Perfection

Qi's Walnut Room

The perfection tracker stands in Qi's Walnut Room on the west side of Ginger Island. The room opens after you have found 100 golden walnuts. Until then the percentage is not shown in the game. Mr. Qi is there, along with a special-order board and a Qi Gem shop.

The score is the combined share of the eleven rows below. The tracker rounds down, so 80.6% displays as 80%. It displays 100% only when the score really is 100%. This split is the Stardew Valley 1.6.x tracker. Version 1.5 introduced perfection. Version 1.6 added waivers and expanded the shipping, fish, cooking, and crafting sets.

How the rows are counted

Great Friends is 34 villagers and 11% of the score. Datable villagers count as finished at 8 hearts. Everyone else counts at 10 hearts. Kent is in the 34, so the row cannot be finished in year 1. Children on the farm are ignored.

Farmer level is level 10 in every skill. The tracker's total for that row is 25, and the share is 5%. Found Stardrops is the seven Stardrops, worth 10%.

Crafting is 149 items and 10%. The Wedding Ring is left out, including in a multiplayer game. Cooking is 81 recipes. Fish is the 72 entries on the Fish collection tab, caught with a rod or a crab pot. Shipping is 154 Farm & Forage items and the largest share, 15%. Golden Walnuts are all 130, worth 5%. Monster Slayer Hero is all 12 eradication goals, worth 10%.

The four obelisks are Earth, Water, Desert, and Island, worth 4% together. The Gold Clock is its own 10% row. The building named in that row is the Gold Clock.

Multiplayer

A multiplayer farm has one shared score. For every row except Golden Walnuts, the tracker uses the best single player. Walnuts are already shared. One player can catch every fish, and one Gold Clock is enough.

A row cannot be split. If two players each finish half of the monster goals, Monster Slayer Hero stays incomplete.

Perfection waivers

Version 1.6 added waivers. The first time you read the tracker, Fizz of the Joja Special Services Division sends a letter. He waits in the mushroom cave on Ginger Island, the cave where Professor Snail starts. Each waiver costs 500,000g and adds 1% to the score. The letter can still arrive after the score is already 100%.

The four obelisks and the Gold Clock cost 13,000,000g together and are 14% of the score. Fourteen waivers cost 7,000,000g.

A save that had already reached perfection before 1.6 can drop below 100% until the new shipping items, fish, cooking recipe, and crafting recipes are done. Version 1.6 added 10 shipping items, 5 fish, 1 cooking recipe, and 20 crafting recipes to those lists. The Summit stays open if it was unlocked before the update.

What 100% opens

The new content arrives the next morning. The game tells you Grandpa is proud and that the farm's legacy is eternal, and that a rumbling was heard in the distance. That rumbling opens the Summit. The first visit plays a cutscene.

A flock of Ginger Island parrots flies over the farm. Interact with the tracker statue to take the Statue of True Perfection. Golden Eggs and Golden Chickens become available. The first egg can come from Marnie's Ranch, from Qi's Walnut Room, from a visit by the Golden Witch, or from a fishing treasure chest.

A monkey in the Volcano Caldera will give the ??? hat if you interact with it. A stone Stardrop carving appears above Grandpa's Shrine. The Perfection achievement is reaching the Summit.
