Sell Price	250

A Gold Bar is created by smelting 5 Gold Ore in a furnace with 1 coal for fuel, or by transmuting 2 Iron Bars into one Gold Bar. Smelting Gold Ore in a furnace takes 5 in-game hours. The "Transmute (Au)" recipe is earned at Mining Level 7.

A Gold Bar can be found (rarely) in the Garbage Can next to the Blacksmith, after the player has unlocked the Furnace blueprint. Five Gold Bars are the reward for completing the Enchanter's Bundle on the Bulletin Board. If Clint is your secret gift-giver at the Feast of the Winter Star, he may give you 5 Gold Bars.

Gold Bars are also dropped from Dust Sprites (0.1% chance), Squid Kids (5% chance), Shadow Brutes (1% chance), and Shadow Shaman (1% chance). They may be dug up in The Mines at floors 41-80 (0.1% chance).

Gold bars are used in a variety of crafting recipes and are used to upgrade tools to tier 4. One Gold Bar can be sold for 250g, or 375g with the Blacksmith Profession.

Gold Bar Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [336]. You will then receive the Gold Bar item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [336] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Gold Bar item.
