Rare Seed

The '''Rare Seed''' is a type of seed. A mature plant yields a [[Sweet Gem Berry]].
One to five Rare Seeds can be purchased at the [[Travelling Traveling Cart]] for {{price|1000}} each during [[Spring]] and [[Summer]]. During any season, there is also a 1.26% chance that the merchant will be selling 1-5 Rare Seeds for {{tprice|200}} each. (You may see Rare Seeds occupying two slots in the merchant's offerings in Spring and Summer). Rare Seeds can also be obtained by using the [[Seed Maker]].
Despite the description stating that this seed "''takes all season to grow''", it takes only 24 days. If using [[Speed-Gro]] or [[Deluxe Speed-Gro]], the player has up to Day 7 of [[Fall]] to plant this seed, and it will be harvestable before [[Winter]].

==Tips==
*Since the Seed Maker creates an average of two seeds from one [[Sweet Gem Berry]], and that only 97.5% of the time, and since a [[Sweet Gem Berry]] is worth at least {{price|3000}} (more if it's of advanced quality), each Rare Seed produced from the Seed Maker is created at a cost of more than {{price|1500}}, perhaps as much as {{price|2250}}. This makes the maximum price of {{price|1000}} at the Travelling Traveling Cart a much better buy, even though the quantities offered there are limited.
*Rare Seeds bought from the [[Travelling Traveling Cart]] yield the highest per-day profit of any crop. But if you farm rare seeds in quantity with seeds produced by a [[Seed Maker]], per-day profits drop dramatically. Assuming you get an average of 1.975 seeds per equipment use, seeds made from regular quality Sweet Gem Berries yield profits at a minimum rate of only about {{price|60.9}} per day each. Using silver quality fruit for seeds, profits drop to about {{price|45.3}} per day each, still the highest of any crop. Using gold quality fruit for seeds, minimum profits are about {{price|29.7}} per day, a good return, but less than a few other crops.
:These numbers are based on the value of new fruits grown at regular quality, and can be raised significantly if you fertilize and get better quality in return. In practice, between the odds for seed maker production and the resulting quality of new crops, values and profits will vary quite a bit. This suggests that best results will usually be achieved by selling your gold-quality fruit as is, without making them into seeds, and using only lesser quality fruit for seeds and replanting.
