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.
Plus better more effective swings at those darn serpents without them in the way blocking your swings.

Haha penny is always my go-to when choosing a partner but damn that girls got expensive taste! One fun thing I like to do is go on the sv wiki and look at the history of the characters look. The wiki is bonkers useful if you haven’t checked it out yet
Penny likes a lot of things though and is relatively easy to find. So 2 liked gifts and talk to her most days then friendship points go quickly. Throw in a loved gift on her bday and take her to a movie if that’s open.

Oh, yeah. A year and a half into playing SDV I still use it to stalk people so I can give them gifts.


In my "Brother Benedict of Abbey Farm" save, I'm about to end fall in year 2. I am patiently waiting for my duck to drop a feather so I can finish the community center. Two of my cows had a baby, which is a first because I usually fill the barn up ASAP.
 
Honey finally decided to use the dog area in the library. Cuddlebug exclusively sleeps near (our in bed with) Sebastian, so I've given up on him using it. 😀

Still working on the Pepper Rex monster slayer goal. The desert obelisk has been helpful. I've never built any of the outside location obelisks before, but I like that I can easily drop in for a couple hours at the end of the day.
I finished the Mummies and am almost done with the flame guys from the volcano. I just remembered Professor Snail exists, so Farmer Helena will be freeing him the next time she's on the island.
 
In my Brother Benedict save, I completed the community center after Daffy Duck FINALLY dropped a feather. In the Pierre v Morris cutscene, I chose "Let's be reasonable" instead of fighting, since I'm supposed to be playing a peaceful monk-type. I've kept Robin at my farm so much this winter I think Demetrius would sue for alienation of affection if he didn't like me so much.
 
Finished year two as Brother Benedict, and grandpa gave me full marks! Will post a photo of it once I've got the new year started. I gave Maru a battery pack, and Pam gave me a tea set, which I put in a chest because that's supposed to be rare or something? Here's something that happened RIGHT before the year ended. Fortunately all I lost was a stone path.

So Lil Quackers finally can afford the luxury of the Statue of the Dwarf King, and since I was so late game in my previous saves, I didn't really feel the effects before, but I gotta say the Statue of Blessings and Dwarf King are really really good! I can't believe there's even one for easier staircases - preach Dwarf, preach.

Coincidentally, I also got the quest for Dangerous Mines, and I thought I was gonna be screwed when one of those ghosts spew noxious fumes at me, but I guess I didn't know Basilisk's Paw also prevents the No Food Debuff (it should make sense but I didn't make that connection lol)! That is one of my least favorite debuffs, so I'm feeling mighty powerful at the moment with a Dwarf King buff, a Blessings buff and a Basilisk's Paw 💪
 
It has been a while since I've visited my perfection farm, so the first thing I did was to walk to the wrong "door" lol, instead of leaving my biggggg house through the main entrance, I've gone ahead and entered the entrance to the basement and went there 🤦‍♂️... why IS the basement door so much bigger than the main entrance :laugh:, but anyhow after that mishap, I picked up two Jungle Tanks, so I can finally house mes petits grenouilles (unfortunately all their colors are messed up as soon as I take them out of their chests, so they are just empty tanks for now for the most part...]: but I'll figure that out later...), and one so I can complete one of the missing item missing from my chests (all for the price of 10 broken glasses! Thank you kind tanuki sir). I then skipped the days to finally get the Queen of Sauce Cookbook, leaving me just one final missing item before I 100% my perfection farm (I think...).

And after embracing the chaos that is Lil Quackers Meadowlands farm, where my farm is more like plop this down here cos I felt like it, and plop that down there because it's convenient - I do miss the organization I have in my perfection farm - color-coded chests are just wayyy superior lol.

On the flip side, Lil Quackers has been a season of giving - I am running out of easy favorited items to give the town folks after 4 consecutive Qi's Kindness quests (I even amped up my rabbits for those rabbit feet, but alas the villagers demand loved gifts), and I have to resort to parting some of my rarer items. To my surprise, the villagers have customized reactions to different items, which were just absolutely delightful to me - Jas was appreciating the Ancient Doll I got her, and commented that it's a little dirty but she loved it. (You better! I gave you my last one) :laugh:, but of course in jest, just absolutely delighted that she was able to show additional appreciation for some of the other favorite items. But this cannot go on any longer, Qi, my kindness has reached its limit... Lil Quackers' GDP just ain't working out. Luckily Qi embraced me with his own kindness that is known as 1.6.40, where rocks are now favorited items too... yes! Allow me to shower the villagers with gifts for more weeks to come!!
