Okay, so today I decided to dive into something I’ve been putting off in Stardew Valley – getting myself a Blobfish pond. I’ve heard they’re kinda weird, but also profitable, so why not? Here’s how it all went down.
The Setup
First things first, I needed an empty fish pond. Luckily, I had built one a while back and never used it. If you haven’t built one yet, you gotta talk to Robin at her carpentry shop. It’s gonna cost you some stone, seaweed, and green algae, plus a bit of gold. No big deal, just make sure you’ve got a clear spot on your farm.
The Hunt Begins
Next up, the Blobfish. These guys aren’t just swimming around in any old river. Nope, you can only catch them at the Night Market, which only happens in Winter, from the 15th to the 17th. Specifically, you have to fish in the submarine. It cost 1,000g per time to get into the submarine. And, you have to go down to the bottom of the ocean and get the fish there.
So, I waited, did my usual farming thing, and finally, Winter 15th rolled around. Headed straight to the beach, found the Night Market, and beelined for that submarine. Paid the guy, hopped in, and started fishing.
Patience is Key (and a Bit of Luck)
Let me tell you, it wasn’t instant. I fished, and fished, and fished some more. Got a bunch of other weird deep-sea creatures, which was cool, but no Blobfish. I was starting to think my game was glitched or something!
Then, finally, bam! I got one. That weird, grumpy-looking, pink blob was on my line. It was strangely exciting. I carefully reeled it in, added it to my inventory, and quickly exited the submarine.
Home Sweet Pond
Back at the farm, I went straight to my empty pond and interacted with it. It gave me the option to toss in the Blobfish, and I did just that. Poof! One lonely Blobfish swimming around.
The Waiting Game (Again)
Now, the Blobfish doesn’t just magically multiply. It takes a few days for them to reproduce. You gotta check the pond every day. It’ll have a little exclamation point above it when there’s something to collect or when the fish have a request.
- Day 1: Just one Blobfish, chilling.
- Day 3: It wanted something…I forget what, maybe some algae? Tossed it in.
- Day 5: Boom! Two Blobfish! And they produced some Roe. Sweet!
The Payoff (and the Weirdness)
So, the main thing Blobfish produce is Roe, which you can age in a Preserves Jar to make Aged Roe, which sells for a decent amount. But here’s the kicker – they can also randomly produce other, weirder stuff. Like, I got a Pearl once! That’s pretty rare and valuable. They’ve also coughed up some Warp Totems and even some random junk. It’s a gamble, but that’s part of the fun.
Now, my pond is slowly filling up with these grumpy little guys. The more you have, the more often they produce stuff, and the higher the chance of getting those rare items. It’s a slow burn, but a surprisingly satisfying one. And, honestly, watching those weird blobs swim around is kinda entertaining in its own way.
If you need a little fun, I think Blobfish is a good choice to put in your fish pond. It’s a good way to get extra money.
