How to Use the Cleansing Pet Shard
Using the Cleansing Pet Shard is straightforward but permanent:
- Step 1: Equip the Shard: Go to your garden and equip the Cleansing Pet Shard in your hand from your inventory.
- Step 2: Select Target Pet: Move close to the mutated pet you want to cleanse and point your cursor at it.
- Step 3: Apply the Cleansing: Left-click on the pet to use the Cleansing Pet Shard. The pet’s mutation will be instantly removed.
Before buying a Cleansing Pet Shard just to change mutations, consider that you can replace existing mutations by simply applying a new pet mutation shard. The new mutation will overwrite the old one without needing to cleanse first. This makes the Cleansing Pet Shard mainly useful when you want to return a pet to its completely original state rather than just switching to a different mutation.
Is the Cleansing Pet Shard Worth It?
The value of the Cleansing Pet Shard depends on your specific needs:
- For Mutation Switching: Not recommended. If you just want to change your pet’s mutation, simply use another mutation shard instead. This will replace the existing mutation without needing to cleanse first.
- For Crafting: Yes, worth getting. The Cleansing Pet Shard is used as a crafting ingredient for making Giant Bean pet shards. This allows you to craft more Giant Bean shards without waiting for shop restocks.
- For Original Appearance: Worth it if you really want it. If you genuinely prefer your pet’s original look and want to remove all mutations permanently, then it serves its purpose.
- For Future Updates: Possibly valuable. Like other cleansing items, the Cleansing Pet Shard might be needed for crafting other mutation shards in future updates.
The Cleansing Pet Shard fills a specific niche in Grow a Garden’s pet mutation system. While it’s not essential for most players, it becomes valuable for crafting and situations where you truly want to restore a pet to its original state.
