Garlic
Garlic cloves punch above their 35 Sheckle common-tier weight class — the cooking event crop that turns kitchen-themed harvests into saucy mutation stacks.
Base value
Garlic base value is 35 Sheckles. At 5 kg, raw sell is 35 × 25 = 875 Sheckles. At 12 kg you reach 35 × 144 = 5,040 Sheckles — weight² dominates before growth mutations multiply the stack.
Mutations & weather
Cooking event crops love Simmered, Saucy, and Golden growth during kitchen weeks. Wet from rain adds cheap env brackets between sauce-themed procs.
Farming loop
Plant garlic at cooking event start so maturity overlaps peak event weather — shared event conditions boost proc rates on neighboring event crops. Clear Skies between events works for kg pushing without mutation chasing.
Garlic strategy
Kitchen Row Composition
Garlic slots into cooking event rows beside garlic, basil, and marinara-tomato — stagger maturity so Simmered and Saucy tags land on multiple crops in one session.
Cooking event weather boosts themed mutation procs; plant at event start rather than mid-week when seed shops rotate and weather buffers shrink.
Sauce-Path Mutation Math
At 35 base, a 10 kg garlic sells for 3,500 Sheckles before event tags — use that floor when negotiating combo bundles with meatball-vine.
Disclose cooking event tag names in trade titles. Generic vegetable listings undersell themed harvests that buyers collect for screenshot sets.
Common questions
- When should I plant Garlic for the cooking event?
- At cooking event start so maturity overlaps peak weather. Off-event planting still works for kg — event tags proc mainly during active weeks.
- Is Garlic worth mutating?
- Golden growth on heavy garlic is fine for learning. Skip expensive env rerolls until you upgrade to higher base vegetable crops.
