How to Get Zen Eggs in Grow a Garden
Currently, there are two simple ways to obtain the Zen eggs in Grow a Garden, and they don’t even cost you any Robux. You need to complete a few basic tasks, like submitting mutated plants to a new NPC and using the new currency to buy Zen eggs. So, here are the best ways to get Zen eggs:
1. From Unk the Monk NPC
To get free Zen eggs, head over to the Monk Unk NPC at the center of the play area and submit plants with the Tranquil mutation. This is the most cost-effective way, since you don’t need to spend any in-game currency, and getting the Tranquil mutation only requires you to wait for the Zen Aura event, which spawns every hour.
So, once you submit all your Tranquil mutated plants or fruits to the Monk, the progress bar will fill and help grow the zen tree behind him. As you level up and the tree grows, you will receive random Zen-themed rewards. There’s a high chance that you will receive Zen eggs as the reward.
2. From Zen Shop
The next way to obtain Zen eggs is from the Zen shop. This method is for players who don’t like to wait for long hours. If you have enough Chi points, you can interact with the Brown Raccoon NPC beside the Monk to access the Zen shop and buy Zen eggs from there.
We have a dedicated guide on how to get Chi Points in Grow a Garden, in case you were wondering what Chi is and how to obtain them.
So, grab the Zen eggs, place them in your garden to hatch the new Zen pets. Note that the Zen shop refreshes every hour. However, the good thing with this update is that you can always restock items by spending a few Sheckles and clicking the restock button on top right of the shop.
Best Zen Egg Pets in Grow a Garden
Now that you know how to get Zen pets in Grow a Garden, it’s time to check what pets are worth hatching and deploying in your plot. After testing the pets in the new update, we have chosen the following can add the most value to the plants in your garden.
- Kitsune: This pet is a clear winner. It not only brings you a random fruit, but also applies the Chakra mutation to it. Kitsune also has a rare chance to apply a second mutation as well, and it is so much better than the Raccoon.
- Kappa: Due to its low cooldown, most of your fruits in the garden will have the Wet mutation, and can also get the Bloodlit mutation. This will increase the profit earned by selling fruits.
- Shiba Inu: As of now, the passive looks similar to Dog and Golden Lab, but the cooldown for its passive is far less, thereby helping you obtain more seeds.
This concludes our full list of new pets you can get from the Zen eggs. Obviously, some of these pets are great options to choose from, but you’ll find far better choices in our Grow a Garden pet tier list. So, which is your favorite pet in the Zen update? Let us know in the comments below!
