What Makes the Golden Piggy So Special?
The Golden Piggy is one of the latest additions from the crafting table, alongside the Silver Piggy. To craft it, you’ll need some rare materials like a tanning mirror, along with a few other items from your inventory. A quick tip from my experience: using an orangutan before crafting can return some of your materials with a 56% chance, which is a neat way to save resources if you’re tight on crafting items.
Once crafted, the Golden Piggy’s real value shines in its passive XP boost. When maxed out, each Golden Piggy gives 0.2 XP per second for every gold ingot cosmetic in your garden. With the maximum of 175 gold ingots, a full team of eight Golden Piggies can generate up to 280 XP per second—and if you add a medium XP treat, that number jumps to a staggering 840 XP per second. For comparison, traditional leveling methods like the Dilaposaurus only give about 6,000 XP per minute, whereas the Golden Piggy method can reach 44,100 XP per minute. It’s insane, and definitely a game-changer if you’re aiming for rapid progression.
How Do I Prepare My Garden for Maximum XP?
To fully utilize the Golden Piggy, you need to carefully set up your garden. Focus on crafting enough gold ingots and placing them efficiently. Remember, the maximum effect requires all 175 slots filled with gold ingots. It’s a grind, and I spent hours crafting just 65 ingots before needing to take a break. If you’re short on time, leaving advanced sprinklers on overnight can help you accumulate resources without constant management.
Also, while equipping your pets, it’s important to balance the number of Golden Piggies with the use of XP treats. For general leveling, seven Golden Piggies with a medium XP treat is enough, giving about 735 XP per second. If you’re going full meta, eight Golden Piggies with the treat maxes out the potential at 840 XP per second. Using a smith treat, if available, could multiply XP even more—potentially five times—so definitely consider swapping in stronger treats if you can.
Where Should I Get New Pets and Resources?
For players looking to expand their pet collection, the Roblox Grow a Garden Pets Store is a reliable place to check for pets, especially if you’re missing rare ones for crafting. Stocking up on essential materials from the store can save a lot of time and frustration compared to grinding them all manually. On a side note, some players also turn to platforms like U4GM to acquire certain in-game resources more quickly, though I always recommend prioritizing in-game progression first before considering outside sources.
Are There Any Bugs or Issues I Should Know About?
Currently, there’s a known bug when crafting the Golden Piggy: all tanning mirrors in your inventory may get consumed even if you only need one. This issue has been widely reported, so be prepared and don’t panic if it happens to you. A small reminder: double-check your inventory and plan crafting sessions carefully to avoid accidental loss of materials.
Any Personal Tips or Tricks?
From my experience, here are a few practical tips:
Always aim to craft the Silver Piggy first if you’re trying to minimize resource loss, since it can help duplicate items with a 50% chance.
Focus on building gold ingots steadily; it’s tedious, but having them ready makes leveling with Golden Piggy much faster.
Use the medium XP treat strategically. Only apply it when you have your full team ready to maximize XP gains.
Patience pays off. Overnight grinding with sprinklers or timed crafting can save a lot of active playtime.
In short, the Golden Piggy isn’t just a cute addition—it’s a core tool for anyone looking to level up efficiently in Grow a Garden.
The Golden Piggy has quickly become the meta for XP farming in Grow a Garden. With proper preparation, enough gold ingots, and the right XP treats, players can achieve exponential XP gains compared to traditional methods. While crafting can be tedious and minor bugs exist, the payoff is worth it for dedicated players. Combining strategic garden setup, careful pet management, and resource planning is key to making the most out of this powerful pet.
