Players submit Tranquil-mutated fruits to the Corrupt Channeler NPC to earn Corruption Points that grow the Corrupt Tree at the center hub. As corruption levels increase, players unlock further mutations and clear tiered rewards. Each hourly Zen event resets corruption progression.
Additionally, to balance cosmic energies, gardeners must submit six Corrupt and six Tranquil fruits each to the Kitsune NPC, who stands in the lobby. Completing this balancing act unlocks special rewards including seeds and high-tier pets.
New Seeds
Six new seeds have joined the game with this update:
Sakura Bush, Dezen, Lucky Bamboo, Enkaku, Tranquil Bloom, and Elder Strawberry (plus Fruitball linked to the Travis Kelce event).Lucky Bamboo is particularly lucrative with an average sell price of ~110,000; Enkaku clocks ~77,000; Elder Strawberry hovers around ~81,000.Some seeds drop via Kitsune Chests, others directly from the Corrupt Channeler or Zen shop.
Corrupted Kitsune Pet
Arguably the star of the update is the Corrupted Kitsune, a rare and exotic pet rumored to drop from Kitsune Chest or Exotic Kitsune Chest, with only a 1 per cent chance—making it one of the rarest pets so far.
Its passive ability is devastating: it removes nine existing mutations from nine different fruits on your plot and then applies Corrupted Chakra to one random fruit—sometimes upgrading to Foxfire Chakra, a much rarer aura. It’s also among the most hunger‑demanding pets, requiring ~50,000 hunger units.
Corrupt Staff: Operates like Star Caller, granting Corrupt mutation to nearby plants during Corrupt Aura events.
Corrupt Mutation Spray: Allows you to manually apply Corrupt mutation to a selected crop.
Corrupted Pet Mutation Shard: Available in the Zen shop using Chi points or Robux, to give pets Corrupt mutation traits.
Corrupted Kodama Pet: A rare spawn with ~4.35 per cent chance from Corrupt Tree rewards, with a 4 per cent chance to mutate crops at harvest.
