Stardew Valley – Fresh Start Guide

New to Stardew Valley? Returning back to check out the new update? Well don’t worry, here is a list of things that can help you with starting out on your first day at the farm. These are the little things that we tend to forget when returning to Stardew valley for a fresh start that may cause you to restart all over again.

The Mood Killer: Energy Bar

One of the most crucial aspects of the game and the one that is mostly overlooked till you are finally exhausted. Always keep an eye out for the energy bar, each little action that you perform will drain your energy. Don’t try to clear the farm on the first day itself instead do the following instead:

Step 1: Parsnip Seed Parcel

Enter the house and you will find a parcel of parsnip seeds, collect them and keep them in your inventory for now.

Step 2: North Exit

Clear a path towards the North Exit from which you can leave your farm. Make sure to clear on the small rocks and fallen branches so that you do not waste your energy.

Step 3: South Exit

Clear a path towards the South Exit from which you can leave your farm.

Step 4: Foraging

Now that the exits are cleared start venturing out to forage for collectibles like Dandelions, Horseradish and Clams.

Step 5: Wiggly Worms

If you notice Wiggling worms or Tendrils sticking out of the ground make sure to use a hoe to dig up some cool loot.

Step 6: Farming

Clear the area that is in front of your house to make a small farm, apart from the parsnips you might be able to find other seeds as well from digging the Wiggling Worms. Plant the seeds and make sure to water them.

Step 7: Storage Chest

Start cutting wood till you get 50 pieces to make your first storage chest, in order to store away the Scythe, Watering Can, Axe and other stuff that you may have picked up. This needs to be done since your backpack has only 12 slots in the beginning, which can be upgraded at the store later on once you have enough cash. If you run out of energy just go to sleep and continue the next day.

Step 8: Delivery

Just before making your way to bed, make sure to sell off your foraged items for some cash.

The Ultimate Run Killer: Time Exhaustion

At 12:00 am in the night you will receive a notification saying that it’s getting late, from this point onwards you have 2 in game hours and in real time that is 86 seconds. You will have to rush to your bed immediately before 2:00 am. If you collapse on the road you will end up losing items and the energy bar will be at the level it was the previous day. If you collapse in your house you won’t lose items but your energy won’t recover. The next day you will have to consume Field snacks at the least to restore your energy or you will have to sleep it off.

Tips

  • Don’t go to the beach on the first day instead forage the northern and eastern sides and the place at the Southern Exit from your farm. As you will have to go to the beach to collect the fishing rod the following day.
  • Make sure to keep the things you have in your backpack in your storage chest as it will hamper foraging.
  • Always carry the Hoe to dig up treasure and the pickaxe if you want to go to the mines
  • Collect seeds to make the field snack
  • Don’t waste your time trying to find all of the inhabitants of the village on the first day as you will meet most of them during the potluck ceremony and other events
  • Make sure to collect 300 wood to fix the bridge east of the beach

Fallout 76 – Mistress of Mystery

Introduction:

Fallout 76 has a fair share of quests some of which even need to be replayed in order to experience all the different scenarios. Other quests are dailies and events. Among all of them some are considered to be critically acclaimed by the community and we will be delving into the most interesting quest called the Mistress of Mystery. This quest is part of the Faction quests for the Order of Mysteries and is the last quest of the entire chain. The questline can be activated upon discovering the dead corpse of a young women on whom we find a damaged Holotape and a Worn Veil belonging to the Order of Mysteries. The corpse is part of randomly encountered events and can be found at various locations across Appalachia.

The Mission

After successfully completing Seeker of Mysteries the player is finally able to access the Headmistress’ office. It’s finally time for some clarity on this whole mess of events that occurred. Going back to a cryptos terminal you will finally get to access it as Olivia and authorize access to the Headmistress’ office. A hand scan terminal outside the office grants the player access to her cabin and upon accessing the terminal and reading the message sent by Olivia we finally find out that she came across members of the order gossiping about how they knew they were suspicious about her. She confesses to killing them and how she then wanted to get rid of the entire order, with a final message to her mother suggesting that meet at the usual spot they used to meet on the day of her birthday.

The Final Events:

At this point you will unlock the optional quest to search for clues regarding the meeting place, which can be found on Olivia’s terminal using her credentials. A new location marker appears on the map just north of your current location known as Seneca Rocks. Once you reach the place you will find the dead bodies of Olivia and her mother, the headmistress Shannon Rivers. Upon interacting with them you find the Holotape that has the recording of the final moments between the two of them. You can initially hear Shannon requesting disclosure and her daughter explaining how she was tired of the way they were operating. Olivia ends up killing her mother with the help of Brody, a raider who was assigned the task of doing away with the entire order. At the end he betrays Olivia finally putting an end to the entire Order of Mysteries.

Conclusion:

Now if we go back to the cryptos terminal we can finally login as Headmistress Shannon Rivers. You can access a few new things and promote yourself to the rank of Mistress of Mystery. The Holotape that you receive has an entry of Shannon delivering her final message, welcoming you as a full fledged member of the Order and briefly describing her reasons for the order. Apparently she had high hopes for Olivia and could not stand what her daughter had turned into at the end.
