Other Methods To Get Rainbow Shells
Not The Most Efficient, But Fun Regardless!
Do you like turtles? Of course you do. Once you max out your friendship with your first pet, you can buy a turtle from Marnie. The price will be steep, of course, but it’s a turtle!When you max out your friendship with the turtle by petting it every day, it will have a chance to drop Rainbow Shells. Statistically, this is very unlikely (20% chance to drop a gift, 4% chance for the gift to be a Rainbow Shell) and the work and money put into getting the turtle will likely never pay off, but if you already have a turtle, it won’t hurt to keep petting it.
If you enjoy the Mines,activating the Shrine of Challenge can cause Rainbow Shells to spawn in the Mines. This can happen once you unlock Qi’s Walnut Room and complete the Danger in the Deep quest. Once you have this quest out of the way, you may go back to the Mines, and upon reaching level 120 you can activate the Shrine of Challenge, a toggle between normal Mines and the Dangerous Mines inStardew Valley.
