 1050g by Spring 5 with parsnips, meanwhile with your 13 potatoes in the best case scenario (around 4 additional potatoes and at least 1 silver quality) you could get around 1300g by spring 7. That means that you are actually earning less per day and wasting time. Not only that but by planting parsnips first you can take your harvest, sell it to Pierre and reinvest the profit into even MORE potatoes/kale that will be ready to harvest just before the egg festival which is perfect timing in my book.

EDIT: For the fishing, I always buy a training rod on day 2. The reason being that it's the best way to power level fishing as you don't have to care about casting distance and the low difficulty fish will provide you with an easy streak of perfect catches for massive XP relatively quickly. The low quality fish can be used for energy as you said in the video and if i sell my entire haul i can usually get about 800-1000g. Combine that with clay farming on day 1 and I can go straight for a fiber glass rod on day 2, bait and trout soup for the fishing buff and energy so I can keep fishing until 2 AM. I can easily make it to level 3-4 fishing, which makes catching catfish on Spring 3 much easier, propelling me to level 5 fishing and selling the haul from both days for quite a pretty penny with the angler profession.
In fact, if you keep at it, you can potentially go all the way to getting an iridium rod and catching the legend by day 8-9 (provided Gus decides to sell a fish taco during the week for the +2 fishing). I normally don't go that far and would usually wait until fishing level 10 for that, which can easily be done before the end of spring.

"music volume 0" i see you cannot appreciate art

Came here for game tips but surprisingly come out with life lesson.
Don't stress with time. There's always be new day :)

One thing I do when I have to upgrade my watering can is do it in Winter. It ain't raining in Winter. Of course, it is preferred to do it before but it is easy to make sprinklers....

who the f is luke?

Cool:)

The silo is one of my favourite tips. So few guides show it.

If you're running the river farm like in your video, crab pots are amazing, especially when you get the profession that makes them significantly cheaper to craft, and eventually require no bait. I have infinite food all year round, as you can make several recipes with fish, sashimi being the obvious easy pick, which you unlock by befriending Linus.

Setup some recycling bins, and you'll have more refined quartz than you know what to do with (I consider refined quartz a trash item, I have so many). Refined quartz is a great stone/wood substitute for making pathways on the farm, once you have the crystal pathway recipe unlocked. Recycling trash you get from crab pots is also a great way to get supplemental coal, iron, and cloth. You'll also have more torches than you know what to do with. I used them to light paths around town early game, and now, I just sell them. They're basically worth nothing, but it beats throwing them away. Early game, that little extra income can be useful.

People trash-talk the river farm, but I like it. Besides, if I want to plant a lot of crops, I just do that on Ginger Island, which is basically a massive outdoor greenhouse. I use the river farm as a fishery/ranch, and the island farm as my crop farm. Well, I also use the river farm for tree farming in the SW corner.

Save 2000 gold or more for strawberry... Best investment..

Only plant 15 seed or crow will come

These tips really helped. I messed up big time with my first play through. Now I can restart and do it better.

I've done some math for the 'sell your seeds' tip. Tl;dr: If you do it for the early money, then it's not worth it. If you do it for early variety, be my guest.

warning: maths

Scenario 1: buy 25 extra parsnip seeds the first day, plant all 40 seeds on day 1. You wil have 40x35 = 1400g on day 5.

Scenario 2: sell the 15 free seeds. You now have 650g. If you want the most profit per seed, buy cauliflower, they cost 80 and sell for 175. So you can buy 8 seeds with the 650g. You will have 8x175 = 1400 on day 13.

Of course profit per seed is not the best way to rank the plants, so maybe you shouldnt invest all your money in cauliflowers, but I just wanted to show that this tip is not that good in terms of early money (in my opinion).

Save one parsnip seed. Sell the rest but not needed. Just buy 1 seed of each on spring day 1. At least the ones needed for cc bundle. Harvest the last one needed on Easter. Buy at least 20 strawberry seeds at the Easter egg hunt. Go back into town after the Easter hunt with your collection for the bundle and get the speed grow for the 20 strawberry plants. This gets you one more harvest from 20 strawberry plants. Don't plant more than 15 seeds until you get scarecrows. The crows won't come and feast.

I like to put any tools that I dont use for mining in a chest in the mine so I have more space (watering can, hoe, axe).

Okay so I also like to have my tv by the bed, but for the record as long as you make it inside your house- you will not lose money the next day- you do not actually need to make it to bed💁🏽‍♀️ i do however love my bed next to the door still just because it does still save me those extra few seconds in the mornings! Layout is important 👏

The tip at the end where you said not to stress about the time. SSOOO HELPFUL. That was my biggest complaint. or that I have to make everything perfect. Thanks for the tips!
