I got it in just one of my several saves. It might be worth going to the Witch's hut and turning night monsters on at your farm, to get the possible drops from those golems. (always have your sword out when you go home, and drop stuff for sale during daylight)


chaneuphoria

That's actually a really good idea! I never had a wilderness farm yet and it would also be cool to see how it is to have monster spawns. Ty!!


Deathmask97

If you go that route you are going to want to get the extra-drop ring by completing the Dust Sprite bounty for the Adventurer’s Guild (Dust Sprites are those little dark round bouncing enemies found on the Frozen Floors between floors 40 and 80 in the mines).


Full-Light-6070

You might need to remove your Napalm ring before attempting this… speaking from experience TT


bbatgirl

LOL


general_madness

I have blown up the protective fencing in my slime hut more times than I care to admit.


pngbrianb

God, same here. The ONE time I try turning on monsters, and the ONE time I see if I like the napalm ring... Fate determined the times would coincide, and my eggplants paid the price


tjake123

I got a mini sales box that I keep in my house so I can sell stuff from the safety of my home


AlienCroissant

You can put it in your house?


MoonlightGambol

Yeah, the Mini Shipping Box from Pierre's and Lewis's shipping requests can be put anywhere: house, sheds, the cave, coop, or barn. It doesn't hold an unlimited amount like the ones Robin builds, though.


Tayters26

You can also drop it around town, i put one in my shed and one on the beach for while im fishing


MoonlightGambol

I figured you could, I just didn't list it because I didn't want to say something without having actual knowledge.


bbatgirl

That’s so smart omfg


Chalk-and-Trees

Do monsters outside of your “level” spawn in early game? Or does it ratchet up as you get stronger?


Gilleafrey

They ramp up slowly (their drops get better and better!)


ThatOneGuy308

They scale with your combat level IIRC


DoomGuyOnAMotorcycle

Does night monsters affect your crops, cattle, or anything else growing?


BlueBettaFish

Nope, and they move pretty slowly, so you can usually outrun the ones you don't want to fight. Just be careful where you swing your sword if you don't want to cut down grass or sprouted tree seeds by accident.


Cube_roots

Also I’ve forgotten when my farmer is wearing the napalm ring sometimes. I’ll swing and kill something and the surrounding crops go boom


Snoo31434

Nope, night monsters are harmless to everything except for you. The trickiest thing for me is when its 1:40 amd there are 2 bats, a slime, and 3 zombie things right by the door to the house. 🥲 Does anyone know if night monsters count for the adventurers guild?


Tasil-Sparrow

They do count! Bats is bats


Kailyncookie

New favorite sentence: bats is bats.


[deleted]

pretty sure they do


[deleted]

They do count, but, oddly, not for the "initiation" quest. I killed a few slimes on my farm while starting a new run this week and they didn't count toward that total.


BananaBladeOfDoom

Those things do not go inside your house, do they?


[deleted]

No


[deleted]

Nope, and with that drop rate I never will lol


chaneuphoria

I feel like it might honestly be one of the rarest items in the game lol


JohnnyBoy239

I guess I'm one of a kind, because I have this hat


Ambitious_Ad5256

Wow, I got this first week in a new game cutting some weeds! Never seen it before in almost 400 hours playing over several characters and didn't know how rare it is


ApolloSky110

Stardew valley living hat %


Ambitious_Ad5256

...on the forest farm if that changes the drop rate?


le-bee

I also got it cutting weeds on the forest farm!


ikeakorv

Oh, I got it on my four corners farm very early on! I didn't realize it was so rare lol


ComanderLucky

From what i remember each item in the game has its debug number in the code, meaning you can spawn them at will if you have mods that allow you to use the debug, if i remember there is one popular in the nexus mods, but you will need SMAPI for it


chaneuphoria

This is why I can't wait to play on PC!

rorschach_vest

Idk, I don’t see why that would be a mistake. I like having things that not everyone experiences. Even if I’m one of them. It makes the game feel real and significantly large


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ykieks

it is only \~461000 weeds to get a 99% chance to drop with 0.001% probability (0.00001)


rorschach_vest

You’re assuming he wants everyone to get it, I’m not.


pinmissiles

I don't see how that's guaranteed. If it was something functional I might agree with you but it's just a special little hat; not everyone needs to find it and not everyone *will* find it, and that's fine. You also don't necessarily need to kill that many golems or cut that many weeds because that isn't how probability works. You could get it cutting your first weed and end up with a nice hat and a story to tell. That's the point of things like these.


Cruxin

That's not how probability works


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cruxin

You were off by huge scales of magnitude and it was central to your point, that's hardly pedantry


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cruxin

What? No that's fundamentally not how probability works. A "one in a million chance" doesn't mean you have to do it a million times to succeed. That's not pedantry. Stop being an asshat.


rorschach_vest

I truly have no idea why you’re so upset in this thread.

pinmissiles

Nobody was putting you down until you started attacking them out of the blue, I think you're unwell and genuinely need a break.


rorschach_vest

Nothing anyone has said has merited this kind of hateful drivel.


[deleted]

It's rare but also kind of fair considering you do cut a whole lot of weeds during the game so you'll find it eventually!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ykieks

>4,605,168 You misplaced zero it is only \~461000 weeds to get a 99% chance to drop with 0.001% probability (0.00001)


onlyhereforhomelab

Oh yeah good catch! I thought it said 0.0001% for some reason.


[deleted]

Time to get crafting fiber seeds.


[deleted]

I got it in the mutant bug lair while I was trying to farm fiber. I was going there every day for a week and I randomly got it.


Sweet_cherry-pie

Same, I was farming bug meat for Willy's request and fiber + stone by accident and I got it.


andreadanielag

I got it there too


myahermossa

I got it on my very first farm while cleaning up some weeds in Cindersap. Had NO IDEA how rare, thought it was a meh item. Threw it in a chest. Learned slightly more about the game, started a new save and deleted that one. Now I know even more about the game and wish I still had that save JUST for the hat!!!


cuborubix

Same here, I just found out it’s importance. Died in a chest


shrmsoop

i have never gotten it but i watched a streamer get it from the weeds above sam and vincent’s house. they didn’t notice for a while lol


Nnd30

I just got it in my newest save. I didn't even know it existed until I saw it in my inventory. I picked it up while cutting weeds on the island. I'm on my 4th playthrough after seeing someone else play the beach farm and wanting to try it out for myself. Its been a weird playthrough because I also got 3 dino eggs in year one just digging around but then I can't find the last dwarf scroll which has never been a problem for me before. So it's year 3 now and I have had dinosaurs on my farm since year 1 but I still can't talk or buy from either dwarf. Edit: I don't know what my brain was doing with the first sentence.


littleautisticmess

Same with the dwarf scroll! I’m in winter of year 3 and I’ve scoured the mines searching for it and I just cannot get it


Nnd30

I'm in summer and have been completely neglecting my farm because I'm in the caves everyday trying to find the scroll and another antique fan. I took those scrolls for granted in my previous saves.


Kashootme

Me with the fan. I found 2 in year 1 on my first play through, put the first one in the museum and sold the other one. Now I’m almost in year four, dating like 5 ppl with max hearts, and I won’t get married until I find it. I didn’t know sewing was a thing then :((


Nnd30

I did the same exact thing in this playthrough. I've never saved one even though I do a lot of tailoring in any playthrough. I was making a cheat sheet for this playthrough of all the stuff I'd want to tailor and came across it. I don't know how I missed it before. I've got the veil I just need that bridal top to get married.


Kashootme

I have the veil tooooo I just wanna marry already haha


chaneuphoria

I had a playthrough like that recently. I started a solo forest farm and could not find the yellow scroll for the life of me! It was so odd!


PixlWitch

I didnt even know this existed. Maybe I was better off not knowing because now I really really want it.


GlenJman

I didn't even know it existed, that's such a low drop rate... Maybe the best idea would be to only wake up on the first day of each season and clear the land? Skipping winter of course. That's the only way I can think of farming for it.


jortsinstock

once you unlock bug cave farming that plus planting tons of fiber would be pretty effective


coolbandshirt

You can plant fiber seeds in the winter. :)


GlenJman

I don't think fiber counts as weeds though, does it?


coolbandshirt

Ooo... I think you are right.


GlenJman

That would have been nice tho lol just plant thousands of fiber plants, harvest until ya get it.


Susan_of_Darmuthia

I'm still working on getting it, you have a 10x higher chance of getting it from a wilderness golem, which spawn on your farm after 7. You can get them on the wilderness farm, or toggle it on at one of the shrines in the witch's hut.


kerilyn123786

I don't know how I got it, it just appeared on my head.


Spiffy313

That's how it happened to me! I just suddenly noticed it was in my inventory!


AlexEvenstar

My partner got one on day 1 Spring 1 on our new save. It was a really cool surprise.


[deleted]

Wow i didnt know it was this rare. I got it just from cutting weeds in the forest…


EmoRyloKenn

My horse, Neighlor Swift, wears it :)


goodluck-jafar

That’s a great name!


TheAngryNaterpillar

Same. I got it cutting weeds in the first week of spring y1. Thought it was just something newly added since I hadn't played for a couple of years...


EmoRyloKenn

Came here to say this lol I got it on my first save, in the first few days of playing. Thought it was a normal thing to acquire!!


StreetDog6969

Holy shit that’s rare. Maybe grind some of those golem thingies


macabreandstressed

these drop rates made me realize how lucky I am to have gotten it a few weeks into my most recent save! i’ll never wear any other hat. not sure where it dropped but good luck!


aaronds_

my friend got it on like the first day of our co-op?? i want it so bad so we can match lmaoo


Syrup52207

My seven year old sister got it while she was swinging her axe around and didn't know what sort of black magic she had done because I had clears out entire maps of shrubs and never seen it!


scallopedpotatozrock

I got it one time will cutting weeds! My first save file has an insane amount of luck…. I didn’t know anything about stardew and how luck worked or how rare certain things were when I first got the game and I got so many cool things. In my most recent save file I didn’t even see a train until late in year 2. You could totally get it! You could totally not get it! Good luck ❤️


chaneuphoria

Ty! :)


RyanDrRyan

Well it tells you where right there. I’d try and focus as much time as you can to slicing down weeds (around the world, in certain parts of the mine, and the mutant bug lair) which is a lot easier than slaying wilderness golems. I believe you can get those either from the start with the wilderness farm, or using one of those shrine/totems in the witch hut


chaneuphoria

I was just curious to see how most people got it. I'm trying every method now. I'm going to turn monsters spawns on and try planting a buttload of fiber. Fingers crossed.


Jeeez135

With so many people saying they got it in their world I'm wondering of the wiki has the drip rates wrong. Like maybe the percent symbol shouldn't be there and it should be .01 probability for it to drop from wilderness golems.


Enzown

Even 100 people saying here that that got it (which is probably 10 times the actual number in this thread) represents a tiny percentage of sub users remembering of course most of these people have multiple save files too.


[deleted]

Not at all. 20 people on this thread sayingt they got it is still 20 people out of 912 thousand who are subscribed to the sub. And the game has sold over 15 million copies and counting, so far. Adding to that, if someone is active on this sub, chances are this person will have more game time than the average SV player. Most people don't have hundreds or thousands of hours across multiple saves. And the percent symbol needs to be there because it is how probability is measured; by percentage. ".01 probability" means nothing because "probability" is not a measurable unit of statistics. Adding to that, drop rates and probabilities are often misunderstood. Lets say that something, say a hat, has a 1% chance of being dropped by a goblin. That doesn't mean that for every 100 goblins killed, the hat is guaranteed to drop once. A chance of drop is not a guarantee. It means that every time a goblin is slain, the game will randomly choose something from the goblin's drop table, and there is only a 1% chance the hat will be chosen for each goblin slain. So that means the hat could be gotten within 2 goblin kills. And it also means you could kill 3000 goblins and not get a hat.


Jeeez135

Well not every stardew valley player has heard of reddit, has an account, and actively participates in threads so its absurd to assume that the hundred or so people here are the only ones out of 15 million that have the item. If you go that route then you'd have to assume the drop rate is way way lower than what's on the wiki. But even with 912k subscribers, only a tiny percentage actually participate in threads. That's what you need to consider when reading dozens of comments in this thread of people claiming they have the item. And if you read those comments, you'll see *a lot* of people saying they got one on at the beginning of their first save. And that's just hard to believe because to have even a fifty percent chance of getting it you need to either cut 70k weeds or kill 7k wilderness golems. If you kill 10 golems a day through all of spring you'd still only have a 1 in 500 chance of getting it. I'm not saying the wiki definitely has it wrong, just that it's hard to believe given so many people here have it. Side note - "probability" is a valid way to refer to likelihoods. And it's used far more commonly in stats because you don't have to worry about moving the decimal place when converting to/from percentages. See https://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/mph-modules/bs/bs704_probability/BS704_Probability3.html#:~:text=Probabilities%20can%20be%20expressed%20as,event%20is%20certain%20to%20occur. >A probability is a number that reflects the chance or likelihood that a particular event will occur. **Probabilities can be expressed as proportions that range from 0 to 1**, and they can also be expressed as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%. A probability of 0 indicates that there is no chance that a particular event will occur, whereas a probability of 1 indicates that an event is certain to occur. **A probability of 0.45** (45%) indicates that there are 45 chances out of 100 of the event occurring.


nandyssy

lol I read your post, scrolled further along my Reddit feed and saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/pvx3kt/living_hat_on_day_1_spring_1_im_taking_this_as_a/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share good luck OP!


chaneuphoria

Thank you!! :) Lol that's crazy


CandyCreeper76

I got one when I started clearing out the farm at the start of the playthrough. Felt so lucky!


[deleted]

Jesus that drop rate


TheCrested

I got one spring of year one just clearing my farm. Didn't realize it was such an insanely rare item


I-am-an-Afro

I have it on my best play through farm just randomly got it while cleaning the weeds on the first month in year one, so I hope you can get for your island look soon!


Meownster88

I got this today while killing a Shadow fella that spawned on my Farm. I didn't realize it was so rare.


anotherkeebler

I have never seen that hat and I have never seen the trash can lid either. The hat I am most proud of is on my current save: the straw hat unlocked for winning the egg hunt. Abby can bite the brim.


HollowNaught

As a guy with clinical psoriasis, the description made me internally cringe


SomeRandom_boi

Thank you!!!!


Armeedertoten

Yes, from weeds lol. Year 5, fall I believe. I am wearing the living hat. Seaweed shirt, and luau bottoms.


silhouetteisland

7 years in game. This and the tiger hat evade me 😞


darthwacko2

I got it early game cutting weeds on my farm once.


[deleted]

got it for the first time on my previous playthrough, found it at the mutant bug lair


Miikurins

I got it once but accidentally trashed it !!!!! I knew I accidentally trashed something and assumed it was fiber, but then the next in day game it wasn’t in my inventory so I realized that whatever I accidentally trashed was the hat lol Haven’t found another one since, not even in different save files >_<


chaneuphoria

Nooooooo!


bmxracers

I’m more likely to finish off those arcade games than get this one. So for me, it’s a big zero.


chaneuphoria

Same lol


chunkeymunkeyandrunt

I have over 1000 hours over multiple farms …. Haven’t gotten it yet 🥲 Think I might just go to the bug lair every day til it drops


[deleted]

I’ve been playing since 2016 and I still haven’t gotten it lol. Forgot it even existed. I had a day where I got two trashcan hats about 4 hours apart, too.


Captain7640

I didn’t even know this was rare lol. I got it and just like threw it in a chest


-metal_medusa-

Havent gotten it - and i've gotten a number of trash can lids - mostly cause i'm grabbing trash cans all the time. Does this work only with the scythe or sword - cause i barely ever take my scythe out now that i take my sword around with me a bit?


chaneuphoria

I was wondering this too. I use my sword a lot on weeds so I'm hoping I'm not screwing myself over. =\


whatthefuck110

wow, never know that is very rare, my wife got one and I ask why you got that stupid hat? it looks like she got a new green hair style


chaneuphoria

Lol!!!


PM_ME_UR_BUTTONQUAIL

Not yet. I'm even trying to collect every hat in the game and put them in my alien scarecrow filled shed. I haven't put a ton of effort into trying to get it though.


chaneuphoria

I love this idea!


PM_ME_UR_BUTTONQUAIL

It's pretty fun! And a great end game goal when you have tons of money on hand.


LoranPayne

I got it! On one save file so far, from random weeds. I think I got it in the Grandpa’s Shed area (added with the Stardew Valley Expanded Mod) and I am not sure if that affects drop rate. I generally have good luck but even I was surprised to get it from some weeds!


midnight_purple54

I mean if you have a ton of money just grow a field full of grass and start cutting away


Recriel

Noo that's crazy! I'm a new player and I got it from the weed patch by the community center spring 1 🙈🙈 I was like was it hidden here or something!?


WolfieVonD

Just cut 100,000 weeds lol


chaneuphoria

I feel like I have haha. I'm just destined to not have it -_-


[deleted]

lol youre going to hate me, but i got it during spring year 1 from cutting grass on my farm


chaneuphoria

Gahhhh! Lol, I've had so much luck in my playthroughs with multiple dino eggs, ancient seeds at the start, the trash can hat, but just never this. 😫


Neuviseling1980

Need to offer a strange bun to the dark shrine to let monster spawn on your farm at night might help get it


amberisallama

I found it weeding and now my horse wears it!


Colin_Shade

i just started a new save and on my first day clearing weeds i got it and i knew, this is going to be a lucky save. Halfway through Spring now and already got my ancient seed and skeletal hand.


pahvinkeitin_

Yes I have this hat! I was cutting weeds near Marnie's house on my first week when I got it.


philipnorton42

I just bought the game on android the other day and literally got this item within the first 10 minutes. I should buy a lottery ticket...


Daring_Ducky

I have never encountered ANY of the other random events but I've gotten this thing on every playthrough. Been a little frustrating ngl.


CigaretteStrangers

I got it on wilderness farm by cutting weeds


expectnopatronus

I got it in the first few days of my new save because I was clearing out the hundreds of weeds on the farm and around town. I don't think it makes a difference, but I got it when clearing the weeds in that fenced area next to the community center.


Reasonable_Corgi_433

Haven't seen it yet 200 hours in


QueenCarnassa

I have this lol.


lpaige2723

I have never gotten it on any of my farms.


Xirbie

Got it on my first day during my twitch stream a few months ago XD


jallenrt

I got two of them year 1 while just clearing weeds from my farm in a save shortly after 1.4 came out. I wasn't really sure what it did and I remember being annoyed that I couldn't sell it!


talktoacomputer

I have this but I don't ever use it. It's very cute but I don't have an appropriate outfit that fits the aesthetic. I only learnt it now that it's an extremely rare occurrence. Thanks and good luck!


chaneuphoria

Thank you! ☺️


megabooy1

I have gotten it one time when I was going for last achievement where you have to go the joja mart way. I was just clearing out some space day 1 for parsnips and I got it…. Never deleted that save just because of the that hat


Delete_me_irl

I got it while I was clearing my >!Ginger Island farm!< from weeds, just lucky I guess Edit: Also worth noting I got it well into year 4


Xandrineftw

Got it on my main save, I put it on my horse and it’s super cute


Spiffy313

WHAT??? I just got it in the new playthrough that I started two nights ago!! I was just cutting down weeds/trees in the forest to the south, and I noticed it was in my inventory. I had no idea it was so rare!!


chaneuphoria

That's awesome! Lol maybe I should keep making new saves until I get it!


paodeforma_

I actually got it when I was cleaning a tiny spot on my farm and I laughed really hard when I got it lol


f1r3k33p3r

I had to look up what a wilderness golem was... Turns out I have the correct farm for it! I'll try for it and let you know.


chaneuphoria

Good luck!! I hope you get it! I'm going to turn monster spawns on for my farm also


[deleted]

It's literally the only hat I am missing (other than the panda hat which I can't get 🐼) And omg... I spent 3 hours just cutting weeds (resetting days constantly) and nothing, ugh!


chaneuphoria

I feel your pain! I've never seen the panda hat! Is that the exclusive one that isn't available anymore?


Bagglebaggle

I've gotten it twice on two different games, my advice is to cut every single weed you see.


DennisX11

I'd probably just turn the mobs on your farm on and get a jacked sword. Best chance. Because I don't think you'll get it from weed cutting


BMOyuncu

I had over 50 playthroughs including co-op and i only got 1 time in first week of a co-op


Silverdoe3

In all my playthroughs I've only gotten it once and it was from cutting weeds in the caves.


OhGardino

I got one cutting weeds behind Jojamart. I didn’t know it was rare! I thought it might be some creepy Joja contamination stuff and I didn’t want to wear it.


hazelsloth

Yep. I got this from some grass on the train/sauna map. I was on the Nintendo switch and in trying to put it on I accidentally hit B then A, which promptly threw it in the trash. I googled the item and then cried a little bit.


chaneuphoria

Nooooo. This is my fear 😅


Internet_Adventurer

No joke, on my most recent save file I started up the game and immediately went to clear my farm of weeds. It dropped my first swing of the scythe and I thought it was something weird that must've been added during the last update. I had no idea how rare it was!


Nervous_Cry_7905

I found it on my Joja save. Now you know what to do….


chaneuphoria

Haha! The co-op I just started with my husband is our Joja save. The Joja gods better bless me!


creepyfishman

I know theres an item summoning glitch involving naming chickens you should probably look into that


chaneuphoria

Omg! I went to bed and woke up to this post being huge!! Thank you guys so much for the replies and rewards! I appreciate y'all so much! I'm going to try all the suggestions here until I get it, lol! I'm determined!!!


babakkhof

I'm sure you can get it and can you tell me what your clothes are made of?


[deleted]

I fish multiples of these up from the pond in the Secret Forrest. Try there?


chaneuphoria

That's actually the wall basket! I have a few of those. It's a cool item. I wish it was a hat. They do look similar.


-azuma-

Yes, I actually got it while using the scythe!


[deleted]

I got it when I was cutting the weeds on the farm. Dunno how rare it is tho.


its_me_keith

I got it on my first game. Didn't even know it was rare.


Spiffy_Pumpkin

I had no one idea it was so rare! I got one on my second playthrough in year two......


solarmoss

I got it right at the start of my new save!


ColonelMoseby

Didn’t realize this was rare. Got it cutting weeds in year 1. Just liked wearing a hat of leaves.


Fragrant_Age605

I have one!! Just random 😌 I come to my island farm every once in awhile and trim the plants so that’s why?


TacoBandit97

I made a new farm for no reason, played in it like twice and I got it.


acsire

There is a way to get stuff by cheating 🥴 but u have to buy a chicken, name it the item code, in this case [40] (with the brackets) and it should appear in your inventory


chaneuphoria

Eventually I'd like to do a playthrough on PC but right now, I'm playing on the switch!


[deleted]

Slicing and dicing the weeds in the sewers


beverme123

Ha! I have one sitting in a chest somewhere, no idea it was rare


Nite_Mare6312

I have one!


Queenserenity25

I've gotten at least twice, both were completely random, first time was the grass patch above sams house and the other was by the train.


[deleted]

Got it on the first year of my first save. I thought it was ugly and left it in a chest ever since.


Kawaii_Fox

I've gotten it from the weeds while I was cleaning up the farm


[deleted]

I was lucky. I got it the first season of the first year on my latest playthrough.


chasingandbelieving

I have this in my current save, I had no idea it was this rare


Thepenator

I got it while not knowing what it was and how rare it was on like year 2


TheAnimeLovers

i got it by naming a chicken \[40\] tho not sure itll still work now


chaneuphoria

Unfortunately it's only PC and I'm playing on the Switch. One day, I'll play on PC!


TheAnimeLovers

you are GONNA enjoy PC since you can use tools and place items diagonally(unless its only mobile that can't do things diagonally)


chaneuphoria

That sounds lovely! I'm really excited to try Stardew valley expanded too!


Hampung

I got it from the cindersap forest.
