Extremely valuable crops Rare Seeds take most of Autumn to grow into a single Sweet Gem Berry, but that berry is worth thousands! In the second year, whenever you visit the travelling cart, you can probably buy any and all Rare Seeds that are available. Corn, unfortunately, is not nearly so profitable. You'll generally want to plant these as early in the season as you can. Although these involve more harvesting effort than the long term crops, you only need to plant them once - and usually they yield quite good profits for the season. In order to get two rounds in a season, you'll need to plant these crops on day 1, 2, 14, and 15. 13 day crops The produce that takes longest to grow, needs least attention. Basic truffles should be fed through an oil maker, but if you develop Foraging until you have Botanist, you'll be picking up Iridium Quality truffles and they are worth as much as Truffle Oil. (You might keep one to produce milk for cooking purposes.) Pigs are the new Black - confine them in a modestly sized field with plenty of grass, and you can pick up their truffles whenever you feel like. Truffles Cows are good money up to a point - past that point, it may be time to sell them. On Fridays, Krobus in the Sewers will sell an Iridium Sprinkler for 10k.

In year 3 you may get a lot of Iridium, so it's good to start accumulating extra batteries in year 2.) You'll also need to be visiting the Skull Cavern, which requires repairing the Bus and getting to the bottom level of the Mines (120).

(There is no advantage to spreading the rods around your farm. In order to make your own, you'll want to have a bunch of lightning rods somewhere, so that when lightning storms come through (usually in Summer) the rods produce Batteries for you. (And a bar of Gold, but by the time you have Iridium, Gold is plentiful.) An Iridium Sprinkler will water 24 surrounding squares for you - so you can keep more of your soil tilled and producing. Iridium Sprinklers You need a bar of Iridium and a Battery. This means, high value produce, and high value processing. The less often you have to touch things for your money, the better. There's a trade-off here - do you want to get the same money for less work, or more money for the same amount of work? One way or another it's time to really work on getting the financially rewarding stuff going. If you have a highly upgraded watering can and/or a lot of sprinklers, you can grow crops over a very large area. Making the most of your land on the farm However, it has an unusually high chance of appearing at the Travelling Cart, so if you miss catching it directly then you still have a chance of buying one. Pufferfish is the hardest to find, and to catch - it's only available in Summer from the Ocean between 12 noon and 4pm, and it's a pretty difficult fish. There's no in-game reference but plenty of websites. Make sure you plant some! Pufferfish There are usually several fish outstanding and you'll want to look up where and when to find them. Red Cabbage This will usually have to wait until Summer of year 2, when Pierre begins to sell seeds for it. It's more likely that you have found your way in by this stage, but you'll have to wait for Summer before this fern will be forageable. Fiddlehead Fern if you haven't found the Secret Woods yet, take a Steel Axe and go looking around the forests for something that might be blocking an exit.

Truffles You'll need a fully upgraded Barn from Robin, and some Pigs from Marnie. (There is also an 'organise inventory' button below it.) You can use this button to look through what you have and haven't put into Bundles though you still have to actually go to the Community Centre to deliver stuff. It's subtle and placed 'outside' the obvious interface, it may overlap the time display. Look to the top right of this screen for a small cream and brown square with a tree trunk on it it looks like the Junimo special tables in the community centre. However, the game provides an interface for you to look items up without going all the way back to the community centre. The obvious way to track items remaining is to get a bit of paper and write everything down. It's well worth making a point of visiting it regularly. Many but not all of the Community Centre items have a chance of being sold from the Travelling Cart on Fridays and Sundays. Usually you'll have several things left to find for the Community Centre, and finishing this before the end of the second year is a major goal, and usually fairly readily achievable.Ĭommon things to still be pursuing for the Community Centre Your goals for your second year are naturally determined by how far you've come in the first year.
