Two Point Campus is, at the end of the day, all about making a profit. Sure, you want to make the best university possible with the happiest students, but that's all in service of raking in the dough so that you can upgrade your facilities further and keep improving. While normal cash is what you will be spending on most things, Two Point Campus also brings in a second, much more valuable type of currency, just like its predecessor Two Point Hospital.

What You Need

  • Research Lab

Kudosh isn't something you're going to be gaining and spending all that often during the majority of your missions in Two Point Campus. This special form of cash is used to buy the most powerful upgrades that can seriously swing your students' happiness levels. You can never have too much Kudosh, especially in the later stages of the game where your student population has grown and more is being asked of you to keep them happy. If you need a lesson on how to farm some Kudosh in Two Point Campus, there's no enrollment fee for our guide.

How to earn Kudosh

Before we get to the best ways to farm Kudosh, we need to know how to get this premium currency in Two Point Campus. Here are all the ways you can earn Kudosh naturally in the game:

  • Completing random objectives and events
  • Bookworms
  • Research Lab
  • Career Goals
  • End of Year Achievements
  • Completing Star Objectives

Step 1: Random objectives and events will pop up in your messages throughout the game. These are all optional and can cover just about anything from inspections to course events, but will reward you with both money and a small amount of Kudosh for completing them. It's not a ton, but worth keeping up with for a steady trickle of Kudosh.

Step 2: Bookworms will take their heads out of the ground on your campus from time to time. If you're fast on the draw and can click on one before it burrows back down again, there's a chance you will get some Kudosh for your efforts depending on the breed of Bookworm.

Step 3: Once you're far enough into the game to unlock the Research Lab, you will also start getting Commercial Projects whenever you're not actively researching anything. They require a teacher to staff them, but are a set-it-and-forget-it method for earning Kudosh. Just be aware of how long the projects last, as a 300-day one may not be worth it.

Step 4: Career Goals are basically milestones you're bound to hit sooner or later just by playing Two Point Campus. These can be earned by developing friendships, winning awards, and more. Each goal also has a tier, so the more you do a certain thing, the more Kudosh you will earn. The bronze level will get you 50, 75 for silver, and 100 for gold.

Step 5: Every school year ends with a little award show detailing how well you did and rewarding you with some End of Year Achievements. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell beforehand which, if any, award you're going to win, but assuming you're running a thriving and happy campus, you should be able to count on raking in a few awards each year. Each one you receive comes with 10 Kudosh.

Step 6: Every mission in Two Point Campus will come with one, two, and three Star Challenges. They are progressively more difficult but also grant higher payouts. Focus on these since you will earn a minimum of around 100 Kudosh for each one you finish.

Best way to farm Kudosh

While there's no real way to exploit the systems of Two Point Campus to earn a ton of Kudosh right away, you can set yourself up to essentially grind out this currency with little to no effort. This will all depend on you having a very stable campus established with high happiness and grades right off the bat, as well as at least three Research Labs and high-level staff members to tackle Commercial Projects.

Step 1: Set up your Research Labs to work on as many high-payout projects as possible.

Step 2: Set the game speed to the maximum speed, but keep a very close eye on both your students' happiness levels and their grades.

Step 3: Slow time down whenever you need to set new Commercial Projects, but otherwise keep speeding through to the end of the year.

Step 4: Rake in your End of Year Achievements and repeat the process.

How to get the Mermaid Pendant in Stardew Valley
A wedding in Stardew Valley. The player characters is marrying Haley, who's in a bridal gown. They're standing underneath an arch with all the townsfolk watching.

Unlike in games like Stardew Valley, there are no tips and tricks you can check for how to get someone to marry you. It is a lot more complicated than learning someone's favorite gift and giving it to them until they love you, sadly. What is easy is knowing how to get a ring when you are ready to propose, but that's not how it works in this farming sim.

Instead of a ring, you need to get a Mermaid Pendant when you're ready to pop the question, but this isn't something you can pick up at the local jewelry store or even the elusive Bookseller. If you want to commit to your relationship for good, here's how to get a Mermaid Pendant.

How to get Refined Quartz in Stardew Valley
Fighting slimes in the mines of Stardew Valley.

Besides the basics of farming and giving gifts to other villagers in Stardew Valley, one of the first tips and tricks you learn is the importance of mining. Unless you are willing to use some cheats, this is the only way to get the proper materials to craft new and better versions of items. Quartz is a very common material that you can find almost anywhere, but Refined Quartz takes a few extra steps to get. It isn't hard once you know how it's done, and it will open up tons of new possibilities, so let's learn how to get Refined Quartz as fast as possible.
How to get Refined Quartz

There are three basic ways you can approach getting your hands on Refined Quartz. The first is by far the easiest and most reliable, so long as you have a furnace, some regular Quartz, and coal. If you don't have a furnace, you can make one with just 25 stone and 20 copper. Drop your coal into the furnace with coal powering it and leave it for half an in-game hour. Once it has been smelted, you will get a bar of Refined Quartz. However, if you find some Fire Quartz and smelt it, then you will get three Refined Quartz instead of just one.

How to find Iridium in Stardew Valley
A player in a mine in Stardew Valley.

While there are a ton of useful tips and tricks to learn early on about Stardew Valley, it is the late-game challenges that tend to be the most difficult. It is easy enough to figure out the best gifts for each villager, but hidden or rare items like Powdermelon and Meowmere feel like players need to help each other out to find them. Iridium ore is a material you will need for some of the game's best upgrades, but it isn't just lying around. Let's dig deep and find every source of Iridium in Stardew Valley.
Where to find Iridium

Despite how rare it is, there are actually several sources for Iridium in Stardew Valley you can try depending on your style. Some methods have better odds than others, but also carry greater risks. These are the most reliable ways.
The Skull Cavern
The most obvious way to get Iridium is to mine it from Iridium nodes. But these special rocks only spawn in the Quarry, Skull Cavern, and Volcano Dungeon. The most efficient of these is easily the Skull Cavern, so long as you are well-equipped. The deeper you go into this endless dungeon, the more likely Iridium nodes spawn for you to mine. On top of that, Iridium Bats and Iridium Crabs that spawn here also have a small chance of dropping the ore when killed.
The Mines
If the standard mines are more your speed, you can still get Iridium here, but only between floors 115 and 119. You will be looking for Magma and Omni Geodes to mine, both of which have a chance of rewarding you with Iridium.
Fill your pond
A risk-free way to try and get Iridium is by filling a pond with nine Super Cucumbers. Once you hit that number, there's a chance you can get between 1 and 3 Iridium.
Visit the Traveling Cart
If you've got more luck and gold than anything else, the Traveling Cart will rarely sell Iridium for anywhere between 300 and 1,000g.
