The 1.6 Update for Stardew Valley has introduced new late-game items for players to unlock and craft, including the Treasure Totem. Historically, Totems are used to fast-travel to specific locations like the Beach, Desert, or home. However, this new totem isn’t designed to speed up travel between locations, but money into player’s pockets.

The Treasure Totem is unlocked in Stardew Valley by completing the Foraging Mastery in the Mastery Cave. For those intent on getting the Treasure Totem recipe, as well as the Mystic Tree Seed recipe, unlocking this Mastery first is going to be the best course of action, as it will only cost 10,000 Mastery Points.

Mastery Points are obtained by doing tasks around the farm, which generate experience that goes toward a total used to unlock the five Mastery pillars in the Mastery Cave.
