Finding the Kappa, finding more uncommon foragables, slightly easier or harder amount of effort needed to grow the love of your pet and/or horse...it changed a lot, but not too much so as to break a game, but there was no cap on how low it could go, usually.

I think I got 3 candles, and saw somewhere that giving a diamond would light the fourth, without explanation as to why. By the time I remembered to do it, I'd apparently done enough for the 4th to light, too. It is nice to know how the whole thing works. I do, though, religiously pet and water my dog every day, before going on to livestock tending. If the animals have a happiness level, I just can't bring myself to not care about it.

Good old family issue, am I right? 😂😅

Completing Grandpa's Shrine when it originally triggers after Year 2 was a goal of mine for my first playthrough. The last thing I needed was a rabbit's foot for the community center to get the extra 3 points. I had a rabbit, who was not giving me a foot. I checked the travelling cart, which never gave me a foot. So I dove into the Skull Caverns on Winter 26 of Year 2 as a last resort, and a serpent dropped it. I had the exact right amount of time to complete the CC on Winter 27 and see the cutscene on Winter 28, and get the four candles that night. What a wild ride. I think the game knew I needed it...

The fact that i already reach perfection in steam achievement but still watch this vids because I still love this game.

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.

my only with lookup anything is that it doesn't tell you how to get an item

This is the first time I've heard that filling the pet bowl gives any friendship points. This whole time I thought it gave none.

I got the perfection statue and the four candles at my first time playing the game (I still haven’t finished it yet) Then I started watching some videos and they said that iridium is super valuable, and I was like “dude, you get a few every day, I have +100 at this point” Now it does make sense ;-;

I'm a seasoned player starting a new playthrough this was SUPER useful!! Thanks:)

Thanks for the guide, Sal! Can't wait to watch!

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 really appreciate you making all these videos. I learn so much about this game I never knew. Even if I don’t use the info directly, it’s just neat to know.

Grandpa literally comes back from the dead as the force spirit, to tier list your farm💀

Just about to research this for the end of my second year of my second major playthrough! Thanks for the guide!

This helps a ton, especially the intro. I was super stressed out thinking that I had to finish the community center and fully befriend everyone by the end of Year 2.

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!!

thanks for this. i’ve been trying everything i can to get 4 candles but i’ve only been able to get 3 so this helps lots

Good to finally know this. I don’t think I’ve made it to year 3 ever, so I never got to know what the deal was with the shrine.

if you don't want to go watch that video about how to get another statue of perfection, heres how. get the statue of perfection and place it. fill your inventory up with no extra slots. break the statue and leave it on the ground go to the shrine and you can get another. theres no limit to how many you can have.

I know it's been said a bunch before, but when talking about geodes you really should always mention that luck does nothing when it comes to what drops when. It's a set list generated from the seed that's formed at farm creation.

Love seeing your guides!!

Thank you so much for caring about not stressing us out. So kind of you to consider. Very much appreciated. :)

I didn’t even know there were challenges for this shrine and just had the 12+ points 😂

4:10 That's completely untrue, its actually the opposite way around, if you find the item but DON'T donate it to the museum, it will still be on the collection screen. To tell if you've donated an item, you have to check if its description says "Gunther will tell you more about the item if you donate it to the museum" or of course just go to the museum and see if its there.

Went in blind and was able to complete the shrine, thought it was a timed thing. Didn't know it was this in depth. Cool though. Now I got to get the other two cat shrines. Nice!

There is a way to check the pet's love. If you pet it when it is awake and has full relationship; for the first time after you fill the points, it will say something like "[pet name] seems content"

I have 3 candles with my evaluation and that was just from playing the game at my own pace and not rushing things. After watching your video, I figure I have around 9 points. I just have about 4 bundles left for the CC, so one that and the ceremony takes place thats 2 points, and I'm close to maxing out my skills so that would be the third point for 12. Once thats done, I'll reevaluate.

Great video as always. Remember kids, money is the most important thing in life. Though community is also nice I guess. Btw there's a visual error at 2:09 when discussing friendship. You (correctly) say in the voiceover that you need 8 hearts with villagers to get the bonus, but the onscreen text says 10.

I don't think it's correct that the artifact page doesn't fill in until you donate the item. I have had multiple times that I found something (e.g. a prismatic shard) and it showed up on the collection page, even though I hadn't donated it yet.

you are my fav stardew valley youtuber

"It kinda sounds like a threat" That's cause it is

I got all candles right after i got out from my house in the first year 3, i was so confuse but it was a good news for me, right now i just need perfection ending.

not me accidentally getting all four candles on my first, blind playthrough of SDV

Went in nearly completely blind on my first play through and got 2 candles. After about 300ish hours enjoying the game, I got into the wiki, ACTUALLY fished, and got the last 2 later. Been playing a new farm in prep for 1.6 on console and I’m far ahead of where I though and will be getting my 4 candle evaluation ezpz Year 3, Spring 1

the person who might enjoy stardew checkup is ME! I was literally wondering if there was a way to more easily see all that kind of stuff. Especially what I still need to craft and cook. I've never actually bothered to make it all the way to perfection so this will help me finally get a golden chicken lol I know I could just buy the new pages in 1.6 but that feels... lame OwO

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

I never think of the grandpa.One day he came and gave me three candles and coupleo f seasosons later I got the 4th candle when I realized it was a rating and tried later.Ever since it is my almost only source of iridium.İt is so much that I dont feel a need to go skullcavern.

You can check how many hearts you have with your pet by checking the animals tab in your inventory

I’ve done 4 60+ hour playthroughs and always gotten the iri statue. I didnt even know you couldn’t get it until like last week

3:19 IM SORRY GRANDPA I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING FORGIVE ME

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 mines\skull 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.

Awesome I'm just finishing up my second year and i didn't know what needed to be done to get this lol

"it sounds like a threat" is very interesting to think about considering the games implied idea is to not stress about anything. although tbh almost every aspect of the game incentivises the player to do stress if you think about it ;) dont forget to water, be at the shop at the right time, manage your inventory, your energy, your gold. i never though about it that way, but now i get why i always feel like min maxing and planning out every day in advance ^^

It has taken me four 3+years farm to understand the statue of perfection was an iridium ore producer and not just another decoration item. On my first two farms, i have found it on my decoration items chest. On my third farm, i haven't even bothered collecting it from grandpa shrine...

I think the all Artisan goods comes with an asterisk. I think you need to sell one of each artisan good, like you don't need to sell both grape wine and ancient fruit wine. But for things that have 2 different icons like regular cheese and goat cheese you do need both.

i just put a diamond on his shrine whenever I found one...

Fun fact: stardew checkup is compatible on mobile i tried that and it works

looks like i really love my cat cuz i got that message on spring year 2 😭
