It’s a worthy reward for making it so deep in The Mines…

With a colour palette similar to that of Minecraft’s obsidian, the Obsidian Edge is one of the first swords you’ll encounter with some proper crit stats. Where to find: fishing level 2 treasure chests If you’re a fishing fanatic like me, hopefully, it won't be long before you find this one! Neptune’s Glaive (mid-late game, depending on your luck)Ī suitable aquamarine blue, Neptune’s Glaive is a delightful weapon even in spite of its lowered speed score. Where to find: The Mines floor 90 chest reward in remixed mine rewards, Skeleton drops, purchasable in the Adventurer’s Guild (post-floor 75) for 6,000gġ2. Where to find: The Mines, floors 41-49 OR floor 60 chest reward in remixed mine rewardsĪlthough a little ghoulish, the Bone Sword is easily one of my favourite weapons mid-game - the reliable damage bracket combined with the speed of this, rather realistically, light weight weapon makes it a trusty companion in The Mines. Although not the prettiest sword to look at, it gets the job done, and is a welcome possession in the early game. Where to find: The Mines floors 41-79 OR floor 60 chest reward in remixed mine rewards, purchasable in the Adventurer’s Guild (post-floor 40) for 2,000gĪs far as powerful swords go, the Iron Edge is where things seem to step up a notch, being the first weapon (by level ascension) to reach into the 20s in damage. That being said, the Wood Mallet is a pretty solid (and amusing, animation-wise) weapon I’ve been able to find fairly early on (or attain for a fair price fairly early on, at least) with some neat little stat perks to make it worth it. Where to find: The Mines, floors 61-79 and floors 101-119 OR floor 80 chest reward in remixed mine rewardsĪlthough I hate them considerably less, I’m also not a huge fan of clubs in games like Stardew Valley.

If you make it to those lower mine floors early on in-game and happen across her, she’s a beaut. Shadow Dagger (early game, depending on how fast you make it through the mines)Īs far as daggers go, the Shadow is about as good as they get when you make checks and balances for damage, attainability, and stats. One of the more whimsical swords in the game, the Forest Sword is not only available fairly early on, but has some solid stat perks and a decent level of damage (plus, it really fits that cottage-core vibe).ġ6. Where to find: The Mines, floors 81+ OR floor 60 chest reward in remixed mine rewards, Skull Cavern Burglar’s Shank (early game, depending on how fast you make it through the mines)Īgain, if the need for a dagger arises, which it very well might in the early game stages when you’re still scrambling for the most effective weapons (and prone to forgetting them on those long mining trips…) then the Shank is a safe bet. Where to find: The Mines floor 50 chest reward in remixed mine rewards, purchasable in the Adventurer’s Guild (post-floor 20) for 750gġ8. The Silver Saber is ol’ trusty when it comes to swords, a great early game weapon that trumps the rest, and gives more bang for your buck in comparison to the 850g Pirate’s Sword (unlocks after floor 30 in the Adventurer’s Guild), although the latter may be preferable if you’d rather your sword was swift than hardy. Where to find: The Mines, floors 21-39 OR floor 10 chest reward in remixed mine rewards STATS: crit chance +1, crit power +10, weight +5 But, if you simply must, the Wind Spire is a good early-game weapon that’s fairly commonly obtained (although, I’d rather have the 50g sell price…) I’ll be the first to admit that I hate daggers, especially in Stardew Valley. If you prefer to focus on farming or other aspects of Stardew Valley, you may find that these assertions are inaccurate and may not obtain these weapons until later into your game, and vice versa. Note: the statements of early/mid/late game will vary depending on your play style. Luckily, we’ve simplified these weapons based on stats, game stage, and who they’re best for into a list of 20 of the best Stardew Valley weapons based on where you’re at in your playthrough - plus, handy tips on where to find them! Let’s get started. For a farming sim game, Stardew Valley sure gives its players a lot of options when it comes to combat tools.
