Upon reaching Farming Level 10, you can purchase it from Marnie’s Ranch for 25,000 gold. Marnie will send you a mail in your mailbox once you’ve reached this level, informing you that you can purchase some new things from her shop. 

Moreover, you can purchase as many as you can afford and use each by putting it in the said farm buildings. But sadly, it’s a piece of unsellable machinery. You better think twice before purchasing plenty of it.

What are the Disadvantages of Using Stardew Valley Auto-Grabber?

This is inevitable, but do we have a solution?

It truly is handy equipment. But still, getting your hands on it can be pretty challenging. You might need to grind your way up to obtain this item if you’re a beginner. Moreover, it comes with disadvantages despite being helpful. It prevents you from earning +5 friendship points from your animals since you interact less with them.

Failing to milk and pet them causes you to lose five to ten friendship points. It hinders you from earning good friendships with your farm animals, giving you poor-quality items.

Nonetheless, you can counter it using an Auto-Petter. It’s a piece of equipment that focuses more on petting animals. You can buy it from JojaMart for 50,000 gold, but you may also acquire it in these areas in-game:

  • Obtain it as a special item by breaking crates and barrels in the Mines during the Danger in the Deep Quest.
  •  Treasure chest in Skull Cavern.

FAQs

Do you need an Auto-Grabber for each building?

It’s not mandatory for you to get it for every farm building. But if you wish to experience the convenience it offers when gathering these loots; it’s recommended to purchase them.

Does the auto grabber work on slimes? 

Sadly, it doesn’t work on Slime Hutches. It only helps in accumulating items from your farm animals. Hence, you’d still need to prepare for battle whenever you visit this building.
