- The Golden Acorn can be used to give a random mutation to pets level 40 or above, ten levels less than the Mutation Station.
- Available to buy from the Fall Gears shop, Golden Acorn unlocks after contributing to Fall Bloom 12 times and costs 10 Billion Sheckles.
- The new item is powerful but single-use and expensive, making it a risky and time-consuming gear to acquire.
With the arrival of the Fall Market update, numerous new gears have been added in Grow a Garden. Among them, the Golden Acorn shines the brightest, not because of its name, but its amazing ability to mutate your pets without the Pet Mutation machine. It is one of the best gears that you can obtain from the Fall Market. So, in this guide, learn how to get and use Golden Acorn in Grow a Garden.
How to Get Golden Acorn in Grow a Garden
Players can obtain the Golden Acorn gear from the Fall Gear Shop in Grow a Garden for 10 Billion Sheckles.
The Fall Gear Shop can be found in the central Fall Market area of the game. Once you visit the Fall Market Area, you will see the Danielle NPC. Talk to her and you’ll be able to access the Fall Festival Gears Shop.
The Fall Gear Shop has a lot of items, with the Golden Acorn at the very bottom. However, it’s not readily available for you to buy.
To unlock the Golden Acorn gear in the shop, you must contribute to the Fall Bloom 12 times. For that, you must submit the required type of plants at the Fall Tree.
Even after you have unlocked the gear, it might be out of stock. We recommend you check the Fall Gear Shop every time you manually restock it using the Fall Bloom. Doing so also restocks all the other Fall Event shops in Grow a Garden.
How to Use the Golden Acorn in Grow a Garden
Now, let’s say you have managed to get the Golden Acorn, but how do you use it? Well, you simply follow the steps given below:
- Equip the Golden Acorn from your backpack.
- Hold the item and go near the pet you want to mutate.
- The pet must be of age 40 or above.
- Once the highlight appears on the pet, click the left mouse button.
After following all the steps, your chosen pet will receive a random mutation, and its level will be reset to one.
Should You Get Golden Acorn in Grow a Garden?
The Golden Acorn gives your pet a random mutation, and the required pet XP level is only 40. This is 10 XP levels lower than the Pet Mutation Station, which requires your pet to be at least XP level 50.
This can be a good option, but getting it can be tricky and full of hassle. The Golden Acorn can be used only once per pet, and it costs 10 Billion Sheckles to purchase. On top of that, it might not be available in the Fall Gear Shop all the time, meaning you might need to restock the shop or wait for an hour.
Overall, the Golden Acorn can be a good item for you to try out, but it can be hard to get, costing you a lot of money and effort. Still, are you getting the Golden Acorn in Grow a Garden, or do you prefer the Pet Mutation machine? Let us know in the comments below.
