This guide is only for Qi’s Prismatic Grange quest which is a challenge you accept in Qi’s Walnut room for Qi gems. It’s mostly just a quick guide for myself tbh.

First of all keep in mind it does not need to be 100 of the same item. So you can put a little bit of several different things if you’re short on junk to toss out.

Second of all you will not get any money or anything back after you have deposited it. So keep in mind that you will probably not want to send off 100 iridium ore even if you do have a lot of it on hand.

Third this is based on the color dye system, but doesn’t accept everything on the color dye system. I went thru the list on the wiki and picked out everything that wasn’t accepted but it is hard to tell the difference between bold and unbolded so I might have made mistakes.

Lastly some modded items work. Gl finding out what does tho there’s probably zero way to know until you open the box to deposit items.

Cheap / Items You Might Already Have in Bulk on Hand

Need the items fast? these items are most likely what you have on hand in largest amounts/garbage you need to get rid of.

I’m too lazy to anylyze this all too deeply but I’m pretty sure the stuff on this list is all the “Cheapest” options. What you have on hand for the challenge really depends on your playstyle.

Red: Cherry bombs, explosive ammo, salmonberry
Orange: copper ore, copper bar, earth crystal
Yellow: Hay, sap
Green: Fiber, green algae, seaweed
Blue: Blackberry, blueberry, broken CD/Glasses, joja Cola, clam, Frozen Geodes
Purple: refined quartz, void essence, bug meat

Some rarer garbage-y items are not included (dwarf scrolls) and I tried not to include crops/forage since most people likely sell off most of their crops and don’t keep 100+ of each crop on hand lol. Be sure to check out the more detailed lists below to make sure you can’t do a bit of spring cleaning of old rings or such.

I recommend if you literally have nothing to your name ingame… to take trips in the mines at the lower levels for copper ore/ supplies for explosive ammo, bug meat, fiber, quartz to refine, and scouring the upper levels for shadow ppl to kill off. The Blue items are probably the hardest to get a hold of fast. You could try fishing up junk on level 100 of the mine but it would likely take a lot of energy and time ( probably more than 1 ingame day). If you’re short on coal kill off dust sprites on the icey levels of the mine for coal, it seems faster and less supplies over charcoal kilns imo.

If you find a “overrun floor” It will continue to be the overrun floor the entire day so after killing everything you want on that floor (bugs/shadow people/dust sprites) exit the mine and try to get back to that level (aka if lvl 81 is overrun then leave and take the elevator to level 80) this trick is useful enough that it might be a good idea to enter/exit each level divisible by 10 and going down 1 level for the group of monsters you are targeting at the start of the day in case you are lucky.
