The highly anticipated Chubby Chipmunk update has now launched in Grow a Garden, bringing with it a brand-new accessory known as the Energy Chew. This distinctive item is designed like a small blue thunderbolt and can only be earned through event rewards. Curious about how this tiny piece of gear can enhance your gameplay? Read on!
Acquiring the Energy Chew
To obtain the Energy Chew, players must complete tasks on the Chubby Chipmunk event reward track. This means that the process begins with nurturing your Chubby Chipmunk pet, which can be acquired free of charge by clicking the Free Chipmunk banner located to the right of the Nuts NPC in the event area.
Once you have your Chipmunk, make sure to place it in your garden where it will naturally grow larger. The Chubby Chipmunk has an inherent ability to consume plants at regular intervals, gaining weight while also producing Acorns. If you find the cooldown period for this trait to be lengthy, consider initiating the Nutty Fever event, which significantly shortens the cooldown time for the Chipmunk’s abilities.
Here’s a quick guide on the weights your Chubby Chipmunk must achieve in order to claim the Energy Chew from the reward track:
- 2.15 kg: 5th Reward
- 13.65 kg: 9th Reward
- 36.48 kg: 12th Reward
Utilizing the Energy Chew
Using the Energy Chew is straightforward and can drastically reduce your pet’s cooldown time. Follow these simple steps:
- Access your backpack and locate the Energy Chew gear.
- Equip the Energy Chew so it’s in your hand, then approach your pet.
- Click the left mouse button while targeting the pet, and voilà!
This action will instantly activate the passive trait of your pet and reduce its cooldown. Notably, mutated pets will see greater benefits from utilizing the Energy Chew compared to standard pets.
Evaluating the Energy Chew’s Value
Currently, many players find that acquiring the Energy Chew may not offer significant benefits. This item is a one-time use gear, and the effect activates only once. Therefore, it might be more strategic to focus on items on the reward track that provide better overall benefits.
Instead of prioritizing the Energy Chew, consider grinding through the event to collect more valuable items such as Nutty Chests, extra pets, seeds, and cosmetics that will prove more advantageous in your journey.
That sums up everything you need to know about the Energy Chew in Grow a Garden: how to acquire it and its functional uses within the game. Have you explored all the exciting new seeds introduced in the Chubby Chipmunk update? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below!
