Ancient fruit
I fancy getting rich and I've heard Ancient Fruit wife sells for a small loan of a lot. How does one obtain this magical money maker? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You get an ancient seed, donate it to the museum, and you get ONE seed. Just buy blueberries in summer, cranberries in fall, and strawberries in spring. Take about 5-6 days to produce the first fruit, then every 3-4 days after that, selling for 15,000 for about 50.

I currently have 2 but I didn't plant them out of fear.

You can get more seeds dungeong diving later and use the seed maker to multiply them, it's not just that one forever.

I know those make a lot of money, but I like to make money in different ways. If I really wanted to I'd fill my farm with nothing but hoed land, but that would be boring. Just trying to make the game more enjoyable for myself :)

You find an ancient seed while mining and donate it to the museum.

You'll get a seed at randon from geodes or monsters or chests, after you donate that single one you get a seed pack back and the crafting recipe to turn ancient seeds into ancient seed packs that you can sow.

You get them like any other artifact.
Hurodrik Mar 8, 2016 @ 12:10pm 
Yes, it's an artifact until you donate your first one. Then Gunther will give you one and you will gain the recipe to make more from other "artifact" ancient seeds you find. I only ever found three. But I planted the first one and always used it's fruits in the seed maker. I hoarded the seeds until I had a greenhouse and then I continued to slowly grow the number I had planted (it's the kind of plant that keeps producing after reaching maturity).

All you need is the one seed from Gunther honestly :D
i started with a single ancient fruit plant, planted it at the start of the second year in spring, put all fruits i harvested into the seedmaker for the entire year and used the seeds to plant new ones (Deluxe Speed-Gro helps) until the first of fall, got my greenhouse sometime early spring and planted them all there from then on, now my entire greenhouse is filled with ancient fruits and i have 96 ancient fruit plants outside (a total of 192 ancient fruit plants) :D
at the very least thats around 144 000 gold every 6-8 days :D

You can also get them from digging up worms and from fishing treasures. The caravan sells them on rare occasions, check her shop every Friday and Sunday in the woods below your farm.

However, the most reliable way to get ancient seeds is with a seed maker. Anything you put into a seed maker has a small chance to give ancient seeds, and so if you want to be sure to get some the easiest way is to farm a bunch of cheap crops and churn them through a bunch of seed makers until you get an ancient seed out of it.

After that, ancient fruits will always turn into 1-3 ancient seed packets with a small chance of mixed seeds on occasion, but it's less than 10% chance for that to happen you mostly get more ancient seeds back. You can grow your ancient fruit plants exponentially, especially in the greenhouse. It doesn't take as long as it seems like it would, less than a year.

6% chance to get mixed seeds. But since It continues fruiting all year you have to be really unlucky to not get some seeds out of your first crop.

Yeah very true. If you plant them outside on Spring 1 you should get 10 fruits out of it.
