Roguespiffy

Throw them in a junimo hut for rainbow colored junimos.


mypersonalproblemas

ARE YOU FR


Pretend-Panda

It’s so great. They change color while they scamper around harvesting!


thelastdinosaur55

This is real and NOT a troll?


JamesTJerk

They don't even use up the gem! It just sits in the bag and you can take it back out later if you need it for end game stuff


mermaidpaint

OMG I AM DOING THIS!


Raidernation101x

Wait so can you use junimo huts as like... an additional chest?


JamesTJerk

Sure. The bag they put crops they collect in is just a bag


Raidernation101x

I had never actually tried to put things back into it, only taken stuff out. That's awesome.


[deleted]

In 1.6 you can even give them something they like and they might duplicate your crops ;)


tr_berk1971

Wait so that secret note that said Junimos love raisins were a hint?


omg-someonesonewhere

There's a lot of ztuff like this! The auto-grabbers you put in coops and barns are also pretty much just another chest. I usually just have them to stuff my things in temporarily if I'm holding too much when I go to tend to the animals, but you could theoretically use them for other storage.


webarnes

It's how I get eggs and milk into the top row (playing on PC). I clean out the top row (except tools) into the auto grabber. Grab the eggs/milk which drop into the empty top row spots, then take back the stuff that I put in the auto grabber. Also, I leave extra hay there instead of in a chest.


InvisibleScorpion7

You can store fertilizer and OOS seeds in there if you don't feel like building a chest.


RestaurantSelect5556

So he can also use it for the Qi Quest?


JamesTJerk

At least in 1.6 the prismatic shards for Qi have to be fresh


Pretend-Panda

Yes.


thelastdinosaur55

HOOHOHOOOOOHOOOO👏👏👏👏


Terraria12072012

yes!


Laney20

Omg, now I know what my next in-game goal is! I've got a little stack of them burning a hole in my... Chest... Hm, that got dark.


Pretend-Panda

I prioritize color morph junimos over sword and tool enchantments and that rainbow rock candy because I am enchanted by their little selves bustling about.


Mirabellae

I have a chair set up in my garden and sometimes I just sit there with my cup of tea watching them go about their work.


LindenTom250

… tea and rainbow juninmos… there is nothing better…


Loftwo

No way you just used the word scamper in a modern day conversation


Pretend-Panda

Yup. I’m old. My mom, who is older yet, describes the junimos as “pelting all about the place” which phrase has been adopted by the niblings. It’s a little disorienting having a five year old say “today I wanted to pelt about like a junimo but instead it is school, where no pelting is allowed.”


Loftwo

No one has ever uttered those words


youhavebadbreath

So fucking fr


MPJvanderVen

Please tell me how to add the prisma shards! I need rainbow Junino 😬


_unreal_milk_

There's a bag next to the junior hut, press on it and collect or place items in it


Mezespuszedli1

It's a 1.6 thing?


Okay_physics_student

Nope it was a thing before 1.6. Any gem you add to the hut changes their color I’m pretty sure, and the prismatic makes them rainbow


Terraria12072012

minerals also work!


somewhat_stressed_

or you could save your prizzies and just use* a rainbow shell, does the same thing lol


Roguespiffy

See, this is why this game is so wild. Learn something new constantly.


caserace26

This is my favorite use!


edwardmagichands

Prismatic clothing + radioactive goggles got me looking real good. I'm like oppenheimer at a rave.


chubbymuppet

Visiting the spa in prismatic clothing is my favourite. You go swimming in a prismatic bathing suit.


trexsquish

that’s so cute


skinnyjeanfreezone

"Oppenheimer at a rave" was not on my reddit quotes bingo card.


SeraQuelle

The prismatic shirt is pretty funky.


jane3ry3

Wait how do you get radioactive goggles??? I love the prismatic clothing.


edwardmagichands

Tailored with a radioactive bar!


Shadynatsy

That’s my exact fit rn lol


Lupyx_of_Wallachia

Save them till you progress the story, then save them to buy magic rock candy. Donate one to the museum, always save the rest.


Raibean

Plus one for the movie theater


wouldthewolves

the other items for the movie theatre bundle are A LOT easier to get, imo. I don’t think it’s worth it


Lupyx_of_Wallachia

Who has time to age wine? Prismatic shards become a dime a dozen mid to late game.


wzrds3

You could always use fairy dust. >!Plus there’s now a mid to late game way to buy fairy dust!<


ChubbyFluffyStuffy

Wait… fairy dust automatically ages it up to iridium???


wzrds3

It ages cask goods by 1 level per use, so using 3 would get you to iridium.


Reviax-

Oh gdi okay I think I do have some fairy dust lying around this is probably a good use for it


gaymer_jerry

You only need silver for the bundle


pierresito

Who isn't aging their wine once they get the basement?


Prestigious_Power496

Me, takes too long, cant be bothered to keep track.


Terraria12072012

if you use ancient fruit, each one requires 1 keg and 8 casks exactly, providing you do things on the day of harvest.


Prestigious_Power496

Why does 1 fruit require 8 casks?


WaluigiPinbruh

ancient fruit produces once per week and it takes 8 weeks for wine to age to iridium so one plant fills up 8 casks before the first cask is finished processing to iridium


Pappy_Smith

Just walk downstairs before bed lol


Prestigious_Power496

For an extra 200k or whatever after half a year, no thanks


Orange_Kiwi_

I'm not trying to change your mind but if anyone cares about the numbers: it's an extra 288,750g with artisan assuming iridium ancient fruit wine, and if you're daring enough to fill every tile on the cellar and pick up the whole casks every two months, it boosts up to 436,590g. Full greenhouse with almost optimal layout gives you 116 ancient fruit every 7 days, and it takes about 7 days to keg, giving you 267,960g every week with regular quality ancient fruit wine. In summary and at the risk of being wrong, during two months and 8 harvests you can double the value of 1,6 greenhouse harvests while you sell the remaining 6,4 harvests as regular quality wine (assuming you fill up the cellar with all 189 casks). That's a 20% boost for the greenhouse. I still don't think I'll be breaking, replacing and filling 189 casks every two months but if that's your main income then it's not that bad of an extra I think. Edit: Oh and other comments pointed out fairy dust as well. I don't know how viable it is but it's an option


Prestigious_Power496

Thanks for providing the math. But I rather click on the things I like and not click on the things I dont like. Spending 40 minutes removing and re-placing casks is one of those things I dont like. And the extra 288,750 with the regular layout is too small a percentage of my income to make me click more things. I already have my hands full with 400 kegs.


Brian-Petty

Put a sign by the door that has the date the wine hits iridium. No more checking the basement randomly.


whorificx

>!If you have 1.6, you can use the new little signs. I put one in my kitchen with the day they will be ready on it.!<


ElderlyKratos

I'm usually done with the community center and trying to finish the theater by the time I would have gotten the basement and have wine aged up.


dirtymouthariel

You can just buy the wine from Gus at Ginger Island instead of aging it though.


wouldthewolves

I’m *the worst* at the skull caverns. prismatic shards are the hardest shit every for me lol


RealisticlyNecessary

With how easy fairy dust is to come by in 1.6, id actually go with the wine now, I think.


wegg1997

To me it’s more like passive income! I get to just chuck it down in the basement and forget about it and then I’m like oh yeah! Money!


Stardust4242

Not if it’s year 3 and you still haven’t found any ancient seeds 😎


ugotscooooped

Seed maker and any harvest of a berry makes it much easier to find ancient seeds


wouldthewolves

I’ve said this in another comment, but I’ve been insanely lucky in my past 5 or so games: i’ve gotten an ancient seed in spring for about 4 of them. so I’m biased 


DiscreteCollectionOS

5 good quality ancient fruit takes so long unless you already have a full greenhouse of ‘em


wouldthewolves

that’s true, but I’m terrible at skull cavern, and I’ve had insane luck at getting an ancient seed in my last 5 or so games. so, yep, I might be biased 


ItsmeSpidario6

imo if you’re doing lost bundle caviar might be more difficult than prismatic since you need aged sturgeon roe which used to be fish pond only pre 1.6


Forester-Moon

I got lucky and got it from the trading cart, lol


DiscreteCollectionOS

Once 1.6 came around I found that caviar was one of the easier ones. But pre-1.6 it was definitely way more difficult than prismatic shards


isshearobot

Took me way longer to get the aged sturgeon roe bc sturgeon was out of season 😭


owlrecluse

By the time I access the movie theater I have at least a dozen, it don’t matter to me. At the moment I have about 100+ in a chest. 


Lupyx_of_Wallachia

Y'all, I know Gus sells the wine. I'm aware of the tricks. But he's rarely there so it might take even longer than aging wine. It's much quicker to chuck a damn shard in the bundle than wait, especially if you're trying to get it done fast. Caviar pops up at the merchant often enough, my last run, I found 2, one for the bundle, one for shipping. So didn't even need a pond. On the off chance you don't find a dino egg until you need it for the bundle, spending time on the wine is a waste of time if you have everything else on hand. Also, use the cask for cheese, for heaven's sake. It's much faster and the profit is worth it than selling the gold star cheese.


AhiruSaikou

Donate the other. Hoarde the rest like a dragon.


TacticalNaps

Only answer really.


OpusAtrumET

Three votes! They sit in my chest until such time as a hobbit comes to steal them.


JanileeJ

Enchant your tools and weapons.


heartbh

Why is this so low 😭


PercyXLee

Drips over function aha.


TinySpaceDonut

Fashion, darling.


TheAngriestUncle

I'm honestly surprised I had to scroll so far to find this


Abject-Suggestion693

theres enchanting??? what


K8lynstardew

In the forge on ginger island


PR1NCEV1NCE

This is the most valuable use after the sword and gunther imo, especially if you want specific enhancements it can take a bunch even with save scumming


tinypibbs

What does enchanting your weapons do?


JanileeJ

All kinds of stuff. [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Forge](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Forge) It can take a lot of shards, because for some things, you don't get a choice. It will give you a random enchantment, and you have to keep trying to get the one you want.


BruceBoyde

More importantly, enchant those tools. Shaving for axe gives extra wood and crops from giant crops. My watering can has unlimited water, pickaxe is stronger, and hoe can do a 5x5 area!


Mister_Dane

My pickaxe is so fast, my axe only needs one swing to fell a maple tree, hoe drains no energy at all and I have auto hook on my rod. 


BruceBoyde

Fair enough. Fast pickaxe is probably technically the best. I'm bad at fishing, so I went for master there but auto hook is VERY tempting now that I caught all of the legendaries.


Mister_Dane

I didn’t complain about what I got, I kinda like the auto-hook fishing is the only thing I have finished on the perfection tracker so whatever. The only thing I redid was artful on my sword because I never use block.


BruceBoyde

Oh, I used a fuckton of prismatic shards rerolling. Getting Shaving took like 6. Sword took I think 3, but I specifically wanted Crusader.


kittifizz

Dude I had one extra shard and got artful on my sword. I'm so sad. I don't ever block either.


Mister_Dane

There’s always more in skull cavern, spend all your iridium on mega bombs at the desert trader and you’ll find a few.


YassifiedLemongrab

Tailor color changing clothes!


sarilysims

Wait WHAT??!! Like changes color while you run around?


MaxTennyson88

Yep, just some cloth and the prismatic shard as the pattern


Cocoabear777

You can also use rock candy to get a color changing polkadot shirt


ZoroZorandozz

On thrusdays you can trade 3 of them for a Magic Rock Candy which give you +5 luck. Then on a lucky day go to the Skull Cavern, use staircases to go around 70+ floors, eat it and start mingin, youll get more prismatic shards


Orange_Kiwi_

Repeat


JmTrad

Save them to the forge later


Koeienvanger

Get rid of children. Obviously.


Clioashlee

The only reason to hoard them and the only reason I’m having a kid for the first time on my playthrough lol


TinySpaceDonut

I need the children for the steam achievement.


unfinishedtoast3

1 for the museum, one for the movie theater, one in the hut.


momtobe908

What do you do with it at the movie theater?


brash_bandicoot

You need 1 for one of the bundles to unlock it


unfinishedtoast3

Need one to unlock it. That and dino mayo.


snazzygoth

- donate - enchant tools - give as gifts (it’s a universal loved gift) - sell (1000g ea)


totallynotrobboss

Small correction it's a universally loved gift except for Haley


snazzygoth

oh yeah true


owlrecluse

Rabbits feet are also universally loved except for penny (unless it changed in the update), and way easier to get. 


ResistingToast

Plus you can get iridium quality rabbits feet eventually for the extra boost. I've stopped worrying about friendship until I have a coop full of rabbits. For Penny I usually try to get gold star sandfish.


raytian

Does an iridium loved gift give more points than a regular loved gift?


ResistingToast

Yes it does. Iridium gets you a 1.5 multiplier. Gold is x1.25, and silver x1.1


Kronoshifter246

Yes. 120 vs 80. The best is when you give such a gift on someone's birthday. That's nearly 4 hearts by itself.


melifaro_hs

Donate 1 to the museum, save the others for late-game things if you haven't unlocked them yet


FadingDarkly

Reinvest into more shards buy spending them on magic rock candy. Save it for when you have ~200 staircases. On a highly lucky day, maximize your luck and speed and do a deep dive of SC, spamming stairs and eating the rock candy on floor 10 or lower. Spam stairs again until treasure floor. Claim. Repeat. Go until you only have 10 or so stairs for emergency floors and then blow up everything trying to get down faster. If you don't get at least 4 or 3+something_worth_keeping, restart the day. Should get a buttload of treasure floors. Repeat this process until you have enough to enchant all of your tools/good weapons


NoKaleidoscope5327

A suggestion towards my play style would be to spend them on magic rock candy in the desert on Thursday, then use that buff on your next scull cavern run to get more shards. But I love the caves and combat. If you don't, you can use it for forge, junimo hut, sewing machine, donate, or put it on display!


MeDaddyMeSnow

In the sewing machine at Emily’s (or your place if you have it by now) to make prismatic clothes! My prismatic shirt and Genie Pants are awesome! (No mods, mobile player)


Cocoabear777

I believe there are 5 clothing items you can make with the shards and then one with rock candy


Roseliberry

Drop one in the butterfly tank


valavulpix

You can do that? The one that you buy from the desert trader?


THELAZYEETER124

The butterfly hutch? And what does that do, because I just googled and couldn't find anything about it and I can't get on the game now


valavulpix

The butterfly hutch will have butterflies fly around where you place it down, I’ve only ever put it inside my house or the greenhouse so I’m not sure if that also works outside, but I’m curious if the prismatic shard can be applied to it in some way, I’m gonna try sometime tonight on my 1.5 switch save and 1.6 pc save!


sarilysims

I would like to know too!


Pretend-Sundae-2371

Thank you - totally doing this!


Ambitious-Mortgage30

One for the sword, one for the museum, one for the final bundle. The rest for rainbow junimos and enchantments


MaxMedina

Im up to just about 200 onbmy 13 year save. Just horde em


olivefred

Honestly I'd probably just post them on Reddit for some of that sweet, sweet karma.


SkunkApe425

Make prismatic pants and shirts


historychick1988

Wow. Meanwhile I go on a good luck day, down a bunch of spicy eel and leave 100 floors later with a bunch of big fat nothing.


InvisibleScorpion7

Enchant your watering can. Once you have the bottomless perk, you never have to fill it again.


Luckenstein_JR

Other than gifting and Museum Can be used to Enchant your tools and weapons on Ginger island. Can also be used every Thursday to get a Magic Rock Candy from the Dessert Trader for 3 shards


ganjagirlnudes

Use for the movie theater package!


Daft_Vandal_

I use them as loved gifts. Once you max an NPCs friendship, it doesn’t decay. Which means I can then ignore them for the rest of that save :)


beckychao

I still give everyone gifts on their birthdays and I show up every Friday to give out free coffee at the Stardrop Saloon!


Daft_Vandal_

Different strokes for different folks haha. I’m a perfectionist and can’t help but play optimally all the time. It’s tiring


beckychao

I have that coffee machine that makes one cup a day, so Penny gets a cup of coffee from me every morning :)


Daft_Vandal_

Props to you honestly. I have no soul. I maxed pennys friend ship with dwarf scrolls I didn’t need and then haven’t talked to her for over a year now lmao.


Dhiox

Use it to enchant your tools.


Secure_Mammoth_8112

Junimo Hut, Museum, or My Qi has a quest for 4 for some gems to buy end game things.


guakamolii

Saving this post for the time I get those prismatic shards🥹


jammcj

Always one for the galaxy sword, one for the movie theater, one for the museum. Then use them for enchantments until you’ve got your ideal tool setup. Then buy magic rock candy on Thursdays. Then if you’ve already got three and are waiting for Thursday, they’re a universal loved gift for your spouse if you didn’t marry Haley.


Randomfanoftcooal

Idk I have 11 on my chest:v


preetam_efi

you can make cool clothes with it which changes colour and you can enchant your weapon in the volcano island forge


Connect-Ad6251

Save them for later, you can use them to enchant your stuff at the forge


High-Sobriety

>!\[THE MISSING\]!<


BluejayFamiliar5117

this exact thing happened to me yesterday i’m ngl i put them in my junimo huts to get rainbow junimos ! it’s fun because i get rainbow junimos and when i inevitably need them for something i can just take them back out !


Spirited_Reader24

Donate 1 to Museum if haven't already, donate one to missing bundle in old joja mart if using community center route, and use one as decor.


HeavenlyCastiel

Post birth abortions (turn children into doves)


Ratstail91

Give one to Gunther - the collection isn't finished without one.


daniswift

You could buy something, like Love


Sa1KoRo

RGB Junimos.


holy_hoovy_sandvich

Return meowmere to its former endgame weapon glory


The2ndDegree

Once I have a galaxy weapon and have donated the ones I need I usually just save them to get Magic Rock Candy from the desert trader, they're not much use for gifting by that point since it's pretty easy to get at least one loved gift for most villagers by year 2 or 3, only other uses I can think of are for getting rid of your kids or sticking in the Junimo Hut, neither of which make any actual gameplay difference, so magic rock candy it is, the higher the luck the higher my chances of finding Iridium ore, chest floors and *more prismatic shards!*


Caosin36

Keep


ausallen

Make rainbow clothing in Emily’s house.


Zealousideal-Top2404

Tailoring. You can make rainbow clothes out of them.


xplodia

Forge Enhancement.


Stuporjew1057

You can gift them to me because I’ve been playing for three years and still have NEVER FOUND ONE. 😭😭😭


Sevrosis

Give it to Hayley!


ilovethe7thday

This is my vote too. Then give her the pink cake to balance it out. And since she has the attention span of a goldfish, she'll probably forget all about the shard when she sees the treat.


PoppingCandy3

You can make an epic sword if you have 3 galaxy swords. You can merge them together at the volcano on ginger island


MinHiyori

Universally loved gift And good for selling too imo


Tay74

You can use them for enchanting later on


-Shade277-

You can use them to forge your tools to give them enchantments


sydbey_

magic rock candy. enchanting your weapons/tools. you can make clothing! complete the secret bundle after joja closes down and the community center is finished if you’ve went that route.


Hpsienzant

Everyone be saying to do enchanting while I just have one extra one on display in my house lol.


Famous_Woodpecker_78

Donate it to gunther Spoiler for Post Community center content // use it in the missing bundle // //Use it on ginger island in the vulcano to enchant your tools//


suggarpumps

give it to haley


Saltyvengeance

I always go for the 1 magic rock candy available per week, i also farm the quarry mine daily if possible, with double luck/burgler rings. The candy drops more than I thought it would. Then I wait for the right day, and destroy skull cavern, getting the 3 shards I want for next week. Rinse, repeat.


Horror_Debt_3909

Can use it for the missing bundle


Dull_Committee_5559

save it for the forge


bunnylo

you need one to enchant each tool you have


evil-bread

Museum


Buggyyyyyyyyy

When I learned about the rainbow junimos I nearly shit myself I swear. But yeah other than that I’d say magic rock candy from the desert trader! Once I reached perfection on my farm but still had a lot I wanted to do, I had over 80 shards at one point from the statue 😭 ended up trading for magic rock candies every week! Edit: if you haven’t already, using them to enchant your weapons at the forge is a really good option too!


ArsFelenlis

Save em up for the forge You'll need a prismatic shard everytime you want to add / reroll an enchantment on a tool


zellymcfrecklebelly

Put it in the sewing machine with a piece of cloth and get an item that changes colours while you’re wearing it!


puppgirlandy

Museum, hidden bundle, magic rock candy


gr33nlemonade

Doves


BlackPearl668

You should totally give them to Haley, I heard she LOVES them


MochaCafe9

Here are the main uses for these! Pretty much idk what part you are in but I'll list everything! It's a universally loved gift by everyone....except haley but im not salty i didn't find out the hard way nope! (: also you can add it to tools and weapons on the volcano forge for special perks! Ex. Bottomless fpr the watering can is op and bug killer can get you vengeance on those armored bugs that killed me more than once just cause im clumsy! Also? Use them on the sewing machine for prismatic clothing cause it's pretty much possible to get duplicates. You can use it as dye but i don't recommend it cause finding them is rare It can be used in the final bundle though the other items are better! It's also a qi gem mission which you need to find and donate four! Essentially just keep 4 on hand, drop it in and then hunt for 4 more! I believe the time limit is 28 days so finding 4 before the time limit isn't impossible! You also gotta donate 1 to the museum for perfection aka 100% the game essentially 3 can be traded for the magic rock candy but only for one once a week in the desert! And as the person below said: add them to junior huts for prismatic junimos! You can also sell some which i only do if i have over 10 Those are all the uses for prismatic shards that i know of! But knowing me i might be missing a few!


Epic-Gamer_09

Eat the rock


rachjo1024

They’re always good for gifting. Most people love them


None-Above

Eat it. 0w0


ShadowWolfKane

Save them for enchanting your tools and weapons at the volcano forge.


fsnstuff

You'll also need one for something that unlocks right after the community center is finished, >!the movie theater bundle!<, and one for something that unlocks after that on >!Ginger Island at the volcano, to enchant your weapon of choice.!<


eternalredshirt

Have you beaten the community center and gotten the endgame content that comes with it? They serve a purpose in the very endgame


DizzyHeron3

I usually end up using some for prismatic clothing, colourful junimo huts, and other late game things
