In fact , she instantaneously hates them , so do n’t even bother seek to win her over by give her a Prismatic Shard .

You Can Craft With Your Prismatic Shard
Wedding Rings & Enchantments
And while there are no immediately obvious crafting recipe that make use of Prismatic Shards , there are a few more advanced craft job that require them .

The formula can be bought from the Traveling Cart when it ’s in town on Fridays and Sundays , or during the Night Market and Desert Festival . Until it ’s buy , it ’ll always appear in the merchant ’s inventory in a multiplayer secret plan , disregarding of their other armoury , but in a single - player game , it wo n’t appear at all .
thespian will postulate aMermaid ’s Pendantto propose union to an NPC villager ( or aVoid Ghost Pendantto make Krobus their roomie ) .
Keep in mind that this is useless in a single - player game , or one in which the players all contrive to wed NPCs;a Wedding Ring is only used when two role player characters wish to get married to one another . That said , if player one ’s design is to finalise down with player two , and they want to do so preferably rather than afterwards , it makes sense to save a Prismatic Shard for the ring .

Other Uses For Prismatic Shards
Stores, Swords, & More
There are a fistful of other many-sided employment for Prismatic Shards , but most of them - besides one - represent pretty fringe guinea pig , and are n’t particularly helpful to the player . Let ’s set out with the most useful one : take a Prismatic Shard to the center of the three pillars in the Calico Desert and hold it aloft to get theGalaxy Sword .
With 60 - 80 damage , this is one of the best weapon the player can reliably obtain inStardew Valleyby the sentence they unlock the Calico Desert . If the player has been struggling with Skull Cavern , then the Galaxy Sword can be a game auto-changer , and well worth the Prismatic Shard price .

And that ’s absolutely everything a player can do with a Prismatic Shard .
