The Corruption Points Grow a Garden mechanic is a central feature in the Corrupted Event, offering a new pathway to rare plants, pets, and powerful mutation tools. Understanding how to get Corruption Points in Grow a Garden and how the Corrupted Tree works can dramatically increase your event rewards and unlock exclusive content.
What Are Corruption Points and How to Get Them?
Corruption Points are a special currency in Grow a Garden, introduced in the Corrupted Event. Players earn these points by submitting Tranquil-mutation fruits along with Sheckles to the Corrupt Channeller NPC. Each successful submission—one Tranquil fruit plus the Sheckles fee—grants 1 Corruption Point.
To begin collecting Corruption Points:
Obtain Tranquil-mutation fruit. These can be generated by:
Participating in the Zen Aura Event
Using Tranquil Staff or Tranquil Spray
Utilizing pets with Tranquil mutation abilities, such as Tanchozuru
Visit the Corrupt Channeller NPC, found in the main event area.
Press E to open the NPC’s dialogue menu.
Use the “Submit requirement” option to hand over the requested fruit and Sheckles, earning your point.
Efficient farming of Tranquil fruits is essential—utilize all tools at your disposal, especially Tranquil Staff, Mutation Sprays, and any relevant pets to keep your supply steady.
How the Corrupted Tree Works
Located directly opposite the Zen Tree in the center of the map, the Corrupted Tree is the visual representation of your accumulated Corruption Points. As you deliver more Tranquil fruits and Sheckles, the tree grows, showing your progress.
Every hour, the Corrupted Tree resets and grants a burst of Corrupt mutation to random plants in your garden. The more Corruption Points you’ve collected, the more fruits receive the Corrupt mutation during this reset. This mechanic provides a strong incentive to keep submitting fruits, as each cycle increases your chances of earning powerful mutated crops and, ultimately, rare rewards.
Rewards from Corrupt Channeller NPC
Each time you submit the required Tranquil fruit and Sheckles, you not only advance the Corrupted Tree but also receive a random prize. Here are the available rewards and their drop rates:
Zen Egg (17.39%): Used to hatch Zen pets
Chi Points (17.39%): Currency for Zen Shop purchases
Corrupted Zen Crate (13.04%): Unlocks Corrupted cosmetics
Corrupt Staff (8.7%): Gives Corrupt mutation to nearby plants, with 6 uses
Mutation Spray Tranquil (8.7%): Instantly mutates a plant to Tranquil
Mutation Spray Corrupt (8.7%): Instantly mutates a plant to Corrupt
Tranquil Staff (8.7%): Tranquil mutation tool with 6 uses
Zen Seed Pack (8.7%): Grants Zen plants
Corrupted Kodama (4.35%): Pet with a 4% chance to trigger Corrupt mutation on harvest
Enkaku Seed (4.35%): Legendary plant with strong stats and yield
The rarest and most valuable rewards—Corrupted Kodama pet and Enkaku Seed—have the lowest drop rates at 4.35%, so persistence and frequent submissions are key for collectors and competitive players.
Tips to Maximize Corruption Points and Rewards
To get the most out of this event system:
Prioritize Tranquil fruit production. Take advantage of every Zen Aura Event and always equip or use Tranquil Staff, Tranquil Spray, and relevant pets to maximize your daily haul.
Deliver fruits and Sheckles frequently to the Corrupt Channeller NPC. The more points you accumulate before each reset, the greater your chances for large-scale Corrupt mutations and rare drops.
Target rare rewards. Focus your efforts on maximizing submissions if you’re chasing the Corrupted Kodama or Enkaku Seed, as both have limited drop rates.
Plan around the hourly reset. Time your submissions so you always get the most out of the Corrupted Tree’s hourly burst, especially if you want to stack Corrupt mutations on key crops.
Final Thoughts
Mastering the Corruption Points Grow a Garden system is your ticket to exclusive rewards in the Corrupted Event. By farming Tranquil fruits, submitting them with Sheckles to the Corrupt Channeller NPC, and tracking your Corrupted Tree growth, you open up powerful mutation effects and rare plants or pets. Stay consistent, aim for high-volume submissions, and take advantage of every hourly reset to build the most mutated, profitable garden possible.
