The first year in "Star Dew Valley" is very important for novice players. This is the main time for development. It is still troublesome to play. First of all, the farm type is the type. The standard farm is suitable for novices, with rules of terrain, and evenly distributed resources, making it convenient for various agricultural activities.

How to play the first year of the newcomer in Stardew Valley

1. Preparation

(I) Initial selection

Farm type: Standard farm is suitable for beginners, with regular terrain, and evenly distributed resources, making it convenient for various agricultural activities.

Career selection: It is recommended to choose a miner career. There is a high demand for ore in the early stage. Choosing a miner can speed up the collection of ore and can also obtain more ore benefits.

(II) Initial resource utilization

Don't rush to cut the grass on the farm. In autumn, you can use a sickle to harvest it and it can be turned into hay and can be used to feed animals.

Remember to bring a hoe when you go out and dig it when you see earthworms, and you can get clay and other supplies. Collecting daffodils and other plants on the roadside can not only give them as gifts to NPCs to increase their favorability, but also use the extras to restore physical strength.

(III) Develop good daily habits

Watch TV: Watch TV first after getting up every day. The weather forecast will allow you to know the weather in advance and arrange activities on the day reasonably, such as fishing or doing indoor work on rainy days; fortune telling and divining can help you understand the luck of the day. When you are lucky, go down the mine and make it easier to produce good things and the next ladder. If you are lucky, go fishing.

View calendar: Pierre store has a calendar that can view NPC birthdays and various festivals, and the black box encyclopedia can also find relevant information. The early gifts are limited. If you give them the gifts they like on their birthday, the favorability bonus is 8 times that of the usual ones. For the same gift, the higher the quality, the more favorable you will feel. When you have money, you can buy a calendar from Robin and keep it at home for easy viewing.

2. Spring gameplay

(One) Day 1

Organize the farm: After getting up and watching TV, go out and clean the farm simply, open a small piece of land for planting, without cleaning all of it, and pay attention to retaining the forage. The surrounding stones and wood can be properly cleaned to make the forage grow a wider range.

Plant crops: Plant the sent parsnips seeds and go to the Pierre store to buy seeds. Spring sacrifice requires mung beans, cauliflower, and potatoes. Buy 12 of each type, and buy parsnips for the rest of the money, because the sacrifice requires 5 Venus parsnips. This time, the planting is mainly for the sacrificial task, and the excess ordinary parsnips can be used to restore physical strength or give it to others.

Exploration and Social: The rest of your time can be stroll around, get familiar with the map, chat with NPCs, and learn about Stardew Valley.

(II) The next day

Get the fishing rod: After getting up and watching TV watering, Willie will ask you to find him, go to the beach to the south to see Willie get the fishing rod, and start a fishing trip. If the store has a training fishing rod, novices can consider purchasing it in the early stage of leveling, so it is easier to catch fish.

Fishing Leveling: Today's main task is the fishing brush level, which is to unlock the fiberglass fishing rod (it costs 1,800 yuan, and the money earned from fishing is given priority to buying fishing rods). When you are not physically strong, you can reply by picking up wild vegetables or fish you catch. A few fishing spots are recommended: one is the beach where Willy is; the second is the fishing spot in the mine, which is far away from the shore, and you can catch better quality fish. Generally, there will be no NPCs to destroy the placed items. It is also close to the mine cave. You can fish by the way after digging the mine. After unlocking the mine cart, you can also take a bus directly; the third is the location below Hailey and their house, where catfish can be caught in rainy days, which is the key to making money in spring (catfish is too difficult in the early stage, so choose carefully).

(Wednesday)The third day

It is likely to rain on the third day, so there is no need to water it. If you save up 1,800 yuan the day before and have a high fishing level, you can go to Willina to buy fishing rods and bait, and then go to the fishing spot below Haley's house to catch catfish for a day; if you can't afford to buy a fishing rod or have poor fishing skills, go fishing at the beach to save money to level up.

(Fourth) Day 4, Day 5

Mine opens: No�Create whether the mine is open on the fourth day. If it is open, go to the mine to the north; if it is not opened, continue fishing.

Pig cart merchant: Every Friday and Sunday, there will be pig cart merchants in the south, selling some rare items, but the prices are relatively expensive, just take a look at them in the early stage. However, if a merchant sells fruit, he may consider buying it for sacrifice.

(Five) Succession days

Daily activities: basically farming, mines and fishing. Get up and watch TV every day and arrange activities according to luck. If you are lucky, go to a few more floors of mine. At least one elevator is allowed to be transported on the 5 floors every day, otherwise the "technology" of going to the mine will not keep up; if you are lucky, go to the 5 floors of mine and go fishing. On rainy days, I went to Hailey's house to catch catfish.

Tool upgrade: After refining the copper ingot, you will give priority to upgrading the kettle, and then upgrade other tools. There is no need to upgrade the hoe in the early stage.

Planting planning: Pay attention to planting plants that cannot be mature before No. 13. At the same time, you can actively plant some oak trees and other trees, and make a sap collector and hang it on the tree. Subsequently, making small buckets requires a large amount of oak sap.

Social interaction: Develop a habit. Whenever you get a new thing, try to keep one or two servings in the box. If there is an NPC birthday, try to give gifts and increase your favorability. When you have time, go to the community center to see the items required for each sacrifice and prepare in advance.

(Sixth) Day 13

This day's festival is very important and you must participate. Strawberry seeds can be bought at the stalls set up by Pierre during the festival. Strawberries are the most profitable crop in spring and cannot be purchased normally. You have to save money a few days ago. Generally, buying about 100 strawberry seeds is enough to upgrade to level 5 planting. When planting reaches level 5, you can learn the skills to increase the price of crops. So try to save the harvested strawberries and sell them after learning the skills. Strawberries can be harvested in total for two waves, and there will be no time left in the future. If you don’t want to plant new crops, you don’t need to water them. Remember not to sell out strawberries, leave twenty or thirty of them in the seed production machine to make seeds, and leave them until the spring of the next year.

(Seventh) Thirteenth Day

When you earn 25,000 yuan, someone will come to build a cave next to your home, and you can choose to grow mushrooms or fruit bats. Mushrooms do not require cost, and they are collected once every two days. The harvested mushrooms can replenish their physical strength; the fruit bat cave can produce various fruits. If you are in a hurry to unlock the greenhouse, you can choose fruit bats, but it is also recommended that novices choose mushrooms. The subsequent tools will still be planting vegetables, fishing and mine upgrading. You can choose parsnips and mushrooms to supplement your physical strength. Raspberries can be collected in the wild from the 15th to the 18th spring, which is a good thing to restore physical strength in the early stage.
