What to do to my ancient seed?

I got it to the museum

he'll give you a reward of a Ancient Seed pack that you can plant and the recipe on how to make more if you find another Ancient Seed. It takes 28 days to grow. Produces every 7 days. Make it into Wine (most profitable) or Jelly. Up to you. It grows in every season except Winter.

So in summer i need to plant it? What is that seed maker do?

keep it for when you restore the greenhouse and then fill that up with ancient fruit then turn that ancient fruit into wine and then age that wine

seed makers produce seeds of the thing you put in it so putting ancient fruit in would give you ancient fruit seeds

If you plant it outside you waste alot of potential gold. When it comes to winter the seed dies, so greenhouse is only place it should be used in. It is incredibly hard to find more seeds.

I'm pretty sure you can get more ancient seeds with the seedmaker. Which you input crops into to produce seeds. It drops either as a random result making seeds with other crops or by putting the ancient fruit themselves through the seed maker. Otherwise to make more ancient seeds you have to dig them up (I mean with dig spots around town) and turn them into the ancient seed packet via your craft menu. If that makes any sense at all. ^_^;;

Sooo i need the greenhouse first so that it will grow endlessly



Ahmm so is it ok to put some ancient crops to seedmaker?

[Lucht]

You don't NEED the greenhouse first. It just means that the plant will live forever. If you plant them outside in Spring, they'll last for 3 seasons.

And be aware that there's always a chance that the ancient crops can become mixed seeds if they're put into the seedmaker. I should have mentioned that before.

[Zaflis]

There is 0.5% chance (1 crop of every 200 "wasted") when put in seedmaker, that you get ancient seed. That includes if you put in ancient fruit. Most you get is mixed seeds.

Then there's 1% chance to find 1 seed from traveling merchant.. again think about visiting him 100 times, and not finding anything 99 times :p

edit: My mistake, wiki wasn't clear on this. You get much higher chance for ancient seeds from the ancient fruit.

PUT THEM IN KEGS MAKE WINE

[Klrmebad]

IF YOU HAVE FEW ANCIENT FRUIT, I DID THE SEED MAKER, ON A GOOD DAY, WHEN IT WOULD DOUBLE THE SEED, THEN PLANT THEM WAIT FOR THEM TO RIPE, AND WHEN YOU HAVE ALOT, PUT THEM IN WINE, THEN KEGS. AND WAIT ALMOST 3 MONTHS TO MAKE THE PRICE GO UP.

if you have a limited amount of ancient fruit put it into the seedmaker at the start of the day. 6:00 AM. if you don't get 3 seeds, restart the day put it in at 6:10 etc.

calculation is based on the location of the seed maker and the time of day it gets in the seed maker. not worth figuring out, just keep trying until you get 3 seeds.

if you plant in summer it will harvest in fall 28 days later. so first week in summer you'd get 4 harvests, which you can turn into 12 seeds. 12 seeds are more than 1 seed. so planting in the field makes sense.

provided you have a seed maker. and save first.

Ohh so i just alt f4 till i get 3 seeds?
