You didn't mention Maru, I suppose no opinion?
Do some spouses help out more than others?

I did not contradict myself.Um, it seems like you are contradicting yourself, saying complete opposite things. In the first version, if a newer version has a shorter timer, does that mean consuming the item reduces the timer?
Fair, what you said about Maru. I just find that people with easier to get (in bulk) items as loved gifts that have a quality helps. It's not super easy to get a lot of strawberries year 1, that's all.Regarding the analysis by imnvs above, Maru is really not difficult to woo; our wedding date is Fall 22 Year 1 of my first game, with a grand total of four strawberries used as gifts (one for her birthday, three in mid-Fall when I decided to make the push to marry in Y1 Fall rather than Y2 Spring). Not particularly arguing with the ordering of that list (though in my game I don't expect to be gathering any wool until mid-Winter, quite possibly until Spring, so Emily would be more difficult than Maru, Penny, or Haley for me - but if I were targeting Emily I'd probably have done things differently), just noting that reaching ten hearts is surprisingly quick and easy.
Just looked up Leah's 14-heart event ... wow. That's hilarious, but I'm not convinced one would actually want to have that painting.
Remember that Maru has a secret weapon as she also loves Cauliflower, which is a quality item available in bulk in that first Spring if you choose to grind Fishing for g to pay for the seeds. I focus this for Maru and usually ignore Strawberries until Year 2 or the Greenhouse.Fair, what you said about Maru.

See, while this is true, cauli is a cooking ingredient, and I start stockpiling cooking ingredients from day 1. If I'm gifting cauli? I must be desperate to woo Maru.Remember that Maru has a secret weapon as she also loves Cauliflower, which is a quality item available in bulk in that first Spring if you choose to grind Fishing for g to pay for the seeds.
Getting a stardrop ASAP.Why do you all want to marry in Year 1?
It wasn't a priority as such. But by mid-Fall I realized that continued Coop/Barn upgrades wouldn't finish CC bundles any faster (need apricot/cherry Spring Y2, red cabbage Summer Y2, and apples Fall Y2, so it doesn't really matter how soon I get a goat, rabbit, and pig). Thus spending 15k on the house upgrade and Mermaid's pendant would get me an extra ~50 days of being married. No need to go visit Maru every day during Winter, and there should be a fair number of spousal gifts during that time.Why do you all want to marry in Year 1?
I was able to get 24 strawberry seeds, and like I said this is my first game. I'm sure a player who actually knows what they're doing could also get the Speed-Gro from the CC bundle and get three harvests.It's not super easy to get a lot of strawberries year 1, that's all.
That is exactly what I'm talking about. Yes, you could get the speed-gro, but you have to really work for it, and the cash to afford that many seeds too. It's not easy, but it is possible. That you have to really work for it is why I rated her as I did.I was able to get 24 strawberry seeds, and like I said this is my first game.

Haley sometimes helps with watering crops and feeding animalsOf the 12 total, which provides you the most game benefit from marriage?
Which has the best story arc from dating in your opinion?
Which character do you personally like the best?
Please point me to any thread that's already covered this kind of thing too, I did a search but there was too many results.
To be fair, every spouse does that.Haley sometimes helps with watering crops and feeding animals
Haha Yes but I see the opposite. Exactly, it's a game! So I don't mind "using" them. And unlike in RL, it matters to me in Stardew what kind of gifts the spouse gives/what gifts I need to give to them...Ok, I know it’s a game…but why bother using people for what they give. See who you get along with best, that’s what the dating is for. Read the wiki to see what they will be like and what they will say after marriage. Then think who is best as a potential spouse, in game life partner, and parent to your future in game children. If you want a best friend and roommate, but no kids then Krobus is a great choice too.
