Start your own material farm in Black Myth: Wukong by collecting rare seeds. Once you unlock the Zodiac Village, an NPC will take seeds from you and plant them in an unseen garden. Periodically you can return to harvest your fresh resources. There are a total of 15 seeds you can acquire from the plants in different regions. To get some seeds, you’ll need to keep collecting plants that grow — there’s a small chance you’ll get the planet and a seed when picking it up. There’s only a small chance of this, so we’re going to get into the weeds and explain where to get all 15 seeds and improve your chances of spawning one.
Find all 15 seeds and give them to Chen Loong in the Zodiac Village to unlock the ‘Seeds to Sow‘ achievement / trophy.
How To Farm Seeds
Seeds can be obtained by collecting plants that grow in different regions — plants will only respawn at 30-minute intervals, so farming can be difficult. To speed up farming, you can try these different methods.
- Because plants only respawn after 30 minutes, you may want to farm multiple plants at once. Switching between 15~ locations and collecting plants will pass the time.
- Change the system clock on your computer or console. By moving the time up 30 minutes, the plants will respawn instantly. This can be done on PS5 or PC. Quit the game totally — you need to close it for this to work — then change the time on your system clock. Launch the game again and the plants should respawn.
- Equip items to improve item drop. Put on the Skull of Turtle Treasure and the Golden Carp Curio to boost your discoverability to max.
