How to Get the Butternut Squash Seed

You can only get the Butternut Squash Seed during the Cooking Event by interacting with the Rat Connoisseur. Here’s how:
- Acquire Mutated Food – The Rat Connoisseur only accepts food made from mutated crops. You can get these mutations through pets, weather events, mutation sprays, or Kitchen Storm rewards.
- Cook the Food – Use the Cooking Cauldron to prepare a mutated dish.
- Give it to the Rat Connoisseur – This NPC will offer you a menu of three items from its drop pool in exchange for your mutated food.
- Check for the Seed – The Butternut Squash Seed has an 8% drop chance from the Culinarian Chest, which itself has a 40% chance to appear as one of the Rat Connoisseur’s choices.
- Repeat as Needed – Since it’s not a guaranteed drop, you may need multiple attempts.
Why It’s Worth Farming
- Multi-harvest crop – keeps producing without replanting.
- Good value – with an average sale price of 35,000.
- Event exclusive – not obtainable after the Cooking Event ends, so it’s worth stocking up.
