The Meowmere is from Terraria! The Faraway Stone looks like the Pylons in Terraria too! ‼

The iridium scythe is genuinely the only thing I care about, having an actual way to not spent literally 10 minutes on ginger island farming is a godsend, thank you concernedape god 🙏🙏

You forgot to mention that Farming Mastery can help get more xp quicker because of your iridium scythe, simply harvesting more crops gives so much more xp. Also regarding geode crushers not being able to get prismatic shards anymore, that's cuz the 'randomness' of the game has truly been made random. That being said, there is an option in the settings to turn back the 'calculated randomness' of previous updates meant for speedrunners.

Here is something you may not know.

I just reached the end of Spring year 2 in my new 1.6 playthrough, and my crab pots started giving me Silver quality fish. It would appear as though they age similar to fruit trees OR it was because I put Deluxe bait in them... it wasn't random either, 100% of the fish came out Silver quality. How to get gold quality or higher? Maybe using different baits? or letting them age longer or something? I have no idea, but it freaked me out when i pulled up quality fish from the pots after years of never seeing that happen before.

TLDR : Crab pots can give quality fish now. OP. Also the Dwarf statue buff for finding more coal AND prospector talent allow you to get HEAPS of coal from recycling.

You can use other things to protect your grass starters from being eaten so they can grow other than lightning rods. I place grass starters under fence posts, or those decorative hay bales from Marnie's. Make sure you spread them out but keep them close to your animal's barns, every day they have a chance of growing and it will help slow down their food consumption.

Affording those books at the start is hardly something you can do "first"

[hercarxx]

The cursed mannequin can also steal your clothes at night

[ZZZAAAIIIAAA]

If you guys want to level up faster - plant hundreds of ancient fruit and harvest. You'd level up immediately.

“This is important so do it” best video Ty! I started the new farm but now broke af lol need this update to come to switch asap

[bdoeden]

You do understand what the word first means, right? Many of the things you talk about are not even near to 'doable' in the beginning of the game.

My mastery will go like

Farming > foraging > combat > mining > fishing

[Stevetstevets]

Fun fact:in terraria, meowmere is an endgame weapon, dropped from the final boss of terraria *MOON LORD*
It shoots bouncing cat cat projectiles

[TransIsBest]

DONT USE THE BIG CHESTS YET!!!! Things have been disappearing in people's big chests for some reason. Concernedape knows about the bug and is working on a fix, but still, you'll lose some good stuff that way

[ninjaen]

Watching your video and as it nears the end, "Why do I hear animal crossing music?"

[kennycarter]

the way i am, 1st year is focused on hoarding money, and gold upgrades. winter is for hoarding bars for quality sprinklers so i can hoard crops in year 2.

frienship is as oppurunity arrises and bds that i can remember

[chipsfreak]

Lucky ass me got the monster book in my first trip to the mines 😂

[faith-by-faith]

I did not know about the bobbers. Thank you!

[TriadForce]

I only started playing Stardew for the first time since this latest update. So I can't even imagine the game without most of these new additions.

Here's some more tips:

Get the mushroom cave! It now comes with a free Dehydrator, in which you can place 5 of any positive mushroom or fruit in it to get dried shrooms/fruits. Great artisan goods when you have to offload a lot of shrooms and bush berries. And then there's raisins from grapes, which you preferably feed to your junimo huts to give them a chance to double-harvest, and possibly harvest faster, not sure about that last part. For this reason, I now have 5 grape starters in my greenhouse so I have a steady supply of raisins for 2 huts.

And get the Fish Smoker asap too. Your fish will sell for double, including their quality, minus spending 1 coal for each use. I still have leftover fish from the Night Market because while I got a smoker from Lewis's Prize machine, I'm having a lot of trouble getting cave jelly to make my own. I'm rearing Lava Eels and holding out for a good luck buff to fix this.

Place Mushroom Logs next to your wild trees to harvest even MORE mushrooms. Stick them between your tapped trees for better results.

Blue Grass makes animal gain friendship twice as fast as regular grass (I got half way after just 18 days), and it grants more hay per harvest.

BAIT MAKERS! Get one ASAP ASAP ASAP! Fishing specific fish in bulk has never been easier. A secret weapon for the 2 new fishing festivals.

The book: Jewels Of The Sea has a chance to enable you get roe from legendary fish.

The way I gasped when I heard Stickerbush Symphony/Bramble Blast at the start lol, LOVEEE that remix.
