Released on December 20, 2025, as part of the Christmas Harvest Part 3 update, the Reindeer Root represents the newest addition to the limited Transcendent crop lineup. With an incredibly low 0.11% stock chance and a staggering price tag of 150 billion Sheckles, this festive plant challenges even veteran gardeners. But don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every method to maximize your chances of getting this Christmas treasure before the event ends.

Understanding the Reindeer Root

What Makes Reindeer Root Special?

The Reindeer Root isn’t just another pretty plant in your garden it’s a game-changing Transcendent crop with unique properties that make it highly sought after during the Christmas season. As the 12th Transcendent crop added to Grow a Garden, it joins an elite group of the rarest plants in the game.

What sets the Reindeer Root apart from other crops is its classification system. It’s categorized as a Root, Leafy, Woody, Stalky, AND Christmas type crop. This means any gear, pet, or mutation that affects these specific crop types will boost your Reindeer Root, making it incredibly versatile for various farming strategies.

Reindeer Root Stats and Value

Let me break down the impressive statistics that make the Reindeer Root worth pursuing:

Crop Value:

Price-Floor Value: 135,375 Sheckles
Average Value: 150,000 Sheckles
These values apply per harvest, and Reindeer Root is a multi-harvest crop

Crop Weight:

Price-Floor Weight: 7.60 kg
Average Weight: 8.00 kg
Minimum Weight: 5.60 kg
Huge Chance: 0.33%

The multi-harvest nature means you can repeatedly collect from the same plant without replanting, which dramatically increases your return on investment over time. When you consider the 150 billion Sheckle initial cost, the ability to harvest multiple times becomes crucial for profitability.

The Unique Christmas Mutation Ability

Here’s where the Reindeer Root truly shines: it’s the fifth plant in Grow a Garden history to have a special ability. Nearby crops have a chance to gain random Christmas-type mutations when you have a Reindeer Root planted in your garden.

The Christmas mutations that Reindeer Root can spread include:

Snowy (3x multiplier)
Chilled (3x multiplier)
Frozen (10x multiplier)
Sub-zero (15x multiplier)
Ornamented (8x multiplier)
Arctic (20x multiplier)

This passive ability makes the Reindeer Root an incredible investment for the Christmas Harvest Event. While you’re farming other crops for event points, your Reindeer Root continuously works in the background, applying valuable mutations that increase your submission values and earnings.

How To Get Reindeer Root: Complete Method

Primary Method: Seed Shop Purchase

The only way to obtain the Reindeer Root is through the default Seed Shop during the Christmas Harvest Event. There’s no alternative method—no special quests, no event milestones, no trading (initially). You must catch it when it appears in stock.

Here’s the step-by-step process I use:

Step 1: Access the Seed Shop Navigate to the Seed Shop in the main lobby area. This is Tom’s shop with the blue and white striped awning. The Reindeer Root will appear in the limited-time Christmas section during the event period.

Step 2: Understanding Stock Rotation The Seed Shop refreshes its inventory every 5 minutes. Each refresh gives you a 0.11% chance (1 in 888) for the Reindeer Root to appear in stock. This incredibly low chance means you’ll likely need to check hundreds of times before spotting it.

Step 3: Prepare Your Currency You have three payment options when the Reindeer Root appears:

150,000,000,000 Sheckles (150 billion)
1,699 Robux
1,699 Trade Tokens

Most players use Sheckles, but having Robux or Trade Tokens ready provides flexibility if you’re short on in-game currency when it finally appears.

Step 4: Make the Purchase When the Reindeer Root appears in stock, act quickly! Limited stock items can sell out if multiple players are purchasing simultaneously. Click the purchase button, confirm your payment method, and secure your seed immediately.

Setting Up Stock Notifications

Manually checking the Seed Shop every 5 minutes is exhausting and impractical. Smart farmers use stock notification systems to alert them when rare seeds become available.

Official Stock Notifier Discord The Grow a Garden community runs a dedicated Stock Notifier Discord server specifically for tracking rare seed appearances. Here’s how to set it up:

Join the Grow a Garden Stock, Weather & Eggs Notifier Discord (link found through the main Grow a Garden Discord at discord.gg/growagarden)
Navigate to the #stock-notifications channel
Enable notifications for this channel specifically
Set up role assignments to receive pings for Transcendent seeds
Keep Discord open in the background or on mobile

When the Reindeer Root appears in any monitored shop, you’ll receive an instant notification. This gives you approximately 5 minutes to log into the game and make your purchase before the shop refreshes again.

I cannot stress enough how valuable these Discord notifications are. The 0.11% stock chance means the Reindeer Root might only appear 2-3 times per day across all shop rotations. Without notifications, you could miss your opportunity entirely.

Alternative Payment Methods

If you’re struggling to accumulate 150 billion Sheckles before the event ends, the Robux and Trade Token options provide viable alternatives:

Using Robux (1,699) For players who don’t mind spending real money, 1,699 Robux completely bypasses the Sheckle requirement. This option makes the most sense if:

You’re a newer player without established farming operations
The event is ending soon and you’re running out of time
You want to avoid the grinding required for 150 billion Sheckles

Using Trade Tokens (1,699) Trade Tokens offer a middle-ground option. You acquire these through the trading system:

Purchase Trading Tickets from the Gear Shop (100,000 Sheckles or 19 Robux each)
Complete successful trades with other players
Accumulate 1,699 Trade Tokens
Use tokens to purchase the Reindeer Root when it appears

The Trade Token method requires active participation in the trading economy but doesn’t require real money or massive Sheckle accumulation.

Maximizing Your Stock Chances

Let me share some advanced techniques I’ve developed for maximizing your chances of catching the Reindeer Root in stock:

Technique 1: Server Hopping Each server has an independent Seed Shop with separate stock rotations. By joining multiple servers and checking shops, you mathematically increase your encounter chances.

Here’s my server hopping strategy:

Open Grow a Garden in multiple browser tabs or devices
Join different servers in each instance
Set up a rotation where you check each shop every 5 minutes
When Discord notifications alert you, check the specific server mentioned

Technique 2: Peak Hour Farming Stock appears more frequently during peak player hours because shops refresh more often with higher server populations. I’ve noticed increased Transcendent seed appearances between:

4 PM – 9 PM EST on weekdays
12 PM – 10 PM EST on weekends

Schedule your farming sessions during these windows for better odds.

Technique 3: The 888 Method Given the 1 in 888 chance, some dedicated players use a calculated approach:

Each refresh is independent with 0.11% chance
Checking 888 times gives approximately 63% chance of seeing it once
Checking 1,776 times (double) increases to approximately 86% chance
Set a goal of checking a specific number of refreshes per day

This method requires dedication but provides a psychological framework for persistence.

Earning 150 Billion Sheckles Fast

If you’re committed to purchasing the Reindeer Root with Sheckles, you’ll need an efficient farming strategy to accumulate 150 billion before the event ends. I’ve tested numerous methods, and these represent the absolute fastest approaches.

Method 1: Mutation Stacking Strategy

Mutations are the key to exponential Sheckle growth. A basic tomato worth 1,000 Sheckles can become worth millions with the right mutation combinations.

Essential Mutations for Fast Money:

Rainbow (50x) – Random 0.5% chance
Gold (20x) – Random 1% chance
Shocked (30x) – During thunder weather with certain pets
Celestial (120x) – During Meteor Shower events
Christmas mutations (3x-20x) – During Christmas weather events

My Proven Stacking Formula:

Plant high-value crops like Watermelon, Pumpkin, or Coconut
Wait for favorable weather events (rain, thunder, Christmas snow)
Use pets that apply mutations (Firefly for Shocked, Polar Bear for Frozen)
Stack multiple mutations on the same fruit
Harvest and sell when you achieve 100x+ combined multipliers

A single Watermelon with Rainbow + Shocked + Frozen mutations can sell for 30-50 million Sheckles. Get just a few of these per hour and you’ll reach 150 billion faster than you think.

Method 2: Transcendent Crop Farming

If you already own other Transcendent crops, leverage them for maximum profit:

Best Transcendent Crops for Money:

Great Pumpkin: 7-8 harvests at 210,000 Sheckles each (1.5+ million per cycle)
Bone Blossom: 4-5 harvests at 200,000 Sheckles each (800K-1M per cycle)
Maple Resin: 6-7 harvests at 190,000 Sheckles each (1.1+ million per cycle)
Gingerbread Blossom: Strong Christmas event plant for seasonal boost

Focus all your farming efforts on whatever Transcendent crops you currently own. Their superior base values and multi-harvest nature generate Sheckles much faster than common crops.

Method 3: Christmas Event Submissions

The Christmas Harvest Event itself provides an excellent money-making opportunity while you wait for the Reindeer Root to appear in stock:

Plant fast-growing crops (Strawberries, Tomatoes, Carrots)
Wait for Christmas weather events every 10 minutes
Harvest crops with Christmas mutations
Submit mutated crops to the event Present NPC
Receive reward presents that contain Sheckles, items, and pets

Every 200 points submitted grants you an individual reward. The presents can contain millions of Sheckles, valuable gear, or pets you can sell for additional income. This method lets you earn money while simultaneously participating in the event mechanics.

Method 4: Pet-Assisted Automation

High-level pets dramatically accelerate your farming efficiency:

Money-Making Pets:

Fennec Fox: Can apply any mutation randomly, including ultra-rare ones
T-Rex: Same random mutation ability as Fennec Fox
Divine Pets: Enhanced mutation application rates
Raccoon: Steals crops from other plots (controversial but effective)

Set up a garden with your best pets, plant high-value crops, and let the pets work passively while you’re AFK or doing other activities. Return every hour to harvest and sell, then replant and repeat.

Method 5: Trading and Flipping

The trading economy offers opportunities for players skilled in negotiation:

Purchase undervalued seeds, pets, or crops from other players
Hold onto items that are about to become discontinued
Resell at higher prices when demand increases
Focus on event-exclusive items that will increase in value post-event

The Reindeer Root itself will likely become a valuable trading commodity after the Christmas event ends. Some strategic players are purchasing multiple Reindeer Root seeds to resell later at premium prices.

Best Reindeer Root Farming Strategies

Once you successfully acquire the Reindeer Root seed, optimizing its use becomes critical for maximizing your investment.

Optimal Garden Placement

The Reindeer Root’s ability to spread Christmas mutations to nearby crops requires strategic positioning:

Ideal Layout:

[Crop] [Crop] [Crop]
[Crop] [ROOT] [Crop]
[Crop] [Crop] [Crop]

Place your Reindeer Root in the center of your garden with high-value crops surrounding it in all directions. This maximizes the number of adjacent plants that can receive Christmas mutations from the Root’s ability.

Advanced Multi-Root Layout: If you acquire multiple Reindeer Roots, create a checkerboard pattern:

[ROOT] [Crop] [ROOT] [Crop]
[Crop] [ROOT] [Crop] [ROOT]
[ROOT] [Crop] [ROOT] [Crop]

This formation ensures maximum mutation coverage across your entire garden, dramatically increasing your Christmas event point generation.

Synergizing with Christmas Pets

Combine your Reindeer Root with Christmas-themed pets for explosive mutation rates:

Best Pet Combinations:

Reindeer Pet: Applies Snowy mutation to nearby fruits, synergizes with Root’s ability
Red-Nosed Reindeer (Rudolph): Grants XP to pets and applies Ornamented mutation
Polar Bear: 10% chance every 90 seconds to apply Chilled/Frozen status
Ice Golem: Rare Christmas pet with cold-type mutation interactions
Yeti: Christmas event pet with winter mutation abilities

Stack multiple Christmas pets around your Reindeer Root for compound mutation effects. I’ve seen setups where 80%+ of harvested crops have at least one Christmas mutation, massively boosting event submission values.

Multi-Harvest Optimization

As a multi-harvest crop, the Reindeer Root produces fruits repeatedly without replanting. Maximizing these harvests is key:

Harvest Timing:

Check your Reindeer Root every 30-60 minutes during active play sessions
Use the “Favorite” tool to mark it and prevent accidental harvesting
Harvest immediately when fruits appear to start the next growth cycle
Track harvest patterns to predict when the next harvest will complete

Growth Acceleration:

Use Super Watering Cans to speed up growth time
Plant during favorable weather for growth speed bonuses
Position pets with growth-speed buffs near your Reindeer Root
Use the Grandmaster Sprinkler for optimal watering efficiency

Mutation Farming During Christmas Weather

The Reindeer Root becomes most valuable during Christmas weather events:

Event-Timed Strategy:

Monitor for the Christmas weather notification (occurs every ~10 minutes)
Ensure all crops around your Reindeer Root are harvestable
Let the weather event apply mutations
Immediately harvest all mutated crops for event submission
Replant fast-growing crops and wait for the next weather event

This cycle generates maximum Christmas event points while simultaneously earning regular Sheckles from crop sales.

Maximizing Christmas Harvest Event Points

The Reindeer Root’s mutation-spreading ability makes it a powerful tool for the Christmas Harvest Event. Here’s how to leverage it for maximum point generation.

Understanding the Point System

Christmas event points are earned by submitting mutated crops to the Present NPC:

Point Values by Rarity:

Common crops: 1 point per submission
Uncommon crops: 2 points per submission
Rare crops: 5 points per submission
Legendary crops: 12 points per submission
Mythical crops: 25 points per submission
Divine crops: 50 points per submission
Prismatic crops: 75 points per submission
Transcendent crops: 100 points per submission

The Reindeer Root itself, being Transcendent, grants 100 points per harvest when submitted with Christmas mutations. However, its true value lies in applying mutations to surrounding crops.

Fast-Point Generation Strategy

I’ve developed a strategy that consistently generates 1,000+ event points per hour using the Reindeer Root:

Step 1: Create a Fast-Crop Garden Surround your Reindeer Root with fast-growing, high-point crops:

Strawberries (multi-harvest, Uncommon, 2 points each)
Tomatoes (multi-harvest, Uncommon, 2 points each)
Blueberries (quick growth, Common, 1 point each)

Step 2: Christmas Weather Timing Christmas-themed weather occurs approximately every 10 minutes. Set a timer!

Step 3: Synchronized Harvesting Wait for Christmas weather, let all crops get mutated (boosted by Reindeer Root’s ability), then mass-harvest everything.

Step 4: Bulk Submission Submit 20-30 mutated crops at once to fill your personal progress bar faster. Every 200 points earns you an individual reward present.

This cycle repeats every 10 minutes throughout the event, generating consistent points while also earning the Sheckles from crop sales.

Community Milestone Optimization

The Christmas Harvest Event has community-wide milestones that unlock rewards for all players:

Major Milestones:

5,000 total submissions: Unlocks new weather pattern
20,000 total submissions: New items in Santa’s Stash shop
50,000 total submissions: Exclusive pet release
100,000 total submissions: Rare gear item
500,000 total submissions: Prismatic Seed Pack

Your Reindeer Root contributions help the entire server reach these milestones faster. During peak hours, coordinate with other players in your server to focus on event submissions for an hour, pushing through milestone thresholds together.

Mutation Combination Strategies

Stack multiple Christmas mutations on the same crop before submission for bonus points:

High-Value Combinations:

Snowy + Chilled = Frozen mutation (10x multiplier, higher base value)
Wet + Chilled = Frozen mutation (10x multiplier)
Frozen + Additional cold mutations = Sub-zero (15x multiplier)

While the event point value doesn’t change based on mutations, the Sheckle value does. Submit lower-value mutated crops to the event while selling high-value mutation combos for pure profit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Through extensive testing and community observation, I’ve identified critical mistakes that players make when pursuing the Reindeer Root.

Mistake 1: Giving Up Too Early

The 0.11% stock chance is brutal. Many players check the shop 50-100 times, don’t see the Reindeer Root, and assume they’ll never get it.

Reality Check: Statistically, you need to check approximately 888 shop refreshes to have a 63% chance of seeing it once. That’s 888 × 5 minutes = 4,440 minutes = 74 hours of monitoring.

This doesn’t mean actively watching the shop for 74 straight hours! Use Discord notifications, spread checks across multiple days, and stay persistent. The Reindeer Root WILL appear if you’re patient.

Mistake 2: Insufficient Sheckle Preparation

I’ve witnessed players finally catch the Reindeer Root in stock, only to discover they’re 20-30 billion Sheckles short of the purchase price.

Prevention Strategy: Have 150 billion Sheckles ready BEFORE you start seriously hunting for the Reindeer Root. If you’re still accumulating money, focus on farming first and stock-checking second.

Alternatively, keep 1,699 Robux available in your account as emergency backup currency. The heartbreak of missing your chance due to insufficient funds is completely avoidable with preparation.

Mistake 3: Ignoring Server Time

The Christmas Harvest Event has a definite end date. The Reindeer Root is only available during this limited window.

Critical Dates:

Event Start: December 6, 2025
Part 3 (Reindeer Root Release): December 20, 2025
Event End: Late December 2025 (typically around December 27)

If today is December 25th and you still don’t have the Reindeer Root, you may only have 2-3 days remaining. Increase your checking frequency, use multiple devices, and prioritize stock notifications above all else.

Mistake 4: Poor Garden Planning

Some players purchase the Reindeer Root, plant it randomly in their garden, and wonder why they’re not seeing the mutation benefits.

Common Planning Errors:

Planting Reindeer Root in a corner with only 2-3 adjacent plots
Surrounding it with single-harvest crops that require replanting
Placing it far from your active farming area
Not combining it with mutation-enhancing pets

Remember: The Reindeer Root’s value comes primarily from its mutation-spreading ability. Plan your entire garden layout around maximizing this feature.

Mistake 5: Selling Too Early

Given the 150 billion Sheckle cost, some players panic-sell their Reindeer Root harvests to recoup investment costs quickly.

Why This Is Wrong:

Reindeer Root is limited-time and will become unavailable post-event
Its value will likely increase significantly once it becomes discontinued
The mutation-spreading ability generates value indirectly through other crops
Multiple harvests compound your returns exponentially

Hold onto your Reindeer Root throughout the entire event and beyond. The long-term value far exceeds the initial investment when used properly.

Reindeer Root vs Other Christmas Crops

How does the Reindeer Root compare to other Christmas Harvest Event crops? Let’s analyze the competitive landscape.

Vs. Peppermint Vine

Peppermint Vine Stats:

Cost: 100 billion Sheckles or 1,399 Robux
Stock Chance: Similar low percentage
Rarity: Transcendent
Special Ability: Applies peppermint-themed mutations to pets

Comparison: The Peppermint Vine is more affordable but focuses on pet mutations rather than crop mutations. If you’re primarily event-focused, the Reindeer Root provides better synergy with the Christmas Harvest submission mechanics.

For players focused on pet progression, the Peppermint Vine might be more valuable. Ideally, acquire both if possible.

Vs. Gingerbread Blossom

Gingerbread Blossom Stats:

Cost: Free (Advent Calendar reward)
Rarity: Transcendent
Availability: Complete 19 daily missions
Value: Extremely high base value

Comparison: The Gingerbread Blossom is technically “free” but requires consistent daily participation throughout the entire event. It serves as an excellent complement to the Reindeer Root rather than a replacement.

Use your Gingerbread Blossom as a high-value submission crop during the event, while your Reindeer Root enhances mutations on surrounding plants.

Vs. Great Pumpkin

Great Pumpkin Stats:

Cost: 115 billion Sheckles or 1,199 Robux
Stock Chance: Previously 1/888 (now increased)
Special Ability: Applies Ghostly mutation (28x)
Seasonal: Halloween event

Comparison: The Great Pumpkin was the previous “must-have” limited Transcendent crop. While no longer available, it set the precedent for crops like the Reindeer Root.

The Reindeer Root has a similar acquisition difficulty but with Christmas-themed abilities. Players who missed the Great Pumpkin should absolutely pursue the Reindeer Root as the next equivalent opportunity.

Overall Christmas Crop Priority

If you can only afford one Christmas crop, here’s my recommended priority:

Gingerbread Blossom – Free through Advent Calendar, excellent value
Reindeer Root – Mutation-spreading ability, event synergy
Peppermint Vine – Pet-focused players, slightly more affordable
Spirit Sparkle – Same 1/888 stock chance, different type combination

For maximum event optimization, acquire both Gingerbread Blossom and Reindeer Root at minimum.

Trading for Reindeer Root

If the Seed Shop stock chance proves too frustrating, or if the event ends before you secure one, trading becomes an alternative acquisition method.

Trading Basics

The Grow a Garden trading system requires Trading Tickets:

How to Trade:

Purchase Trading Tickets from Gear Shop (100,000 Sheckles or 19 Robux each)
Find a player with Reindeer Root seeds or plants
Open trade interface and negotiate terms
Complete the trade using Sheckles, seeds, pets, or other items as currency

Trading Tickets are consumed per trade, so factor this cost into your negotiations.

Reindeer Root Trading Values

Based on current market trends in the trading community:

Current Trading Values (January 2025):

Reindeer Root Seed: 200-250 billion Sheckles
Reindeer Root Plant (grown): 300-400 billion Sheckles
Reindeer Root with mutations: 500+ billion Sheckles

These values significantly exceed the original 150 billion Sheckle shop price. This premium reflects:

The difficulty of obtaining it from shop stock
Time investment required for stock hunting
Limited availability during event window
High demand from players who missed it

Trading vs Shop Purchase

Let’s break down the cost-benefit:

Shop Purchase:

Base cost: 150 billion Sheckles
Time cost: 50-100+ hours of shop monitoring
Success rate: Eventually guaranteed with persistence
Discord notification setup required

Trading Purchase:

Base cost: 200-250 billion Sheckles minimum
Time cost: 1-2 hours of trading negotiation
Success rate: Immediate if you find a willing seller
No stock monitoring required

For players with excess Sheckles but limited time, trading offers a faster path. For players with time but less money, shop monitoring is more economical.

Best Trading Practices

Follow these guidelines to avoid scams and get fair trades:

Verification Steps:

Check the trader’s reputation in Discord trading channels
Use middleman services for high-value trades
Never trade with accounts less than 30 days old
Record video evidence of the trade interaction
Report suspicious behavior immediately

Negotiation Tips:

Research current market prices before offering
Be willing to walk away from bad deals
Offer multiple items rather than just Sheckles (seeds + pets + gear packages)
Build relationships with trusted traders for future opportunities

Post-Event Trading: Reindeer Root values will likely spike dramatically once the Christmas event ends and no new supply enters the market. Consider this when deciding whether to trade for one during the event or wait.

Advanced Optimization Techniques

For veteran players seeking to maximize every aspect of their Reindeer Root investment, these advanced techniques push optimization to the limit.

Mutation Chain Reactions

The Reindeer Root’s ability to spread Christmas mutations can trigger chain reactions with other mutation mechanics:

Setup:

Plant Reindeer Root in center
Surround with crops that have weather-reactive mutations
Place pets that apply additional mutations (Fennec Fox, T-Rex)
Wait for Christmas weather + rain + thunder simultaneously

Result: Crops can achieve 3-4 simultaneous mutations, creating multiplicative value:

Christmas mutation (3x-20x)
Weather mutation (2x-30x)
Pet-applied mutation (5x-90x)
Random mutation (20x-50x)

A single perfectly mutated crop can exceed 100 million Sheckles in value.

Multi-Account Synergy

Advanced players use multiple accounts for compound benefits:

Strategy:

Main account: Primary Reindeer Root garden
Alt account 1: Different server monitoring for stock notifications
Alt account 2: Trading mule for acquiring additional Reindeer Roots

Each account checks different servers, multiplying your stock encounter chances. When one account finds the Reindeer Root in stock, all accounts can potentially purchase if they have currency ready.

Ethical Consideration: This strategy is legitimate but controversial. Ensure you follow Grow a Garden’s terms of service regarding multiple accounts.

Seasonal Timing Exploitation

The Christmas Harvest Event has specific peak and off-peak hours:

Peak Hours (Higher Competition):

6 PM – 10 PM EST weekdays
12 PM – 11 PM EST weekends
During live Dev events or announcements

Off-Peak Hours (Lower Competition):

2 AM – 8 AM EST all days
Weekday mornings (8 AM – 12 PM EST)
During major competing Roblox game updates

Setting an alarm for 3 AM EST to check shops during off-peak windows can give you uncontested access when the Reindeer Root appears. Fewer players online means less competition for limited stock.

Stock Prediction Patterns

Through extensive data collection, some community members have identified potential patterns:

Observed Trends:

Transcendent seeds appear more frequently after server restarts
First shop refresh after hourly mark shows slightly higher rates
Stock seems to cluster—if one Transcendent appears, others more likely within 30 minutes

While not scientifically proven, these observations inform strategic checking times.

Weight Optimization

The Reindeer Root’s weight affects its value:

Weight Mechanics:

Average Weight: 8.00 kg
Price-Floor Weight: 7.60 kg
Huge Chance: 0.33%

Use weight-enhancing items and pets to increase harvest weight:

Hippo Pet: Increases fruit weight substantially
Divine pets: Higher average weight multipliers
Weight-boosting gears and sprays

A Reindeer Root harvest at maximum weight can be worth 2-3x more than minimum weight harvests.

Reindeer Root After the Event

What happens to your Reindeer Root once the Christmas Harvest Event ends? Understanding post-event value is crucial for long-term planning.

Discontinued Status

Once the event concludes, the Reindeer Root becomes permanently unavailable through the Seed Shop. This discontinued status dramatically affects its value and rarity.

Historical Precedent: Previous limited Transcendent crops have increased in trading value by 300-500% after becoming discontinued. The Great Pumpkin, originally 115 billion Sheckles, now trades for 400+ billion Sheckles or equivalent value in rare pets and items.

Expect similar appreciation for the Reindeer Root in the months following the event.

Post-Event Functionality

The Reindeer Root’s Christmas mutation ability raises questions about post-event functionality:

Confirmed Information:

The plant itself remains functional and harvestable
Multi-harvest ability continues working
Christmas-type crop classification remains

Uncertain Information:

Whether the mutation-spreading ability continues working outside Christmas season
If Christmas weather events will occur post-event
How the ability interacts with future Christmas events

Until official developer confirmation, assume the mutation ability may become seasonal or inactive outside Christmas periods.

Long-Term Value Retention

The Reindeer Root maintains value through multiple factors:

Permanent Value Drivers:

Base crop value (135,000-150,000 Sheckles per harvest)
Multi-harvest capability for ongoing income
Transcendent rarity status
Collector appeal
Trading commodity status

Even if the mutation ability becomes inactive, the Reindeer Root’s base economics justify keeping it as a farming crop.

Investment Strategy

Here’s my recommendation for handling your Reindeer Root post-event:

For Collectors: Keep at least one Reindeer Root permanently. Its discontinued status makes it a trophy item that appreciates over time.

For Traders: If you acquired multiple Reindeer Roots, hold them for 2-3 months post-event, then trade when values peak. Historical data suggests maximum trading values occur 2-4 months after discontinuation.

For Farmers: Continue using your Reindeer Root as a reliable income source. The multi-harvest mechanics provide consistent Sheckles regardless of event status.
