The Smithing Event Update

The Smithing Event is the star of the month, and players are already uncovering fresh potential for rare mutations thanks to new systems and tools.

What’s New in the Update?

New Smithing Weather Events

Expect forging-themed weather or special admin events. These will likely be tied to brand-new, limited-time mutations.

Gem Egg Pets

Pets from the new Gem Egg may come with unique passive abilities, potentially unlocking new high-value mutations or making existing combination mutations far easier to achieve.

Crafting Mechanics

The update introduces in-game crafting for seeds, pets, and gear. Some new items may include passive boosts to mutation rates, particularly for material-based types like the rumored Ceramic mutation (linked to clay + heat).

Basic & Intermediate Mutations

These dependable early- and mid-game mutations form the foundation of any solid garden. No fancy events needed—just steady weather and basic gear.
