Specifically during the Safari Harvest season, Grow a Garden’s Ancestral Horn is one of the most thrilling and powerful event goods. Players want this horn because it instantly triggers Safari mutations that normally require time, luck, and patience.
Here’s all you need to know if you’re planning on getting your hands on this rare item.
How to Get the Ancestral Horn
You are unable to buy the Ancestral Horn straightaway. It only comes up during the Safari Harvest event, after everyone has achieved a major worldwide milestone. Call it a cooperative task: each player has to contribute to the global total of 240 billion Safari Harvest points.
The horn stays locked until that number has been reached. Yet the real chase begins the moment the milestone is reached. Level up your garden fast: unlock rare pets that boost harvesting, speed, and mutations, and transform your progress instantly!
The Ancestral Horn in Grow a Garden is initially accessible in the Safari Shop after the unlock. Because of the shop’s rolling timer, the horn may suddenly emerge, vanish, and then reappear.
To boost your chances:
Throughout active play, check the Safari Shop every 10 to 15 minutes.
- Even after earning the milestone, engage in the Safari Harvest event.
- Try to earn Safari points; greater engagement boosts the chance of improved shop rotations.
When the horn shows up, grab it right away. Being one of the most sought-after items at the event, it often sells out with the blink of eye.
How the Ancestral Horn Works
The horn’s magic is simple to learn but quite powerful once you get it. Set it up, blow it, and watch the magic happen. Want guaranteed special plants? Skip and grab premium mutations to supercharge your garden growth and unlock event rewards faster than everyone else.
Each blow of the horn summons a vibrant fairy companion. In your garden, this fairy roams around searching for plants that don’t already have the Safari mutation. Generally, it takes much longer and luck to apply a random Safari mutation, but when it finds a suitable plant, it does so instantaneously.
It’s such as including a little ancestral magic in your garden.
There’s a catch, though.
The fairy is powerless if all of the plants already have Safari mutations. You’ll get a notification stating that the horn use has been wasted because no valid plants were uncovered. Because of this, smart players always keep a few fresh plants unmutated before blowing the horn.
