Even with the substantial startup time ancient fruit feels more like a money hack than anything.

Once again, has anyone noticed that when you sell stuff to pierre, that if you sell enough, that he sells it at the store? does anyone know why this is?

I'm almost positive that doesn't happen, though I may be wrong. I believe he just has a set list of stuff to sell that changes from year to year.

No, he does. I remember selling a batch of blueberries to him and there were blueberries in his stock for the rest of the season, or possibly for around four weeks? He stopped selling them eventually. I never bought one, so I don't know if I could get more out than I put in.

I wonder if that only applies if you sell it to him directly? I've never seen that but I ship 99.9% of things I sell via the box (mostly because seeing the "HOLY poo poo MONEY :pcgaming:" screen at night is awesome).

I don't know if it has much utility, but it's a nice bit of flavour material. I mean, of course he sells on the stuff that you as a farmer sell to him, he's a shopkeeper, that's his job. I think you have to sell it to him directly though, stuff in the bin is exported I guess.

Am I right in thinking that once you've got a galaxy sword and more iridium bars than you will ever be able to use, there's no reason to ever go back down into the Skull Cave except for personal amusement? There's nothing else in particular down there that isn't just as easy to get elsewhere, right?

Do people who sell through the bin ever get villagers commenting on buying your crops at Pierre's? I sell to Pierre and I get that pretty regularly.

Keep in mind selling directly to merchants doesn't give you completion on your stats page for "shipping" an item.

Yep. I think it may have something to do with 'luck' - on unlucky days, you don't get many drops, and tree seeds are considered drops maybe?

If you sell to Pierre, he will occasionally continue to sell stuff out of season. For example, I've been able to buy gold star Leek and Parsnips from him all the way through fall. This can be useful at random times, like when you don't have the right poo poo for someone's birthday, like George loving Leek.

It might be somewhat luck based, check the fortune teller on TV the days it seems lovely.

I don't think I've ever seen this, which sucks, because I sell a ton of stuff through Pierre.

It starts as an artifact you pick up in the mines, Gunther gives you the pattern and a starter seed. It can also show up in a seed maker from other crops on a low chance.

Okay, I guess I don't have any luck then. I've cleared the first set of mines (and got enough artifacts to get sewer key) and haven't seen the gypsy sell it either. I guess I just gotta run the lower levels and keep checking the gypsy?

I sold some gold star melons to Pierre, and a few days later when I spoke to Linus he said he'd bought the tastiest melon at Pierre's, and that Pierre had said he grew them in his own back yard. This was in the middle of winter. Just one more reason to hate Pierre I guess :v:

So that means Pierre just chucked the melon in the garbage as soon as it was given to him.

Speaking of that, are items you found in the garbage cans marked somehow? Every time I've tried giving one as a gift the person has complained a lot about it. It could just be that they hated that particular item of course.

The same place you buy from them. Just click on stuff in your inventory that's not grayed out to sell it. There is no take back though, so don't gently caress up.

They are locked into the good types they sell, so Pierre won't buy ore/gems, etc. You can also sell weapons/boots to the guild this same way.

Did you give Haley a bouquet before you got married? I get the impression this is what's causing the issue. I've never had this problem and I always give presents to the other characters you can marry, but I also didn't give them bouquets.

Then no, I don't think it's tagged. The person probably just didn't like bread. Who'd you give it to?

EDIT: Hmm, the wiki says everyone likes bread.

Nope. I have in fact never given Haley anything before. Though I did give her an amethyst.

Your spouse will yell at you the first time you give a gift to another eligible bachelor(ette). It might come with a penalty; I noticed a heart missing after it happened, but it could just have been normal decay for the day too. Easy enough to fix even if it does, though.
