Mining and combat in Stardew Valley can get really overwhelming and stressful, especially if you see every other guide out there which pushes you try and reach the bottom of the mines as quickly as possible.
This is unlike any other tutorial. Instead of trying to stress you out with what you SHOULD do, I only tell you what's available in the game and encourage you take things at your own pace.
Prepare to mine in Stardew Valley the way you want to: as relaxed as possible.
This guide is up to date with the 1.6 changes

Just want to say how much I appreciate these guides, stardew valley always triggered my OCD and prevented me from getting anywhere unless it was the MOST efficient way, you have proven my brain wrong... thank you Mo

Okay but that short intro makes me want to present you with a challenge: A guide on cozy-doing the arcade games.

I just started playing a week ago and have binged your other guide videos. I can't tell you how excited I am to see that you uploaded a new one! Great content ❤

PERFECT timing. I just finished the Pelican Town mines and I had a lot of problems with the lava levels so I'm kind of terrified of the Skull Caverns. Need to go back some floors and do some slime killing so I can get that ring.

The single thing that made my time in the mines relaxed was stacking defense. It's relatively easy to get enough defense through boots+weapons+rings+food that enemies will only do a single point of damage. If you take this to the extreme with forging, ring combining, etc., then the only enemies doing more than 1 point of damage are the only the toughest enemies in the dangerous skull caverns. Crabshell+slime charmer, crabshell+iridium band, and you no longer have to worry about regular enemies harming you. Grab a fairy trinket and/or forge vampiric onto your weapon and you won't even have to think about healing or taking food with you on skull cavern runs

I just finished the relaxing year one video and was so delighted to see this one recommended! It’s exactly what I needed, the combat aspect stresses me out so much. This guide makes it feel doable! Currently working on getting my insect head sword :)

This has so many good tips, thank you. I feel very lucky because I’m week 2 of summer in the first year I got a Neptune Sword from a fishing treasure box. It has made combat so much easier but I didn’t know you could block. I’m still on year one so it’s cool to see what to look forward to.

Also the hill farm design looks nice.

I find a lot of noobs are uninformed or misinformed on passing out and/or getting knocked out. Always in such a rush to go home and to bed. Think if they don't make it home they will lose items. Don't know the 10 percent up to 1000g (more at the volcano) and if you level up no next day energy penalty. 1.6 getting knocked out is much less severe. I think its capped at 3 items now? If you have no money. You can't lose any. And they don't know or remember the item recovery service and just resetting the day. And if your in the Skull Cavern its makes more sense to pass out most of the time. No penalty in pausing. Taking a breather and forming a plan.

So I came to this guide because I’m so scared of the mines but want to continue progressing and facing my fears. I did NOT realize how rare it was to find a prismatic shard early game. I actually got one when I was like level 30 in the mines and unlocked the quarry through the community center. I was cherry-bombing my way through the quarry when I saw a prismatic shard drop. My saving grace T-T but I think these tips will all still help since I can’t always count on it early
