How to Get the New Admin War Pets?

Skyroot Chest Method

There are two ways to get the brand new pets – either from the Skyroot chest or from the Friendship shop. The Skyroot chest can be bought from the Friendship shop for 1,500,000 Sheckles, or you can craft it on the crafting station to the side.

The Skyroot Chest is your primary source for three of the new pets:

  • Griffin (5% drop rate)
  • Mandrake (15% drop rate)
  • Elk (30% drop rate)

Pro Tip: I recommend crafting Skyroot Chests instead of buying them. You’ll need:

  • 10 Skyroot Seeds
  • 5 Cloud Essence
  • 3 Ancient Bark
  • 50,000 Sheckles crafting fee

Friendship Shop Direct Purchase

While the Friendship shop stocks a single pet in its catalogue, the Gnome. You can purchase the Gnome directly for 1,500,000 Sheckles – no RNG required!

Admin War Event Rewards

Jandel has mentioned several rewards including a Peach Wasp, Lemon Lion, Apple Gazelle, Green Bean Pet, and a Golden Beanstalk Seed. These exclusive pets are only available during the Admin War event and require you to:

  1. Wear the Green Bean Outfit – Obtain from Elder Bean NPC
  2. Participate in Admin Abuse – Join during scheduled times
  3. Complete Event Objectives – Various challenges during the war

Special Unlock Conditions

If the game reaches 2.5-3 million concurrent players during the admin war, the leaked Chicken Zombie pet will be unlocked for all participants. This creates an exciting community goal where everyone benefits!

Detailed Pet Analysis & Strategies

1. Griffin – The Cyclone Master

Griffin: – Every 15 minutes, it starts a Cyclone and if pets are struck, their passive cooldowns are advanced by 60s – While if fruits are struck, they have a 10% chance to be cyclonic

The Griffin is undoubtedly the star of this update. Its dual-purpose ability makes it incredibly versatile:

Optimal Strategy:

  • Position Griffin centrally in your garden
  • Surround it with high-value pets like Disco Bee or Dragonfly
  • Plant Romanesco or Elder Strawberry nearby for maximum cyclonic profits

Synergy Combinations:

  • Griffin + Queen Bee = Rapid cooldown cycling
  • Griffin + Raccoon = Steal resets for endless profits
  • Griffin + T-Rex = Mutation spreading chaos

2. Gnome – The Scaling Wonder

Gnome: – Every 9.57 minutes has a 1.05% chance to mutate a random fruit with Gnomed mutation – This chance increases by 1.05% for every Gnome cosmetic present in your garden

The Gnome introduces Grow a Garden’s first cosmetic-scaling mechanic:

Maximization Tips:

  • Collect all gnome cosmetics from past events
  • Each gnome decoration adds 1.05% to mutation chance
  • With 20 gnomes, you get 22% mutation chance!

Best Gnome Cosmetics to Use:

  1. Garden Gnome Classic (Shop – 10k)
  2. Zen Gnome (Zen Event)
  3. Prehistoric Gnome (Dino Event)
  4. Golden Gnome (Premium Shop)

3. Mandrake – The Targeted Rotter

Mandrake: Harvesting Mandrake crops has a 3.57% chance to apply the Rot mutation to a random fruit in your garden

This pet creates a unique synergy loop:

Mandrake Farming Setup:

  1. Plant 20+ Mandrake seeds
  2. Use Advanced Sprinklers
  3. Harvest rapidly for mutation chances
  4. Rot mutation adds 15x value multiplier

4. Elk – The Berry Protector

Elk: There’s a 2.54% chance that berry fruits stay after being collected

While seemingly simple, the Elk has hidden value:

Berry Optimization:

  • Focus on high-value berries (Elderberry, Cloudberry)
  • Combine with Golden Goose for fortune stacking
  • Use during berry-focused events

FAYour Burning Questions Answered

Can I still get Admin War pets after the event? Yes, all Admin War rewards including exclusive pets and seeds can be traded. However, they cannot be obtained directly.

Do I need all pets to compete? No! Even one or two new pets significantly boost your garden’s efficiency. Focus on pets that match your playstyle.

What’s the best investment pet? Griffin offers immediate utility and long-term value. For collectors, any Admin War exclusive will appreciate significantly.

How do mutations stack with new pets? Mutations multiply together. Griffin’s Cyclonic (10x) + Rainbow mutation (70x) = 700x total multiplier!

Will Chicken Zombie return if we don’t unlock it? Unknown, but historically, community milestone rewards have been one-time opportunities.
