i got lucky with geodes this time around and got six iridium ore from them around mid-summer, so i'll be taking an iridium bar to the fair

I dont think ores or bars are worth any points

Fishing doesn't really give a lot of money per day unless it's raining and I can just do it for the entire day but it's cool scraping by. I never bothered buying ore in my first playthrough because I was swimming in it constantly but now it's the way I progress. I can't wait to get a house though, I want that kitchen. Is the fridge still bugged on switch

fishing is decent money right when your starting out from what I can tell. at least compared to the foraging/mining you could be doing otherwise. also on my third day i lost a fish after getting a hit within 2 seconds because it was just going apeshit flying all over the place and there was about a zero percent chance i was going to catch it.. i'm sure theres like legendary fish in this game and i feel like that was one of them. if only i had been more prepared..

the perks help fishing a lot, if i spend a day fishing its an easy 4+ thousand gold and i've only got one of the perks. it never catches up to farming probably but thats the point

I think legendaries have a different icon but yeah they're basically impossible to catch until you're leveled up.

idc about this kind of spoilers, whats the fishing level 4 or 5 bonus? the little bar indicating the level is a bigger rectangle than the other ones, seemingly indicating a special perk

you get a choice of two. one gives +25% money from all fish and the other boosts crab pots somehow. i dont remember what the other ones are when you get to 10 but i'm pretty sure one boosts the money bonus from fish to +50%

yesterday i would have told you that that would be a really tough choice bc i wanted to have lots of crab pots in my rivers, but 1. they're expensive for where i'm at in the game and 2. they seem to kind of totally sick rear end and the two i have so far ran me 3k and probably have only made me 300 or so gold. so unless the pot bonus is rly good i'm going with the former. cheers

Go with the perk that gives you better fish sell price bc it lets you take the best level 10 one, more treasure chance

I think its a flaw that the game doesnt let you see the level 10 perks. All other games with permanent skill trees let you see the whole thing. At least on PC its very easy to change it in your save file

I was planning on marrying her in my next game because she seems pretty cool.

But then I found out that Emily is like a New Age hippy spiritualist who meditates until she has out of body experiences so I’m definitely going with her next time. gently caress you Clint.

It's very nearly impossible to get someone to dance with you for he first flower dance. I think you need to give them two "loved" gifts almost every week from the start

oh okay cool. that's always stressed me out in my 5 or so previous save files (which never made it past year 1 :p) but i'm glad i don't even have to worry about it. on that topic i have conquered my min max optimization stress and now i just do whatever the hell i want when i play this and its 100x better.

I think Stardew is better in a lot of ways but Rune Factory 4 on 3DS is really fun. It's more of a dungeon crawler than it is a farming game though. Also, just downloaded a patch on Switch! :woot:

Cool winter tip: If you've got the maxed out hoe, or even if you don't, go down to the beach and start hoeing out huge chunks of sand, you'll get a fuckton of yams and roots for some odd reason, and they sell for a decent amount.

Punished Chuck

You only have to use the hoe to dig up tiles with the worms sticking out of the ground, right? Or can you get stuff from other tiles too?

I like to go down to the beach or the mountain lake and fish all day in winter.

In the winter time, all hoeable tiles have a random chance of netting yams or roots, even if the little wormy guys aren't there.

idk how much these sell for but 70 things for a few minutes digging around the beach seems like a pretty decent use of time.
