Whether you’re looking to woo Sebastian or want to craft a certain ring, you’ll need Frozen Tears in Stardew Valley. There’s a few ways to get them, but sadly few of them are guaranteed. You’ll likely find a Frozen Tear laying on the floor💙 when traversing the mines, between floors 40 and 79. Additionally, if you have the Statue of Endless Fortune, it’s guaranteed to give you a Frozen Tear once per year on Winter 10, in honor of Sebastian’s birthday. 

Here are the other ways you can get a Frozen Tear in Stardew Valley:

  • Slaying Dust Sprites within the Mines
  • In containers between floors 40 and 79 of the Mines, if you’ve previously reached the bottom
  • Inside Frozen Geodes
  • Inside Omni Geodes
  • Inside Fishing Treasure Chests
  • In garbage cans after you’ve reached the bottom of the Mines
  • An Ice Pip Fish Pond may produce 5 Frozen Tears after the population has reached 9
  • The Wizard can send you a Frozen Tear through the mail

Frozen Tears aren’t worth the most, but they do sell for between 75 Gold and 97 Gold (depending on whether you chose the Gemologist profession when you hit level 5 in Mining). Other than that, there are a few different ways to use Frozen Tears in Stardew Valley, so you might need to stock up o✅n them as yoඣu find them to do everything possible.

Gifting a Frozen Tear

Frozen Tears are on the list of Sebastian’s loved gifts, but most villagers like to receive them.  Only the following three Villagers dislike rec♒eiving a Frozen Tear as a gift:

  • Leah
  • Linus
  • Pierre

Bundles using a Frozen Tear

One Frozen Tear is required as part of the Geologist’s Bundle in the Boiler🦹 Room as part of the Community Center.

Quests requiring Frozen Tears

Occasionally, a Frozen Tear can be requested by someone on the ‘Help Wanted’ Board outside Pierre’s General Store, but the main quests involving Frozen Tears are Fish Pond Related.

  • To increase the capacity of a Blobfish Pond from one to three, 2 Frozen Tears may be requested
  • To increase the capacity of an Ice Pip Pond from three to five, 5 Frozen Tears may be requested

Crafting with a Frozen Tear

Frozen Tears are required to craft the Wa🧔rrior Ring, which occasionally infuses the wearer with “warrior energy” after successfully slaying a monste💮r. To make this, you’ll need:

  • 10 Iron Bars
  • 25 Coal
  • 10 Frozen Tears

Tailoring with Frozen Tears

A Frozen Tear can be used in the spool of a Sewing Machine to create a Dark Jacket, or otherwise works as a cyan dye when a dyeable item is placed within the feed of the Sewing Machine. It works as the same color dye when🐬 placed into the Dye Pots in Emil💯y and Haley’s house.
