⛏ Quarry

The Quarry is a mining location in the Mountain region of Stardew Valley. It provides an endless source of rocks, ores, and geode nodes that regenerate over time. Once unlocked, it becomes a valuable resource hub for players looking to gather large amounts of stone, ore, and rare minerals without delving into the Mines.

📍 Access

• Located east of the Mountain Lake, across a bridge.
• The bridge is initially broken and requires repair.
• Repaired by completing the Crafts Room bundles in the Community Center or by purchasing the Bridge Repair option from Joja Community Development Form.

🌟 Features

• Filled with rocks, ore nodes, and geode-bearing stones.
• Regenerates ores and nodes each day, though in smaller amounts compared to the Mines.
• Can produce Copper, Iron, Gold, and Iridium Nodes, as well as Mystic Stones.
• No monsters spawn here, making it safe for farming resources.

🏰 Quarry Mine

Next to the Quarry is the Quarry Mine, a small dungeon area. It contains unique enemies and valuable loot, including the powerful weapon Golden Scythe, found in a statue inside the mine. Unlike the main Quarry, the Quarry Mine features combat and a different layout.

💡 Strategy

• Use bombs to quickly clear rocks and maximize ore respawns.
• Check daily for rare nodes such as Iridium or Mystic Stones.
• Visit the Quarry Mine to obtain the Golden Scythe early — it’s stronger than the standard scythe.
• In late game, pair Quarry resources with Crystalariums and furnaces for efficient metal production.
