Expert’s Complete Guide to the Grow A Garden HALLOWEEN UPDATE
We're providing you with the ultimate Grow A Garden HALLOWEEN UPDATE complete guide for newest seasonal update. The following guide is meant to be the only one you'll need, detailing all of the new seeds that were introduced, the complete list of pets, and all the new additions included in this huge event. Should any section of this update in Grow A Garden be unclear, utilize this detailed walkthrough to navigate through each challenge and reward, start to finish.
Getting Acquainted with the New Currency and Community Quests
The start of the Halloween event is all about an entirely new currency and a community quest that is required.
Candy Corn Currency and the Witch's Cauldron
Once inside the event area, your first order of business should be to speak with the Witch NPC.
The Witch's Quest: The Witch will request that you bring her various plants (or "claws," in keeping with the Halloween spirit) to fill up her cauldron.
The Reward System: Completing the cauldron rewards the player with Candy Corn and Spooky Eggs. Candy Corn is the new limited-time currency that must be farmed for use in the special event shops.
Community Effort: It is a community event; contributions from all of the players in a server move the progress bar along. The cauldron refills every two minutes, allowing for constant farming.
Seasonal Shops and Limited-Time Spawns
Some of the standouts in Grow A Garden HALLOWEEN UPDATE include the presence of seasonal shops with temporary availability depending on special timers:
Halloween Market: This seasonal shop becomes visible when game time reaches an "hour" threshold (e.g., 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, etc.). At this shop, players spend their earned Candy Corn on exclusive pets and cosmetics.
Jack-O-Lantern Event: This event NPC (or NPC) appears roughly every hour and a half. Players can hand in plants to him. If the plant is an acceptable Halloween-only crop, the Jack-O-Lantern will reward a "treat" (generally Candy Corn and Spooky Eggs). Handing in the wrong or "bad" plant can result in a "trick" (a harmless jump scare).
Ultimate Guide to New Halloween Pets
The Grow A Garden HALLOWEEN UPDATE full pets guide is complex, as the shop features several pets with unique, powerful abilities.
Spooky Egg Pets (Pumpkin Rat, Bat, Spider): These are less useful, typically granting small boosts (e.g., the Bat gives a slight spooky boost). The Spider is an exception, as its web ability can grant cooldown and growth speed boost to plants in its vicinity.
The Black Cat (Moon Cat Replacement): This is the utility high-level pet of the event. Not as good as the original Orange Tabby or Moon Cat, but a very nice substitute. It will sleep next to the Witch's Cauldron and provide a passive bonus, causing new fruits within a 10-stud radius to be 1.11 times larger.
The Wolf: This pet is unique. It has a 15% chance every four minutes to apply the Moonlit Mutation to nearby roots and transform into a Werewolf for 35 seconds, granting movement speed and jump height increase.
The Headless Horseman: The Elite Transcendent Pet (0.05% Chance)
The rarest pet to receive from the Spooky Egg is the Headless Horseman.
Ability: Every 30 minutes, it randomly selects a Level 50+ plant (mutation-free) and resets it to Level 1. Notably, it then introduces one of the four new, high-level Chaotic Mutations:
Dreadbound
So Flames
Spectral
A 7.77% chance for the Nightmare Mutation, which is rare
New Seeds and Exclusive Mutations
The patch introduces several new seeds, most of which are single-harvest for the event, along with the first transcendent seed in the game.
Event Seeds and Values (Test Server Estimates)
Although final costs are liable to fluctuate in the live Grow A Garden HALLOWEEN UPDATE, current test values demonstrate impressive yield:
The Great Pumpkin: Transcendent Power
The last seed sown in this patch is the Great Pumpkin Seed, the latest limited-edition Transcendent Seed.
Growth Requirement: This plant requires over an hour to mature, so it is a serious time investment.
Transcendent Ability: The fully grown Great Pumpkin has a chance to randomly mutate one of your garden plants with the Ghostly Mutation every five minutes.
Ghostly Mutation Value: Ghostly Mutation is extremely potent. Test server statistics show that it's able to provide an enormous multiplier (potentially x30 to x40), with a single plant selling for over 2 million Shekels. This makes the Great Pumpkin an excellent investment for players seeking optimum yield during the brief time-limited event.
The Grow A Garden HALLOWEEN UPDATE also includes the Full Moon weather event, which brings a slight possibility of the potent Blood Lit Mutation, ensuring that every element of the game world is backing up the Halloween theme.
