This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section. |
- Not to be confused with Lost Books.
Books, when read, give players permanent advantages, either powers that grant abilities, knowledge, or quality-of-life upgrades like seeing sell prices, or else "points". If the player has not yet unlocked access to the Mastery Cave, those "points" consist of experience points (XP) in the various game skills. Points are awarded either towards experience in one specific skill, or else are distributed equally among all skills. If the player does have access to the Mastery Cave, then the "points" are Mastery points.
Books must be read to receive advantages. Once found, a Book can be read by selecting it in the top row of inventory and right-clicking (as if consuming food).
When playing in Multiplayer, the effects from a book will only apply to the player that reads them. Individual players will need to read individual books to receive their effects.
Books can be obtained in a variety of ways. All books can be gifted to Penny as a loved gift.
