If you complete enough requests, then all the seeds will eventually be available in stores. IIRC the golden turnip seeds become available as a reward for the request to harvest golden turnip, and Arthur will provide you with a bag of seeds to complete that request. But until you've unlocked them I don't know of any other way to get the seeds but from ghosts.

Okay, thank you very much! I'll just keep on trucking along then. I have to make Turnip Heaven, apparently, but have no Gold Turnip Seeds available. I'll work around that request. Thanks!

I don't suppose there's an easy method for getting Mealy Apple?
beside clover, rare can, and happy ring...

Accept the quest "Make Turnip Heaven" and a Gold Turnip Seed will be provided, no need to go through the trouble and massacre the Turnip Ghost's happiness.

Super helpful list! Lots of things I didn't have that I could get right away.

Rune Crystal - These don't have to be mined from the autumn area. I got my two from rune ores in caves.

So does Light Ore just change the weapon's affiliation to that of Light? Or is there more?

I finally figured that out, LOL. Thanks!

While that's true, there's a large number of rune crystals in a specific screen of the autumn area.

One thing I want to point out is the Strong Vines, which I got them in the Maya Road with the Flower Blossom.

Thanks for this post. It helped me out a lot. :3

I can confirm this. I've gotten Rune Crystals from Idra Cave and Maya Road, 2 places I farmed for other reasons (for the record, Idra Cave has a decent number of rune rocks, it's not a bad place to sweep if you're farming for Rune Crystals; Maya Road is fine, but better if you also need minerals/jewels/grass).

A couple other notes:
-- Amethyst can also be mined in the Summer Field, the screen just outside the Summer Field, and Maya Road. Sapphire can also be mined in Maya Road. All Core-dropping fairies can be found in Sharance Maze as well as in plant dungeons.
-- Small Crystals, Big Crystals, and Light Ore can be mined from any ore node, anywhere, once your Mining Skill is high enough (your hammer matters, too, but I don't know to what extent). I've even gotten Small Crystals from ore nodes that have popped up in my field. The only pattern I've noticed is that Light Ore seems to come from jewel-dropping nodes and the crystals seem to come from mineral-dropping nodes, but I haven't been paying close enough attention to that to say that's a sure thing.
-- Fur (S) can be clipped off wild Woolies at any time.
-- Once shipped, Grasses can be bought from the clinic, general store, and flower shop. You'll also find a bunch of different kinds on Maya Road. White Grass is hardest to find in the wild, as it doesn't seem to grow in Revival Cave or Maya Road. Sechs only, and your fields in winter.
-- It seems there's a chance that the Monarch Mushroom can be generated as a lootable "hidden item". More details over here (start at the bottom post).

I found 4 so far in Spring areas. Save before you head to mining though, it's not a common material.
Mine spots I found are in Spring field, Sercerzo Lake, and in front of Idra Cave.

Thank you so much! I'll check them out! I think my level is finally high enough - I just got one while mining in Rune Prana. Now to find more.

Where do I find small crystals btw?

They're randomly minable once your mining level is high enough, and it's been mentioned that they seem to appear more in mineral stones that produce things like bronze or silver than in ones that give you gems. Once you get good enough at mining, they're actually kind of common.

Good to know, thank you!! How high does my mining level have to be? I'll keep pounding away at mineral stones :)
