Grow A Garden Ultimate Smithing Event Guide

The Smithing Event has arrived in Grow A Garden, bringing an entirely new crafting system that lets you forge powerful gear, pets, and tools. This limited-time event transforms how you approach farming by introducing coal-based crafting mechanics that can dramatically boost your garden's efficiency.

What Makes the Smithing Event Special?

The Smithing Event introduces four distinct crafting stations that fundamentally change your farming strategy. Unlike previous events, this system requires you to sacrifice existing items to create Coal, the primary currency for all smithing activities. You'll find these stations positioned centrally in your garden area, each serving a specific purpose:

• Pet Crafting Station - Create unique smithing-themed companions
• Cosmetics Station - Forge decorative items and visual enhancements
• Gear Station - Craft powerful farming tools and equipment
• Seeds Station - Unlock exclusive plant varieties

How Coal Generation Actually Works

Coal generation requires strategic sacrifice of your existing items. The system accepts four specific item types: fruits, seeds, gear, and pets. Here's what you need to know about the submission process:

The rarity of submitted items directly influences your coal quality. When you submit higher-tier items, you'll receive correspondingly valuable coal types:

Essential Gear You Can Craft

The Gear Station offers four game-changing tools that revolutionize your farming efficiency. Each item serves a specific purpose in optimizing your garden operations:

Forger Pet Shard

This enhancement item applies a permanent smithing bonus to any pet you choose. The "weight of a smith" blessing significantly improves that pet's farming capabilities, making it perfect for your most valuable companions.

Smith Treat

Provides a substantial XP boost over time to any pet. Unlike instant XP items, this treat creates a sustained experience gain that compounds with your pet's natural activities.

Smith Hammer of Harvest

Automatically harvests all fruits within a designated radius around your character. This tool eliminates the need for manual collection, dramatically speeding up your farming cycles.

Thunder Bringer

Summons lightning bolts that strike your farm area. These lightning strikes can trigger special mutations and provide instant harvesting effects across multiple plants simultaneously.

Exclusive Pets and Their Abilities

The smithing event introduces three unique pets that complement the crafting theme perfectly:

Smithing Dog

This specialized companion actively searches for and digs up additional coal deposits around your garden. The Smithing Dog's coal generation can supplement your manual submissions, providing a passive income stream throughout the event.

Cheetah

Transforms you into a cheetah form for a limited duration. During this transformation, any fruits you harvest gain a chance to receive the Wild Fast mutation, significantly increasing their value and growth speed.

Gem Egg Collection

Contains multiple premium pets including the Ruby Squid and Diamond Panther. These pets offer advanced mutations and bonuses that extend far beyond the smithing event duration.

New Seeds Worth Your Coal

Two exclusive seed varieties become available through the Seeds Station:

Olive Seed

Produces olive plants with unique properties that complement smithing-themed farming strategies. These plants often yield materials useful for future crafting endeavors.

Hollow Bamboo

Fast-growing bamboo variety that provides both decorative value and practical farming benefits. The hollow structure creates interesting interaction opportunities with certain pets and tools.

2. Click the bright yellow Dig Now button
3. Play the excavation mini-game to uncover crates
4. Collect rewards from successfully discovered crates

Coal Farming Strategy

Maximizing your coal generation requires understanding which items provide the best return on investment:

High-Value Submissions

Focus on items you can easily replace or have in abundance. Transcendent and Prismatic tier items generate the most valuable coal, but consider whether you can afford to sacrifice them.

Sustainable Farming Approach

1. Harvest your fastest-growing, lowest-value fruits for submissions
2. Use common pets you've outgrown as sacrifice materials
3. Submit duplicate gear pieces you don't actively use
4. Save your rarest seeds for the final days when you know exactly what you want to craft

Coal Conservation Tips

Plan your crafting priorities before spending coal. The Smith Hammer of Harvest provides the most immediate benefit, while pets offer long-term value that extends beyond the event period.

Event Timeline and Priorities

With only one week available, strategic time management becomes crucial:

Days 1-2: Foundation Building

• Focus on coal generation through item submissions
• Prioritize the Smith Hammer of Harvest for immediate efficiency gains
• Complete daily treasure digging consistently

Days 3-5: Expansion Phase

• Craft your first priority pet (Smithing Dog for passive coal generation)
• Experiment with Thunder Bringer for mutation farming
• Stockpile coal for final day purchases

Days 6-7: Final Push

• Craft remaining high-priority items
• Use any leftover coal on cosmetics or seeds
• Maximize treasure digging attempts

The Smithing Event represents a major shift in Grow A Garden gameplay mechanics. By understanding coal generation, prioritizing essential gear, and maintaining consistent daily participation, you'll maximize your gains from this limited-time opportunity. Focus on sustainable farming strategies that provide long-term benefits even after the event concludes.
