Most buildings in Stardew Valley are pretty generic, serving as simple storage units or livestock shelters. However, there are a couple of buildings which work a little differently to the norm—namely, those that can be purchased from the Wizard at the Wizard’s Tower. Perhaps the most exciting of these—and the most revolutionary for gameplay—are the obelisks, which offer an excellent investment for those wanting to streamline their gameplay.
Still, knowing how to get every obelisk in Stardew isn’t necessarily easy. As such, today, we’ve outlined some of the key things you should know about Stardew obelisks to help.
What are the Obelisks in Stardew Valley?
Before we go any further, we first need to consider what obelisks in Stardew Valley actually are. The obelisks in Stardew Valley are large poles which measure in at 3x2 tiles in size. Each obelisk has a unique design based on a particular theme, and this relates to the specific function of the obelisk. Indeed, the Stardew Valley obelisks each serve a unique function: to provide a warping point that allows you to immediately warp to a certain part of the game map.
Each obelisk has a different destination, so you will need to build one obelisk for each warping point you need. It’s worth noting here, though, that the obelisks don’t allow you to teleport anywhere in the map; they simply warp you to one of a handful of warp totems (which you might have noticed during your exploration of the game).
How Do I Get an Obelisk in Stardew?
In order to get an obelisk in Stardew Valley, you will need to complete the Goblin Problem quest, which will allow you to find a pot of Magic Ink on the Witch’s table. Taking this back to the wizard will win his favor; in exchange, he will offer to build a number of different, magical buildings for your farm. However, don’t expect him to do so for free; he’ll charge a premium for this!
Another premium investment you might want to make for your Stardew farm is investing in your own private server. ScalaCube’s top-rated servers offer 24/7 uptime and instant access, keeping you farming reliably and without worry of the game crashing—even in multiplayer settings.
The Different Types of Stardew Valley Obelisks
There are four different types of obelisks in Stardew Valley, and these can prove incredibly useful for speeding up your gameplay. Three of these should be immediately available after completing the Goblin Problem quest and unlocking the Wizard’s buildings; however, the fourth will only become available once you have unlocked Ginger Island.
It’s worth noting that each obelisk will require specific ingredients based on the destination you are trying to warp to. Some of these could potentially also be found in the Traveling Cart or other shops.
Earth Obelisk
The Earth obelisk is one of the two Pelican Town obelisks available, and this will warp you to the totem in the mountains (just to the East of Robin’s house). The Earth obelisk costs 500,000g to build and requires 10 iridium bars and 10 earth crystals.
Water Obelisk
The Water Obelisk is the second Pelican Town obelisk, sending you whisking away to the beach. In order to build it, you’ll need to pay the Wizard 500,000g; you’ll also need to provide 5 iridium bars, 10 clams, and 10 corals.
Desert Obelisk
The third obelisk, which should also be available immediately upon unlocking the Wizard’s buildings, is the Desert obelisk. This particular obelisk costs more than the other two to build at one million g, and requires 20 iridium bars, 10 coconuts, and 10 cactus fruits.
Island Obelisk
The final obelisk—and the only one that may still be locked after unlocking the Wizard’s buildings—is the Island obelisk. As you may have guessed, this warps you directly to Ginger Island, but only after you have unlocked the island yourself. The obelisk also costs one million g to build and requires 10 iridium bars, 10 dragon’s teeth, and 10 bananas.
Other Wizard Tower Buildings
In addition to selling the four different obelisks, you can also buy two more farm buildings from the Wizard: a gold clock and a Junimo hut. The gold clock prevents debris and decaying fences on the farm, while the Junimo hut brings Junimos onto your farm to harvest crops for you—a very handy tool if you have many crops growing at once (or crops you can’t access due to being blocked by a trellis).

FAQs
What buildings can the Wizard build on my farm?
The Wizard in Stardew Valley can build a total of six buildings on your farm: four warp obelisks (Earth, Water, Desert, and Island), the junimo hut, and the gold clock.
How much does an obelisk cost in Stardew Valley?
The price of obelisks in Stardew Valley depends on the type of obelisk you’re looking to build. Regular Pelican Town obelisks cost 500,000g, while Desert and Island obelisks cost one million g.
Can I get obelisks before completing the community center or Joja upgrades?
No. Since the quest that unlocks the Wizard’s upgrades comes after the quest for completing the Community Center or JojaMart, you won’t be able to get obelisks before first completing the upgrades or quests themselves.
