by Raspberries are a spring collection object from Stardew Valley that will only appear for a few days each year and the truth is that in its season I highly recommend that you collect it because one way or the other, it will come out quite profitable thing.
And it is that either to earn a fairly decent amount of money based on jams or as a very simple source to obtain to recover our health and energy, in both cases I will show you all the benefits that you can get from this fruit. You will see how when you finish reading this post you will begin to value them much more, because they really are amazing.
HOW TO GET RASPBERRIES IN STARDEW VALLEY
From the outset, comment that these will only appear on the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th of Spring , so keep an eye on the date. You can find them every day randomly in the bushes that are everywhere in Stardew Valley (they are easy to see because they will have many red dots).
The number of Raspberries you get from each bush will depend on your character’s Gathering level. Initially you will only get one for each bush, but this will improve in the following levels:
- Level 4: 2 Raspberries/Bush
- Level 8: 3 Raspberries / Bush
- Level 12: 4 Raspberries / Bush
How about level 12? You can temporarily raise your Gathering level with some foods:
- Pancakes : Egg Flour + Wheat (+2 Gather).
- Recipe for sale in the Hall of Starfruit.
- Autumn Loot : Yam + Pumpkin (+2 Gathering +2 Defense).
- It is obtained with friendship from Demetrius.
- Burger : Bread + Cavern Carrot + Eggplant (+3 Gathering).
- You get it at Gathering level 2.
- Tropical Curry : Coconut + Pineapple + Chile (+4 Collection).
- You can get the recipe at the Ginger Island Spa.
HOW MUCH ENERGY AND HEALTH CAN WE GET FROM RASPBERRIES?
The fact is that depending on the level of Gathering and how intense you put yourself in the search for them, you will get more or less Raspberries. Let’s assume that you get 300 in total , a number that is not unreasonable at all because you can really get many more if you take it seriously and have a good Gathering level.
I will put the data ordered in rarity, from lowest to highest:
- Energy of 1 Raspberry: 25 – 35 – 45 – 65
- Health of 1 Raspberry: 11 – 15 – 20 – 29
- Energy of 300 Raspberries: 7.5K – 10.5K – 13.5K – 19.5K
- Health of 300 Raspberries: 3.3K – 4.5K – 6K – 8.7K
As you can see, the thing spreads quite a bit, since assuming you buy 300 Raspberries (I insist, you can get many more if you put your mind to it) you would have an equivalent of between 7.5K and 19.5K of energy and between 3.3K and 8.7K of health; not so bad
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN WE GET THROUGH RASPBERRY JAM?
Again we will assume that we collect the not at all exaggerated amount of 300 Raspberries. But… first of all clarify that we are going to cut to the chase and give the price of the benefits that we will obtain by selling the Raspberry Jam since it is the way in which we will obtain greater profitability with this fruit.
Selling them “a palo seco” gives very little money and in case you are wondering why we don’t make wine with them, basically we prefer jam because this is one of the few fruits that makes jam more widely . So nothing, clarified this, let’s go with the results (first value is the normal sale, the second is with the Artisan buff that is +40% of money obtained with craft items):
- Price of 1 Raspberry Jam: 60 – 84
- Price of 300 Raspberry Jams: 18K – 25.2K
You see that’s not bad, although the price per pot of Jam is not that much… it ends up being quite a lot given how easy it is to get lots and lots of Raspberries this season. If you get more on top, which is very likely, then you will get even more money with them. In addition, we must bear in mind that we do not have to invest absolutely anything in them since they will simply spam by themselves on the indicated dates, so it is pure and simple benefit (the only real investment would be the time you lose in that season to collect them, but come on, in my opinion the thing rents a lot).
WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM THEN?
Depending on what you need most, as you can see they are a good source of health, energy and even money if you make Jam with them. In the beginning I would tell you that it is better that you use them to replenish your energy and health since in the beginning it is undoubtedly one of the best sources in that sense and at the end of the day you will be able to get lots of it very easily and practically at the beginning of your game.
When you are more advanced, that there you will have many more options in terms of energy and others (and surely enough money to buy food that is even better than Raspberries such as Salad), well, you know, you make Jam and what you get .
And if none of this convinces you, well, you can always give the jam to almost all the characters since it is one of the “universally liked objects”. In fact, everyone will like it except Sebastián, so nothing, he loses it.
