Flow & Fortune: The SilverStream Chronicles 29

by

Luck is a fickle thing in Stardew Valley, but in this episode of Flow & Fortune: The SilverStream Chronicles, I make my own!

Highlights from this episode:

  • Fall 3, Year 1: Swallowing JojaMart’s markup because Pierre’s is closed on Wednesdays—all to get seeds planted in time for Marnie’s last-minute amaranth request!
  • Big Payday: Shipping smoked fish, corn, and beach forage after dropping off requested seaweed for Caroline. Can you guess my total gold for the night?
  • Tool & Farm Upgrades: Dropping off copper bars at Clint’s for a copper hoe and stopping by Robin’s to order a silo back-to-back.
  • Mining Run: Taking advantage of a high-luck day to plunge into the mines! How far down do you think I made it?
