How to Get Buttercup Chests in Grow a Garden
Getting Buttercup Chests requires participating in the Buttercup Quest Event. Here’s the step-by-step process to start earning these valuable chests:
First, head to the center of your garden where the event area is set up. You’ll find Brooklyn, the event NPC, standing near a special buttercup garden. Talk to Brooklyn to see available daily quests. These quests refresh every 24 hours, so make sure to log in regularly to complete them.
Each quest asks you to harvest and deliver specific colored buttercups. The quests come in four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Difficult. Higher difficulty quests require rarer buttercup colors but reward more Buttercup Coins. For example, easy quests might ask for common yellow buttercups, while difficult quests could require black or white variants.
When you complete quests, Brooklyn rewards you with Buttercup Coins, the event currency. Save up 3 coins to purchase a regular Buttercup Chest, or spend 149 Robux for an Exotic Buttercup Chest from the premium shop. The exotic version has significantly better drop rates for rare items.
Understanding Buttercup Mutations for Quests
Many quests require specific buttercup colors that you can’t get from regular planting. This is where mutations come in handy. Mutations are special effects that change your buttercup’s appearance to match quest requirements.
Here are the main buttercup colors and how to get them:
Blue buttercups can be created using Diamond mutations from the Diamond Dragonfly pet, or Glacial mutations from the Frost Dragon pet. The Subzero mutation from Frost Squirrel pets also works for blue variants.
Red buttercups need Flaming mutations (Phoenix pet), Corrupt mutations (from corrupted pets), or Opulent mutations (Galah Cockatoo pet). The Friendbound mutation from the Friendship Pot can also create red buttercups.
Yellow buttercups are the easiest to get with Gold mutations (Dragonfly or Cockatrice pets), Sandy mutations (Jackalope pet), or Pollinated mutations (most bee pets).
Purple buttercups require Glimmering mutations from the Glimmering Sprite pet or special mutation sprays.
Green buttercups can be created with Lush mutations (Lion pet), Verdant mutations (Scarlet Macaw pet), or Ornamented mutations (Nutcracker pet).
White buttercups need Silver mutations (Silver Dragonfly or Cockatrice), Spooky mutations (Ghost Bear pet), or Crystallized mutations (Sapphire Macaw pet).
Black buttercups are the rarest and require Charcoal mutations (Charcoal Sprinkler), Burnt mutations (Cooked Owl pet), or Moonlit mutations (Wolf pet).
Complete Buttercup Chest Drop Rates and Rewards
The Buttercup Chest contains six different possible rewards, each with specific drop rates. Understanding these odds helps you plan your opening strategy and manage expectations.
Big Buttercup has a 43.9% drop chance, making it the most common reward. This Rare-tier seed produces larger buttercup plants that add visual variety to your garden. While not extremely valuable, Big Buttercup seeds are great for expanding your buttercup collection.
Bigger Buttercup drops at 35%, giving you a Legendary-tier seed. These plants produce even larger buttercups with more flowers than the Big variant. Bigger Buttercup seeds are popular among collectors and can be valuable for trading.
Pink Bunny has a 15% drop rate and is an Uncommon-rarity pet. This adorable companion runs around your garden eating buttercups and dropping extra seeds. The Pink Bunny is incredibly useful for farming buttercup seeds efficiently, making it a strategic choice even if you’re not collecting pets.
Biggest Buttercup drops at just 1%, making it quite rare. This Mythical-tier seed produces the largest buttercup plants in the game with impressive visual effects. Biggest Buttercup seeds are highly sought after by serious collectors.
Beast Buttercup has an extremely low 0.05% drop rate, making it one of the rarest items in Grow a Garden. This Transcendent-tier seed is the ultimate prize for dedicated players. You can also buy the Beast Buttercup directly from the Seed Shop for 500 billion Sheckles or 799 Robux if you don’t want to rely on luck.
Rainbow Buttercup Chest has the lowest drop rate at 0.01%. This special chest contains rainbow variants of all buttercup items and is the ultimate collector’s item. Getting a Rainbow Buttercup Chest is extremely rare and considered a major achievement.
Exotic Buttercup Chest vs Regular: Which Should You Buy?
The Exotic Buttercup Chest costs 149 Robux but offers significantly better drop rates. Here’s how it compares to the regular chest:
In the Exotic Buttercup Chest, the Beast Buttercup drop rate increases from 0.05% to 0.5% – that’s 10 times better! The Biggest Buttercup drop rate improves from 1% to 5%, making legendary seeds much more accessible. The Rainbow Buttercup Chest also has better odds in the exotic version.
If you’re serious about collecting rare items, the Exotic Buttercup Chest is worth the investment. The improved drop rates mean you’ll likely need fewer chests to get the items you want. However, if you’re just starting or prefer free-to-play methods, regular chests earned through quests can still provide good value.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Buttercup Chest Rewards
Based on community strategies and expert players, here are the best ways to maximize your Buttercup Chest rewards during the event:
Plant every buttercup seed you get immediately. Since all buttercup seeds are single-harvest, you need to maintain a constant supply of growing plants. Use the Pink Bunny pet if you get it – it duplicates seeds by eating buttercups, creating a sustainable farming loop.
Focus on completing higher difficulty quests first. While they require rarer buttercup colors, these quests reward more Buttercup Coins per quest. Save your rare black and white buttercups specifically for these difficult quests rather than using them on easier tasks.
Use mutations strategically. Instead of applying mutations to all your buttercups, only mutate the exact number needed for each quest. This conserves your mutation resources and pet energy for future quests.
Consider buying Buttercup Coins with Robux if you’re close to the end of the event and need just a few more coins for that final chest. The event is time-limited, so sometimes spending a small amount is better than missing out completely.
Trade with other players. If you get duplicate seeds or pets, consider trading them for items you need. The Grow a Garden community has active trading channels where you can exchange extra rewards.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During the Buttercup Event
Many players make avoidable mistakes that reduce their Buttercup Chest earnings. Here’s what to watch out for:
Don’t harvest all your buttercups at once. Some quests require specific colors, so harvesting everything might leave you without the right variants for active quests. Keep unneeded buttercups in the ground until you’re sure you won’t need them.
Avoid spending Buttercup Coins as soon as you get them. Save up for multiple chests rather than opening one at a time. This gives you better chances at rare items and lets you decide between regular and exotic chests.
Don’t ignore the power of pet stacking. Multiple Pink Bunny pets can dramatically increase your seed production. If you get extra Pink Bunnies from chests, use them together for maximum efficiency.
Avoid buying expensive mutations unless absolutely necessary. Many quest requirements can be met with basic pet mutations or environmental effects. Save your premium resources for the most difficult quests.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Buttercup Coins do I need for a Buttercup Chest?
You need exactly 3 Buttercup Coins to purchase one regular Buttercup Chest from Brooklyn. These coins are earned by completing daily quests in the Buttercup Quest Event. Each quest rewards different amounts of coins based on difficulty – easy quests might give 1 coin, while difficult quests can reward 2-3 coins. If you want to buy multiple chests, you’ll need to complete several quests or consider purchasing coins with Robux from the premium shop.
What is the rarest item inside the Buttercup Chest?
The Beast Buttercup is the rarest item with only a 0.05% drop chance from regular chests and 0.5% from Exotic Buttercup Chests. This Transcendent-tier seed is incredibly valuable and sought after by collectors. The Rainbow Buttercup Chest is also extremely rare at 0.01% drop rate, but the Beast Buttercup is generally considered more valuable due to its utility and trading worth. Many players save up hundreds of chests trying to get this elusive seed.
Is the Pink Bunny pet worth getting from the Buttercup Chest?
Yes, the Pink Bunny is definitely worth getting, especially if you plan to continue farming buttercups. With a 15% drop rate, it’s relatively accessible compared to other rare items. The Pink Bunny has a special ability where it eats buttercup plants and drops extra seeds, effectively doubling your seed production. This makes it incredibly valuable for completing future quests and maintaining a steady supply of buttercups without constantly buying new seeds.
Can I get Buttercup Chests after the event ends?
No, Buttercup Chests are exclusive to the limited-time Buttercup Quest Event. Once the event ends, you cannot earn Buttercup Coins or purchase these chests from Brooklyn. However, any items you obtain from the chests (like seeds and pets) are permanent and can be used forever. The Exotic Buttercup Chest might occasionally return during special sales, but the regular chests and quest system are event-exclusive.
Should I open chests immediately or save them?
Most experienced players recommend opening chests immediately rather than saving them. Since the Buttercup Chest rewards can help you complete quests faster (especially the Pink Bunny pet), opening them right away gives you advantages during the event. Additionally, some seeds like the Big and Bigger Buttercup can be planted and harvested for more quest progress. The only reason to save chests would be if you’re waiting for a potential buff to drop rates, but there’s no guarantee this will happen.
How do I get specific colored buttercups for quests?
You need to use mutations to change buttercup colors for quest requirements. Each color requires specific mutations: Blue needs Diamond or Glacial mutations, Red needs Flaming or Corrupt mutations, Yellow needs Gold or Pollinated mutations, Purple needs Glimmering mutations, Green needs Lush or Verdant mutations, White needs Silver or Spooky mutations, and Black needs Charcoal or Moonlit mutations. These mutations come from specific pets, environmental effects, or special items like mutation sprays.
Is it worth buying the Exotic Buttercup Chest with Robux?
The Exotic Buttercup Chest can be worth it if you’re serious about collecting rare items or want to save time. At 149 Robux, it’s more expensive than grinding, but the improved drop rates (10x better for Beast Buttercup) make it much more efficient for getting rare items. If you plan to spend real money on the event anyway, the exotic chest gives better value than buying individual coins or seeds. However, free-to-play players can still get good results from regular chests by completing quests consistently.
Conclusion: Mastering the Buttercup Chest Event
The Buttercup Chest event offers some of the most exciting rewards in Grow a Garden, from the ultra-rare Beast Buttercup to the helpful Pink Bunny pet. By understanding the quest system, using mutations strategically, and managing your resources wisely, you can maximize your chances of getting these exclusive items.
Remember that the event is time-limited, so make sure to log in daily for quests and plan your buttercup farming efficiently. Whether you choose to grind for free chests or invest in Exotic Buttercup Chests, the key is consistency and smart resource management.
