How to unlock the More blue points! achievement in Graveyard Keeper - Definitive Guide

Just so people are aware the books you can buy from the "Astrologer" that award points do not seem to count towards this achievement. I got myself to 99% then bought 75 points worth of books and it did not unlock.

Happy hunting!

Edit: The ways I have found for grinding blue points are as follows:

Making glass in the furnace gives 1 point [6 sand and 1 water]. This can then be converted into conical flasks for 1 point [2 glass] and then advanced conical flasks for 1 point [3 conical flasks and 1 water].

Making softcovers [2 pigskin paper ] you can then turn softcovers into hard covers granting 5 points [1 softback + 1 tanning agent + 1 faith]. This method is a little more complicated as it requires alchemy far enough along for the distillation cube and alchemy workbench II to make the tanning agent with slowing powder (hops / pyrite / spider web), death solution (dark brain / black jelly) and order extract (green jelly / white flowers).

These hard covers can also be upgraded then from the copper star variant to silver star for an additional 5 points [1 hard cover bronze + 2 steel parts + 2 faith] and then again upgraded to gold star for another 5 points [1 hard cover silver + 2 gold jewelry details]. This is personally how I did the bulk of my grind, however I would only recommend upgrading to silver star if you have the resources to hand as it's probably not worth the time to grind more steel for the point return.

As Kimitchii has pointed out in the comments making books can be a very good source, I also personally used this method. Creating stories for 1 point [1/10th of pen and ink + 1 paper + 5 faith], each story can be converted to notes for 3 points [1 story + 1/10th pen and ink + paper], and then 3 notes to a chapter for 5 points [3 notes of varying quality]. Lastly make a book giving 15 points [1 softcover / hard cover + 1 chapter].

I would recommend using any stories you may have saved up for this to make the whole process a little quicker and would also recommend having the printing press to produce paper as you need pigskin to make the softcovers to start the process.

You can also research certain items under a buff provided by both cakes and grape pies, however from experience the buff seems to provide 1 additional point no matter the reward (e.g +1 point to an alchemical product which is 5 base or +1 to a gravestone that is 70 base).

Hope this all helps!

I would add, particularly at the beginning when you can study body parts, heart, skull etc and any new grave fencing or headstones you have available. Stock up on items that when studied award blue points. .i built one of the new headstones and fences and stockpiled them and other blue point items in a bookshelf near my study table.
Ensure you have plenty of faith and research points ( you can crash obtain the latter by decomposing paper at the study table assuming you have the tech and resources) the former you'll have to farm from your weekly sermon ( prayer of faith or combo prayer helps here)
Go to the dead horse and buy the blueberry looking pie ( forgot it's actual name -sorry) but it's description indicates a bonus when studying new items.
Take it back to the yard, sleep/ save. Then consume the pie and you'll see a timer appear at the top centre of your screen ( around 2 minutes from memory) now study all of your stockpiled blue items within the timer to reap the bonus blue points.
It won't earn you 3000 in one go but the extra is going to be helpful. Depending on your game I try to unlock a tech that allows me to build new blue study items ( graves and headstones typically) to repeat the process.

I should point out I have not tested this. ie studied a bunch of stuff pre save. Reloaded eaten pie and studied same items again to check the numerical difference. If anyone would care to do so, I hope you'll see a benefit. It just seemed the logical way to max blues per study.

This is also why I made this a comment rather than a solution.

The printing press only prints flyers so it won't help you create Clean Paper any faster unfortunately.

Well honestly, writing stories then notes then chapters and turning them into books grant around 25 points or so...takes forever but least expensive and time consuming.

I found making gravestones the best way, early game you can do the 3 stone graves for 5 points or later do stone > polished stone > carved stone x 2 > tombstone that requires 2 carved stone

Overall gives 11 points (perhaps more) and stone is pretty easy to come by throughout the game

Gravestones are good, but if you want quick bursts of blue than make each type of gravestone and study them. Early ones wont give much but top stone give about 40-60 and marble give 50-100.

Making glass in the furnace no longer grants a blue point.

Making Steel Parts also grants several points. I would recommend having your furnaces make conical flasks, advanced conical flasks, and steel parts when they are otherwise empty and you have your coal supply from the quarry. This was especially helpful to grind out a few extra blue points while I was going for catching 200 fish. Aside from being used to build alchemy workbench I/II and Embalming table II, you don't use advanced flasks. Aside from the 9 total flasks it takes to build all 3 objects, destroy the rest of the advanced flasks to save room.

Gravestones are best blue points per hour in terms of indefinite methods.

Pretty much did the same thing. Make a lot of softcovers (2 pigskin papers) and made bronze star books with it. Got 15 blue points a book and managed to get an extra 500 blue points from all the resources i gathered from completing dungeons. (bat wings, etc.)

Higher quality marble items for the graveyard (like the pilth) award about 150 blue points (when the buff from the grape pie is active) when studied, additionally you get some blue points when making smooth marble at the quarry. Miscellaneous other marble/stone jobs also seem to award blue points.

Disclaimer: When the game updates there will probably be items missing from the list below. If you notice something missing or wrong please let me know and I’ll add/change it.

Preface:
- I recommend making the Combo Prayer ASAP. You’ll need lots of Faith to study all the items listed below and this prayer will get you a lot more Faith and money than the basic prayer.
Bronze = 50% more Faith/money, Silver = 100% more, Gold = 150% more
- As soon as you get enough money, start visiting the Astrologer each week to buy his 25pt blue books for 5 silver. These won’t count towards the achievement but are very useful for progressing.
- Research stone and marble technologies as soon as possible. Studying the graveyard decorations grants you almost twice the amount of blue points that you spent on the technology.
- After studying everything in the game that gives blue points you’ll be close to ~2,000 pts so you’ll need to craft items to make up the other ~1,000 pts (if you’re filling your graveyard with 12 white skull corpses from embalming you’ll need lots of marble decorations which will get you the 1,000pts eventually)
- You can bake a Cake that will grant a buff giving you one extra point when studying items but it's minimal so not necessary.
- Make sure to take a lick of the Golden Apple that Snake makes you get from lvl 15 of the dungeon. You get 100 blue points that DO count towards the achievement.

Early game easy points:
- Studying body parts and grave decorations (listed below)
- Buy Hemp Seeds from the hobo Dig a lot of days in a row then grow Hemp to turn into Hemp Rope at the Church Work Bench. 4 Hemp = 5 Hemp Rope = 1 blue point
-Research Glass and Glass Blower technologies to make Conical Flasks granting 1 blue point each. (save the flasks since you’ll need a bunch later on to make embalming injections)

Study (number is amount of blue points granted):
20 Blood
10 Bone
50 Brain
20 Fat
20 Flesh
50 Heart
50 Intestine
20 Skin
20 Skull

(Progress far with Inquisitor questline to unlock dark organs)
150 Dark brain
100 Dark heart
150 Dark Intestine

20 Gravestone
30 Gravestone 2
80 Marble cross
90 Marble cross 2

20 Wooden grave fence
10 Wooden marker

Powder, Solutions, and Extracts: the majority of them
give 5 blue points when studied so I won’t list them all here.

Crafting (points each time you craft an item):
Hemp Rope from Hemp = 1 point
Conical Flask from Glass = 1 point
Advanced Conical Flask from CF = 1 point
Story from Pen&Ink+Paper+Faith = 1 point
Notes from Stories = 1 point (need 3 for a Chapter)

You can study items for blue points in the Study Table bellow the church. Such items will net about 1.200 blue points if you do all graveyard stone/marble fences and gravestones.

After that, if you still need blue points, the best way is to make glass in 1 furnace, and then turn the glass into conical flasks, and from them onto advanced conical flasks.

Let it run with whatever amount you want and then come back again to get the points. Not the fastest way but for sure the cheapest one, considering that you only need fuel for the furnace and river sand + water for the rest of the items.

One of the longest achievements in the game. Blue orbs can be obtained by studying items on the research table in the basement of the church. Most of all they give for the study of the “dark” organs and everything related to “theology”. You also get points by making glass, flasks, complex flasks, marble, candles, incense, pigskin, paper, book covers, when writing notes, chapters and the books themselves. You will get the most when making tombstones and fences from various materials; the more difficult the item to make, the more balls. You can make a cake or grape pie and study everything, receiving an additional blue ball, although this is more of a last resort. Attention , purchasing blue books from the Astrologer does not count towards the achievement! And I strongly recommend agreeing to lick the apple when completing the Snake quest.

The only trophy that can cause you to quit the game. You can just install 3 ovens and make test tubes. This produces a lot of blue balls at minimal cost. You charge the stoves and go to meditation.

With the addition about zombies, you will no longer have the problem of resources, there will be plenty of stone and marble, which means that you will be able to make tombstones in any quantity, examine them in the basement of the church, for marble crosses and fences they give a lot of blue balls, I got this trophy probably in the middle of the game.

after studying everything and everyone, there are still a lot of balls that need to be earned, it seemed to me that I found the easiest and fastest way to fill these balls
we make a fence from stone and polished stone, we get 3 balls, we disassemble the fence, we get back a polished stone, thus having 5 polished stones and a supply of simple stone, you can quickly finish off the missing balls, and if you use the elixir of digestion and the same baked apples (which start give 17 energy), then you can sleep much less often
