So you’ve finally gotten around to playing the AMAZING game world of STARDEW VALLEY!!! Good for you!!
...
So, uh, now what?
Don’t worry, I’ve got some Livin’ Off the Land-quality tips to help you settle in! Your first day in your new life is pretty important to set you on the right track-as I, little, naive me, learned the.....hard way (I, *ahem,* like all young women, fell hopelessly in love with Alex on my first day as soon as I saw him, and, er, may have spent my whole three years focusing only on trying to marry him and decorating my house...)
Anyways, here you have it:
. Buy seeds. There’s this saying; “you have to spend money in order to earn it,” and, yes, it’s true. While you can find mixed seeds for free if you hoe long enough, it wastes your time and energy. Instead, simply head to Pierre’s and stock up some of his seeds, and plant them right when you get home! 500G is a pretty paltry sum (only that much from working all of those years at Joja? Oof...) but the more crops you buy=the more crops you harvest=the more money you get.
Get materials, materials, materials. Did I mention materials? You can get stone from rocks with your picaxe and wood from trees with your axe. Why are materials so important, you may ask? Well, the more materials you start saving up, the sooner you can purchase a coop, and with it, animals. They are also useful for countless other things, such as crafting-so start getting materials! Just make sure to watch your energy.
. Clear your farm. Oh, man.....I rememeber on my own first day, I cleared a tiny little space, right in front of my house, for crops, than went into town and got caught up in all of that Alex nonsense and was so distracted by it, by the time Fall came around my farm was nothing but untamed debris. Ugh.....
Don’t make my mistake; clear as much of your farm area as you can without passing out! This gives you more space for crops and construction in the future without having to spend later days having to clear more stuff to get some good space ready.
. Meet people-but, at the same time, DO NOT get obsessed with people. Once you’ve met everyone, check the calendar on the bulletin in front of Pierre’s shop to remember their birthdays, and scrape up some good gifts to present to them. Beware of gift tastes, though-most villagers will drop hints about what they like and don’t like, so pay close attention! Why is befriending people so important, you ask? Well, it’s not as important as farming, the closer you get to people, the more cooking/crafting recipes, helpful tips, and insights on the valley they give you in return.
Okay, that’s all. Remember, these are only the basics of the basics-there is SO MUCH more out there!!!!!!!! This is just your first day. Just follow these tips and you’ll be on the right track to explore even stuff for yourself!
