MY PEOPLE. This video is aimed at players who are in
the mid late game on their farm. I would classify them as anyone who has made
it to Ginger Island, all the way up to anyone who has not quite reached perfection, and
everyone in-between. If that's you, I hope that the next 20 tips
will help you change the way you play Stardew Valley for the better. Tip #1 Between sprinklers, scarecrows, and Junimo
Huts, it can be hard to know exactly how to organize your crops. I'll cut right to the chase; this is my favourite
layout for organizing my farming. There's probably a slightly better way to
do this my utilizing pressure nozzles, but this setup allows you to grow 192 crops that
will be harvested by junimos and are protected from crows. Plus, I end up designing most of my farms
as sort of a grid-style layout anyway, so this fits perfectly. So once you've laid out the sprinklers on
your farm, you'll wanna start processing your crops. I overlooked kegs and preserves jars for a
long time, but utilizing them will multiply the money you make by a ridiculous amount. I used to worry about finding space on my
farm to dedicate to processing crops, but then I realize that kegs could be put anywhere,
meaning that you literally can't have too many of them. Put them in barns, put them in the forest,
put them in the desert, put them EVERYWHERE. Endgame farms grow thousands of crops every
season, and every keg that you have waiting is just more money in the bank. If you don't feel like littering the map with
kegs, sheds are probably your next best bet, but it can be tough to know when you should
pop in to collect your goods. May I introduce, the indicator. Basically, if you've got a shed of preserves
jars for example, just put one of them outside to let you know when all of the ones inside
are ready as well. This will save you time and prevent you from
looking like a fool. There is a limit, however, to the number of
casks that you can have, since they can only be placed in basements. You could put 125 casks in a basement while
still leaving room to walk, but what if I told you we could fit more? If you fill in all of the walkways, you can
fit a total of 189 casks in the basement, a 51% increase. Here's the reason why I don't think this is
overkill. When you put wine in a cask, it takes 14 days
to go from basic to silver quality, then another 14 days to go from silver to gold, then another
28 days to go from gold to iridium. But, you don't have to take the wine out of
the cask for each step, so in reality you juts put the wine in, then wait 2 seasons,
then take it out. So you only need to break your way through
casks to harvest wine twice a year, which I think is worth the extra 64 casks that you
can place. While we're on the subject of making a ton
of money through farming, we need to talk about the island farm. The optimal layout involves ancient fruit
and makes over $300,000 gold every day, but it can take quite a long time to set up. To learn how to best optimize the space, you'll
have to watch my full video on it, but remember that the sooner you get it started, the better. After you watch that video, you should have
an even better understanding of why you can't have too many casks. I wish I would've recognized the potential
of the island farm earlier, and the same goes for the slime hutch. Because of the 1.5 update, the slime hutch
has become one of the best passive money makers in the game Again, I did a whole breakdown on this video
about how to set up your slime hutch, so watch that for all the details. If you've watched a lot of my other videos,
you may have noticed that professions factor into a lot of methods. You probably know that the statue of uncertainty
allows you to swap professions, but how many of you have been playing on the same farm
for years with the same profession that you chose in the early game? I encourage you to just take some time to
think through your current professions and ask yourself if you should switch any around. If you don't know what professions are best,
don't worry, I've got a guide on that too. Three self-promotions in less than sixty seconds? I'm getting kinda good at this YouTube thing. There were a lot of money-making and efficiency
tips there in a row, so let's talk about some quality of life improvements you can make. Junimo chests are one of my favourite rewards
from Qi's walnut room. I think they're perfect for storing tools
and other very commonly-used items, but placement is key. Before you have the return scepter and the
island obelisk, keeping one junimo chest on your main farm and the other one on your island
farm is a great option. Later on, you can keep one on your main farm
and one just outside of the mines. Whatever you decide, it's nice to have better
access to your most commonly-used items. Sticking with the theme of storage, someone
from my twitch chat told me about this next tip, and I have never been the same since
I heard it. To help with your journey getting max hearts
with all of the villagers, you should keep a chest just outside of their bedrooms with
a bunch of their loved gifts. You'll have immediate access to the best
item to give each person, but more importantly you won't have to remember what each villagers
favourite things are. This combined with keeping an object most
people like on me at all times has helped me get my hearts up tremendously. Getting to max hearts with the villagers is
one of the harder requirements for perfection, but you should also start the process of shipping
every item, cooking every dish, crafting everything and catching every fish as early as you can. These requirements all have aspects that can
only be completed during certain times of the year, so start these early if you don't
want to find yourself one requirement shy of perfection, and having to wait three seasons
to finish it. On a similar note, you should always keep
a few of everything in a chest somewhere. Even after years of playing this game, I still
find myself unexpectedly needing different items that I don't have access to because
of the season. Although it may normally be easy to be easy
to get objects like fairy rose in the fall, you don't want to have to wait for months
until Pierre sells it. Pierre and the other townspeople may let you
down, but the Wizard's tower is open from 6am to 11pm every day, or all the way until
2am if you have the key to the town. I'm telling you this because whenever I needed
to move a farm building, I used to have to head to Robin's during a particular window
when she was working, and many times I would miss her and have to wait until the next day. But I realized that you can use the Wizard's
podium at any time to move farm buildings, which is just way more convenient. I've got two quick tips that are helpful for
improving the way your farm looks, but take them with a grain of salt because my eye for
design is a bit...off. One thing that I do know, however, is that
hiding lighting behind existing structures is a fantastic way to add life to your home
or farm. My favourite option is torches, because they're
small and fit behind almost everything, but you can also walk right over top of them so
they don't get in your way. For some of the cosmetic items, you have a
limited time when you have the chance to pick them up. The ones you really need to watch out for
are the paintings from the famous Lupini, since each painting can only be bought on
one night every three years. The other set of collectables that's like
this is in the movie theatre, because some of the rewards from the claw machine are only
available when a certain movie is playing, which is on a two-year cycle. Okay, back to efficiency. This was hard for my to accept, but I have
finally come to terms with the fact that hammers are the best weapon type. Everyone had their preference, but the AOE
of the hammer's special attack just can't be beat. It deal so much damage and makes it so easy
to protect yourself that you should never have an issue fighting again. But if you disagree, let me know in the comments
why I'm wrong. But personally, I believe that once you've
got enough galaxy souls, you should use them to make the infinity gavel. The burglar's ring is a must-have for item
collection. On average, it doubles the loot that you get
from monster drops, so you'll get twice as much out of every kill. This is huge for farming items like coal like
coal from dust sprites, so get yourself a burglar's ring as soon as possible. For a more complete guide on item collection,
Mr Penguinpanda's video is really good. Monster drops aren't the only thing to pick
up large quantities of materials. I always found myself needing more wood when
I was in the mid-game, until I found my solution. You can turn the desert into a massive tree
farm. Even if you just fill in all the space above
the road with trees, you'll get around 2000 wood every time you cut them all down. This area can't be used or much else, so it's
the perfect spot to farm. If you're looking for fiber, the mutant bug
cave is where you want to be. There's so many weeds in here that one trip
through should get you set up for a long time. You many not think of fiber as something you
need a lot of, but once you get the golden clock, and weeds stop spawning on your farm,
you're gonna need some way of saving it up for crafting. The best way to get stone is a little less
obvious. I used to put diamonds in the crystalariums
since they were the most gold per day, but I realized a far more valuable gem is the
jade. Jades can be traded in to the desert trader
on Sundays to get staircases, which are massively helpful for the skull cavern. Even with just ten or so crystalariums, you
can find yourself with hundreds of staircases very quickly. Like I said, you can use these staircases
for the skull cavern, or you could put them into a deconstructor and get 99 stone back
each. Jades are produced fast enough that you should
never run out of stone using this technique. And for my final tip for endgame farms, you
should always have the speed boost from a triple shot espresso. The extra speed helps you in everything that
you do, and wearing a hot java ring for day-to-day stuff will get you enough coffee to last forever. Thank you guys so much for watching, I hope
this was helpful. If you guys have any more tips, let everyone
know. I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
