A guide made to help newcomers and those looking for some guidance on how to make more, and do it faster Preface To start off, I'll say that not everything I do is 100% optimal, but I certainly try my best. This is a strategy that I've basically pulled out of my anus, and as such I do not claim that this is the best way make money in stardew, nor the fastest. What this is, is a compilation of what I've done in game, condensed down into checklist goals to simplify the process and make things go a lot faster than the time it took for me. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, and be on the lookout for places I screw something up, because I very well might have. So what's the plan? To make lots of money, we're going to mass farm singe crops that will give us back the maximum profit per seed, and eventually create setups to double (or even triple) the value via making artisan goods. To achieve our goal, we need to gain access to the most expensive crops, which will be half the battle. The best crop to farm all around is the ancient fruit, however we won't be able to get them for quite some time. Besides ancient fruits, the best crop per season will vary, but the top across all seasons is starfruit, which grows in the summer, and is sold in the calico desert. Issue is, we can't reach the desert until be finish the vault bundle, which will cost us money. The other issue is, we don't have the resources, infastructure, or tools to farm en masse. The three major goals Our first major goal will be to set up mass farming operations and gain access to starfruits The second major goal will be to set up breweries for starfruit (and later ancient fruits), which will help maximize profit per seed The third will be to reach the final house upgrade to gain access to casks, which will further increase profits In this guide we'll address how to achieve all three of these goals, as well as tips, tricks, and strategies to speed up progress along the way. Year 1 Starting off, you aren't going to make much. In fact, for the first year you will make very little, but that's okay. Year one is all about the setup; clearing off your farm, gathering important resources, upgrading equipment, unlocking the bus, and so on. So what do I need to do in year one?The key tasks we need to complete are as follows Clear off around a quarter or more of your farm by Summer 1 Make visits to the mine as much as possible to gather copper, iron, coal, and quartz Seek to upgrade your hoe, watering can, and pickaxe (Prioritize watering can, but keep in mind you won't be able to water your crops for 3 days) Complete the vault bundle at the community center (In total costing 42,500g) Secondary tasks would include Clearing off roughly half your farm by the end of year one Finishing the miner bundle at the community center to unlock minecarts ( gets you around WAAAY faster ) CropsDuring spring 1, your best bet is to farm potatoes. The game starts you off with 500g, and I suggest you invest 100% into potato seeds, which will run you 50$ per seed. With the 15 parsnip seeds, and 10 potato seeds to look after, and 4-6 days to wait, you will have plenty of time to allot to clearing space on your farm, and finding your way to the mines. To try and maximize profits, use the sap you find on your farm to make fertilizer, which will give you a bigger chance at high quality crops. Getting more money without cropsAlong the way, you will start accumulating types of items that (for now at least) can be safely sold to get some more money, and buy more seeds. Starting off, there is a vast amount of trees on your farm, and growing these back won't be a priority for a while. This means you can feel safe in selling off tree seeds, or any wild growing plants you find while wandering in the city. Once every 3-6 days, find your way down to the beach and collect the shells you find on the beach to make a quick buck. Doing this should net you enough within the first 6 days to buy more seeds, which you can plant right away. Don't be afraid about staggering the days you plant seeds. As long as you plant them with enough time to grow before the next season kills them, then it just means more profit. MiningMining is important to infastructure, as copper, iron, gold, and quartz are vital to growing crops en masse. If you are ever walking around your farm, especially before noon and thinking, "Man, there's not really much to do is there?", then you are wasting time that could be spent mining, and you're going to fall behind this guide QUICK. As for being in the mine, make sure to bring along some form of food with you to heal yourself with. You probably won't make it past level 40, but do your best, as iron is most common around levels 40-50, and can be farmed from dust sprites[stardewvalleywiki.com] for ez gains. Copper appears the most around levels 31-39. A final note on mining, you are able to return down to the nearest checkpoint level, which occurs every 5 levels you reach. This means you can pull out if you have to, so don't blow it. InfastructureThe key to growing crops is doing nothing. The less you have to do in order to grow a crop, the more you can grow, and the more money you make. Eventually that feeling you get from hand-watering your crops is going to fade, turning you sour and wondering if there's an easier way. There is, and it's sprinklers. There are 3 tiers of sprinkers

A checkered-ish pattern will allow you to grow more in a smaller area while not having to water your crops. If you are having trouble re-creating it, I've made a terrible outline that should clarify it Here[imgur.com]. Intro to Summer 1As I stated before, summer is THE most important season to make money. Since we can't get starfruits in year 1, we'll go with out next best bet, blueberries. Blueberries are a one time plant, taking 13 days to first harvest and 4 days for every subsequent harvest, and yields 3 blueberries every time for a maximum of 5 harvests if planted on day one of summer. Basically, this means we can grow a crapload of blueberries and make big bux, but to do this we need space, and sprinklers. If you farmed enough potatoes, you should be able to reach level 6 in farming fast enough to make quality sprinklers, meaning your life will become a whole lot easier in this next part. Preparing for SummerDepending on how you did in spring, you should have made a decent profit from your potatoes, cleared out some space on your farm, and have some copper, iron, and quartz from the mines. Be prepared to BLOW ALL OF YOUR MONEY AND GIVE UP YOUR LIFE. Roughly 3 days before summer, you want to start preparing by clearing out and making space for your sprinklers. If you have quality sprinklers, you want to place them so their surrounding crops will be touching, but not overlapping. This means no crops should be touching more than one sprinkler at a time, or you done screwed up. If you still don't have quality sprinklers, start expanding your basic sprinkler pattern as much as possible, and cry a little bit inside. If for some reason you didn't save up any copper or iron like I told you to, take a hike over to the blacksmith with your head hung in shame. Dawn of the First Day: 72 hours remain.Day 1, summer 1. It's time to bust ass and chew bubblegum, and I really hope you're out of bubblegum. Pierre's shop opens at 9, giving you ~3 hours to get your ♥♥♥♥ straight. If you did your setup the day prior, you should have all of your sprinklers in place, and the ground tilled, meaning all you have to do is fill in and water a few missing tiles. Haul ass to Pierre's, and buy as many blueberries as you can afford or if you can afford it, 400-500. But that's a lot of blueberries! Let's do some math real quick: [C] Cost of blueberries = 80 [S] Selling price(base) = 50 x 3 (because the min yield is 3 per plant) [A] Amount of blueberries total (per harvest) = (400 to 500) x 3 Profit = x Profit = (S - C) * A Profit = (150-80) * 400 Profit = 70 * 400 Profit = 28,000 Total profit after summer = 28,000 * 5 = 140,000 [/code] And this is PER HARVEST. If you can plant 400 blueberries on the first day of summer, you are going to make some decent dosh. My recommendation is to aim for 500. It takes a lot of work, but the payoff will carry you into winter 2 easily. If you really need to take 2 days for 100% planting, you will make quite a bit less, so keep that in mind. Fall & WinterWhen all is said and done, You should have some decent savings. From here, I would say to farm cranberries, as they are a similar crop to blueberries in the fall, and in winter start working towards building kegs. Year 1 (Continued) Vault BundleThe vault bundle is pretty straight forward: Give a total of 42,500g to the junimos and they'll fix the bus for you, and if you don't royally mess up summer 1, then you should easily have enough to invest. Boiler BundleThe boiler bundle is rather straight forward if you are going mining. The only part that might cause some issues is the fire quartz[stardewvalleywiki.com]. Fire quartz starts appearing around level 80 and onwards, which is QUITE the way down. If you go mining a lot, you can probably do it, but don't sweat it and waste too much time down there. This is why unlocking minecarts isn't a major priority, but more of a luxury. Ancient FruitDuring the course of year 1, make sure to visit the travelling cart[stardewvalleywiki.com] every Friday & Sunday with an eye open for an ancient fruit seeds[stardewvalleywiki.com]. They have a 1.26% chance of appearing at the cart, or can also be aquired by donating the Ancient Seed artifact[stardewvalleywiki.com] to the museum. Ancient fruit are considered to be an end game crop for two reasons: They grow in Spring, Summer, and Fall If planted in Spring and left to span the 3 seasons, make ~57.4g/d, more than any cropIf given the year to grow, Ancient Fruit will make you more shipped raw than starfruit wine. Year 2 You made it. Look at you! Hopefully you spent your winter season in the mines, and building kegs, because thats a really important step. SpringIt's that time of year again! I didn't mention in in Year 1, but buying strawberries is a good idea, as they are the best spring crop to grow. (Stupid valve, give me more space) Either than making sure you're ready for the starfruit invasion, spring 2 is practically rince and repeat of spring 1. Consider upgrading your hoe as much as possible during this time. Summer It's time. I hyped up summer 2 for a good reason, and that's because you're planting money seeds. Day one of summer 2, you have roughly 3 hours to clean up your sprinkler setup, filling in some holes here and there and whatnot. If you prepared and bought your seeds ahead of time, you can start the plant right away and save yourself the headache of waiting till 10:10 for pam to open the bus stop. Once you get your seeds planted, it's time to do a checkpoint: How many kegs do you have? hopefully a lot. I am the liquor, RandyIn stardew valley, alcohol is in my opinion the best way to make money, not because you'll make a lot of money (and you will), but because you get to say, "I make wine for a living". Of course you don't tell them you're playing farming games, but it still makes you feel good, both the wine and the lying about having a cool career. Kegs + fruit makes wine, and wine makes money. But how much? 3 × base Fruit value Artisan profession: 1.4 × base Wine value [Example: Starfruit] 3 x 750g = 2250g Artisan profession: 1.4 x 2250g = 3150g Remember when I suggested you grow 500 starfruit? [Starfruit] 500 x 2250g = 1,125,000g Artisan profession: 500 x 3150g = 1,575,000g Basically, anywhere between 400-500 Starfruits will guarantee you millionare status, but by when is a different question. How fast you get your million depends on how many kegs you have. Think about it like the lottery; Take your money upfront with a high percentage cut taken from it (this would be selling raw starfruit), or wait and take your large lump sum of cash in smaller, less lumpy sums. Luckly for you, the more kegs you have the more lumpy the sums. Keg placement is another concern for newcomers. While most people(including me) use sheds to store their kegs, the most optimal setup is to put your kegs in deluxe barns.

左侧：最优小屋布局，67个酒桶 上方：最优谷仓布局，90个酒桶

一个可能的最优豪华谷仓布局，可容纳136个酒桶。无论你最终选择哪种布局，请记住，你总是可以用正在工作的酒桶填满行走空间，只要确保如果你计划完全填满一个建筑，要在同一天开始所有的酿造工作。 秋季 你成功了，你种了星果，建了酒桶，并开始将你的金星作物转化为金砖。从现在开始，在酿造星果酒的同时，你可以种任何你喜欢的东西，并相应地出售。也许可以花些时间重新种植一些树木，或者建造更多的工匠设备。对我来说，我倾向于在秋季种植小麦，这样当星果酿造结束时，我可以用一些啤酒来填补。如果你还没获得古代果实，记得每周五和周日去旅行货车寻找。找到后一切就会变得顺利。 冬天你可以随意安排时间。 开玩笑的。如果你还没开始制作铱洒水器，那这应该成为你的首要任务。铱是一种很难找到的物质。 获取铱的途径大致限于绿洲矿井的30层及以下，或者通过万象晶球。 万象晶球可以从矿井115-119层的石头中获得，或者在绿洲从桑迪那里以1000g的价格购买，每打开100个晶球平均能获得10-15个铱。 计算如下： 晶球成本（1000g每个）：100×1000=100,000g 打开成本（25g每个）：100×25=2500g 每100个晶球平均获得铱：12.55/102500 = 1/8541.6666 = 0.00012铱矿/单位或1铱矿/8642g 从数学角度来看，铱矿确实很昂贵。 至此，第二年结束！ 第三年及以后 第三年主要是关于升级，或许还有享受游戏的乐趣，对吧？ 酒桶 酒桶是一种工匠设备，能够提高工匠物品的星级，并且只能放置在房屋最终升级后的地下室里。酒桶的使用理念与小桶类似。

最佳地下室布局，125个可使用的酒桶 当你获得地下室和酒桶后，应开始将最昂贵的酒从酒桶中循环放入木桶陈酿，以实现利润最大化。可以回想一下彩票的类比，但这里增加了一个层次。 水中有铱 你第三年的另一个目标是将洒水器设施升级为铱制洒水器。为了缓解获取铱的缓慢且艰难的过程，你可以每周五去下水道找科罗布斯，以10000g的价格购买一个铱制洒水器。 很快你的农场就会从这样：
