[icon] Scrying Orb

a Stardew Valley mod by kdau

Craft a Scrying Orb with a recipe from Welwick and you too can peer into the future. Make an offering to the spirits to scry mining conditions, geode contents, rare events or garbage loot.

This mod is based on the Stardew Predictor web app by MouseyPounds, whose tools are all worth a look. Its companion mod, Public Access TV, offers a different route to much of the same information for the current game day.

Contents

Compatibility

This version of Scrying Orb is compatible with Stardew Valley 1.4.x. When SDV 1.5 is released, some of this mod's predictions will start being wrong. I'll put out a new version at that point.

This mod should work on Linux, Mac, Windows and Android.

There are no known problems with multiplayer use. Every player should install the mod, even if they are not using the Scrying Orb.

There are no known conflicts with other mods. Scrying Orb fully supports the following:

When one of the following mods is installed, the related predictions are disabled because they would not be accurate:

If any of your other mods affect the areas this mod covers, the orb may make incorrect predictions. If you would like me to add support for another mod, please open an issue on GitLab or on the Nexus page.

Installation

  1. Install the latest version of SMAPI.
  2. Install the Json Assets mod.
  3. Download this mod from its Nexus page or ModDrop page.
  4. Unzip the mod and place both the ScryingOrb and [JA]ScryingOrb folders inside your Mods folder.
  5. Run the game using SMAPI.

Use

The day after you reach two hearts of friendship with the Wizard, you will receive a letter in the mail from his colleague Welwick the diviner (from the "Fortune Teller" TV channel). If you already have two or more hearts of friendship with the Wizard, the letter will arrive the first day you play with the mod installed.

Welwick's letter will give you the recipe for crafting the Scrying Orb. Craft the orb with 3 Refined Quartz (for the orb) and 10 Stone (for the pedestal). You can place it anywhere that is convenient, indoors or outdoors. A pickaxe or axe is needed to pick it up again.

To commune with the spirits, offer the orb an item that is connected with the subject you want to know about. Invalid offerings will be rejected without being consumed. A few very valuable offerings will give you an (in-game) week of unlimited scrying without further offerings.

You can figure out the appropriate items as you go, like giving gifts. If you're in a hurry, check the topics below to see what is accepted.

Mines and caverns

Learn what floors of the mines and caverns will have monster infestations or valuable caches on any day in the next year. Must have entered the mines.

Offerings
  • 5 Copper Ore
  • 3 Iron Ore
  • Gold Ore
  • Iridium Ore
  • 2 Coal

Geode treasures

Learn what will be found inside the next three geodes of any type, or the next 10 geodes of a particular type. Must have cracked at least one geode.

Offerings

Nocturnal occurrences

Learn what strange events may occur over upcoming nights, or when a particular strange event may next occur.

Offerings
  • 3 Bat Wing
  • Void Egg
  • Void Essence
  • Void Mayonnaise
  • Void Salmon

Garbage finds

Learn what items will be found in garbage cans on any day in the next year. Must have looked in at least one can.

Offerings
  • 3 Broken CD
  • 3 Broken Glasses
  • 3 Driftwood
  • 3 Joja Cola
  • 3 Rotten Plant
  • 3 Soggy Newspaper
  • 3 Trash

Week of unlimited use

(For farmhands in multiplayer, this will work for the current day only.)

Offerings
  • Golden Pumpkin
  • Magic Rock Candy
  • Pearl
  • Prismatic Shard
  • Treasure Chest

Other

There is a particular item which will get a special reaction from the spirits. You probably know which one I mean.

Configuration

The first time you run the mod, it will generate a config.json file in its main folder (Mods/ScryingOrb). Three options are available:

  • InstantRecipe: Set this to true to give the Scrying Orb crafting recipe immediately instead of needing two hearts with the Wizard.
  • UnlimitedUse: Set this to true to have the Scrying Orb work without taking offerings permanently.
  • InaccuratePredictions: Set this to true to let the spirits make predictions that are inaccurate due to the presence of conflicting mods. For entertainment purposes only.

Translation

This mod can be translated into any language supported by Stardew Valley. It is currently available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese.

Your contribution would be welcome. Please see the details on the wiki for help. You can send me your work in an issue on GitLab, on Nexus or by DM on Discord.
