Elliott was my Secret Santa at the Winter Star festival. It went about as well as you'd expect.
We all know Elliott tries so hard to be this sophisticated, poetry-writing gentleman who orders "cherry-toned port" at the Saloon.So when I found out he was my Secret Santa at the Feast of the Winter Star, I expected something elegant. Perhaps the ever so infamous and highly sought after tea set. No. Instead, he hands over a bottle of... generic, unlabeled, base-game Wine.
As an endgame farmer running a highly optimized, multi-million gold Artisan empire, this felt like someone handing me a master craft brewer a warm can of Bud Light. It has a base value of 400g. It is the gas-station dishwater of the Stardew universe.
I didn't drink it. I didn't store it. I didn't even re-gift it to Leah.
I dragged his mystery juice straight into my Iridium Trash Can right there at the festival.Because my trash can is fully upgraded, I instantly reclaimed 60% of its value. I literally pocketed the gold for vaporizing his cheap holiday gesture into pocket change.
No regrets. If you aren't bringing Starfruit or Ancient Fruit to the table, Elliott, it goes in the purple bin.
