The townspeople are the heart of the Town. They each have their own different routines and personalities. Here’s a list of some notable NPCs:

Each season in the game brings new opportunities for foraging and exploration:

• Spring: Gather items like Wild Horseradish and Daffodils.
• Summer: Find Sweet Peas and Spice Berries.
• Fall: Forage for Blackberries and Common Mushrooms.
• Winter: Dig up Winter Roots and Snow Yams.

Improving your Foraging skill unlocks crafting recipes and professions that enhance gameplay.

Fishing in the Town is a fun and easy way to spend your day. You can catch different fish in each season, like the Angler and Ms. Angler, by fishing in rivers, lakes, or the ocean. Some fishing spots have special fish, and if you upgrade your fishing rod, it’s easier to catch rare ones. Using bait or tackle can also help you catch fish faster.

You can use the fish you catch to cook yummy meals, give as gifts to your friends, or sell them for money. Some fish are also needed to complete special bundles at the Community Center. As you fish more, you’ll get better at it and unlock cool things to make fishing even more fun!

Pelican Town is full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Artifacts are special items that can be:

• Dug up from artifact spots (marked by worms wriggling in the ground).
• Found while fishing in ponds, rivers, or the ocean.
• Collected in mines by breaking rocks or defeating monsters.

These artifacts can be donated to the Museum, where Gunther rewards your efforts with useful items like furniture, seeds, and the Rusty Key (used to unlock the Sewers). Some examples of artifacts include:

• Rusty Spoon: A simple, old spoon.
• Prehistoric Rib: A bone from an ancient creature.
• Ancient Drum: A small drum used in ancient music.

Hunting for artifacts is a fun way to learn about the valley’s history while earning exciting rewards!

Unlock these hidden mysteries of the Town to gain rare rewards:

• Seasonal Weeds and Trees: Certain areas regrow vegetation every Spring.
• Fishing Surprises: Catch unique items like a Decorative Trash Can.
• Trash Bear Event: In Year 3, Trash Bear appears in Cindersap Forest, requesting items to clean up the town.

Pelican Town is a lively place with lots to do and discover! Follow the daily schedules of the villagers to make friends and unlock special events. Talking to them and giving them gifts they love will help you learn more about their stories.

Don’t forget to attend festivals—they’re full of fun activities and rewards! Explore the town every day to collect hidden items, forage for wild plants, and catch fish. Every corner of the Town has something special waiting for you, so take your time and create your own exciting Stardew Valley adventure!
