The more one explores the mesmerising world of Stardew Valley, the more he or she will realise that amassing riches is essential—the need to progress and prosper.
Gold in Stardew Valley is the lifeblood of the economy that gives you access to the upgrading, fostering relationships, and unlocking of windows of new opportunities.
Here, we will see a range of strategies and tactics by which players can keep the fattest profits throughout the entire course, from crop optimisation to artisan wares master.
Planning for Prosperity
The first year in Stardew Valley teaches players how to get on with farming life, and the following years require a strategic approach to make a killing out of farming.
One primary strategy is the use of the Greenhouse. The Greenhouse becomes available after completing the Pantry Bundles in the Community Center or can be purchased through JojaMart. It is a structure that creates conditions for planting throughout the year and enables the planting of high-value crops both in and out of season.
Maximising its potential, however, is centred around the planting of Ancient Fruit, a crop resilient enough to regrow within a space of one week, with a minimum fetching price of 550 gold.
Aside from that, placing Fruit Trees on the right side of the Greenhouse at the outer side will be much more advantageous to the profit of the farm, the fact that the trees have fruits on their respective seasons to the right.
Seasonal Strategies
Spring: The Oasis in the Calico Desert starts selling Rhubarb seeds for 100g—each becoming the highest-grossing crop in Spring.
Rhubarb has the potential to make big money in the neighbourhood of 440-660g per harvest. Players could also take advantage of Strawberries' multiple harvests, upping the take to over 6,000g for that 1,000g investment with Tiller added to the recipe.
Summer: Starfruit is the most profitable crop; its seeds are sold at the Oasis for 400 gold apiece. With careful cultivation and the Tiller profession, players should earn over 7,000 gold in profit from four harvests of Blueberries, so they're a good choice for return on investment.
Fall: Colored leaf crops aside, pumpkins come out as the crop to produce during this season, given they each only cost 100 gold to seed in and earn a decent profit margin.
For players seeking a multi-harvest opportunity, cranberries are an excellent bet, promising around 2,500 gold profit from a 1,000 gold investment.
Some Special Crops and Rare Finds
If traditional crops ensure you have stable returns, particular crops will be the ones that earn you windfall gains. Among them, Ancient Fruit and Sweet Gem Berries are undoubtedly the stars.
However, sometimes, their seedlings can only be obtained through the Traveling Cart. Ancient Fruit, in particular, allows multiple harvests and gives a good profit in the long run.
Animal Husbandry:
Constructing a barn or coop in Stardew Valley for livestock is part of a long-term investment to have a significant payoff. Most notably, pigs can take the setup to another level, as they are the only animals in the game that can forage for truffles without limit.
With proper management, players can produce high-quality truffles and make the most of their profits, assuming they pick up the Gatherer and Botanist Professions.
The Power of Artisan Goods
Artisan Goods are the way to make a serious profit in the Valley, as they allow you to raise the value of your plants and animal-derived products.
This comes in handy when a player has the artisan equipment that converts essential into more expensive products, such as casks, cheese presses, kegs, mayonnaise machines, preserves jars, and oil makers. On top of this, Tiller and Artisan professions further increase profitability, ensuring that artisan crafting is a veritable goldmine.
Now you're in the money with Stardew Valley's economy, provided you persevere, use your smarts, and exercise just a bit of luck.
