How to Obtain Zen Eggs in Grow a Garden
Getting your hands on Zen eggs in Grow a Garden is straightforward and, best of all, it won’t cost you any Robux! Follow these methods to secure your Zen eggs without burning a hole in your pocket.
1. Unk the Monk NPC
To grab free Zen eggs, visit the Monk Unk NPC located at the center of the play area. By submitting plants with the Tranquil mutation, you can quickly earn Zen eggs. The Tranquil mutation is easily achieved during the Zen Aura event, which happens every hour.
Submitting your Tranquil mutated plants fills a progress bar that enhances the zen tree behind Unk. As you level it up, you’ll gain random Zen-themed rewards, and Zen eggs are among them!
2. Zen Shop
If you’re the type who prefers instant gratification, you can also buy Zen eggs from the Zen shop using Chi points. Simply talk to the Brown Raccoon NPC next to the Monk to access the shop and purchase Zen eggs.
The Zen shop refreshes every hour, but if you want, you can even restock items by spending Sheckles and clicking the restock button in the upper right corner.
Which Zen Egg Pets Are the Best?
Now that you know how to obtain Zen pets, let’s pinpoint which ones are truly worth hatching. Based on performance testing in the new update, these pets can significantly enhance your gardening experience.
- Kitsune: Undoubtedly the best choice, as it not only provides a random fruit but also applies the Chakra mutation. It even has a rare chance to trigger an additional mutation, surpassing the Raccoon.
- Kappa: With a low cooldown, Kappa continually applies the Wet mutation to your fruits. This could unlock the Bloodlit mutation, making your sales considerably more profitable.
- Shiba Inu: Comparable to the Dog and Golden Lab, but with a quicker cooldown, enabling you to collect more seeds efficiently.
