Unlocking the Night Staff in Grow A Garden: How to Get It & Use It3 min read

In Grow A Garden, the Night Staff is beneficial to boost your gardening skills. It lets you control weather-driven crop mutations, greatly raising the crops’ worth.

Getting the Night Staff

You must patiently wait for the Sky Merchant, who appears by balloon, in order to get the Night Staff. You’ll need to use your wait to locate him as he only shows up once every four hours. 

 He normally has the Night Staff in his inventory when he gets there. 

When purchased from the Sky Merchant, this item costs 12,000,000 Sheckles (or the same amount in Robux). Note: Other weather-tool alternatives, such as the Tanning Mirror and Lightning Rod, are available through crafting and, in certain cases, may be more affordable or effective. Get Sheckles fast and skip the grind.

How to Use the Night Staff

After buying the Night Staff, you must dress it and set it up in your garden. When the tool is in place, a radius around it shows you which plants may be affected. To place the crew in the planting area, click or tap a spot on the garden floor.

After that, you wait for the correct weather: in this example, “night” or perhaps “blood moon” weather, to start the mutation impact on plants nearby. On six chosen at random plants within its range, the Night Staff provides the Moonlit mutation. While you can arrange a few of these tools in your garden, it could slow down the mutation process if you stack a lot of them next to each other.

Why It’s Worth It

The main reason for using the Night Staff (as well as other mutation-tools) is that layering mutations on each plant often results in a value that is millions or even billions of Sheckles, far more than that of typical crops. Buy powerful pets to boost your garden.

The real power is in stacking it with more mutations, even if the Night Staff’s basic multiplier (Moonlit) is just twice a plant’s base value. You could truly maximize the yield of your garden if you properly mix it with other tools (like the Star Caller, which has an even greater multiplier and provides Celestial mutation).

Tips & Best Practices

• Have patience: Hold off on expanding your garden until the Sky Merchant lands.
• Optimize placement: To obtain the most impact, position the staff where a lot of plants fall inside its radius. Check all weather & admin events in Grow a Garden.

• Mix tools: To disperse risk and boost value, utilize a range of mutation-tools rather than depending just on one.

• Be mindful about your spending: If you don’t have enough money yet, think about building simpler gadgets as stepping stones, like the Lighting Rod or Tanning Mirror.

• Keep your garden organized so that tools can work effectively. Having too many tools in one spot will slow down the mutation process.

• Since many of these mutation-tools need specific weather conditions (such as night, blood moon, thunderstorm, etc.), keep a watch on weather activities.
