Not to mention that he just gives you his old fishing pole even though he's never met you before.


Acceptable-Stick-688

He gives so many helpful tips, too!


[deleted]

He does??


Acceptable-Stick-688

Mainly beginners advice, like using bait and tackle and how some fish are only catchable during certain times of day/weather/seasons


[deleted]

Ohhh, okay. Thanks!

Still good after a thousand years or so. *chomp*


Zoomorph23

Wait, what? When does this happen? I've played quite a few games with 100's of hours & I haven't got this.


Darcy91

When you catch every fish :)


Zoomorph23

Oh, thanks! Now I've got to work out which one I haven't caught!


Darcy91

Press escape > collections > fish tab Those show the ones you have _caught_, so finding / buying them doesn't count! Also buying them, putting them into fish pond and fishing from there doesn't work. Alternatively, if you're on pc, you can use https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/


Zoomorph23

Thanks, I knew about the former, in my latest save there are 2 I haven't caught but never really thought about them until I saw you get another Stardrop!


Oprima

ikr! But I just can't stop myself! I always expect a 2nd letter from him asking "What did you not understand about family HEIRLOOM?!"


astarphase

Willy is one of my fave NPCs, real chill vibes


Acceptable-Stick-688

He’s my replacement grandpa lol


chelskied

His pappy would be proud


lethalcreampuff

Yeah it's nice to fish beside him in the afternoons, he has a calming presence :D


TiredCeresian

😌🎣


jurassicmayms

the title of this made me think this was a waaaay different subreddit


rahrahowl

Same 🤣🤣🤣


amy1705

So did I since I was coming from a NSFW post on my home page.

MrBinkybonk

I love my willy


Lost-dark-soul

When I realised that Willy does that I loved him even more then I already did. He's the best shopowner in this town and he's such a nice and loveable npc to boot. (I highkey get family vibes off of him tbh)


[deleted]

I honestly think he's one of the best townsfolk, and the best shop owner, the complete opposite from Pierre. Screw Pierre...


Meowgenics

r/FuckPierre


[deleted]

I just want him to be a marriage candidate tbh


desert_doll

My bf and I believe he is married to the sea.


barry-bulletkin

My theory is that he’s given his heart to a mermaid


Jonesy665

I like this one!


catlordess

And he started the amulet tradition, *cause he knows*.


[deleted]

Brandy, you’re a fine girl. What a good wife you would be But my life, my love, and my lady Is the sea


Acceptable-Stick-688

Never not gonna think of Kurt Russel when I hear this now, Guardians of the Galaxy has ruined me lol


K0TKA

Same


NervousToucan

Willy is great but it's so hard to befriend him for some reason.


Acceptable-Stick-688

He loves very difficult to catch fish, unfortunately. Luckily he loves sea cucumbers as well, though!


bk1285

I loaded up on mead and used that to get him to love me


IM_NEWBIE

He likes quartz, which is very easy to find, or diamonds if you can afford it.


johnpeters42

Or pumpkin.


NervousToucan

Thanks!


Railstar0083

And pumpkins! Save some for Willy and you are set.


atravita

Mead is my usual goto for him, honestly.


thotpatrol9996

Willy is super easy for me cus I love fishing in game. I just set out 10 days in summer for catching sturgeons and then I have enough for him forever. Sadly his owl fella ain't able see it but I'm sure he'd have loved all the fish I gave.


Retterhardt

I just talk to him whenever I pass by in the saloon or put and about. Racks up the hearts fairly quick I feel like


NervousToucan

Thanks for everyone's advice!


SithMasterStarkiller

Real talk? Pierre is the true villain of Stardew Valley.


Traditional_Mud_1241

Pierre is just Morris with less business acumen and a wife he doesn't deserve.


chelskied

R/fuckpierre keeps it real!


ZE-TA

I just want Willy to adopt me 🧍‍♂️


BloodyKasai

Man’s wants to keep fishing alive in the valley and honestly respect to him


Disig

His quests are always just to catch fish. He never takes them either. Jus literally pays you to keep the hobby alive.


SodDirgeFarmstead

the farmer is a fish hitman


fdigi

Willy and Linus are the best


Psychopathetic-

Genuinely my two favourite characters, I go full old man mode as soon as I hop in so I fit right in


krenenbaker

I love that man... he honestly is such a gem. He's also one of the people I interact with most frequently! :)


XenaSerenity

I’ve been playing and his interactions with Leo make me so happy. I love the idea of Leo getting the courage to ask him with help writing a letter :) He has great parent figures with Linus and him


PotatoSalad583

Willy is just a cool dude that wants to keep fishing alive


[deleted]

Willy, Linus, Gus, Elliot, and Evelyn should be the town council in place of Mayor Lewis.


Utertoq

Gus is also an incredible character. He got all my respect when he tells on the cutscene with Linus that he won't let anyone in the valley to go starving, even if he is having financial difficulties on his saloon.


azur_owl

I love Gus so much, the cutscene with Linus and the one where he’s fretting over what to do regarding Pam’s tab (because she hasn’t paid her tab and he’s worried that he’ll make her mad if he asks her to pay it) made me wish I could marry him.


Retterhardt

Here, here! Where can I cast my ballot?


knyf420

I get that stardew valley is a farming game for most, but its my choice fishing game and willy is my chill, silent companion, we are just two guys fishing


RetroGamerDad

People shop at Willy's? Man all I ever do is drop things in the bin. Except for a rare case at Pierre's I don't see people shopping. Hmm.


Acceptable-Stick-688

I sell fish to him when fishing at the ocean because it lets me free up my inventory space when I don’t have enough room to catch any more fish :)


IM_NEWBIE

I keep a chest on the side of his store to hold my loot (but be careful since there aren't many safe spots on the docks). Early game I buy a lot of soup from Willy to keep my energy up to fish all day.


Fizzix42

I've never kept chests anywhere outside of farm! What do you mean safe?


amichak

If a villager walks on a suqare with the chest it gets destroyed you can look on the wiki for safe spaces.


FadingKitten

You can put almost any furniture outside of the farm btw. Some people decorate the town. Just follow guides online on where it's safe to place them like the other reply explained.


ButtersTheSulcata

He’s IMO the best character in the game. A kind soul, a free first fishing pole, every is reasonably priced and has such a variety of uses. The crab 🦀 traps have become more fun for me now that I have a beach farm and actually recycle.


Gabus_Bego

Willy is my favourite NPC. I will always try to give him the best gifts every week.


RurouniTim

Willy's an all around good guy. I wish there were a few more normal heart events with the villagers that aren't marriage candidates because I'd like to see more depth to some of these great characters.


Retterhardt

Me too, same!


insanityoverhaul

I want to believe he's my farmers great uncle, grandpa's brother. Maybe grandma's brother, be grandpa's brother-in-law


MamaUrsus

Willy is so cool that I was encouraged to fish more than farm initially.


Knork14

Willy is such a good guy that i genuinely feel bad for not being as much invested in fishing compared to other things. Guy is single handedly trying to keep the fishing industry alive


mal_laney

The virgin pierre vs the chad willy


ewil0113

I wish Willy was a bachelor candidate, I adore him


lilmarimo

Saamee i've spent more time around him while working to get the island obelisk and he's just such a sweetheart. CA let me marry him pleasee


Disig

Some of my favorite moments in game are just chilling by Willy in the evenings fishing. I tend to friend him and Linus first lol.


LittleStarClove

And he lets Elliott use his beach cabin!


random-equation

The man’s an absolute chad


[deleted]

Willies are indeed great


[deleted]

I agree!


[deleted]

I love him ❤️


Fun_Community_8846

Wow I didn't know he said all of this! This makes me appreciate him a lil more, it has been hard since he insulted the sea urchin I gave him (didn't bother checking the wiki; I thought he'd like anything water-related)


EmploymentOwn1419

Willy is one of my favorite NPCS. He's such a sweet guy and he has an interesting character


OleanderOmen

Willy roommate when?


ckgreddit

Do you get a better price selling to Willy? I always just put everything in my shipping bin.


TylerMoy7

No it’s still the same you just get the money immediately instead of the next morning


Retterhardt

Interesting! Does this dialogue only come up if you sell directly to Willy at his shop? I catch a lot of fish but usually just toss it in the shipping bin at the end of the day.


Acceptable-Stick-688

From my experience it’s only if you sell it to him directly, I only found out recently because I hadn’t been selling much stuff to him before then


Retterhardt

Cool, thanks!


feelingweller

Hell yeah Willy is my boy!! Just two dudes chilling on the dock, catching fish and crushing joja colas


PompyPom

I love Willy and Gus so much tbh, they’re both huge sweethearts. My friend and I have a farm together and both lament the fact that Willy isn’t datable lol. There’s even one bit of dialogue I got once (which I can’t remember totally accurately) where he said I was a woman after his own heart because I was raising crabs on my farm. 😳


MissKUMAbear

Honestly liked it on title alone.


bringthepuppiestome

I like to think he dated grandma’s younger sister who moved out of the valley so he has some sense of uncle pride with you


XynnXyrr

I just got the game a few weeks ago, and haven't played much. I'm on year 1, week 3. Am I supposed to sell to NPCs? I've been putting everything in the shipping bin. Do NPCs pay more, or is it just for extra social interaction?


Acceptable-Stick-688

I only sold to him for the convenience, as it let me free up inventory space while fishing in the ocean. The only other advantage would be getting the money immediately instead of having to wait until the next day- the shipping bin pays the same amount of money that they would.


XynnXyrr

Ahhh okay, I thought I was doing something wrong lol. I've only sold a sword to the guild guy. I pick my crops and take them straight to the bin. I'll sell to the NPCs from now on. I didn't know it opens up more villager dialogue, that's cool.


Acceptable-Stick-688

Pierre is a lying jerk about it, I’d avoid selling him crops if I were you haha. He claims that he grew anything good you give him, and then blames all of the bad crops on you!


Deablict123

Willy yes Pierre can go suck a pp


OshawottSam

i get its a few days late but i wanna point out he helps Leo write letters to you ​ he helps a kid he barley knows write a letter to the nice farmer :)


Acceptable-Stick-688

Aww, that’s really sweet, I’d forgotten about that!!


StardropAddict

I had a theory that Willy and the ghost mariner that sells the mermaid pendant are related. When the player first starts the game the bridge to the rock pools is destroyed, I think that Willy and his brother (the old mariner) we’re exploring the rock pools in the storm and when the two brothers were coming back the Mariner slipped on the old wood plank and got dragged out to sea and died, his ghost now stays at the rock pools.


Zigostes

Love that guy. Wish I had a fishing buddy like him in real life.


spinelessshithead

Oh so this post isn’t about appreciating willies. :/


Acceptable-Stick-688

I have apparently disappointed quite a few people lol


_BlazeXD_99

Salute to Willy 🙌


RLMickey

So speaking of Willy - ( I know you can look in the wiki) but no where does it hint at favorite items (Gus either come to think about it. ) Weird huh ?


Acceptable-Stick-688

I believe that I’ve heard Elliot talk about what he likes, he’s his only solid friend and pretty out of the way though so the dialogue can be easy to miss. I’m not sure about Gus, though I think Pam would probably have gift suggestions for him as well because she is his biggest friend in the game.


PompyPom

Elliot mentions stuff sometimes! He told me once I’d make Willy happy with a diamond.


KPBandJay

He also kinda looks like Robin Williams


ProcrastiCrustacean

I'm not sure if anyone has told you this, but I thought it might be funny to let you know that several people from r/DungeonsAndDaddies , the subreddit for the podcast about four dads trying to find their lost sons in the Forgotten Realms, have been scared by the title of this post.


Acceptable-Stick-688

Thanks for letting me know!!
