How to Complete the Missing Bundle in Stardew Valley
A no-nonsense guide to unlocking the Missing Bundle, grabbing every required item, and fixing up that dusty old JojaMart.
Figuring out how to complete the Missing Bundle in Stardew Valley is one of the sneakiest endgame goals in the game. This hidden bundle sits in an abandoned building, asks for six silver-quality items, and gives almost no hints. It's easy to skip if you don't know what you're looking for. Don't worry, though—by the end of this guide, you'll know exactly what to do and bag one of the best rewards in the game.
The Full Walkthrough for the Missing Bundle
The Missing Bundle is a secret, one-time bundle that only appears after JojaMart closes. It's not part of the six Community Center rooms. Instead, you'll find it inside the old JojaMart building in Pelican Town. Walk to the back of that dusty store and look for a strange, glowing bundle on a shelf. That's the Missing Bundle.
What do you get for finishing it? A Stardrop, which permanently raises your max Energy by 34. Trust me, that extra energy is a huge help when you're running a big farm with crops, animals, and a million daily chores.
Items the Missing Bundle Needs
Here's your exact shopping list:
- Large Egg (silver quality or better)
- Cloth (silver quality or better)
- Goat Cheese (silver quality or better)
- Wool (silver quality or better)
- Truffle (silver quality or better)
- Wine (silver quality or better)
Every slot needs at least silver quality. Gold and iridium versions work too, so don't hold back if you've got something better.
Step-by-Step: How to Complete the Missing Bundle
Let's break this down one step at a time.
Step 1: Shut Down JojaMart
Before the Missing Bundle can show up, JojaMart has to leave town. Two ways to make that happen:
- Finish the Community Center. Complete every bundle in all six rooms. Once the building's restored, Joja loses business and closes.
- Go the Joja route. Buy the Joja Community Development Form from Morris for 5,000g, then pay for every town project on the list. After the last purchase, JojaMart shuts down too.
Either way, the building becomes the Abandoned JojaMart. The door stays open, so you can walk right in. No keys, no tricks.
Step 2: Collect All Six Silver-Quality Items
This is the part that takes the most time. Here's how to snag each item without pulling your hair out.
Large Egg (Silver)
You need a standard large chicken egg—not a duck egg or void egg. Chickens lay large eggs once their friendship and mood are high enough. Pet them daily, keep their food bowl filled, and add a heater to the coop in winter. Before long, you'll see silver and gold large eggs showing up regularly.
Cloth (Silver)
Cloth comes from putting wool into a Loom. The cloth's quality always matches the wool's quality, so you need silver-quality wool to get silver-quality cloth. Heads up: the Cloth slot is separate from the Wool slot. That means you actually need two pieces of silver wool—one for the Wool slot and another to run through the Loom.
Goat Cheese (Silver)
Put goat milk into a Cheese Press and you get goat cheese. The cheese quality depends on the milk quality. So you need a goat with high friendship to produce silver milk. Keep your goat fed, pet it daily, keep the barn warm in winter, then press that silver milk into silver goat cheese.
Wool (Silver)
Sheep give you wool when you use Shears on them. Wool quality is tied to the sheep's friendship level, just like milk and eggs. Rabbits can drop wool too, but sheep are way more reliable for this quest. Raise a couple of sheep and collect wool over a couple of weeks until you've got two silver pieces.
Truffle (Silver)
Pigs dig up truffles when they're outside. Here's the tricky part: truffle quality is tied to your Foraging level, not the pig's friendship. The easiest fix? Pick the Botanist profession at Level 10 Foraging. That makes every foraged item come out at Iridium quality, and truffles count. If you didn't pick Botanist, just collect truffles over several days and save the silver ones.
Wine (Silver)
Kegs turn fruit into wine. The wine comes out at the same star quality as the fruit you put in. So grab a silver-quality fruit—grapes, starfruit, ancient fruit, whatever—and toss it in a Keg. Wait about a week, and you'll have silver wine ready.
Step 3: Turn In the Items and Grab Your Stardrop
Head back to the Abandoned JojaMart, walk to the back, and interact with the Missing Bundle. You can deposit items one at a time, just like regular Community Center bundles, so don't wait until you have all six to start.
Once every slot is filled, the bundle disappears and you get a Stardrop. Eat it to permanently boost your max Energy. As a bonus, completing the Missing Bundle also kicks off the Movie Theater unlock in that same old JojaMart building. Two rewards for one quest? Yes, please.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Bringing regular quality items. The bundle needs silver or better, plain and simple. Regular items won't fit, and you'll just stand there wondering what's wrong.
Forgetting you need two silver wools. This trips up tons of players. The Wool slot and the Cloth slot are separate, and silver cloth needs silver wool. So you need two pieces total.
Selling silver items by accident. I've done it far too many times—tossed a silver large egg into the shipping bin without thinking. Keep a labeled chest for your silver stuff until you're ready to deposit.
Using a Preserves Jar instead of a Keg. A Preserves Jar makes jelly, not wine. Wine only comes from a Keg. Double-check your machine before you wait a whole week.
Hunting for the bundle too early. The Missing Bundle doesn't exist until JojaMart is abandoned. If you're walking into a working JojaMart, you're way too early.
Not planning for the truffle. Without Botanist, silver truffles are a luck game. If you haven't chosen your Level 10 Foraging profession yet, Botanist is the smart pick for this quest.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Missing Bundle
Can I complete the Missing Bundle if I chose the Joja route?
Yes. As long as JojaMart closes, the Abandoned JojaMart opens up. That's true whether you finished the Community Center bundles or bought every Joja Community Development project.
Do gold or iridium items count for the Missing Bundle?
Yes. The bundle only requires silver or better, so gold and iridium versions of any item will fill the slot just fine. No downside to using a better-quality item.
Is the Stardrop reward worth the effort?
Absolutely. A permanent +34 max Energy is huge for endgame farming, and it also helps unlock the Movie Theater. One of the best late-game rewards in Stardew Valley.
What happens if I sell an item I need by mistake?
Just go get another one. There's no time limit on the Missing Bundle, so you can take days or even seasons. Double-check your inventory before selling anything silver, and you'll be fine.
