Stardew Valley Honeydale Farm 64 - Prismatic Shard!
Channel: Honeywell
Date: 2017-03-22

Fall 21 Year 1  We have a banner day! The mystic stone in the quarry yields a prismatic shard which we take to the desert to obtain our Galaxy Sword. With our new gold pickaxe and Galaxy sword we pick up two more iridium bars from the Skull Caverns. About the series (show more):

My Stardew Valley Let's Play is a relaxed (for me) playthrough.   I'm familiar with the game, use the wiki liberally, skip cut scenes and can't help but play efficiently with an eye towards strategy.  It's not specifically a tutorial series but if you're new to Stardew Valley I imagine you'd learn a lot.  

Making the most money is not my ultimate goal for Honeydale Farm - a pretty and profitable farm that's fun to play is what I hope to end up with.  Questions, tips and feedback are always welcome.

QUARRY
The Quarry consists of a large area with a wide selection of rocks and ore deposits that are randomly generated upon creation, and will continue to generate new deposits each day.

You gain access to the Quarry upon completion of the Crafts Room in the Community Center which rewards you with the Bridge Repair. If you go the Joja Corporation route you can repair the bridge for 25,000g.

The Quarry can spawn all ore nodes and you can find all of the geode types in the game.  Iridium and Mystic Stone deposits are rare. 

PRISMATIC SHARD
The Prismatic Shard is one of the rarest items in the game. It can be obtained from Omni Geodes (0.004%), Iridium Nodes, Mystic Stones (this is where we got our prismatic shard), Gem Nodes and Fishing Treasure Chests (requires fishing level 6+). It is also a rare drop from Serpents (0.001%), Mummies (0.001%), Shadow Brutes (0.0005%), Shadow Shamans (0.0005%), and Wilderness Golems. Prismatic Shards cannot be duplicated in a Crystalarium.

A Prismatic Shard can be used in the Desert to obtain the Galaxy Sword. A bug exists where multiple Prismatic Shards will be removed from the inventory if they are all in the same stack.  A Prismatic Shard can also be offered to the Dark Shrine at the Witch's Hut, in order to turn children into doves (getting rid of them permanently). 

EXPLOIT
The 75th wallpaper (lightgreen color) from the Catalogue you buy at Pierre's General Store for 30,000g works just like a pristmatic shard.  You can gift it and use it to obtain the Galaxy Sword.

GALAXY SWORD

Level 26
Damage 60-80
Speed +4

The Galaxy can be obtained by taking a Prismatic Shard to the Three Pillars in the Calico Desert. While holding the shard, enter the center tile between the three pillars. The Prismatic Shard will be consumed.

After obtaining a Galaxy Sword, players will not be able to use a Prismatic Shard to obtain another. If it's lost, players must purchase another from Marlon for 50,000g.  Obtaining a Galaxy Sword unlocks the Galaxy Hammer and Galaxy Dagger in the Adventurer's Guild shop.
