A Short Guide On Stardew Valley Gameplay

Welcome to this glorious game! In the Stardew Valley game, you can enjoy a great adventure, build and run your farm and contribute to the community. And even though this game is relaxing and it’s simple, there are some things that you should learn before you start playing. The beginning of the game might be stressful, but this short guide on gameplay will help you figure it all out in no time!

Farming

You will begin by establishing your own farm, and then you have to actually learn how to farm. Start by building up your machinery, and buildings and decide on a specialization. There are a lot of options to choose from - truffle oil tycoon, vineyard, tea, and fruits - there is something for everyone. Explore all the options and choose your favorite. Then, you should learn how to build up your farm and run it successfully in the next couple of seasons or years.

Skills

Even though there is a lot of farming, Stardew Valley isn’t only about that. There are so many other ways to live your life in this game. You can spend hours and hours just exploring and not even discovering anything. It can be overwhelming but there is no “correct” way to play this game, you can simply do whatever you want!

There are five types of “proficiency” in this game. These categories can be used to gain experience and then make your life in the game a bit easier. Plus, with this experience, you can unlock recipes and items, including fishing, foraging, mining, farming, and combat.

Relationships

One of the biggest parts of Stardew Valley is creating relationships with other townspeople around you. You will have six bachelors and six bachelorettes who are ready to be married to you! When you set up your farm and start earning money then you can start making friends in Pelican Town and surrounding places. Start making friends, meet new people, and see which of those marriage candidates is the right one for you!

Quests

If you thought that you can just chill in this game, you’re wrong. Stardew Valley has something for everyone and it thus has a lot of great quests and some special items for you to find. There are several special items, including Dinosaur Eggs and Prismatic Shard which you can search for days! But, you can always find some help on how to find them. Also, quests vary in levels and the harder ones can offer you some great rewards.

The Secret Notes

This is probably the most thrilling aspect of the Stardew Valley game. These secret notes are hidden messages that you can find all around the world. There are a total of 25 secret notes, and each has some crucial information regarding the game. Also, each note will have its number clearly displayed so you can focus on getting them in order. So, to make things clear, first look for the Secret Note 1, then 2, 3, etc… And as you increase their levels make sure to still read them in order. Also, to make things easier for you, you can rely on the internet to help you figure out the notes. So, look for sites that explain those, and here are some hints on the Secret Note 20.

However, before you can even find those secret notes, you will have to first experience the first in-game Winter. Once the winter comes, the notes will become available and you will get a magnifying glass from a mysterious figure and you can finally unravel the mysteries.

These are just some basics of the game. You have a lot of quests to complete if you wish, and their order is entirely up to you. Additionally, don’t forget to create meaningful relationships while exploring this wonderful world because you never know who can help you complete the quests or simply be your friend. The rest is up to you; you can maintain your farm, build it, upgrade it and invite townspeople over. Also, don’t forget about those secret notes that can help you learn more about this game, and even find new ways to complete quests. Good luck and enjoy!
