Stardew Valley - Grandpa’s Score

If you remember at the start of the game you get to meet your grandpa who leaves you the letter which states that if you ever get bored of the city life and you feel overburdened by the way the corporation treats people then you should move to Stardew Valley and live a new life there.

You may also remember that he dies right after he gives you the letter and you never see him again, that is until the end of the second year when his ghost comes back to evaluate the work that you have done and gives you a reward based on how well you have played the game. Let’s discuss what he judges you on, how to improve your farm’s score and what to do if you don’t meet his expectations.
Walkthrough:
The first thing you need to know is the way the evaluation works. Your grandpa evaluates you on a lot of stuff and the judgement can be divided into 21 points. The first 7 of those points are just for the amount of gold that you managed to earn throughout the 2 years. You get the first point at 100,000 gold and the seventh is at a million gold. You can get these 7 points fairly easily as you do not need to do much except farm high-profit crops.
The score that you need to beat is 12 as that is what is needed to get the reward that he is offering. You can check your progress by going to the top left of the farm and looking at the candles that are lit on the shrine. If the first candle is lit then you are at 0-3 points, if two are lit then you are at 4-7 points, if three are lit then you are at 8-11 points and if all four are lit then you are at 12 or above which is what you need to get the special reward. The special reward, by the way, is a statue of perfection which gives you iridium ore every day. The amount of ore is random as it can give you from 2 pieces to 8 pieces every day.
Now that you know the reward let’s see what else you can do to earn it. The easiest things to do are:
- Getting 30 points in all the 5 skills combined
- Getting all the skills at max level

If you fail to meet the requirements you do not have to worry because you can get reevaluated. All you need to do is to go to the shrine and ask for it. You will have to sacrifice a diamond though.
