Statue of Perfection
Sell Price: | It cannot be sold |
Composition: | Pure Iridium |
Source: | Grandpa’s Shrine |
The Statue of Perfection in Stardew Valley is a valuable piece of Furniture that can be acquired by interacting with Grandpa’s Shrine after lighting all four candles as part of Grandpa’s Evaluation event.
This stunning statue is made of pure iridium and holds a unique ability to produce 2-8 Iridium Ore daily.
Trivia
Notably, the Statue of Perfection design will look like maneki-neko figurines, which are considered bearers of good fortune for small businesses in Japan and China. This adds an intriguing cultural touch to the game and makes the statue even more special for players.
However, players should be cautious as the Statue of Perfection is not invulnerable. If bombs are used near the statue, it will be blown up. Nevertheless, there’s no need to worry, as another Statue of Perfection can be acquired by simply interacting with Grandpa’s Shrine again.
It’s important to distinguish the Statue of Perfection from the Statue Of True Perfection in the game. The latter can only be acquired once the player reaches 100% Perfection and can produce a Prismatic Shard daily.
Bugs
One exciting bug related to the Statue of Perfection is that if a player’s inventory is fully occupied, utilizing the pickaxe to get the placed statue will not add it to the inventory.
However, by right-clicking Grandpa’s Shrine, players can obtain the next Statue of Perfection. This has led to a glitch where players can get endless Statues of Perfection by doing these steps again and again.
