50 Mistakes You Must Avoid in Roblox Grow a Garden's Corrupted Update

The Corrupted Update in Grow a Garden on Roblox, launched July 26, 2025, brings exciting new plants, pets, and mutations but also plenty of pitfalls that can drain your chi, waste Robux, and derail your progress. With the event ending Saturday morning, August 2, 2025, avoiding these 50 mistakes—drawn from expert advice and community insights—will help you farm Zen eggs, snag Kitsunes, and prepare for the upcoming cooking event. Let’s dig in and grow smarter!

Chi and Shop Management

1. Spend Chi on Zen Seed Packs - Farming Zen eggs yields hundreds of packs (e.g., 220 packs from one session), so skip these in the shop.
2. Buy Zen Crates - With 510 crates from farming, they’re not worth your chi.
3. Purchase Zen Gnome Crates - KroBlox amassed 525 crates farming eggs, so don’t waste chi here.
4. Waste Chi on Mutation Shards - At 200 chi each, they often fail to trigger corruption, wasting resources.
5. Buy Excessive Tranquil Radars - Only get what you need; they’re useless post-event.
6. Stock Up on Corrupt Radars - Limit purchases to avoid leftover inventory after August 2.
7. Buy Soft Sunshine with Chi - These are low-value; save chi for high-impact items.
8. Purchase Spite Mango - Easily obtained through farming, so don’t spend chi.
9. Spend Chi on Elder Strawberry Seeds - Outclassed by Bone Blossom or Candy Blossom, they’re not worth it.
10. Waste Robux on Seed Packs - Free farming yields hundreds of packs, saving real money.
11. Spend Robux on Egg Packs - KroBlox got hundreds of eggs for free, so avoid these purchases.
12. Let Chi Go to Waste - Use all chi before the event ends, even on Zen flares if needed (e.g., KroBlox used 4,000 chi).
13. Ignore Shop Resets - Reset daily to grab koi or rare items; don’t miss free refreshes.
14. Buy Items Without Checking Value - Assess shop items’ worth to avoid wasting chi on low-return purchases.
15. Overstock Low-Value Items - Don’t hoard items like Dezen that lose value post-event.

Event and Pet Farming

16. Trade for Kodamas Now - Their value drops as the event ends; wait or skip trading.
17. Hold Kodamas After Farming - Trade them away if you’re done farming Zen eggs to avoid worthless inventory.
18. Trade for Kitsunes Early - Wait until Saturday when Corrupted and Regular Kitsune values are lowest.
19. Ignore Koi Purchases - Buy koi from the Zen shop; they boost Zen egg drops significantly.
20. Use Fewer Than Eight Koi - Eight koi can yield up to five bonus Zen eggs per run, maximizing efficiency.
21. Farm Kitsunes Without Koi - Koi are essential for efficient Zen egg farming; don’t skip them.
22. Neglect Zen Egg Farming - Prioritize eggs for Kitsunes and crates before the event ends.
23. Trade Without Trading Update - Use the trading system to avoid scams, especially for Kitsunes.
24. Overvalue Corrupted Kitsunes - Their value decreases as more flood the market by Saturday.
25. Overvalue Regular Kitsunes - Like Corrupted Kitsunes, their value drops as supply grows.

Mutation and Fruit Management

26. Hand In Mixed Mutation Fruits Early - Save fruits with both tranquil and corrupted mutations until both bars need filling.
27. Submit Tranquil Fruits When Bar Is Full - Use corrupted-only fruits if the tranquil bar is maxed to save resources.
28. Waste Time on Corrupted Tree - Its slow rewards are less efficient than other mutation methods.
29. Overfarm Craftable Plants - Limit Horsetail, Linganberry, Amber Spine, and Grand Volcania to one each; they’re low-value.
30. Rely on Mutation Shards - Their inconsistent corruption (e.g., “Corruption failed” messages) makes them unreliable.
31. Ignore Mutation Failure Messages - Monitor for “Corruption failed” to avoid wasting fruits.
32. Use Non-Corrupted Fruits for Kitsune - Ensure fruits have Corrupted mutation for Kitsune quests.
33. Neglect Fruit Inventory - Track mutations to avoid wasting valuable fruits on wrong quests.
34. Overfarm Tranquil Fruits - Balance with corrupted fruits to meet Kitsune requirements efficiently.
35. Ignore Corrupted Mutation Sources - Use Corrupted Kodama or Corrupted Aura events for reliable mutations, not just shards.

Garden and Event Preparation

36. Clean Garden Prematurely - Keep Soccer Bushes, Serenities, and Zen Flares until the cooking event’s needs are clear.
37. Delete Serenity Plants Early - These may be useful for the upcoming cooking event; don’t remove them yet.
38. Remove Zen Flares Prematurely - Retain them until the cooking event confirms they’re unneeded.
39. Destroy Soccer Bushes - Hold onto these for potential cooking event recipes.
40. Clear Garden Without Planning - Plan your layout to accommodate potential event overlaps.

Avoiding Glitches and Exploits

41. Abuse Hotspring Glitch - This exploit is likely patched and risks bans; avoid it.
42. Use Any Glitches - Steer clear of game-breaking exploits to protect your account.
43. Attempt to Hack the Game - Cheating can lead to permanent bans and progress loss.
44. Test Unverified Glitches - Avoid glitches from untrusted sources to prevent crashes or bans.
45. Ignore Botting Risks - Botting or joining bot servers violates Roblox ToS and risks penalties; stick to legit play.

General Gameplay and Community Tips

46. Forget Daily Resets - Use daily resets to maximize bonus eggs and rewards.
47. Ignore Daily Quests - Complete quests at Raphael’s stand for free seed packs, even with rare crop requirements.
48. Overfocus on Elder Strawberry - It’s outclassed by high-yield plants like Lucky Bamboo (110K per fruit).
49. Neglect Multi-Harvest Crops - Plant strawberries or blueberries for consistent income over single-harvest crops.
50. Miss the Event Deadline - Farm and trade before Saturday morning to maximize Corrupted Event rewards.
