Input

1–3 × Taro Tuber
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.

  • Dwarf — Positive friendship gains require understanding Dwarvish. The taste itself is unchanged; access to the Dwarf’s area is separate.
  • Kent — Arrives in year 2; not present in year 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
