The Fall Market 2 update has completely transformed Grow a Garden, and I’ll be honest I was totally overwhelmed when I first logged in. There’s this whole new Fall Energy system that confused me initially, but after spending countless hours grinding through activities, I’ve figured out exactly how this mechanic works and how to maximize your rewards.
If you’re struggling to understand how to get Fall Energy in Grow a Garden, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been playing since the update dropped, and I can tell you that mastering this system is crucial for accessing all the amazing fall-themed rewards. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know, from the basic mechanics to advanced strategies I’ve developed through trial and error.
Fall Energy is the new currency system introduced in the Fall Market 2 update. Think of it as your daily “activity points” that you earn by completing specific Fall Harvest activities. I discovered that you can earn 10-25 Fall Energy each time you complete a quest, and the system resets every 24 hours, giving you rewards based on how much energy you’ve accumulated.
What makes this system particularly interesting is that it’s not just about grinding endlessly. I learned the hard way that every 24 hours, all your accumulated Fall Energy will reset and give you rewards. This means you need to be strategic about when and how you collect your energy to maximize your daily haul.
When I first tried to find the Fall Activities, I was running around the map like a headless chicken. Here’s exactly where you need to go and what you need to do:
Head to the center of the map and look for the Fall Tree it’s that massive autumn-themed tree that’s hard to miss. The Fall Harvest NPC is positioned directly opposite this tree, sitting behind a merchant stall with two information boards on either side.
Walk up to the Fall Harvest NPC and press the E key to interact. You’ll see several options appear, but the one you want is “See Activities.”
Clicking “See Activities” opens up the Fall Activities interface, where you’ll see three active quests at any given time. These are the tasks you need to complete to earn Fall Energy.
I found that the interface is pretty intuitive once you get used to it. Each quest shows exactly what you need to do and how much Fall Energy you’ll earn upon completion.
After documenting every quest I’ve encountered over the past week, here’s the comprehensive list of all possible Fall Activities you might see:
I’ve spent hours testing this system, and here’s exactly how it functions:
Every 24 hours at server reset time, your Fall Energy counter resets to zero. Before this happens, you automatically receive one reward from your current tier pool. I learned this the hard way when I lost 480 Fall Energy because I didn’t understand the reset timing.
When you complete a quest, it immediately gets replaced by a new one. This means you can theoretically complete unlimited quests within the 24-hour window, as long as you have the resources and time.
If you’re stuck with quests you can’t complete, you can manually refresh all three activities by spending 50,000 Sheckles the first time. I found this helpful when I got stuck with expensive quests like “Place 1x Godly Sprinkler.”
The refresh cost increases each time you use it, so I only recommend doing this if you’re confident you can complete the new set of quests efficiently.
There’s a board to the left of the Fall Harvest NPC that shows your current Fall Energy total and which reward tier you’ll unlock. I check this frequently to track my progress throughout the day.
Understanding the reward tiers is crucial for maximizing your daily gains. Here’s the complete breakdown based on my testing:
Possible Rewards:
This is the minimum viable tier. I usually aim for at least this much energy even on busy days when I can’t play much.
Possible Rewards:
The 100-point tier offers significantly better value. I try to hit this tier most days since it’s achievable with 4-10 completed quests depending on their energy values.
Possible Rewards:
This tier starts offering some high-value items like the Godly Sprinkler, which alone is worth millions of Sheckles.
Possible Rewards:
The Maple Sprinkler and Fall Crate make this tier particularly attractive for serious players.
Possible Rewards:
This is where the rewards get really good. Multiple Fall Eggs and Seed Packs can set you up for huge profits.
Possible Rewards:
The 500-tier rewards are absolutely game-changing. Maple Resin alone can be worth billions of Sheckles, making this the ultimate goal for dedicated players.
After a week of optimization, here’s the exact strategy I use to consistently hit 400+ Fall Energy per day:
Stockpile Common Items: I always keep a supply of basic seeds, watering cans, and sprinklers in my inventory. This lets me complete quests immediately without having to shop around.
Focus on High-Energy Quests: Some quests give 25 Fall Energy while others only give 10. I prioritize the higher-value ones when possible.
Time Your Login: I try to log in right after the daily reset to get a full 24 hours of quest completion time.
Use the Plant Types Guide: Understanding which plants belong to which categories helps with Harvest Spirit submission quests.
Save Expensive Items: If I get a quest for something expensive like a Godly Sprinkler, I sometimes use the manual refresh if I’m close to a good reward tier.
Based on my experience and watching other players, here are the biggest mistakes people make:
I lost significant rewards early on because I didn’t realize the 24-hour reset was tied to server time, not when I started playing. Always check your current energy level before logging off.
While it’s tempting to only focus on 25-energy quests, sometimes completing multiple 10-energy quests is faster and more reliable.
Don’t wait until you get a quest to buy the required items. Stock up on common seeds, tools, and pet food in advance.
The manual refresh feature is expensive and gets more costly each use. Only refresh if you’re confident you can complete the new quest set more efficiently.
Don’t forget about the other fall event mechanics like Fall Mutations and the regular gameplay progression.
The Fall Energy system works alongside several other fall-themed events and mechanics:
Many Fall Energy quests tie into the Fall Bloom event. Contributing to Fall Blooms not only helps unlock shop restocks but can also complete your “Trigger 1x Fall Bloom” quest.
The various fall-themed shops sell items that are frequently required for Fall Energy quests. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the Fall Market Event shops and their inventories.
Several quests involve growing pets to specific ages or feeding them special items. Having a good understanding of the pet system will help you complete these quests more efficiently.
If you’re looking to maximize your Fall Energy gains and consistently hit the 500-tier rewards, here are some advanced strategies I’ve developed:
While I don’t personally use multiple accounts, I’ve observed that players who do can help each other with tasks like the rake quest (where another player needs to step on your rake).
Join active lobbies where players are working together on Fall Bloom events. This makes Fall Bloom-related quests much easier to complete.
Track the Sheckle costs of items required for common quests. Sometimes it’s worth taking a small loss on expensive quest items if it gets you into a higher reward tier.
If you’re able to play at different times, experiment with logging in right after server resets to maximize your 24-hour window.
If you complete a quest objective but don’t receive credit, try rejoining the server. This has worked for me several times when the tracking got glitched.
Energy is automatically converted to rewards at the 24-hour reset. If you think you’ve lost energy, check if you received a reward item in your inventory.
If you’re stuck with quests requiring expensive items, consider using the manual refresh option or simply accepting that you’ll hit a lower reward tier that day.
During peak times, some quest tracking can be delayed. Give actions a few seconds to register, especially for pet feeding and infrastructure placement.
Based on patterns from previous Grow a Garden events, I expect the Fall Energy system to evolve over time. The developers typically add new quest types and adjust reward pools based on player feedback.
There’s technically no limit since quests reset immediately upon completion. I’ve personally earned over 600 Fall Energy in a single day during a intensive grinding session, but 200-400 is more realistic for most players.
Yes, the 24-hour reset happens regardless of whether you’re online. Make sure to log in daily to collect your rewards and start fresh.
No, Fall Energy resets every 24 hours and automatically converts to rewards. You can’t accumulate energy across multiple days.
Generally, quest progress is saved server-side, so you should still receive credit when you log back in. However, I recommend completing quests when you have a stable connection.
Yes, I’ve noticed that harvesting and planting quests appear more frequently than pet-related or expensive equipment quests.
Yes, quests can repeat. I’ve had the “Harvest 20x Corn” quest appear multiple times in the same day.
I personally target the 250 Fall Energy tier as it offers the best balance of effort versus reward value. The 500 tier is amazing but requires significant time investment.
No, Fall Energy rewards from quests are fixed regardless of your player level or progression in the game.
Mastering the Fall Energy system in Grow a Garden has become one of my favorite aspects of the fall update. While it might seem overwhelming at first, once you understand the mechanics and develop a routine, it becomes a rewarding daily activity that can significantly boost your in-game wealth and resources.
The key is consistency—logging in daily, preparing resources in advance, and focusing on achievable goals rather than always trying to hit the maximum tier. I’ve found that steady progress over time is more valuable than sporadic intense grinding sessions.
Remember that this is still a relatively new system, and strategies will continue to evolve as players discover new optimizations and the developers make adjustments. Stay flexible, experiment with different approaches, and most importantly, have fun with it!
The fall season in Grow a Garden is limited-time, so make the most of these unique rewards while they’re available. Whether you’re a casual player aiming for the 100-energy tier or a dedicated farmer pushing for those coveted 500-tier rewards, there’s something in this system for everyone.
