Quests are an exciting and integral part of the farming game, Stardew Valley. They offer players a sense of purpose beyond the daily grind on the farm. Among the first quests players encounter when they start the game is the “Introductions Quest”.

Stardew Valley requires new players to introduce themselves around the Valley, as the residents are eager to meet the new farmer. To successfully complete this quest, players need to greet 28 villagers. On completing this quest, players are rewarded with 100 Friendship Points for every NPC they meet. These friendship points unlock unique Heart Events for every villager.
