| Address | Museum |
Gunther is the curator of the Museum and library in Pelican Town, on the east side of the river. When the farmer arrives, his museum stands empty, because the previous curator ran off with the entire collection. Gunther asks for help filling it with artifacts and minerals, and every donation brings the museum back to life. He rewards milestones in the collection with seeds, furniture, decorations and key items, most famously the Rusty Key that opens The Sewers. He is also the one who hands over the Dwarvish Translation Guide. For any farmer who digs, mines or fishes, Gunther hands out rewards across the whole game.
Lore
Gunther is friendly, earnest and a little embarrassed about his empty halls. On first meeting he admits that the old curator made off with every exhibit, and he hopes the farmer will bring in anything interesting found out in the valley. When the farmer turns up with nothing to donate, he cheerfully suggests heading out for some treasure hunting.
He takes great pride in the restored museum. After a large number of donations he visits the farm one morning to thank the farmer in person. He reports that the regional office has honoured the museum with the coveted "golden shovel" award. He then hands over an old key that has sat in the museum vault for at least a century. Once the collection is complete, he thanks the farmer again for making the museum look amazing.
Relationships
Gunther stays behind the museum counter at all times, waiting for donations, so he is always easy to find.
Gunther's bond with the farmer grows through museum donations, and he thanks the farmer warmly at each step of the restoration.
Notes
The first time the farmer enters the Museum carrying an artifact or mineral, Gunther explains the missing collection and starts the Archaeology quest, which asks for a first donation. Donated items are placed in display cases, and the farmer can arrange them freely.
Donation milestones bring rewards. The best known is the Rusty Key, which Gunther brings to the farm the morning after the sixtieth donation. That key opens The Sewers, home of Krobus and his shop. A scene with Jas and Vincent by the sewer entrance in Cindersap Forest also hints that Gunther holds the key. Completing the whole collection earns a Stardrop, one of the rare items that raise maximum energy.
Donating all four Dwarf Scrolls earns the Dwarvish Translation Guide, which lets the farmer talk to the Dwarf in The Mines and use the Dwarf's shop. The library side of the building holds the Lost Books, a separate collection of notes and stories found around the valley.
