How to Get the Secret Notes in Stardew Valley
To get the Secret Notes in Stardew Valley, first, you gotta make sure you’re in Winter of Year 1 or later cuz that’s when they start popping up. Then, you need to get the Magnifying Glass. This happens through a special quest that kicks off when you enter Cindersap Forest between 6 am and 4 pm. A Shadow Guy will drop it after a quick cutscene, and then, bam, you're ready to find those notes! They can drop from various activities like mining, fishing, chopping trees, and slaying monsters. Keep at it, and you'll have a collection of these mysterious notes in no time.

Actually, the quickest way to snag those Secret Notes? Just go about your daily farm life! Seriously, just keep fishing, mining, and whacking weeds. Those notes will start rolling in without you even trying too hard. It’s like they say: a watched pot never boils, or in this case, a directly hunted Secret Note never drops.
Gotta disagree with the hustle vibe here. Found my first Secret Note by just chilling and fishing on a lazy Sunday in-game. Stardew’s all about that laid-back farm life, not turning everything into a grind fest. Relax, and let those notes come to you.
