How to Get Town Gratitude in Graveyard Keeper 2

Earn Town Gratitude through qualifying town activity, including completed warehouse orders, eligible trades, quests, and applicable Gratitude items. Sermons spend the accumulated amount, so it must be rebuilt afterward. To raise the maximum rather than refill the current total, repair houses and bring more residents into town.

GUIDE CHECKED: SEPTEMBER 24, 2026EVIDENCE: RELEASE-BUILD PLAYER REPORTSVERSION: LAUNCH BUILD

Ways players report earning Town Gratitude

  • Complete warehouse supply orders and claim the result from the board on its collection day. The Supply: Iron walkthrough covers one full order cycle.
  • Sell qualifying items when the shop interface shows the thumbs-up reward. A merchant may have a weekly Gratitude allowance, so repeated sales can stop awarding it.
  • Finish town quests whose reward panel includes Gratitude.
  • Use a Gratitude-restoring item when the description explicitly identifies that effect.

Current Gratitude versus maximum Gratitude

Current total

The spendable amount available for a sermon. It can be refilled through eligible town actions and rewards.

Maximum cap

The upper limit. Release-build players report that it follows town population, so repairing homes and welcoming residents raises it.

Why a sermon resets the amount

Community reports describe Town Gratitude as part of the sermon resource loop: build it through town activity, use it at the church, then earn it again. A low number immediately after a sermon is therefore not automatically a bug.

Why a sale stopped giving Gratitude

Check the reward icon and the shop's remaining allowance. Reports point to merchant-specific weekly limits, which means an otherwise eligible item may stop producing Gratitude until the relevant cycle resets. Burial-certificate behavior has also varied in community reports, so do not assume every certificate always produces one point.

Evidence boundary: Sources and cap behavior here are launch-build player observations. The developer has not published a complete Gratitude formula in the cited material, and patch-sensitive values are deliberately omitted.

Town Gratitude FAQ

Why did Town Gratitude drop after a sermon?

How do you raise maximum Town Gratitude?

Repair town houses and bring in more residents. Players report that the maximum tracks town population.

Do Gratitude scrolls increase the maximum?

Player reports say they restore current Gratitude inside the existing cap rather than increasing the cap.
