  Global Safari Points

  This update introduces a Global Safari Points, replacing the previous mechanism of single-server or limited seeds.

  Safari Joyce will request a specific type of plant every hour, such as woody plants, flower plants, fruits, etc., and these requests will rotate.

  Players can open the in-game guide, search for the corresponding type under Plants category to find plants that meet the requirements and submit them. After submitting plants, players will receive two types of rewards: personal rewards and global rewards.

  Global Rewards

  Global Rewards are essentially milestone rewards for all players on the server. After accumulating a certain number of points, the rewards are distributed to all players.

  Every 41 minutes, it performs one of the following actions: increases its age by 1 year, immediately hatches an egg, or applies Terrain Mutation to fruit. When selling fruit with Terrain Mutation, there is a 6.2% chance that a random mutation of that fruit will be applied to another fruit in the garden.

  Pets In Safari Eggs

  Orspecker

  When a Safari Type Pet completes its ability, its cooldown is reduced by 14 seconds.

  Zebra

  Giraffe (Legendary)

  Every 15 minutes, it eats a fruit with a height of at least 10 Studs and sells it for 1.53 times the price, while also advancing the growth time of the plant containing that fruit by 1 hour and 7 minutes and applying Arid Mutation to other fruits on that plant.

  Rhino (Mythical)

  Every 15 minutes, it rams into a random egg or fruit. The rammed egg's hatching time is reduced, and the rammed fruit gains Mirage Mutation.

  System Improvements

  The pet shop interface has been simplified, and much of the dialogue has been removed. A clearer pet selling interface has been added, allowing players to select individual pets to sell. The previous Digging Quest, Spooky Chest, and Twilight Pack remain, and Forever Pack has returned.

  Grow A Garden Safari Harvest adds many new pets and seeds, but to get good rewards, you'll need to take a lot of time on Safari Harvest event.

• Grow A Garden Pets Guide | How To Obtain, Prioritize, And Level Up Your Pets For Maximum Efficiency?

  Whether managing a garden in real life or a game, while flowers and trees are beautiful, they often lack a more vibrant, outward life. Introducing small animals to your garden can effectively solve this problem!

  For example, in the farm-themed idle game Grow A Garden, while the main gameplay involves planting new crops and selling them to earn Sheckles, which can then be exchanged for more and rarer seeds, raising pets is equally important.

  These uniquely designed creatures not only provide companionship in a game lacking social features, but more importantly, each one possesses unique buffs that can improve your planting efficiency.

  Below, we will explain the specific mechanics of Grow A Garden pet system in detail and list the pets at different levels that are worth prioritizing.

  

  The Specific Role Of Pets

  When you're planting in Grow A Garden, the main steps generally include acquiring seeds, using gear to complete or speed up planting, harvesting plants, and selling them. Pets can benefit you at each of these stages:

  • Generate seeds that can be collected for free
  • Provide usable gear or directly increase plant maturity speed/yield
  • Generate Sheckles for you to collect

  All pets in the game are divided into 7 rarity levels. The rarer the pet, the better the bonus, but the harder it is to obtain. Furthermore, not all pets have additional uses; some are simply part of the garden's "atmosphere."

  It's worth noting that pet bonuses are stackable. Therefore, we recommend placing pets with better synergistic effects within your limited pet slots to maximize the value of each slot.

  How To Obtain Pets?

  First, please note that the initial limit on the number of pets you can place in your garden is 60. If you want to place more, you need to earn more currency by completing tasks to unlock the limit of expansion.

  Currently, the primary way to acquire pets in the game is by farming and hatching pet eggs, and there are relatively many ways to obtain eggs (otherwise, it would be difficult to collect more pets!).

  Eggs are sold at Pet Eggs Shop and Traveling Merchants. You can sell your gained Grow A Garden items to earn currency, then exchange more eggs you need. However, only three random types of eggs are available for exchange each time.

  Additionally, during special game events, you can obtain limited-edition pet eggs by completing event quests or trading in the event-specific shop. For example, Ghoul Garden event, currently celebrating Halloween, is in full swing.

  There is also a special Anti-Bee Egg that can be obtained through crafting. To do this, you need to collect the relevant materials beforehand, then talk to Bizzy Bear to activate the crafting system and complete the crafting process.

  Crafting one Anti-Bee Egg requires 1 Bee Egg and 25 honey. In addition, Anti Bee Eggs can only randomly hatch the following 5 pets:

  • Wasp - 55%
  • Tarantula Hawk - 30%
  • Moth - 13.75%
  • Butterfly - 1%
  • Disco Bee - 0.25%

  How To Improve Your Pets' Abilities?

  After hatching, pets will gradually grow on their own; this is essentially their built-in leveling-up mechanism. However, to ensure they grow on time, you must feed them regularly - that is, provide them with XP.

  Generally, feeding pets once every 12 hours is sufficient. Available foods include treats like Lollipops or Maple Syrups. Furthermore, using toys to interact with pets, or placing pets with XP boosts in the garden, can accelerate the leveling of other pets.

  Pet Mutations

  Originally, Mutations mechanism only applied to plants, but after Pet Mutations Update added to the game this July, pets can also gain more or stronger boosts through Mutations.

  To mutate your pet, you first need to ensure it's 50 years old. Then, take it to Pet Mutations station near Pet Eggs stall and consume Sheckles to complete the mutation.

  Raising a pet to 50 years old requires a significant investment of upgrade materials, and mutations also require a large number of Sheckles. Therefore, you should carefully consider your options before attempting mutations to avoid waste.

  Currently, the following mutations can be triggered (probabilities vary):

  • Shiny Inverted
  • Windy
  • Frozen
  • Golden
  • Tiny
  • Mega
  • Tranquil
  • Corrupted
  • IronSkin
  • Radiant
  • Shocked
  • Rainbow
  • Ascended

  Which Pets Are Worth Prioritizing?

  As of now, Grow a Garden has over 100 pets. To maximize your plant cultivation efficiency at different levels, we've listed the following pets as priority acquisitions, ranked by rarity from lowest to highest, based on their value.

  Common Pets:

  • Crow
  • Pumpkin Rat

  New NPCs And Event Mechanics

  After speaking with Gravedigger, you can play Grave Dig mini-game. Each player has 10 shovels, which automatically recharge every 5 minutes.

• Grow A Garden Ascend Guide | How To Maximize Profits And Boost Your Garden Progress?

  As a popular idle management game, Grow a Garden, despite its simple mechanics, has captured the hearts of players with its unique charm.

  The gameplay essentially involves growing new crops and selling them for Sheckles, a currency that can be used to acquire more seeds. Capturing and raising pets also allows you to add various bonuses to your crop production, creating unique experiences.

  As you progress through GAG, you'll find your farm encountering Ascend. This mechanic acts as a comprehensive upgrade, helping you advance to higher levels and unlock more Grow a Garden seeds and pets.

  Below is a detailed explanation of Ascend mechanic and information about Ascend rewards.

  

  Overview Of Ascend Mechanic

  Once your progress in Grow a Garden reaches a certain threshold through your hard work, you can choose Ascend. This mechanic, also known as Rebirth, allows you to restart at a higher level while retaining your previous rewards.

  Gameplay-wise, Ascend resets your garden and game progress, retaining any unlocked pets or seeds. Although everything starts from scratch after Ascending, your plants will grow faster, and you'll unlock more advanced abilities.

  When Should You Ascend?

  Despite the numerous benefits, we don't recommend ascending too early. Instead, choose the right time. This will maximize your Ascending gains while also avoiding potential losses.

  When Hitting A Plateau

  While Grow a Garden's simple gameplay is beneficial, one downside is that after a while, you can easily find yourself lacking more ways to progress, and even lose interest in the game.

  If you meet the requirements, you can Ascend immediately. This will reset your progress, allowing you to plant new seeds and mature them faster, earning enough Sheckles to begin a new journey in a new stage.

  From there, you'll be able to explore new farming and pet taming strategies through new challenges, find your own way to break through the barrier, and finally overcome the frustrations of plateauing.

  After Unlocking Advanced Features Or Achievements

  If you've unlocked more special tools, plants, or areas by progressing through the game, or have unlocked milestone achievements by completing special tasks, it's time to Ascend!

  This way, you can immediately start rapidly progressing with the newly unlocked features and seeds in your reset garden, completing more new tasks in a shorter period.

  How To Ascend?

  After understanding the optimal time to Ascend, you need to know how to Ascend. This isn't a simple click; it requires completing the corresponding tasks.

  1. Reach The Required Level

  Whether you think you need to Ascend or not, you must diligently play Grow a Garden to level up your account or garden. Once you reach a certain level, you can begin Ascending based on the features you've unlocked.

  2. Complete The Tasks In Your Current Stage

  Completing different types of tasks in GAG unlocks achievements and rewards. However, if you Ascend before completing all currently available tasks, those tasks will become invalid, and you will lose the opportunity to earn the associated rewards.

  While this isn't a prerequisite for Ascend, we still recommend reviewing your quest list before Ascend to ensure it's all complete.

  3. Stock Up On Sufficient Currency And Resources

  Once you've confirmed your eligibility for Ascend, you'll need to consume a certain amount of currency or other materials to complete the Ascend.

  Starting farming at this point will delay your progress, so it's best to stock up based on the requirements for the next Ascend level in advance.

  4. Understand Your Inventory Before And After Ascend

  After completing all Ascend requirements, use Ascend menu to see which plants, items, or abilities you've unlocked, as well as the rewards and benefits you'll receive. This will help you continue developing your garden in the next stage more smoothly.

  Specific Benefits Of Ascend

  We've actually mentioned this a bit in other contexts. In general, Ascend resets your garden to a new stage, unlocking new features, plants, seeds, and pet types corresponding to that stage.

  Crucially, each Ascend unlocks new content permanently, so the more you complete it, the more diverse the gameplay and items you can earn in Grow a Garden.

  Furthermore, the more Ascends you complete, the faster your plants grow, and the more XP you earn. This means you can complete the plant-to-sell cycle faster and level up faster.

  How To Maximize Your Profits Based On Ascend?

  To achieve this, complete all current tasks before the rest, then follow our recommendations to find the best time to complete Ascend with a sufficient inventory.

  Then, immediately utilize your existing inventory and the newly unlocked features to rebuild your garden, progressing to new stages and quickly meeting the requirements for the next Ascend.

  While rebuilding your garden, it's best to consume as many Sheckles as possible to exchange for rare seeds. The plants they grow into can be sold for a substantial profit.

  If possible, we recommend exploring a general garden rebuild plan after your first or second Ascend. This way, you can get started right away after completing a new Ascend without wasting time on additional exploration!

  While the above primarily introduces Ascend mechanics, it can also provide valuable insights for faster progress and profit in Grow a Garden. We wish you success in building your dream luxurious garden!
