  I got to floor 216 after showing up to skull caverns at 11 am using the "no bomb damage" effect and just bringing a shitload of mega bombs. Didn't use a single staircase! There's a special pleasure in just carpet bombing skull caverns and having Mr Qi tell you that you're "honorable"

  A relaxing playthrough tutorial:<br><br>&quot;Do what you want when it occurs to you. There is no rush, there are no deadlines. Everything can occur again. You can always try that quest again another time, there will always be another season, and you can reset your day if you mess up big. Take your time and have fun.&quot;

  For anyone watching this in the future: You can now put Legendary Fish into fish ponds, and my god is it worth it. They don&apos;t reproduce, which means you can&apos;t farm more legendary fish, but it also means that you don&apos;t have to wait or do any quests for them to reach their maximum output potential; they hit the ground running. The worst performing of them is the Angler/Ms Angler, which (with the Artisan profession) can produce upwards of 5000g per harvest when aged in a Preserves Jar. It fluctuates because of fish pond weirdness, but still. They can all be given Animal Crackers to double their output, and they never stop producing even in winter, so they make a ton of money.

  A more affordable option for liked gifts is salmonberry jelly. Every single NPC except Sebastian likes it, and it is super super cheap and easy to mass-produce

  During the iridium scythe segment, it was worth mentioning that harvesting by hand still has the advantage of the animation pausing the clock. It&apos;s faster to harvest with the scythe in real time, but it comes at the cost of in-game hours, thus eating into your plans for the harvest day.

  The Tresure Appraisal Guide affects the price of dinosaur eggs sold raw, which means that at higher friendship level the iridium quality dino egg you get will sell for 2100g which is more than dino mayo that sells for 1120g

  It&apos;s nice having these mastery videos combined into one.

  Salmence messed up a bit in the Farming mastery guide. While Dinosaurs don&apos;t benefit from friendship for the Dino Mayo, with the Artifact Almenac, Dinosaur eggs can sell for minimum 1000 gold, max 2100 at iridium quality. With the Almenac, their min price is higher than the Dino Mayo at 800. So their friendship DOES matter and while they produce their eggs every 7 days unlike a Pig who can produce a bunch of truffles of Iridium Quality with the Artisan, Gatherer and Botanist professions, giving them an animal cracker means that every drop gives you potentially 4200 per egg. With a full coop that&apos;s 50,400 for a deluxe coop filled with dinosaurs at max friendship.<br><br>They&apos;re a real contender. I don&apos;t think they match up to Pigs or even Sheep, but they&apos;re probably the most valuable animal in Coops.

  The iridium scythe is actually so peak

  Kind of a bummer that the frogs and fairies get different color variants but the parrot doesn&apos;t. I know there&apos;s other parrot sprites in the game, so what gives? But thank you as usual, Sal, for a really in-depth explanation of new mechanics. (I play Switch and am living vicariously through PC players at the moment.)

  Correction for Dinos: once you get the treasure appraisal book that increases artifact sell prices, it&apos;s actually much more profitable to sell the dino eggs than to sell the mayo if it&apos;s silver quality or above as artisan mayo sells for 1,120 and a silver egg sells for 1,311 and above for better quality. Meaning it&apos;s worth having high friendship dinos for the chance of iridium quality eggs
