The Ancient Seed is an Artifact that can be found by digging up an Artifact Spot in Cindersap Forest or The Mountain (including the Quarry), or obtained inside Artifact Troves, or Fishing Treasure Chests after reaching Fishing level 2. It can also be dropped from Bugs, Grubs, Cave Flies, Mutant Flies, and Mutant Grubs (0.5% chance) or found by cutting foliage in Prehistoric Floors or the Volcano Dungeon. Placing a packet of Ancient Seeds in a Deconstructor yields an Ancient Seed. It can also be found by cutting foliage on Prehistoric Floors, in The Mines when they are in a "Dangerous" state, or in the Volcano Dungeon.

This artifact can be crafted into viable seeds that can be planted to grow Ancient Fruit during Spring, Summer and Fall, or during any season in the Greenhouse or the Ginger Island farm.

Ancient Seed Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [114]. You will then receive the Ancient Seed item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [114] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Ancient Seed item.

Where to Find Ancient Seed

Ancient Seed can be found by digging artifact spots — the dark "X" marks that appear on the ground after rain. Each spot has a chance to yield this item depending on the area.
