Stardew Valley/Secret Notes

50% developed
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

Secret notes are found by doing various activities throughout Stardew Valley after a certain point in the game, when the Magnifying Glass is obtained by following the footprints in the snow during Winter.

# Description
1 A list of items Abigail loves from her diary: Amethyst, Carved Pumpkin, Chocolate Cake, Spicy Eel, Blackberry Cobbler.
2 A shopping list by Sam of favorite items for a number of characters.

Sebastian likes the gem Frozen Tear and the food Sashimi.

Penny likes the gem Emerald and the Poppy flower.

Vincent likes Cranberry Candy and Grapes. Grapes can easily be foraged when the time is right, so it's recommended that you stock up and distribute them over time.

Kent likes Risotto and Roasted Hazelnuts.

Jodi likes Pancakes and Crispy Bass

Sam himself likes Pizza, Cactus, and Maple Bars. Pizza is easily obtained from the Stardrop Saloon.

3 A note from Leah describing her perfect dinner. Items include Wine, Truffle, Goat Cheese, Salad, and Poppyseed Muffin.


Of these, Salad is the easiest to obtain, as it can simply be purchased from Gus. A late game farm can easily produce most of the other items.

4 Maru's list of items wanted for an invention, which include Gold Bar, Iridium Bar, Battery Pack, Diamond, and Strawberries.


Of these items, Gold Bar is most easily generally obtained year round without an advanced farm. Strawberries are the best item to give seasonally, and should be stockpiled to avoid giving more expensive items. Farms with appropriate equipment can mass produce Diamonds, Battery Packs, and even Iridium Bars, but these valuable items should generally be saved for your own use.

5 Penny has a list of loved items for a number of people:

Pam's list includes Glazed Yams, and Parsnip. Penny notes not to get her Beer, which not only hints that Pam loves beer, but also that Penny hates beer.

George likes Fried Mushrooms and Leeks. Of these Leeks can easily be foraged, so stock up and dole them out for a free loved gift.

Evelyn likes Tulip flowers and beets.

Jas Likes Plum Pudding and Fairy Rose.

Vincent likes Pink Cake and Grapes.

6 A note, apparently by Gus, listing special orders at the Stardrop Saloon.

Lewis orders Autumn's Bounty

Marnie orders Pumpkin Pie

Caroline orders Fish Taco

Demetrius orders Bean Hotpot

7 A diary page discussing bachelors in town. It includes items they like.

Shane likes Pizza, Beer, and Pepper Poppers

Harvey likes Pickles and Coffee.

Elliott likes Pomegranates and Crab Cakes

8 A note to Emily and Haley from their parents.

This note reveals that Emily is partial to Wool and Gemstones.

This note reveals that Haley is partial to Sunflowers and Pink Cake.

Note: One item comes from the farm, and the other comes from crafting or mining.

9 A note on Alex's Diet. He likes protein rich food including Complete Breakfast and Salmon Dinner.
10 Mr. QI is on level 100 in the skull mines. Reaching it for the first time will permamently increase your max health by 25.

12 A list of good dumpster diving spots, and what can be found there on lucky days.

Cans by the Museum and Blacksmith on the east side of town sometimes include treasure.

Cans by George and Evelyn Mullner's House often have dessert.

The can at the Stardrop Saloon sometimes includes the "Dish of the day"

As always, be sure that you are not seen by other characters while dumpster diving.
