Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Golden mutation do in Grow a Garden?
The Golden mutation multiplies the base value of any pet or crop by 20x. A Golden item is worth 20 times more than the same item without a mutation.
How rare is the Golden mutation?
The Golden mutation is the most common of the three mutations, though still quite rare. Community reports suggest it appears roughly once in every several hundred hatches or harvests.
How do I get the Golden mutation?
Golden mutations can occur randomly when hatching eggs or harvesting crops. The exact probability is not officially documented. Mutation potions, which can be crafted or obtained from events, may allow intentional mutation application — though these potions are themselves highly valuable.
Do mutation multipliers stack?
Yes — certain mutation combinations stack multiplicatively. For example, a Wet Shocked Rainbow crop can be worth up to 5,000x its base value. The Dragonfly and Butterfly pets can generate mutation stacks that reach billions of Sheckles on high-rarity crops.
