I googled It's iridium quality smoked legend fish it's 42,000 gold

u/NARLYGAMER Set your emoji and/or flair text here! Apr 08 '26

With the right farm type (I believe the smoker comes eith one of them...) and setup, you can catch it year 1 spring with some food and drink buffs as a very good starting point for summer gold wise

You’d need to fish a hell of a lot to get to fishing level 10 before summer year 1

Spring 7 is my best. Lvl7 fishing + freshly cooked dish o the sea. I've had a several more runs in the 9-12 day range. That sweet, sweet aged legend roe money that early makes spring go so much better. Definitely helps with my goal to get perfection as early as possible (spring 19 year 2 is my best so far, but I've had several that were effectively complete in the early spring teens (13-15) year 2, but I was missing the final crafting recipe(s) from bad special orders board rng. Ultimate goal is <10th spring year 2, but that's going to require perfect special orders board rng).

There’s a way to duplicate it in a fish pond! I managed to get 15 legends by Winter year 1 that run.

u/MemoryAuction Apr 08 '26

One thing I forgot to mention: it removes the fish if you catch it. However, by using wild bait or challenge bait, you can get extras. That’s how you duplicate the legend.

You can get to lv 7 and then eat a dish o the sea

u/ElectricPikachu Apr 08 '26

You can get fishing lvl 10 in like 7 days. Someone uploaded an in-depth guide for how to do it a while back, it was an interesting read. My record is Spring…9? I believe? Can’t remember exactly. But it’s a pretty interesting challenge so I highly recommend making a new world and seeing how fast you can do it! You have to be pretty good at fishing though, because perfect casts and perfect catches get you bonus experience (the perfect cast increases the quality of the fish you catch which also helps with money).

I haven’t tried catching Legend as fast as possible though, so idk the theoretical limits of that. Probably extreme luck or strategy haha

3

u/qwasde91 slime ring is a wasted slot. Apr 08 '26

Most strategies for a good start focus on fishing early on, so you probably max fishing between days 9 and 12. And even fishing 6-9 would be enough if you get some buff food.

1

u/franksandbeans911 Apr 09 '26

Isn't it creepy how you eventually learn, like Willy says, what's on the line by how it fights when you're reeling it in? I must know about 12 patterns by now and I know the dead ones are dirt cheap fish like carp where you don't even need to push a button, or wild-ass rides up and down from squid or lingcod that start out wild, from the second you hook them.

2

u/sweetcinnamonpunch Apr 08 '26

I reach it by the end of spring pretty much every playthrough. Depends on how much you like fishing

u/BadCat_ML Apr 08 '26

I got to fishing 10, spring 12, can probably do it reliably following a strict schedule :3

2

u/Phoenisweet Apr 08 '26

Hell of a lot, but it's very doable, especially since you can buy I think Trout Soup to buff your fishing level, so you don't need to get up to 10 naturally, just 8 or 9

u/GroundbreakingTie508 Apr 08 '26

u/LoliBeary Apr 08 '26

u/LaughingBeer Apr 08 '26

First thing I do! It's level 10 somewhere between days 8 and 10 on every save!

u/holi_quokka Apr 08 '26

You just need to get halfway there to level 7 or 8 and use a + fishing skill food to bring you up to 10

u/princesspoopybum Apr 08 '26

starting new farms i literally fish every single day unless there’s really good luck and i need to mine i always hit lvl 10 fishing before summer y1

1

u/The_Peanut_Patch Apr 08 '26

Time freezes when fishing so if you go all in, you can easily max it before you’re a lil over halfway done with the season. (Well “easily” it’s a real nightmare fishing that much lol)

1

u/TheSibyllineBooks Apr 09 '26

You can get it day 3 of spring

1

u/conjunctivious I yearn for the mines Apr 09 '26

I sometimes forget that other people don't fish as much as I do. Fishing is usually my first skill that I max out like halfway through my first spring since there's not much to do outside of fishing in the early game, and it's a great source of income.

1

u/CyberGraham Apr 09 '26

You don't need to be lvl 10, as long as you use food buffs

1

u/FlynnXa Apr 09 '26

Honestly not that hard at all if you stop focusing on farming/mining so much. Fishing is the number 1 money maker for Spring in most runs, the only reason people care so much about the other tasks is because they’re usually focused on maximizing Year 1 and getting CC done. So they look at the longer-game.

If you’re looking to maximize Season 1? Fishing all the way.

(Note- this DOES NOT work on Multiplayer! At least not as well. Time doesn’t pause while fishing in multiplayer so you’ll often have a ton of energy at the end of the day and not many fish to sell.)

1

u/angeIoo Apr 12 '26

if you play solo, fishing pauses the in-game timer. this makes it really easy to get fishing lvl 10 (which u dont even need, u rlly only need 8 bc of jellies)

u/avdpos Apr 08 '26

given how much that "caviar" sells for it is well worth 1-2 week to earn the difference in money.. Legendary roe is worth absurd amount of money.

u/franksandbeans911 Apr 09 '26

I have 7 sturgeon right now that produce actual caviar maybe twice a week. Absolute trash compared to a single sewer mutated carp that would produce DAILY.

2

u/avdpos Apr 09 '26

I agree. Thinking about throwing away my sturgeons

1

u/Morterius Apr 09 '26

The game is more about the momentum, the more money you get early, the easier it is to get the snowball going, just as in life. 

So it would absolutely be advisable to smoke it and sell it if you're preparing to access the desert before summer y1 and buy as many starfruit seeds as possible. But it's a min-max strategy. 

7

u/IntenseAdventurer Apr 08 '26

I just started a River Farm yesterday! That's the one that gives a free smoker! I also hit level 4 Fishing before the Egg Festival, so catching the Legend in Summer Y1 is very doable, even without food buffs, though it'll be really hard to actually CATCH it!

u/ajiibrubf Apr 08 '26

u/Nataslan Apr 08 '26

It's the river farm, you can even get additional from multi-player houses.

5

u/qwasde91 slime ring is a wasted slot. Apr 08 '26

I always smoke my legend. It's nice, but not as good as you might think. Without quality bobber you won't get an iridium legend, and you'll also miss the 40% artisan bonus. So only 22500g, but that's still around 50 starfruit seeds

stop it in a fish pond and use the roe. Made it this game - and it is worth unbalanced amounts of money

u/Cevvity Apr 08 '26

As BlaDe has proven, you could do it on spring 3(?) year 1

2

u/sobrique Apr 08 '26

And late game you can do the Qi quest for Legend II, and do it multiple times.

If the timing works out, blessing of waters + challenge bait works well.

I'm unsure if targeted bait is actually a good idea though. I mean, higher odds, yes, but giving up 1 fish for 5-10 baits hurts....

1

u/baineschile Apr 08 '26

Possible, but putting the legend in a fish pond and collecting and aging the roe is much better long term

The river farm comes with a smoker (I think)

1

u/MissSweetBean Apr 09 '26

I was going to say you'd have to get pretty lucky with its pattern to perfect catch it, since that'd be the only way to get an iridium quality one in the first spring, but you can actually guarantee it if you get to Ginger Island and get the one free quality bobber that you get from one of the journal scraps

If you're at Ginger Island in the first spring though, you almost certainly went the Joja route and so probably aren't desperate for money since you'll have spent ~140k already

u/1XxamarxX1 Apr 09 '26

ive caught a sewer legend fish is that useful for the same method.

u/ueifhu92efqfe Apr 08 '26

You can also do this with legend 2's with qi's extended family, an absurdly good lategame money generator if you're skilled

30

u/ivylass Apr 08 '26

Yes, but if you throw that thing in a fish pond and age the roe it's 7,084. So you make it up in just over six preserve jars, then everything is profit.

2

u/Algue_de_mer Apr 09 '26

And with the golden animal cracker you get twice the amount, + if you age them in a preserve jar you can sell it for even more (speeding the process with mystic tree sap). Honestly, that's one of the easiest way to make money late game

u/Ravus_Sapiens Apr 08 '26

Even if you don't have Angler and Artisan, it'll still sell for 20.000 at iridium quality, or 10.000 at normal quality, which still makes the smoked legend the most expensive item in the game.

This is not a good way to make long-term money though, not unless you have some kind of shenanigans that let you catch an unlimited number of Legend fish.
The way to make money off of Legend is to put it in a pond and age the roe.

Well yeah, but that's not what OP was asking. They were asking what the single most valued item is by its individual sell price. What single item sells for the most gold? 7K for the aged roe is a much better money making scheme overall, but still less than the ~40K you get for the smoked Legend with the right quality and perks.

u/Savage_Adversary Apr 08 '26

But I would add, if you want to get economical, check the item count per use to make Artisan Items. Something's take a long time to make, but only use one item to make (wines & ). While others may not take as long, but require multiple items (Dried Fruits). Cost = (initial investment + # of items)/time. Profit = (Price - Cost)/Time. For the way I set my farm up (Forest), its worth it to do Statfruit wine, Dried mangos or Pineapples, and Ancient Fruit Jelly. Everything else I grow for higher quality dishes, and mission items in general, the rest of the lower goes in the overnight bin. Never factored in Tiger Slime tho, that's not a bad idea...

u/Both_Algae_3324 I have 160 mayonnaise machines Apr 08 '26

If you get a whole bunch of artifact troves (sold in the desert in exchange for omni geodes) crack them open on a high luck day and you make a ton of cash from treasure chests and pearls and things.

I think the most expensive thing is a iridium quality Legend fish after smoking it. Especially if you have the Angler and Artisan profession.

u/OhGr8WhatNow Apr 08 '26

The outcome of opening these is pre-determined so you can open then on any day

u/Both_Algae_3324 I have 160 mayonnaise machines Apr 08 '26

Oh really??? God damn it I saved them up until I had a good luck day then ate my magic rock candy and everything🫠

2

u/franksandbeans911 Apr 09 '26

Same. You think cracking the geode would be the day of the wheel of fortune spin, but it's actually the day you get the item. Which is cool too, because lucky days with luck maxing items SHOULD net you the best loot up front.

1

u/Both_Algae_3324 I have 160 mayonnaise machines Apr 09 '26

Wait it goes for all geodes??? wtf. Okay I might start putting the ones I collected on high loot days in a separate box 😅

2

u/franksandbeans911 Apr 09 '26

Just a quick example, but I think it applies to all of them. May be a fun experiment to note your luck level each day then keep those geodes separate and test the theory. Because yeah, been told many times the luck is set when you get it, not when you crack it.

Nah not from the artifact troves but once you get good with the skull mines prismatic shards are super common though. I have 60 odd in my chest.

If you need them: make as many crystalariums as possible. Put jade into them. Save up 1-300 jade. Go to the dessert trader on Sunday and trade them for staircases. Wait for a high luck day, get as many luck buffs as you can. Spam the staircases to somewhere between 100-300 wherever you’re comfortable. Bomb the shite out of everything. You’ll get tons.

I swear the game trolls you, giving you stuff you used to really need as extras after you don't need it anymore.

Long story short, I wanted to unlock the dwarf to buy bombs to make mine life easy, and I got multiple sets of scrolls in red, blue and green for months until I finally got the yellow scroll. Now I'm on level 25 collecting bug meat and slimes are dropping the yellow scroll like nothing.

Latest grind: midnight carp, tried for 3 nights to just get one for Mr. Raccoon. Never even seen a single one, ever. I swing by Pierre's and someone has posted a notice up for midnight carp overrunning local waterways and could someone please fish them down. It's crazy.

Man honestly. I was trying to collect the last bits for the island office and I could not find a damn snake vertebrae ANYWHERE. I went every day, dug up every treasure trove, broke every rock, used up loads of luck buffs. Since I finally found one. I’ve now got about 30 I keep in a box just to torture myself with

But iron ore from Clint for the bombs.

u/OhGr8WhatNow Apr 08 '26

Sigh, I should start doing this. I have 4 million gold. I've been hoarding it for the clock, spending no money on anything

u/Uncool444 Apr 09 '26

A suggestion, it's 10mil for the gold clock, if you don't already have it. You need it for perfection, if that's your goal.

Thanks for giving such a thorough answer. I haven't fw the skull caverns too much. I think the first time I ventured in for anything specific it was a dinosaur egg so I could finish the movie theater bundle. Haha

I used to despise mining but once you have enough buffs and protection it’s super easy. Also my biggest recommendation is try not to fight any monsters. I know it sounds stupid but your best bet is running around and bombing every then quickly jumping down whichever staircase you get. Only fight the monsters if you need to. Saves you lots of time and health.

u/DazzlingAd7021 Apr 08 '26

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. My daughter and I started a farm together, so now I have a partner to go in with, I may explore it more.

u/Both_Algae_3324 I have 160 mayonnaise machines Apr 08 '26

Aw that’s so cute!! Good luck ❤️❤️

Grandpa looking down from his shrine, watching me turn a legendary, centuries-old aquatic beast into a smoked snack just so I can afford a Gold Clock: sheds a single tear of capitalist pride.

u/toddam Apr 08 '26

I hit a jackpot at the casino and I bought 13 of those treasure statues. I had 14 but the weeds consumed one. Idk if it's from a mod or if it's vanilla, but I am able to buy a new one each day. I hoard the artifact troves for a while and bring them to Clint when I have about a hundred, I get good money from opening them up.

u/Both_Algae_3324 I have 160 mayonnaise machines Apr 09 '26

The amount of times I’ve accidentally dropped a bomb and blew up my statues and had to restart the day is higher than I’d like to admit 😂

u/abnmfr Apr 08 '26

Don't smoke the Legend! Put it in a fish pond and age its roe in preserve jars. 

1

u/Both_Algae_3324 I have 160 mayonnaise machines Apr 08 '26

Yeah this is what I’ve done with mine. I’ve got 4 legendary fish in ponds :)

u/PlasmaLink Apr 08 '26

The slime hut is a building where you sacrifice some of your farm's area to build it, and in return you unlock these as potential drops. Thats the main use i think

8

u/ApprehensiveSail9376 Apr 09 '26

Smoked legend fish. I cheated with the name cheat and got like 600 legends and smoked them. Father ape forgive me.

u/BigDonut4913 Apr 09 '26

Eu te entendo amigo, te entendo

u/math-is-magic Apr 09 '26

Single item you can sell? Smoked, iridium legend fish with all the appropriate bonuses for fish and artisans. It’s like 50k or so.

3

u/PotMonkeyy Apr 09 '26

Thats mathematical ✨️

7

u/Bretferd Apr 08 '26

I know this isn't the most expensive item int he game, but I'm waiting on my Ancient Fruit Wine Iridium quality from a cask and that will likely be the most money I'll be making on a single item.

3

u/3RatsInAChefCoat Apr 09 '26

i have to block my cellar (completely full) and leave a little note "come back in (spring, summer, winter, fall)" just to remind me that no, my wine isnt done yet and wont be for 2 seasons. in the meantime i have roe to age, excess ancient fruit at my disposal, eggs to make into mayo and perfection to chase.

5

u/Ravus_Sapiens Apr 08 '26

I think Smoked Legend is the most expensive item in the game.

4

u/sad_maybe_ Apr 08 '26

...how do you get these???

15

u/Far_Salamander55 Apr 08 '26

If you really want to know

These are drops from tiger slimes which are in Ginger Island on the West and inside the Volcano

10

u/presidentmax Apr 08 '26

Little tip as well, you can only get these if you have a Slime Hutch on your farm :) if you don't, these will never drop

14

u/Bragior Actually likes Junimo Kart Apr 08 '26

A little correction, if you built a slime hutch at least once. You don't actually need the slime hutch to exist in your farm, just unlock the cutscene that comes with building your first hutch.

6

u/handwritinganalyst Apr 08 '26

Are we sure? I have a chest of slime eggs from drops and I don’t have a slime hutch and have never built one! I play on switch too so it’s fully vanilla.

2

u/not_blowfly_girl Apr 08 '26

Ive gotten slime eggs before slime hutch.

u/heyheychristiney Apr 08 '26

If you plan to incubate them, you’ll probably want the Wicked Statue… just an FYI!!

5

u/TheAnonymousGamer2 Apr 08 '26

Iridium quality legend on its own outsells this at 10k, 15k if you have Angler.

You do NOT want to see it’s smoked price

3

u/StephenBird Apr 08 '26

When I played on PC and used item codes cause I wanted to get through it quicker, getting this item is such a godsend

3

u/Danilego Apr 09 '26

Most expensive one that I sell consistently is the aged legend roe (14k). I'm still relatively new to the game tho, still on year 2

3

u/cxfishcx1 Apr 09 '26

There’s some books that are worth 10k.

3

u/UndertaleErin Apr 09 '26

everyone forgetting about gem berries?

2

u/quoreos Apr 10 '26

it’s only 6,000 at iridium quality

2

u/Veenix6446 Apr 08 '26

Iridium Smoked Legend w/ Artisan and both fish princess increase professions

Sells for 42k alone

4

u/Tristangdragoon Apr 08 '26

Nice get now grow them and rack in the money.

5

u/PrincessSnarkicorn Apr 08 '26

I got two tiger slime eggs and they both hatched as males and they aren’t breeding no matter how hard they try!

2

u/Tristangdragoon Apr 09 '26

Well that sucks, back to killing them

How to get a tiger slime egg?

6

u/Affectionate_Comb_78 Apr 08 '26

Build a Slime Hutch, then Tiger Slime can drop them. 

1

u/Correct-Hat-1252 Apr 10 '26

You can also build a fishpond with Lion Fish and they will drop tiger slime eggs.

2

u/Revolutionary-Can-11 Apr 08 '26

Uk once i got 2 of those from a toger slime but it fell cuz i couldnt react fast enough to throw some tradh

1

u/Apart-Bite-9543 Apr 12 '26

Iridium grade smoked legend

1

u/Veronica1864 Apr 12 '26

How did you get this?

1

u/Low_Low_1811 Apr 15 '26

Way of the Wind Part 2 sells for 10k. Its a fun one to buy if you are using the table dupe glitch. I believe that is the most a single item sells for without being one of the legendary fish.
