A brief guide to understanding the Lightning Rod in Grow a Garden

To get a Lightning Rod, you must visit the Gear Shop in the game. It is beside the Seed Shop and helps you obtain various items like Sprinklers and the Favorite Tool. However, being a Mythical item, it's almost always out of stock. The same goes for most of the rarer items and seeds in the game, making it challenging to obtain them.

If you get lucky and find it in stock, you must then spend a whopping 1,000,000 Sheckles to purchase it. This large sum can be difficult to acquire, especially for new players who have yet to set up their garden properly. You must spend a decent amount of time to have this kind of money for purchasing gear.

Now that you know how to get the Lightning Rod, you must understand how to use it. After completing the transaction, head back to your garden and open the inventory. Click on the Lightning Rod to equip it. Then, go towards a group of plants that you wish would obtain the Shocked Mutation and plant the rod near them.

Once the Thunderstorm Weather event triggers on the server, the Lightning Rod will redirect the lightning to it and apply the Shocked Mutation to all the plants in its immediate area. Applying this mutation increases the sale value of a plant by 100 times. This is one of the reasons why the Lightning Rod is in high demand.

Now, while the rod might look like a sprinkler, it will stay in your garden until it spends all its uses. The Lightning Rod has a total of three uses before it is spent and disappears. This makes it worth the money since you can easily make more than what it costs if you have some high-rarity crops in your garden.
