To obtain the Gnomed mutation, players must now utilize the Gnome pet, a feature that was initially limited to cosmetic appeal when gnomes were first introduced into the game. Below are the steps to unlock this exciting mutation:
Steps to Unlock the Gnomed Mutation
- Begin by growing the magic beanstalk. Interact with the Jack NPC to submit all required fruits based on the specific plant types he requests. For new players, our Grow a Garden Beanstalk event guide can be immensely helpful.
- Once the beanstalk reaches impressive heights, either climb it or teleport to the top platform using the adjacent portal.
- Increase your friendship level with the giant Goliath NPC by feeding him cooked food. Refer to our cooking recipes list to prepare the necessary dishes, aiming for a friendship level of 7.
- This process will unlock the Gnome, available for purchase using Sheckles.

Once you have the Gnome, position it in your garden; it will generate a 1.05% chance every 9.57 minutes to mutate a random fruit into the Gnomed mutation.
Strategies to Enhance Your Chance of Gnomed Mutation
While the Gnome pet simplifies the process to acquire the Gnomed mutation, certain strategies can further amplify your success rates. Consider the following tips:
- Incorporate Gnome Cosmetics: Each Gnome cosmetic item planted in your garden provides a passive boost of 1.05% to the likelihood of obtaining the Gnomed mutation. These decorative items can be purchased from the Gnome Merchant, who appears every four hours near the Seed shop.
- Utilize Multiple Gnome Pets: Having more than one Gnome pet in your garden will markedly increase your chances of triggering the Gnomed mutation. The more pets you have, the higher the success rate becomes.
