In Stardew Valley, the Giant Stump Quest is a v1.6-exclusive mission that brings Raccoon and his family to the Pelican Town. During this objective, you first create a treehouse near Marnie’s ranch in hopes of attracting new neighbors. Later, you meet a lovely Raccoon who wants to get married and grow his kits in the repurposed tree stump. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you complete the Giant Stump Quest and unlock all its rewards quickly.
Stardew Valley: SquidFest Mini-Festival Guide
Find out the key details about SquidFest, a two-day mini-festival added in Stardew Valley’s Update 1.6.
How to Start the Giant Stump Quest
The Giant Stump is located to the left of Marnie’s Ranch, near the Cindersap Forest. However, it only spawns after the Windstorm Event. On a random night, you may hear a tree falling over. If you visit Marnie’s Ranch the next morning, you will encounter the new Giant Tree Stump.
There is nothing you can do to trigger the Giant Stump Quest. After updating the game to v1.6, all you need to do is wait for the event. (Although it happens on a random night, the Giant Stump Quest is not a rare Random Event and is given to all players sooner or later.)
How to Complete the Giant Stump Quest
After the Windstorm Event, interact with the giant tree near the Cindersap Forest. (Look for an oddly big stump with a question mark on it.) This will give you a new task to turn the fallen tree into something interesting. To complete the objective, collect 100 pieces of Hardwood.
Once you have 100 pieces of Hardwood, bring them back to the stump and select yes when the game asks if you want to repair it. Now that you have turned the stump into a tiny house give it some time so that Pelican Town’s new neighbors can move in.
The next morning, you will see the Raccoon hanging around the treehouse.
How to Complete Raccoon Bundles
In Stardew Valley 1.6,Raccoon presents you with new bundles to complete. Each bundle consists of two requests, primarily for Artisan products. Each morning, talk to Raccoon to view his requests and fulfill them, similar to a Community Center bundle. (Gather or craft the requested items and return them to him.)
Since Raccoon is interested in dried and smoked items , it’s advisable to craft a Fish Smoker and Dehydrator before attempting his requests. Without these machines, you won’t be able to produce some of the requested goods.
Raccoon Bundle Rewards
While Raccoon’s requests and rewards are RNG-based, the following rewards are guaranteed:
- The Raccoon Journal
- The Raccoon Hat
- Stardrop Tea
- Fairy Dust
- Jungle Tank
Raccoon Shop Inventory
After completing Raccoon’s first bundle, he will marry another Raccoon, which opens up a new store. The Wife Raccoon trades all the new crop seeds, including Carrot, Summer Squash, Broccoli, and Powdermelon. Additionally, she offers items such as Fairy Dust, Raccoon Journal, Raccoon Hat, Mixed Seeds, and Jungle Tank.
The Wife Raccoon won’t accept money, and the only way to buy her goods is by exchanging items. She is interested in seeds, trash, and syrups.
How to Get the Good Neighbors Achievement
To unlock the Good Neighbors achievement/trophy in Stardew Valley, you need to complete eight Raccoon bundles. This achievement was added in the 1.6 Update and entails assisting Raccoon in getting married and expanding his family with seven kits.
