Silly Mistakes You've Made?

[Terdin]

I mistook the shipping bin for a chest. I think everyone made that mistake when they first played Stardew Valley.

Not me. I have made similar mistakes in Harvest Moon games though over the 25+ years I've been playing those games.

I didn't know the upgraded Hoe tilled multiple spots.
I didn't know Weapons had a second attack or a block.
I didn't know you could stand on one crop spot and Till/Water/Fertilize/Harvest the block of 9 adjacent ones without moving.
I didn't know the Sword and Scythe don't use Energy. Ended up accidentally using my Axe or Rod and getting Exhausted all the time.
I didn't know you couldn't marry Caroline.

And loads of others long since forgotten. I mega-noobed my way through my first save and it was so great!

what is second attack

what is second attack

I play on mobile, so some of this might not be accurate for other platforms, and activate it when I touch the screen where a monster is (and sometimes other times) With a sword, it's a block, stopping an attack at that moment from harming you. Dagger has a rapid stab thing, and the hammer has a slam with strong knockback. In the item bar the weapon gets a diminishing vertical bar marking the cool-down time until you can use it again.

Just to clear it up for anyone playing on other platforms, it's a 'secondary attack'. It triggers (with a cooldown) when you press the other main interaction button (the one you use to open doors for example) when holding the weapon.

• On my first playthrough, I read the letter from Evelyn about crops dying at season change and I laughed loudly because it seemed so obvious. Guess what I did nonetheless a few days before the end of my first Spring? You guess right: I felt so stupid on first day of Summer with all my withered crops...
• I learned the hard way to change IMMEDIATELY my inventory slot when Maniac Kent mails me one of the bombs that he keeps on his shelves... What a lovely man. Tell me Kent, how many children do you have at home?
• I went numerous times to the Mines/Volcano/Skull Caverns... only to realise there that I've stashed my weapon/pickaxe in a chest at the farm.

The amount of times I've rushed to the Volcano Dungeon early morning in order to spend all day there ... only to immediately return home because I didn't bring my watering can ... embarrassing honestly.
