I was chatting through Whatsapp Web before, so I disabled Global Keys (I split with spacebar), that's why I've got delayed with the timer. But I counted how many seconds were: 9 seconds.
So yeah, I'm really happy with this run. My hypotesis is that you can skip winter year 1 because it's more probable to encounter Duck Feather/Truffle/Rabbit Foot in Spring/Summer/Fall in Year 2 or 3. So I think if I were brave enough to test this idea in this run, I'd have subbed probably 1h55min (or less).
I wish I've got luckier in mines, but it's okay. :)
Also not upgrading axe saves TONS of time. I was amazed by the fact I bought Fiddlehead Fern in the travelling cart.
I have a second hypotesis: If you reset 5 times, in the 6th, 7th or 8th game, you'll have an amazing RNG for this category. I don't know but I tested this idea with Stardew Predictor and it usually worked. This was the 7th run, and for my surprise I was right that it was a run with great RNG.
To clarify: I did NOT read the game seed.. Stardew Predictor is a tool that I used for figuring out how many resets should I do. After that, I reseted 5/6 times. That's all.
Also shout out to possum who made this route! He's awesome.
Alright folks, it's been a week since 1.6 dropped and it's already been a wild start! So many new mechanics, QoL fixes, and general nonsense. We're going to start lifting the embargo here on 1.6 runs, sometime tonight the options should populate on SRC and you'll be able to select the new version. W
