The Tranquil Mutation is one of the key features introduced in the Zen Update of Grow a Garden. If you’re aiming to complete quests, unlock Zen Seed Packs, or just want peaceful-looking crops, learning how to trigger this mutation is essential. Here’s a full breakdown of how the Tranquil Mutation works and how to get the Tranquil Pet Mutation Shard.
What is the Tranquil Mutation?
The Tranquil Mutation is a plant effect that changes nearby fruits, giving them a calm and glowing appearance. This mutation is needed for some quests — for example, Harvest Tranquil Mutation 5 Times — so it’s not just cosmetic. It’s part of the Zen-themed content and ties into farming efficiency during the event.
How Does the Tranquil Pet Mutation Shard Work?
To activate this mutation, you need the Tranquil Pet Mutation Shard, a special item that spreads the Tranquil effect to fruits planted nearby. When active, it creates a peaceful aura that affects nearby crops, helping you complete Zen-related tasks. Here are the key details:
- Effect: A nearby fruit finds inner peace, applying the Tranquil mutation.
- Appearance: A glowing blue hexagon with soft particle effects.
- Use: Place it near your plants to passively trigger the mutation.
How to Get Tranquil Mutation Shard
To apply the mutation, you’ll need to get the shard first. Here’s how:
- Go to the Tranquil Treasures Shop – This is part of the Zen Event area.
- Purchase Using Zen Currency – The cost is currently listed as unknown or possibly 279 Zen Coins, but this may change in future updates.
- Limited-Time Availability – It’s available only during the Zen Event, so grab it before the event ends.
At the moment, the Tranquil Mutation Shard is not obtainable through regular gameplay or gacha — it’s event-exclusive during the Zen Update. With the right setup using the Tranquil Pet Mutation Shard, you’ll be able to progress faster in the Zen event and collect more Chi. Make sure to set it up near your crops and harvest often to complete your quests with ease in Grow a Garden.
