The '''Qi Bean''' is a seed found throughout Stardew Valley and on [[Ginger Island]] during the quest [[Quests#Qi's Crop|Qi's Crop]].
While the quest is active, Qi Beans can be found by breaking rocks<ref name="rock" />, chopping down [[trees]]<ref name="tree" /> and stumps<ref name="stump" />, cutting [[weeds]]<ref name="weed" />, from [[Garbage Can]]s<ref name="garbage" />, killing [[monsters]]<ref name="monster" />, breaking [[Minerals#Geodes|geodes]], [[Artifact Trove]]s, [[Golden Coconut]]s, [[Mystery Box]]es, or [[Golden Mystery Box]]es<ref name="geode" />, digging [[Artifact Spot]]s<ref name="artifactspot" />, shaking [[Palm Tree]]s on [[Ginger Island]]<ref name="palm" />, opening chests<ref name="chest" />, and breaking crates<ref name="crate" /> in the [[Volcano Dungeon]], and [[fishing]]<ref name="fish" />. They can also be made by placing a Qi Fruit in a [[Seed Maker]].
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, [[Chest]]s, [[Preserves Jar]]s, [[Keg]]s, and [[Marlon]]'s [[Adventurer's Guild#Item Recovery Service|Item Recovery Service]] list. [[Crops#Giant Crops|Giant Qi Fruit]] would not disappear.

===Tips===
==Dyeing==
* Given that treasures can yield one or more stacks of 4 Beans during the quest, fishing is a reliable source of Qi Beans when combined with the [[Skills#Fishing|Pirate fishing skill]] and a [[Treasure Hunter|Treasure Hunter tackle]].
The Qi Bean can be used in [[dyeing]], serving as a blue dye at the dye pots, located in [[Emily]]'s and [[Haley]]'s house, [[2 Willow Lane]].
* During the quest, it may be helpful to create more Qi Beans in [[Seed Maker]]s instead of selling the first Fruits.
* Breaking [[Geodes]] may occasionally yield 1 or 5 Qi Beans.
==Tips==
* [[Deluxe Speed-Gro]] will allow growth in 3 days instead of 4.
* Given that [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chests]] have a 48% chance to yield a stack of up to 4 Qi Beans during the quest, fishing is a reliable source of Qi Beans when combined with the [[Magnet]] bait, [[Skills#Fishing|Pirate Profession]], and a [[Treasure Hunter]] tackle.
* Putting Qi Fruit into [[Seed Maker]]s and planting the resulting Qi Beans will, on average, nearly double the Qi Fruit supply. Qi Fruit produced early in the quest can be doubled several times with this method.
* Breaking any type of [[Minerals#Geodes|Geode]] may occasionally yield 1 or 5 Qi Beans.
* The use of [[Speed-Gro]], [[Deluxe Speed-Gro]], or [[Hyper Speed-Gro]], and the [[Skills#Farming|Agriculturist Profession]] can reduce the time between harvests by 1 or 2 days.
