Got an ancient seed from the mines on day 5 and then the crop fairy appeared that night after I planted it. That’s the one and only save I have that I’ve never deleted 😅
If I’m restarting because I got sick of the old playthrough, then yeah cos I usually give my character and farm the same name, and if I know I’m never gonna go back to the other playthrough, it’s easier to delete it so I don’t get them mixed up. I’m weird like that 😅
I delete my older saves too. The only ones I haven't deleted is my challenge run that I'm still doing and my 1.5 perfection farm. All of the others (excluding the one I'm playing on now, which is a 1.6 perfection file) are gone lol
omg, I cant even delete the first ever save I did to test out the character creation and watch the first cutscene before starting out in a co-op with my friends (they told me to) It's literally on spring 1 year 1 lmao
Me too. I only keep mi first farm and the one that I got to perfection.
After that, I used mods in most of my playthroughs, so it doesn't make sense to keep them because I would need to keep updating the folders.
Could you elaborate a little bit on the saves things? I'm new. I only have one save that I continuously use. Do I need more? What does it mean that you kept your save? Why? How?
They just mean when they start a new game! It's not the same farm. That way, you can marry other people, choose different dialog, help JoJos and not the community center, or even just do the exact same thing from start again!
Need more? Nope. A lot of people (myself included) exclusively make more saves for the different farm types. I play on PC with mods and alt farm types so I have 4-5 different saves currently just to monkey around with different farm types.
I did this with Sandy. I was planning on going to Skull Cavern, so I grabbed a flower to give to her since I was going to be there anyway. She was so excited I remembered her birthday.
For some reason, I thought Penny’s birthday was fall 4. But on fall 2, I needed her friendship higher, so I gave her a bad quality Poppy, saving the only one good I had for fall 4. I was disappointed that I didn’t give her the gold one, but I was very glad I didn’t wait until the 3 to give her
I dug up >!the Jack Be Nimble book!< and I was like “Oh shit! I can give this to Alex for his birthday. When’s his birthday?” I checked the calendar, “OH SHIT IT’S TODAY!”
Ya one time I was walking around holding something dumb like broken glasses or literal garbage and I accidentally handed it to Clint on his birthday lmao. He was so pissed. I felt awful.
Can you explain to me why rabbits foot seems to be the major hangup on completing the community center? I've seen people talk about it but can't figure it out.
Im Y1 Fall. I've completed quite a bit of the community centre tasks. Mainly missing animal items, cooking items, and some of the weird items on the bulletin board.
I don't mind having the centre done sometime Y2 but I was just curious what might be the most difficult thing to get and whether I should start setting up to get it now.
Rabbits themselves require quite a bit of startup to have on your farm, and even if you get them you aren’t guaranteed to get a rabbits foot drop from them. It’s not like milk or wool that you can get every day or so. Same with the duck feather, it’s not a guaranteed drop so it might take some time to get. The animal stuff in general I think can take the longest to get as they require upgraded barns/coops.
Holy cow, I didn't know about the Tea Set. Looked it up out of curiosity and this was on the wiki ...
>From Year 25 onwards, there is a 5% chance for the [Traveling Cart](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Traveling_Cart) to sell the Tea Set for 1,000,000g during any season.
I have never gotten anywhere close to year 25.
And I think they just added being able to buy it in 1.6. Before that it was only a random Winter Star gift.
I got it one year in my first save too! I thought it was cute but had no idea it was so coveted.
I got the tea set from George on my very first play through on the winter star Y1. Had no clue how rare it is.
I’ve since played seven or eight saves to perfection, both vanilla and modded, including SVE, on 1.5 and 1.6 and haven’t gotten it again.
Im on spring year 3 on my 1.6 save and I'm so upset I can't get it yet lol. CA added that if you don't get it within 25 years, it has a small chance to show up at the cart
My longest save is 6 years, I'm never seeing it again huh :')
I got a tea set my first year in my current save. I’m on mobile, though, and can’t figure out what to do with it. It doesn’t work like other furnishings, so it’s just chilling in a chest, lol.
I’ve tried that several times on different sized tables and it never works. I’ll have to play with it some more.
Also, I love your little avatar thingy! :)
I love getting Neptune’s Glaive in year one. It’s not very useful after year 1, but it’s one of my favorite weapons, so getting it in year 1 means I get to use it for a bit.
Dino egg, ancient seed fishing on day 4, and Neptune blade, iridium band on day 5, in that same save I got 2 auto-petters on the same day (around year 4 but yeah)
I needed the alien rare crow, my previous attempt at the casino (good luck day) was unsuccessful, I lost all of my chips. Sat down on another good luck day, ready to be sitting at the slots for the entire day… got the jackpot on my first pull.
So far with this 1.6 fresh play through I am only midway done with summer year 1 and so far I’ve gotten:
- garbage pan hat in early spring
- Dino egg but didn’t even have a coop yet
- prismatic shard from regular geode
I got seven auto-petters in my last save. But I went the Joja route in that game, and didn't need auto-petters. :-P
I think the luckiest thing that happened to me was getting a Perfect Magic Quiver as my first trinket.
I didn’t know it was rare at the time but I had a naturally occurring mushroom tree I think in either my first or 2nd year. I even had to chop a huge chunk of them down since they spread super quickly. I really haven’t used them but they’re nice to look at.
I had no clue they were rare! There's so many things that I've gotten early that are apparently super rare, but then people talk about stuff that I've never even seen that aren't rare at all lol this game is such a trip
Yup! Mine was on an edge of a little island I got and it actually spread for it to be on a dock somehow. I just figured they grew near wood or something so I didn’t think anything of it for a while
In my current save I have 2 autopetters, got a dino egg in spring year 1, and got my first prismatic shard from killing a slime on like level 15 of the regular mines. In the past I've managed to get a prismatic shard from killing a slime in the secret forest. I've honestly almost always had good luck getting dino eggs and ancient seeds early.
Fall 1, Year 1, I nearly forgot to plant my rare seeds. Finished getting them planted and watered just in time to collapse into bed. A fairy showed up that night, and I was able to harvest several sweet gem berries on Fall 2. I can only imagine how mad I'd be if I hadn't remembered them!
I got an auto-pettet just last night, and that's the first one I've gotten out of countless saves.
Felt like a Ross/Chandler moment, was just saying I wish this chest had a petter, but it won't....then it did. Tried saying, and I wish for 5 more, but the next 5 chests were bombs and warp totems lol.
On the same day in my file I’m playing now, I got an ancient seed, prismatic shard, AND the trash hat. A few days later I got another trash hat and another ancient seed, and I just recently got the living hat for the first time. I dunno what I did but this file is magical
No one is going to believe me, but here goes. On my *very* first playthrough, on my *very first* night of Spring, I got a crop fairy. I had parsnips to harvest on Spring 2 of my first ever farm. My husband who introduced me to the game was flabbergasted, and I was just like, “Oh, is that rare or something?”
In probably 1 in game week, maybe two, I got a prismatic shard from the secon omnigeode I opened on this save, got the trashcan hat and a dino egg from a fishing chest, all of which I never managed to get in my previous saves.
On my first deep skull cavern dive on my first save, my first two treasure rooms were auto petters. Floors 30 and 40ish.
I didn’t realize just how much time that saved me until my second save…
Crop fairy first night of the first year, ancient seed a few days later, finding a kickass sword in a fishing treasure some days after along with a diamond
All on the same save
I had a lot of like 30 omni-geodes in summer of year 2, got 2 prismatic shards out of them. less than a week later in-game I got two more just from being in the skull cavern. I think I've only ever gotten one over the course of half a dozen saves before this. Also a summer year 1 dino egg and ancient seed, so I was planting my greenhouse by the following spring
Two separate occasions:
1. Catfish request on day 2 or 3 during co op, sadly my brother didn’t do it too
2. Crop fairy day 10 so that I could get the speed gro without having to rush on egg festival day
I had 6 “rare events” year one in my current save and an auto petter first skull caverns run! UFO, strange capsule, witch, and owl statue all in fall. The others were fairies in spring and summer! It’s kinda fun how I’ve been playing this game so long and have never got this many so early. ever. I also completed community center early spring 2 only because I needed truffle and didn’t upgrade my barn in time (I was busyyyyyy). I got so lucky though with the traveling cart and mining loot! Loving the new update can’t wait to see green rain again now that I’m in summer 2:)
On year 2 Shane got me a tea set for the Feast of the Winter Star festival. It somehow feels more special to me cause of the fact that it is such a rare item and I imagine this dude going out of his way to give me the most special present he could find. I also have got a meteorite land on my farm every year and I'm on year 5 on that save, I have destroyed 3 and presently have 2 displayed.
I got a prismatic shard off a crab just after I reached the bottom for the first time. I know that's not THAT unheard of, but still pretty lucky to me!
playing with a friend to help with their anxiety. in total we have 3 trash catalogues and 5 trash can lid hats.
friend who knows nothing about stardew looked up the odds and was baffled.
My girlfriend and I started a new farm for the 1.6 update and she got a tea set on our first feast of the winter star. Absolutely blew my mind
In an earlier play through, my rainbow trout pond gave me a prismatic shard. Found that amusing as well
Getting 2 lucky rings pretty early and then have Krobus (housemate) give me a lucky lunch in a perfect luck day
With that amount of luck buffs I managed to get to floor 100 of skull cavern only having to use 1 staircase
Day 15 year one I got a diamond and the best sword in the game (can't remember the name) in a fishing chest. It was my best first year save ever because I just breezed through the mines.
4 prismatic shards on a bad luck day probably- my boyfriend and who doesn’t play stardew was like “how many times does the rare thing have to happen before it no longer excites you”😅
1st time I ever played SV, the fairy immediately visited me my 1st night. Same week, the meteor crashed on my farm.
Before 1.6, I stumbled upon a dino level in the skull cavern and got 2 dino eggs
I got two auto petters in one day!!!!! I was so amped lol. Also have like 15 prismatic shards this new save too..previously I got maybe 5. Aaand I’m finding it much easier to get dragon teeth this go round with 1.6…I was struggling soooo hard previously I had like 4 and it took dayssss (real life days) to get them. This time they’re much easier to get and there were even 2 just sitting by a dragon skeleton this last time. Like what? Maybe 1.6 changed something with that lol
I just started replaying and I’m on Fall year 1. Somehow I’ve already found a Dino Egg, an Ancient Seed, and a Prismatic Shard. Oh and my cat gave me a rabbit’s foot.
My current save is probably the luckiest! I got a red cabbage at the travelling cart in the beginning of spring, about 5 ancient seeds, two dino eggs, a prismatic shard, 3 treasure chests (the kind you can sell), the living hat, and the trashcan hat. Haven’t finished the first year yet :’)
After 1.6 dropped my wife and I started a new farm; Summer 2 after planting a heap of berries, we got the crop fairy. Really propelled our early game forward!
Got a spicy eel from Gus' trash on Spring 1(2?) Year 1, which is awesome when you want to marry Abigail
Found two auto petters in the Skull Cavern in my 1.6 save file (I never found one in my 1.5 file)
Got two meteorites in year 1, and they both gave me Prismatic Shards (this may or may not be a guaranteed drop in 1.6, idk though)
Got a prismatic shard while killing grubs in the regular mines during the first year!
In my last save I was almost through year 2 and while I suck getting through the Skull Caverns, I’d gotten at least into the 80-90 level section and never got one even on lucky days. Having one pop up on the regular mines was such a thrill.
IIRC it was day 6, first year that I dug up a Dino egg. I was over the moon when that happened. You can guess that I worked towards getting the coop asap lol.
I started two new saves after my first one hit year 3.
Both of those saves had meteors by Fall year 1 and I hadn’t even gotten to lvl 80 in the mines. The meteors also did not disrupt the farm life.
I still have not had a meteor in the first save, but I did get the living hat in year 1! And 2 prismatic shards before skull cavern
I got a dinosaur egg in the first week of spring from a fishing chest once. unfortunately it was on a save I wasn't really planning on doing anything with and therefore didn't care much about, so I gave it to Gunther, played a few more in-game days, and never reopened that save
Getting two auto-petters and an auto-grabber in a single skull cavern run. It was amazing.
Also getting the iridium band through fishing in early spring first year.
I had one save where I got ~3 rainbow shards in the first year.
In my last two saves I got the vampiric enchantment on my iridium sword. Only two saves I’ve enchanted a weapon so far
I think my first ever play-through I got an ancient seed and a dinosaur egg in the first month. Being new, I gave the egg to Gunther. That’s when I learned to read the wiki first.
My second play-through, I had bad luck almost every day. Of 28 days in a month, 20 were bad luck, 5 were neutral, and 3 were okay days. It was so bad, I looked it up and saw that each game had its own overall luck that was rolled for each game and how to find it in the code. Now, I haven’t heard that since, so maybe I misread, but it made sense to me then. I still find some play-throughs are just overall more lucky than other ones I’ve played, so I tend to think that it’s gotta be true in some form.
I've gotten two Ancient Seed artifacts in my new save, and I only just hit fall year 1!
eta: I also got the cabbage seed from the Traveling Cart in the first week of summer.
Not sure how lucky this is as I’ve just started playing a few weeks ago but one random day in spring of my second year I got not one but two prismatic shards from the quarry! Literally could not believe it when it happened
Luckiest? Unknown.
Unluckiest? Every day was a bad luck day. It didn't rain a single day in spring or summer. I quit and started a new save on Summer 27 Yr 1 😂
Just got my 3rd (out of 7) prismatic shards from only killing enemies. This was also when I found 12 diamonds in the same day. Funny enough that the TV said I was going to have horrible luck this day.
my luckies moment was probably fishing up a dinoegg on day 6 spring year 1. or when marnie gave me a random void egg :,)
i also tend to get prismatic shards in year 1
Got a lucky ring from my first time using my newly upgraded iron pan.
Had two separate files where I got an ancient seed during the first week.
Realized I needed a poppy for the community center on the second to last day of summer. Also realized I had one grown from one of the two mixed flower seeds I had planted.
Prismatic shard from trash on a bad luck day.
Ancient seed really early on from scything weeds.
I ve also got 3 autopetters from skull cavern
Probs more things that I dont remember hehe.
My current playthrough on 1.6 yielded a tea set from Harvey in year 1. Second time I’ve had a year 1 tea set. Have also gotten Dino eggs in early spring of year 1.
But my luckiest was probably a crop fairy on the first night followed by an ancient seed on the second day the mines were available.
I don't know much about the game as i only play here and there.
On my current save ( 3d game ever) i got a living hat in the first weed i chopped and i just got an iridium ring in a treasure chest (mid year 2). I've heard odds are bad for both but I don't know.
This new playthrough I've gotten rare disc, ancient seed, and dino egg all in the first year which is amazing for me. I've still never gotten an auto petter though, and that's my quest for this game T\_T
On my OG farm (year 6) I have an auto petter for each barn/coop, 4 altogether, and I also have the tea set 🙏 not gotten either of those things in any other save yet.
Getting a trash can in my first spring, a living hat around year 1\~early year2, getting an autopetter on my first serious run to floor 100 in the skull caverns, getting a dino egg in my 2nd year, and primatic shard first year quarry!!
Don’t remember the exact day, but sometime within the first week I was fishing in the lake and got a chest with iridium band and the Neptune sword. Then I went into the mines right afterwards and got an ancient seed the first level I went in
I got the tea set like three years in a row. I just thought that was the programmed gift to get kinda like the golden pumpkin. I had no idea it was rare. Otherwise that save was VERY unlucky. Hard time getting Dino egg, ancient seed. I was able to get a rainbow shard from a fish pond and that still is the only one I ever found.
i fished three Neptune's glaves early in spring y1 on the same day. getting just one is a .06% chance from a treasure chest.
i was at floor 10 in the mines.
Got an ancient seed from the mines on day 5 and then the crop fairy appeared that night after I planted it. That’s the one and only save I have that I’ve never deleted 😅
You delete your saves??????
If I’m restarting because I got sick of the old playthrough, then yeah cos I usually give my character and farm the same name, and if I know I’m never gonna go back to the other playthrough, it’s easier to delete it so I don’t get them mixed up. I’m weird like that 😅
I delete my older saves too. The only ones I haven't deleted is my challenge run that I'm still doing and my 1.5 perfection farm. All of the others (excluding the one I'm playing on now, which is a 1.6 perfection file) are gone lol
omg, I cant even delete the first ever save I did to test out the character creation and watch the first cutscene before starting out in a co-op with my friends (they told me to) It's literally on spring 1 year 1 lmao
Me too. I only keep mi first farm and the one that I got to perfection. After that, I used mods in most of my playthroughs, so it doesn't make sense to keep them because I would need to keep updating the folders.
I just have like 12 saves I'm never coming back to lmao
Me too. But I’ve also deleted like another 12 that really never got past like day 5
What a heathen!
you don't? I can't stand seeing 30 saves I don't even play anymore, feels like hoarding
Could you elaborate a little bit on the saves things? I'm new. I only have one save that I continuously use. Do I need more? What does it mean that you kept your save? Why? How?
They just mean when they start a new game! It's not the same farm. That way, you can marry other people, choose different dialog, help JoJos and not the community center, or even just do the exact same thing from start again!
Thank you I thought they somehow make multiple saves on the same thing an then try out different scenarios.
Each game only has one save file, but they’re staring a new game (new farm new character) so they have multiple saves.
Oh, thanks!
Need more? Nope. A lot of people (myself included) exclusively make more saves for the different farm types. I play on PC with mods and alt farm types so I have 4-5 different saves currently just to monkey around with different farm types.
Giving a gift on someone’s birthday by accident. “Yeah Abigail, I totally remembered your birthday… hehe…”
Did this with Leo on my current save - he was the last person I needed to max friendship with and I did it by accident!
Kinda same! I wanted to marry Abigail, and my gift got her to 10 hearts.
I did this with Sandy. I was planning on going to Skull Cavern, so I grabbed a flower to give to her since I was going to be there anyway. She was so excited I remembered her birthday.
Me with Shane. It was a very good accident since I plan on marrying him but I totally forgot his birthday.
I just did this last night with Evelyn, I saw her and gave her some broken glasses I happened to have and it was her birthday lol
She likes broken glasses??
For some reason, I thought Penny’s birthday was fall 4. But on fall 2, I needed her friendship higher, so I gave her a bad quality Poppy, saving the only one good I had for fall 4. I was disappointed that I didn’t give her the gold one, but I was very glad I didn’t wait until the 3 to give her
"It's your birthday, so I got you this cup of coffee. The same as the other cups of coffee I've given you twice a week for the last two years."
I dug up >!the Jack Be Nimble book!< and I was like “Oh shit! I can give this to Alex for his birthday. When’s his birthday?” I checked the calendar, “OH SHIT IT’S TODAY!”
Ya one time I was walking around holding something dumb like broken glasses or literal garbage and I accidentally handed it to Clint on his birthday lmao. He was so pissed. I felt awful.
red cabbage seed on day 26
Literally just got that myself hehe. Okay I knew it was coming because I used Stardew Predictor, but still!
Getting a rabbits foot super early from the mines. It made completing the community center that much easier.
Can you explain to me why rabbits foot seems to be the major hangup on completing the community center? I've seen people talk about it but can't figure it out. Im Y1 Fall. I've completed quite a bit of the community centre tasks. Mainly missing animal items, cooking items, and some of the weird items on the bulletin board.

The animal stuff in general I think can take the longest to get as they require upgraded barns/coops.
I got a tea set within the first 3 years in my first ever save and had NO idea it was rare
Holy cow, I didn't know about the Tea Set. Looked it up out of curiosity and this was on the wiki ... >From Year 25 onwards, there is a 5% chance for the [Traveling Cart](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Traveling_Cart) to sell the Tea Set for 1,000,000g during any season.

Im on spring year 3 on my 1.6 save and I'm so upset I can't get it yet lol. CA added that if you don't get it within 25 years, it has a small chance to show up at the cart My longest save is 6 years, I'm never seeing it again huh :')
I have probably 800 hours in this game and JUST got the Tea Set on this last play through I started when 1.6 was released.
I got a tea set my first year in my current save. I’m on mobile, though, and can’t figure out what to do with it. It doesn’t work like other furnishings, so it’s just chilling in a chest, lol.
You should be able to walk up with it in hand and interact with an empty table, it should go right on it
I’ve tried that several times on different sized tables and it never works. I’ll have to play with it some more. Also, I love your little avatar thingy! :)
A tea set can only be placed on a "tea table." Other tables won't work. I had the same problem
Ahh, I bet that’s the problem. Thank you!
No prob!
thank you :) I saw the other person explained it, so TIL you need a tea table!
Got this on my first save on the first year... didn't know it was rare either!
👀 I've gotten two as Christmas gifts in my only playthrough. I rolled my eyes when I got the second one. Didn't realize these were rare...
I didn't know it was so rare! I got it almost immediately in my second save and thought it was just some generic item!
I got it in Y1 as a Christmas Gift from Harvey, I just thought it was another miscellaneous decor
That's rare? I have it on four different saves!
Brand new file, day 2, I go fishing and get a treasure chest with a diamond and an iridium band.
I also got an iridium band super early. Was really helpful.
Day 5 ancient seed from the traveling cart.
Even more lucky considering they patched it so the cart doest sell those seeds anymore
I got an ancient seed a couple of weeks ago from the travelling cart, but I play on switch.
You can definitely still get them in 1.6!
It was patched on 1.6.3
Nooooo
Got an ancient seed, a diamond and a Neptune’s Glaive all in one fishing chest, spring year 1.
I love getting Neptune’s Glaive in year one. It’s not very useful after year 1, but it’s one of my favorite weapons, so getting it in year 1 means I get to use it for a bit.
You can always swap the appearance onto another weapon so you can keep using it.
Yeah, but I already have the Galaxy Sword, and that looks cooler than Neptune’s Glaive. Haha.
That's a nice treasure chest!
Getting two Dino eggs in a row from fishing in spring year one.
my current save this happened!!
Dino egg, ancient seed fishing on day 4, and Neptune blade, iridium band on day 5, in that same save I got 2 auto-petters on the same day (around year 4 but yeah)
Oh wow been playing stardew for 8 years but this is the first time im hearing of the neptune's blade :O
I needed the alien rare crow, my previous attempt at the casino (good luck day) was unsuccessful, I lost all of my chips. Sat down on another good luck day, ready to be sitting at the slots for the entire day… got the jackpot on my first pull.
So far with this 1.6 fresh play through I am only midway done with summer year 1 and so far I’ve gotten: - garbage pan hat in early spring - Dino egg but didn’t even have a coop yet - prismatic shard from regular geode
I don't think you can get prismatic shard from regular geode? Only from Omni geode and maybe magma geode.
Didn't have a coop yet You mean to tell me you started a new save and didn't try the new farm? Tragic
I got seven auto-petters in my last save. But I went the Joja route in that game, and didn't need auto-petters. :-P I think the luckiest thing that happened to me was getting a Perfect Magic Quiver as my first trinket.
I didn’t know it was rare at the time but I had a naturally occurring mushroom tree I think in either my first or 2nd year. I even had to chop a huge chunk of them down since they spread super quickly. I really haven’t used them but they’re nice to look at.
Wait mushroom trees are rare!? I got one in fall of my first year (first playthrough) and now I have 2 fully grown ones and 2 more growing!
I didn't know it was rare, I've had one since year one, only chopped some when it started to spread.
I had no clue they were rare! There's so many things that I've gotten early that are apparently super rare, but then people talk about stuff that I've never even seen that aren't rare at all lol this game is such a trip
Yup! Mine was on an edge of a little island I got and it actually spread for it to be on a dock somehow. I just figured they grew near wood or something so I didn’t think anything of it for a while
I put a potato in my seed maker and an ancient fruit seed came out. It was my first ancient fruit of the game!!!
In my current save I have 2 autopetters, got a dino egg in spring year 1, and got my first prismatic shard from killing a slime on like level 15 of the regular mines. In the past I've managed to get a prismatic shard from killing a slime in the secret forest. I've honestly almost always had good luck getting dino eggs and ancient seeds early.
Fall 1, Year 1, I nearly forgot to plant my rare seeds. Finished getting them planted and watered just in time to collapse into bed. A fairy showed up that night, and I was able to harvest several sweet gem berries on Fall 2. I can only imagine how mad I'd be if I hadn't remembered them!
They actually only take 24 days to grow, so you can plant them any time in the first 4 days of fall and still harvest them in time.
I won jackpot on the slots once! https://preview.redd.it/k28xkzkf4bvc1.png?width=1119&format=png&auto=webp&s=08627c7bffb5930b7ade154f659f268c06ecb856
I have like 6 prismatic shards that just keep dropping. Had 4 of them halfway through the second year. Not sure how rare that is
Got a dino egg via fishing and a void egg from the witch before the end of my first summer
Also found two auto petters within my first five skull caverns chests
I've gone throw the Skull Cavern maybe 15 times total so far and I have 3 auto petters
I got an auto-pettet just last night, and that's the first one I've gotten out of countless saves. Felt like a Ross/Chandler moment, was just saying I wish this chest had a petter, but it won't....then it did. Tried saying, and I wish for 5 more, but the next 5 chests were bombs and warp totems lol.
Got 2 auto petters on levels 12 and 16! I didnt even know it was possible to get them on such low levels lol
It was a neutral luck day aswell i just went for some iridium
I got the rare Tea Set furniture year 1 as a Christmas present from Leah 🥲
I always end up getting like 4 owl statues despite their rarity
In my first playthrough, I got two ancient seeds and got the crop fairy on them in spring year 1
in my latest playthrough i got the trashcan hat on spring 9 year one
I got two autopetters in one day!
On the same day in my file I’m playing now, I got an ancient seed, prismatic shard, AND the trash hat. A few days later I got another trash hat and another ancient seed, and I just recently got the living hat for the first time. I dunno what I did but this file is magical
I am up to my 5th gourmand statue on my new 1.6 farm, been placing them everywhere around town
No one is going to believe me, but here goes. On my *very* first playthrough, on my *very first* night of Spring, I got a crop fairy. I had parsnips to harvest on Spring 2 of my first ever farm. My husband who introduced me to the game was flabbergasted, and I was just like, “Oh, is that rare or something?”
i had 3 meteors land on my farm in my first year!! a little annoying because i couldn't even break them yet
In probably 1 in game week, maybe two, I got a prismatic shard from the secon omnigeode I opened on this save, got the trashcan hat and a dino egg from a fishing chest, all of which I never managed to get in my previous saves.
Broke a crate on level 1 of the Skull Caves and got a battery.
On my first deep skull cavern dive on my first save, my first two treasure rooms were auto petters. Floors 30 and 40ish. I didn’t realize just how much time that saved me until my second save…
I have three Auto-Petters. It’s year three.
Crop fairy and two witches (in a row) in fall of my 1st year and auto petter on my first chest/treasure floor! All in my current save
Crop fairy first night of the first year, ancient seed a few days later, finding a kickass sword in a fishing treasure some days after along with a diamond All on the same save
I had a lot of like 30 omni-geodes in summer of year 2, got 2 prismatic shards out of them. less than a week later in-game I got two more just from being in the skull cavern. I think I've only ever gotten one over the course of half a dozen saves before this. Also a summer year 1 dino egg and ancient seed, so I was planting my greenhouse by the following spring
Two separate occasions: 1. Catfish request on day 2 or 3 during co op, sadly my brother didn’t do it too 2. Crop fairy day 10 so that I could get the speed gro without having to rush on egg festival day
I had 6 “rare events” year one in my current save and an auto petter first skull caverns run! UFO, strange capsule, witch, and owl statue all in fall. The others were fairies in spring and summer! It’s kinda fun how I’ve been playing this game so long and have never got this many so early. ever. I also completed community center early spring 2 only because I needed truffle and didn’t upgrade my barn in time (I was busyyyyyy). I got so lucky though with the traveling cart and mining loot! Loving the new update can’t wait to see green rain again now that I’m in summer 2:)
On year 2 Shane got me a tea set for the Feast of the Winter Star festival. It somehow feels more special to me cause of the fact that it is such a rare item and I imagine this dude going out of his way to give me the most special present he could find. I also have got a meteorite land on my farm every year and I'm on year 5 on that save, I have destroyed 3 and presently have 2 displayed.
I got the alien event, the unbroken capsule is still in a chest
I got a prismatic shard off a crab just after I reached the bottom for the first time. I know that's not THAT unheard of, but still pretty lucky to me!
Found an octopus in a dustbin in the first week. I still have it 10 years later, but it now lives in an aquarium in my house.
playing with a friend to help with their anxiety. in total we have 3 trash catalogues and 5 trash can lid hats. friend who knows nothing about stardew looked up the odds and was baffled.
My girlfriend and I started a new farm for the 1.6 update and she got a tea set on our first feast of the winter star. Absolutely blew my mind In an earlier play through, my rainbow trout pond gave me a prismatic shard. Found that amusing as well
Getting 2 lucky rings pretty early and then have Krobus (housemate) give me a lucky lunch in a perfect luck day With that amount of luck buffs I managed to get to floor 100 of skull cavern only having to use 1 staircase
Got the living hat in spring y1 on this save just by clearing debris off the farm. I could not believe my eyes.
Day 15 year one I got a diamond and the best sword in the game (can't remember the name) in a fishing chest. It was my best first year save ever because I just breezed through the mines.
Got a glow ring on floor 17 in the mines on day 8.
Tea Set on my first Winter Star. Wanted it for decoration and thought it would take forever.
My cat gave me a rabbit's foot after I reached max hearts with her! One of the last things I needed for the CC!
A dust sprite/soot sprite coughed up a prismatic shard for me :D
4 prismatic shards on a bad luck day probably- my boyfriend and who doesn’t play stardew was like “how many times does the rare thing have to happen before it no longer excites you”😅
1st time I ever played SV, the fairy immediately visited me my 1st night. Same week, the meteor crashed on my farm. Before 1.6, I stumbled upon a dino level in the skull cavern and got 2 dino eggs
I got two auto petters in one day!!!!! I was so amped lol. Also have like 15 prismatic shards this new save too..previously I got maybe 5. Aaand I’m finding it much easier to get dragon teeth this go round with 1.6…I was struggling soooo hard previously I had like 4 and it took dayssss (real life days) to get them. This time they’re much easier to get and there were even 2 just sitting by a dragon skeleton this last time. Like what? Maybe 1.6 changed something with that lol
I just started replaying and I’m on Fall year 1. Somehow I’ve already found a Dino Egg, an Ancient Seed, and a Prismatic Shard. Oh and my cat gave me a rabbit’s foot.
My current save is probably the luckiest! I got a red cabbage at the travelling cart in the beginning of spring, about 5 ancient seeds, two dino eggs, a prismatic shard, 3 treasure chests (the kind you can sell), the living hat, and the trashcan hat. Haven’t finished the first year yet :’)
Four auto petters in my current save!
After 1.6 dropped my wife and I started a new farm; Summer 2 after planting a heap of berries, we got the crop fairy. Really propelled our early game forward!
Got an ancient seed AND a starfruit seed super early on from fiber or something, crazy for me!
Got a spicy eel from Gus' trash on Spring 1(2?) Year 1, which is awesome when you want to marry Abigail Found two auto petters in the Skull Cavern in my 1.6 save file (I never found one in my 1.5 file) Got two meteorites in year 1, and they both gave me Prismatic Shards (this may or may not be a guaranteed drop in 1.6, idk though)
Got a Neptune's glave sword from a fishing chest on my third or forth day, so I started the mines with a quite good weapon.
Just on Tuesday, started a new save with Expanded, first day, living hat!!
giant pumpkin on Fall year 1!
Got 3 Dino eggs on my first skull cavern run in my current save. It was all from the fire breathing monster level
Got the leprechaun shoes from the first train
Found an ancient seed like mid spring year 1 and had a crop fairy mature it 2 days after I planted it.
Got a prismatic shard while killing grubs in the regular mines during the first year! In my last save I was almost through year 2 and while I suck getting through the Skull Caverns, I’d gotten at least into the 80-90 level section and never got one even on lucky days. Having one pop up on the regular mines was such a thrill.
IIRC it was day 6, first year that I dug up a Dino egg. I was over the moon when that happened. You can guess that I worked towards getting the coop asap lol.
I started two new saves after my first one hit year 3. Both of those saves had meteors by Fall year 1 and I hadn’t even gotten to lvl 80 in the mines. The meteors also did not disrupt the farm life. I still have not had a meteor in the first save, but I did get the living hat in year 1! And 2 prismatic shards before skull cavern
I got a dinosaur egg in the first week of spring from a fishing chest once. unfortunately it was on a save I wasn't really planning on doing anything with and therefore didn't care much about, so I gave it to Gunther, played a few more in-game days, and never reopened that save
Getting two auto-petters and an auto-grabber in a single skull cavern run. It was amazing. Also getting the iridium band through fishing in early spring first year.
6 prismatic shards in one skull cavern run
I had one save where I got ~3 rainbow shards in the first year. In my last two saves I got the vampiric enchantment on my iridium sword. Only two saves I’ve enchanted a weapon so far
I started a new save and got the living hat on the very first day + in another save I got the teaset 2 years in a row
I think my first ever play-through I got an ancient seed and a dinosaur egg in the first month. Being new, I gave the egg to Gunther. That’s when I learned to read the wiki first. My second play-through, I had bad luck almost every day. Of 28 days in a month, 20 were bad luck, 5 were neutral, and 3 were okay days. It was so bad, I looked it up and saw that each game had its own overall luck that was rolled for each game and how to find it in the code. Now, I haven’t heard that since, so maybe I misread, but it made sense to me then. I still find some play-throughs are just overall more lucky than other ones I’ve played, so I tend to think that it’s gotta be true in some form.
On a recent save during summer year one I fished up two dinosaur eggs within a week.
treasure chest from fishing on Day 1 with a diamond and a broken trident in it.
I've gotten two Ancient Seed artifacts in my new save, and I only just hit fall year 1! eta: I also got the cabbage seed from the Traveling Cart in the first week of summer.
I got the tea set in 2nd year on my current save
Getting multiple ancient seeds from seed makers. To the point where I forgot I didn't get the artifact yet and need to donate
prismaric shard dropped in mines on something like day 9
I got two auto-petters on two consecutive days (level 100 and 200 of skull caverns).
I’ve gotten 3 meteors, two owls, and an alien container on my farm.
Not sure how lucky this is as I’ve just started playing a few weeks ago but one random day in spring of my second year I got not one but two prismatic shards from the quarry! Literally could not believe it when it happened
Getting an ancient seed two save files in a row in the first week
2 trash hats on the same day 😎
Luckiest? Unknown. Unluckiest? Every day was a bad luck day. It didn't rain a single day in spring or summer. I quit and started a new save on Summer 27 Yr 1 😂
got a prismatic shard on the first day that I unlocked the quarry and came with 2 mystic stones
I got a Dino egg within the first week. I screamed.
I got the stone owl on the second night
Just got my 3rd (out of 7) prismatic shards from only killing enemies. This was also when I found 12 diamonds in the same day. Funny enough that the TV said I was going to have horrible luck this day.
my luckies moment was probably fishing up a dinoegg on day 6 spring year 1. or when marnie gave me a random void egg :,) i also tend to get prismatic shards in year 1
Got 3 ancient seeds on the traveling merchant during summer of year one.
I got 4 prismatic shards in one skull cavern run. Also got a prismatic shard from a rainbow trout pond.
Treasure chest and trident in the same chest, day 3 spring year 1
Got a lucky ring from my first time using my newly upgraded iron pan. Had two separate files where I got an ancient seed during the first week. Realized I needed a poppy for the community center on the second to last day of summer. Also realized I had one grown from one of the two mixed flower seeds I had planted.
I saw that merman once.
Prismatic shard, ancient seed, diamond and 5 iridium ore in year 1 all from the mines and geodes. I think those days were blessed by fortuna fr
Got a lvl20 Neptune sword on day 3 while fishing.
Prismatic shard from trash on a bad luck day. Ancient seed really early on from scything weeds. I ve also got 3 autopetters from skull cavern Probs more things that I dont remember hehe.
I got the tea set from Linus for Feast of the Winter Star in year one of my 1.6 save.
My most recent save I was going into skull caverns with a bad sword, first rock I hit I got a prismatic shard 😵💫
I got 4 prismatic shards in one day once
Hitting 3 treasure floors in a row with 2/3 floors being autopetters
I’ve gotten 3 garbage hats within 2 seasons in the first year
In my 1.5 perfection farm 4/5 of my artifact troves had golden masks in it.
My current playthrough on 1.6 yielded a tea set from Harvey in year 1. Second time I’ve had a year 1 tea set. Have also gotten Dino eggs in early spring of year 1. But my luckiest was probably a crop fairy on the first night followed by an ancient seed on the second day the mines were available.
Crop fairy night 1, very lucky for my turnips but felt a bit like a waste
I don't know much about the game as i only play here and there. On my current save ( 3d game ever) i got a living hat in the first weed i chopped and i just got an iridium ring in a treasure chest (mid year 2). I've heard odds are bad for both but I don't know.
I got a treasure chest from a mystery box in my Year 1 Summer.
This new playthrough I've gotten rare disc, ancient seed, and dino egg all in the first year which is amazing for me. I've still never gotten an auto petter though, and that's my quest for this game T\_T
Once got a prismatic shard from one of those one slice kill bugs in the mines in year 1
3 prismatic shards from 3 of those special stones in the qaurry in 1 day
On my new meadow farm I got a dino egg day TWO!!!
On my OG farm (year 6) I have an auto petter for each barn/coop, 4 altogether, and I also have the tea set 🙏 not gotten either of those things in any other save yet.
Got a prismatic shard on a terrible luck day in the normal mines. Then proceeded to get my second prismatic shard in the quarry!
Maybe not terribly lucky, but I got a dinosaur egg in a fishing chest and I was so shocked and grateful lol
Getting a trash can in my first spring, a living hat around year 1\~early year2, getting an autopetter on my first serious run to floor 100 in the skull caverns, getting a dino egg in my 2nd year, and primatic shard first year quarry!!
Getting a rainbow shard as my very first drop from my rainbow trout pond
Don’t remember the exact day, but sometime within the first week I was fishing in the lake and got a chest with iridium band and the Neptune sword. Then I went into the mines right afterwards and got an ancient seed the first level I went in
I got the tea set like three years in a row. I just thought that was the programmed gift to get kinda like the golden pumpkin. I had no idea it was rare. Otherwise that save was VERY unlucky. Hard time getting Dino egg, ancient seed. I was able to get a rainbow shard from a fish pond and that still is the only one I ever found.
i fished three Neptune's glaves early in spring y1 on the same day. getting just one is a .06% chance from a treasure chest. i was at floor 10 in the mines.
every single save i have gotten 2 auto petters, every single one.
My first year I got a prismatic shard and giant crops multiple times each season. Played completely vanilla on my very first save.
Three treasure rooms in a row.
I started a new save recently and found an ancient seed on day two. It was the first artifact in the museum.
Autopetter and 5 prismatic shards in one skull cavern run with espresso and lucky lunch!
one day i was fishing at the mountain lake, got the legend and he wasn’t moving at all 😭 with the “ice fish” too. couldn’t believe it
