My SO plays Stardew in a quite strange way, and has an insanely heavy focus on mining and combat. His main goal is getting as deep into the skull cavern as possible, and for a few days now he's been making crystalariums and duplicating jade, collecting a total of over 1000 fairly easily.
On his first attempt he got to level 869 (lol) by just spamming staircases next to him, often wasting several, at 1:50am. Obviously not useful for looting since you get literally nothing and waste thousands of staircases, but it got me wondering - how far down is it possible to go? I've seen some posts of other people getting to around 700 at least, but I'm not sure if there's an official record? Or a kind of tactic as to not waste too many staircases in your attempt to place them when going down?
And does luck affect the amount of rocks that spawn in the cavern? Would it be more efficient to try this on a low luck day, since less rocks spawning would mean a bigger chance that there's going to be a free spot where you want to place your staircase?
Thanks to anyone who can decipher my rambling lol.
