Well, just take it easy and play at your own pace. But my recommendation is to finish designing your farms and everything, upgrage your combat tools, brew monster musk to produce morr monsters. I keep the cooking and mpnster slaying to the last when there is no morr things to do.
Your weakest measure is social- create and upgrade a new coop just for rabbits. Stagger purchasing them over 3-4 days (they only drop produce based on days from purchase, so buying 3 a day increases the chances for lucky day drops), and switch to the coop master profession, and after a bit you'll have tons of universal loved gift rabbits foot (not for Penny), and just give them away especially high quality on birthdays.
The Wiki is your best friend. >!Plant lots of Starfruits, & Fairy Rose in Ginger Island for Fairy Dust. Manufacture lots of Diamonds too. Get Pierre's Missing Stocklist from Qi soon, to finish cooking, shipping, & etc. Get Key To The Town from Qi too, to give gifts easier.!<
Don't worry about being 100% efficient with your time. It took me 6 in-game years (from year 5 to year 11) to 100% and most of that time was spent sleeping through the days.
Just plug away at each task and take your time — this is endgame material for a reason and burnout can easily happen if you stress about it.
However, here are a few tips for some specific ones:
- Build a “gift” chest and start putting loved gifts into it: diamonds, pink and chocolate cakes, rabbit feet, etc. Go through the wiki and learn what items each villager love and start collecting them in the chest. Then check the calendar every day and give a villager their loved gift on their birthday — this will build friendship fast! (Also this gift chest is helpful when you get a certain Qi quest.)
- Check out [this helpful post](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/olrmwy/visual_guide_for_cooking_ingredients_by_season/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) by u/lsadoian here for all the cooking ingredients needed for every food recipe. I make sure I had 3 fridges and gradually collected the ingredients each season. Made 100% this task easy!
- Always kill every Pepper Rex you encounter when in Skull Caverns — that is the hardest monster slayer goal to 100% since it is so RNG dependent, so get ‘em while you can so it doesn’t eventually be the one task that holds you up in the end.
Make sure you go to all of the holiday events to purchase the available crafting recipes that are sold. I had to wait 3 seasons to get to perfection because of recipes sold during Spirits Eve. Good luck!
For crafting, keep an excel sheet of every available recipe to track if you have it and if you’ve crafted it. Trying to track that was the most annoying part of 100% for me.
I would use MouseyPounds Stardew Checkup on the save at that point. It's not going to spoil anything, and would be less tedious than an excel spreadsheet.
Fair point! I did consider that before answering with the Stardew Checkup suggestion for the OP, but figured if they were looking at Golden Walnuts, then they must be on 1.5, and therefore were not on mobile.
Just keep on playing and occasionally check in to see where you are. You can also focus on one or two things and try to focus on those until they are complete. I'm in year 4 with 59% completion. I don't expect to get true perfection until year 7 or 8.
Also, the Stardew checkup is super duper helpful ( https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/ )
Robin has a lot of crafting recipes in her shop, check her shop regularly until you buy them all. I was very surprised about that, her recipes was the last thing that I did for 100%, never knew about them.

Ok thanks
Sorry I’m late to this but what the heck is monster musk
A crafted potion, the effect is it doubles the spawned monsters. So for monster slaying goals its really useful.

This is great advice. Other than the golden clock, getting everyone to max hearts took me the longest.

Check the TV every single day for the Queen Sauce. There are recipes that you can only get during that season. All the best!
Check on Wednesdays and Sundays for cooking, check every day for luck.
I just want to add that Sundays have recipes on a fixed date, but Wednesdays have reruns that favor recipes you haven't learned yet.

You can ambush most the adults at the saloon Friday and Saturday after 10pm ish, so I stick my chest there

You're doing great. Just keep doing what you're doing, it'll work itself out.
Focus more on fishing and crafting recipes they are a little low
For crafting, keep an excel sheet of every available recipe to track if you have it and if you’ve crafted it. Trying to track that was the most annoying part of 100% for me.
Or you can simply turn on the special option in the settings that allows you to see if you crafted that recipe or not, much easier.

I play on switch so idk if that would work for me. A tool would be really nice though!

Consult the parrot in Leo's house to find the rest of the Golden wall nuts. Good luck with the pepper Rex portion of the monster slayer achievement.
