Spoiler alert! I am not even going to try to avoid spoilers. So be forewarned.
This walkthrough is for the iPad version of the game which has quite a few differences from the desktop version.
Stardew Valley is very flexible, so as you play the game your experiences will not be the same as mine. Once I am past the game basics, I will not be going step by step, but only recapping the action.
If you are looking just to get a particular question about the game answered. You can find just about every thing you need to know in the Wiki.
The 11th day of spring starts with a plea from Robin, the carpenter, for me to help find her favorite ax. Could use the money for sure.
The night before, I loaded up my backpack with things to go to the museum, the blacksmith, and raw materials for Robin to build me a silo. I was short three clumps of clay for the silo. I started digging in the ground in front of the cabin looking for clay. Normally this works pretty well, but not on this day.
After tending my garden and giving up on digging up some clay, it was late enough for the blacksmith to be open. I headed out, stopping at every wiggle worm group I saw to dig, hoping for some more clay. I hadn’t fond any by the time I got to my first stop.
I moved everything from my backpack into the storage box I have alongside the blacksmith, except the geodes I needed processed.Normally I would be disappointed if the geodes had a lot of clay in them, but this time I was disappointed that there wasn’t more clay. I am still two clays short.Sometimes I am not sure if I have gotten everything out of my backpack for Gunther, so I click on the desk until I get this dialogue.
This time the museum gave me a reward of nine melon seeds, but they can’t be planted until summer. After making my donations to the museum, I doubled back and sold the excess gems and minerals to Clint. Retuning to my storage chest I retrieved the things I needed to carry with me.
I went down to the beach to dig around some looking for clay, but didn’t find any. By the time I had found enough clay to have Robin build my silo, it was too late in the day, so I headed to the forest. I spent some time foraging before, I remembered the spring onions, and crossed the river to look for them.
I not only found the spring onions, but I found some wild horseradish.
I continued to forage until it was getting late. Back at the cabin, I cleared out my backpack and set it up for the next day, with the materials I needed to take over to Robin’s shop.
I have never found any use for the spring onion, so I put them into the shipping crate before heading to bed. They don’t bring much gilder, but it is better than nothing.Before going to bed, I loaded some more ore into the furnace
In my mail the next morning I was reminded that the Egg Festival was the next day. One reason I haven’t really been bothering stopping to chat up the villagers, was that I knew that I would have a chance to meet almost all of them at the festival.
As soon as I took care of my morning chores, I finally remembered to craft a scarecrow. I had been meaning to craft one ever since I got the recipe, but kept forgetting. Luckily, I got it installed before crows attacked my garden. The crows will eat any type of seeds, including flowers.
Before crafting something, you have to move the items you need into your backpack, or they will not show up in the above panel.The area I tilled up looking for clay is reverting because I didn’t water and plant it.I forgot that I was to get a reward for building the scarecrow. Robin’s home and shop. Her daughter is in the bedroom in the upper left hand corner. Her husband is in his laboratory in the lower right. The big stairway in the bottom middle leads to their son’s room.Clicking on the front of Robin’s desk brings up this dialogue.“Construct Farm Buildings” also brings up “move buildings.” It cost nothing to move buildings, and I often find myself moving quite a few.First you have to pick a location, keeping in mind that you can always change this later.
Well, with that all taken care of, I decided it was time to head to the Community Center and put my new knowledge of the mysterious language to the test.
Each package represents a bundle. All six bundles must be completed before you get the bridge repair. This isn’t the bridge at the beach. It is the bridge at the quarry. I was already carrying two of the things I needed for this bundle. I dashed back to the farm and picked up a few things from storage.When you finish bundle it turns into a lower and a present appears on the trunk of the try. Clicking on the new package gives you your reward.I received 30 wild spring seeds from completing the spring foraging bundle.I dropped the cave carrot on to the Exotic Foraging Bundle. It will be a while before I finish that one. Once I received my reward, another gold tablet lit up in the room across the hall.I made a note of the crops I needed to grown, and reminded myself to stop at the general store to pick up green bean seeds.
Having run out of things to do at the community center, I headed back to the farm and spent some time clearing rocks and thinning out a few of the trees. My idea is to farm trees on my farm until such a time that I need the space for something else.
When I headed for bed my energy was about gone, but I made it.All the chopping down of trees helped me level up in Foraging.
