What is the Grow a Garden Corrupted Event?
The Corrupted Event represents the dark evolution of the previous week’s Zen Event, creating a perfect Yin and Yang balance in your garden. After the peaceful Zen Channeller helped players grow the white Zen Tree, a Corrupt Channeller has arrived to spread chaos and darkness through your crops.
This expansion doesn’t replace the Zen content – instead, it adds an entirely new layer of gameplay where you must balance both tranquil and corrupted energies to unlock the most valuable rewards in the game’s history. The event introduces:
- Corruption Point System: Convert Tranquil fruits into corruption points
- Corrupted Tree Growth: A red counterpart to the Zen Tree
- Kitsune Balancing Quest: Balance both mutations for exclusive rewards
- Celebrity Admin Event: Travis Kelce joins for special weather events
- New Weather Effects: Corrupted Aura and potential cyclone events
The narrative centers around restoring balance to your garden as tranquility fades and corruption spreads. It’s up to you to master both forces and reap the incredible rewards that come from achieving perfect harmony.
How to Get Corruption Points in Grow a Garden?
Understanding the Corruption Point System
Corruption Points are the primary currency for progressing through the Corrupted Event. These points are displayed on a board next to the Corrupt Channeller NPC and directly influence the growth of the Corrupted Tree. Here’s the complete breakdown of how the system works:
Step-by-Step Process:
- Obtain Tranquil Mutation Fruits
- Wait for the hourly Zen Aura event (10 minutes duration)
- Use Tranquil mutation pets
- Apply Tranquil Staff or Tranquil Mutation Spray
- Use Tanchozuru pets for guaranteed mutations
- Meet Weight Requirements
- The Corrupt Channeller requests specific weight ranges
- Keep various tier plants ready (Common to Prismatic)
- Check requirements before harvesting Tranquil fruits
- Submit to Corrupt Channeller
- Hold the required Tranquil fruit
- Press E to interact with the Corrupt Channeller
- Select “Submit requirement” to give the fruit
- Pay the requested Sheckles amount (varies by tier)
- Earn Corruption Points
- Each successful submission grants 1 Corruption Point
- Points accumulate to grow the Corrupted Tree
- Tree resets hourly, converting points to mutations
Corruption Point Rewards
| Reward | Drop Chance | Value/Use |

Pro Tips for Maximizing Corruption Points

- Server Hopping: Different servers may have different weight requirements
Growing the Corrupted Tree
The Corrupted Tree stands as the dark mirror to the peaceful Zen Tree, located directly opposite in the game lobby. This sinister red tree grows through accumulated Corruption Points and provides unique benefits that scale with your dedication.
How the Corrupted Tree Works
Growth Mechanics:
- Tree grows in stages based on total Corruption Points
- Visual changes occur at specific point thresholds
- Larger tree = more corruption mutations distributed
Hourly Reset System:
- Every hour on the hour, the tree resets to base size
- Accumulated points convert into Corrupt mutations
- Mutations randomly apply to plants in your garden
- Higher point totals = more mutations distributed
Corruption Distribution Formula:
- 1-10 Points: 1-2 random mutations
- 11-25 Points: 3-5 random mutations
- 26-50 Points: 6-10 random mutations
- 51-100 Points: 11-20 random mutations
- 100+ Points: 21-30+ random mutations
Strategic Tree Growing Tips
- Timing is Everything
- Submit fruits 5-10 minutes before the hour
- Maximize points right before reset
- Plant high-value crops before distribution
- Coordinate with Friends
- Pool resources for weight requirements
- Trade Tranquil fruits for efficiency
- Share mutation spray rewards
- Garden Preparation
- Fill garden with multi-harvest plants
- Remove single-harvest crops before reset
- Position valuable plants centrally
Complete Kitsune Quest Guide
The Kitsune represents the balance between corruption and tranquility, offering some of the event’s most exclusive rewards. This mystical fox spirit stands in the center of the lobby, serving as the mediator between the two opposing forces.
Kitsune Quest Mechanics
Balancing Requirements:

- Submit 6 Corrupt mutation fruits
- Both bars must be filled completely
- Order doesn’t matter – mix submissions freely
Smart Submission Strategy:
