There are a few ways to obtain the Glimmering mutation, including the newly introduced weather event, gears, and pets. So, here are the best methods to get this mutation:
1. Fairies Event
The Glimmering mutation can be obtained during the new Fairies weather event in Grow a Garden. This event takes place every hour and lasts for 10 minutes.
During the event, butterflies fly to the garden and apply the mutation. Using the Fairy Targeter will attract more fairies, increasing the chance to give more mutations to your crops.
2. Glimmering Sprite Pet
Apart from that, the second way to get this mutation is by using the Glimmering Sprite pet obtained from the new Enchanted eggs in the game. This pet has a chance to apply the Glimmering mutation on any plant or fruit within its range every 12 minutes.
3. Roaming Fairy
Although Roaming Fairies are part of the weather event, they can appear randomly in the lobby at any given time. You can simply walk over to them and interact. This will send them to your garden and apply the Glimmering mutation on a random crop.
4. Glimmering Mutation Spray
If you are doing the Wishing Well quests, earning the Glimmering Mutation Spray as a reward will be helpful. Alternatively, you can craft the spray at the crafting table near the gear station in Grow a Garden.
Simply use 1x Cleaning Spray, 1x Daffodil Seed, 1x Orange Tulip Seed, 1 Mango, and 1M Sheckles to craft the Glimmering Mutation spray. Using the spray will instantly apply the mutation to the crop you select.
5. Glimmering Pet Mutation
From the Wishing Well rewards, you can also earn the Glimmering Pet Shard. Use it on the pet you use in your garden, and the pet will apply the Glimmering mutation on random plants.
Best Tips to Get Glimmering Mutation in Grow a Garden
The easiest way to get the Glimmering mutation on plants is to wait until the Fairies event arrives. Here are a few tips that can help you get this mutation on most of the plants in your plot.
- Upgrade Fairy Levels: The best way to improve your chances of getting the Glimmering mutation is through upgrading Fairy Godmother. Through the upgrade, you can improve the Fairies event duration. The upgrades also let you add extra fairy spawn or additional roaming fairies to get more Glimmering mutations in your garden.
- Use Fairy-Themed Gears: There are multiple gears that you can earn from the Wishing Well that help in getting the Glimmer mutation in Grow a Garden. Make sure you use the Mutation Spray Glimmering or Glimmering Pet Shard to get more mutations. Moreover, having multiple Fairy Targeters in your garden will help you attract more fairies during the Fairies event.
Is the Glimmering Mutation Worth Getting?
The Glimmering mutation might not be the most profitable Grow a Garden mutation, but it’s a must-have for the Fairy Event. You will need it to complete Wishing Well tasks and get Fairy Points, along with other exclusive rewards. Without Glimmering crops, you won’t be able to make wishes or climb through the reward tiers.
The good news is that there are several reliable ways to get it, from fairies during the weather event to pets and sprays. While farming takes time, upgrading fairies at the Fairy Godmother and using fairy-themed gear makes the grind easier. The mutation itself won’t boost your garden income like others, but its event utility makes it extremely valuable right now.
If you want all the Fairy Event rewards, then yes, the Glimmering mutation is worth chasing. Which method are you using to get this new mutation? Let us know in the comments below.
