Fish Whenever You Can

---

Fishing is one of the best ways to get a lot of extra income, especially when you're just getting started and don't have a lot of resources yet. All that's required is patience, good reflexes, and a fishing rod---which you can obtain for free from Willy early in the game.

Fishing in Stardew Valley is all about spending in-game time, especially since the energy cost of fishing is relatively low. Your character can stay up until 2 a.m., so try to max out the time you spend fishing at the end of the day. During your first few in-game weeks, after you complete your daily tasks, such as foraging and farm work, spend the rest of your time fishing.

You should also fish a lot whenever it's raining. The fish you can catch then are entirely different from what you get when it's sunny---plus, they typically sell for a higher price. Take advantage of the time you save from not having to water your crops.

Rarer, more valuable fish appear whenever you're farther away from the land. While maxing out your fishing pole consumes more energy, it might be worth it if you only have a limited time to fish. Keep an eye out for bubbles, which appear randomly in various bodies of water. Casting your pole in these spots makes fish bite significantly faster.

When you have the cash for it, upgrade your pole. You should be able to buy the Fiberglass Pole within the first few weeks. This allows you to use bait to increase your bite rate. Later, you'll be able to buy the Iridium Pole, which allows you to use tackles that have different special effects on your fishing.

Unlock the Bridge on the Beach

---

Another great way to make money early in the game is by having Robin build the bridge on the beach. To unlock it, you need to collect 300 wood from cutting down branches and trees. With the 300 wood in your inventory, approach the broken bridge on the east side of the beach.

Once the construction is complete, you can access the tidal pool area. You can find a ton of unique items to forage here daily, such as Corals and the valuable Sea Urchins. These are a great way to easily supplement your income early on, as they're relatively consistent. Plus, you don't have to save them for future recipes.

The tidal pool area is filled with forageable items after a storm. Make sure you collect them before they refresh the following day. During the summer, you'll likely find Rainbow Shells here, which can be worth up to 600g.

Plant a Lot of Berries

---

If you prefer straightforward farming, planting a ton of berries every season is a good bet. All berry plants produce multiple crops per harvest and grow back several days after harvesting. They also don't have to be turned into jams or wines to become highly profitable.

There's a unique berry for each season: strawberries for spring, blueberries for summer, and cranberries for fall. While strawberry seeds are hard to obtain in your first season, maximize the opportunity during summer and fall to plant as many berries as you can on the first day.

Since a single berry plot has multiple harvests per season, make sure you start growing them as early as possible. If you plant them late, you might lose out on one or more harvest cycles. Don't forget to add fertilizer or Speed-Gro right when you plant---you can't add anything to the soil once the crop has already grown.

Like all crops, it takes a lot of energy to tend to these. You should try to upgrade your watering can and build sprinklers as soon as you can.

Start Making Sprinklers

---

Early in the game, you'll find yourself trying to maximize the number of activities you can do in a day. However, you'll be limited by two things: time and energy. While you can eat food to replenish your energy, there's nothing you can do to recover lost time.

Sprinklers automatically water your crops, so you can spend less time and energy doing that daily. This gives you more time to do other money-making tasks, like fishing and mining. It also allows you to maintain more crops simultaneously, giving you a more significant profit per harvest.

There are three types of sprinklers in Stardew Valley:

• Sprinklers: These can water four adjacent tiles.
  
• Quality Sprinklers: These can water eight adjacent tiles.
  
• Iridium Sprinklers: These can water 24 adjacent tiles.

The basic version of a sprinkler is very inefficient, so we recommend you produce Quality Sprinklers when you unlock the recipe instead. To make a Quality Sprinkler, you need to have a level 6 farming skill, as well as an iron and gold bar, and refined quartz.

Improve Your Skills

---

As you progress in Stardew Valley, your skill levels will increase. When you reach level 5 or 10 in a skill, you select a profession, which is an ability that will grant you special bonuses.

Some professions will raise the shipping price of certain groups of items. For example, when your farming skill reaches level 5, you can decide to be a rancher or a tiller. Ranchers can sell animal products for 20 percent more than their base price, while tillers can sell crops for an additional 10 percent. There are also similar bonuses for raising your levels in mining and fishing.

Use Tappers for Kegs and Other Machinery

---

Tappers are small objects placed on trees to produce various products, including Maple Syrup, Oak Resin, and Pine Tar. While these items are not that profitable on their own, they're necessary for making Kegs (Oak Resin) and other machines. Kegs help make Wine and Juice, which are some of the most profitable items in the game. They are also needed to make Mead, two profitable artisan goods that you can make without growing crops.

Unfortunately, building a substantial number of Kegs can be annoying because Oak Resin can be hard to farm. While wood, stone, and other basic resources are farmed all the time, tapping trees is not as immediately obvious, especially for newer players. By ensuring enough Tappers are made and used early on, farmers can build up quite the supply and build Kegs to their heart's content.

Additionally, Maple Syrup can be used to make Bee Houses, and Pine Tar can be used to craft Looms, both of which can also make more artisan goods for a decent chunk of change.

Use Bee Houses (and Make Flower Honey)

---

Honey isn't the most profitable item in the game, but it's pretty decent, and it takes basically no effort to make. Simply craft some Bee Houses and set them somewhere. They'll generate Honey over time passively. A Bee House can be made from 40 Wood, 8 Coal, an Iron Bar, and a Maple Syrup starting at Farming Level 3.

Though this guide is about money-making methods other than growing crops, it's extremely profitable to plant a single flower near the Bee Houses. If the flower is grown when the Honey is harvested, it'll flavor the Honey, increasing its profit. Honey on its own sells for 100g, but Fairy Rose Honey (the most profitable) jumps up to a tidy 680g. With the Artisan Profession, that increases to 952g!

Make Caviar

---

One of the newer features introduced into Stardew Valley is Fish Ponds. This allows players to keep their choice of fish in a controlled environment and gather Roe from them. Roe can then be placed into Preserves Jars, which turn it into Aged Roe. This artisan good is decently profitable on its own, but the big bucks come from making Caviar.

This expensive artisan good is made the same way as Aged Roe, by placing Roe into a Preserves Jar. However, only Sturgeon Roe will turn into Caviar. Stocking a Fish Pond with Sturgeon will produce a steady supply of their Roe, which, when turned into Caviar, will net a tidy 500g without the Artisan Profession, and 700g with it.

Put Gems in Crystalariums

---

Crystaliariums are a machine built from 99 Stone, 5 Gold Bars, 2 Iridium Bars, and a Battery Pack. The recipe unlocks at Mining Level 9.

These machines duplicate any gem placed inside indefinitely (the time taken is based on the gem chosen). With this process, players can endlessly reproduce gems and sell them for a hefty profit.

One of the best choices is Diamonds, which sell for 750g, though they do take five whole days to duplicate in a Crystalarium. However, they sell for 975g with the Gemologist Profession, making them one of the most expensive items in the game.

Unfortunately, Prismatic Shards cannot be placed into a Crystalarium.

Make Artisan Goods

---

Speaking of the Artisan Profession, artisan goods are extremely, extremely profitable. Almost all of them seriously boost the sell price from a product's base selling price. While many crops can be turned into artisan goods, animal products and other items should not be ignored, either.

It can be difficult to process every single thing into artisan goods, because that takes a lot of machines. But, it is recommended to turn as many Eggs, batches of Milk, Truffles, and other processable goods into artisan goods, as they'll be much more profitable.

Artisan goods that aren't made from crops are listed here:

Age Wine in Casks

---

Wine is already one of the most profitable things to make in the entire game. However, it's a wise idea to throw a bunch of it in Casks to age up and sell for even more.

Casks can only be placed in the Farmhouse basement, which is the final upgrade available from Robin's Carpenter Shop. Casks are used to raise the quality of some artisan goods, including Cheese, Goat Cheese, Wine, Mead, Pale Ale, and Beer. Each of these goods takes a different amount of time to rise in quality, with Wine, unfortunately, being the longest at 56 days to reach Iridium quality. However, Iridium-quality Wine sells double what it would with no quality star.

For those looking to really avoid growing crops for profit, it's also extremely worthwhile to place Cheese and Goat Cheese in Casks before selling it. While Ancient Fruit Wine and Starfruit Wine have the highest gold-per-day ratio from Casks, Cheese and Goat Cheese are the next to follow. The time taken is shorter, too. Both types of Cheese take only 14 days to reach Iridium Quality. At this level, they sell for double their base price, meaning Cheese now sells for 460g and Goat Cheese for 800g, even without the Artisan Profession.

Choose the Right Professions

---

The right Profession choice can supercharge the profits earned on the farm, with some of them being much better than others.

Some of the best choices for Professions when trying to make money from methods that aren't crop-growing are as follows:

> Gatherer: This is a choice at Foraging Level 5. With this Profession, there's a 20% chance of double-harvest on foraged goods. As mentioned above, this includes the mighty Truffles.

> Botanist: This is a choice at Foraging Level 10 if Gatherer was chosen. This Profession makes all foraged goods their highest quality. Again, this applies to Truffles, making a single one worth 1,250g.

> Artisan: This is a choice at Farming Level 10 if Tiller was chosen at Level 5. The Artisan Profession is easily one of the best in the entire game, increasing the sale price of artisan goods by 40%. A bottle of base-quality Ancient Fruit Wine, for example, sells for 3,150g, compared to 2,250g without the Artisan Profession.

> Gemologist: This is a choice at Mining Level 10 if Geologist was chosen at Level 5. This Profession increases the price of all gems by 30%. This Profession is absolutely killer when paired with Crystalariums.

> Fisher(Level 5 Fishing) and Angler(Level 10): These Professions boost the sale price of fish. The first, Fisher, boosts the sale price of fish by 25%, while Angler boosts it by 50%. While these, unfortunately, do not stack, they do increase the value of the fish you catch immensely.

> Pirate: If you chose Fisher at Level 5 Fishing, you'll be able to choose between the aforementioned Angler Profession or Pirate. While Angler is more consistently profitable, Pirate can also be pretty great if you're lucky. This Profession doubles the chance of finding treasure when fishing, which can include some pretty expensive finds.
