How To Get Night Staff In Grow A Garden

The Night Staff is one of the most sought-after items in Grow a Garden, known for its mysterious appearance and valuable properties. If you're wondering how to obtain this rare tool, there are a few key methods to unlock it—either by participating in special events or purchasing it directly.

1. Lunar Glow Event – Earn Lunar Points

The Lunar Glow Event is the primary way players were originally able to get the Night Staff. Here's how it worked:

• Visit the Wise Old Owl: After the Lunar Glow update, a new area appears at the center of the map. There you'll find the Wise Old Owl, who acts as the main NPC for the event.
• Collect Moonlit or Bloodlit Fruits: During the event, your harvests have a small chance of mutating into Moonlit fruits, identifiable by their distinctive blue glow. You don't need special seeds—just keep harvesting during the event.
• Give Fruits to the Owl: Hand over these rare fruits to the Owl in exchange for Lunar Points.

Night Staff Milestone Rewards:

• 40 Lunar Points – 1 Night Staff
• 110 Lunar Points – 1 Night Staff
• 250 Lunar Points – 1 Night Staff
• 360 Lunar Points – 3 Night Staffs

The more points you earn, the more Night Staffs you'll unlock!

Tip: You can find a timer next to the Owl that shows when the next Lunar event will occur.

2. Buy from the Sky Merchant

If you missed the event or want to skip the grind, you can now obtain the Night Staff from the Sky Merchant. It's currently priced at 12 million (12M), making it a high-value item for dedicated players with enough currency.

3. Summer Harvest Event (Rare Drop)

Another alternative method is through the Summer Harvest event. Although the Night Staff isn't officially listed in the rewards pool, some players have reported receiving it after their server reached the Mythical Reward tier.

To increase your chances:

• Plant Summer Crops: The more crops your server contributes, the higher the reward tier climbs.
• Reach Mythical Tier: This is where the Night Staff may appear as a bonus reward.

What Does the Night Staff Do?

The Night Staff has one core function:  
It transforms a random fruit into a Moonlit fruit during the night cycle of the Lunar event.

This is incredibly valuable because Moonlit fruits can be traded with the Wise Old Owl for Lunar Points, which unlock powerful rewards—including more Night Staffs.

How to Use the Night Staff

Once you've obtained the Night Staff, it will appear in your backpack or hotbar. To use it:

1. Open your inventory and locate the Night Staff.
2. Equip the Staff or drag it to your hotbar.
3. Place it down in your garden—ideally in an area with growing fruits.
4. Wait for nightfall. The Staff only works at night during the Lunar event.

You can place the Staff during the day, but it won't do anything until night comes.

How Many Uses Does It Have?

Each Night Staff comes with 6 charges. Every time it successfully mutates a fruit into a Moonlit one, it consumes a charge. After 6 mutations, the Staff will evaporate and disappear from your garden.

To check how many uses you have left:  
Hover over the placed Night Staff in your garden. A tooltip will show the remaining charges.

You'll also get a notification that says:  
"Your Night Staff mutated a fruit to Moonlit."

This lets you know it's time to harvest that fruit before it spoils.

Key Rules to Remember

• Only works during the Lunar event
• Only activates at night
• Can mutate up to 6 fruits
• Evaporates after its 6th use
• Can be placed anytime, but effect only happens at night
• You'll get a notification when it activates

Tips for Effective Use

• Place the Night Staff early in the event to give it more chances to activate.
• Surround it with as many fruit plants as possible to maximize the chances of mutation.
• Check the mutation notification promptly to collect the Moonlit fruit.
• Avoid wasting charges by removing the Staff before it uses all 6 charges.
