Best Spouses in Stardew Valley
Restoring and managing the farm handed to you by your grandfather is such a daunting task, considering that you have to do this all by yourself. To add more, there are also quests and adventures you have to take on in order to gain gold, resources, and experience for leveling up skills. Another quite challenging objective in Stardew Valley is finding a spouse.
Finding the best and ideal one would of course take you a while since you first have to know the villagers especially when you have just started playing Stardew Valley. But, to give a good start, here are the bachelors and bachelorettes of the Pelican Town which you might want to pay some attention to.
The single gentlemen in Pelican Town are Alex, Elliott, Harvey, Sam, Sebastian, and Shane. While, the ladies who could be your love interest are Abigail, Emily, Haley, Leah, Maru, and Penny.
Marriage
Marrying has its own perks, of course. Spouses in Stardew Valley can allot a great deal of help in your farm chores. In fact, as long as you keep them happy, they can water all your crops, feed the animals, repair broken fences, and refill the dog or cat bowl with water. On top of that, they could also prepare you breakfast or dinner so you can pleasantly start and end your day with your stomach full.
Aside from that, they could also, occasionally, decorate and refurbish your farmhouse interiors to make it look and feel more like a home; they might change wallpaper and flooring, or add furniture to a room.
All these great advantages of having a spouse and you might ask, “Why even bother finding a perfect one?”. While what is mentioned above are the things you can get as you get married, remember that each of the bachelors or bachelorettes has their own personalities thus, looking for the one that best suits your interests is essential since he/she would be the one who you would be spending time with every day in your farm. Not to mention, each of the prospective spouses in Stardew Valley has something unique to offer once you get married.
Who are the Best Spouses in Stardew Valley
Among the 6 bachelors and 6 bachelorettes of the town, there would, of course, be someone who could be deemed as the most ideal one. With the perks that come with your marriage; the help he/she could give you as you progress in the game; and how he/she treats you as a spouse, there would always be someone who best fits the role.
Although genders do not matter in choosing who to marry in Stardew Valley, this might be a helpful reference in choosing a spouse.
If you are looking for a man as a partner, Sebastian is the best choice; while for a woman, one might say that Abigail is the standard.
Abigail
Abigail is the daughter of Pierre–who runs the general store–and Caroline. While Abigail might seem to be a little, odd fellow (according to her mother as she has some peculiar interests and hobbies), Abigail proves to be the best prospective wife among the 12.
Apart from her pleasant and cool demeanor, since she is a gamer and really adventurous at heart, she is the only possible spouse who would willingly join and assist you inside The Mines. Above everything else, Abigail is also generous in terms of the gifts she might give you.
You might receive a Cherry Bomb, a Bomb, a Fried Mushroom, or Crab Cakes from Abigail, especially on days that she mostly stayed indoors. During rainy days, she might give you a Solar Essence, a Bat Wing, a Void Essence, an Amethyst, or a Fire Quartz. While, on a pouring and cold night, she might offer you a Parsnip Soup, a Tom Kha Soup, a Trout Soup, a Chowder, or a Lobster Bisque; all of them with the hope of keeping you warm.
Likes and Loves
To get on Abigail’s good side and hopefully reach 8 hearts to start dating her, it would be handy that you take note of the gifts she would love and like.
Abigail would particularly love to receive an Amethyst, Banana Pudding, Blackberry Cobbler, Chocolate Cake, Pufferfish, Pumpkin, and a Spicy Eel. She would also be delighted to receive Quartz from you.
However, once you get Abigail to be your partner, such things will change. She would then love to receive the things she also gives you: a Solar Essence and Void Essence, Cherry Bomb, Tom Kha Soup, Lobster Bisque, Fried Mushroom, and Crab Cakes.
Sebastian
Quite contrary to Abigail’s vivacious personality which makes her one of the villagers’ favorites, Sebastian is on the introverted side. He mostly spends his day in his room, engrossed in computer games, and reading sci-fi novels or novel books. Although Sebastian tends to be somehow elusive and unfriendly at times, he poses as a good partner.
At face value, one can’t deny that Sebastian’s looks stand out among other bachelors. His punk style, which is most likely influenced by him being in a band, makes him a little more attractive than others. And mind you, he rides a motorbike, making him look cooler despite being an introvert.
As a partner, Sebastian clearly and openly expresses his interest in you. Once married, he might make coffee for you in the morning. If effort is in the question, Sebastian would definitely not disappoint. His gifts are mostly those he found from his cave explorations which are Obsidian, Void Essence, Bat Wing, Frozen Tear, Amethyst, or Cave Carrot. On New Year’s Eve, he would also give you a Beer as you both celebrate the new year that is coming.
Likes and Loves
To make it possible to marry Sebastian, what you first need to do is work on your friendship. In order to do so, you might want to take note of the gifts he would be ecstatic to receive.
Sebastian’s loved gifts are Frozen Tear, Obsidian, Pumpkin Soup, Sashimi, and Void Egg. Although he would not be exceptionally happy, he would nonetheless appreciate receiving a Flounder or Quartz from you.
After your marriage, aside from Void Essence which he already loved, it would be imperative to also gift him with a Bat Wing or Coffee.
