Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer who went to the mines ended up learning a very painful lesson to not bring more than they need with them. The player shared their misfortune with otherStardew Valleyfans who were quick to share both advice and sympathy.
Stardew Valleyisn’t a hugely punishing game, but there are mistakes that can be made that can significantly impact a player’s playthrough. For example, if aStardew Valleyfarmer passes outfrom not making it to bed before 2 am, their farmer will lose energy and may end up paying a fee the next day. However, one fate potentially far worse than this is being defeated in the mines, which sees players losing a chunk of their inventory.
Such is the case for Reddit user Academic-Okra9016, who shared their results from having been defeated in the mines. Their character can be seen recovering in DrHarvey’s office, with a screen indicating how many items they’ve lost. Unfortunately, most of what they lost was extremely valuable and/or was in large stacks. In all, they lost an Auto-Petter, Iron Ore, over 100 Life Elixirs, over 500 Triple Shot Espressos, and over 200 Hay. The game estimates the value lost at just under 293,000 gold, but therarity of the Auto-Pettermakes the loss all the more painful.
Stardew Valley Player Learns Harsh Lesson
FellowStardew Valleyfans were sympathetic, but also chided the player for their choices. As many pointed out, it’s never a good idea to enter the mines with more than absolutely necessary due to the risk of losing gear like this. Bringing things likeTriple Shot EspressoandLife Elixirmakes sense, as one provides a speed boost and the other a significant health recovery. However, there’s no real reason to go into the mines carrying hundreds of them. Some questioned why the player would enter the mines withHayat all, considering there’s no use for it there.
There is one bit of hope for the player in that they can recover one of these items.Marlon, who can be found at the Adventurer’s Guild, offers a service toretrieve items lost while delving inStardew Valley’s mines. However, he can only bring back one, and the rest will remain forevermore lost. Most players would recommend bringing back the Auto-Petter, as they’re extremely rare drops in the game unless one follows the Joja Route. Some players find Auto-Petters in the mines, so it’s possible it was a random drop for this fan.
Players also suggested that the fan simply restart the day to prevent these losses, which is a valid choice. However, if they did find theAuto-Petteron this trip through the mine, it might be better to deal with the loss of inventory items just to get the Auto-Petter. Having one can dramatically speed up routines around farms with animals, as players don’t have to interact with their animals daily to improve their happiness. The player hasn’t reported back on what they ended up doing, but hopefully they found a solution that main this loss as painless as possible.
