The gameplay of Stardew Valley commences with players relocating to the countryside, armed only with a few secondhand tools and a modest amount of gold. From cultivating crops and tending to livestock, to engaging in fishing and gathering resources from the mines, the game adeptly guides players on the path to constructing a farm from the ground up, providing a flawless demonstration of where to embark on their agricultural journey.
In Stardew Valley, tools play a vital role in the realm of agriculture, fishing, and even mining. As the game progresses, players must enhance their tools to maximize efficiency. They have the option to repair their damaged tools or upgrade them at the local blacksmith's forge.
Where to Find the Blacksmith in Stardew Valley
Clint owns and operates the blacksmith shop, situated east of the town, beyond the river. Players must cross the river to discover a quaint, traditionally designed structure located slightly north of the museum. This building also serves as Clint's residence, where he sleeps in a small bedroom situated at the rear.
Clint's blacksmith shop is open every day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except on Fridays. On Fridays, Clint heads to the restored Community Center and spends the day in the boiler room.
