Ancient Seeds 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 [499]. You will then receive the Ancient Seeds 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 [499]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 Seeds item.

Ancient Seeds are a type of seed. Mature plants yield Ancient Fruit. Ancient Seeds can be purchased at the Traveling Cart for 100–1,000g (1.26% chance to appear).

Ancient Seeds can also be obtained from Ancient Fruit by using a Seed Maker. Whenever the Seed Maker is used with any crop other than Ancient Fruit, there is a 0.5% chance to obtain one packet of Ancient Seeds instead of the crop's seeds.

After donating an Ancient Seed artifact to the Museum, a packet of Ancient Seeds can be claimed from Gunther as a reward. A crafting recipe will also be given which allows Ancient Seeds to be crafted from an Ancient Seed artifact.

Ancient Seeds cannot be planted in Garden Pots. Attempting to place Ancient Seeds in a Garden Pot will display the message "Her roots grow very deep... She wouldn't be happy in there."

Ancient Seeds can be deconstructed to make an Ancient Seed artifact using a Deconstructor. This is useful if the player has a packet of Ancient Seeds available but does not yet have the artifact donated to the Museum.
