Trappers get reduced resource requirements to make crab pots.

Pirate (Fisher Level 10) - Chance to find treasure is doubled (around 30% chance, more with higher luck).

Angler (Fisher Level 10) - Fish are now worth 50% more.

This is a nice, flat boost that affects both reel and crab pot fishing. The fisher profession offers a 25% boost to all fish value. Even if you have a large animal farm, you may be better off turning those products into artisan goods and benefiting from the higher sale price. The boosts to coop and barn animals are much more narrow. This is due to the fact that animal products AND garden produce are boosted when turned into artisan goods and you have ample choices for making them.

Agriculturist (Tiller Level 10) - All crops grow '10%' faster.īetter Choice: By and large the biggest boost to profit in Stardew Valley is to be gained from taking Tiller with the Artisan Profession.

This includes things like wine, beer, and cheese.

Artisan (Tiller Level 10) - Artisan Goods are worth 50% more.

Shepherd (Rancher Level 10) - Befriend barn animals faster.

Coopmaster (Rancher Level 10) - Befriend coop animals faster.

Special moves are not very useful most of the time, so I didn't even consider acrobat. Some damage will be wasted with crits on weak monsters though, and that must be considered. With Scout/Desperado the damage is not nearly as reliable though it probably comes out similarly on an average. Fighter will help you to rip them to shreds and give you a minor defensive boost. You can already spam attacks and stunlock most monsters.

Desperado (Scout Level 10) - Critical hits deal more damage.īetter Choice: Fighter is probably the better pick, just for the reliable damage.

Acrobat (Scout Level 10) - Cooldown on special moves is halved.

You won't crit half the time like you may think. Not additive, but does stack with other bonuses.

Defender (Fighter Level 10) - You gain +25 HP.Ĭritical strike chance increased 50% over the base amount.

Brute (Fighter Level 10) - Damage is increased another 15% to 25% over base.Combat Professions Fighter vs ScoutĪll attacks deal 10% more damage and you receive +15 HP. A secondary purpose of this list of professions is to let players know ahead of time the choices they will get to make at level 10. Some are a bit too powerful or weak, however, and that may lead you to wanting to know which is generally perceived as the best pick.

Overall you should pick that which matches your own preferences. That said there are dozens of combinations of professions because of this, though only some of them make a huge difference in play style. Based upon your first selection, you get a second bonus at level 10, which further specializes you in the selected profession. Once you hit level 5 in a skill in Stardew Valley, you'll wonder which profession is the better choice.
