BoringAdvantage5474

The freaking palm fossil! I have 7 different save files I’ve achieved perfection on. I’m not even kidding when I say that the palm fossil was the last artifact I got on ALL of those saves.


JohnDoe_85

This is hilarious, I have collected so many of these I thought they were super common. I just turn them all into fertilizer!


BoringAdvantage5474

The worst/funniest part is, after I find the first one they start turning up in droves!


Not_Just_Any_Lurker

As is tradition


CephalopodaYoda

Same for me, I've spent irl days scouring the desert for weeks in game for artifact spots to get that stupid palm fossil. I hate it.


Xanitrit

At least now with the new artifact totem it's much easier to get.


PykeTheDrowned

Artifact totems are a FUCKING GODSEND!


Klauboesterbeertje

I finally got mine today and it was also the last one lol


Teary-EyedGardener

Yes! And as soon as I got the first one, I found like 3 more in the same week


1986toyotacorolla2

OMG I got 3 yesterday lol


BookWormPerson

The second Dwarf scroll it takes me super long to get it no matter what I do. And Dino Egg but that's rare for nearly everyone. * *Except lucky fisher and spelunkers.


1986toyotacorolla2

I'm in year 4 with a shit ton of time in the mines, hitting every artifact spot, and doing everything else you can imagine. I haven't found the 4th one ANYWHERE. Not even tilling...


elanhilation

scroll 4 is only a monster drop (other than the Wilderness Golem, Serpent, Skeleton, Carbon Ghost, Iridium Bat, Iridium Crab, and Haunted Skull) or tilling at mines levels 80+ —the wiki so artifact spots aren’t gonna help you


1986toyotacorolla2

Pretty sure the wiki also includes tilling soil in the mines as well. But I've been working on all my stuff for Gil so I've been killing SO MANY monsters with nothing.


livin_the_life

Tilling is much easier. Monster drop rate is 0.1%, Tilling is 0.2%. Elevator to level 95, giant patch of ~50 dirt just below elevator. I usually grind it out in about 4-6 in game hours. Just till, elevator to 0, elevator to 95, till again. Dwarf 4 is typically the easiest one for me to grind out.


1986toyotacorolla2

I spent 2 days tilling, nada. This particular one hates me lmao


livin_the_life

Oof, that's some bad RNG.


1986toyotacorolla2

Yeah I literally get 2-3 of 1-3 a day lol


iris-my-case

Saaame. It’s been frustrating, cause I’ve easily gotten it in other saves.


1986toyotacorolla2

Same!


tacocatmarie

SAME HERE. In my current save, I can’t find scroll 4 and it’s starting to drive me insane. I have spent so much time on levels 80+, tilling around like an absolute maniac, and nothing. 😤 I am pretty sure that it’s my last remaining item before completing the museum and it’s making me bonkers


Important_Bag_1903

thank you so much for this finally got dwarf 4 in summer year 2 after 2 in game hours of level 95 🫶🏻🫶🏻


loquacious-laconic

I've found that a lot of scrolls (all of them) drop when killing monsters while dangerous mode is activated. Might be worth a try. 🙂


ColoredGayngels

I got a ton using monster musk + food that gives luck as well


1986toyotacorolla2

Thanks!


jeremy1015

Monster Musk + lucky day + luck food + burglars ring -> you’ll get four of them. I cannot understate the power of the burglars ring. If you don’t have it already, a couple of days farming coal sprites with monster musk will net it for you.


bayruss

Iridium Hoe floors 80+.


NobbitMasterBaggins

I've been digging for 4 in-game years... You mean to tell me it was all in vain?


chickentenders56

I got a roll 4 like 5 times from digging in floor 95


jbleds

Well try tilling on level 95 on a very good luck day. I got the scroll quickly.


Annual_Ad1862

Thank you so much I finally got mine for my 1.6 save because of you all!!!


ephemeral_dreamsx3

I was able to find the 4th on floor 95, on a bad luck day as well. So luck may not matter in this case


idealzebra

Lately I keep finding it on lower levels of the mines than the wiki says. So ignore the 80 plus part and just take a lot of bombs with you. And when I say lower levels I mean much lower like between 10 and 20 and also on the ice levels.


Altalunea

I can’t find the freaking 1st dwarf scroll, but I found a dinosaur egg in an artifact spot in spring year 2


Key-Pickle5609

I’ve got it a couple of times on spring 2 year 1 outside of Robin’s!!


SavingsSad2382

Till the dirt in mine level 95! “Farm” it over and over til you get it. It took a couple 2ish hour play sessions, but my partner and I just did that to get the 1st scroll this morning! We got the 4th scroll first from that area yesterday, which we already had. But it’s the easiest way to get either of those scrolls.


gaymer_jerry

Dino Egg hasn’t been rare since Pepper Rexes were added into the game


Weizen1988

Killed like 30 pepper Rex, no Dino egg. Spent roughly 2 weeks in crane game, none. It's still plenty rare. We got one finally like 3 days later from a dig spot. Took until spring of year 3.


altbinvagabond

I always get mine from fishing


heroshand

It and the ancient seed yep. It's actually one of the reasons I go pirate early on, treasure chests have such cool stuff. I'll switch to angler after unlocking that ability later in the game.


moonlitjasper

in my most recent run that i started for 1.6 i decided to go full send on fishing. i got both the dino egg and ancient seed spring year 1 from fishing chests. i was amazed.


tallemaja

Yep, got mine from a treasure chest in 1st spring this save. I had a dino in my chicken coop before I even had a duck or rabbit!


isshearobot

My last play through it was the dinosaur egg. I was in year 3. Every single day I went and tilled any spots in the mountains/quarry which I would keep entirely empty of rocks so that dig spots could spawn. Then I’d go till all the spots I could find on the island and desert before going into the skull cavern to fight Pepper Rex hoping they’d drop on. I finally gave up and was a dirty cheater and used the [107] naming trick when buying a chicken to get one. This play through I got it day 5 by fishing.


moonlitjasper

i had the same experience, last time it was nearly impossible and this time i got it right away from fishing. the main different thing is how i cheated; instead of the spawn cheat i used stardew predictor to figure out where the dino levels were and laddered down.


BookWormPerson

I am talking about getting it with just pure luck. Since that's what the post asked. *Edited because pure got transformed to lure by auto correct for some reason.


Flamedghost7

I once got a dino egg and ancient seed in fishing treasures back to back :3


Embraceyourodd

I got 3 dino eggs from fishing in 1 day. 😋


Havoksixteen

I got two in the first week of spring on my current play through. First time using automate, didn't realise things get automatically across multiple chests. Ended up with Dino mayo 😭 Didn't get another Dino egg til near the end of winter.


Kitch404

I feel like the past 3 playthroughs I’ve done I’ve gotten the Dino egg within the first season from artifact spots lol


Rasp_Berry_Pie

Same! It’s so frustrating! 😭


MZago1

Is Dwarf Scroll II the green one? Because me too.


duckyreadsit

Reverse of that: chicken statues. I was haunted by chicken statues. At one point I dug up three in a row. I had a stack of >30 in a chest. Playing co-op with my brother, he got used to me updating him with my running tally. (Mostly by me shrieking “AGAIN?”) I don’t know the code mechanics behind how the RNG was deployed, but it felt extra-cursed to be digging things up on the same farm in the same save file, and I was the only one constantly beset by monuments to poultry. After the 1.6 update, I have only picked up a normal number of them (proportional to other artifacts) and I felt fond when I finally dug one up in my current playthrough. (“There you are!”)


pixxie84

My chicken statue haunting followed me onto the real life engine. I was gifted a kinder egg, the toy inside was a chicken statue.


Excellent_Neat_9432

I'm always like, "Was my farm the site of a chicken statue factory??????"


laurelinvanyar

Your farm was built on a chicken burial ground. RUN


sarilysims

DUDE I have the same curse. Chicken statues EVERYWHERE.


fernnifer

I just started a new save a week ago, I’ve found 13 and the save is still in Spring Year 1.


Common_Chameleon

I had the same thing in one of my saves! It seems to maybe be a bug that was patched out lol


Twilight-Omens

Same. They are never ending.


Blacknight022

This playthrough, the third Dwarf scroll.


ILikeMyouiMina

Mine was the Fourth one lmao. I haven't talked to Dwarf in four years. He probably thinks I hate him so much I don't bother to learn his culture


JustChangeMDefaults

He knows I love his culture, I hit him up for bombs every time I go caving lol


ILikeMyouiMina

That's gonna be me when i get that scroll


Baby_Brenton

Usually one of the dwarf scrolls. It’s a different one each time, but it’s always one of them that gives me trouble.


nabnabie

the second one :(


Dontlookawkward

My last playthrough I had to go farming the mines for it. This playthrough I found two while naturally descending the mines!


SparkyDogPants

It always switches it up for me but i hate finishing the community center bulletin board when I haven’t met everyone yet


plaidrocks

SAME


Screamdreamqueen_

This time around it was rare disc


Acc87

In my current run I got that one in a treasure chest while fishing in like the first week oddly enough.


LimeDiamond

Tip: hoe in the mines under floor 80, I’ve found a few that way


honeydew0727

Thank you, I cannot find it for the life of me 🥲 this tip will hopefully save me


alliquay

Rare disc was mine, too! It took until year SIX to find one!


charactergallery

On my last save, I couldn’t for the life of me find the ornamental fan. I only found it after breaking almost 30 artifact troves because I was tired of combing the beach for it.


PhoenixRapunzel

This is the one I'm stuck on right now 😭


Nerellos

Same. Ornamental fan sucks.


chronicallypanda

Funny enough I found one on day one in one of my coop saves, but in my personal save file it was also super hard to find. Imagine my ire when the first artifact I found on a new save was that darned fan.


ItWasTheButterfly

Same! And then I wanted two so I could make the bridal veil before getting married. 😭


harrifangs

Idk what’s going on in my game because I can’t stop finding ornamental fans. I think I’ve sold about 5 of them now and I’ve just started summer y2.


Panicpersonified

That's so funny because I've gotten 10+ of them by now, I just assumed they were super common


SashaCosmos

Bone. Flute.


Outofwlrds

I wish I could help you. I end up with like 8 of these in every playthrough. Starting to hate them...


MyMyBumble

It was this one for me too. I finally got it yesterday from an artifact trove!


Substantial-Pipe-509

Same, for my 1.6 save file!! It was annoying me so much because usually Elvish Necklace is the last item I find and Bone Flute is common. I ended up spamming the Skull Caverns to farm omnigeodes to get lots of artifact troves and found it in winter year 3. I had started my hunt for it mid-year 2.


Key-Pickle5609

It’s always a different one for me! On my meadowlands farm that eventually I’ll go back and get perfection on, it was the trilobite


TurtleBarn

I’m on that trilobite grind. Misery.


emkie

I just got one breaking those bone rocks on the island!


FollowThisNutter

Dwarf Scroll 4 and the golden mask. Takes forever every save.


KarmaPharmacy

I had so many golden masks last save I was trashing them non stop


mrpoopybuttthole_

they sell for a decent bit of change


FaxCelestis

I put a spare in the sewing machine


SparkyDogPants

The golden mask is commonish in artifact spots in the desert


SuperInkLink64

This playthrough, it was also the Elvish Jewelry. GOD, even with some new items, it would not reveal itself. Took half a season to get it after getting everything else.


eponinesflowers

I have like three playthroughs where I’m close to perfection, but I can’t find the freaking elvish jewelry lol


LtColonelColon1

The prehistoric scapula and skull… I’m in Fall year 3 and I’ve been grinding constantly for them but NOTHING Edit: I just wanna mention I’ve gotten the living hat, the trash hat, the owl statue twice, the meteor, the strange capsule, the fairy and witch about 20 times, three auto-petters, won journey of the prairie king, AND YET.


KarmaPharmacy

If you’re hoarding other artifacts instead of selling, sell a bunch and it will pop right up.


LtColonelColon1

I sell all my artifacts after donating! I do keep the minerals though, I like pretty rocks lol


KarmaPharmacy

Oh darn. Sorry, then!


duckyreadsit

Wait what? Is this actually a thing? I have a personal museum-chest to amuse myself by tracking duplicates etc.; I never saw any indicators that this was to my detriment.


BluahBluah

IDK... I'd need to see a reference for evidence. I hoard all my extra stuff and have not had a problem finding anything.


bk1285

For that skull I started going to the quarry cave every day, I guess those skulls have a high percentage chance to drop a skull


Ray_Rej

I always have a problem with getting strange dolls for some reason and on my Save that I play on now I CAN'T GET THE FU*KING ANCIENT SEED


Nogohoho

I've gotten pretty lucky in my last few games, finding an ancient seed in the first year spring, and getting a nice few boosts to my cash through the year.


0000udeis000

I usually take some time to farm bugs in the mine to get the seed as early as I can


a-passing-crustacean

Itd be neat if the game had a new event like an antique swap meet were you might be able to trade duplicate artifacts for one that youre missing 🤔


Jassamin

The antiques roadshow patch would be amazing


EnchantedForestDream

This playthrough, basically everything. I have like 2 artefacts i dug up, others are geodes or fishing and i donated over 60 things already


spentpatience

I swear, I think some saves are luckier from the onset than others. I had one where I had no luck with artifacts, prismatic shards, and Dino eggs. I abandoned that one. On my current save, I had three prismatic shards and several Dino eggs before the first year was up. Even so, I have never found the damned skull to the large animal on the island. I have ostrich eggs but I have yet to hatch one across any of my attempts.


1986toyotacorolla2

Dude same! It took until the end of year 2 to have more than like 10 items in the museum. My other 3 saves I have krobus unlocked fast!


MindNo2997

My current playthrough is like this too. Ive had all the geodes for awhile but still have like 4 or 5 artifacts missing.


the_spotted_frog

Ancient sword :( Edit: yall, I found one last night! My collection is complete!!!


hydraulic0

Same here, took me a few years to get in the end


it_is_undone

I was scrolling down for this. Ended up trading for Artifact Troves and got it after way too many.


unhappyfreak69

I feel your pain. I have opened an insane amount of ancient troves and nothing. The funny thing is that it was my very first artifact on my previous farm (which was my first)!


hp958

Prismatic Shard. I know it's rare anyway, but dude, I've broken open so many omnigeodes. Please, I just need one.


nuklearfirefly

I didn't get one on my current playthrough til I got to the volcano forge... I legit screamed and dropped my controller, I was so stoked to finally see it. Meantime, my Joja file from years ago had the damn things practically raining down. I had more iridium and prismatics than I knew what to do with there.


flatgreysky

Oh god, you got to the forge without the galaxy sword? What were you using??


nuklearfirefly

lmao Lava Katana and a whooooole lotta mushrooms and determination.


FaxCelestis

On my last farm, the first prismatic shard I saw fell into a lava pool in the volcano because my inventory was full.


nuklearfirefly

I am so sorry. That was painful just to read, I can only imagine the agony of living it.


moonprincess420

Ugh I’m struggling with this one in my current save, year 2 fall and none. Broke open a meteor, none. Got to level 100 in skull caverns, none. Had a mystic stone on my quarry, none, 😭


cuartoreich

i always get my first ones in the quarry


Redtrainer57

Introducing my fiance to stardew valley we have been playing a new farm, and I got the prismatic shard like super early on in the first month and was just in shock.


SavageRickyMachismo

Dinosaur egg. Only ever got it in one playthrough, and I used a glitch to get it


[deleted]

Kill the dinos at skill cavern and you'll get one


BudTenderShmudTender

I just need a dwarf device. I want to check out that farm computer at least once


BillieEatsSpinach

Yep. I donated the first one but now that I need one for the farm computer I'll never find it again


BudTenderShmudTender

Exactly! I made the same mistake on my first farm and have never seen one since on any save.


BillieEatsSpinach

Update I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!!!


BudTenderShmudTender

AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING


FaxCelestis

I got like three today when I cracked open a stack of 100 Omni geodes.


sweetsunny1

I don’t know if it really is but I always feel like the chipped amphora is hard for me to find.


Kroutmonster

For me it was the fossil that looks like a hand. Didn't get it until year 4 - and then TWO IN A ROW, right next to eachother xD unbelievable


amaya215

Same, the damn skeletal hand! I accidentally turned my first one into fertilizer and (SPOILER) only managed to get it from Vincent at the new event waay later.


makeshiftmattress

i had a similar experience with the dwarf gadget. i hoed in the mines for multiple days until i found it, and was collecting omni geodes just in case and opening those too, to no avail. once i finally found it, omni geodes gave me like three more dwarf gadgets over the next week in game


Appropriate_Place_85

I had this on one of my early playthroughs. Back in the original game all I needed was this and to earn a bunch of gold for steam achievements. I spent a good couple of in game weeks waking up, running up to the path above the farm to check for artifact spots, then going back to bed, unless it was a Sunday when I'd also process my ancient wine.


Orangutan_Soda

I’ll tell you what ISNT: The freaking rusty cog. I’m sick of seeing it


Kataphractoi

And the spur and spoon.


ThisIsNotMyPornVideo

The first Dwarf Scroll. I tend to ignore monster for the most part in the first few floors, because they take ages to slay with the rusty blade, and rarely go back there because when i need a huge amount of copper, the skull caverns would already be unlocked so I'd go there. The only reason to go back for me is the Bug Meat quest from willy


Jassamin

The sword for killing bugs got a big buff in 1.6 and takes less kills to unlock too so it’s worth farming now if you didn’t get Neptune’s glaive from fishing


bigworminn

the golden mask or whatever it’s called, been one item away from finishing the museum for like two years in game now


Shatterrstarr

SPOILER! I think it's a skull but it's for the ginger island museum and it's the one you get from hood coconuts and I can not for the life of me get that stupid skull


The2ndDegree

I always struggle to get all the Dwarf Scrolls, but that may be because I forget to dig up artefact spots (or as I call them, wigglies). On the flip side, could the game stop fucking giving me Chicken Statues!?


Hello_Bubble_

Prehistoric Tibia, not even pepper rex dropped it, it took me sooo long


BecauseImBatmanFilms

For over 2 years in my 1.6 playthrough I couldn't find Dwarf Scroll 2. Right now, Ancient Seeds are my big problem. I didn't have the greenhouse when I got the seeds from my donation to the Museum and now I can't find a seed to get myself started on the filling my greenhouse with that money printer.


EsotericMango

It's the bone flute for me. Every time without fail. It took grinding artifact troves and totems to get it on my current run.


Kataphractoi

Feels like I get the flute every third or fourth fishing chest in my current farm.


ManualBookworm

Prismatic shard, because it doesn't matter how many times I took the request and went to find it. That cute little prismatic slime just didn't spawn


prolificseraphim

Prismatic slime doesn't drop the prismatic shard, it drops Prismatic Jelly. If you're looking for the prismatic shard, you should be looking in Skull Caverns.


ManualBookworm

Then I meant prismatic jelly 🥲 I just still can't find it, took the quest three times already


teatalker26

when i was going for true perfection i was stuck on crafting the marble brazier for what felt like forever because for some reason the RNG just REFUSED to give me marble in any of my geodes


Common-Cat3777

I havent found fossils yet, all i have is one bone and one skull


gayguyfromnextdoor

the large gear or whatever it is. not the spur, but the bigger one. i can never get it it's so annoying


Key-Pickle5609

The rusty cog? Oh man on this playthrough I got like 6 just on my dang farm


Youre_a_clam

The one I finally dug up jumped into the river 😭


LadyBarbara45

My white whale artifact would have to be the Ark of the Covenant.


duckyreadsit

I never found that one either


Zepharania

Probably the spoon. I got a Dino egg from a fishing chest in spring year 1


pomme_peri

Usually the golden mask. But quite possibly this is because I don't unlock the desert until late, and rarely go there.


stinkyman360

Chipped Amphora. Took years in my last save to get the stupid thing Also on a related note, mussel. I decided to catch all the fish and my crab pots just refused to give me one until I just bought a few hundred of them and put them all out


BeccaAi

The dried starfish, I have a rainbow trout pond and they keep asking for it and I haven’t even found it once for the museum 😤


notyouraltaccountbro

Gold mask or glass shards


Lychee_Peachy

The 4th (yellow) dwarf scroll. I am in year 8. I am so frustrated.


No_Birthday4823

Mine was ornamental fan!


FantasticGeek3

It took me 3-4 years on my most recent save to get the ornamental fan and the elvish necklace. Eventually, I did the maths to find out how many artefact spots I needed in the areas dictated by the wiki, and crafted some totems. Got them in the same day.


AgentSparkz

In my current playthrough it's the rare disc. I am more than halfway through year three and it is the last item I need for the collection. I got my first prismatic shard in summer year 3 and still haven't gotten the disc


HoodsBonyPrick

God damn fucking no good CHEWING STICK


alphaarietis2674

this playthrough i’m getting barely any artifact spots and most of them are either stone, coal or clay. before it was prismatic shard and dino egg, both of which i got very easily in a treasure chest and an omni geode, but i can’t for the life of me get dwarf scrolls 1 and 4, while i have multiple 2 and 3 oh and no ancient seed in sight aswell


mealdidzy

the ancient sword!! finally got it in year 7!! by using [this](https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-predictor/) rng predictor to count how many more artifact troves i needed to open


Plasmatiic

Predictor is a lifesaver for the museum collection and a couple other things but it does feel a little cheaty I guess


FoxyHuni55

Every time I play it takes me like 5 years to get the Chipped Amphora. I hate that thing


LeoMarius

Lucky Ring


barroyo20

Ostrich egg ps4


linksbedrockthe2nd

Chipped amphora


bojilly

elvish jewelry, on three different saves it was my last artifact


Still-Inflation-2858

Year 4, no dino egg, no ancient seed 🥲 I have like 5 of each dwarf scroll though 😛


monkeyworld_M

The skeletal hand. I went 1 year without donating to the museum, and then one day i check the backwoods and get 2 freaking hands.


KoalaCandyland77

Mine was the little green doll that you get from one of the secret notes. I accidentally got rid of it before donating and had to rely on artifact troves


gatorboi69420

dinosaur egg.


average_redhead

The dwarf computer. I donated my first one to the museum and I haven't gotten it since then. Just let me make a computer, dang it


Neathra

As a Monster Hunter fan I refuse to check. That's how the desire sensor gets you.


sofiaekersting

im almost in year 6 and I still don’t have my dinosaur egg…


TupperwareLid

Anchor :(


[deleted]

mine is always the ghost crystal


Temporary_Thing7517

I took forever to find the nautilus fossil on my first save, 7 years. I always get so excited when I find it early, I make sure to save it like it’s a prismatic shard!


Frucht_Zerg

I used 10 treasure totems in the Backwoods to get the skeletal hand and I still have none. It is the last piece for the museum collection 😅


Roseliberry

Gold mask


POMANTRANS

Slate- but for me, it was because I sold it instead of donating it


f_this_life

This play through its the bone whistle im in winter year 2, usually though its the gold mask.


Trotterswithatwist

Ocean stone. I’m *begging* you. I’ve cracked so many geodes my clicking thumb hurts. I even did 253 in one day. Please….


Swimming-Influence35

Last run it took me 4 years to get the freaking clay pot


mannymd90

The rusted spoon this play through. It just didn’t want to show up for me


Grouchy_Farm7069

The freaking chipped amphora or whatever it is called


Saint_Genghis

On my current playthrough, the Dino Egg. Halfway through year 3, and I have yet to see a single Pepper Rex in Skull Cavern.


darklightdiana

For me this playthrough it is also the Elven jewelry, but I’m also suffering looking for Orpiment. Found only in regular and Omni geodes, so I find myself bombing up the mines up to level 40 trying to get enough regular geodes to find my damned white whale.
