The tranquil vibes have arrived in Grow a Garden with the new Zen update! Beyond the calming Zen Aura weather events and new quests, this update brings a fresh collection of seeds and pets to cultivate your perfect, serene plot. You might be wondering, do these new additions hold the power to outshine even the formidable Bone Blossom? Let’s dive into how to obtain the elusive Zen Seed Pack and explore all the botanical treasures it contains!
What’s Inside? All New Zen Pack Seeds!
The Zen Seed Pack introduces six new seeds, offering a mix of single and multi-harvest crops. While single-harvest plants often fetch a higher immediate price, focusing on multi-harvest crops can make it easier to trigger the new Tranquil mutation.
Here’s a breakdown of the seeds you can find, along with their rarity, harvest type, and average selling price:
Crop Name | Rarity | Drop Rate | Harvest Type | Avg Sell Price |
---|---|---|---|---|
Monoblooma | Uncommon | 40% | Single | 27,000 |
Serenity | Rare | 25% | Multiple | 33,500 |
Taro Flower | Rare | 20% | Single | 141,500 |
Zen Rocks | Legendary | 10% | Single | 133,700 |
Hinomai | Mythical | 4.5% | Multiple | 77,750 |
Maple Apple | Divine | 0.5% | Multiple | 82,500 |
Your Path to Zen: How to Get Zen Seed Packs
There are two primary ways to get your hands on Zen Seed Packs, catering to different playstyles. Both methods revolve around the new Tranquil mutation.
Method 1: Cultivating Peace with Unk the Monk NPC
This method involves harnessing the power of the Zen Aura weather event.
- Wait for the Zen Aura: The Zen Aura event occurs at the beginning of every hour and lasts for 10 minutes. During this time, fruits in your garden have a chance to gain the Tranquil mutation. You’ll know it’s active by a serene sky change and an icon in the bottom right corner.
- Acquire Tranquil Fruits:
- Simply wait for the Zen Aura event to mutate your plants.
- Use a Tranquil Pet Shard to apply the Tranquil mutation to an existing pet, allowing them to apply it to plants.
- Hatch the Tanchozuru pet from a Zen Egg (which you can also obtain through these methods!), as it can passively mutate nearby fruits.
- Submit to Unk the Monk: Once you have Tranquil mutated fruits, head to Unk the Monk NPC (also known as the Zen Channeller) located in the center of the map. Submitting these fruits will increase the progress bar above the Monk’s head, causing a Zen Tree to grow.
- Claim Rewards: As the tree progresses through its five stages, you’ll receive various Zen-themed rewards, with a high chance of including Zen Seed Packs! This method also helps you earn Chi.
Method 2: The Zen Shop & Chi Points
This method focuses on earning and spending Chi Points, a new in-game currency.
- Earn Chi Points:
- Submit Tranquil mutated fruits to the Raccoon NPC (the Tanuki) running the Zen Shop, located next to Unk the Monk. The rarer the plant, the more Chi you’ll receive.
- Leveling up the Zen Tree by submitting fruits to Unk the Monk can also passively earn you some Chi points.
- Visit the Zen Shop: Once you have enough Chi, interact with the Raccoon NPC to open the Zen shop.
- Purchase Zen Seed Packs: You can buy a Zen Seed Pack for 12 Chi. This is a direct way to get packs without waiting for the Zen Tree’s progression, though you can also buy them for 199 Robux.
Top Seeds from the Zen Seed Pack: Are They Worth It?
Absolutely! The Zen Seed Pack offers some highly valuable crops that are definitely worth the effort. Here are some of the best seeds you can obtain:
- Maple Apple (Divine, Multiple Harvest): This rare tree-like crop provides multiple high-value fruits per harvest, making it incredibly profitable, much like the Sugar Apple. With its incredibly low 0.5% drop rate, it’s the ultimate prize of the Zen Pack!
- Taro Flower (Rare, Single Harvest): While a single-harvest crop, the Taro Flower boasts a very high average sell price (141,500 Sheckles), promising substantial earnings with each successful growth.
- Serenity (Rare, Multiple Harvest): Similar to a Blueberry bush, the Serenity crop yields multiple flowers per harvest. If these flowers gain mutations, you’ll be looking at a consistent stream of valuable produce!
