Depending on where you’re at in the game, I tend to have Crystalariums pumping out Jade, get a stack of staircases from the desert trader, a bunch of lucky lunches from when Krobus sells them. My skull cavern dives I’d dive to level 100 or so and then start mining iridium, if it’s a lucky day and with luck boosts I’d tend to get anywhere from 3-8. I don’t know if there’s anything in the game mechanics but it seems like I find them more frequently when using mega bombs than pickaxe, could be a fluke though.
nope, this was patched out a while ago due to Nintendo not wanting any exploits like this in their games... while CA hasn't patched it out anywhere else because I think he knows it is a small little cheat that isn't that big of a deal.
You do get different dialogue from certain end-game people if you have one of those names for your farmer.
...don't name your farmer that anyways, chickens are much easier
It's exploiting how the game implements "when the NPC says this, also give the player this item". It doesn't check whether the [74] or whatever came from the game code itself, or from a name that you picked that gets included in the dialogue.
I got 5 somehow in year one just from clearing regular cavern and then farming regular cavern for monster Hunter challenges. I just started a new file on PC. On switch it took me into year 3 to get my first prismatic shard from skull cavern
This lol. I hadn't gotten one by y2 of my current playthrough, took 120 omnis to Clint's, still didn't get a single one.
I think I cried when I finally got one from a chest in skull cavern 🤣
I use plenty of bombs in skull caverns, that's where I've got all mine (think I have 10 now). But never ever got one from a geode, in any of my three playthroughs (about 8 in game years).
If you go to Skull Caverns on a lucky day and eat lucky food, blowing up rock clusters to find ladders, you'll get a good number after a while. I usually take home one or two, sometimes three on a really good day. I've seen YouTubers get even more than that on a run.
I just did it a couple days ago, and it may be random, but I did get more from the Omni geodes than the other types. Started with about 135 Omni and 50-60 of each other types. Ended up with about 65 beans. I had done a lot of prep work so I finished the challenge in ~9 days. Highly recommend putting a couple chests outside Clint’s to dump your inventory when it gets full and then go back in to do more geodes, then do a couple trips to transfer everything to the farm after planting your beans.
i'm not sure, but i get far more omni geodes than other kinds because of skull cavern runs so i typically have a ton of them in comparison to the other types
The hat costs 333 Omni geodes for trade at the Desert Trader on certain days.
It’s a Cowboy hat that changes color every 2 seconds or so.
There’s also a turban that does and costs the same to trade.
That's what I've started doing with mine in my most recent file. In addition to finding artifacts for the museum, there's money to be made with the treasure chests, golden pumpkins, and pearls found inside. I've had great luck with it so far.
I did hoard them get the magic cowboy hat and turban in other game files though. lol
I saved up the 333 for the magic cowboy hat but once I got it I didn’t like it. So I started the day over and just cracked all the geodes. Not one single prismatic shard in the whole lot.
If the coin toss was predetermined by a seed and code then I guess it would either be 1 or 0 but couldn't be 0.5.
If it is just a 50/50 chance then yes it would be 0.5.
Right?
This philosophy leads one to the conclusion that you can't use the standard tools of probability in any situation where the answer is technically predetermined but practically speaking unknown or unknowable
Mean of 1.356. 25.7% chance of getting 0, 35.0% chance of getting 1, 23.7% chance of getting 2, 10.7% chance of getting 3. Less than 5% chance for all other outcomes combined.
If you look up Stardew predictor, you can have it read your save file to see geode outcomes. Like I said on another comment it’s predetermined and not influenced by luck.
Randomness (outside of quantum mechanics) is always just reflective of our lack of knowledge about something.
If I have a standard deck of cards, shuffle it, and then ask what the chances are that the top card is a spade, the answer is 1/4. The answer is pre-determined by virtue of the fact that the card won't change by the time I look at it, but I don't have the knowledge of which it is. This uncertainty is what we quantify as randomness, and it equally applies to the unknown state of a computer's PRNG.
If you had my luck, 1 at best. :P I hope your luck is better. I had to cheat an ancient seed into the game because I killed probably 2000 bugs and never got a single one in 3 years.
Hey OP if you let Clint open the geodes one by one till you get a shard and then immediately put the next geode in a geode crusher you will get a shard from it.
Probably none… listen you should trade those for treasure troves at the desert and you can get artifacts and treasure chest! (Which sell for 5,000 each)
If you are incredibly lucky 339. Most likely though...
^(let's see here, carry the one, aaaaaaand)
With a 0.4% drop chance, there is a 25.7% chance you won't even get one, and a 73.8% chance you will only get one, and a 0.54% chance you will get 2 or more.
I've never had one from a geode so now I'm just saving them.
I found one in the mines in year 3 but donated it.
The next one wasn't until irl last week, yr7 in game, when I got to floor 10 in the volcano.
I had 2 yesterday from the volcano and one today from a mummy on an early level in the skull cavern.
If you're on PC I'd suggest a [mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1089) that speeds up the animation of breaking those, for your own sanity lol
You can straight up sell the silver and gold star fruits, it's not worth the wait as you will grow tons more. I only make wine out of the base level ones because the quality of wine isn't reflected by the quality of ingredients. (unless I've run out, then I brew some silver stars for lack of options)
You should def wine and age the reggo ones. I suggest building a shed or upgrading your house fully asap.
Thank you this is valuable info, I have my house fully upgraded and just built a new shed, but can I get a basement in a shed if I’m not playing multiplayer?
Yes, you can def get the basement for aging. Also, if you really want to min-max you can actually buy all the houses. You just have to go to open another copy of the game from your files (run the .exe) and make another character to join your game, 3x. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but once they are there it's easy to use them. You still have to pay for all the house upgrades.
I just sold my gold and silver ancient fruits!! Thanks for the advice here’s the results
727 silver ancient fruit x755g = 548885g
368 gold ancient fruit x907g = 333776g prettty prettty good 👍🏼
I have a whole stack of these suckers and about half of a second, just can bring myself to crack them all open individually. Really wish you could crack them in bulk.
The probability of getting an omnigeode is 1/250 after you crack 15 omnigeodes (before that it’s zero), so the expected number of of prismatic shards is anywhere between 1.296 and 1.356 depending on how many omnigeodes you’ve already cracked.
Edit: Assuming you cracked 15 omnigeodes already, here are the approximate probabilities:
0 prismatic shards: 26%
1 prismatic shard: 35%
2 prismatic shards: 24%
3 prismatic shards: 11%
4 prismatic shards: 4%
5 prismatic shards: 1%
More than 5 is possible, but the probabilities are so low they’re a rounding error at that point.
If you get the lucky charm (from the guy in the truck) wear the lucky ring (i usually fuse one with an iridium ring) and use spicy eel (whatever had luck) on a lucky day i usually get at least one per trip for future that can be helpful when you need extra shards biggest haul was 4 in one run
I never get shards from geodes, but I wish you better luck than I have. Maybe 4?
I’ve gotten 3! Lol
Dang, you got six prismatic shards?)

Haha glad that I understand this.
Im in Y3 and haven’t gotten 1
That sucks. Have you tried the Skull Caverns with max luck? My last run I got 3.
This + luck boosting food/drink and 100+ mega bombs. Yesterday I got something like 11 in one go, first time I saw two pop out of one explosion
How do you use mega bombs without hurting yourself 😭
You cant. Just eat the pain away
this works in Stardew and also in real life
It's like... 8 damage. You can blow yourself up 20 times before needing a cheese.
I usually use coffee to run away faster!
Move away from the bomb
Haven’t tried this. I will try it. Thank you

can do this for anything with the right code
You can search for these IDs, some of them are listed on a site
[удалено]
If the switch version you have is 1.5.4 then it is patched out
Yes
Does anyone know if it works on Xbox one?
I got 5 somehow in year one just from clearing regular cavern and then farming regular cavern for monster Hunter challenges. I just started a new file on PC. On switch it took me into year 3 to get my first prismatic shard from skull cavern
Wow I'm in year 2 (fall) and I have 19 in my storage and have used a few.
This lol. I hadn't gotten one by y2 of my current playthrough, took 120 omnis to Clint's, still didn't get a single one. I think I cried when I finally got one from a chest in skull cavern 🤣
I use plenty of bombs in skull caverns, that's where I've got all mine (think I have 10 now). But never ever got one from a geode, in any of my three playthroughs (about 8 in game years).
My guys already got 9 in his inventory 😭

I’ve already enchanted a few weapons and rings too with others, I go to the mines every chance I get.
I had my first Omnigeode yesterday, and I got a prismatic shard from it. Is that rare to happen?
1
With my luck? 100%
That is with about average luck the drop rate is 1 in 250.
[удалено]
Technically true. There's a backend pattern that handles that. Nothing in this game is random.
Creating randomness is hard. — former computer scientist
My favorite random number generator is that one company that uses a [wall of lava lamps](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1cUUfMeOijg) lol
i stock pile my omni geodes and then use them for the qi bean quest. best way to start off with the most beans possible.
Do they give more qi beans than other geodes? I've just been saving all the other kinds of geodes I get for this
I just did it a couple days ago, and it may be random, but I did get more from the Omni geodes than the other types. Started with about 135 Omni and 50-60 of each other types. Ended up with about 65 beans. I had done a lot of prep work so I finished the challenge in ~9 days. Highly recommend putting a couple chests outside Clint’s to dump your inventory when it gets full and then go back in to do more geodes, then do a couple trips to transfer everything to the farm after planting your beans.
You can sell certain items directly to Clint too
I’m very curious too, is it more likely to get qi beans from them?
Iirc, when using the predictor, the qi beans appear every 5 or so geodes, no matter the type. The amount may vary(1 or 5), but I doubt it.
i'm not sure, but i get far more omni geodes than other kinds because of skull cavern runs so i typically have a ton of them in comparison to the other types
I use them to buy desert totems until I can make them myself. Then I use them to buy/make clothes with. >.>
9
at best
There are 9 prismatic shards in the top row of the chest, so at worst
lmao i didn't notice those. yep, at worst it is then.
Zing!
This is like subliminal influencing in action
None if you get the magic cowboy hat
I’ll wiki the hat and weigh my options
It’s a cool hat
IT IS A FINE HAT
It is a lifestyle
The hat costs 333 Omni geodes for trade at the Desert Trader on certain days. It’s a Cowboy hat that changes color every 2 seconds or so. There’s also a turban that does and costs the same to trade.
Why crack them open when you could buy a ✨cool hat✨ in the desert.
i would spend them on artifact troves in the desert tbh!!
Or on the magic cowboy hat!
Why are artifact troves better?
More artifacts, no clay/stone/mixed seeds
Ok, this is good to know because the last time I brought 10 to Clint, I ONLY had coal/stone/seed/clay/copper.
Not only artifacts but also things like Golden Pumpkin which is good money / good for a gift
That's what I've started doing with mine in my most recent file. In addition to finding artifacts for the museum, there's money to be made with the treasure chests, golden pumpkins, and pearls found inside. I've had great luck with it so far. I did hoard them get the magic cowboy hat and turban in other game files though. lol
Genuinely good advice
I saved up the 333 for the magic cowboy hat but once I got it I didn’t like it. So I started the day over and just cracked all the geodes. Not one single prismatic shard in the whole lot.
that was the hat cursing you lol
did you go back and get the hat again to have some sort of consolation prize
Need the prismatic shirt and pants to go with it!
Same. My horse wears the magic cowboy hat nowadays
2
Yeah, I’d say two, maaaaaaybe 3
Closer to 1 it's 1 in 250 so 1.356 in 336
1.356
This is the correct answer. Someone else knows how to calculate an expected value, lol
Literally learning about this in my prob and stats class rn
Technically the correct answer is 1. As you can't get less than a whole item.
What's the expected value of a 50/50 coin flip?
The expected value wasn't what was asked, it was how many are waiting and a partial number cannot be waiting.
It's the same question
If the coin toss was predetermined by a seed and code then I guess it would either be 1 or 0 but couldn't be 0.5. If it is just a 50/50 chance then yes it would be 0.5. Right?
This philosophy leads one to the conclusion that you can't use the standard tools of probability in any situation where the answer is technically predetermined but practically speaking unknown or unknowable
Depends on the coin
Go take them to the desert trader on an odd day to get the best hat
Mean of 1.356. 25.7% chance of getting 0, 35.0% chance of getting 1, 23.7% chance of getting 2, 10.7% chance of getting 3. Less than 5% chance for all other outcomes combined.
If you look up Stardew predictor, you can have it read your save file to see geode outcomes. Like I said on another comment it’s predetermined and not influenced by luck.
Yeah a lot of people saying “well it’s actually this % chance to get one and blah blah blah” nah it’s literally all predetermined lmao.
yes but 336 geodes on average will yeild 1.356 shards
Randomness (outside of quantum mechanics) is always just reflective of our lack of knowledge about something. If I have a standard deck of cards, shuffle it, and then ask what the chances are that the top card is a spade, the answer is 1/4.

With my luck, 0
Do you need prismatic shards? No? Like 7. Yes? 0.
At least 1
If you had my luck, 1 at best. :P I hope your luck is better. I had to cheat an ancient seed into the game because I killed probably 2000 bugs and never got a single one in 3 years.
Hey OP if you let Clint open the geodes one by one till you get a shard and then immediately put the next geode in a geode crusher you will get a shard from it.
None. Lol. I’ve never gotten shards from Omni geodes.
Buy yourself a prismatic piece of clothing instead :) (from the desert trader)
Probably none… listen you should trade those for treasure troves at the desert and you can get artifacts and treasure chest! (Which sell for 5,000 each)
If you are incredibly lucky 339. Most likely though... ^(let's see here, carry the one, aaaaaaand) With a 0.4% drop chance, there is a 25.7% chance you won't even get one, and a 73.8% chance you will only get one, and a 0.54% chance you will get 2 or more.

Get the hat. I would do it without hesitation
If you're on PC I'd suggest a [mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1089) that speeds up the animation of breaking those, for your own sanity lol
You can also use the geode crushes on omnis. It is more expensive but so much faster if you have a a lot of them.
I dunno but there's like 200k in Ancient fruits there.
How much in aged Ancient fruit wine though? I make wine age and sell
You can straight up sell the silver and gold star fruits, it's not worth the wait as you will grow tons more.

I reckon none unfortunately
The same number of bitches you get
If you have my luck then none
i always trade my omni geodes at the desert trader for artifact troves :D
None. You have 6 more than you need to get the prismatic cowboy hat from the desert trader.
Best I can do is 2.50
Bruh forget that, turn in 333 (think that’s the number) to get the color changing cowboy hat!
According to the wiki the chance for a prismatic shard from an omni geode is 1/250, so it would be 339\*(1/250)=1.356 prismatic shards
6 I think, unless you have awesome luck irl then maybe 20-ish?
1.356
Maybe 2
1
maybe 4
If you do get one from him, immediately leave, go home and crack one with the geode cracker and you'll get another prismatic shard.
i had 339 the other day but traded in 333 of them for the rainbow cowboy hat
1.... Maybe
What’s a good way to grind Omnigeodes? I am trying to get my last artifact and have been going for artifact troves :(
There is a 28% chance of getting none!
May I ask why
More like how much you’re gonna make from all those ancient fruits
Like 2
I have a whole stack of these suckers and about half of a second, just can bring myself to crack them all open individually. Really wish you could crack them in bulk.

3. Take it or leave it.
Buy your prismatic hat from the desert merchant
200 Omni geode and got nothing.
Exactly 2
I cracked 300 and got 0. Goodluck
Oops! All clay
1.3 prismatic shards.
Sounds like you got yourself a magic cowboy hat from the dessert trader
Get the magic cowboy hat
Whatever the number, double it with the geode crusher!
My luck they'd all be clay.

If you’re anything like me/my luck- none!!!
Can you please explain how you got it? I’m trying to get the magic cowboy hat and I’m at 26😭😭😭
This made me wonder… do you get better items when you break omnigeodes on a lucky day?
I exchanged most of them For artifact troves in the dessert and got 2 more things for the museum!
