Day 5

[jaimefellers]

Spring 5:

Retrieve the pickaxe + gems + stone + copper + all but 3 parsnips + all but 1 coal from the chest

• Leave Jade, Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds though since we want to save those for the Skull Caverns.
• We need 1 parsnip for the bundle, 1 parsnip to ship (optional), and 1 parsnip for Pam (optional).
  - We need 1 coal to craft a scarecrow tomorrow.

Summer 5:

• Clint is still working on the iridium pickaxe, so we cannot do a skull cavern run
• Reminder that ocean fishing is most profitable in summer (regardless of weather)
• Plant summer seeds today to get to foraging level 6 by Day 12 (it always storms on Summer 13 and lightning rod recipe is unlocked at level 6)
  • Complete summer foraging bundle at Community Center to get 30 Summer Seeds
  • Look around map for additional foraging items to craft as many summer seeds as possible
• Save all Fire Quartz for Quality Sprinklers & Lightning Rod crafting (1 Fire Quartz + 1 Coal = 3 Refined Quartz, more coal-efficient than using regular quartz)

Summer 1/2:

It also may be worthwhile noting that if you don't succeed in planting at least 272 starfruit in your first starfruit batch, you won't achieve Level 10 farming before planting the third batch of starfruit, and therefore won't be able to harvest 3 batches unless you start on Summer 1 instead of Summer 2.

Proof:
Farming experience at the end of spring: 3,300 (level 6)
Required total farming experience after harvesting first batch of starfruit: 15,000 (level 10)
Experience needed: 11,700
Starfruit gives 43 xp / crop harvested
11,700 / 43 = 272

Day 5 is a real time crunch to make it to the blacksmith.

Is there any reason not to craft the chest on the night of the 4th?

not 100% sure, i haven't played stardew for over a year, maybe someone else can chime in
