Given the choice between the Coopmaster and Shepherd, I’d say the Shepherd has more to offer. This buff applies to all barn animals like Cows, Goats, Sheep, and pigs. The Shepherd specialization makes your barn animals more friendly, it gives sheep the ability to produce wool faster and also increases the quality of barn animal products.

So this buff applies to all coop Animals like Chickens, Ducks, Rabbits, Void chickens, and Dinosaurs. The Coopmaster specialization makes your coop animals more friendly, it halves the time it would take to incubate eggs, and also increases the quality of all your coop animal products. That’s not all, you also have to make a follow-up decision at level 10 between two specializations: Coopmaster Players already know that the 40% price increase of Artisan goods is far better, but they can’t deny that this 20% price increase in Rancher is also a solid perk. If you choose the Rancher profession at level 5, you instantly get a 20% increase in the price of your animal products, which is pretty good. This is why I am here to break down each profession for you, provide its pros and cons, and leave you with a conclusive answer at the end that will help you a lot in your decision-making.

While if you prefer to grow crops then you should pick Tiller, it looks simple enough but it isn’t. To be honest, a lot of players have mixed feelings on what to decide between the Rancher and Tiller, some prefer the consistency of the Rancher profession, while others would rather save up or convert their crops to Artisan goods and sell them for a huge profit.Īlthough the correct choice might seem pretty straightforward, if you want your farm to be Animal-based and if you prefer raising animals then you should pick Rancher. So naturally before making these decisions you should first understand what exactly you are about to get into in the long run, as well as the benefits of the decision and its consequences. Stardew Valley is a game that is heavily reliant on making a tonne of good decisions if you don’t want to pay a tonne of money later on to change a wrong decision. Tiller makes your early to the late game very secure, but Rancher doesn’t offer these decent enough traits and it is animal-based. Tiller is the best profession because it makes your crops worth 10% more, but at level 10 you can get the Artisan skill which makes all Artisan goods worth a whopping 40% more.
