Stardew Valley Farmer Hoards 10 Million Coins

A Stardew Valley player achieved a remarkable feat: amassing over ten million gold without ever leaving their farm. While the game's charm lies in its Pelican Town NPCs, the core gameplay centers on farming. This player cleverly exploited the mechanics of Mixed Seeds, obtainable by tilling soil and harvesting weeds, to generate immense wealth.

Each season yields different crops from Mixed Seeds: Spring (Cauliflower, Parsnip, Potato); Summer (Corn, Pepper, Radish, Wheat); Fall (Artichoke, Corn, Eggplant, Pumpkin); Winter (Greenhouse/Garden Pot only); and Island (Blueberry, Melon, Pineapple, Rhubarb). This variety is crucial to the strategy.

The player, Ok-Aspect-9070, detailed their method on the Stardew Valley subreddit, showcasing their earnings and using only starting tools. The Four Corners farm map was strategically chosen for its abundant Mixed Seeds and convenient mining area.

The strategy accelerates after crafting a Seed Maker (requiring Farming Level 9 and a gold bar). This allows for seed multiplication, with a small chance of producing lucrative Ancient Seeds (yielding Ancient Fruit after 28 days). Obtaining the gold bar involves mining and bar transmutation.

This nine-in-game-year, 25-real-time-hour endeavor, while not yielding achievements, represents a significant accomplishment, showcasing the game's depth and offering a unique challenge for experienced players.
