Don't know if the volcano dungeon layout changed in 1.6 but I'm seeing fewer (none) dragon skeletons where the teeth usually spawn. But anyway, I finally got enough to do the trade, and upon opening a golden coconut the next day, got a second banana sapling!
So while those grow, set up a pineapple plot/winery and a coffee plot/brewery on my Ginger island farm, and also comissioned Robin to build my horse stable for my main farm. See if he can wear my dinosaur hood.
Next up: finish off the monster slayer goals (mummies and pepper rexes) so off to skull cavern...

Edit - forgot I did some iridium panning near my farm crabpots and fished up a bridal veil and the luck ring! Went and combined with my napalm ring.

Yes it got harder. Many things have. To the point I feel sorry for anyone not experienced with the game starting for first time. I can’t imagine the level difficulty and overwhelming frustration that would be for someone not well versed in the game. Even for those well versed starting fresh save is HARD in 1.6. Once you get to and through mastery it eases up a bit but for newbs they don’t know that. Slow and steady wins the race but the race is more of a marathon now than the 5K in 1.4 I think it could turn brand new people off from game. 🫤☹

Played on PC 2.5 years ago. Bought the game on PS5 a few days ago and started a save yesterday on the 4 corners map. Always used standard farm before. Named my farmer after my RL cat, and the cat after me 😂

Very early, only Spring 13 or so, just before the Egg Hunt failure festival 😭 Controls are more difficult, I'm missing the watering tile half the time, so will surely mess up the eggs too. Been too long.

It has been fun to play again, tho, and I still love the fishing minigame 😻 New stuff too, I see, like books, mastery and the ticket lottery Lewis mentioned. I blew 3000g on a book to show value of goods, because I seriously miss the mod that did that, and showed what seed was in the ground and how many days were left. But at least I have the price now.

Not been able to afford the second backpack upgrade yet, nor the fishing pole with bobbers. No buildings or house upgrades either, but have gotten to level 30 in the mines, and am about to pick up the first tool upgrade: pickaxe.

Fishing level 8, rest is 1 to 3.

Not playing blind ofc, but there is a lot I don't recall. Like what rewards are in the mines and the requirements for the CC, so it has been a very fresh experience 😊

Oh my god it has been a WHILE since i have either been on the forums or played stardew. I was just looking though old posts on here and I realized I haven't really played for over half a year...

Fortunately, I have attained some of my goals I had been working on since last year. I finally unlocked ginger island and have made some progress on it, and my farm is looking really good with at least 10 irdium sprinklers, full barns and coops, and lots of preserves jars and juice makers (i forgot their name lmaoo)

I think I have kinda burnt myself out on that save and it's also lonely playing by myself. I might start a new save with my sister or by myself, and try to get back into the game again...

...i've missed talking on the forums and playing the game! I'm going to try to check the site more often because i love interacting with people who are just as into the game as I am :smile:

As expected, completed Monster Slayer (got lucky and hit a Pepper rex floor), what was unexpected was completing the museum on the same day, after digging up the final artefact in Calico desert.

Next on my list is unlocking the Walnut room, but that won't be immediate as I keep getting messages saying my banana tree didn't grow overnight. Little do they know I've also got one growing in my greenhouse! So instead I might gun for the mutant carp as that's the last fish I need to get.

My friend sold a lot of stuff and got a lot of money. Didn't sell the Ginger or the Ginger Island Exclusive Fossils. Also while looking on the Stardew Wiki, he saw that you could place stuff on tables, but they didn't tell you how you can do that. You should check out the thread called "About Tables"

Also, my friend needs another snake vertebrae. How do you get those? Side note: In that picture that someone posted they dug up a snake vertebrae. I guess my friend will have to do a lot of digging. Second side note: There is a recipe for something called a treasure totem but my friend doesn't know how to get one. How do you get the recipe for the Treasure Totem? Secret side note: Please don't be mining mastery because my friend got level 10 in all skills but farming before the 1.6 update and now he doesn't have the other four masteries that he should have. It says he should have them but he doesn't have the recipes. How do you get them? Other secret side note: my friend is playing on a Nintendo Switch. Moderators note: That is funily enough not made by a moderator, please don't delete my post because it was super long.

You get the snake vertebrae from digging artifact spots on the ginger island farm.

you do get the treasure totems from forage mastery.

after you get 10 in every skill, the door unlocks. You need to unlock each skill with xp. So when your friend continues to gain xp, they will be able to unlock the other masteries.

- Put my legend in a pond
- Completed dangerous mines and dangerous skull caverns Qi quests, buying 2 galaxy souls & key to the town.

Well,I blew up my farm for the first time. I was trying to collect mayonnaise and heard a hissing, and wondered "WTF?" and then....well, let's just say I quit without saving. :laugh:

As fall ended, I nearly had 200K gold, partly because I was too busy to Robins and Marnies to spend the money. Ten days into winter, though, my coop and barn are full expanded, and I've now added pigs, rabbits, and sheep to my holdings. The rabbits have already contributed wool, and with a loom I've gotten two weird shirts. I need to watch some videos about the tailoring to see how to get what I want. On the first day of winter the juminis fixed the greenhouse, annnnnnnnnnd since I thoughtfully prepared strawberry, cranberry, and blueberry seeds during their seasons, I'm fixed to continue pumping out wine and preserves all winter.

Bundle are going REALLY well. I need aquamarine (keep going into the mines and smashing boxes for that, a shad (have to wait for spring rain), a maki roll (...:-/), and pig truffles. Then voila! Joja will be no more. Once spring arrives I should be able to knock out the shad and truffle, and I'm hoping to encounter maki rolls at the traveling cart at some point but haven't seen it yet. I've ten-hearted....Abigail, Penny, Leah, Emily, Pam, and Alex. Hayley is the last bachelorette I'll ten heart, I think, but I'm still debating between Abigail and Penny for wifing up. Penny has overtly said "I can't wait to see your farm in the spring", so....we shall see.
