A Stardew Valley player achieved over ten million gold without leaving their farm, relying solely on Mixed Seeds and strategic farming techniques. While the game typically involves interacting with Pelican Town's NPCs and purchasing seeds from Pierre's General Store, this playthrough exploited an early-game method of seed acquisition.
Mixed Seeds, obtainable by tilling soil, harvesting weeds, or simply finding them, yield different crops depending on the season. This is key to the strategy. The player chose the Four Corners farm map for its high Mixed Seed yield and convenient on-farm mining area.
Crops from Mixed Seeds by Season:
| Season | Crops |
|---|---|
| Spring | Cauliflower, Parsnip, Potato |
| Summer | Corn, Pepper, Radish, Wheat |
| Fall | Artichoke, Corn, Eggplant, Pumpkin |
| Winter | Any (Greenhouse & Garden Pot only) |
| Island | Blueberry, Melon, Pineapple, Rhubarb |
The strategy accelerates after crafting a Seed Maker (Farming Level 9, requiring one gold bar). This machine produces 1-3 seeds from input crops, with a rare chance of creating lucrative Ancient Seeds (28-day growth cycle). Gold bars were obtained through mining and bar transmutation.
This remarkable achievement, spanning nine in-game years and 25 hours of real-time gameplay, demonstrates a mastery of the game's mechanics, though it doesn't unlock any achievements. It's a testament to the depth and replayability of Stardew Valley, challenging even veteran players.
