Summary
Stardew Valleyisn’t necessarily a game about luck given that every problem can be solved with perseverance butone player proved that rare miracles go a long way to making Pelican Town a little more special. During the course of one’s playthrough, the Farmer will likely encounter several incredibly rare items that can take hours upon hours of grinding to discover in the wild. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate the excessive grinding, but certain events randomly can trigger which can help speed up the process of waiting for certain fruits to appear.
Posted to Reddit bykebaby03, the user described howthey managed to acquire an Ancient Fruit, one ofStardew Valley’s rarest items, within just four in-game dayswhich equates to roughly an hour in reality.
The player notes that they managed to luckily acquire an ancient seed in a fishing chest on Day 3 only to have the fairy show up overnight and sprinkle her magic over the crop, resulting in an Ancient Fruitjust a day later. The odds of these occurrences happening in isolation are low so having all three take place within the same day is incredible.

How To Get Ancient Seeds Quickly
Patience Is Always A Virtue
Ancient Fruit is widely regarded as one of the best crops in theStardew Valleythanks to their return on time investment and lack of effort when it comes to maintenance. It usually takes a few in-game weeks for players to discover the Ancient Seed artifact which in turn can be donated to the Museum for a packet of Ancient Seeds; alternatively, they can also bepurchased from the Travelling Cartbut this can take a while. Once planted,the Ancient Seed takes 28 days to eventually blossom into a plant and yield the Ancient Fruit.
It’s undoubtedly a time-consuming process at first so players understandably have tried several ways to speed up both the acquisition of the seed and the growth of the plant itself. Unfortunately,there isn’t an in-game means of moving everything along, so users will simply need to wait out the clock. Alternatively, they could use mods or hacks to make the fairy spawn and hope thatshe sprinkles her magic duston the correct target, but that defeats the point of the game to some extent.
Obtaining an Ancient Fruit so early into aStardew Valleycampaign is incredibly rare and, thanks to kebaby03’s luck, they should be able tofast-track many projectsthanks to the crop’s continuous yield.The fruit allows for the creation of several pricy items that can be sold for some decent profits. One has to imagine that the series of events needed to pull this off after just four days may never happen again.
