White wind particle effects that appear as rapid swirling animations around crops. Features faint wind particles that create storm-like appearance with swirling pattern visible from distance and subtle grey coloration without major color changes to the crop itself.
Weather dependency - Windstruck from Windy/Gale events, Twisted from Tornado weather events
Pterodactyl assistance - Can apply Twisted mutation to help achieve combination
Automatic transformation - When both mutations present, instantly combines into Tempestuous
Best Way to Get Tempestuous Mutation
Multi-harvest strategy - Focus on high-value multi-harvest crops like Sugar Apple and Moon Blossom. Monitor weather tracking Discord servers for Windy/Gale and Tornado events. Use Pterodactyl pet to apply Twisted mutation when available.
Pro Tips
Component removal - Tempestuous removes both Windstruck and Twisted mutations, preventing triple stacking
Multi-harvest targeting - Apply to crops that produce multiple fruits for increased mutation opportunities per planting
Garden clearing - Remove low-value crops like strawberries to prevent wasted mutations on worthless plants
Weather tracking - Join Discord communities with weather bots to get alerts for required weather events
Community Secrets
Sandy controversy - Some sources claim Sandy mutation is also required, but consensus indicates only Windstruck + Twisted needed
Multiplier debate - Different sources report 12x vs 19x multiplier; most recent sources suggest 12x is correct
Efficiency question - Community debates whether 12x multiplier justifies effort compared to simpler high-value mutations
Pet strategy - Pterodactyl owners have significant advantage in achieving Tempestuous through controlled Twisted application
