📋 About This Mod
Now Compatible with Stardew 1. 6
Note for authors of Skill Mods utilizing SpaceCore:
All of the following should be done in your own mod's files.
All of the rings are added right before a save is created or a save begins to load, meaning with the proper setup you can edit the rings using Content Patcher. Anything about them can be changed other than their effect and price, though just to be safe I would stick to changing the:
-
[]DisplayName
[
]Description[]Texture
[]CustomFields
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Objects",
"Time": "{{Range: 0600, 2600}}"
"Fields": {
"RingID": {
"DisplayName": "Something Else",
"CustomFields": {
"AlphaMeece. SkillRings_Shop": "SeedShop"
Some notes:
-
[]The "When Time" isn't required per se, but it removes a warning content patcher gives on startup since the rings don't actually exist until the player starts a game
[
]"RingID" will be: AlphaMeece. SkillRings_Ring- For example if JohnDoe made a horsemanship mod and the skill's ID was JohnDoe. Horsemanship, the rings would have the IDs: - AlphaMeece. SkillRings_JohnDoe. HorsemanshipRing1 - AlphaMeece. SkillRings_JohnDoe. HorsemanshipRing2 - AlphaMeece. SkillRings_JohnDoe. HorsemanshipRing3
- The only customfield used by the mod will be "AlphaMeece. SkillRings_Shop" and the value associated with it should be the name of the shop in the game, I don't see why this wouldn't work with modded shops, but I have not tested it as of yet. If this custom field is excluded it will default to the traveling merchant. If the value is a shop that does not exist then it will default to traveling merchant and display a message in the console.
SpaceCore Based Skill Mods
All custom skill mods made with space core are automatically compatible with this mod, the rings will be automatically generated and sold by the travelling merchant. You can disable this functionality in the mod's configuration file.
"moddedSkillrings": true/false
Notes for Generic Mod Config Menu users:
Any updates to skill buffs will not occur to a worn ring until it is re-equipped.
Any updates to a ring's price will not occur until a new day has passed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 862 endorsements and over 52k downloads
- Skill rings stack with food, so you can layer buffs for serious progression
- Experience boost rings are a godsend for leveling alts or late-game grinds
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or install instructions provided by the author
- Only adds rings—if you wanted amulets or other gear, this won't cover it
For players who want to speed up skill progression without grinding, especially those who enjoy min-maxing with food buffs. If you're a completionist or play modded with harder progression, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or want more than just rings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple item mod, just drop the files into your mods folder—no load order fuss.
- Test the rings in a dev world to see exactly which skills they boost before using them in your main save.
- Pair the experience rings with skill rings for a double whammy on leveling speed.
