The rarest as Darkweed seed and LightBlossom seeds. Unfortunately, the only way I’ve discovered to obtain these seeds is by killing a Treant and using the scythe to “harvest” these seeds.
Thundergrass seeds, fire blossom, and snow lotus are also a little more challenging to get, but not that hard if you head over to the wheat fields. The good part is you do not need very many of them. One seed per plot is all you need, and once you grow plants from these seeds, you get more seeds. These seeds can be sold to certain NPCs for a good amount of gold.
Plants I prefer to grow
Around 4-5 seeds in the game are a bit more difficult to get, so I prefer to grow these plants as each plot will produce seeds, which you can then sell to an NPC (about ten seeds for 100 gold).
Shrubbery (Shrub Seedlings)
Grows in: Medium plot.
Shrubbery will grow in about 4-5 hours. Along with the flowers you get, the seeds, and the elemental cores, there is also a chance of getting a Lucky Clover. This can be used for cooking, taming, or sold to the Archer NPC for 777 gold (once you have leveled them up).
I estimate the chance of getting a Lucky Clover is around 20%. Of the 12 plots of Shrubbery that I planted. I got a total of 3 Lucky Clovers. So if you’ve planted four plots with Shrubbery, you might get one clover per growing cycle (either every 2, 5 or 8 hours, depending on the type of plant/seeds grown).
Thundergrass (Thundergrass Seeds)
Grows in: Large Plot
These will grow in about 7-8 hours. This ingredient is needed to produce an Acidic Extract, which creates all tame feed in the Cooking Pot.
As mentioned before, any extra seeds can be sold to NPC or saved for future plantings.
Fire Blossom (Fireblossom Seeds)
Grows in: Large Plot.
Another ingredient used for crafting tame feed.
These seeds are harder to come by and generally aren’t found as often, so it’s nice to have extra seeds for planting or trading.
Darkweed and Lightblossom seeds are also beneficial to grow; although these two seeds aren’t used as often as the others, it’s always a good idea to have them handy. Darkseeds are used as an ingredient for creating a potion to reset your skill stats points.
Fungal spores are fairly easy to get. Tame a boar, and you’ll have more than you’ll ever need.
