Fighter > Brute has a slight edge over Scout > Desperado, but both profession choices are fine. Acrobat is good if you use special attacks, but I have found that special attacks are pretty marginal right now. These professions are largely a coinflip, with the only poor choice being Defender. Scout - Critical strike chance increased by 50%.Īcrobat - Cooldown on special moves is cut in half. The professions essentially break down to luck vs consistency.įighter - All attacks deal 10% more damage. Stardew Valley has 6 combat related professions. Skull Cavern does not have an elevator, so the player will need to decend from the first floor every time, but there is a chance of finding a hole that allows the player to drop multiple levels (and does a little bit of damage). Qi offers a reward of 10,000g after reaching level 25. It has more difficult monsters, but offers much better rewards, like iridium ore (the monsters have a chance of dropping iridium bars, too).īring lots of food because the monsters hit really hard (cactus fruit found in the desert works well), some bombs to kill mummies, and maybe a warp totem to get back home if it gets too late (or dangerous!). Skull Cavern is located in the northwest part of Calico Desert. A minecart can be unlocked at the community center that allows fast travel between the mines, town, bus stop, and quarry (also unlocked in the community center). The elevator allows the player to quickly travel to levels in 5 level increments (1, 5, 10. After reaching the bottom of the mines (level 120), you are rewarded a Skull Key that grants access to the Skull Cavern. Rocks can be mined for stone and it's possible to find ore of various types while exploring the mines. The mines are located in the northeast part of Stardew Valley and can be accessed after the 5th day of your first spring. Luck has a small impact on combat areas (Lucky Lunch, Pumpkin Soup, Spicy Eel, and Fried Eel) luck provides more ore veins, item drops, and the chance of ladders/holes. In the mines, you will forget a random amount of levels (normally 5-10 levels), effectively wiping away some progress in the mines. Whenever you blackout, you have a chance to lose a random number of items in your inventory (including your weapon) and a somewhat random amount of gold. If you hit points are reduced to zero, you will blackout a villager will find you and either wake you up or send you to the doctor, Harvey.ĭeath/blackout is very costly. Immunity - affects the time a debuff is applied to the player.Defense - affects how much damage the player takes.CRIT Power - affects how hard the player's critical strikes hit.Speed - affects how fast the player moves.Weight - affects the distance an enemy is knocked back.

These stats include weight, speed, critical attack power, defense, and immunity. Weapons and food sometimes have an effect on combat. Swinging a weapon or scythe does not cost energy, but axes and pickaxes do never use your axe or pickaxe to fight an enemy. This guide covers just about everything you need to know about what to expect with combat while playing Stardew Valley.

While exploring certain areas of the game, you may run into monsters that are capable of hurting you. Stardew Valley features a relatively basic combat system.
