Great Friends

According to the article's table, you must achieve Great Friends as part of attaining perfection. For this, you must "reach maximum hearts with every villager". So who is a villager in this case? The Villagers page lists non-giftables, so its objective seems to go beyond the intention here.

The Friendship page identifies friendship boosts to various subgroups. The Luau can confer extra points only for those you have met who actually live in town (not Sandy, Wizard, Krobus, or Dwarf, and not Kent in year 1). No mention of Leo, which poses additional questions.

The Bulletin Board bundles for the Community Center confer boosts only to "non-datable villagers" you have met: impossible for Leo (pre-Ginger Island) but including the above excluded list, who are now "villagers" without actually living in town.

So, the Wiki is not exactly consistent. And where does that leave us in this article? I think it needs to be more explicit. Since it is very likely to take over two years to achieve perfection anyway, I guess it would be reasonable to conclude the idea that we need to be at 10 hearts with Leo. We should say so anyway. And what exactly IS "maximum hearts" with datable villagers? Eight hearts? Or is it ten, and then where does that leave us with regard to social disgracing because of romancing every datable? Finally, is this ten hearts with our spouse, or is it thirteen, or 12.5, as various other game elements set? And what if our spouse is another player in multiplayer?

So, the article needs help, but it's a mixed bag of tangled questions to sort it out. Giles (talk) 23:27, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

So, what if "villager" meant any NPC who lives in Pelican Town, and "valley dweller" meant any NPC who lives in Stardew Valley (including villagers). And then perhaps "non-datable valley dwellers" would need ten hearts and "datable villagers" would need eight. Of course, if that's the way it's supposed to work!

Stardrops

So, you need 7 stardrops to achieve perfection, and one can only be had from your spouse. So, it's not possible to achieve perfection and still be a bachelor? I thought bachelorhood was always a playing option, and it's one I sometimes want to pursue. Doesn't this present a conflict for player choices, or rather, a reduction of options? How about the 6 other stardrops to achieve perfection - just for bachelors, or maybe for everyone? Giles (talk) 23:53, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

One can divorce after receiving a Stardrop. Or don't marry and have Krobus as a housemate, he gives a Stardrop just as spouses would, and he can be evicted similar how you divorce. Dubesor (talk) 00:04, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

But divorce destroys friendship and it cannot be regained at a maximum level, so perfection cannot be maintained either. I want bachelorhood, not marriage then divorce. It's not the same. Giles (talk) 05:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
