Seed Maker: Ancient Fruit → Ancient Seeds

Input: 1 × Ancient Fruit
Ordinary output: 1–3 × Ancient Seeds
Processing time: 20 in-game minutes

Requires an eligible crop harvest; passing the general tag check alone is insufficient. Coffee Beans and Fiber are excluded by their banning tag.
Mutually exclusive branches: first draw below 0.5% gives 1 Ancient Seeds; otherwise a second draw below 2% gives 1–4 Mixed Seeds; otherwise gives 1–3 corresponding crop seeds. The second roll is conditional, not a flat 2% final chance.
Ancient Fruit also produces Ancient Seeds in the ordinary corresponding-seed branch; the rare branch is not its only Ancient Seeds outcome.

Kent — Arrives in year 2; not present in year 1.
Sandy — Ordinary friendship/gifting requires the Oasis introduction event to have been seen by at least one player. Reaching the Desert also depends on your travel options.

Dwarf — Positive friendship gains require understanding Dwarvish. The taste itself is unchanged; access to the Dwarf’s area is separate.
Krobus
Leo — Requires the host’s island introduction progress. Home changes after the host’s move-to-the-valley event; this is not a fixed daily schedule.

Ordinary tastes describe base items. Quality, birthdays and other friendship modifiers are separate; special items use their own handlers. Gift guide →
