Mutation
Moonlit Mutation
Applies to pets and crops
Multiplier
2x
Description
The Moonlit mutation gives crops a soft silver glow, multiplying their base sell value by 2x. It is tied to nighttime mechanics — applied by pets such as the Wolf or Tanuki, or forced onto crops using the Night Staff (purchasable from the Sky Merchant for 12,000,000 Sheckles). Moonlit is also the trigger requirement for the Nightjar pet's 'Call of the Night' ability, making it a key part of nighttime farming synergies. Stacks with other mutations for compounding value.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Moonlit mutation do in Grow a Garden?
The Moonlit mutation multiplies the base value of any pet or crop by 2x. A Moonlit item is worth 2 times more than the same item without a mutation.
How rare is the Moonlit mutation?
The Shocked mutation is the rarest mutation in Grow a Garden. Many dedicated players have never encountered one naturally. It is extraordinarily uncommon.
How do I get the Moonlit mutation?
Moonlit mutations can occur randomly when hatching eggs or harvesting crops. The exact probability is not officially documented. Mutation potions, which can be crafted or obtained from events, may allow intentional mutation application — though these potions are themselves highly valuable.
Do mutation multipliers stack?
Yes — certain mutation combinations stack multiplicatively. For example, a Wet Shocked Rainbow crop can be worth up to 5,000x its base value. The Dragonfly and Butterfly pets can generate mutation stacks that reach billions of Sheckles on high-rarity crops.
