- The GiantBean pet shard boosts pet growth with 50XP per second for each Beanstalk in your garden.
- To obtain the GiantBean pet mutation, you can either buy it through the Friendship Shop or by crafting at the Beanstalk Crafting table.
- While the mutation helps the pet grow faster, it also makes the pet 15% hungrier in Grow a Garden.
With the Beanstalk expansion update, new special powers are sprouting, giving pets the strength of beans. One of these is the new Giant Bean pet mutation. While most pet mutations focus on helping crops mutate, the Giant Bean mutation speeds up your pet’s growth. If you want to raise your pet faster, here’s how you can get the Giant Bean pet mutation in Grow a Garden.
How to Get Giant Bean Pet Mutation Shard in Grow a Garden
The Giant Bean pet mutation in Grow a Garden is an exclusive one, and you can get it through the Pet Shard GiantBean. So, before we jump into the steps to use the shard, here are the two methods you can follow to get the Pet Shard GiantBean:
1. Friendship Shop
You can use Sheckles and get the Pet Shard GiantBean from the Friendship Shop. Here is how that works:
- Follow Grow a Garden cooking recipes, make food items, and feed them to the Giant NPC.
- After the Friendship tab opens in the Beanstalk Shop, keep feeding the giant food items until the friendship level reaches Level 5.
- Once the Pet Shard Giant Bean is in stock, spend 15,000,000 to obtain it. You can also restock the shop using Sheckles.
2. Beanstalk Crafting Table
You can also craft the Pet Shard using the Beanstalk Crafting Table. Before you get started, here are the ingredients to craft the GiantBean Pet Shard: 3x Beanstalk, 1x Cleansing Pet Shard, and 15K Sheckles.
Once you have the required items, follow the steps below to make it in Grow a Garden:
- First, walk up to the crafting table and press the E key to interact with it.
- Select the Pet Shard GiantBean recipe, and click the green Craft button.
- Hold the required items in your hand and submit them at the station.
- When the timer runs out, press the E key again to claim your crafted item.
To apply the Giant Bean mutation to your pet, you need to left-click on it while holding the shard in your hand. However, do remember that the pet shouldn’t have any other mutations. Otherwise, the former mutation will get replaced with the new Giant Bean mutation. Also, make sure that you have chosen the pet carefully; otherwise, you will need the Cleansing Pet Shard to remove it.

Increase Chances to Obtain the Giant Bean Pet Mutation
Unlike previous shards, this is much easier to obtain. However, whether you purchase the shard from Friendship Shop or craft it, you must rely on the shop stock. While you cannot improve the shop stock luck for the GiantBean pet mutation shard, check out these tips to obtain it faster:
- Collect Cleansing Pet Shards: As the crafting route is much easier and only requires a few Beanstalks, the Cleansing Pet Shard collection will be a tiring job. So, you can track the Grow a Garden Gear Shop stocks and collect these shards.
- Restock Friendship Shop Early: The Friendship Shop restocks automatically every hour in Grow a Garden. However, you can spend Sheckles to obtain the GiantBean Pet Shard. I suggest you restock the shop at the earliest and not when the auto restock is closer to the ending time, as it will reset the timer back to one hour.
Should You Get the Giant Bean Pet Mutation Shard?
Yes, the Giant Bean shard is a strong pick if your goal is to level up pets faster. The bonus of 50XP per second for every Beanstalk plant in your garden makes pets level up much faster than normal.
Since Beanstalk is one of the more easily obtainable Prismatic seeds, you can grow plenty of them for the maximum XP boost for the pet. It’s also easier to obtain compared to older shards, whether you buy it from the Friendship Shop or craft it.
The downside here is that your pet’s hunger rate jumps by 15%, which means you will be feeding the pet more often. On top of that, you must rely on shop stock, which can slow down progress if the resources aren’t available. While hunger can be managed easily now that you can feed the pets food items, obtaining them can be a grind if you are out of luck. If you are focused on building stronger pets fast, the Giant Bean shard is definitely worth it. Just be ready to handle the hunger drain.
Once you find this shard, don’t forget to apply it to your best pets in Grow a Garden. This completes the guide to obtain the Giant Bean pet mutation. Have you checked out the new Admin War update seeds yet? Let us know in the comments below.
