Let’s meet Stardew Valley’s Clint and see what he’s about. This gentleman isn’t a marriage candidate, though you can become good friends with him by giving him some excellent gifts. He’s Pelican Town’s blacksmith who tends to hang back from the crowd, but he does give you the plan for a furnace along with other helpful recipes in the mail. Here’s where to find him and what to give him.

If you come across someone you haven’t met yet, see who they are in our Stardew Valley characters guide. Then, why not grab your rod and head to the river to catch some Stardew Valley fish or plan your next Stardew Valley farm layout?

When is Clint’s birthday?

Clint’s birthday is Winter 26, and if you give him a loved gift or a stardrop tea on this day, you’ll earn double friendship points – who doesn’t want to be friends with Clint?

What are Clint’s favorite movies and concessions?

If you want to take Clint to the movies for a nice night out – good luck, he doesn’t love any movies. Basically, pick anything and he’ll probably be happy. Get the man some fries, too as he doesn’t really like a lot of the concession options.

What’s going on between Clint and Emily?

Clint loves Emily. That’s it – that’s the tea. He hasn’t told her, though, as he’s too shy, but everyone in town knows it. If you woo Emily and marry her before getting Clint’s hearts up, it blocks you out of a heart event as he’s sad because you totally stole his girl. Clint often goes to the Saloon while Emily is working to try to talk to her, and owner Stardew Valley’s Gus definitely knows about his affections. It’s not confirmed if Emily feels the same way, though she chooses to dance with Shane at the festival – so take that how you will.

There you are – everything you could possibly need to know about Stardew Valley’s Clint. Maybe it’s time to meet some other key members of the town like, Stardew Valley’s Lewis, Stardew Valley’s Linus, Stardew Valley’s Wizard, and Stardew Valley’s Demetrius.
