When mining for the first time, so many Stardew players felt curious about the Stardew Valley glittering boulder, the boulder located just beside the Mine entrance. But before being able to break, it may take a lot of time as the players have to finish some things.
Unlocking this process will involve getting one of the most useful tools in the game: the copper pan, which you won’t use for cooking. Instead, the copper pan is used for panning to collect minerals from the river.
For those who also want to try it, we want to share a thing or two about the panning guide in Stardew Valley.
How to Get The Copper Pan
To unlock the copper pan, you will need to break the glittering boulder in Stardew. It may take a long time to get enough money to get the Fish Bundles in the community center. As you probably know, the players may unlock bundles to open access to new areas, get new items, etc.
If you want to use the copper pan, you will have to unlock it first through a community center or a deal from JojaMart.
The Stardew Valley panning can only be done using a copper pan. Here’s how you get it:
Community Center
The first thing you can do to unlock panning in Stardew Valley is complete a few bundles. You will have to complete all the six Fish Tank Bundles. Once you get them completed, the Stardew glittering boulder will be destroyed, and you can get the copper pan for panning.
You will have to go to the Mountain region and get it from a cutscene with Willy.
JojaMartAnother quick method that doesn’t seem to be morally right is asking JojaMart to break the stone for you. You will have to obtain the JoJaMart membership and get the Panning Community Development Project. This will require 20,000 gold to break the stone.
Unlocking The Fish Tank Bundles
To unlock the Stardew panning, you will need to complete all the Fish Tanks. You can complete them by fishing for several fish and creatures that can be caught with the Crab Pot. Each fish can be caught in different places and times.
If all the items from each required Bundle are complete, the sparkling stone right next to the Mine entrance will be destroyed. Willy will give you a Copper Pan, which you can use to collect various types of Ore from lakes and rivers.
The following is a list of Bundles that you must complete and how to get them:
River Fish Bundle
After you successfully catch Sunfish, Catfish, Shad, and Tiger Trout, you will get a reward in the form of Bait.
Lake Fish Bundle
After you successfully catch Largemouth Bass, Carp, Bullhead, and Sturgeon, you will get a reward in the form of a Dressed Spinner.
Ocean Fish Bundle
After you successfully catch Sardine, Tuna, Red Snapper, and Tilapia, you will get a reward in the form of Warp Totem Beach.
Night Fish Bundle
After you successfully catch Walleye, Bream, and Eel, you will get a reward in the form of a Small Glow Ring.
Crab Pot Bundle
After you successfully catch Lobster, Crayfish, Crab, Cockle, Mussel, Shrimp, Snail, Periwinkle, Oyster, and Clam, you will get a reward in the form of a Crab Pot.
Specialty Fish Bundle
After you successfully catch Pufferfish, Ghostfish, Sandfish, and Woodskip, you will get a reward in the form of Dish O' the Sea.
Now, once you get the copper pan after the glittering boulder is removed, you can start panning immediately. The process is really simple. Find the shimmering lights located near a body of water. All you have to do is to equip the copper pan and use it in the lights. Each day, you may get a random mineral to collect in the same spot.
Can You Unlock with Bundles with Friends?
Absolutely. As fishing is one of many activities you can do with friends, you will naturally unlock the bundles the longer you spend your time fishing. Fishing is indeed a fun activity, and you can start doing it with other players.
You can choose to play on the official servers or the private ones. But for a smoother and more private gaming experience, we would prefer the second one.
If you’re also planning to play through a private server, we highly recommend playing on a private server. Therefore, we highly recommend Scalacube as one of the best server hosts.
At an affordable price, one can obtain the best server host to accommodate one’s multiplayer gaming sessions. With a more dependable connection, one may be free from issues such as random pings, inconsistent connectivity, and many others.
