The Nutty Fever Event is a exciting, player-triggered autumn festival in Grow a Garden that fills the lobby with falling acorns and supercharges your Chubby Chipmunk. Unlike passive events, Nutty Fever requires a coordinated effort to start, but the rewards for doing so are immense. This guide will walk you through how to trigger the event, maximize your points, and capitalize on the chaotic few minutes it provides.
What is the Nutty Fever Event?
Nutty Fever is a limited-time event that, when active, transforms the entire game lobby. The sky turns a warm brown, and Acorns rain down across the area. The most significant effect is on the Chubby Chipmunk, whose feeding cooldown is drastically reduced, allowing it to gain weight at an incredible rate. It’s the key to fast-tracking your progress in the autumn-themed update.
How to Trigger the Nutty Fever Event
The event does not start on its own; you must manually trigger it by contributing to the community goal.
Harvest Your Garden: Before you begin, ensure you have a full inventory. Harvest all the crops from your garden until your bag is full.
Locate Nuts NPC: Go to the central lobby area and find the Nuts NPC.
Submit All Fruit: Interact with the Nuts NPC using the ‘E’ key and select the “Submit All Fruit” option. This will donate your entire inventory of crops at once towards the event progress bar.
Understanding the Event Progress Bar
Above the Nuts NPC’s head, you will see a progress bar that fills up as players donate their crops. Each fruit you submit contributes points based on its rarity:
Common: 2 Points
Uncommon: 3 Points
Rare: 4 Points
Legendary: 5 Points
Mythical: 6 Points
Divine: 7 Points
Prismatic: 8 Points
Transcendent: 9 Points
Once the community collectively reaches a total of 1500 points, the Nutty Fever event will automatically begin for everyone in the server.
What to Do During Nutty Fever
Once the sky changes color, it’s time to spring into action.
Supercharged Chubby Chipmunk: Your Chubby Chipmunk’s passive trait cooldown is significantly reduced. It will eat much more frequently, causing it to gain weight rapidly and spawn Acorns almost non-stop.
Collect Falling Acorns: Acorns will spawn all over the lobby at a much faster rate. Stay active and run around to collect as many as possible. These are crucial for earning rewards from the event’s tier track.
Reap Exclusive Rewards: The event reward track, progressed by collecting Acorns, offers exclusive prizes like unique cosmetics, rare seeds, and special pets.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Nutty Fever
To get the most out of this event, follow these strategies:
Submit High-Rarity Crops: Donating higher-rarity fruits is the most efficient way to trigger the event quickly. A single inventory of Transcendent plants will contribute far more than Common ones.
Stay Active and Alert: The event duration is limited. Once it starts, focus entirely on collecting the Acorns that spawn rapidly throughout the lobby.
Coordinate with Others: On social media or in-game chat, coordinate with other players to donate at the same time. A coordinated effort can fill the 1500-point bar in moments.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Can I trigger the Nutty Fever event alone?
A: While possible, it would require a massive amount of crops. It is designed as a community goal, so it’s best to contribute when other players are also donating.
Q: What is the main benefit of the event?
A: The two main benefits are the drastically increased growth rate of your Chubby Chipmunk and the high frequency of Acorn spawns, allowing you to fly through the reward track.
Q: How long does the Nutty Fever event last?
A: The event lasts for a limited time. It’s important to be ready to collect Acorns as soon as it starts.
Q: Do I need to have a Chubby Chipmunk to participate?
A: While you can still help trigger the event and collect Acorns without one, having a Chubby Chipmunk is essential to benefit from its supercharged feeding and weight gain.
