My wife and I have grown to hate Pierre. Don’t know where it started but it’s been a while.

So we started the No Pierre challenge.

Rules. You can’t buy anything from Pierre. No backpacks, seeds, trees, anything.

You CAN sell your merchandise to Pierre. Forcing him to pay you is funny.

You can’t use the shipping box either. Sell everything to the proper merchant yourself. Give the mayor a break.

You can’t use JoJo mart either. I feel that should go without saying but I wanted to be clear.

Goal. Ginger island within 3 years.

The ONLY hard part is apples. Only two locations. The fruit cave and the weird travelling merchant lady. We call her Mabel.

Otherwise, have fun. The game actually doesn’t get that much harder, it’s just a fun way to make Pierre feel bad. He isn’t useful to us except for his money. Maybe we’ll do a full run without selling anything to Pierre next time

    A “fuck Pierre” challenge sounds fun!

    The ONLY hard part is apples. Only two locations. The fruit cave and the weird travelling merchant lady. We call her Mabel.

    The 8th prize ticket reward is a toss coin between apple and pomegranate tree saplings. Mystery boxes also give you apple tree saplings; the odds are small (0.1%), but they also give you non-flower seeds: ~13% of the time, so it might be worth to actually look for them.

      Neat, we started this challenge a couple years ago, and we haven’t bothered with the updates yet. This prize ticket is something I didn’t know about since it’s release last spring.

      And funnily enough “Fuck Pierre” challenge was the original name. We started using No Pierre so my son could join our game lol

      No idea. Money was never an issue though, we were always able to afford what we needed.

      We keep restarting too once we reach Ginger island. We want a perfect farm with dinosaurs which we only got once on a really lucky fishing. Got six dino eggs from fishing lol
