How To Get Chi Points in Grow a Garden (Zen Shop Guide)

In the Grow a Garden Zen update, players can now earn Chi Points, a brand-new currency used exclusively at the Zen Shop run by the Brown Raccoon NPC.

These points are essential for obtaining limited-time Zen-themed items such as Zen seed packs, pet eggs, cosmetic crates, and more.

If you’re wondering how to farm Chi Points efficiently, here’s a complete guide to help you make the most of this relaxing new event.

How to Earn Chi Points in Grow a Garden

Chi Points are earned by submitting plants or fruits with the “Tranquil” mutation.

Here’s how the process works step-by-step:

1. Wait for the Zen Aura Event

The Zen Aura weather event occurs once every hour.

During this event, your crops have a chance to mutate into the Tranquil form.

2. Use Tranquil Pets

Equip a pet with the Tranquil mutation ability, like Tanchozuru (from Zen Eggs) or a regular pet mutated using a Tranquil Pet Shard.

These pets will help apply the Tranquil mutation outside of the Zen Aura event, giving you more frequent chances to farm Chi.

3. Submit Tranquil Fruits to the Brown Raccoon

Visit the Brown Raccoon NPC near the Zen Tree.

Submit any Tranquil-mutated fruits or plants to earn Chi Points based on the rarity of the plant.

4. Submit to Unk the Monk for Bonus Chi

You can also submit Tranquil fruits to Unk the Monk.

This action increases the Zen Tree’s progress bar and can also grant bonus Chi Points as a reward.

Grow a Garden’s Chi Point Values by Plant Rarity

When submitting Tranquil-mutated crops to the Zen Shop, the number of Chi Points you receive varies based on the rarity of the plant.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Common: 1 Chi Point
• Uncommon: 2 Chi Points
• Rare: 3 Chi Points
• Epic: 4 Chi Points
• Legendary: 5 Chi Points
• Mythical: 6 Chi Points
• Divine: 7 Chi Points
• Prismatic: 8 Chi Points

So, to farm Chi efficiently, prioritize planting and mutating higher-rarity crops.

What Chi Points in Grow a Garden Are Used For

Chi Points are the only way to buy items from the Zen Shop, which resets its inventory every hour.

Here’s what you can purchase with Chi:

• Zen Seed Pack — 12 Chi
• Zen Pet Egg — 14 Chi
• Cosmetic Crates
• Gnome Crates
• Special Pets (like Kitsune)

These items are exclusive to the Zen event and cannot be obtained using regular Sheckles.

However, you can use Sheckles to refresh the shop’s inventory manually if you’re searching for a specific item.

Why Chi Farming Is Worth It

Not only are Zen Shop items limited-time exclusives, but some are incredibly powerful.

For example, the Kitsune pet applies the powerful Chakra mutation to fruits it steals from other gardens and can even apply the rare Foxfire Chakra variant.

Items like this can significantly improve your crop yield and overall profit.

Conclusion

Chi Points are a vital currency in the Zen update.

Whether you’re aiming to get the new high-yield Zen seeds or unlock a game-changing pet like Kitsune, farming Chi is a must.

Focus on getting Tranquil mutations, especially on rare crops, and submit them to the Zen Shop and Monk NPC.

With a solid strategy and patience, you will make the most of this peaceful event and fill your garden with serenity and rewards.
