Trading has been re-enabled in Grow a Garden, but you cannot simply exchange your pets. Instead, trading in Grow a Garden is done via the gifting method, which means players are more vulnerable to scams when giving away their pets.
Taking these factors into account, we’ll walk you through some essential measures you should take when trading in Grow a Garden and getting the right value for your pets.
Don’t Undervalue Your Pets in Grow a Garden
Let’s break this down in a simple way so that whether you’re a beginner or a long-time player, you will walk away understanding how to evaluate trading value.
A. Age
This one’s simple. The older your pet, the more valuable it is. Since the addition of pet mutations, you now need a Level 50 pet to apply mutations, which increases demand for higher-aged pets.
On the Grow a Garden Discord server, you’ll find players offering huge amounts for high-level pets. For example, someone was offering 350 trillion for an age 75 pet.
If you have pets over age 50, you can easily trade them for lots of shekels or stronger pets.
B. Huge Pets
These are pets that appear larger than normal, and yes, size matters in this game.
Even the most common pet, like a bunny, if huge, can be traded for tons of shekels or rare pets. If you have any huge pets, don’t undervalue them. They are worth a lot.
C. Mutations
Mutated pets, like the Golden Queen Bee, Rainbow Raccoon, and Ascended Ostrich, hold serious value in trading.
However, remember that trading values shift weekly with game updates. What’s valuable today might drop tomorrow. So stay updated and always double-check values before making trades.
D. Good Abilities
This is the most important category. The more overpowered a pet’s ability, the higher the value.
Some high-value examples include Raccoons, which are among the most expensive pets in the game. Butterflies, Mimics, Octopuses, Queen Bees, T-Rex, and many others also have top-tier value.
The Dragonfly, for example, turns a random fruit into gold every 5 minutes. That is an extremely powerful ability.
Then there is the Kitsune. Every 22 minutes, it targets another player’s fruit, gives it a Chakra mutation, and then steals it back. It also has a rare chance to apply Foxfire Chakra, making it an upgraded (but slightly slower) version of the Raccoon.
People are offering major overpays for Kitsune pets in the Discord server. If a pet has a powerful, unique ability, it is going to be high in demand.
There Are A Lot of Scammers Out There
Now for the important part: how to avoid getting scammed.
Let’s be honest. Almost everyone in the game is a potential scammer. But here is how you can protect yourself.
A. Use the Discord Server (Safely)
What Does NGF Mean in Roblox Grow a Garden Trading?
On the Grow a Garden Discord server, people are constantly trading. But here is the problem. Everyone says ngf, which is an acronym used for “Not going first.” Basically, it means that if you want to trade pets, you have to give your pets first and then they pay you the amount virtually.
So who goes first? This creates a trust issue, and that’s why vouches are important.
What Are Vouchers in Grow a Garden Trading?
A vouch is a message from another player confirming that someone is trustworthy.
If someone has 20 or more vouches, they’re likely reliable. If they have fake vouches or scam reports, avoid them.
For example, a player might say, “Trading Mega Dragonfly, not going first. I have 39 vouches.”
To verify, click their name and copy their username. In Discord, go to the search bar and use the “mentions” filter. Search for their name and check all the vouches.
If you see consistent messages like “Vouch, trusted trader” or “Very chill guy,” and no scam reports, then it’s probably safe to trade.
B. How To Spot a Scammer in Grow a Garden Discord Server
Let’s say someone says, “I have 10 vouches and 3 scam vouches.”
That is a red flag. Search their name and you’ll often find multiple scam reports.
The rule of thumb is simple. If someone has any scam vouches, do not trade with them. It’s not worth the risk.
C. Middlemen (MM) Warning
If you see a message that says “Using MM” or “Looking for a middleman,” be careful. More than 95 percent of middlemen are scammers.
Even if they have vouches, they can be fake or staged.
In a nutshell, only trade with people who have verified vouches. As a result, avoid users with no vouches, even if the offer sounds amazing. After a successful trade, always ask for a vouch. This way you can build up your own vouch record to become a trusted trader.
