Trying to start a farm... no seeds

[H. P. Hatecraft]

Can any generous fellow give me some seeds to get me going?

[Drag]

What kind of seeds?

[H. P. Hatecraft]

Any kind to be honest. Just trying to get a small farm going for potion mats.

[Drag]

Oh. Yeah, I got plenty of spare. Once you get it started the main idea is to not harvest the plants until they're blooming.

[H. P. Hatecraft]

Cool. You got a server?

[Drag]

Afraid not. My ISP won't let me port-forward properly and I'd rather not use third-party software.

So how do I get the seeds?

Potion mat seeds are honestly really easy to get. The two most difficult are Fireblossom and Deathweed.

Blinkroot sometimes doesn't even need seeds. If you have a patch of bare dirt, blinkroot WILL grow on it.

Daybloom spawns naturally on dirt that has plain grass, the seeds for it can be gathered during the day.

Deathweed is tricky, but grows naturally on Ebonstone or Crimstone, as well as corrupted grass, and the seeds for it can be gathered during a Bloodmoon.

Fireblossom is found in the Underworld, on Ash blocks, and the seeds can be gathered when the plant is submerged in lava. Thankfully, both plant and seeds are immune to lava damage.

Moonglow is found growing on Jungle Grass, and the seeds for it can be gathered at night.

Waterfleaf is found in deserts (usually uncorrupted) and the beaches, and the seeds can be gathered during rainstorms.

Shiverthorn is found in the snow biomes. They seem to have a long growing time, but once the flower blooms (it starts to give off dim light when it does), the seeds can be gathered at any time.


There's other seeds in the game, but none of them are especially difficult to get, once you unlock them.

Pumpkin seeds could be considered a waste, as pumpkins grow naturally during the Halloween event.

The easiest way is to find the plant in it snatural habbitat and harvest it when it's blooming. Daybloom will bloom during the day time, blinkroot blooms at random times (not entirely sure when or why), moonglow blooms at night, waterleaf blooms only when it's raining, firebloosm down in hell doesn't seem to bloom (from my experience, the wiki may say otherwise), deathweed will bloom during a blood moon, and silverthorn, well I'm not sure... it seems to bloom in the snow biome at all times when it's fully grown, though.

The moral of the story: plants give seeds when they're blooming.

Getting the basic seeds is so easy. It just takes just a little bit of time, effort and some exploring. It's almost impossible not get get some of these seeds by just looking around a bit. A few people here even took the time to explain to you how to get them, but you just want everything handed to you without any effort? What fun is that? Why even play the game?
