Stardew Valley Bug Meat Guide
Whether you’re a new player or have been playing for a while, it’s very possible that the Stardew Valley Bug Meat still confuses you. How can you use the Bug Meat? Can you eat it? Can you use it as bait? Here you can find the answers to these questions and more.
Let’s take a look at this item and what is the real purpose of it in the game!
What is the Stardew Valley Bug Meat?
Well, first things first, this is a Monster Loot item. Meaning, such Monsters as Bugs, Cave Flies, or Mutant Flies can drop the Bug Meat during a fight. If you’re a fan of going down to the Mines, you’ll most likely collect plenty of Bug Meat along the way.
However, if you don’t like the risk and prefer farming, you can also get it from the Fish Ponds. They produce plenty of Bug Meat (20 Bug Meat) if the Pond population is at least 9. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to have Dorado, Lingcod, or Pike in the Pond for this to happen.
Here’s How You Can Use Stardew Valley Bug Meat
Even though you might not want to give Bug Meat to your friends in Stardew Valley (yes, not so surprising that they’d hate this as a gift), there are still really nice ways to use it.
Bait
Fishing is one of the best activities in Stardew Valley. However, it’s not always so easy to catch decent fish. If you want to make fish bite faster, you’ll need some Bait. You can either make regular Bait from 1 Bug Meat or Wild Bait from 5 Bug Meat, 10 Fiber, and 5 Slime.
P.S if you happen to have some Wild Bait while fishing, it can help you catch two fish at the same time. It’s a great way to save time and energy while improving your results!
Food
Of course, Stardew Valley Bug Meat might not be the first thing you’d choose to eat. However, sometimes desperate times require desperate measures. For example, you can make a Bug Steak from 10 Bug Meat.
This is very beneficial if you’ve been in the Mines for a long time and ran out of energy. Even though this might not be the best steak you’ve had, it’s still a way to keep your stomach full in the game! It’s very easy to lose the track of time and run out of food, so try to keep some Bug Meat in your inventory.
Quests
You might also need some Bug Meat for various quests. For example, if you’re doing the Juicy Bugs Wanted quest, Willy will ask you for 100 Bug Meat. It’s a great way to add 3k Gold to your account if you manage to stumble across so much meat!
Whether you’ll choose to eat the Bug Meat or use it for bait while fishing, it can still be very useful in the game. Don’t forget to add the Bug Meat to your inventory when you come across it
