Had the Community Center restoration on the 3rd, then caught the Legend on day 4 year 2, and placed it in my 4th pond. Glacierfish remains pondless. Have started stacking items rather than selling them, leading to me feeling rather poor, even though I know I could just throw some of the stuff in the bin if I need more money than from cashing in on some of the completed quests, or sell to Pierre if I need money faster, now that his shop is open all days.

Found a holy blade in the mines, a few days before the desert festival, and brought it to the Skull Cavern. Makes mummies a bit easier to handle than with the obsidian blade. The +2 defense also helps. Found a prismatic shard down there on my first day, but unfortunately I'll need to wait until after the festival to use it. Bought 2 wallpapers with the calico eggs from answering the scholar's questions correctly, but I forgot to buy a rare seed from the travelling merchant. Hopefully I'll get enough iridium to restore the boat, either directly or from opening omni geodes. Would also be nice to get Combat 10, but I think it will take some more grinding in the mines afterwards to get it.

2 secret notes remain unfound. Unfortunately one of them is the one that lets me get the secret charm. I've got the rabbit's paw ready to go. A bit more daily luck would be nice. I've had quite a lot of bad luck days so far this spring.

Fetched the wizard's magic ink, but it will take quite a while before I can fully cash in on that and get the obelisks.

Dark Penny, who enables her mother's drinking problem, made an appearance.

Forgive the Spanish, my main goal for this farm was to improve my ability to understand it.

Next question: does Pam also like getting caught in the rain?

Okay! I have finally achieved 120 rabbits (118 elements, Periodic, and Table) and am now working on golden crackers for all of them. It is the middle of winter, so I have to get to spring to get a photo of the mass horde in the field. (I got a micro SD card, so hopefully I will have screenshots in a little bit.)

I got a lot of jelly on my farm.. A LOT. Literally as soon as I stepped into my shed I was immediately hit by the sight of all my preserves jars telling me that the jelly was ready. I also managed to spend 66 deluxe fertilizer on my small area of crops. Also, I might have accidentally Deluxe-Fertilizered my sprinkler, so hopefully it might grow into an iridium sprinkler (I used all of mine in the greenhouse so I don't have any left except the quality sprinklers). I looked in the fridge to see if I had any eggs to turn into mayonnaise and not only did I find 22 eggs, I also found that there was copper ore and coal in there as well as some iron ore. I wish I had put it directly into my crafting materials chest, there were exactly 67 pieces of copper ore :enraged:😡:sweat:

Went to the desert to get the Galaxy Sword. Now I've won't feel as overwhelmed going down the Skull Cavern to get more iridium for tools and sprinklers. I think I'll still bring the holy sword, for the mummy floors.

Danced with Abigail at the Flower Festival. Still unsure whether to go with her, Leah, or Shane but she had the least amount of hearts among the three. I've had Shane's 8-heart event, and Emily's. Also got Jas and Vincent's springtime event.

Got Pam's Special Order and made a dozen kegs for her potato juice. (no special order from Evelyn though... :cry: )Then figured it was time to make a shed for the kegs too. The small sheds are laid out so it will be easy to make them look neat once they're upgraded, but before then they look rather awkward. Should plant a lot more trees if I want to fill the small sheds any time soon. Have been slacking off on that. On the other hand, the trees at the bus stop have been busy producing oak resin. I was lucky enough to get only oaks added from the green rain.

Repaired the boat but haven't gone to Ginger Island yet. I should get my tools upgraded a bit more before I go. A copper watering can will be a pain to wield in the volcano. I want at least steel so I can make walkways of a decent length. And I want to claim the reward for killing enough dust sprites before I enter the volcano. Double rolls on the monster drops will make it easier to gather dragon teeth. I've got plans for the Ginger Island farm, and am low-key preparing for that too.

any tips on how to get a bunch of potatoes in the middle of spring? also about how long does it take for potato juice to be made since I only have about 7-8 days left?

Hm, time is precious, potatos take 6 days to grow, with Deluxe Speed 5 days, with Agriculturist Profession 4 days. Getting the juice will take another 4 days. If you already have enough Fairy Dust to speed up the kegs, you may be successful. Otherwise just grow the potatos and store them until the quest comes up again.

luckily I had a few potatoes I had stored in the fridge for who knows how long (if not for the fact that Stardew Valley is a game they would have molded) and a few of the mixed seeds I planted on the first day of spring turned out to include potatoes, but I would need more hardwood for the kegs which I worked so hard to save up:cry:

Halfway through Summer of year 2, I've filled the small keg shed, upgraded it and added another 20 kegs. Trying to get it up to speed before the greenhouse is filled with ancient fruits. Preserve jar shed still small and not yet full, as I've been using my coal to smelt metal. Built a pond for the Glacierfish, but so far it's been a week with no roe. Wasted 60 hardwood on making two mini-obelisks so I can poof between farmhouse and southern exit, when I could've sold some of the processed stuff and used the just over 100 hardwood I had for upgrading the farmhouse. Oh well, the mahogany grove I've planted (and replanted after cutting) should get my hardwood supply back to what it was soon enough.

The raccoon's third request was one I could complete the same day. I had a bag of dried purple mushrooms, and the eggs are stacking up faster than my two mayonnaise makers can handle them as I seldom refill them more than once a day. Looking forward to when the raccoon trading shop expands further.

Upgraded the pickaxe to iridium with some difficulty, getting most of the iridium for it from omni geodes. Then went to the desert on the 14th to trade for staircases, catch some fish, and look for iridium. After getting 4 Sandfish and some green algae, I gave up on fishing and entered SC. So much easier to get around and locate a ladder or shaft now that I don't have to strike twice to remove a rock. Didn't want to use any staircases, and avoided using bombs, so most of the iridium I got came from purple slimes, especially the one that dropped an iridium bar. Reached my first mastery level when I was down there, but haven't had time to cash in on it because the phone needed charging.

Have seen Penny's 8-heart event, and Elliot has sent mail that his 8-heart event is ready to go.

Been a bad girl at the end of year 7 and finally divorced my sweet pretender Elliott after the Feast of the Winter Star. He can do his walking meditation at the beach again, maybe it's more inspiration than the farm, since he always seemed to miss the beach somehow... Wiped out his memory and brought him a crab cake afterwards to console him. I married Harvey a few days later, so let's see what kind of husband he makes. He was very pleased with it, and I'm curious to see if he'll continue to charge his emergency fee if I collapse in the mines. Found out that Qi's “Four Precious Stones” quest is a piece of cake if you have the Statue of True Perfection 😊

Of course he does. You're a big part of what keeps that clinic from going bankrupt. My mind goes to his unmarried moanings about the clinic having too few regular patients to stay out of the red. Besides, how else to get you to give him any spending money for all the things he does around the house?

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that prismatic shards from that statue counts towards gathering them for that quest. My strategy pre-perfection has been to leave mystic stones in the quarry until getting that quest, then checking them, and reloading to only open those that contain a shard on that day. I've got one mystic stone so far, and won't accept Qi's Four Precious Stones quest before having at least four.

Oh, does he really? What a sly fox...😏But anyway, it doesn't happen too often anymore. Most of the time I pass out at my front door and then Marlon or Linus pick me up 😇
I'll have to remember your prismatic strategy. I've always avoided this quest because it's so hard to find those shards, but yours sounds like a good plan.

The third harvest of Ancient Fruit in summer gave me just enough seeds to fill up the greenhouse, with one fruit to spare. Made another bunch of kegs and now need about 20 to fill the big shed. Should be done by the time I get a full harvest from the greenhouse. I just need to mine some copper and wait for the oaks with tappers to do their thing. Have replaced much of my mushroom log grove at the railway with mystic trees. The late (on the 23rd) green rain made most of them ready to be fitted with tappers.

Sold off just enough stuff to afford the second house upgrade. With the farm being named Hardship Farm, I feel it helps the image if I keep the cash on hand low, at least the first year or two. Most of the refined produce gets stored away until I need the money, and in some cases they may be needed for other stuff, like truffle oil for rain totems.

Made my first visit to Ginger Island near the end of the month, remembering to bring a slingshot with me. I've almost got enough walnuts to restore the farmhouse there. Got my first dragon tooth from a lurker too. Once I've cleared the farm field over there, it might be time to stop pretending to be poor, since it takes a bit of money to buy starfruit seeds.

More than half of the villagers have reached the "can be ignored" list. Saw Leah's 8-heart event. Of the singles, Abigail, Haley, Harvey, Sebastian, and Maru are still playing hard to get.
