99 Nights in the Forest Elemental Class Guide (September 2026)
Elemental landed in 99 Nights in the Forest on September 5, with the New Classes update, and it runs on…
I spent way too many nights climbing the Beanstalk before I figured out the actual fastest route to this crop, so let me save you the grind. The Elder Beanstalk seed drops from a Beanpod Chest, which you earn by filling Jill’s Golden Cauldron with Gold-mutated plants at the top of a fully grown Beanstalk. Here’s the full breakdown.
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Crop type | Prismatic, multi-harvest |
| Source | Beanpod Chest (Beanstalk Event Part 2) |
| Drop chance | 0.5% per chest |
| Base weight | ~10 kg |
| Produce value | ~117,325–180,000 Sheckles |
| Harvest type | Multi-harvest (no replanting needed) |
The Elder Beanstalk is a Prismatic-tier crop added during Part 2 of the 2026 Beanstalk Event, running alongside new additions like Harpvine and Fableflower. Unlike a normal seed shop purchase, you can’t buy this one directly — it’s locked behind an event chest with a genuinely low drop rate. What makes it worth chasing is that it’s a multi-harvest plant, so a single seed keeps producing Sheckles without you needing to replant every cycle.
Don’t burn your Gold-mutated plants on other crafting recipes before you’ve filled the cauldron — Gold mutations are the one resource the cauldron demands, and running short mid-climb means starting the whole grow-and-climb loop over. It’s also worth double-checking Jack’s requested trait before dumping your inventory, since off-trait crops don’t count toward the shared meter.
Head to the central event area and talk to Jack. He’ll request a specific plant trait (Berry, Flower, Fruit, Leafy, Vegetable, Woody, Prickly, Stalky, or Tropical) that refreshes every hour. Submit matching crops to fill the shared server meter until the Beanstalk fully grows.
Once the tree is grown, climb it and head to the far end of the cloud island to find Jill and her Golden Cauldron. You need to deposit Gold-mutated plants — the requirement ranges between 30 and 75 kg total, so stockpile Gold mutations ahead of time rather than scrambling mid-climb.
Filling the cauldron brews a Beanpod Chest. Each chest gives just a 0.5% chance at the Elder Beanstalk seed, alongside other rewards like the Chest Mimic pet. Because the odds are low, plan on farming multiple chests across several climbs rather than expecting a single attempt to pay off.
Each Elder Beanstalk produce carries a price floor of roughly 117,325 Sheckles, with an average sell value closer to 130,000 Sheckles, and top rolls reportedly reaching up near 180,000 Sheckles. Combined with its multi-harvest nature, one healthy plant can realistically outproduce several lower-tier crops over the same play session, since you’re not spending time or seeds replanting after every pick.
If you actually land the seed, yes — plant it immediately. The combination of a six-figure Sheckle value and repeat harvesting makes it one of the stronger long-term income crops introduced this event, especially compared to single-harvest Prismatic plants that need constant reseeding. The real bottleneck isn’t the plant itself, it’s the RNG on the Beanpod Chest, so treat cauldron runs as a grind you chip away at over multiple sessions rather than a one-and-done task.
If you’re still building up toward your first successful climb, check our Grow a Garden Beanstalk event guide for the full contribution rewards breakdown, and our Grow a Garden values list to see how the Elder Beanstalk stacks up against other Prismatic crops before deciding how much garden space to dedicate to it.
No. It’s not available in the standard Seed Shop — it only drops from Beanpod Chests earned via the Golden Cauldron.
Each Beanpod Chest gives roughly a 0.5% chance at the Elder Beanstalk seed, making it one of the rarer pulls in the current event.
Expect a price floor around 117,325 Sheckles and an average closer to 130,000 Sheckles per harvest, with top values reported near 180,000.
Yes, Jill’s Golden Cauldron only accepts Gold-mutated produce, and you’ll need between 30 and 75 kg to fill it.
No, it’s multi-harvest, meaning you can collect produce repeatedly from the same plant without replanting a new seed each time.
