Stardew Valley: A Ten Million Gold Farm Run – No Town Required!
While many unconventional Stardew Valley playthroughs exist, one player achieved over ten million gold without ever leaving their farm. The game's core loop – planting, tending, and harvesting – is usually fueled by seeds from Pierre's General Store. However, early-game alternatives exist, eliminating the need for town trips.
The key? Mixed Seeds. Each season yields different crops from these seeds, obtainable by tilling soil or sand, and harvesting weeds. This strategy, detailed by Ok-Aspect-9070 on the Stardew Valley subreddit, utilized only starting tools. The Four Corners farm map was strategically chosen; Mixed Seeds are readily available, and its built-in mining area facilitates gold acquisition.
Mixed Seed Crop Yields:
Season | Crops |
---|---|
Spring | Cauliflower, Parsnip, Potato |
Summer | Corn, Pepper, Radish, Wheat |
Fall | Artichoke, Corn, Eggplant, Pumpkin |
Winter | Any (Greenhouse & Garden Pot only) |
Island | Blueberry, Melon, Pineapple, Rhubarb |
Early-game income relies heavily on Cauliflowers. However, the Seed Maker significantly accelerates profit generation. Requiring Farming level 9 and a gold bar, the Seed Maker produces 1-3 seeds per input, with a rare chance of creating an Ancient Seed. These Ancient Seeds, while slow-growing (28 days), offer substantial returns.
This remarkable achievement took nine in-game years and 25 hours of real-time gameplay. While it doesn't unlock achievements, it's a testament to strategic farming and resource management that seasoned players might find inspiring.
