10 Video Game Items Everyone Hoards (But Never Uses)
4. Gold Star Items - Stardew Valley
You might think Stardew Valley is a cozy and relaxing game about farming, but any veteran Stardew player will tell you otherwise. The game is a competition, and the way you win is by amassing a giant collection of perfect items to display to anyone who dares question your status!
The plants and animals you raise on your farm produce items of varying quality, ranked with silver, golden, and iridium stars. Golden and iridium star items, as you might suspect, are worth more money, and so to a beginner player, it seems reasonable to sell them for a greater profit.
However, in practice, most players hold on to their high-quality items. There are several reasons for this: some golden star items are necessary for completing the community center project, the players might want to use them in seasonal events, and finally, they feel too proud of the fruits of their labor to sell them.
Holding onto valuable items isn’t even so surprising, seeing as even without the bonus profit, your farm will be racking up a huge stack of money every day.
So yes. Your highest-value product is simply there to be a trophy. A vanity item to be displayed to your jealous friends
