Stardew Valley's dungeons and mines may seem daunting at first, but they hold some of the game's most valuable treasures. One of these treasures is the Golden Spur—a unique item every adventurer should seek. It can be sold for 1,000 gold and grants a speed boost each time you land a critical hit on an enemy.
Getting the Golden Spur takes patience, persistence, and a fair bit of luck, as it can only be found in specific locations under certain conditions. If you aim to maximize your combat potential with this rare item, this guide will show you exactly where to look.
How to Get the Golden Spur
Golden Spur is a rare and most desired trinket in Stardew Valley because of its unique ability to grant a speed boost with every critical hit on an enemy. When equipped, it provides a crucial advantage in Stardew’s more challenging dungeons that make combat smoother and faster. Plus, even if you decide not to use it, it can be sold for 1,000g.
To unlock his trinket, you will have to unlock the combat mastery, which is again hard to achieve but worth your effort. You are ready to go hunting once you have unlocked the combat mastery. Here’s how you can increase your odds of obtaining this helpful item in Stardew Valley.
Defeat Monsters for Drop
Once you have unlocked Combat Mastery, trinkets like the Golden Spur will become available as a drop from monsters. Head to areas where you can find more enemies, such as the Mines, Skull Cavern, or Quarry Mine, to increase your odds. To further increase the drop rates, equip gears that boost your luck.
Break Crates and Barrels for Hidden Loot
Crates and barrels aren’t just decorative; they often contain rare and valuable items. In the Mines and Skull Cavern, smash every crate and barrel you find. Doing so boosts your chances of discovering rare treasures, including the Golden Spur.
Treasure Rooms in Skull Cavern
The Skull Cavern's treasure rooms are among the best spots for trinket hunting. Look for chests containing rare items on floors where Treasure Rooms appear, including the Golden Spur. Skull Cavern offers a good chance to find rare treasures, making it worth exploring.
Maximize Luck for Best Drop Rates
Daily luck significantly affects your drop rate for rare items in Stardew Valley. Start each morning by checking your luck with the Fortune Teller. On high-luck days, head to the Mines or Skull Cavern for the best chance at finding trinkets. You can also complete Secret Note #20 to earn a Special Charm, granting a permanent daily luck boost.
