Stardew Valley players have a lot of opportunities to make themselves money in the game, so figuring out how best to maximize earnings with the limited time provided can be a game itself. In the latest display of this player income creativity, one Stardew Valley player showed off a basement filled with nearly 200 barrels of Ancient Fruit Wine.
Stardew Valley was released in 2016 and offers players the chance to take on a variety of different tasks such as mining, farming, and trading. As players progress through the game, they open up more and more options for earning themselves gold. A popular way to make money in Stardew Valley is through creating casks or barrels with wood and hardwood and fermenting food items with them.
This impressive sight shared by u/NonchalantWombat is a perfect example of a Stardew Valley player focusing on profit margins in their playthrough. In the post, this player shows off their basement in their fully upgraded farmhouse with 189 casks actively fermenting. According to u/NonchalantWombat, each one of these casks is filled with Ancient Fruit Wine, one of the highest valued items in the game. There isn’t a single open space available in this basement, and the result of this hard work is going to be an astronomical amount of in-game money. After 56 days, this player will be able to collect 873,180 gold from the sale of all this Ancient Fruit Wine.
The key thing in this post is that each one of these bottles of Ancient Fruit Wine is going to be Iridium quality, the hardest quality to achieve in Stardew Valley, explaining why they can each be sold for 4620 gold. Though fermenting can take a long time in Stardew Valley, the results speak for themselves in value. Unfortunately, getting to this point in the game takes quite a long time, especially considering that players need to have upgraded their farmhouse multiple times before being able to have a basement.
What this post shows is that part of the fun of Stardew Valley is figuring out new ways to approach it. Whether this means playing in support of the Joja Corporation or with one of the more common challenges Stardew Valley players have created, it all aids in bolstering replayability. Then again, following the traditional quests can be more than rewarding, especially for new Stardew Valley players. Either way, this Reddit post is an impressive showing of dedication from an experienced Stardew Valley fan.
Stardew Valley is available on Android, iOS, PC, PS4, PS Vita, Switch, and Xbox One.
