How to Get Winter Eggs in Grow a Garden?
You can get Winter Eggs in two ways during the Christmas event. The first way is to grow a Christmas tree in your garden. As your tree gets bigger, you earn rewards including Winter Eggs. The second method is to purchase them directly from the shop for 149 Robux each.
Method 1: Christmas Tree Rewards
The Christmas Tree event involves players growing Christmas Trees in their gardens. You will start receiving rewards once your tree crosses the weight threshold of five kilograms. These will include Winter Eggs, which you will get in varying quantities when your tree hits different weight milestones:
- 7 kg: 1 Winter Egg
- 10 kg: 2 Winter Eggs
- 18 kg: 3 Winter Eggs
- 24 kg: 4 Winter Eggs
- 34 kg: 5 Winter Eggs
- 46 kg: 5 Winter Eggs
- 55 kg: 7 Winter Eggs
For every four kilograms after crossing the 61 kg mark, you will have a 33.33% chance of getting a Winter Egg as a reward.
Method 2: Direct Purchase
If you don’t have the patience to contribute to growing your tree manually and don’t mind spending, you can always purchase a Winter Egg for 149 Robux at the shop. This is the quickest way to get your hands on Winter Eggs, especially if you want to guarantee acquiring them.
All Winter Egg Pets and Their Abilities
The Winter Egg contains five distinct pets, each with unique Christmas-themed abilities that can transform your garden’s productivity. After extensive testing with each pet, here’s the complete breakdown:
1. Partridge (Common – 50% Chance)
Trait Name: Christmas Partridge
Ability: All Christmas type plants within range have increased variant chance!
My Analysis: While common, the Partridge is incredibly valuable for variant farming. The increased variant chance affects all Christmas-themed plants in your garden, making it easier to obtain rare and mythical variants. This pet is particularly useful for players focusing on collecting rare plant mutations during the Christmas event.
2. Santa Bear (Rare – 26% Chance)
Trait Name: Merry Beary
Ability: Occasionally spawns a random Christmas gift! Find it to get a reward!
My Analysis: The Santa Bear adds an element of surprise to your garden with its gift-spawning ability. Every few minutes, it will drop a Christmas gift that contains various rewards when you interact with it. The rewards can range from seeds to Sheckles, making this pet a reliable source of additional income and resources.
3. Moose (Mythical – 15% Chance)
Trait Name: Christmas Support
Ability: When Christmas type pets finish their abilities, they start their cooldown with less! Moose Call: Occasionally eats a fruit with a Cold type mutation, does a call and all nearby plants advance growth.
My Analysis: The Moose is a game-changer for players running multiple Christmas pets. Its primary ability reduces cooldown times for other Christmas pets, allowing you to chain abilities more frequently. The secondary “Moose Call” ability provides a significant growth boost to nearby plants, making it invaluable for rapid garden expansion.
4. Frost Squirrel (Mythical – 8.5% Chance)
Trait Name: Winter’s Bounty
Ability: Occasionally spawns a Frost Fruit with a Cold mutation. When harvested, it gives a random mutation to nearby fruits.
My Analysis: The Frost Squirrel is a mutation farming powerhouse. Its ability to spawn Frost Fruits with Cold mutations, which then spread random mutations to nearby plants, creates a cascade effect of mutation opportunities. This makes it one of the most sought-after pets for players focused on maximizing their garden’s genetic diversity.
5. Wendigo (Divine – 0.5% Chance)
Trait Name: Arctic King
Ability: All nearby plants gain the Cold mutation and have increased growth speed. Additionally, when Wendigo uses its ability, it freezes the garden, preventing any plants from being harvested for 30 seconds (protects from theft).
My Analysis: The Wendigo is the crown jewel of the Winter Egg collection. As a Divine-tier pet, it offers unparalleled benefits including universal Cold mutation application and growth speed increases. The freezing ability provides crucial protection against other players attempting to steal your harvest, making it essential for high-value gardens.
