Upon defeating the 50th monster for Clint your journal entry will update. Navigate to the journal entry and collect the first portion of the reward payout which is 6000g. Once that reward is collected, finish out the day and head back to your farm. Sleep so the day passes. On the next day wake up and check your mail to receive a letter from Clint. This letter contains the Goede Crusher recipe. To make this equipment use the following materials:
- 3x Gold Bar.
- 50x Stone.

When the Geode Crusher is made you can place it on the farm wherever you wish. This special piece of equipment is used to break open Geodes you collect while mining. This is a very useful piece of equipment that saves a ton of money in the long run.
