Yeah, the moment I got my hands on my first Crystalarium (via a weekly quest), I immediately started growing jades with it, just so I could get a decent supply of staircases for my first deep Skull Cavern run. So I'm not surprised that jade was your #1.

I would add Basalt to this list as well because of Lava Eel ponds! i usually only duplicate jade and ruby for the Desert Trader. In my current 1.6 playthrough i have a bunch of golden cracker Lava Eel ponds that give me more Spicy Eels than i could ever eat so now im only duplicating jade xD If u want a bunch of Lava Eel ponds, Basalt duping is needed in the beginning to get the ball rolling but then the ponds should start giving u heaps of magma geodes which can be cracked for basalt haha

13:45 I physically cringed when you left the prismatic shard on the ground and teleported away

Oh, yeah! I totally missed that. Good tip!

Amethysts are also loved by Clint, the Dwarf and Emily. Abigail just seems like the funniest option :)

Awesome video as usual! Keep up the great work!

Genuinely helpful. I was really curious about whether it was worth putting anything other than jades or diamonds in them. LOVE the letter from the rock eater at the beginning too

most underrated stardew valley creator i love you actually

Awesome content and very helpful🎉

Great video ^^ For the time differences in the wiki, it seems like someone calculated days with 1440min instead of the 1600min that Stardew Valley days have (because of the 400min between 2 am and 6 am). So Emeralds are 3000min and with 1600min per day they will be ready in the morning 2 days later if you put them in until 9:20 am. So there is a 160min difference for every day the wiki shows (if this reduces the day count remember the last 4h of a day are 400min and unplayable). So diamonds are the farthest off and take in reality 4 days 13h 20min and all Minerals are far off too and only take 3 days 3h 20min.

Wow, Sephiloud comes in again with some great info. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like there's an overarching issue with timing discrepancies on the wiki. I noticed the dehydrator lists 1750 minutes, but is always ready first thing in the morning as well. Thanks for helping clear some of them up!

@@Kitadollx That's really weird because Dehydrator is new in 1.6 and was never defined with minutes. Dehydrator is set to 1 day to be ready and this setting works by nights. So after x nights the machine is ready at 6 am. So the dehydrator will always be ready 6 am after sleeping for one night.

Ok hear me out, I keep a shed full crystalariums with different colors of fast replicating gems. Red orange blue yellow and purple for Qi’s prismatic grange challenge. I have ten each of every color. It takes roughly 10 days to get 100 of every color (I use fiber for green because there are no fast replicating green minerals and gems) after I make sure to have one of every color I sell the excess as just bonus gold. It’s free after the initial investment and I don’t have to scramble around or use valuable crafting supplies.

Which gems do you use for each color(aside from green) if i may ask? Personally am starting my journey with Qi's challenges so i can get recipes i need to craft for perfection(and also just cause i want heavy tapper to spice things up with a mystic tree+mushroom log farm) and I would LOVE a way to automate a challenge after dealing with the ship 500 qi fruit one lol.

I always duplicate Diamonds and Jade. Jade for obvious reasons and Diamond is loved by 8 villagers. That's easy friendship with 8 NPCs.

Diamonds can also be traded at the Desert Trader for Triple Shot Espresso.

I found this video SO interesting

Time moves faster during the night time (when you're asleep) so this is why machines are often completed after you wake up so that's probably why the emeralds finished earlier

Nice video! But I think you're underselling just how useful Jade -> Staircase -> Deconstructor -> 99 Stone can be, especially when somebody is trying to set up large amounts of Crystalariums, Preserves Jars, Cheese Presses, or even Deluxe Retaining Soil for large sheds of garden pots. Eventually you'll end up with more stone than you know what to do with, but when you're still expanding it's so much easier than collecting it all yourself and cheaper than buying it from Robin. But even with all that said, Diamonds take the #1 spot for me for a reason you didn't mention: It can be traded to the Desert Trader for Triple Shot Espressos! This is meaningfully easier than growing and brewing your own coffee beans- each TSE lasts 6 in-game hours, so you can get coverage from morning to midnight with 3 TSE a day. Each TSE is equivalent to 3 regular coffees, which are five coffee beans each. Each plant yields ~4 beans every 2 days, roughly ~2 beans a day. This works out to managing 23 coffee plants to average ~46 beans a day, brewing them into 9 coffee, and then cooking them into TSEs. Or you could set up 15 Diamond Crystalariums to get ~3 diamonds a day, trade them, and enjoy +1 speed for 18 hours a day. You could just buy coffee from Gus for 300g/each, making TSEs cost 900g/each, but Diamonds sell for 750g/each without Gemologist so they're cheaper, and even at Gemologist's 974g/each I'd argue that the convenience of not having to cook it all into TSEs yourself is worth the 74g. I don't have numbers for comparison to a Hot Java Ring, but there are plenty of worthwhile uses for the ring slot. (And if you're playing with friends, all of this is per player!)

For TSE stocking i would rather use java ring (forget the exact ring name) that allows monster to drop coffee. Just farm monsters and get bunch of coffees, and sometimes the monster also instead drop TSE. Dont forget to use monster musk if available, and run in icy theme mines to also farm coal at the same time. In a day i can get 20+ TSEs

I also ended up deconstructing a few jade-traded staircases for stone to use in late-game crafting recipes.

Remember that you also can deconstruct the stairscases that you bet from the desert traitor to get 99 stone

Being able to deconstruct staircases into huge quantities of stone for crafting is just another reason why Jade really is the best.

I do love putting Jade in crystalariums. I usually keep 4-10 going and that's enough for me.

I am indeed a mayonnaise tycoon 😤😆

My personal top 5 1. Jade (staircases) 2. Ruby (spicy eel) 3. Diamond 4. Fire quartz 5. Quartz

Who else immediately tried to throw an iridium ore in it? Lol

Starshards outsell diamonds per week and overtime will be more valuable.

love having troves of marble for the toga party ill never have 🤍
