I remember going through and working out that even if you juggle professions so that you can sell for the highest possible cost literally everything it produces, including opening the Omni Geodes and selling the contents, it takes something like 10 or 12 in-game years just to get back to breakeven on the seven figure purchase cost. There's no way they are worth it if maximum profit is your goal.If you know what you're doing, it pays for itself, plus makes a nice, hefty profit!
Vilagers? Those annoying people who are always pestering you for things, speaking in micro-aggressions and leaving their doors open so you can walk in on their deepest personal problems?unless you've been ignoring the Villagers until you have 1M g siting there moldering in a corner,
I have never made an effort to give villagers gifts on their birthdays. My days in game are full enough. I save flowers for ladies and grow fruit trees. On days where the spirits are not in my favor, I ride through town giving fruits and flowers. I also head to the tavern in the evenings to distribute largess. i also from time to time include favorite gift giving. My character is the only farmer in a Pelican Town. Surely it is unreasonable of the villagers to expect my character to run through town giving birthday presents? Besides, I have had no problem getting to 10 friendship over time with the residents.Vilagers?

Maybe I should have fessed up to this on the "things you do that other players would find absolutely criminal" thread but, except for the spouse that counts toward a four candle eval (i.e. the iridium kitty), I treat maxing everyone out as a late game endeavor.
With Trixie, I've kind of leaned into it a little more than I have in prior saves. She's the first divorcee, and is quite content living in her house with her son and her 83 (and counting) crystalaria. She might marry again when she has her gold darned clock.
So yup, Lew has nailed my use case for the statue of endless fortune to perfection.
Pretty sure salad is Leah's birthday.It gave me salad. It must have been an incredibly expensive salad. BTW, the statue used not to give food.
Leah would totally go for an expensive salad. Bring on the goat cheese!Pretty sure salad is Leah's birthday.![]()
Ooh I like the statue of friendship idea! Then you wouldn’t need that useless calendar that only lets you look a one season at a time. It’s would just produce a loved gift on everyone’s birthday and then a universally loved or liked gift the rest of the days for bonus in between friendship points.I bought the statue once and then never again. By the time I've saved for it, I can make gold & irridium bars easily enough and already have a crystalarium or three spitting out diamonds. The birthday gifts and reminder are nice, but I have a calander so it's just not worth the price for that feature alone.
I wish there was a reasonably priced Statue of Gifting or Statue of Friendship that did a variety of gifts for villagers birthdays and maybe the Feast of the Winter Star. That I would probably buy.
The only good the clock serves is to keep GI free from weeds that keep crops you might not check in on daily safe and the outdoor items safe on main farm from seasonal change but by the time you can afford the thing you’re swimming in sheds and house space. So it really only protects GI by that point. It’s so ugly too. I’m not a bling type gal I just love natural blending into my pretty farm surroundings items. I usually hide the ugly thing behind something else. I wish I could do something about those ugly obelisks too. lol.By the very end game, it seem like a lot of the most expensive items offer only a little bit of convenience relative to the price tag, like the golden clock. Even some of the obelisks, in my opinion, are sort of just price tags to work towards, and that seems to be the category this statue falls into. The wiki lists it as one of the easiest ways to get iridium, so maybe it would be more useful for a farmer who needs the end game materials, but struggles with skull caverns. I'm still not sure it would outweigh the cost.
When Trixie gets hers, it will be placed by Grandpa's shrine, and maybe she'll plant some mahogany trees up there to hide them both. No need to look at either of them.I usually hide the ugly thing behind something else.
It's because those are loved gifts by the person whose birthday it is that day.I paid a million for this & am getting flowers and veggies. I can grow those. To paraphrase famous smuggler: “Fortune, I can imagine quite a bit. Hold the green stuff.”
Speaking of using them in large numbers...The real way to use this statue, is in large numbers.
Yes, exactly this! I am half-way there!It's because those are loved gifts by the person whose birthday it is that day.
