Stardew Valley Help Wanted Board Guide
Help Wanted board guide for Stardew Valley daily quests, two-day timers, item delivery, gathering, fishing, slay monsters, Saying Hello, Gofer, A Big Help, Prize Ticket stars, friendship rewards, and route planning.
Quick facts
The Help Wanted board outside Pierre's may post a random quest on most days after Spring 1.
Accepted Help Wanted quests last for the current day plus the next day.
Completing Help Wanted quests fills a three-star counter toward Prize Tickets for Lewis's Prize Machine.
Pick quests by route
The board is strongest when it supports a day already planned around town, mines, fishing, or resource gathering. A good request adds value to an existing loop instead of hijacking the whole day.
- Take delivery quests when the item is stored or easy to reach within two days.
- Take gathering quests before mining, chopping, or breaking rocks.
- Take fishing and monster quests when the fish window or floor range already fits the route.
Stack rewards
Help Wanted rewards are layered: gold, friendship, achievement progress, and 1.6 Prize Tickets can all come from ordinary board consistency.
- Delivery quests can beat shipping value and grant villager friendship.
- Gofer and A Big Help reward long-term quest completion.
- Prize Ticket stars connect daily errands to the Prize Machine reward queue.
