100 Days of Stardew Valley with NO FARMING 

Imagine being the npcs, your beloved farmer dies and his grandson comes in to continue the family farm. Instead of farming, the grandson spends his days digging up mud on the beach

After finishing perfection, I've had fun on my new beach farm where I challenged myself to only give a gift for a birthday no other gifts on any other days, only improving friendship by talking, and I must try my best to do every help wanted quest I see. No matter how inconvenient. I'm calling it my girl scout run.

I love how you can leave fish in a wooden box out in the sun and its ok to make sashimi out of it a month later

The first time I played Stardew Valley, I picked the river land farm because I thought I would really like fishing. I didn't. But I did, and continue to, find endless joy in seeing the ducks swim around the farm when it updated.

1:05:35 YES! Cucumbers are berries, or botanically speaking, a 'pepo.' Pepos are berries with hard outer rinds, among other specific characteristics like seed amount and shape. Pumpkins, gourds, and melons are also included! Okay, I'm done nerding, I couldn't help myself. Cucurbitaceae are my special interest.

No farming run: “Very first thing I’m doing is farming for fiber” Great video! Cant wait to finish it

"Poxial eat your heart out" I died and would LOVE to see his reaction to you getting not one, but two lucky rings within minutes

Since you like Crab Pots, maybe try an Automate 100 days and see how many passive progression things you can set up at once and how far that takes you by the end of the time?

This was amazing, I cannot believe you were able to do all this in only 100 days, without farming!

At 45:17 you have two repeating voice lines. Also you can buy honey from Sandy on one of the days of the week for 200g for your farm warp totems. Love your vids, been watching them a lot.

I just finished my attempt at this challenge, my only change to it was giving myself the whole first year to complete it rather than 100 days. I absolutely needed the full year, as I did get all 100 points. I've had this video in my background noise rotation recently and thoroughly enjoyed it- and kept wanting to try it out for myself. Noteworthy things: 1. I picked gemologist for mining, since it doubles geodes you get and upon level 10 it increases your chance to find them. Gemologist does have it's uses! 2. I finished the mining, bus, and fishing bundles before buying the joja membership. Which means I didn't finish the center until the first week of fall- but that fit into my plans as all i needed to make sure I did was get a banana tree sapling before fall ended. I chose to do the bus via bundles so I would get a crystalarium early. 3. I decided so late on who to romance, and I picked Sebastian for purely funny reasons (I named my character Ariel and designed them to look like the princess lmao.) Plus I always had frozen tears to give him, however I cut it EXTREMELY close with getting married. 4. I hit 10 hearts with him in the last week of fall, and there were no more rainy days. I spent most of winter doing skull cavern runs to find treasure rooms for rain totems (i did find them the day before the night market hit and I had to wait until it was done to get the mermaid pendant) But it did line up with getting the secret note for floor 100 so I did get snake milk! 5. One of the things I did early on was to slay enough dust sprites to get the burglar ring, since I knew monster drops would be important later on. Managed to get 3 dinosaur eggs on a prehistoric floor, and I was getting lemon stones left and right which made me chuckle. The burglar ring might be my personal favorite. Especially for skull cavern. 6. My struggle items for completing the museum were the prehistoric skull and scapula. I got the skull first from haunted skulls, and it took me until the 26th of winter to get the scapula. I opted to try to get them from skeletons without knowing how low the drop rate was but I did get it. 7. I collected 101 walnuts, getting into the walnut room on winter 27 after my banana tree had grown. (I stuck it in the greenhouse so it would be used for something and not get blocked growing) 8. On the final day of the year I got the stardrop from Sebastian which I REALLY didn't think was gonna happen. 9. My hat of this play through was the deluxe pirate hat :)

I have had 1:05:59 "OH MY GOD WE'RE GAMERS" in my head play out any time I finish or do something productive, thank you

Loved this! Was a very fun watch, and very clear how much love and work went into making this video. Idea for a new 100 day run: You are not allowed to do anything that you did the previous day. Say you fished and foraged on day 5, you are not allowed to either fish or forage on day 6 and have to do other things like go into the mines. Would mean that you have to make the absolute most of each activity each day, rather than the Stardew norm of running around doing a bunch of stuff along the way.

13:30 from someone that has essentially memorised all loved gifts because it's always one of the first things i achieve in game, Haley only likes daffodils, she doesn't love them. Her loved gifts are coconuts, sunflowers, pink cake and fruit salads + all universal loves except for the prismatic shard

Sal: I see no reason to go for Geologist (Procedes to struggle with geodes) Me: Geologists doubles not only gems, but also the geodes that you get. And at level 10 it doubles your chance to find geodes. So if you're struggling with geodes and artifacts, that's an option.

"Poxial eat your heart out" LMAOOO FOUL

The tea cutscene still remains to be one of my favorite cutscene to this day. The only one thats stopping it from being my favorite one ever is the Krobus 14 heart cutscene.

YAYYYYYY PERFECT TIMING! Also congrats on getting your account back!

25:15 Kitty sleeps on bed, kitty's staff sleeps on floor.... makes perfect sense lol.

Watching the streams for this was so much fun, and I'm loving reliving all of it, from the "is a pickle a berry" discussion, and the freaking lucky ring/prism shard moments. I also love seeing all the crab pots all over again. And trying to get the dino egg from the crane game. I'm not even finished watching this video once and I know I'll be watching it again soon.

This challenge was actually me on my first playthrough. For some reason I decided to clear off my farm entirely before planting ANYTHING, so it took until year 2 for me to finally plant my parsnips.

The music at 26:35 unlocked a core memory of mine. I haven't played Pokemon TCG in probably 20 years but as soon as I heard the music, I knew I recognized it from somewhere.

I genuinely love how settled was part of the inspiration for this challenge, I know for a fact that if he were to see this he would be overwhelmed by the fact that he was mentioned in this video let alone inspired by it. Love the video and I hope more of these come in the future

You managed to do more in 100 days without farming than I do in 2 years with QoL mods. Well done

This is very, very good video. And to be honest, I listen to it when falling asleep often, your voice is just perfect for that (consistent and no screaming) mixed with the calm setting of Stardew valley ☺️

This was so fun to watch live, and the video is of such a high quality I'm glad you did this challenge

your editing is literally so clean 😭😭 it's so satisfying to watch your videos

Bro. I'm a newb, so forgive me... My very first time panning (random spot in front of Jodi's house) got me a lucky ring and a diamond. I kid you not.

100 day videos go hard on RU-vid, excited to watch this

day 1 you failed the challenge: you farmed clay.

1. Honestly, the fact that you managed to get _that much_ done in 100 days with zero farming is incredibly impressive, man. Well done. 2. Why is your sense of humor so perfect omg. *Stonks.*

Omg the music at 26:36 made me so nostalgic! Pokemon TCG what an underrated gameboy game! Really enjoy these Stardew videos and as a new player they’re really helpful!

With some of the new 1.6 items, it would be fun to see this type of challenge done again!

"Poxial eat your heart out" ahahahahahahahaha the laugh I needed this morning.

my cats grey and white I got him a little over a year and a half ago, and I named him Ace. He’s a bigger cat, but he’s a softie. Never swipes or hisses at people He also still does that adorable chirping sound that normally only baby cats do, but he’s kept doing it and I’m so glad cause it’s adorable! He’s got really soft hair, but when he was younger I called him fuzzy cause of his kitten fuzz, and the nickname stuck so I call him that sometimes too. Every time I come home he’s happy to see me and he’s just so adorable

"But no one likes quartz i guess" Abigail eats quartz for breakfast

Thanks for all the hard work that goes into these runs, much love ❤

The 2 luck rings is so relatable. Sometime I get so weirdly lucky with stuff, to the point that it makes the extra ones useless.

I am so excited for this! I'm doing a less restrictive version right now, where I can't earn any farming XP outside ginger island. I can plant forage (tea saplings are my main source of income ATM), fruit trees, and collect truffles, but I'm not allowed to touch the pigs because petting them would give me XP.

I’m doing my first playthrough currently (just completed grandpas evaluation) and I was listening to your videos for 99% of it 😂 also I got two lucky rings so I combined them into an iridium bond and a vampire ring for my two combined rings, they’re lit. Still haven’t gotten the skull for the cat fossil tho sadly, but anyways you’ve gained a subscriber man, keep up the good work 🥳

I'm prepping myself for a similar challenge, and was pleased to find out during another file that you can get into the casino without needing to plant beets- the traveling cart sells the crop itself! Of course... you'll be waiting a long time to get all ten...

i just wanna say how great your videos are! well scripted, well edited, and they're so helpful! and you have a great voice! calm but not boring, and clear enunciation, which i appreciate! and you pick the perfect background music and its mixed perfectly! your voiceover and bg music is always at the perfect volume levels!

Wow this channel is extraordinary! So exiting and keeps pulling me in I watched the whole thing and never lost interest!

Correction on Haley gifts: She "Likes" Daffodils, she does NOT "Love" them.

"first thing i'm doing is farming--" MISSION FAILED, WE'LL GET 'EM NEXT TIME

If you're looking for another challenge, may I suggest: 25% profit margin, Beach Farm, enable monsters on the farm, remix the bundles and mine rewards.

I'M a complete SV noob. I don't know hell what to do. This would be impossible for me. Very entertaining!

LET’S GOOO I’m so happy your account is back! Such a cool vid concept 🎉

that 10 heart with haley moment was absolute cinema

You should still be able to get truffle oil via a deconstructor I'm pretty sure, though I forget which item you wanted to throw in it for them...but pretty sure there's a non farming method without using the cart.

I'd say you got 98/100 of your points since you got 80/100 golden walnuts! (If every 10 walnuts = 1 point). Plus you should get bonus points for hitting a secret goal you didn't even know you had (earning 1mil)!

Going to try this myself

I am excited to watch more of your videos, the Low% video got me hooked. Thanks for making these!

“Poxial, eat your heart out” made me cackle! Thanks for the great video ehe

I can’t believe you used music from the Pokémon Trading Card Gameboy Color game! That soundtrack is such a banger! 😍😍😍😍

I love 100 days of stardew without an important game mechanic videos, love this one :)

i work at night and if there is a chance to sleep a little, i always play this video and fall asleep real fast. your voice is just so relaxing and sleepable

woah, i just found your channel from this video and this is lots of fun!!! i’m already loving your content. congrats on getting your account back!!!!

This was such a fun video! I love this idea and am super impressed! The clay trick totally bummed me out to see!

The music choices in this video are top tier. Very cozy vibes, happy the algorithm brought me here.

oh wow i loved this video!!! this was the first video of yours i stumbled upon and i absolutely loved it. ive been checking out your other videos as well and you seem really great!!

ello!! just thought id mention for anyone else who may b doing this challenge, am pretty sure u can complete the mermaid puzzle on ginger island wif just one flute block!! u just have to put it down, tune it, then break it to put it in the next spot and repeat!!

awesome video, it was great to listen to you talk through your progress while i'm working on cross-stitch presents here, so thanks for accompanying me haha. seriously, though, i'm so glad for the positive outcome, the music at the end reminded me of the triumphant disney-esque tunes after a harrowing part of a tale

Well done! I was so impressed i lost the home row twice trying to type this.

45:14 "I am also pretty short-sighted at the moment just trying to hit level 9 foraging because once we can make all that sashimi we have so many fish from all of our crab pots im convinced we'll probably able to finish all of the bundles immediatly But im short-sighted at the moment just trying to hit level 9 foraging because once we can make all that sashimi we have so many fish from all of our crab pots im convinced we'll probably able to finish all of the bundles immediatly" Best quote 2022-2023, Ten out of five stars.

Wow! I haven't done this WITH farming and you've done it WITHOUT farming Just WOW!

This was so much fun to watch!! You did alot in 100 days. 😊

Alright I loved this because I really like fishing but don’t care all that much about farming and community center in the game. To know that I can continue playing this way and still unlock a lot of what makes the game fun is really cool! Instant sub and great video:)

I saw the video title and was hype Then I saw the video length and my hype doubled Amazing work as always Salmence! Edit: The music choices were particularly choice this video, the Pokemon TCG Gameboy track at 26:35 was a lovely surprise, that game's soundtrack is goated

ok i'm 9 minutes in and i'm also super inexperienced, but i found a really good spot to get catfish for some odd reason. line up with the pole in front of haley's house, walk down all the way to the river, then walk one tile to the left. face the river again and cast there. i always get at least one catfish there on day 3. idk why or how or if i'm just somehow super fricking lucky but every time i fish in that spot i get a catfish at least once.

I actually had an account that was a No farming account. When I used to play in my old account and just water my plants and go back to sleep. It was a reason I decided to start the account. My rules were: I can only plant what I need for Community Center bundles (if I'm doing the gold quality, I can't sell the plant) I can plant crops for missions and things like ancient seeds (because I didn't know what an ancient seed was at the time) I leveled up in Farming level due to animals. While doing the challenge I found that I had so much more fun than usual in my old save file, I eventually got to the full bundle and did a bunch of stuff. The only thing I didn't do before I lost my game file was getting to Ginger Island. (My hard drive got corrupted and I was using a friend share account, basically someone lets me play on my computer in steam. It made me lose my files)

I am. Shocked a little bit. I thought the list was impossible 😂 great job!

I have a save where I got a dino floor ONCE and never again- im in year 5 on that save and have been griping not having the dino egg so THANK YOU bc i had no idea about the alternate avenue!! also wonderful vid very entertaining :)

I already knew I liked you based on the few videos of yours I've seen... After the Swampletics reference I knew I was in love, subscribed (:

1:06:51 "WHAT" Absolutely love it

i love the crab pots its like free money to me. dont ask about the valley's aquatic ecosystem.

1:06:44 the noises you made after getting the two luck rings kill me every rewatch

Speed runners got me into using 75% zoom and watching salmences videos got me back into 100% thanks

Yaaaaaaay!!!! You are back! I really like your videos so I got sad when your channel got hacked. It is good that you are back.

this was amazing!!!! new fave stardew channel

One thing I did to get all the walnuts while doing Joja was wanting for year 2 or 3 before doing the joja route

I think you did a great job on this. It's definitely a challenge to play without farming. :)

Sensational!! Glad you’re back!

I am having a crisis right now because I misremembered this video as a challenge where you also did the community center and tons of farming, and tried to replicate it like that after I couldn’t find this video again. I spent 30 hours trying to do it but could never get level ten fishing in Spring. And now I randomly see this video again and I just… why have I done this to myself?

“poxial’ll eat your heart out” i cantt 😭😭🫶 love ya sal

Awesome videos! In particular always love the Paper Mario references.

This is one of my favorite videos ever. Great effort!

First off, loved the video, don't know if you'll see this comment 8 months later. This is a farming simulator, you farm monsters and ores in the mines, you farm fish at the rivers, lakes, and ocean. You farm trees and forageables off farm, and crops, animals, fish, trees, and even some ores from the quarry, all on just your farm. It'd be cool to see what you could do in 100 days of never leaving the farm. Little to no foraging, no fishing because you don't get a rod, no mining, no greenhouse or community center. Oof

I love seeing this video have two of my favorite content creators, settled and fir, at the beginning of this, and I love you included them! Stardew has so much for restricting yourself and challenging yourself and I love the creativity

oh yeah if you didn't know, you can use the gilded shorts (putting a staircase in the pants slot) for the short shenanigans..

honestly one of the best stardew related vids ive watched

You have such a beautiful, calm voice!

Dat 48000... I think we went past the 100 mark by a tiiiny bit. Kidding, your videos are teaching me a lot about this game. Makes me want to play it again. Thanks.

Petting and milking or sheering animals does give Farming XP!

Congrats! The bg music reminds me of adventure coming of age movies hah. Edit: finished watching it, what a great video!! Your reaction to lucky rings + talking about poxial at that time made me laugh. "Huh??" "WHAT???" 🤣

I was playing stardew on my switch while watching this, and got to fall 8th at the same timeas you lol

I skipped the ginger island part (mobile player here), but the rest of it was INSANE. you're crazy good at this game!

Been watching and listening to this while working on dipping my gaming channel toes into the 100 days of Stardew family. This gives me two future ideas. Replicating this challenge in my own way, and doing the opposite. A farm focused challenge using the Riverland farm because it's the worst one for it. 😂

Swampletics!!!! yayayaya!!! nice video fun concept, thanks for making!!!

Whoop you uploaded on my birthday! I am so happy your account is back :)
