A Stardew Valley player achieved a remarkable feat: earning over ten million gold without ever leaving their farm. While the game's charm lies in Pelican Town's NPCs, the core gameplay focuses on farming. This player cleverly exploited the game mechanics to achieve this impressive sum.
The key? Mixed Seeds. These seeds, obtainable by tilling soil or harvesting weeds, yield different crops depending on the season. This is detailed in the table below:
Crops From Mixed Seeds in Stardew Valley
| Season | Crops |
|---|---|
| Spring | Cauliflower, Parsnip, Potato |
| Summer | Corn, Pepper, Radish, Wheat |
| Fall | Artichoke, Corn, Eggplant, Pumpkin |
| Winter | Any (Greenhouse and Garden Pot only) |
| Island | Blueberry, Melon, Pineapple, Rhubarb |
The strategy's efficiency significantly increases after crafting a Seed Maker (requires Farming level 9 and a gold bar). This machine multiplies seeds, occasionally producing lucrative Ancient Seeds. These seeds, while taking 28 days to mature into Ancient Fruit, are a major income source.
The player chose the Four Corners farm map for its abundant Mixed Seeds and convenient mining area, allowing for gold bar acquisition. The entire process spanned nine in-game years and 25 hours of real-time play, a testament to dedication and strategic farming. While it doesn't unlock achievements, it's a noteworthy accomplishment for seasoned Stardew Valley players.
