There are a few ways to get the Corrupt mutation in Grow a Garden, including the newly introduced Corrupted Aura weather event and a few pets. So, here are the best ways to get the Corrupt mutation in the game:

1. Corrupted Aura Event

The Corrupt mutation can be obtained during the Corrupted Aura weather event in Grow a Garden. This event takes place every hour and lasts for 10 minutes. So, buckle up with the best plants in your garden to get this mutation on most of your plants.

2. Grow Corrupt Tree

Hold a crop with Tranquil mutation and the required weight, and give it to the Corrupt Channeller NPC. This will grant you Corruption points and grow the corrupted tree. Every hour, the points and the tree will reset, transferring the points as Corrupt mutation to random fruits in your garden.

3. Corrupted Staff and Mutation Spray

From leveling up the corrupted tree, you will get random rewards, including the Corrupted staff and Corrupted mutation spray. The staff works similarly to the Star Caller staff. Which means, when the Corrupted Aura event runs, plants in its radius get the Corrupt mutation.

While the effects of the staff are random, you can get a guaranteed mutation on a specific plant with the Corrupt Mutation Spray. Equip it in hand and click on the crop of your choice to apply it.

4. Corrupt Pet Mutation

Like the Tranquil Pet Mutation Shard, there is now a Corrupted Pet Shard available in the Zen Shop. You can purchase the shard from the Zen shop using Chi points and use it on a pet to give them the Corrupt Pet mutation.

Those pets gain another passive ability to apply the Corrupt mutation on your garden’s harvests at regular intervals.

The Corrupt mutation gives your fruits a red thunderous aura and some particles surrounding it. You can easily find it through the distinguishable aura and red effects. The Corrupt mutation boosts the sale value of your fruits by 25 times, hence some easy cash farming when you’re done with the Corrupted event.

5. Corrupted Kodama

Another way to get the Corrupt mutation in the game is through the Corrupted Kodama pet. Players have a 4.35% chance of getting it from growing the Corrupted Tree. This Grow a Garden pet has a 4% chance to apply the Corrupt mutation on any Zen plant when harvesting.

Best Tips to Get Corrupt Mutation in Grow a Garden

The easy way to get the Corrupt mutation on your plants is to wait until the Corrupted Aura event arrives. Here are a few tips that can help you get this mutation on most of the plants in your plot.

• Grow Corrupt Tree: Growing the corrupt tree increases your corruption points and resets every hour to give additional Corrupt mutation. So, if you are collecting Tranquil fruits, check if they match the weight requirement and use them on the corrupt tree.
• Plant Variety of Plants: Before the Corrupted Aura event starts, I suggest you plant different tiers of plants in your garden. The Corrupted tree quest that gives you additional gears or the corruption points requires different weight plants. So, it will be important to have options.
• Use the Corrupt Gears: As you complete the corrupt tree quest, you will receive the Corrupt staff and Corrupt Mutation spray. It is a win-win situation to gain plenty of Corrupt mutations. The staff works during the Corrupted Aura event, so make sure you have used it in your garden early.

Is the Corrupt Mutation Worth Getting?

In Grow a Garden, getting the Corrupt mutation is worth the grind. With a 20x sale value multiplier, it also helps you complete the Kitsune quest to balance the trees. Since there are multiple ways to get this mutation, you can collect as many as you want.

If we go by the selling value multiplier, Corrupt is similar to the Tranquil mutation. While collecting Corrupted fruits helps maintain balance, you’ll still need more Tranquil fruits. The more Tranquil fruit you have, the better your chances of converting them into corruption points, which then apply the mutation to plants in your garden.

Overall, if you want to get the Kitsune reward chest, the Corrupt mutation is important in Grow a Garden. How many crops in your garden are already with this mutation? Let us know in the comments.
