How to Get Prickle Fruit Seeds

The Prickle Fruit seed is a legendary, multi-harvest crop introduced in the Kitchen Storm Event (August 2–16, 2025). To obtain it, you'll need to complete the Rat Connoisseur quest, which offers a 5% chance to reward the seed. While 5% might sound low, the quest is straightforward and repeatable, making it easier than it seems. Here's the step-by-step method:

1. Plant Common Crops: Use easily obtainable seeds like Strawberries or Tomatoes. These are cheap, quick to grow, and perfect for this method. For example, planting 200 Strawberry seeds can yield plenty of crops for the quest.

2. Harvest Mutated Crops: Wait for your crops to gain mutations (e.g., Wet, Chilled, or Moonlit) during weather events or with pet boosts. Only collect crops with mutations, as these are required for the quest.

3. Cook Mutated Dishes: Head to the Cooking Pot and combine five mutated crops to create a dish. Strawberries yield Smoothies, while Tomatoes produce Salads. Cooking with common crops takes about 7 minutes, making it efficient.

4. Feed the Rat Connoisseur: Give the dish to the Rat Connoisseur NPC. Each successful dish has a 5% chance to reward a Prickle Fruit seed. Repeat this process to increase your odds.

Pro Tip: Set up a dedicated event farm with fast-growing, common crops to streamline this process. The more mutated dishes you produce, the higher your chances of snagging the seed.

Maximizing Prickle Fruit Growth

Once you've got your Prickle Fruit seed, it's time to make it grow massive. The Prickle Fruit has a base weight of 7.6 kg and a base sell price of 72,200 Sheckles, but with the right setup, you can push its value into the billions. Here's how to optimize growth:

Step 1: Use the Sprinkler Method

Sprinklers are key to boosting crop size. Place one of each sprinkler type around your Prickle Fruit:

• Basic Sprinkler

• Advanced Sprinkler

• Godly Sprinkler

• Master Sprinkler

• Grandmaster Sprinkler (costs 280 Robux but worth it for serious farmers)

Avoid placing multiple sprinklers of the same type, as this doesn't stack. Position the Prickle Fruit in the center of your garden, where pets naturally gather, to maximize passive boosts.

Step 2: Leverage Pet Abilities

Certain pets can supercharge your Prickle Fruit's growth:

• Moon Cat: Increases crop size by 1.56x when napping nearby. Place the seed near a Pancake item to attract Moon Cats for consistent buffs.

• Blood Hedgehog: A game-changer for Prickly Fruits, this pet provides a 2.05x size multiplier and a 1.18x mutation chance boost within a 30-stud radius. Stack multiple Blood Hedgehogs for even bigger results.

• Triceratops: Speeds up growth significantly, potentially instant-growing your crop. This pet is a must-have for impatient farmers.

Pro Tip: If you don't have a Pancake, plant the Prickle Fruit in the garden's center to ensure pets like Moon Cats and Blood Hedgehogs naturally boost it.

Step 3: Timing and Patience

After planting, water the Prickle Fruit with a watering can to kickstart growth. Let it grow naturally while your sprinklers and pets work their magic. A single Prickle Fruit can reach sizes like 62 kg without Hedgehogs or up to 95 kg with two Blood Hedgehogs, as seen in recent experiments.

Stacking Mutations for Massive Profits

Mutations are where the Prickle Fruit's value skyrockets. With the right combination, a 7.6 kg Prickle Fruit can go from 72,200 Sheckles to hundreds of millions—or even billions. Here's how to stack mutations effectively:

• Accessible Mutations: Start with easy-to-get mutations like Golden (20x), Frozen (10x), Chilled (2x), Moonlit (2x), Windstruck (2x), Sandy (3x), Cloudtouched (5x), Fried (8x), Tempestuous (12x), and Shocked (100x). These can be triggered via weather events, sprinklers, or pets like the Dragonfly (for Golden).

• Rare Mutations: If you're lucky during admin events (e.g., Meteor Strike, Black Hole), add high-value mutations like Meteoric (25x), Disco (125x), Galactic (120x), Celestial (120x), or Voidtouched (135x). These can push your crop's value into the stratosphere.

• Friend Boost: Playing with friends adds a boost (up to 50%) to your crop's value. Combine this with mutations for maximum profit.

Using a mutation calculator, a 62 kg Prickle Fruit with common mutations can reach 15 billion Sheckles. With rare mutations and a friend boost, a 95 kg Prickle Fruit can hit 300 billion Sheckles or more. The Prickle Fruit's lack of a size cap makes it a potential goldmine, but act fast—this could be patched soon.

Why Prickle Fruit Is a Game-Changer

The Prickle Fruit's high base value, multi-harvest nature, and synergy with Blood Hedgehogs make it a top-tier crop. Compared to the Bone Blossom, it's easier to obtain and can yield similar profits with the right setup. Its prickly nature also benefits from Hedgehog pets, making it a versatile choice for dedicated farmers.
