爷爷

“	“如果你在读这封信，你一定身处困境期待转机。很久以前，我遇到过相同的情况。我对人生中最重要的东西视而不见……那就是人与人之间真实而自然的关系。所以我放弃一切搬到了真正属于我的地方。”
	— 爷爷的信

爷爷是游戏中见到的第一个角色。他写信把农舍送给了玩家，这是玩家搬到星露谷的契机。

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.

The player can be re-evaluated at any time by placing a Diamond into Grandpa's Shrine (Grandpa will show up on the following day, after a game load or the first day of the following season in some cases). This means that the opportunity to obtain all four candles is extended beyond the initial two year evaluation.

Results

If 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.

注意

• The actual friendship level required with villagers is slightly below eight hearts (eight hearts requires a relationship value of 2000; the game checks for a value of 1975 or higher). However, it is not possible to view the precise relationship score with a villager from in-game.
• There is currently no in-game way to view the relationship score with your pet. Only one notification pops up if you max your relationship which says: " <Animal Name> loves you ". The value can only be observed by checking within the savefile.
• As of v1.05, it is no longer necessary to acquire every Stardrop to achieve the maximum score in the evaluation.
• Prior to v1.05 the evaluation could not be redone, the player was left with the score they had achieved after two years.
