A player of Stardew Valley has taken the community by surprise with an impressive personal challenge: obtaining and purchasing the game’s Gold Clock solely by concocting and marketing mayonnaise. This remarkable accomplishment has not only impressed fellow players but also showcased the myriad ways Stardew Valley can be enjoyed.
Within the game, players are presented with various avenues to generate wealth, often through producing and selling artisan goods. While mayonnaise is one such product, few would rely on it exclusively to amass a fortune. However, that’s precisely what this player set out to achieve.
Player MysticMarbles documented their journey to acquire Stardew Valley’s coveted Gold Clock. While reaching this milestone is typically a lengthy process, MysticMarbles managed to amass the required 10 million gold by solely selling mayonnaise, apart from six eggs sold initially to gather the necessary materials for their first Mayonnaise Machine. All told, this endeavor spanned three in-game years, concluding on Winter 18.
Breaking Down the Stardew Valley Mayo Achievement
There’s no denying that this feat wasn’t an easy task. By the end of this marathon, MysticMarbles operated either 12 or 13 coops, housing nearly 400 chickens in total. Their farm boasted a staggering 450 Mayonnaise Machines. Keeping this vast poultry operation in check, MysticMarbles spent significant time acquiring 4,000-5,000 units of hay for their chickens every 10 days. Ultimately, they estimate raking in between 28 million and 32 million gold, although not all was pure profit due to significant expenses on essential supplies for both the chickens and mayonnaise production.
Games often challenge players in myriad ways, yet enthusiasts frequently go beyond the intended scope, crafting their own immersive experiences. These self-imposed gaming challenges can become all-consuming, but the gaming community often stands in awe of such dedicated players. While MysticMarbles is relieved to have completed their journey, suggesting they might not revisit such unusual challenges soon, it’s likely only a matter of time before another player attempts a similarly impressive feat.
