mutations.ts: fine sparkle dust from high-tier growth mutations; growth category, multiplier 20, stackable true. No weather.ts bonus lists Glimmering. Treat it as a growth-roll identity from care/luck lines in the catalog text, not as Moonlit weather glow.
Glimmering Mutation Grow a Garden
Glimmering is fine sparkle dust in the growth lane at 20× — numeric parity with Golden, not a second environmental glitter layer you can stack beside it.
How to trigger
Stacking rules
Glimmering is growth. Only one growth mutation applies — EXCLUSIVE_GROUPS in mutation-conflicts.ts blocks Golden, Rainbow, Luminous, Harmonised, and other growth ids beside it. Formula uses max growth multiplier: Glimmering alone → 20. It does not enter envBracket. Environmental tags (Moonlit 8×, Shocked 125×, etc.) still pad the env sum separately.

Glimmering value by weight
Glimmering applies a 20× multiplier in the growth bracket. The table below shows the value it adds to a reference crop (base 50) across common harvest weights, so you can gauge how much this tag is worth before chasing it.
| Weight | Base crop value | With Glimmering (20×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 1K | +950 |
| 2 kg | 200 | 4K | +3.8K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 25K | +23.8K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 1K | +95K |
Glimmering value impact
Twenty times growth, not twenty times env
Players confuse sparkle visuals with weather shine. Moonlit and Starlit are environmental; Glimmering is growth. A Glimmering + Moonlit harvest multiplies growth 20 by envBracket from Moonlit (8), it does not add two growth multipliers.
Against Golden (also 20× growth), the calculator is indifferent — whichever growth id is selected wins the exclusive slot at the same factor. Rainbow (50×) replaces either. Radiant (19×) and Shiny (5×) lose to Glimmering if both somehow compete; the exclusivity map prevents dual selection.
When sparkle is worth listing
Cosmetic buyers may pay for sparkle dust over plain Golden sheen at equal math. Disclose that the multiplier matches Golden so WFL partners do not assume a hidden premium tier.
Pair Glimmering with real env pads you can document — Pollinated (6×), Tranquil (15×), or event tags — rather than camping a second growth name. On light kilograms, push weight before hunting Luminous (31×) or Rainbow upgrades.
Common questions
- Can Glimmering and Golden both apply?
- No. They are rival growth ids. EXCLUSIVE_GROUPS keeps a single growth winner; alone, either lands at the same 20× growth factor.
- Does Glimmering use the environmental bracket?
- No. It contributes as the growth multiplier. Environmental tags use envBracket = 1 + (sum − count) separately.
