How to Get a Rabbit's Foot in Stardew Valley
There are various ways to get a Rabbit's Foot in Stardew Valley, but the most obvious one is how gamers can make sure they're able to collect this item on a regular basis.
Purchase and Befriend Rabbits
Rabbit is one of the many farm animals available to players in Stardew Valley. After building a Deluxe Coop, the player can purchase rabbits from Marnie.
A rabbit will drop an item every four days as long as it is fed. While rabbits will typically drop wool, they may also drop a Rabbit’s Foot if their friendship and happiness levels are high enough. Players can make sure their rabbits are happy by feeding them every day, closing the coop’s hatch in the winter, and by petting their rabbits.
Only fully grown rabbits have a chance of dropping a Rabbit’s Foot.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to get a Rabbit's Foot from a rabbit in Stardew Valley:
- Build a Deluxe Coop
- Buy a rabbit (or more)
- Pet, feed, and take care of the rabbit
- Check the coop for items every four days
Get a Pet Cat and Befriend It
At maximum friendship, players will receive presents from their pet cat. In Stardew Valley, players can befriend their pets by interacting with them and filling up their water bowl daily.
Over time, the number of hearts between the two will increase. Once they've filled all the hearts, the cat will bring them presents, and the Rabbit's Foot is among the items that it may fetch for its owner.
Purchase a Rabbit's Foot at the Desert Festival
The Desert Festival takes place in the Desert during Spring 15, 16, and 17. During each day, two villagers will put up a stand with goods available for sale.
Each villager has their own catalog, and if by any chance, Jas shows up, then gamers will be able to buy Rabbit's Foot from her, as it is a guaranteed ware. Jas sells Rabbit's Foot at the Desert Festival for 100 Calico Eggs.
Purchase a Rabbit's Foot From the Traveling Cart
The merchant will sometimes sell a Rabbit's Foot within a price range of 1,695g and 2,825g. The Traveling Cart can be found on Fridays and Sundays in the northwestern corner of the Cindersap Forest, south of the player's farm.
This isn't a guaranteed spawn at all since the merchant always brings in random items. However, if players aren't able to acquire a Rabbit's Foot any other way, it's worth checking out the cart once it's in town. The Traveling Cart is open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, but it is also available during the Night Market event and the Desert Festival.
Explore the Skull Cavern
Certain monsters known as Serpents will occasionally drop a Rabbit’s Foot when defeated. Serpents are hostile creatures that can spawn at all levels of the Skull Cavern, and they have a chance of dropping a variety of items when defeated, including a Rabbit’s Foot.
However, this isn't a reliable way of acquiring a Rabbit's Foot because Serpents have less than one percent chance of dropping this item. Additionally, when players reach the Skull Cavern, they'll most likely have rabbits on their farm and have a more reliable way of getting a Rabbit's Foot.
