Stardew Valley Player Makes Others Jealous By Getting Four Copies Of An Extremely Rare Item In One Day

One Stardew Valley player has caused a stir within the game’s community after posting a series of images showing they obtained four Auto-Petters in a single day while exploring the mines. The Auto-Petter is a sought-after item due to its ability to automatically pet farm animals, which improves their mood and friendship levels without having to remember to visit them each day.

Reddit user Rabanico's post showcased four separate screenshots depicting the player receiving an Auto-Petter from treasure chests found within the mines. The rarity of this occurrence, combined with the valuable function of the item, has attracted a lot of attention from other Stardew Valley players to the post. Many comments were supportive and shocked at the rare finds, but also a bit jealous of Rabanico's exceptional luck.

The reaction to Rabanico’s post really shows how much luck plays a part in Stardew Valley. Obtaining four Auto-Petters in a single day is statistically improbable, with a 3.6% chance of finding just one in Skull Cavern. It's so unlikely that it took one player 1500 hours to get one. The thread became a hub for players to share their experiences with the game’s random number generator.

Several players commented on the game’s tendency to award unwanted seed types like parsnip, garlic, or broccoli seeds instead of more valuable items. User blackjackandcoke88 summed up the experience of the unlucky with, "So jealous, I have three farms I play through and haven’t gotten an auto petter on a single one." It highlights how players are subject to the whims of random chance while traversing the mines in search of an Auto Petter of their own.

Rabanico's incredible luck with the Auto-Petters is a reminder of how unpredictable and surprising Stardew Valley can be. It’s a stark contrast to the experiences of many players, like user cun7isinthesink, who had a lucky desert run crash before being able to save, then had a terrible next run when it came to rare finds.This directly contrasts with the player who had a startling realization about the Rabbit's Foot, discovering it was not lucky at all.

My luck in the game has always fluctuated. One day, I'm pulling up multiple ancient seeds from artifact spots; the next, I'm only getting geodes. I find that the variability is what keeps the game alive, and I'd rather have that fluctuation than always be lucky. Either way, these moments are what make Stardew Valley so replayable and leave players with the hope of one day having their own stroke of extraordinary luck.
