What are Grow a Garden Pet Shards and how do they work? They have something to do with Pet Mutations, which you can find out more about with our guide and our Pet Mutations Tier List for Grow a Garden.
Grow a Garden Pet Shards
Pet Shards are a type of Gear in Grow a Garden. Their main use is to give pets a mutation that they do not have. With the addition of Pet Mutations, there is a chance of pets getting certain mutations when they hatch. However, with Pet Shards, you can purposely apply a mutation to the pet.
If the pet already has a mutation, this may overwrite it with the new one, or may add to it. As this is a new feature, it’s not clear if this is the case yet!
Tranquil Pet Shard
It is of Divine rarity, and it’s used to apply the Tranquil mutation to a pet in your garden.
If you have a Tranquil pet in your garden, it applies the Tranquil mutation to a random crop in your garden every 25 minutes or so. Traquil pets have a 3.12% chance of hatching naturally, but with a Tranquil Pet Shard, it’s a guarantee!
The selling value of crops with the Tranquil mutation increases by x20. The only other ways of getting this crop mutation are during the Zen Aura weather event and by placing the Tanchozuru pet in your garden.
How to Get the Tranquil Pet Shard
To obtain a Tranquil Pet Shard, you must visit the Tranquil Treasures shop to purchase one with 200 Chi. As this shop is part of the Zen event update, it is only available for a limited time, unless the developers plan to make it a permanently obtainable item.
Corrupted Pet Shard
The Corrupted Pet Shard is of the Divine rarity and causes the pet to randomly apply the Corrupted mutation to a crop, increasing its selling value by 20x.
How to Get the Corrupted Pet Shard
To get this Pet Shard, you need to purchase it from the Tranquil Treasures shop with 205 Chi during the Zen update.
Will Pet Shards Become a Feature?
Yes! The addition of the Tranquil Pet Shard opens the door to more Pet Shards being added to Grow a Garden in the future (we now have the Corrupted Pet Shard, too!). Pet Shards are a Gear type, which means they will most likely be a regular addition to new updates.
