Grow a Garden: BROKEN Halloween Event Farm – Get Unlimited Gear Boxes & Spooky Eggs!

The Grow a Garden Halloween event is live, and players are discovering methods to absolutely break the rewards system! With over 1,000 Halloween Gear Boxes and 2,500 Spooky Eggs farmed in just days, a “broken” strategy combined with a newly discovered 50% efficiency glitch is allowing players to dominate the event.

This guide will walk you through the most overpowered farming methods for the Jack-o’-Lantern, explain the game-breaking glitch, and show you how to maximize your rewards before these methods are inevitably patched.

Understanding the Halloween Event Rewards

There are four primary ways to get Halloween Gear Boxes and Spooky Eggs:

1. Dead Tree: (Worst method) Extremely slow quests with low-tier rewards. Avoid unless you’re specifically targeting the 0.5% Weeping Branch drop.
2. Graveyard: Better than the Dead Tree, offering 10 free digs per hour. Good for using excess Dig Tokens, but not a primary farming method on its own.
3. Witch’s Cauldron: (Second best) Now drops Gear Boxes and can be AFK-farmed using macros, even with the Dead Tree swapping in and out. It’s active for 4-hour durations.
4. Jack-o’-Lantern: (THE BEST method) This is where the real farming happens. Donate Halloween plants or plants with Halloween mutations (Blight, Vamp, Spooky) for a chance at Gear Boxes, Spooky Eggs, or Pumpkin Crates. Crucially, the “Submit All” button has turned this into an insane reward generator.

The “Broken” Jack-o’-Lantern Farming Method

The key to endless rewards lies in exploiting the Jack-o’-Lantern’s donation system with Halloween-mutated crops, specifically using the Dark Spriggan pet.

1. The Dark Spriggan Advantage: * Previously, getting Halloween mutations (like Blight) was slow, relying on pets like the Spooky Bear (1 mutation every 20 minutes). * The Dark Spriggan (often available in the Pet Shop for 400 Robux for the ghostly version, or found via market for the normal) rapidly applies Blight mutations within a radius, similar to the Kappa pet. This is the core of the broken method.
2. Setup for Maximum Efficiency: * Choose a Multi-Harvest Crop: Plant a large patch (e.g., 700-800+) of low-rarity, multi-harvest crops like Tomatoes, Blueberries, or Strawberries. These are cheap and regrow. * Deploy Dark Spriggans: Place your Dark Spriggan(s) in the middle of your crop patch. * Optimize Mutation Speed (Optional but Recommended): * Tether Spriggan: Use a tether mutation to keep the Spriggan centered on your crops. * Pancake Stacks: Place pancake stacks on your crops to further keep the Spriggan in place. * Chinchillas/Mimics: Activate pets like Chinchillas or Mimics to trigger your Spriggan’s ability multiple times, mutating hundreds of crops instantly. Even one Chinchilla and one Spriggan can be enough. * AFK for Mutations: Let your Spriggan (and other pets) mutate your crops with Blight before the Jack-o’-Lantern spawns. 30-60 minutes should mutate most of your crops.
3. Harvest & Donate Loop: * Once the Jack-o’-Lantern appears, harvest your blight-mutated crops. * Use Duplication Pets: Equip pets like Stegosauruses (8% chance) or, even better, Giant Ants (still obtainable and more effective) to duplicate your harvested crops, turning 800 plants into 3,000-6,000 donatable items. * Submit All: Go to the Jack-o’-Lantern and use the “Submit All” button. Watch the rewards roll in! You can easily get over 100 Gear Boxes and hundreds of Spooky Eggs per Jack-o’-Lantern spawn. * Repeat: After donating, your crops will regrow. Re-mutate them with your Spriggan for the next Jack-o’-Lantern spawn. For even more efficiency, use a second garden slot with another patch of crops.

The Game-Breaking Harvest All Glitch (50% More Rewards!)

While the above method is powerful, a recently discovered glitch with the “Harvest All” button (9 Robux) makes it even more broken, increasing rewards by roughly 50%.

• The Glitch: Normally, harvesting crops removes their mutations. However, when using the “Harvest All” button, it harvests all crops (filling your inventory beyond its limit) but DOES NOT REMOVE THE BLIGHT MUTATIONS from the plants still in the ground!
• How to Exploit:
  • Get your crops fully mutated with Blight using the Dark Spriggan method.
  • Use the “Harvest All” button. This will instantly fill your inventory with mutated crops (e.g., 1,000+ mutated strawberries).
  • Go to the Jack-o’-Lantern and “Submit All” these collected crops.
  • Crucially, the crops still in your garden will retain their Blight mutations, allowing you to use “Harvest All” again and again without having to wait for re-mutations.
  • Warning: After about 5-6 “Harvest Alls,” a significant amount of mutations will eventually disappear, but by then you’ve already generated an immense amount of rewards.
• Cost-Benefit: For only 9 Robux per “Harvest All,” this glitch can yield 25 Gear Boxes per use, making it incredibly cost-effective and a massive boost to efficiency.

What You Can Get From All Those Boxes!

After accumulating over 1,000 Halloween Gear Boxes and 2,500 Spooky Eggs:

• 1,100 Gear Boxes yielded: 9 Toffee Tethers, 50 Pumpkin Lollipops, 100 Sugar Watering Cans, hundreds of jellies, and 276 Dig Trinkets.
• 270 Dig Trinkets yielded: Only 1 Hex Serpent, with no Mummy Seeds (highlighting the low drop rates of the Graveyard event without serious token farming).

Act Fast Before It’s Patched!

This method, especially with the “Harvest All” glitch, is almost certainly unintended. It is currently working in version 204 of Grow a Garden. Start farming now before the developers inevitably release a patch to nerf this incredibly efficient strategy.
