Hollow Bamboo seed—a rare, multi-harvest plant that functions as a major profit generator. Unlike standard Bamboo, this upgraded version can only be crafted, making it an essential long-term investment for anyone aiming to maximize their Sheckles income.

How to Get the Hollow Bamboo Seed

The Hollow Bamboo seed is exclusive to the Smithing Event and must be crafted at the new Seed Crafting Station. It is not available in the regular seed shop.

1. Find the Seed Crafting Station

You’ll find the event crafting stations in the lobby or garden hub, surrounding the central furnace where players submit items for Coal.

  • Look for the station labeled “Craft Seeds.”
  • Interact with it (typically by pressing E).

2. Collect All Required Ingredients

Crafting Hollow Bamboo requires several rare materials—including Coal variants introduced in this event.

  • Rare Coal (x1)

Earned by submitting Rare fruits, pets, or gear into the furnace.

  • Legendary Coal (x1)

Obtained by submitting Legendary fruits, pets, or gear into the furnace.

  • Bamboo (Fruit) (x1)

Harvested from a standard Bamboo Seed.

  • Cactus Seed (x1)

Purchased directly from the Seed Shop.

  • Sheckles (1,500,000)

Collected through regular farming and selling harvested crops.

3. Start Crafting the Seed

Once all materials are ready:

  • Select the Hollow Bamboo recipe at the Seed Crafting Station.
  • Submit every ingredient plus the 1.5 million Sheckles.
  • The crafting timer is 45 minutes—return after it finishes to claim your permanent Hollow Bamboo Seed!

Why Hollow Bamboo Is a Must-Have Seed

For serious Grow a Garden farmers, Hollow Bamboo offers huge long-term value:

Multi-Harvest Efficiency

Like Yarrow and Olive, Hollow Bamboo regrows after each harvest. You never have to replant it, making it one of the most efficient seeds in the game.

High Profit Yield

Classified as a high-tier money maker, it shines especially when paired with mutations from pets, weather effects, or other farming boosts.

Aesthetic + Practical

Fast-growing and visually unique, Hollow Bamboo adds charm to your farm while supporting strong crop rotations. It may even interact with specific tools or pets for bonus effects.

Pro Tips for Fast Coal Farming

Rare and Legendary Coal are the biggest hurdles in the Hollow Bamboo recipe. To speed up your progress during the Smithing Event:

Strategic Submissions

Only submit Rare, Legendary, or Divine items when you actively need that specific Coal type—avoid wasting valuable resources.

Daily Digging Mini-Game

Always complete the Daily Digging task in the green shop menu. It rewards Coal boxes and has a chance to grant Divine Coal, which is used to unlock the top-tier Yarrow seed.

Upgrade Your Tools

If you want to speed up both harvesting and Coal farming, craft the Smith Hammer of Harvest. Its radius-based harvesting effect greatly increases farming efficiency.
