Magpie Pet in Grow A Garden: Value, How to get

The Magpie is a Legendary pet added during the Trader Event, and it quickly became one of those pets players talk about because of its special passive. If you like pets that give “extra” rewards without you doing much, Magpie fits that style perfectly.

Appearance

The Magpie looks like a blocky, stylized black-and-white bird with a sharp, square beak and bright glowing eyes—very much like a little digital thief. The white belly stands out against its dark feathers, and overall it gives a clean, simple, and slightly mischievous vibe. If you've ever seen the real-world bird known for loving shiny things, this pet is basically the cute voxel version of that idea.

How Do You Get the Magpie Pet?

Main Method: Gem Chest (14.5% chance)

The Magpie comes from the Gem Chest, a limited-time chest available only during the Trader Event.

You can obtain the Gem Chest with a 5.48% chance when participating in the Trader Event. Opening that chest gives you one of the following items:

Since Magpie has the same chance as Coilvine but far higher than Asteris or BeardedDragon, it sits in the mid-rare group of the chest — not ultra-hard, but definitely not easy.

If you're trying to speed things up instead of waiting on Gem Chest luck, many players choose to buy Grow A Garden pets from U4GM so they can jump straight into farming or testing builds. It's a simple shortcut if you just want the Magpie without relying on RNG.

What Does the Magpie Actually Do?

Passive Ability

Selling silver fruit has a chance to grant a random reward!

This includes:

• Levelup Lollipop
• Grandmaster Sprinkler
• Divine Coal

There are only a handful of Grow A Garden pets that generate extra rewards without needing manual input, and Magpie is one of them. If you sell silver fruit often, you'll see these rewards pop up regularly.

Value & Rarity of the Magpie

Tier: Legendary

Value Analysis

When judging value in Grow A Garden, three things matter most:

1. Rarity tier → Legendary pets usually stay desirable.
2. Event-exclusive access → Trader Event pets generally rise in value after the event ends.
3. Passive usefulness → Pets that generate items over time tend to hold strong long-term value.

Magpie hits all three points, which gives it stable trading value compared to pets that only provide stats or simple bonuses. The random rewards it drops — especially Grandmaster Sprinklers — also give it “resource value,” not just trading value.

If Trader Event pets become unavailable later, Magpie's price usually increases as players try to finish collections or need its passive.

Should You Buy the Magpie?

If you're someone who:

• sells a lot of silver fruit,
• wants a passive reward-generator,
• or enjoys collecting Trader Event pets,

then yes — Magpie is worth picking up.

If you mainly want combat power or farming multipliers, there are stronger pets. Magpie's value comes from rewards, not raw gameplay boosts.

Is Magpie Worth Using?

Short answer: Yes, if you're farming silver fruit.

Longer answer:

• The rewards are random, but the value of those rewards is high.
• You can get rare items early without grinding for them directly.
• It's a “set it and forget it” pet — very chill to use.

It won't change your main gameplay style, but it makes your normal farming more rewarding. If you already sell silver fruit often, it's basically free loot.

Summary

The Magpie is a Legendary Trader Event pet that gives random bonus rewards whenever you sell silver fruit. You get it from the Gem Chest at a 14.5% chance, making it moderately rare. Its value stays high because of its event-limited status and its ability to generate useful items like Levelup Lollipops and Grandmaster Sprinklers. If you like passive gain pets or want long-term value, Magpie is definitely worth using.
