A Stardew Valley player has shared a cheatsheet to help others quickly establish strong friendships with fellow villagers in the game. The visual guide compiles various important traits of the NPCs which can help new Stardew Valley players learn how to make friends and unlock rewards.
Alongside flourishing farms and colorful locations, Stardew Valley has plenty more to offer. Socializing is an integral part of the farm simulation game that allows players to activate certain perks by making friends across Stardew Valley. To progress through the ranks and claim these benefits, players must give gifts to certain characters according to their likes and dislikes. Given that this task may be daunting for some, a player has condensed all relevant information about what gifts to give and friendship perks in Stardew Valley into an image.
What Stardew Valley Players Should Do in the Winter
Winters in Stardew Valley mean no farming, but players can still engage in a wide variety of activities to earn money and keep busy.
In a recent Reddit post, user Mixture-Wonderful shared a visual representation of loves, likes, and perks offered by possible friends in Stardew Valley. The characters whose preferences are included in the guide are Emily, Pam, Gus, Willy, Jodi, Marnie, Robin, George, Linus, Caroline, Wizard, and Clint. These NPCs in Stardew Valley offer a variety of returns in the form of vegetables, fish, timber, and more.
Even though an NPC’s traits can be found out by reading between the lines and picking up on other hints during conversations with them, it’s not the most convenient and certainly not the quickest way to go about it. The chart comes in handy for those who want to speed through the process of making friends and want to obtain corresponding rewards.
Stardew Valley is Still Popular After All These Years
Stardew Valley recently hit its 8-year anniversary, but that doesn’t mean it’s become outdated among fans. Rather impressively, many new and old players log into the game passionately on a regular basis. As a consequence of strong player engagement, Stardew Valley has also been receiving updates even years after release. One of the key reasons for this popularity is that players still keep coming across new things in the game.
Apart from continuing to update Stardew Valley, developer ConcernedApe is currently also building another RPG called Haunted Chocolatier. Apparently, this particular title will be a life simulation game and is yet to get a release date after being first revealed in 2021. After the immense success of Stardew Valley about a decade ago, fans may expect something similar from the developer when its next game rolls out.
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is a hit Indie release that spawned a cult following thanks to its similarities to titles like Harvest Moon and The Sims. Players will take control of their own characters as they are dropped into the eponymous Stardew Valley and given an old dilapidated farm. They’ll cultivate new crops and relationships with the NPCs scattered around the area, as well as combat monsters and embark on other quests.
