Stardew Valley has a plethora of crops and seeds that can be used to harvest Fruits. Ancient Seed is one of the rare crops that can be most profitable if used well. Considering its higher selling price, you can sell it to earn more Gold. But like other crops, players are unable to find Ancient Seed to harvest it.
Don’t worry, check out our guide on how to get the Ancient Seed in Stardew Valley with all of its uses. So, here’s everything you need to know about harvesting or obtaining this rare crop.
How to Get Stardew Valley Ancient Seed
You can get the Stardew Valley Ancient Seed by donating the Ancient Seed Artifact to Gunther. In return, he will reward you with an Ancient Seed with the crafting recipe to sow them. Now, you can plant the Ancient Seeds at your farm to grow the Ancient Fruits.
There are several other ways to get the Ancient Seeds too. If you have found it for the first time, you must donate it to Gunther’s Museum. For the players that couldn’t find the Artifact, here are all the ways to get them:
- Dig up the Artifact Spots to find them.
- Looting the Fishing Treasure Chests.
- Dropped from Bug enemies located at the Skull Cavern in the Prehistoric Floors.
If you want to save the trouble and get the Ancient Seeds directly, you can purchase them from the Traveling Cart Merchant. But the chances of him appearing is 1.26%. Furthermore, you can also use the Seed Maker to get an Ancient Seed Packet. However, there is only a 0.5% chance of getting them from the Seed Maker. As there is a 1.99% chance of getting Mixed seeds, you can get 2-3 Ancient Seeds back. Check out our guide on how to craft the Seed Maker for more insight.
So, we suggest the best way to get the Ancient Seeds would be donating the Artififact to Gunther’s Museum. Once you plant the seed, it takes an entire season to grow the Ancient Fruit. This will take about 28 days until the Fruit is ripe. After that, it will produce the Ancient Fruits every 7 days.
