How to earn Stardew Valley Mastery Points

The process of earning Mastery Points in Stardew Valley is extremely straightforward. Once you've managed to master a skill, earn experience in a skill. The experience earned is tracked in the Mastery Bar on your character page and once it's full, you'll earn a Mastery Point.

It's worth noting that you can still earn Mastery Points even if you've not mastered all five skills. Unfortunately, you won't be able to spend them until the door of the secret room is opened.

Mastery Points are an excellent way to earn EXP points for skills you've already mastered. It also adds an additional incentive to continue replaying the game and to redeem all of the rewards on offer.
