The Fairy Event in Grow a Garden isn’t just about planting crops and collecting cute rewards—it also introduces a whole new upgrade system. With the help of Fairy Points, you can unlock special upgrades that boost event duration, fairy spawns, and even increase your crop profits.
If you’re wondering how to make the most of your Fairy Points and which upgrades are actually worth it, this guide has you covered. Let’s break down how upgrades work, all upgrade types, and the best strategy for spending your points.
How Fairy Upgrades Work
To get upgrades, you’ll need to talk to the Fairy Godmother NPC right by the Wishing Well. But upgrades don’t come free—you’ll need Fairy Points first.
Fairy Points are mainly earned by submitting Glimmering crops at the Wishing Well. Once you’ve saved up enough, follow these steps:
- Walk up to the Fairy Godmother and press E to interact.
- Select “Show me the Upgrades” to open the upgrade menu.
- Pick one of the four upgrade options.
- Spend Fairy Points to boost the level of your chosen upgrade.
Every level you purchase makes the upgrade more powerful. Now let’s look at what each upgrade actually does.
All Fairy Upgrades in Grow a Garden
There are four upgrade categories available during the Fairy Event:
1. Glimmer Multiplier
This upgrade increases the selling value of crops with the Glimmering mutation. At its max level, it doubles the profit.
- 1x (Default – 5x mutation value) Free
- 1.1x 500
- 1.2x 1,500
- 1.3x 3,000
- 1.4x 6,000
- 1.5x 9,000
- 1.6x 15,000
- 1.7x 21,000
- 1.8x 30,000
- 1.9x 40,000
- 2x 50,000
2. Loose Fairy Spawn Amount
Sometimes fairies randomly appear around the lobby. Catching them applies the Glimmering mutation to one of your crops. This upgrade increases how many of those roaming fairies you’ll see.
- 2 (Default) Free
- 4 2,500
- 5 5,000
- 6 9,000
- 7 15,000
3. Fairy Event Duration
The longer the Fairy Event lasts, the more crops in your garden can mutate. Upgrading this is one of the most powerful long-term boosts.
- 10 minutes (Default) Free
- 11 minutes 2,500
- 12 minutes 5,000
- 13 minutes 8,500
- 14 minutes 14,000
- 15 minutes 20,000
- 16 minutes 26,000
- 17 minutes 35,000
- 18 minutes 45,000
- 19 minutes 60,000
- 20 minutes 75,000
4. Fairy Spawn Amount
This one increases how many fairies appear during the Fairy Event itself. More fairies = more Glimmering plants.
- 2 (Default) Free
- 4 1,500
- 5 3,000
- 6 8,000
- 7 15,000
- 8 23,000
- 9 31,000
- 10 40,000
- 11 50,000
- 12 62,000
- 13 75,000
Which Fairy Upgrade Should You Get First?
Now here’s the tricky part—deciding where to spend your hard-earned Fairy Points. Not all upgrades give the same value early on.
- Fairy Event Duration should be your top priority. More event time means more mutations, more Glimmering plants, and ultimately more Fairy Points to reinvest.
- Fairy Spawn Amount is next, especially if you like farming actively during events.
- Loose Fairy Spawn Amount is a solid third pick since it helps generate mutations even outside of events.
- Glimmer Multiplier looks nice but should honestly be your last choice. The profit boost is minor compared to the sheer number of Glimmering crops you can generate with the other upgrades.
The Fairy Upgrade system in Grow a Garden is the key to getting the most out of the Fairy Event. By focusing on longer event durations and increased fairy spawns, you’ll be swimming in Glimmering plants, Fairy Points, and rewards in no time.
If you’re short on points, pace yourself—upgrade in small steps, and always prioritize what helps you farm more crops over simple profit boosts.
