Stardew Valley doesn’t have a traditional ending, as there are several long-term goals players can complete. But money can come in handy, both in terms of befriending townspeople, pursuing romantic options, and providing the basic infrastructure players will need to ensure their farms are working efficiently and producing all the goods they need. Thankfully Stardew Valley offers many ways to make fast and easy money and bypass some early game obstacles.
Unfortunately, these methods can be somewhat time-consuming and block players from accessing other areas, activities, and more. As players complete more activities, skill levels increase and unlock craftable items that can generate more revenue. Though there are many ways to earn money in Stardew Valley, the primary gameplay loop focuses on growing crops, selling them, and obtaining seeds for more valuable crops. ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley is a relaxing farming simulator, but money still plays an essential role in every player’s life.
