Get ready for a touch of magic and a new path for veteran players! One of the biggest updates ever has just arrived in Grow a Garden. The Fairy Event + Garden Ascension Update is live right now, introducing three massive new systems, a ton of new content to collect, and some major quality-of-life changes. Let's dive into all the enchanting details of this incredible update!
The Magical Fairy Event
A new hourly event has begun! Every hour, fairies will visit and enchant your garden, blessing your fruit with the new Glimmering Mutation.
Collect Glimmering Fruit: Harvest these glowing fruits and take them to the Wishing Well to fulfill wishes and earn magical rewards.
Fountain Power: The Wishing Well may ask for specific fruits, but you can submit any glimmering fruit to charge up "Fountain Power," which helps complete the requirements.
Progress & Upgrades: There are 5 quest tiers with increasingly better rewards, which reset daily. You can also find Roaming Fairies around the map to earn Fairy Points, which can be spent at the Fairy Godmother to upgrade things like Glimmer Multiplier, event duration, and more!
Garden Ascension: A New End-Game
For the most dedicated gardeners, a new prestige system has been introduced to help with the game's economy and provide new goals.
How to Ascend: Once you earn 1 trillion sheckles and meet specific fruit requirements, you can choose to ascend.
What it Does: Ascending will reset your sheckles ONLY, but you will be rewarded with 10 Garden Coins. You can ascend once every 24 hours.
New Coin Shop: Garden Coins can be spent in a new tab of the seed shop on powerful, permanent upgrades, including:
An additional garden save slot
Egg, pet, and plant inventory capacity upgrades
Exclusive new seeds
And more!
The developers have noted this is a first step to address the economy and may be reworked based on community feedback.
NPC Friendship: Make a New Friend!
You can now build a friendship with Sam, the Seed Shop NPC!
How it Works: Feed Sam food every 24 hours to increase your friendship level. (You must be holding the food to see your progress).
Rewards: Leveling up your friendship will unlock a second tab in the seed shop with 4 brand-new, exclusive seeds that have different friendship level requirements to unlock.
