Perfection system

Main article: Qi's Walnut Room#Perfection Tracker

The "Perfection Tracker" statue in Qi's Walnut Room on Ginger Island shows the current perfection value. This value cannot be seen in-game before unlocking the room. The value is the average score across these categories:

NameRequirementTotal RequiredPercentage Breakdown
Produce & Forage ShippedShip one of every item in the Items Shipped (Farm & Forage) tab in the collections menu.15515%
Obelisks on FarmBuild Earth Obelisk, Water Obelisk, Desert Obelisk, and Island Obelisk on the farm.44%
Golden Clock on FarmBuild Gold Clock on the farm.110%
Monster Slayer HeroComplete all monster eradication goals for the Adventurer's Guild.1210%
Great FriendsReach maximum hearts with every villager. This includes Kent, so it is not possible to complete this in year 1. Note: The "maximum hearts" for datable villagers is 8, and for non-datable villagers, 10 is the max. If the player has children, their friendship status does not affect the score.3411%
Farmer LevelReach level 10 in every skill.255%
Found All StardropsFind all Stardrops.710%
Cooking Recipes MadeCook every recipe.8110%
Crafting Recipes MadeCraft all items. The Wedding Ring is not required, even in Multiplayer games.14910%
Fish CaughtCatch every fish in the Fish tab in the collections menu.7210%
Golden Walnuts foundFind all Golden Walnuts on Ginger Island.1305%

Multiplayer

In Multiplayer games, the Perfection Tracker will show a single perfection score shared across all players. The percentage breakdown for each category (with the exception of "Golden Walnuts Found", since Golden Walnuts are shared among all players) will show the highest score any of the players in the game have completed. For example, this means that only one person needs to catch every fish for the score to show 100% for that category. Similarly, only one Gold Clock needs to be built to get a value of "Yes" for "Golden Clock on Farm." However, the scores cannot be split amongst players. For example, if one player completes half of the Monster Eradication Goals and another player completes the other half, the value for "Monster Slayer Hero" will be "No" as no player in the game has actually completed all of them.

The Wedding Ring does not need to be crafted to achieve Perfection.

Unlocked content

Reaching a perfection score of 100% unlocks additional endgame content the next day. That includes:

  • Text appears the morning after Perfection is achieved, saying "You feel it in your heart: somewhere, somehow... Grandpa is beaming with pride. The legacy of (Farm's name) Farm is eternal."
  • A message appears the morning after Perfection is achieved, saying "A rumbling sound was heard in the distance...". This unlocks access to the Summit, allowing the player to reach a special cutscene the first time they visit.
  • A flock of Ginger Island parrots flies over the Farm.
  • The Statue Of True Perfection is unlocked, obtained by interacting with the Perfection Tracker statue in Qi's Walnut Room.
  • Golden Eggs and Golden Chickens are unlocked, with the first egg available either via Marnie's Ranch, Qi's Walnut Room, a random Golden Witch event, or from a Fishing Treasure Chest.
  • The ??? hat can be found by interacting with a monkey in the Volcano Caldera.
  • A stone carving of a Stardrop appears above Grandpa's Shrine.

Perfection Waivers

Perfection - Stardew Valley Wiki (1) Warning: Spoilers Perfection - Stardew Valley Wiki (2)

This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section.

After having interacted with the "Perfection Tracker" statue in Qi's Walnut Room on Ginger Island for the first time, Fizz, a Joja employee working in the "Joja Special Services Division", will send the player a letter inviting them to meet him in the "watery cave" on Ginger Island.

“Hello.
I have the 'perfect' solution to help you out.
Meet me in the watery cave on Ginger Island.
-Fizz
Joja Special Services Division”

The "watery cave" is the mushroom cave on Ginger Island where Professor Snail is initially found.

Fizz will offer to sell the player perfection waivers in order to bypass perfection challenges. For Perfection - Stardew Valley Wiki (3)500,000g players can increase their perfection score by 1%.

Players can receive this letter even if they have already achieved perfection.

Notes

  • If a player reached perfection in a previous version of the game, the "Perfection Tracker" statue in Qi's Walnut Room will show that the player has not reached perfection if they haven't cooked all the new foods, caught the new fish, crafted all the new recipes, and shipped all of the new items. However, The Summit remains accessible if it was unlocked before.
  • It is cheaper to buy perfection waivers than to build the obelisks and golden clock. Those buildings cost a total of Perfection - Stardew Valley Wiki (4)13,000,000g to build and provide 14% of perfection. 14 perfection waivers only cost Perfection - Stardew Valley Wiki (5)7,000,000g, saving a total of Perfection - Stardew Valley Wiki (6)6,000,000g.
