How to Get Fried Pet Mutation in Grow a Garden

Grow a Garden has dropped a delicious update this week, reorganizing the game’s theme to make it tastier. We have pets that resemble some tempting treats like sushi and pancakes, along with brand-new seeds for veggies that can be helpful in cooking treats for the Pig NPC. In return for feeding it a delicious meal, the Pig NPC gives you rewards, with one of the main highlights being the Fried pet mutation shard. This shard will help you get the Fried mutation when applied to a pet. So, here’s how you can get the Fried pet mutation in Grow a Garden.

How to Get Fried Pet Mutation Shard in Grow a Garden

The Fried pet mutation is obtained once you get the Fried mutation shard in the game. It is a part of the quests where you must get new food items using the Cooking Recipes. So, here are the steps to get this item:

• Feed the Chris P NPC with proper dishes made using the cauldron.
• The Pig NPC will then provide you with rewards based on what you feed it.
• Among these rewards, you have a chance to get the fried mutation shard.
• There are no other ways to obtain the item, so it’s a matter of patience and becoming the best Michelin-star chef you can.

Now that you have the fried mutation shard, simply equip it in your hand and move to the pet you wish to apply this mutation to. Then, left-click on the pet while the shard is in your hand to apply the mutation. Do note that, if the pet already has a mutation, it will get replaced with the fried one. So, be sure of what you’re doing to not let any mishap occur.

Increase Chances to Obtain the Fried Pet Mutation

Since the only way to apply the fried mutation on pets is by using the mutation shard, you should focus on getting it first. It might seem that getting the fried mutation shard is as easy as said in the steps. But this is where you’re wrong. Since this reward is of the prismatic rarity, it will take a lot of time before you finally get the shard unless you follow the given tips below:

• Feed Chris his cravings: The most essential tip is to feed Chris all the foods he is craving at that moment. You can spot his cravings in his speech bubble beside his head.
• Prepare bigger and rarer dishes: Secondly, be sure that the dishes you prepare are bigger too. Moreover, rarer dishes have a better chance at increasing the rarity of the rewards you will get.

So the key point is to feed Chris NPC bigger and rarer items that he’s craving for. This will help in increasing the chances of getting better rewards, ultimately, helping you obtain the fried mutation shard sooner than ever.

Should You Get the Fried Pet Mutation Shard?

Looking at the multiplier for the fried mutation in Grow a Garden, it increases the value of the fruit by 8 times, which is not that great in terms of the investment you made. So, in my recommendation, you should not simply focus on getting the fried pet mutation shard in Grow a Garden. Rather, shift your focus to obtaining other profitable items like the Gourmet pet eggs, Gourmet seed packs, or the Mochi Mouse as well.

While you’re on the track of completing more cooking quests in the game, you might eventually end up being lucky and getting the fried mutation shard, too. So, that will be a much better approach to this event, thus giving you a rewarding experience.

So, have you got other prismatic rewards in this cooking update yet, like the Taco Fern seed? Let us know in the comments below.
