Blight Mutation Guide - Grow a Garden
By Paquito Jr Conde | October 21, 2025
Overview
Blight applies an 8× sell-value multiplier to affected fruits. It was added with the Ghoul Garden and Halloween content and relies on a pet-based area effect to spread. The effect is periodic and works on plants inside the pet’s range. Blight can combine with other mutations to form higher-tier variants. Because of the high multiplier, it is most valuable on already-expensive or repeat-harvest crops.
How to Obtain Blight
- Obtain the Dark Spriggan pet, often offered during Halloween or Ghoul Garden events.
- Keep the Dark Spriggan near the crops you want affected so its area passive can trigger.
- When the pet’s passive activates, nearby fruits have a chance to become Blighted.
Mechanics and Numbers
- Multiplier: 8× sell-value on Blighted fruits.
- Range and Trigger: The pet creates a periodic area effect; only plants inside that area while it triggers can change.
- Chance: Around 15–30% chance to receive Blight when the pet effect hits a fruit.
- Release Date: Added during the Ghoul Garden and Halloween update on October 18, 2025.
Appearance
Blight has a sickly, decayed look with yellow-green particle effects around the fruit. When combined with other mutations the colors mix and make the crop stand out. The visual cue makes it easy to spot Blighted plants when you walk your garden.
Blight can stack or combine with some other mutations to form higher-value variants. These combos may change appearance and overall sell multipliers. Use Blight on high-base-value crops to get the best return. Because the effect is pet-area based, placing the pet where many valuable plants sit will maximize profit.
