Pro Tips

Target high-value crops: Only use Gold mutation on crops worth 500K+ Sheckle

base value. A 1M Bone Blossom becomes 20M with Gold mutation, giving you 19M pure profit

Dragonfly positioning matters: Place your Dragonfly near the center of your garden so it can reach all crops. It applies Gold to random crops within its range every 5 minutes

Volume farming strategy: If you don't have Dragonfly, plant 200+ crops across your garden. With 1% natural Gold chance, you'll statistically get 2 Gold crops per 200 planted

Investment returns quickly: A Dragonfly costs 50M Sheckle

but pays for itself after just 3 applications on high-value crops. That's only 15 minutes of waiting

Community Secrets

Bug Egg tracking: Bug Eggs spawn randomly and rarely in Pet Eggs shop. Use stock trackers on websites like growagardenpro.com to get notified when they appear instead of manually checking

Stacking mechanics: Gold mutation (20x) + Shocked (100x) = 120x total multiplier, not 2,000x. Mutations ADD together, they don't multiply each other

Multi-Dragonfly empire: Wealthy players run 3+ Dragonflies simultaneously, getting Gold mutations every 1-2 minutes instead of every 5 minutes

Best profit target: Bone Blossom crops with 1M base value become 120M with Gold mutation, giving you 119M pure profit per combo
