omni geodes?

[Lunaza]

I swear you used to be able to buy an infinite amount of omni geodes on wednesday. It took me 2400 to get one prismatic shard. Buying 3 at a time seems crazy. is there another way to buy in the hundreds?

[Willow Rivers]

Considering there is now more ways to get them than before:

The Mines (floor 21+)
The Skull Cavern (all floors)
Carbon Ghost drop (99% chance)
Haunted Skull drop (only if the Vault Bundle is not complete)
Crane Game in the Movie Theater lobby, during any season
Panning
Three can be purchased from the Oasis on Wednesdays for Gold.png1,000g each
One can be purchased from Krobus' shop on Tuesdays for Gold.png300g
Five Omni Geodes are the reward for completing the Bundle Purple.png Geologist's Bundle in the Boiler Room
1, 3, or 10 Omni Geodes can be produced by an Octopus Fish Pond when the population reaches 9.
Omni Geode Nodes in Volcano Dungeon.
Artifact Spots on Ginger Island
2-4 Omni Geodes may occasionally be found in Supply Crates on the Beach Farm if the player upgraded the Farmhouse at least once.

There is no way to mass purchase them anymore.

That really sucks. how am I supposed to get 2400? stupid prismatic shard :(
If I'd known about the update I'd have bought up the geodes asap
thank you for letting me know, I was worried I'd imagined buying infinite geodes

You should setiously consider running the skull mine instead of relying on omnigeodes....

I know, but I am so clumsy. I can't get far quickly. Playing with one hand is very hard lol. I'd much rather spend my hard earned farming moneys than go risking things in what I call The Stress Hole ( the skull mines)

There is a mod that adds a elevator to the skull cavern like the normal mine.

Oooh, interesting! I avoided mods because I don't want to cheat an achievement but there isn't one for the skull cavern. Definitely would help. I never modded the game before, is it difficult?

Something you can do if you dont mind starting a new world is find a seed that gets you one early in the geodes. The geode rewards are basically set in a specific order on every seed. I saw a long while back someone shared a seed where they got a prismatic on like their tenth omni geode

Not really, you'll need to got to nexus, and pick up smapi to use mods at all, only issue I've found with it right now is that newest version of smapi doesn't work with some mods so you may need to pick up an older one, 3.16.2 has been working well for me. I've not tried the elevator mod so am unsure if it has problems with the 3.17.x release. After it's installed you just drop mod the files into the new mod folder in your stardew directory

You might also consider blades map predictor to assist in mines if doing things quickly is a problem. This is a standalone app also on nexus that can look at your game file and remove much of the randomness from the game, I suggest it because it can allow you to pinpoint rocks that likely have ladders while paused in game and if doing things quickly is a challenge this might simplify that...though it does add a new sort of tedium to the mines.

i'm into year 3 of my new start, so not an option, thanks though.

Thank you for all the tips! I'll look into SMAPI. Hope my old computer can handle it all lol
I'm mostly looking for mods that will counteract my disability making me a bit bad at gaming. so combat, minigames etc. Anything with time limits tbh.
