Grow a Garden has brought an exciting, limited-time Smithing event packed with new pets, gears, plants, and cosmetics. These items can’t be bought directly; instead, you must craft them using specific ingredients. The common ingredient among these recipes is coal, which you can get while the Smithing event is active. In this guide, find out all the easy methods of obtaining coal in Grow a Garden.
How to Obtain Coal in Grow a Garden
Coal can be obtained in three simple methods during the Smithing event of Grow a Garden. This includes contributing to the main event, using a Smithing Dog, and through Treasure digging. So, check these methods in detail below:
1. Contribute to the Smithing Event
The Smithing Event requires players to submit a plant, a pet, and a gear all at once. You’ll then be rewarded with a coal of random rarity. Apart from that, submitting items to the Smithing event will also help in reducing the crafting time and make special weather events occur.
2. Place Smithing Dog
Now, for the second method, you can try opting for the Smithing Dog. This pet can be crafted at the pet crafting station located in the event area. The ingredients required are a Dog, 2x Rare Coals, and 3 million sheckles.
Once crafted, place the Smithing dog in your farm, and its passive lets the pet dig up a coal once every 12 minutes. The pet will dig up common coal more often than it does with higher-rarity coal. Although a small thing, you will have a constant income of coal in the long run.
3. Treasure Digging
The third way is a completely free method, but it relies on a random chance. Similar to the Gravedigging mechanic introduced in the last Halloween updates, we now have the treasure digging event. You can access this area by clicking on the Shop button on the left side of the screen.
Once a new screen opens up, showing a 5×5 square tiled area with flowers on top. All you need to do is dig every square to reveal what lies underneath. With every dig, your chances decrease, but you can have a small chance of getting coal through this event.
List of All Coal Types in Grow a Garden
In Grow a Garden, you can find the following types of coal during the Smithing event:
- Common Coal: A black block with dark grey details
- Rare Coal: A black block with blue details
- Legendary Coal: A black block with golden details
- Divine Coal: A black block with red details
What is the Use of Coal in Grow a Garden Smithing Update
Coal is a common ingredient in all the recipes displayed on the crafting stations in the Smithing update. Whether you’re crafting gears, pets, eggs, plant seeds, or cosmetic items, each of them will require coal of a certain rarity.
Apart from that, you can hold a coal in one hand and click the left mouse button to get sheckles in return. The higher the rarity of the coal, the more sheckles you will get. However, since the overall number of sheckles is very low and you will need them to make items anyway, it’s recommended that you don’t crumble them for easy cash.
That completes the guide on how you can obtain coal in Grow a Garden. So, are you ready to complete this event and get all the new items in it? Tell us in the comments below.
