This is a quick run through of hacks and tips for the Stardew Valley beginner. Some of these are money making tips, and others are ways to make your gameplay easier and more enjoyable. They\u2019ll be in order from the beginning of the year onwards, and then anything else that doesn\u2019t have an ideal timeline, or is just general advice. I got all of this information from my own experience backed up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/stardewvalleywiki.com\/Stardew_Valley_Wiki\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caroline and her Tea:<\/strong> Some villager\u2019s friendships are more financially rewarding than others. Caroline (who lives at the general store with her family, Pierre and Abigail) is a great person to befriend quickly. Gift her daffodils (an easy spring forage) to boost her hearts quicker, and at two hearts you\u2019ll be rewarded with a cutscene. To trigger it, enter her tea room in the kitchen of her house on a sunny day. She\u2019ll talk about how much she likes her tea, and the next day you\u2019ll get the recipe for tea saplings in the mail. Craft some and plant them. They produce tea leaves the last week of every season, which you can either sell or turn into tea with a keg. When the week is over, you can chop the saplings down and sell them as well, or leave them for the next season.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279\" style=\"width:202px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Fishing:<\/strong> are the fish giving you a hard time? In that case, buy the training rod from Willy at his shop. It\u2019ll expand your fishing bar and make it easier to catch, at the expense of getting lower quality and less expensive fish.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" style=\"width:190px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Strawberries:<\/strong> strawberries are the best money maker in spring. However, they\u2019re not available until the Egg Festival on Spring 13th. Save your money, as they\u2019re 100g a seed. You can even pre-hoe and water the area you\u2019d like to plant them in before the festival, which will save you time. If you\u2019re really rushing, after the festival you can turn in all your spring crops to the community center to get 20 Speed-Gro, and get an extra harvest out of your strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282\" style=\"width:166px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>The TV:<\/strong> use your television! Everyday it\u2019ll give you a weather forecast for the next day, and the luck for the current day. On Sundays and Wednesdays it gives you recipes on the Queen of Sauce channel, and Mondays and Thursdays it\u2019ll give you other tips for life in the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-283\" style=\"width:175px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Help Wanted Board:<\/strong> next to the entry to Pierre\u2019s General Store there\u2019s a calendar and a request board. The calendar will give you birthdays and events happening that month, but the request board is a little more interesting. Do every quest you can, because for every three you complete, you\u2019ll get a prize ticket. Redeem those at Mayor Lewis\u2019s house for a fun (and useful!) assortment of prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-15.png 450w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-15-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Now onto the other assorted tips!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First day of the season:<\/strong> drink a coffee or eat a food buff! The valley is a big place, and you\u2019ll be spending a lot of time running around clearing the new season\u2019s debris, then buying and planting your new crops. Speed buffs will make your life SO much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-287\" style=\"width:184px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Dehydrators and Fish Smokers: <\/strong>these two machines are your friends! If you choose the Riverland Farm you\u2019ll get a smoker for free, and if you choose the mushroom cave you\u2019ll get a free&nbsp;dehydrator. Both of these will be influenced by the Artisan Profession (that\u2019s much later), but even in early game will make you a boat-load of money.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-291\" style=\"width:162px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Best crops:<\/strong> the berries will be your best money maker &#8211; strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries (spring, summer, and fall, respectively). The dehydrator machine is great for making extra gold, but even just selling the raw fruits is good. Plus, they\u2019re regrowable, which means no replanting more seeds!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-292\" style=\"width:170px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Crab pots:<\/strong> these are the hidden gems of the fishing levels. If you don&#8217;t like fishing with the rod, buy or make yourself some crab pots and put them in the river, mountain lake, or ocean with some bait. Go down and check them the next day, and reap your rewards: fish, trash, and sweet sweet fishing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-23.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-293\" style=\"width:166px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Travelling Cart: <\/strong>the merchant visits the valley on Fridays and Sundays and sells assorted items for exorbitant prices. Occasionally there will be something you need or want. It\u2019s worth a check, especially if you\u2019re trying to complete the Community Center in Year 1.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-25.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-25.png 500w, https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-25-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Chair Skipping:<\/strong> there\u2019s a few places in the valley you can\u2019t enter without upgraded tools. The Secret Woods is one of them. However, if you bring a chair with you, you can angle yourself in a way that will let you place the chair on the other side of the log, hop into it, and hop out on the Secret Woods side. Some people hate it, some love it. Do whichever you want! It\u2019s not a competition, and thus, \u201ccheating\u201d doesn\u2019t really affect anything.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"36\" height=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-297\" style=\"width:170px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>The Horse:<\/strong> I would highly recommend getting the stable from Robin as early as you can. Riding the horse is faster than running, and it\u2019ll save you time. You can leave it anywhere in the valley, and by the morning it\u2019ll be in the stable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"81\" height=\"78\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalwriting.cornellcollege.edu\/game-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/43\/2025\/04\/image-29.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-299\" style=\"width:225px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stardew Valley Wiki<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>And finally, don\u2019t feel the need to rush! Play how you want! There is no wrong way to play! If you want to speed run the game and achieve True Perfection as soon as you can, go for it! If you want to make a pretty farm or a utilitarian farm, it\u2019s up to you! Enjoy the game however you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys!
