Grandpa
“ | “If you're reading this, you must be in dire need of a change. The same thing happened to me, long ago. I'd lost sight of what mattered most in life... real connections with other people and nature. So I dropped everything and moved to the place I truly belong.” |
— Grandpa's Letter |
Grandpa is the first character players are introduced to. He writes a letter gifting the farmhouse, which prompts the player to move to Stardew Valley.
Grandpa's Ghost
The player can find a note on Grandpa's Shrine, at the far Northwest corner of The Farm, which states that Grandpa will return at the start of the third year (1st of Spring, Year 3) to evaluate the player's success.
Grandpa's Evaluation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Grandpa's evaluation is directly related to the number of candles that light up around Grandpa's Shrine at the beginning of year three. This is determined by a point system based on various milestones that were reached in the first two years. There are a total of 21 available points.
ScoringUnlike in prior versions, update 1.05 allowed the player to be re-evaluated at any time by placing a Diamond into Grandpa's Shrine (Grandpa will show up on the following day). This means that the opportunity to obtain all four candles is extended beyond the initial two year evaluation. Money Earned (Highest value only)

ResultsIf the player attains a score of 12 or higher, they will be rewarded with the Statue of Perfection, which grants 2-8 Iridium Ore per day. There is no indication made that the statue is available, and the player will have to manually interact with the shrine to "find" it. The evaluation has no other effect on the game in any way, and the player may continue playing the game indefinitely. Shrine Candles Lit
