The Corrupted Update, launched on July 26, 2025, in Grow a Garden on Roblox, introduces a dark twist to the Zen Event, blending chaos with opportunity. This guide covers all aspects of the update, including new seeds, pets, the Corrupted Zen Aura event, and strategies to maximize rewards. Based on insights from sources like Codezzy's YouTube video and community discussions, here’s everything you need to dominate the event before it ends on August 2, 2025.

Overview of the Corrupted Update

The Corrupted Update enhances the Zen Event with a "Yin and Yang" theme, introducing the Corrupt mutation alongside the existing Tranquil mutation. A new Corrupt Channeler NPC drains tranquility, creating a corrupted atmosphere. Key additions include:

New Seeds: Sakura Bush, Elder Strawberry, Lucky Bamboo, Tranquil Bloom, Dezen, and Enkaku.
New Pets: Including the Corrupted Kitsune and Raiju.
Corrupted Zen Aura Event: A 10-minute event every hour with unique mutation mechanics.
Kitsune Chest: Trade Corrupted and Tranquil plants for exclusive rewards.
Corrupt Tree Mechanics: Level up via quests to boost mutation rates.
Cosmetics: New items like Mounted Katanas from the Corrupted Zen Crate.

The event retains the Zen Shop and Chi Coins, ensuring continuity for veteran players. Let’s break down each component.

New Seeds and Plants

The update introduces six new seeds, each with unique yields and purposes. Here’s a detailed look:

Sakura Bush:
- Cost: 14 Corrupted Coins.
- Value: Sells for 25K–43K Sheckles per fruit.
- Notes: Decent for mid-tier profit, visually resembles a blossom tree. Not a top earner but reliable for event quests.
Elder Strawberry:
- Cost: 2,000 Robux (note: some players, like Codezzy, reported purchase issues; check gggamer.net for refund updates).
- Value: Yields 4–5 large berries, each worth ~81K Sheckles.
- Notes: High-value crop, ideal for Sheckle grinding with Universal mutation (175x multiplier).
Lucky Bamboo:
- Cost: 14% chance from Kitsune Chest.
- Value: Sells for 58K–60K Sheckles per fruit (one-time harvest).
- Notes: Visually appealing with root-like structures, but underwhelming for its rarity.
Tranquil Bloom:
- Value: Low Sheckle yield, primarily for Corrupt Channeler quests.
- Notes: Useful for event progression rather than profit.
Dezen:
- Value: ~26K Sheckles per fruit (one-time harvest).
- Notes: Considered low-value and not worth farming for profit.
Enkaku:
- Value: Moderate yield, multiple harvests.
- Notes: Better for event quests than Sheckle farming; limited data due to rarity.

Tip: Focus on Elder Strawberry and Lucky Bamboo for profit. Use Tranquil Bloom and Dezen for Corrupt Channeler quests. Plant in active plots during Corrupted weather to leverage mutation multipliers.

New Pets and Their Abilities

The update adds several pets, with the Corrupted Kitsune as the star. Here’s a breakdown:

Corrupted Kitsune (Prismatic):
- Obtained: Kitsune Chest or Exotic Corrupt Chest (3.02% chance, similar to Radiant mutation).
- Ability: Every 20:53 minutes, launches cursed energy at 9 fruits, each with a 20.35% chance for Corrupted Chakra or a rare Corrupted Foxfire Chakra.
- Value: Boosts mutation rates, significantly increasing crop value.
Raiju:
- Cost: 350 Chi Coins or 750 Robux.
- Ability: During Thunderstorms, devours Shocked-mutated fruits, spawning lightning that applies Static or Shocked mutations to nearby fruits.
- Notes: Expensive but situational; useful for mutation stacking.
Maniki Niko (Uncommon):
- Obtained: Kitsune Chest (high drop rate, frustratingly common per Codezzy).
- Ability: Every 2.5 minutes, grants an 8% chance to refund a fruit to your inventory for 10 seconds (rare fruits have lower refund chance).
- Notes: Underwhelming due to low refund rate.
Kodama:
- Obtained: Kitsune Chest.
- Ability: 4.44% chance for Zen-type fruits to gain Tranquil mutation upon collection.
- Notes: Decent for stacking Tranquil mutations with other pets.

Tip: Prioritize the Corrupted Kitsune for its mutation power. Purchase the Pet Mutation Shard Corrupted (350 Chi or 289 Robux) to add the Corrupted mutation to any pet (requires pet age 50+).

Corrupted Zen Aura Event

The Corrupted Zen Aura Event replaces the regular Zen Aura for 10 minutes hourly, introducing a chaotic red sky with leaves and clouds forming a cylindrical shape.

Mechanics: Red orbs from the Corrupted Zen area apply the Corrupt mutation to fruits they touch. The number of orbs depends on your Corruption Level, increased via Corrupt Channeler quests.
Timer: Check the timer above the Kitsune NPC at the map’s center to prepare.
Maximizing Rewards: Use Corrupt Radars (18 Chi for three) to auto-harvest ripe Corrupted fruits, ensuring you don’t miss mutations.

Tip: AFK during the event with Tranquil-mutated plants to prepare for Channeler quests, then switch to Corrupted plants for harvesting.

Corrupt Channeler Quests

The Corrupt Channeler, located opposite the Zen Channeler, requests Tranquil-mutated plants (e.g., Tranquil Orange Tulip >0.05kg or Tranquil Tomato >0.5kg). Completing quests grows the Corrupt Tree, which resets hourly and applies Corrupt mutations based on its level.

Quest Examples:
- Tranquil Orange Tulip (>0.05kg).
- Tranquil Blueberry (>0.5kg).
- 200M Sheckles (high-cost quest).
Rewards:
- Corrupt Mutation Spray (8.7% chance): Applies Corrupt mutation to one crop.
- Corrupt Staff (8.7% chance): Grants additional Corrupt mutations, despawns after limited uses.
- Zen Egg or Chi Coins.
Strategy: Stockpile Tranquil plants (e.g., tomatoes, watermelons, corn, tulips) during Zen Aura events. Use sprinklers to grow larger plants to meet size requirements.

Tip: The Channeler only requests Tranquil plants, so focus on farming these during Zen Aura events to fulfill quests efficiently.

Kitsune Chest and Trading

The Kitsune NPC at the map’s center offers the Kitsune Chest in place of a seed pack:

How to Earn: Trade five Corrupted and five Tranquil plants to fill the balance circle. Plant type (e.g., tomatoes, carrots) doesn’t matter, only the mutation does.
Rewards:
- Corrupted Kitsune or other pets.
- Corrupted Zen Crate (13.04% chance): Contains cosmetics like Mounted Katanas.
- Seeds like Lucky Bamboo or Enkaku (14% chance for some).

Tip: Use low-value plants like tomatoes for trading to conserve rare crops. Stockpile both mutation types during their respective Aura events.

Additional Features and Notes

Corrupted Zen Crate: Offers six new cosmetics, including the highly praised Mounted Katanas. Available via Corrupt Channeler rewards or Kitsune Chest.
Zen Shop Updates:
- Corrupt Radar: Auto-collects Corrupted fruits, similar to Tranquil Radar (18 Chi for three).
- Pet Mutation Shard Corrupted: Applies Corrupted mutation to pets (350 Chi or 289 Robux).
No Trading Yet: The trading system is slated for the next update on August 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM UTC. Save Corrupted plants for potential high-value trades.

Preparation Tips

Grind Sheckles: Farm high-value crops like Matrixified Cocoa (265K Sheckles) to afford resets (1M–4M Sheckles) or Elder Strawberry (if fixed).
Stockpile Tranquil Plants: Essential for Corrupt Channeler quests and Kitsune trading.
Sprinkler Trick: Use sprinklers to boost plant size for Divine, Mythical, or Prismatic crops to meet Channeler requirements.
Pet Cooldown Glitch: A glitch reduces pet ability cooldowns from 12 minutes to 15 seconds. Check community guides (e.g., Discord) to exploit before it’s patched.
Join Early: Log in 30 minutes before hourly events to avoid server lag (21.3M concurrent players reported).

Final Thoughts

The Corrupted Update adds depth to Grow a Garden with its dark aesthetic and rewarding mechanics, though some players find it underwhelming due to reused assets (e.g., Corrupted Kitsune as a retextured Kitsune) and low-value seeds like Dezen. Focus on the Corrupted Kitsune, Elder Strawberry, and Corrupt Channeler quests to maximize rewards before the event ends on August 2, 2025. With the trading update looming, stockpile Corrupted plants for potential profits.
