Question 1

How does the plant value calculator work?

Accepted Answer

Our calculator uses the official Grow a Garden formula: Final Value = Base Price × Weight Ratio × Variant Multiplier × (1 + Σ(Mutation Multipliers - 1)). It takes into account the plant's base price, current weight vs base weight, variant type, and all applied mutations.

Question 2

How do mutations stack together?

Accepted Answer

Mutations stack additively, not multiplicatively. Each mutation contributes (ValueMulti - 1) to your total multiplier. For example, if you have Celestial (+2.0x) and Rainbow (+1.8x), your total multiplier is 1 + (2.0-1) + (1.8-1) = 2.8x.

Question 3

How does plant weight affect value?

Accepted Answer

Weight ratio is calculated as Current Weight ÷ Base Weight. If your plant weighs more than its base weight, the value increases proportionally. A plant that weighs 2x its base weight will have 2x the base value from weight alone.

Question 4

What are the best mutations to look for?

Accepted Answer

The most valuable mutations include Celestial (+2.0x), Rainbow (+1.8x), Shocked (+1.5x), and Frozen (+1.3x). However, the best mutation depends on your plant's base value and how many mutations you can stack.

Question 5

Any tips for trading plants?

Accepted Answer

Always calculate exact values before trading, look for undervalued items from players who don't know true values, consider weight impact, and be patient - don't rush into bad deals. Use our calculator to show proof of value during negotiations.

Question 6

What's the difference between plant variants?

Accepted Answer

Variants have different value multipliers: Normal (1x), Silver (2x), Gold (5x), and Rainbow (50x). Rainbow variants are the most valuable but also the rarest to obtain.

Question 7

Are Divine Fruits worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

Divine Fruits have the highest base values (1M+ Sheckles) but are very rare and expensive to obtain. They're best for high-level players who can afford the investment and have access to good mutations.

Question 8

What's the best strategy for making profit?

Accepted Answer

Focus on high-base-value plants with good mutations, look for Rainbow variants, and always calculate values before trading. Start with common plants to learn the system, then move to rarer, more valuable plants as you gain experience.

Question 9

Does the calculator work on mobile devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our calculator is fully responsive and works great on mobile phones and tablets. The interface automatically adapts to smaller screens for easy use on the go.

Question 10

How accurate is the calculator?

Accepted Answer

Our calculator is 96-100% accurate, based on the official game source code. For high-value plants (500k+ Sheckles), it's virtually 100% accurate. For lower-value plants, it's typically within ±1-2 Sheckles.
