|keywords=Stardew Valley Wiki, Stardew Valley, Magnet, gift |site_name=Stardew Valley Wiki |type=article |title=Magnet - Stardew Valley Wiki }} The Magnet is a type of bait that doubles the chance of finding Treasure Chests (30% chance instead of 15% base). It can be crafted, purchased from Willy's Fish Shop for data-sort-value="1000">1,000g after reaching Fishing Skill Level 9, bought from the casino's store for data-sort-value="1000">1,000, or received as one of the prizes for winning the ice fishing contest at the Festival of Ice. It can also be received as a gift from Willy at the Feast of the Winter Star, and may randomly appear in Krobus' shop on Wednesdays. It may also randomly appear in the Traveling Cart's stock for data-sort-value="15"100–1,000g.

Magnets can also be used in Crab Pots, but it is no better than standard bait (crab pots never yield any treasure).

Notes

Despite the description, the Magnet has the same effect on fish bite rate as standard Bait (decreasing biting time by 50%).
While the Magnet can be purchased at the Fish Shop for data-sort-value="1000">1,000g, crafting is a cheaper option, even if purchasing the ingredients. In year 1, 5 Iron Ore and 1 Coal cost data-sort-value="900">900g at the Blacksmith (data-sort-value="300">300g per magnet). In years 2+, 5 Iron Ore and 1 Coal cost data-sort-value="1500">1,500g (data-sort-value="500">500g per magnet).
Success at playing the minigames in the Casino can also yield virtually free Magnets from the Casino shop.
