Chipped Amphora & Rare Disk Madness

[bvrakvs]

Cannot find these two artifacts at all... No worm in town gave me the cursed amphora, nor any dirt patch in the damned mine gave me any rare disk. If you have found them somehow, please tell me where & when?

I got the amphora somehow, still no luck with the darn disk :) Is it only in skull dungeon or is also in regular mine too?

I got my disc while fishing in the river in front of Jodi's house.

Amphora -- grats on finding it! (I'm still looking... ) Where did you find yours?

For the Rare Disc, I always find mine from monster drops. They have a drop rate of exactly 1 / 1000 for these monsters: Bat (1-39), Frost Bat (41-79), Lava Bat (81-119), Shadow Brute (81-119) and Shadow Shaman (81-119).

As for the Amphora, I seem t o always find that when digging worms in Pelican Town (same screen as Pierre's, Saloon etc). Worms are more common in winter since more diggable ground draws the chance to spawn a worm tiles every day, so that may be a good time to look for the Amphora.

Amphora was the 2nd to last one I needed too. How I got it was, fast forward to Fall 28th. Make 28 of some luck food like pumpkin soup or lucky lunch, and an equal amount of rain totems. Now make a backup of your save files (%appData%/roaming/StardewValley).

Now each day in winter, eat a luck food then use rain totem. Go to bed without touching anything else. Do this for 3 days in a row, and on the 4th day, go for a worm hunt and dig them all. Also get all forage items too, as I think they share a pool. It's important you cover every zone in the game, since I think there is also a fixed world pop, so if some end up stuck in the Oasis, for instance, the amount that can pop elsewhere will go down. So clear the whole world out. Then repeat this every 4 days and you should have 7 batches worth of runs to do for the winter.

Doing this I got one finally on my 3rd run, in town near the saloon.

The save game backup is if you go through all 7 runs and don't get one. Restore your saves and do it all over again, this time only waiting 2 days on the first prep so that you get a new set of RNG rolls.

As for the disk, I got mine fishing in the river south of Leah, I believe, but they are very common drops in the mines. Just buy a ton of mega bombs and bomb everything, especially tillable soil. Remember to buy some miner treats too since you'll probably need to heal yourself from all the explosions.

This is obviously end game activity, I do not suggest either of these for someone who is still playing the game normally.

I found the wretched amphora from some worms in the village, just north of the Lewis' house, in that small dirt patch. I fished for 3 days, spent 10 treasure tackles, no disc from fishing near Leah's house. That disc is not rare, it is legandary...

Can you restart the day if you had alot of wormspawns and try for the artifact again or is the artifact set when the day starts and not actually when you dig?

[Mackenzie]

Worms/stems draw from the daily seed, and will always yield the exact same thing until they are collected or despawn naturally.

[drizzan]

So luck buffs is useless for digging worms then? If the item found is set by the start of day that is.

[Mackenzie]

Indeed, luck has nothing to do with it... well the statistic in-game Luck I mean. Luck itself as in the concept does technically play a significant roll.

[drizzan]

Haha very true! Well then I guess I'm sticking to my coffee spamming (+1 speed) while running everywhere each day checking worms. =)

Now that I think about it, this could actually be the first game where the ingame character drinks more coffee than me IRL.

[Mackenzie]

Horse too, if you feel the need for speed!
