We walk you through the most notorious quest in the game. It's not hard to fall in love with Stardew Valley. Not only due to its relaxing ambience, farming is an awesome way to unwind after a long day, but also because of the lovely townies you get to meet as you play through the game and get to know on a deeper level.
From time to time, Pelican Town villagers will make certain requests and they'll even give you quests that you can do in exchange for gold and their friendship. It's important to do these as they allow you to get to know the NPCs a little better and become closer with them.

The Mayor's Shorts quest is probably one of the most, if not the most, well-known quest in Stardew Valley. You'll receive it on the third day of Summer so don't forget to check your mailbox. Mayor Lewis is looking for his purple "shorts", he's lost the shorts and can't remember where. You'll be asked to handle this quest discreetly.
Location Of The Mayor's Shorts
Now, where could have Mayor Lewis possibly lost his "shorts"? Well, if you haven't found them yet it's because they're in an odd location. The mayor's shorts can be found in Marnie's Ranch, more specifically in Marnie's Bedroom.
Marnie lives in her Ranch, which is located west of Pelican Town. You can get there by taking the town's southwestern exit or the farm's south exit. It's the brown building with the red roof, it's hard to miss due to the large fencing with cows on the outside. She lives with her niece and her nephew. Her room is the one in the middle, right behind the main entrance where you can shop for animal products and purchase livestock.
Accessing Marnie's Room
Now the tricky part is accessing Marnie's Room. If you're not one to talk to all the villagers daily or if you don't distribute gifts that often, you might not be able to access her room right away.
You are required to have at least two hearts with Marnie in order to be able to enter her room. The best way to win her over is with gifts and talking to her daily, quests are a bit more difficult because you never know when they'll pop up, it's less common.
Not talking to a villager each day causes the friendship to decay, you will lose two friendship points a day if you don't talk to her daily. Loved gifts are worth 80 friendship points, liked gifts are worth 45 and neutral gifts are worth 20. Talking to them will also grant you 20 friendship points. You need 250 friendship points to gain a heart, therefore you need to get to at least 500 friendship points with Marnie to access her bedroom and get the Mayor's shorts. We've written a listen on this subject, so here are ten tips that will help you increase your friendship with villagers in Stardew Valley.
