The Corrupted Zen event in Grow a Garden introduces players to unique quests and rewarding opportunities through the Corrupt Channeler and Kitsune NPCs. These quests involve collecting specific fruits and Grow A Garden items, some of which can result in exclusive rewards, such as rare pets and valuable items. Here's everything you need to know about the quests associated with the Corrupted event.

The Corrupt Channeler NPC, found in the event hub (marked by an orange circle), offers a series of quests requiring you to turn in specific fruits and items with certain weights and mutations. For example, you might be asked for a Tranquil Bamboo weighing exactly 4 kilograms. Completing these quests will reward you with random items from the Channeler's exclusive rewards table.
Additionally, handing over fruits to the Corrupt Channeler will also contribute to the growth of a tree located behind them. This tree resets every hour, but each time it does, it will use its height to grant your plants the Corrupt mutation. If you're low on Corrupt fruits, keeping the tree leveled up is a great way to ensure consistent access to this mutation, especially when the weather event is not active.
Here's a list of the rewards you can receive from the Corrupt Channeler:
| Reward | Odds |
|---|---|
| Zen Egg | 17.39% |
| 10x Chi | 17.39% |
| Corrupted Zen Crate | 13.04% |
| Corrupt Staff | 8.7% |
| Mutation Spray Tranquil | 8.7% |
| Mutation Spray Corrupt | 8.7% |
| Tranquil Staff | 8.7% |
| Zen Seed Pack | 8.7% |
| Corrupted Kodama | 4.35% |
| Enkaku | 4.35% |
The Kitsune is the second quest giver associated with the Corrupted Zen event. Located between the two circles in the event hub area, the Kitsune requests simpler items than the Corrupt Channeler. Specifically, it asks for Tranquil and Corrupted fruits, regardless of their size or specific traits.
Your objective with the Kitsune is to strike a balance between the two types of fruits—Tranquil and Corrupted. The balance is visually represented by two circle meters on either side of the Kitsune NPC. Striking the right balance will reward you with various items, including exclusive pets and plants.
Here are the rewards you can earn from the Kitsune:
| Reward | Odds |
|---|---|
| Maneki-neko | 34.5% |
| Dezen | 34.5% |
| Kodama | 14.5% |
| Lucky Bamboo | 14.5% |
| Corrupted Kitsune | 1% |
| Tranquil Bloom | 1% |
In Grow a Garden, the Kitsune Chest is an exclusive reward that can be obtained by trading specific fruits with the Kitsune NPC, who has recently moved to the center of the map. The Kitsune now has two wheels beside it: one for Corruption and the other for Tranquility. To earn a Kitsune Chest, you'll need to fill both wheels by trading five Tranquil fruits and five Corrupt fruits.
Opening a Kitsune Chest will give you a random reward from the following list:
| Reward | Odds |
|---|---|
| Maneki-neko (Pet) | 34.5% |
| Dezen (Seed - Single Harvest) | 34.5% |
| Kodama (Pet) | 14.5% |
| Lucky Bamboo (Seed - Multi-Harvest) | 14.5% |
| Corrupted Kitsune (Pet) | 1% |
| Tranquil Bloom (Seed - Multi-Harvest) | 1% |
