Key To The Town in Stardew Valley

Even though this key is a rather unique item, it is easy to find. All you need to do to get the Key To The Town in Stardew Valley is buy it from Mr. Qi for 20 Qi Gems. He is located in Qi's Walnut Room, which is inaccessible from the start of the game. Therefore, before you can get the key, you need to meet this mysterious man. To do this, players must collect at least 100 Golden Walnuts, which can only be found on Ginger Island by breaking crates, fishing, mining, killing monsters, and more.

Once you collect enough, the Walnut Room will be unlocked on the western side of the same island. In it, you can find Mr. Qi, as well as the Special Orders Board. By completing these small challenges, you will earn a new currency called Qi Gems. Alternatively, players can sell Golden Walnuts for these Gems or clear dangerous Mines.

It is important to note that Qi Gems will not drop until you unlock the Walnut Room. After that, all you have to do is collect 20 Qi Gems to buy the Key To The Town in Stardew Valley.
