This guide will show you:

• Every Fruit crop in the game.
• How the Red Giant Ant boosts your harvest.

Let's jump right in.

The Red Giant Ant

This is the pet that takes your Fruit farming to the next level.

• Tier: Mythical
• Event: Blood Moon Event Update
• How to Obtain: Hatch a Mythical Egg (8.93% chance)
• Hunger: 15,000 (yep, it's a bottomless pit—be ready to feed it constantly)

Why It's Important

The Red Giant Ant directly affects Fruit crops. With it active, Fruits grow better and mutations become more reliable. In my experience, it's a game-changer for farming high-value crops like Dragon Fruit or Starfruit.

Step-by-Step Farming Strategy

Here's how I personally run my Fruit farm with the Red Giant Ant:

1. Pick Your Crops Wisely

• High Value for Trades: Dragon Fruit, Starfruit, Watermelon.
• Event/Exotics: Celestiberry, Moon Mango, Moon Melon. (I save these for trading instead of grinding them.)
• Fast Growers: Strawberry, Blueberry, Apple. (Great for quick harvest cycles.)

2. Deploy the Red Giant Ant

• Keep it well-fed (15,000 hunger is huge). I always stockpile food before long farming sessions.
• Place it near your Fruit rows—it only buffs crops in range.

3. Harvest Efficiently

• Quick Fruits: Farm Strawberries and Blueberries back-to-back. They respawn faster and keep your inventory moving.
• Slow Fruits: Durian, Mangosteen, Hive Fruit—plant these when you'll be online for a while.

4. Focus on Mutations

• The Red Giant Ant boosts mutation chances.
• Blood Banana is a solid example of a mutated fruit that's always in demand.
• I recommend planting full rows of one Fruit if you're mutation hunting—it makes results easier to track.

Pro Tips from My Runs

• Private Servers → Faster resets, no competition for Fruit slots.
• Event Watch → Many Fruit mutations (like Moon Mango) are only active during special updates.
• Ant Management → Don't starve it. A hungry Red Giant Ant is basically useless.
• Trade Smart → Exotic fruits like Celestiberry and Moon Melon fetch higher value than normal crops.

Quick Recap

• Fruit crops = 35+ total, from Apples to Moon Melons.
• Red Giant Ant = Mythical pet from Blood Moon Event, 8.93% hatch rate, 15,000 hunger.
• Best strategy = Use Ant on high-value Fruits, balance quick growers with exotics, and focus on mutations like Blood Banana.
