Coal is a type of resource in Stardew Valley. It is obtained in many different ways, primarily while mining or bought from Clint, at the Blacksmith's shop, for data-sort-value="150">150g. Other ways include recycling trash and finding treasure chests while fishing. Coal is used in some crafting recipes and allows for smelting in a furnace to occur.

Locations

• Coal can sometimes be found by mining rocks — both in the mines and anywhere on the map.
• Coal can be foraged on the beach in the fall, including coal with quality stars. Gold star coal sells for 22g
• A Charcoal Kiln can be used to convert 20 wood into 1 coal
• You can farm coal by killing Dust Sprites between levels 41-79 (Use the elevator to come and go to do it faster). Doing that is an easy way to farm Iron Ore as well.
• A much more target-able way to farm both Coal and Iron Ore is to start level 50, where level 51 has a high likelihood of both Dust Sprites and Iron Ore, while 52 is a long narrow path to a guaranteed ladder. 53 on a good day is an infested level normally filled with Dust Sprites and a free ladder to 54 if looking for more Iron Ore; rinse repeat.
• When farming Dust Sprites for Coal, it is best to wear a Burglar's Ring earned by killing said Dust Sprites.
