The game tries all it can to keep the criteria of a good farm a secret, but I’ll be divulging everything I can about Grandpa’s Shrine!
Come year 3, you’ll be subjected to Grandpa’s evaluation, so before that comes, I’ll be preparing you in every way I can to make sure you’re all set. This includes going over all the goals, what you can do if you feel like you’re running out of time, and what your reward will be.

For the easiest way to get all 4 candles, do the following: Earn one million gold by the end of year 2 (not hard), get max level in all skills, complete the community center and watch the cutscene. That will give you the 12 points needed. Between farming, gathering resources, fishing, and fighting in the minesskull cavern, you should be able to get all skills to ten in the first year, earn one million gold, and have finished the community center. You don't really even need to plan all that hard and still have a year to get even more points. By end of year 2, I usually have the listed above, gotten the skull cavern key, the rusty key, earned my pet's max friendship, catch every fish, finish the museum collection, and have gotten all 3 upgrades to my house (not always married by then). It sounds like a lot, but you have two years, so it's not nearly as hard as it sounds.
going by this list I have several points already, but no candles are lit yet. that's really weird…
Grandpa’s shrine is the one thing I work hard to do with each new save because all of the free iridium makes life so much easier.
I too would like to grade my grandchild performance with my own criteria 3 years after my death
Your gay?
On my first playthrough I only got 3 candles, but on my second save, as a more experienced player, I didn't even bothered and got the 4 candles just like that.
this helped me! i got perfection now! also the statue ^-^
Super informative!!! I’ve never seen it explained what you actually have to do to get four candles, so this is very helpful 👏🏻👏🏻 Also just love you editing and video style. Keep it up 🎉
sell every iridium bar
Lookup Anything mod. Hit F1 on your pet and you can see the details. Animal Husbandry also lets you give your pet treats to level the friendship faster.
I heard if you reach rank 7 with Your Grand Dad, you get a rare material called Flint Stones.
I am so happy I am one who keeps pushing you to do more, aka ty for another great video
Also if you guys use mods, theres a mod called Lookup Anything that essentially puts the wiki directly in the game, this way you can click in an specific item or npc and it shows data about it, what achievement is needed for, how many, selling price, who loves it, who likes it, the food or tools you can make, relationship status with numbers (including the pets) and more. Is one of the mods I use the most.
"It kinda sounds like a threat"
That's cause it is
I was pretty stressed and ngl, I overcompensated lmao especially on the last days cuz I didn't know u could get reevaluation, hut it ended up being ok and rn im trying to get 10 hearts with 8 ppl achievement (just need one more heart for my dude Gus) before I do more with the Island stuff
Does someone know if modded additional crops and fish count as well in the "fish every fish" or "ship every item" task or is it just the canonically items?
Ok off topic but after my quest for perfection I met the wizard at the rail tracks he said his ex wife turned green and began flying around the country side cursing everything in her bath…
Like… Was it his ex wife that turned all my slimes into black slimes?! the witch that did it had green skin…
Idk I am still pretty knew and I don’t know about all the lore…
Kinda laughed when I saw "pet the cat". I had no idea it was counted! I once saw the cat laying by grandpas shrine and I was like "Are you complaining to grandpa that im not petting and watering you enough?". Who knew! 😅
Can you make a video about radioactive material in SV? How/Where do you get it and what do you use it for?
3:19 IM SORRY GRANDPA I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING FORGIVE ME
I accidentally mashed away from the paper that’s there originally and I don’t know what it said 😭
Just watched the first 10 seconds of the video, HES RETURNING ON THE THIRD YEAR OR SOMETHING??? I just bought the game recently no spoilers
These are two glitches I found myself while playing
On mobile, you can stack effect from food infinitely, like go to level 60 fishing and fill the bar to granted iridium quality fish
And if your inventory is full and open a treasure chest in the mine and skull cavaren if you press the cancel you will get double the amount of the items in the chest.
That all what I found myself so far
Is this mah dry bread?
my first play through i do not remember but my second i got 4 🙂
I remember I wasn't even trying to work on grandpa's shrine my second year just the community centre
Somehow got all 4 candles
If you hate marriage you can just be roommate with Krobus
do you (or anyone in the comments!) know if moving in with krobus counts for the marriage part of the evaluation? i can’t find anything on the wiki unfortunately
Can u make tutorial for true perfection statue ver? 🤭
you are making the cat die of dehydration and the cat WILL sue you
I always get 4 candles, on my first evaluation
(Edit: where is this music from, pls tell me cause i love it
I don’t think the minerals/artifacts light up only if you donate them. The wiki says they don’t need to be shipped or donated to the museum to be registered, and I know from personal experience. I have a play through where I still haven’t donated a Prismatic Shard, but it still appears in my collections tab, also with the description received after donating it, despite the actual item having the “Gunther can tell you more about this” tag.
I may have completed the CC but then switched to Joja for the friendship bundle completion lol. Woops, thought I’d have to wait a long time for red cabbages but apparently Pierre sold them like the next day xD
At least I got all the autopetters that I need lol
When I first played the game I got a really confusing tip of "watering your cat" from a friend so I literally did water my cat everyday. I only stopped when I noticed that the small brown thing on the farm was a water bowl.
i’ve been playing stardew for a while and recently got back into it and all your guides are so so helpful! thank you for making these for us!!
I accidently got 4 candles and that is my best flex 😂❤ yay for the completionist mindset
Does anyone know the name of the bg music with the vocals in the video?
Tbh i was so surprise of having 4 candles lit on my 2nd saved game (my first being my trial and error SDV)
I didn't know that having kids isn't mandatory for the perfection run, now I'm here with 2 kids that I wouldn't get rid of cause I'd feel really bad about it otherwise.
you just reminded me that i’m halfway through my 2nd year and should be better preparing
