Fairy Upgrade Guide in Grow a Garden
The Fairy Event is live in Grow a Garden with a whole new set of quests, rewarding you with seed packs, eggs, cosmetic crates, and more. The update introduces an exclusive event currency called Fairy Points.
But how to make the most out of this Fairy event? The answer lies in Fairy upgrades. This guide breaks down the steps to upgrade your fairies, event duration, and mutation multiplier in the game.
How to Use Fairy Points for Fairy Upgrades
The Fairy upgrades are conducted by the Fairy Godmother NPC; however, they do not come for free. You must obtain and save Fairy points first.
Getting Fairy Points
Head over to the Wishing Well and offer the required plants with Glimmering mutation. This increases the rewards tier, and you have a chance at obtaining Fairy points.
Upgrade Steps
Follow these steps for Fairy upgrades in Grow a Garden:
- Walk up to the Fairy Godmother NPC in front of the Wishing Well and press the 'E' key to interact with her
- Select the "Show me the Upgrades" dialogue to open the Fairy Upgrades window
- Choose from four types of Fairy upgrades
- Click the green button to the right of each upgrade to increase the power of your choice
- This will consume Fairy points, and a single level of the specific upgrade will increase
List of All Fairy Upgrades
The four types of upgrades displayed by the Fairy Godmother are as follows:
1. Glimmer Multiplier
Upgrading the glimmer multiplier will increase the Glimmering mutation multiplier value. This way, you can earn more profits by selling Glimmering mutated fruits.

|---|---|
1x (5x mutation value by default) | |
1.1x | |
1.2x | |
1.3x | |

1.5x | |
1.6x | |
1.7x | |
1.8x | |
1.9x | |
2x (10x mutation value) |
2. Roaming Fairy Spawn Amount
This upgrade will increase the number of fairies appearing in the lobby. At times, you might notice fairies appearing at random locations, and interacting with them applies the Glimmering mutation to a fruit in your garden.
| Loose Fairy Count | Fairy Points Required |
|---|---|
2 | |
4 | |
5 | |
6 | |
7 |
3. Fairy Event Duration

What Should You Upgrade First
The real question arises about what you should upgrade first in this Fairy event.
General Strategy
Leave upgrading the glimmer multiplier to the very last. The reason is that it can reach a maximum of 2x, which isn't that great in terms of earning profits, and that too with a low number of Glimmering mutated crops.
Focus on the Fairy Event Duration first. If you can upgrade it to the maximum, you'll have 20 minutes of the Fairy event every hour. This can massively increase the amount of Glimmering mutated plants in your garden.
Strategy by Player Type
For Active Players:
Upgrade the Loose Fairy Spawn Amount first and then the Fairy Spawn Amount. This way, you can get more Glimmering plants even when the event is inactive.
For AFK Players:
Focus on upgrading the normal Fairy Spawn Amount and then the Loose ones. This way, you can come online when the event takes place and get the most out of it.
Recommended Priority Order
Here is the priority order for upgrading the fairies:
1. Fairy Event Duration
2. Fairy Spawn Amount
3. Loose Fairy Spawn Amount
4. Glimmer Multiplier
