What's the point of the quarry cave in Stardew Valley?

What happens when you get to level 100 in Skull Cavern?

Reaching Skull Cavern Level 100 triggers a special event with Mr. Qi (if you have Secret Note #10), where he rewards you with Iridium Snake Milk for a permanent health boost, with slightly different dialogue if you used over 10 Staircases. This unlocks deeper exploration, offering more Iridium, but Level 100 itself is primarily for this reward and a guaranteed treasure chest, with deeper levels containing tougher monsters and better loot.

Can you use staircases in Skull Cavern?

Yes, you can absolutely use staircases in Stardew Valley's Skull Cavern to descend floors quickly, especially useful for skipping tough monster floors, but using more than 10 results in a different (less honorable) dialogue from Mr. Qi when reaching floor 100, though the reward (Iridium Snake Milk) is the same.

Is it better to pick miner or geologist?

Neither a Miner nor a Geologist is universally "better"; it depends on your playstyle in Stardew Valley, with Miner great for early game resource gathering (ore for crafting tools/sprinklers) and Geologist better for late-game income (more gems for selling/gifting) or museum completion, though Miner is often favored for overall utility. Miner gives +1 ore per vein, accelerating tool upgrades and crafting, while Geologist gives 50% more gems from rocks, making money faster initially, notes Stardew Valley Forums. You can switch professions later for 10,000g at the Statue of Uncertainty in the Sewers, says Stardew Valley Forums.

What does 75% profit margin do in Stardew Valley?

In Stardew Valley, a 75% profit margin setting means you only earn three-quarters (75%) of the normal selling price for your crops and fished items, making the game significantly harder and slower, as profits are reduced by 25% (100% - 75%), requiring more crops or alternative income like animals/mining to progress, explains wikiHow, Reddit users and Steam Community members. This option, added in Update 1.5, slows down early game progression, making tool upgrades and buildings major investments and forcing reliance on other skills, say Stardew Valley forum users and Reddit users.
