Grow a Garden: Complete Connoisseur Event Guide

For the second weekly event in August, titled “Grow a Garden,” is now active, following up on last week’s cooking-themed event. As anticipated, this event continues where we left off, offering rewards from Chris P.’s Kitchen as well as an opportunity to obtain the Culinarian Chest and other treats from the Rat Connoisseur.

In addition, this guide will explain the offerings of the Connoisseur event, provide instructions on initiating the Kitchen Storm event, and outline the steps to acquire Mutated Foods for the Rat Connoisseur.

( This guide explains what you get in the Connoisseur event, shows you how to start the Kitchen Storm event, and tells you how to earn Mutated Foods for the Rat Connoisseur.)

Rat Connoisseur

Initially, we have the Rat Gourmet positioned next to Chris P.’s Kitchen. He’s somewhat similar to the animated character Remy from Pixar’s Ratatouille, but in a Roblox-like fashion. His role is to evaluate your culinary abilities, so you’ll have to prepare Altered Dishes for him. In exchange, he will offer you a selection of three random rewards to choose from.

How to Make Mutated Food in Grow a Garden

In the game “Grow a Garden“, you can create Mutated Foods by incorporating ingredients that have undergone mutations, primarily Aromatic plants. It’s true that foods with higher mutations may boost your chances of obtaining these dishes, but including more Aromatic items ensures it without fail.

To clarify, you can look at the mutation indicator above the cooking pot to determine if your upcoming meal will be regular or altered. The position indicates this: a red line signifies non-mutated food, while a green bar suggests that it’s mutated. Moreover, there is sometimes a lucky cook scenario where your food automatically transforms into a mutated version.

Chris P.’S Kitchen & The New Kitchen Storm

Afterward, as long as the charming chef Chris P. remains present, he not only caters to his patrons’ desires every hour but also introduces a special Kitchen Storm event to accelerate your cooking process. Simply provide him with any dish (even random ones) until he accumulates 40 points and elevates the kitchen to the next level.

In the game Grow a Garden, when you elevate your kitchen to level 1, the Kitchen Chaos event commences. However, the duration of this event is shorter at this initial stage. Mythical and Prismatic meals offer different point values – eight for mythical and nine for prismatic. Yet, the size of the meal can influence the points you receive.

To ensure its longevity, you have the option to enhance your kitchen a maximum of four times, accumulating a total of 160 points. The advantage here is that all players on the server can participate, collectively speeding up and making more frequent the occurrence of the Kitchen Frenzy.

As you progress through the stages of the Kitchen Chaos incident, your cooking pace accelerates, and you have a higher likelihood of encountering rare, fragrant Mutation Fruits.

  • 1.5x at Level 1
  • 2.5x at Level 2
  • 3x at Level 3
  • 3.5x at Level 4

How to Get Aromatic Fruits in Grow a Garden

During the Kitchen Storm, players may find Aromatic fruits growing in their gardens, for the storm transforms many fruits into this unique version. Don’t forget to progress the event meter and serve delicious meals to Chris P., ensuring that the event continues.

In Grow a Garden, you could utilize an Aromatic Pet Mutation Shard on one of your creatures to grant the Aromatic mutation to them, allowing this effect to occur beyond the bounds of the Kitchen event.
