Monster Musk is a crafted item used to encounter more monsters. The recipe is earned after completing the Wizard's Special Order "Prismatic Jelly". It can also be obtained by trading a Combat Quarterly with the Bookseller.

Monster Musk has a duration of 10 Minutes. If any player has the Monster Musk buff, the number of enemies on a given floor of the Mines, Skull Cavern, or the Volcano Dungeon when entering the floor is doubled.

It is a special-effect buff, meaning that drinking Monster Musk will not remove any buffs from consumed drinks or food, or vice-versa.

Monster Musk 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 [879]. You will then receive the Monster Musk 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 [879] 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 Monster Musk item.
