Everything You Need To Know About Pet Mutation Shard Oxpecker in Grow a Garden
How To Obtain
As of the Mega Safari Harvest Event, the Pet Mutation Shard Oxpecker is a limited-time item you can get as a reward for submitting pets to Safari Joe. This is a new NPC who appears on the map every hour during the Safari Harvest event. You can only interact with him for 10 minutes. Safari Joe has a tiered reward system, with the value of the pet you submit determining the chances of a reward drop.
You can get a Pet Mutation Shard from numerous reward tiers. Below is a list explaining the pet value range and its corresponding drop chances:
| Pet Value Range | Drop Chance |
|---|---|
| 20-39 | 2.44% |
| 40-59 | 7.69% |
| 60-79 | 8% |
| 80-99 | 6.02% |
Submitting a pet that has a value of between 60 and 79 to Safari Joe gives you the best chance of acquiring a Pet Mutation Shard Oxpecker. You can ask Safari Joe what the value of a pet is before submitting it to make sure it falls between the above-listed numbers.
After obtaining the shard, you can use it on any of your pets to give it the Oxpecker mutation.
Oxpecker Pet Mutation Trait
The Oxpecker pet mutation, just like the pet, boosts the ability cooldown times of all of the other Safari-type pets in your garden. Here is a detailed explanation of the mutation ability:
- Safari Support: All Safari-Type pets equipped in your garden get a 14-30 second lower ability cooldown when an Oxpecker pet is active in your garden.
This is the most valuable if you are running many Safari-type pets in your garden, such as the Lion, Elephant, Giraffe, and others.
