How to Purchase Crimson Thorn from Seed Shop?

The most reliable way to get Crimson Thorn is through direct purchase from the Seed Shop, though you’ll need serious patience. Has a 0.01% (1/10,000) chance to be in stock in the Seed Shop. A user can purchase a seed for 10,000,000,000 or 1149 Robux.

Pricing Breakdown:

• Sheckles Cost: 10,000,000,000 (10 billion)
• Robux Cost: 1,149 Robux
• Spawn Rate: 0.01% (1 in 10,000 chance)

This makes it the most expensive crop in the game, beating the Maple Resin, and the first seed in the seed shop to be over 1000 robux.

Discord Alert Strategy (Most Effective!)

Here’s my #1 tip that changed everything for me: join the official Grow a Garden Stock Discord server. This is absolutely game changing because:

1. Real time notifications – Get pinged the second Crimson Thorn appears
2. Multiple server coverage – Track restocks across different servers
3. Community alerts – Other players share when they spot it
4. Role specific pings – Set up notifications just for Crimson Thorn

I’ve successfully grabbed 3 Crimson Thorn seeds using this method, compared to 0 from manual checking. The competition is fierce, so speed is everything!

Alternative Methods to Obtain Crimson Thorn

Pet-Based Methods

Red Fox Approach: The Red Fox is your best pet companion for Crimson Thorn hunting. Can be stolen by a Red Fox, which means if someone else has a Crimson Thorn growing, your Red Fox might snag it. Not exactly ethical, but it’s a game mechanic!

Dog Family Strategy: Very rarely dug up by a Dog, Golden Lab or Shiba Inu. I keep all three of these pets active and have them constantly digging. The success rate is incredibly low, but it’s passive income while you focus on other methods.

Snail Method (Best for Multiplying): Once you have your first Crimson Thorn, the Snail becomes invaluable. Snail, yield a seed when harvested, giving you a chance to duplicate your investment.

Lucky Harvest System

Lucky Harvest can occasionally grant Crimson Thorn seeds, but this is extremely rare. Focus on planting other Transcendent crops to trigger Lucky Harvests, though don’t expect this to be your primary method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Crimson Thorn worth 10 billion Sheckles?

Absolutely! As the most valuable multi harvest crop in the game, it pays for itself within a few harvest cycles, especially with good mutations. The prestige factor alone makes it worthwhile for serious players.

How long does it take to find Crimson Thorn in stock?

With Discord alerts, you could find it within hours. Without alerts, it could take weeks or months of manual checking. The 0.01% spawn rate means patience is essential.

Can I get Crimson Thorn for free?

While pets can potentially find or steal Crimson Thorn seeds, these methods are extremely unreliable. The Seed Shop purchase remains the only consistent method, though it requires significant Sheckle investment.

What’s the best pet combination for Crimson Thorn hunting?

Use Red Fox for stealing opportunities, Dog/Golden Lab/Shiba Inu for digging chances, and Snail once you have a Crimson Thorn growing. Red Panda can also help with shop restocks.

Should I buy multiple Crimson Thorn seeds?

If you can afford it, yes! Having multiple plants increases your harvest frequency and mutation opportunities. However, prioritize one first, then expand your collection.
