Stardew Valley: A Guide to Completing Grandpa’s Evaluation

In Stardew Valley, Grandpa's Evaluation is an event that surveys how well you've done on the farm. Here, you can learn how to pass this test.

First, let's take a look at how to access the perfection tracker. Remember, this guide is for late-game content, so if you have yet to finish the Community Center, this will contain spoilers!

Updated April 3, 2024 by Jacqueline Zalace: Achieving 100 percent perfection is a long-term goal, but we can make it easier for you. We've updated the formatting of this guide, as well as added new items that were added to the game with the 1.6 update of Stardew Valley.

How To Track Perfection

To track your progress towards completion in the game, you will first need to unlock the Walnut Room. This means that prior to unlocking the Walnut Room on Ginger Island, you will not be able to track your perfection progress in-game, unless you keep your own notes.

To unlock the Walnut Room, you will need to collect at least 100 golden walnuts. These can be found scattered around the island. Once you have collected 100 golden walnuts, head to the west side of the island.

Above Birdie's Shack, you will find a purple door with a walnut on it. This is Qi's Walnut Room. After you enter, you will be able to take on special orders, see some items for exchange, and view your perfection tracker. The tracker will list all the perfection goals, along with a total completion percentage.

What Is A Perfection Waiver?

Perfection Waivers are a great way to bypass some of the requirements if you have enough money. After completing the main story and visiting Ginger Island, Joja employee Fizz will reach out to you.

After completing a short little quest to find him, you can spend a whopping 500,000g on a Perfection Waiver to get one percent added to your perfection tracker. This definitely isn't budget-friendly, but it's an easy way to reach perfection if you are a Stardew Valley veteran.

Ship All Farm And Foraged Items

As expected, you will need to ship every item. This includes all growable crops and foraged goods. Below, you can find a list of crops and foraged items that need to be shipped to complete this step. You will only need to ship one of each, so you don't have to dedicate a whole field to each crop.

Be sure to head to the shipping tab of the menu. Here, you will be able to see every item that you have shipped.

Build All Four Obelisks

After completing The Goblin Problem quest, you will unlock the Wizard's buildings. These are themed buildings that you can add to your farm from the Wizard's Magic Book in his Tower. For 100 percent completion, you will need to build all four obelisks. Each obelisk will transport you to a different area. Let's take a quick look at all the obelisks below, and what you need to craft them.

Build The Gold Clock

The Gold Clock is another Wizard building unlocked from The Goblin Problem quest. This clock costs an outstanding 10,000,000g, making it the most expensive item in the game.

With a Gold Clock, debris will not appear on your farm. Additionally, fences will no longer decay over time.

Complete All Monster Slaying Goals

The Adventurer's Guild is to the east of the entrance of The Mines. The Guild will be available every day from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Here, you will be able to take part in a variety of monster eradication goals.

These goals will be listed to the left of the fireplace. For 100 percent completion, you will need to complete all of these goals, which are listed below.

Each of these goals will have separate rewards, but there is no large reward for completing them all. After an individual goal has been completed, talk to the old man sitting in the rocking chair. This is Gil, and he will reward you for each goal completed.

Reach Maximum Friendship With Everyone

To achieve perfection, you will need to maximize your friendship with every NPC in Stardew Valley. This means that you will need seven friendship hearts for dateable residents, and ten friendship hearts for everyone else. Listed below, you will find every character in the game that you need to maximize your friendship with.

Additionally, the friendship between you and your children will not be factored into this. To maximize friendship quickly, give everyone a gift twice a week, and be sure to give them a birthday gift each year.

We have tips for earning maximum friendship with everyone, as well as a guide to all universal loves.

Maximize All Skills

As you progress through the game, you will gain higher skill levels. This will occur naturally through gameplay, as you participate in various activities around the valley. Below, you can check out all skills, as well as some tasks you can do to raise their level.

Find Every Stardrop

There are seven Stardrops in the game, and you need to get all of them. Each Stardrop will boost your energy by 34. This means that, with all seven Stardrops, your maximum energy will be 508. Below, you can find the general location for each Stardrop. For more information, be sure to check out our guide on Stardrop Locations.

Cook Every Recipe

There are 81 recipes in the game, and you need to cook all of them. Recipes can be learned in a few different ways.

First, you can watch The Queen of Sauce every Sunday for a chance to learn a new recipe. If you missed an episode, you can catch the rerun of a Sunday episode the following Wednesday.

Recipes can also be learned from villagers. As you increase your friendship with the villagers, they may send you various recipes in the mail. Since reaching maximum friendship with villagers is a requirement for perfection, this is a handy way to learn recipes.

Craft All Items

In addition to cooking every dish, you will need to craft every item. These items can be made from the crafting panel of the menu. There are a few different ways to obtain new crafting recipes, so let's take a look at them.

• Leveling Up Skills
• Purchasing from Robin, Krobus, Dwarf, and Mr. Qi
• Purchasing from Special Events
• Completing Special Orders

Overall, there are 130 recipes. This is a lot, but you don't need to use or display every item, just make them.

Catch All Fish

Fishing can be quite difficult, but you will need to catch all fish in the game for 100 percent completion. This includes all common fish, as well as the five Legendary fish. You can check out this guide on fishing for more information.

Every season, different fish will be available in various locations. Below, you can find a complete list of every fish in the game.

Find All Golden Walnuts

Lastly, you will need to find all Golden Walnuts. In total, there are 130 that can be found on Ginger Island.

Multiplayer

Perfect works a bit differently in multiplayer. Well, the perfection tracker at least. Since there is more than one person working towards this end goal, the perfection tracker still tracks perfection but not in the same way.

If you check the tracker, it'll display the highest number in a certain category according to the player that is closest to finishing that category. This means that not all players have to complete each category.

In multiplayer mode, you will also need to craft one additional item, the Wedding Ring. This is a ring that allows a player to propose to another player. The recipe for the Wedding Ring is sold by the Traveling Merchant, and to craft it, you will need the following materials.

• 1x Prismatic Shard
• 1x Iridium Bar

Even if you don't plan on marrying while in multiplayer mode, you will still need to craft his item.

Rewards For 100% Completion

After finishing all of these requirements, you have achieved 100 percent perfection! When you do this, a few things will happen. The morning after Perfection, you receive the following message.

With perfection achieved, you will receive the following.

• Access to The Summit
• Statue of True Perfection
• Golden Chickens
• ??? Hat

The Summit

Above, you can see a player sitting at the edge of the Summit. This is an area that you can access on the left side of the Railroad area.

Credits here will show almost all of the villagers, animals, fish, and monsters, and you will be congratulated on your accomplishment. Overall, it's a feel-good moment that will leave you smiling.

Statue of True Perfection

The Statue of True Perfection is a small statue made of pure Iridium that will give you one Prismatic Shard a day. It is shaped like a purple bear holding a heart.

You can sell these shards, or give them to villagers around town. Since you have already achieved 100 percent perfection, you don't need to raise your relationship with NPCs, so feel free to sell or craft with Prismatic Shards to your heart's content.

Golden Chickens

With 100 percent perfection, you will also unlock golden chickens. These special chickens lay golden eggs that have a base price of 500g. To get your first golden egg, you can purchase one from Marnie for 100,000g or for 100 Qi Gems in the Walnut Room.

Alternatively, the witch may fly over your farm and place one in your coop. Placing a golden egg in a mayonnaise machine will produce three gold-quality mayonnaise.

??? Hat

Finally, you will be able to obtain the ??? hat. This is a mask-type hat that is shaped like ConcernedApe's face. To get this hat, visit the Volcano Caldera and interact with the monkey. Now, you have officially beat the game! You can keep playing to expand your farm, or start over on a different farm layout.

Stardew Valley

Restore your grandfather's farm to its former glory in Stardew Valley, a charming indie simulation role-playing game developed by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone. Along the way you'll meet new friends, romance villagers, and explore deep caves for the materials you'll need to craft, build, and grow.
