How to Get Aromatic Mutation in Grow A Garden Roblox?
I’ve discovered three main ways to obtain the Aromatic mutation in Grow a Garden. Let me break down each method with step-by-step instructions.
Method 1: Kitchen Storm Event (Most Reliable)
The best time to get the Aromatic mutation on your crops is during the Kitchen Storm event. Here’s exactly how it works:
- Find Chris P NPC – Located at the cooking station in the center hub
- Cook Food Items – Use the cooking recipes in Grow a Garden to create dishes
- Feed Chris P – Give your cooked food to Chris P to earn points
- Fill the Meter – Every time the meter reaches 40 points, the Kitchen Storm event will trigger.
- Plant During Storm – Your crops have increased chances of getting Aromatic mutation during the event
Pro Tip: Higher rarity food items will give more points, hence completing the bar faster.
Method 2: Aromatic Pet Mutation (Long-term Investment)
The Aromatic Pet mutation is one of the easiest ways to obtain the mutation for your crops. Follow these steps:
- Cook Mutated Food – Use fruits with existing mutations to cook food
- Visit Rat Connoisseur – Find this NPC near the cooking area
- Trade Mutated Food – give the mutated food to the Rat connoisseur NPC and wait for the reward selection screen.
- Get Pet Shard – If you are lucky, you will receive the divine rarity Pet Shard Aromatic.
- Apply to Pet – Use the shard on any pet to grant Aromatic mutation ability
Important Note: Once mutated, the Aromatic pet will occasionally try to give the Aromatic mutation to a crop in your garden. Keep in mind that even if the timer activates, the attempt can still fail, so luck plays a big role.
Method 3: Mutation Spray Aromatic (Limited Availability)
While less common, the Mutation Spray Aromatic provides instant Aromatic mutation to crops. This spray may be available through:
- Special event rewards
- Trading with other players
- Limited-time shop offerings during Kitchen Storm events
Kitchen Storm Event Strategy
To maximize your Kitchen Storm triggers and Aromatic mutations, I recommend this optimized approach:
Optimal Food Preparation
- Focus on High-Rarity Recipes
- Prismatic foods (highest points)
- Divine tier dishes (excellent point value)
- Mythical food items (good balance of effort/reward)
- Efficient Cooking Timeline
- During the Kitchen Storm, your cooking speed is boosted by 2x, and the chance to carry over mutation from the fruit to food increases.
- Cook basic recipes between storms
- Save complex recipes for 2x speed boost
- Ingredient Management
- Stockpile rare seeds before events
- Keep a variety of mutations ready
- Focus on multi-use ingredients
Point Calculation Strategy
Based on my testing, here’s the approximate point values for different food rarities:
| Food Rarity | Points per Item | Items to 40 Points |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1-2 points | 20-40 items |
| Uncommon | 3-4 points | 10-14 items |
| Rare | 5-7 points | 6-8 items |
| Divine | 8-10 points | 4-5 items |
| Prismatic | 12-15 points | 3-4 items |
