How to Get Ancient Seeds
Destroy Greydwarf Nest Spawners
Look out for these purple glowing nests that looks like a bonfire because these are greydwarf nest spawners. Destroying one will guarantee a Ancient seed to drop! You can try getting more Ancient Seeds by allowing it to continue spawning Greydwarfs, especialy Brutes as they have a guarantee drop. Be careful though, they can overwhelm you if you are not equipped well enough.
| Spawner | Quantity | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Greydwarf Nest | 1 | 100% |
Dropped by Enemy
| Enemy | Enemy Lv. | Qty. | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greydwarf Brute | 1 | 1 | ~33% |
| Greydwarf Brute | 2 | 2 | ~66% |
| Greydwarf Brute | 3 | 4 | 100% |
Can Be Spawned with Console Command
