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.
Waking up on the 25th day of spring I see that my ax is ready, but it is a lucky day, so I decide to put off picking up the ax, and headed right to the mine, after doing my farm chores.

Working down from level 40 to 50, I received a pair of tundra boots, which are even better for fighting in than my leather ones, giving me +2 defense and +1 immunity. I changed boots, and intending to sell the old ones at the guild.








You might have wondered why I took the trouble to take all the trash I fished up back to the farm. With the recycling machine, I can convert the trash into stone, coal, iron ore, wood, torches, cloth, and refined quartz.


I spent the rest of the day breaking up stumps on the farm, until my energy ran out and I went to bed. The next day I was still trying to decide if I should build another silo or save up to build a chicken coop. I had the raw materials for the coop in my backpack. On seeing that it was a lucky day, I decided to put off the choice and head to the mine. I worked my way down to level 60 where I received another weapon that I really don’t like to use.



The next day, after picking up my new trashcan I went fishing. Soon I found myself in a jam and had to use it. Below, you can see that five Green Algae will let me pocket 11 gilder, but it would be better if I would just quit letting this happen. I don’t toss the trash, because it would bring no guider at this point but can be processed back at the farm.


It is now the last day of the season, and I have finally decided that I will build a chicken coop first. All I need to do is save up the gilder. Later in the game, the last day of a season will be busy for me, but not in this first year. I head over to the Community Center with some things for the challenges.
