1.6 Update What happened in your game today?

[FilthyGorilla]

I see! I just got my first "24"!

I wonder how rare that is?

Depends on what the initial amount was really, that chance massively increases or decreases how luck a high roll like what you got was

Yes, today I acquired the iridium scythe! Fall year 3. A lot of slimes and mutant bugs died for this, as I haven't been into the mines, the skull cave, the quarry mine or the volcano.

is it good to do the volcano or the skull cavern first?

I think most people do skull cavern first because it's unlocked first, but I usually spend more time in the volcano first. There are not a lot of good rewards from the skull cavern until you get very deep, which requires you to be very good at it, which I am not.

On the other hand, with the volcano you can take a day, some speed and maybe defense buffs, and a lot of cheese, and unlock the forge. You don't have to fight anything, just keep eating as you look for the exit to the next level. (If I run into a level with too many buttons, I give up and try another day.) With the forge unlocked, I can venture into just the lower levels until I have enough cinder shards to start forging rings. Forged rings and maybe cinderclown shoes get me to a point where I can comfortably go to the volcano for treasure chests, golden walnuts, dragon teeth, and more cinder shards to start enchanting weapons. Then, if I can get crusader on a good weapon, this becomes a good time for me to go back and tackle the skull cavern. I now have much higher defense so I'm taking less damage, and I have a weapon that kills mummies without a bomb. That all makes skull cavern easier for me.

Yep. Crusader makes Skull Caverns way less of a grind, and if you throw Bug Killer on an almost-as-good weapon, you can get Bug Meat and finished Bug Steaks out of skull cavern.

I'm continuing a save where I'm engaging in a little bit of roleplay. My farmer is "Br Benedict" of Abbey Farm, and my idea is to play him as a monk-figure, whose farm exists not to maximize profits but to serve the community. Accordingly, I plant a variety of things, including crops I don't normally bother with. Item requests from town are prioritized, since Br Benedict is there to serve. Profits go to fruit trees, since I want this to be a lowkey save where I'm not constantly having to work. Speaking of, Br Benedict does not work on Sundays: instead, he goes to the church-thing at Pierre's and then takes walks and fishes. I'm not sure if I want to let him marry or not.....monks don't, but he's not exactly in a monastery, and Emily is also very 'spiritual' so that might be fun. As it stands I'm at the beginning of Year 2, Summer 1: I have max hearts with Evelyn, Shane, Leah, and George, 7 with Emily. Community Center is almost done, save for Walleye, Duck Feather, and Large Goat Milk. Just now building a coop so it will be a bit.
