Dragontooth Cutlus: A Level 13 Sword having a base damage of 75-90 and a boost of +50 in Crit Power.Master Slingshot: One of the Most Damaging weapons, found in the Chest at floor level 70 and afterward can be bought for 1000g from the Adventurer’s Guild.It is important to know the Top 20 Best Weapons in Stardew Valley that are going to make f acing monsters a lot easier.Before players head to the mines, they should make sure that they are well-equipped with decent weapons.Eat before you leap into a shaft if your health is not topped, hold your weapon when you change floors (this is true with either mines or caverns), and an expectation that you will have to do that over and over again if you really want to go deep. When you do get to the caverns have great food, the best weapon possible, rings, boots, bombs, stone for stairs. You do not want to be a squishy, or like my first foray into there, there will not even be time to drop a staircase! Going back when you hit a hard spot allows you to build up those combat levels so that when you do get to the Skull Caverns you are not a squishy. Whittling down a mass of mobs this way can save your life and allow you to build up reserves in between fights. If you are careful, you can pull a single mob from a knot of them, by edging forward, then backing up, especially if one has moved a bit closer to you. Use the rings, use the boots, use the best weapon you can get your hands on, but you should not need to over fill Marlon's coffers either. It took time, and patience, and yes, occasionally a few bombs! There is a point when using the wooden mallet is better than using a sword, at least it was for me, and then I got the obsidian sword, then the lava katana, before getting the galaxy. I also spent a lot of time going back to previous levels for stone, geodes, kills, gems, what not. Just knowing that I have a way out if I run into a particularly tough monster, or struggle to find that last ladder when it starts getting past 11 PM, makes things way better.Īlso haven't tried mining since I got the obsidian sword because I've had loads of bad luck days and have been busy finishing the CC (eventually got it done on the 3rd of Fall year 2), but I've been killing slimes in the secret forest with one hit so it seems awesome.įor the mines, I would take a day or two a week with a goal of five levels a day, just to get that next elevator ding. I found that just having some staircases in my inventory makes the whole mining thing WAY less stressful. Did the rest normally, and made it to 90. Anyway crafted about 5/6, went down on a good luck day, and only used staircases to skip the levels with those particular enemies I had trouble with. I went and cleared out the quarry to get loads of stone for staircases, then realised I might as well just buy it from Robin, like seriously once you're making a decent amount of money, it's worth it to take the easy route. Got swarmed by that shaman guy and a few other monsters, panicked trying to use bombs and blew myself up ragequit and decided to try again later. Just resurrecting this thread quickly to say that I got to level 90! I took a few days out from playing, focussed on farming when I did but eventually went back into the mines feeling a bit more well prepared. If you feel like you have horrible luck, you could go for the katana, but I'd hate to dump 25k on a weapon and find a rainbow shard a couple days later. Depends if you want to wait for a rainbow shard or not, to get your first one. The Lava Katana is a toss-up, though: it's slightly better than the obsidian edge, but yet is outclassed by the galaxy weapons.

So, if you do it that way, you can save yourself a good 50k+ in just skipping the swords sold at the shop.

You can start working on said insect head weapon from almost the very beginning, and while 500 insects sounds like a lot, it really isn't because you will find 5 and 10 at a time and they add up fast.Īs an added bonus, you can turn all that bug meat into Fishing Bait if you've gotten a level or two on Fishing, so you can easily have 800+ bait for free by the time you're done with the weapon quest. Early on, you can farm the insect head which is a good enough weapon to take you clear to Floor 90 (if you rush the previous 20 floors with bombs). Eh, to be honest there's a point where buying a new sword is a waste of money.
