The Kitsune Quest Grow a Garden event introduces a new balance mechanic centered on Corrupt and Tranquil fruits. Completing this quest efficiently and understanding mutation tips is key for players seeking the best rewards, including rare pets and plants.
What Is the Kitsune Quest in Grow a Garden?
In the latest Grow a Garden update, the Kitsune Quest stands out as a major challenge built around the game’s new Corrupted mechanics. The Kitsune NPC can be found at the center of the lobby, serving as the quest hub. To finish the Kitsune Quest, players must deliver six Corrupt-mutation fruits and six Tranquil-mutation fruits to Kitsune.
The hand-in process is simple:
Hold the mutated fruit you want to submit
Approach the Kitsune NPC
Press E and select “Take this plant”
Each fruit submitted fills the corresponding side of the quest bar—red for Corrupt, blue for Tranquil. The quest is complete when both sides reach six, totaling twelve mutated fruits delivered.
Corrupted and Tranquil Mutation Tips for Grow a Garden
Speeding up the Kitsune Quest depends on efficient fruit mutation and knowing how the system works. Here are the most effective mutation strategies:
Dual-mutation fruits: If you manage to grow a fruit with both Corrupt and Tranquil mutations, it counts toward both quest sides at once. Waiting for a fruit to gain dual mutations before picking and submitting it is the fastest way to progress.
Tranquil mutation is more common: Zen Aura events (which encourage Tranquil mutation) appear more frequently than Corrupted Aura events, making Tranquil fruits easier to obtain. Use Tranquil fruits to plant Corrupted Trees, increasing your supply of Corrupt fruits over time.
Use mutation gear: Tools like Corrupt Staff, Tranquil Staff, and both types of Mutation Spray significantly increase your mutation rate and help target the desired mutation, speeding up quest completion.
Combining these tips reduces grind and maximizes your chances for successful dual-mutation harvests.
Kitsune Quest Rewards and Repeatability
Completing the Kitsune Quest earns you a random reward from Kitsune. The possible prizes include:
Maneki Neko (chance to refund fruit to inventory)
Dezen (Zen Uncommon plant)
Kodama (increases chance of Tranquil mutation on Zen fruit)
Lucky Bamboo (Zen Legendary plant)
Corrupted Kitsune (unique pet)
Tranquil Bloom (Zen Prismatic plant)
The rarest rewards, Corrupted Kitsune and Tranquil Bloom, each have just a 1% drop chance. After claiming your reward, the quest progress resets, allowing you to attempt the Kitsune Quest again for more prizes.
Final Thoughts
Finishing the Kitsune Quest Grow a Garden is about balancing Corrupt and Tranquil fruit submissions and using mutation tips to streamline your progress. Focus on dual-mutation fruit when possible, utilize the right mutation tools, and take advantage of Tranquil mutations for a faster path to completion. With each quest cycle, you get a shot at rare rewards and exclusive pets, making this event a key part of your Grow a Garden experience.
