Qi Fruit Information

The Qi Fruit is a fruit crop that grows from Qi Beans after 4 days. This fruit is only available during the "Qi's Crop" quest.

All Qi Fruit and Qi Beans despawn when the quest is over (i.e. the day after the player ships them or the quest timer ends), including growing crops, all players' inventories, chests, Preserves Jars, Kegs, and Marlon's item recovery service list.

Qi Fruit is always normal quality.

Qi Fruit Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [889]. You will then receive the Qi Fruit item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [889] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Qi Fruit item.
