What to Put in Your Grange Display at the Stardew Valley Fair (And Why It Matters)

The grange display contest score is perhaps one of Stardew Valleys most enduring mysteries. Although it is possible, with a little experimentation, to memorize the secret passage through the spirit’s Eve Maze, discover all the hiding spots in the Egg Festival, or determine what the general likes most in his luau soup, the right assortment of things for A winning The Grange show remains elusive, year after year.

In case it is the first crack of a player in the Stardu Valley fair, here is what will happen: on Tuesday, the 16 of autumn, the whole city will gather in the main square between 9:00 and 15:00. There will be tourists to chat with, carnival games to play, and most importantly, a series of grunge displays with all salable goods. Fruits, vegetables, fish, cheese, eggs, textiles and others. There is also an empty display. The farmer’s job is to Fill it with the cream of their crop, but what it looks like may be different For each individual.

How to build the perfect grunge display

Take home the prize at the Stardew Valley Fair

Grunge displays are judged in three different categories: quantity, quality and varietyWith different numbers of points awarded for different degrees of success in each category. However, the player cannot actually see how many points their Grange display will receive until after judging. It is probably a Stardew Valley Mod for this, but that would be cheating.

Let’s start with quantity, because it’s the easiest to explain: The more items in a grunge display, the higher it scores. Ideally, players always want to fill all nine available slots, even if they have to sacrifice quality or variety to do so. If necessary, players can even fill them with non-scoring items, like trash, but in general, it’s a better idea to add something usable, even if it’s low-quality forage that only scores a few points.

Next, there is quality: An item’s selling price and star quality directly impact how many points it adds to a grunge displaywith a maximum of eight points per item. As a result, it is best to add the most valuable, highest-quality items possible. Some easy recommendations for high point counts include Milk

, Crystal fruit

Amaranth, cauliflower and pumpkin, as well as any kind of wine, tree fruit, deep sea fish or cave mushroom. Remember, higher quality is always better here – iridium is ideal, but gold and silver will do if you need to. The table below describes the intersection between quality and points.

Keep in mind that Any perks that change the sale price of certain items will also affect how they score in a grunge display. For example, if the player has the tiller skill in Stardew ValleyMost vegetables they put in the grunge display will score higher; The same goes for the fisherman skill and fish, or the artisan skill and no artisan goods.

Finally, there is variety: a grunge display is also judged based on the diversity of items included in it. There are eight categories to choose from, and Each category represented gains the player five points:

• Animal products
• Artisan goods
• Cooking
• Fish
• Flowers & Forage
• Fruit
• Minerals
• Vegetables

Now, with nine slots, a nine-point bonus for filling them, an eight-point maximum per item, and a thirty-point bonus for representing six or more categories, the maximum possible score for a grunge display is 125. However, Players will only need to score 90 points in order to win the grunge competition at the Stadium Valley fairAnd that’s easy to do with just a handful of high-quality items. If the player fills all nine slots and covers at least six categories, they only need eight items worth four points each, and one item worth five points, to take home the prize.

An easy, winning display that almost every player should be able to make, even in the first year, can include the following:

• No cheese

• Silver-quality
  Amaranth

• Silver-quality
  Sunflower

• Chanterelle

• Melon

• Emerald, ruby, fairy stone, opal, fluorapatite or jade

• Silver-quality salmon or largemouth bass

• Mead or pale ale

• Jelly (wild plum, strawberry, peach, orange, melon or grape) or wine (apple, blackberry, cherry, crystal fruit or cranberry)

But remember, There is a lot of flexibility here. If the player doesn’t have access to one of the ones listed above, but has an extra for another one, they can almost certainly trade it in, especially if it’s higher quality.

Stardew Valley Fair Rewards

Star tokens and how to spend them

For winning the Grange display competition, Players receive 1,000 Star TokensA unique currency that can only be spent during the Stadium Valley Fair. Pierre’s stand always stocks five separate items, but will also have a handful of random sundries drawn from a small pool.

either way, The single most important item available for purchase is the Stardrop

. Once the player purchases it, they will immediately eat it, giving them a permanent upgrade to their maximum energy. However, it costs 2,000 Star Tokens, so players will need to participate in some additional mini-games to afford it. The best way to do this is to bet a little less than half of the player’s total star tokens on green at the spinning wheel. Green comes up much more often, so doing this repeatedly can earn players more than enough tokens in a short amount of time.

Besides, for the collectors, Rarecrow #1 is also sold at the fair for 800 Star Tokens. The other permanent items – potted dried sunflowers, a fedora and a light green carpet – are unique to the fair, but can be saved for later years, unless the player really wants them. The random items, which might include Triple Shot Espresso, Pepper Poppers, a Glowstone Ring, 100 Hay, and 24 Mixed Seeds, are not necessary. But if the player has no leftover star tokens, it is best to spend them on absolutely anything, like Star tokens cannot be kept or spent after the fair.

Getting the grange display right can be intimidating, but with a little preparation, it’s not too difficult. With a stardrop on the line, the Fall Fair is one of the more rewarding seasonal events in Stardew ValleyAnd it is worth the effort – at least until the player can afford to buy the unique items in his store.
