Quick facts
In Stardew Valley 1.6, the Wallet was replaced by the Special Items & Powers tab.
The tab tracks special quest items, permanent book powers, and Mastery Cave powers.
Many entries are route gates for major systems such as Sewers, Casino, Secret Notes, Skull Cavern, Wizard Buildings, and Qi utility.
Use it as a permanent unlock audit
Special Items & Powers is the best place to check which route gates are already solved. It collects access items and invisible powers that otherwise feel scattered across quests, shops, friendship events, and mastery systems.
- Check Museum unlocks for Rusty Key and Dwarvish Translation Guide.
- Check Secret Note unlocks for Magnifying Glass, Special Charm, and Bear's Knowledge.
- Check Qi and Mastery unlocks when late-game utility or completion feels missing.
Separate the three groups
The tab is not one checklist with one source type. Special Items usually come from quests, Book Powers come from reading specific books, and Mastery Powers come from the Mastery Cave after all five skills reach level 10.
- Quest items often unlock places or story progress.
- Book powers improve movement, prices, fishing, combat, trash, and gathering routes.
- Mastery powers define late-game systems such as Trinkets, Golden Animal Crackers, and Golden Mystery Boxes.
