What is the Magnifying Glass?
The Magnifying Glass is a Mythical-tier gear item that lets you check the exact value of any crop while it’s still growing in your garden. Before this tool existed, the only way to know a crop’s value was to harvest it and take it to the Sell Stuff Stand. Now you can make smart decisions about which crops to keep growing and which ones to harvest right away.
The tool looks just like a real magnifying glass, with black lines and a glass lens in the middle. When you use it on a crop, the exact Sheckle value appears above the plant, showing you exactly what you would get for it!
Where to Get the Magnifying Glass
You can buy the Magnifying Glass from the Gear Stall. Look for the stall with the green and white striped canopy – it’s located between the Pet Egg Stall and the Cosmetic/Crafting Stall.
The Magnifying Glass costs:
- 10,000,000 Sheckles for the in-game currency option
- 99 Robux for the premium option
Each purchase gives you a Magnifying Glass with 10 uses, so you’ll need to buy it again once you’ve used it 10 times. Currently, there’s no known crafting recipe for the Magnifying Glass. The Gear Shop is the only confirmed way to obtain this item.
How the Magnifying Glass Works
Using the Magnifying Glass is simple:
- Equip the Tool – Click on the Magnifying Glass in your inventory to hold it
- Target a Crop – Point at any fully grown crop in your garden
- Click to Inspect – Click on the crop while holding the Magnifying Glass
- Read the Value – The exact Sheckle value appears above the plant
Cost Analysis: Sheckles vs Robux
Sheckle Purchase (10,000,000)
This option is better for players who have built up a good income from their gardens. If you’re earning several million Sheckles per harvest, the 10 million cost is reasonable for the information you’ll get.
Best for: Established players with steady income streams
Robux Purchase (99 Robux)
This option costs real money but saves you from spending your hard-earned Sheckles. At roughly $1-2 in real money, it’s relatively affordable for the convenience it provides.
Best for: Players who want to conserve their Sheckles for other purchases or those who don’t mind spending a small amount of real money
The Magnifying Glass is one of the most practical tools available in Grow a Garden. While 10,000,000 Sheckles or 99 Robux might seem expensive, the information it provides can help you make much more profitable decisions about your garden.
