All About Lance in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley is one of the most popular farming simulation games you can buy today. With its cozy gameplay and charming characters, it’s no wonder that the game has a massive following. Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) adds even more depth and content to the game, introducing new characters, locations, and storylines for players to enjoy. One of the standout characters in this mod is Lance. This article goes over everything you need to know about Lance, who he is, and where to find him.

Who is Lance?

Lance is a character introduced in the SVE mod, which can be downloaded on Nexus. As a seasoned adventurer and member of the mysterious Adventurer’s Guild, he plays quite the role in this mod. Not only is he depicted as a veteran explorer with extensive knowledge of various dungeons and hidden areas but he also provides players with new quests and is a romancable character.

Meeting Lance

Meeting Lance for the first time in SVE is quite the milestone. He can be found at the Volcano Forge on Ginger Island. To meet him, you must first unlock access to Ginger Island. This involves completing either the Community Center or JojaMart bundles and repairing Willy’s boat. Once on the island, you’ll need to fight through the volcano dungeon to reach the forge. He introduces himself as a seasoned adventurer and invites you to look deeper into the mysteries on the island. 

Lance’s Schedule

Understanding Lance’s schedule in Stardew is important for those wanting to build a relationship with him. His schedule varies throughout the week but most of the time you can find him at the Volcano Forge. However, he also ventures to other parts of Ginger Island and sometimes visits Pelican Town on certain days. 

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, he can be found at the Volcano Forge. On Tuesday and Thursday, he spends time exploring the Ginger Island jungle. On Saturday and Sunday, he makes trips to Pelican Town, where you can find him visiting the Adventurer’s Guild or taking a break at the Stardrop Saloon.

Building a Relationship with Lance

Lance loves gifts such as Dragon Teeth, Mango Sticky Rice, and Iridium Bars. Additionally, he likes gifts like Omnigeodes, Pineapple, and Solar Essence. Avoid giving him Daffodils, Joja Cola, and common items like Stone or Clay. Gift-giving is such an important part of increasing hearts with characters in the game. Each loved or liked gift you give him raises your friendship points. Building a strong relationship with this character unlocks new dialogues, quests, and even potential romance options.

After Marrying Lance

Once married, like the original Stardew villagers, Lance moves into your farmhouse and adds a side room. This room features a Monster Crop garden and allows you to grow unique crops year-round. These crops not only look impressive but can also be used in various recipes and crafts. 

His daily routine includes maintaining the Monster Crop garden and assisting with farm chores. Occasionally, he’ll venture out to explore or gather materials. He actively participates in town festivals. Whether he’s showcasing Monster Crops or engaging in community activities, his presence makes festivals more enjoyable. He also continues to give thoughtful gifts.

Wrapping Up 

Lance is one of the most popular characters in Stardew Valley Expanded. He offers the perfect blend of adventure and romance. His unique heart events and energetic presence make him a great character to build a relationship with. Once you’ve completed a vanilla playthrough, I highly recommend downloading this mod. It adds much variety to the game.
