Everything You Can Do with Mayor Lewis's Lucky Purple Shorts in Stardew Valley 1.6

New Uses in Stardew Valley 1.6

• 🎣 The Lucky Purple Shorts can now be used as a fishing tackle, and when placed in the first slot of an advanced iridium rod, they make the tackle in the second slot indestructible.
• 🐠 Players can now place the shorts as a decoration in any fish tank, including the community center's tank, for everyone to see.

Obtaining More Purple Shorts

• ✂️ The previous trick of using a staircase on the pants slot to get trimmed shorts was patched in update 1.6, but you can still tailor them with a gold bar to create a wearable, trimmed version.
• 🏠 A secret pair of shorts can be found in Lewis's basement, accessible by placing a staircase in his room after reaching two hearts of friendship, leading to a maze and a flying shorts monster.
• ♾️ The basement method allows for an unlimited supply of Lucky Purple Shorts, enabling players to have multiple pairs for various uses.

Classic Pranks and Displays

• 🎪 Displaying the shorts at the Stardew Valley Fair's Grinch display makes Lewis upset but rewards 750 star tokens, and you get to keep the shorts.
• 🍲 Adding the shorts to the Luau potluck soup will disgust the governor, triggering special dialogue, but surprisingly does not negatively affect relationships, and you retain the shorts.
• 🪧 The shorts can be displayed on signs throughout Stardew Valley, including your farm and town, as a humorous way to invade the mayor's privacy.

Interacting with Characters

• 💬 Giving the shorts to Marnie will trigger a unique, somewhat interesting dialogue from her.
• ✅ Eventually giving the shorts back to Mayor Lewis will complete the associated quest, though there are no other benefits beyond clearing your quest tab.
