When you begin a new game you have a bunch of character customization options that mostly don't affect game play, so I won't mention them here. Year Two Guide is now live! Find it here: Part 4 covering Winter can be found here: Part 2 covering Summer can be found here: Note: All images in this guide were taken from the Stardew Valley Wiki: My principle goal of this guide is to help players achieve as much as possible in the game as quickly and efficiently as possible, under the assumption that the reader's principle goal in the game is to achieve the best possible rating on evaluation day (the first day of Year 3).Ĭonstructive feedback is welcome, and if there's something you feel I should be covering that I didn't, or if there's something that I got wrong, please let me know.

Keep in mind that there is no one way to play Stardew Valley, so this guide isn't meant to be a rigid 'you must do this' guide, but rather has suggestions for optimizing game play for most players, regardless of your play style.

You will definitely need to make more than one game/character if you plan to unlock all of the achievements available as some of them are conflicting and you cannot get them all in a single game file/playthrough. I decided to put this guide together mostly to help new players, but also to serve as a resource for seasoned players who can use the information when starting new characters.
