How to Get the Wedding Ring Recipe in Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley, a charming farming simulation game, allows players to build relationships, get married, and even craft a Wedding Ring to propose to another player in multiplayer mode. If you’re wondering how to obtain the Wedding Ring recipe and what materials you’ll need to craft it, this guide will walk you through the entire process.
The Wedding Ring is a special item that allows you to propose to another player in the multiplayer version of Stardew Valley. Unlike the single-player marriage system where you use a Mermaid’s Pendant, the Wedding Ring is specifically used in co-op play to propose to your fellow farmers.
To craft a Wedding Ring, you’ll first need to obtain the recipe. Here’s how you can do it:
Visit the Traveling Cart
The Traveling Cart appears every Friday and Sunday in Cindersap Forest, just south of your farm.
Look for the merchant in the purple wagon with a pig next to it. The merchant sells a variety of random items each week
Purchase the Wedding Ring Recipe
Check the merchant’s stock when the cart appears.
The Wedding Ring recipe costs 500 gold.
Once you’ve purchased it, the recipe will permanently unlock in your crafting menu.
After obtaining the recipe, you’ll need the following materials to craft the Wedding Ring:
1 Iridium Bar:
Iridium Bars are crafted by smelting 5 Iridium Ore and 1 Coal in a Furnace.
You can obtain Iridium Ore by mining in the Skull Cavern or by panning for ore in rivers and ponds.
Some monsters in the deeper levels of the Mines and Skull Cavern also drop Iridium Ore.
5 Gold Bars:
Gold Bars are crafted by smelting 5 Gold Ore and 1 Coal in a Furnace.
Gold Ore is found in the deeper levels of the Mines (floors 80 and below) or can be obtained from geodes and panning.
Once you’ve gathered these materials, head to your crafting menu, locate the Wedding Ring, and click on it to craft it.
Equip the Wedding Ring
Once you’ve crafted the ring, place it in your toolbar.
Approach the Player You Want to Propose To
Walk up to the player you want to propose to in the game.
Propose
Click on the player with the Wedding Ring equipped. They will receive a proposal notification.
If the player accepts, you’ll be officially engaged, and a wedding will be scheduled for a later date.
