The Swan's Bird of Grace ability applies the Graceful mutation to nearby crops every 5-6 minutes, providing a massive 77x price multiplier that can transform ordinary fruits into valuable treasures. This consistent mutation application makes the Swan one of the most profitable pets in the entire game.
The Graceful mutation isn't just about raw numbers – it's about strategic wealth building. When applied to high-value crops like Candy Blossoms or rare event fruits, a single Graceful mutation can generate millions of Sheckles from a single harvest. The visual effect creates an elegant, swan-inspired glow that makes affected crops immediately recognizable, allowing you to prioritize their harvest and protection.
What sets the Graceful mutation apart from other mutations is its exclusivity. Unlike many mutations triggered by weather or random chance, Graceful is exclusively applied by specific pet abilities, primarily the Swan. This controlled application means you can strategically position your Swan near your most valuable crops for maximum profit potential.
Swan Song activates roughly every 25 minutes, allowing the Swan to visit another player's garden and copy one of their equipped pet abilities, applying it to your farm. This remarkable ability essentially gives you access to abilities from pets you don't even own, making the Swan incredibly versatile.
The true power of Swan Song emerges in populated servers with endgame players. Imagine your Swan copying abilities from rare pets like:
This mimicry ability means your Swan's effectiveness scales with the quality of pets in your server. The better the pets around you, the more valuable your Swan becomes. It's essentially a force multiplier that turns other players' investments into your profit.
The primary method to obtain a Swan is through the Fall Egg, available at the Fall Pet Shop for 90-95 million Sheckles during the Fall Market Event. This substantial investment reflects the Swan's Divine rarity and powerful abilities.
To purchase Fall Eggs efficiently:
For beginners without millions of Sheckles, you can earn free Fall Eggs by submitting plants to the Harvest Spirit NPC (the massive old tree) at the center of the play area. This method requires patience but offers a free path to potentially hatching a Swan:
Premium Fall Eggs can be purchased with Robux through the in-game shop, with packages ranging from 199 Robux for one egg to 1699 Robux for ten eggs. The premium eggs feature a pity system that guarantees rewards:
Given the Swan's high trading value, acquiring one through player trading is viable if you have valuable assets. As a Divine-tier pet, the Swan holds considerable trade value among players, especially those focusing on mutation strategies. Consider trading:
I've discovered through extensive testing that your garden layout significantly impacts the Swan's effectiveness. Here are proven strategies to maximize your Graceful mutation application:
Focused Farming Strategy: The fewer plants you have, the more likely the Swan can mutate the fruits that you want to get the Graceful Mutation. This concentrated approach means:
Server Selection Strategy: Avoid playing on a private server with the Swan in your garden, unless the server already has plenty of other players. The Swan Song ability requires other players' pets to copy, making populated servers essential for maximizing both abilities.
Pairing the Swan with certain pets can enhance its effectiveness significantly. Here are the best synergy combinations I've tested:
Swan + Mimic Octopus Combo: When a Mimic Octopus targets a Swan, it copies the Swan's second ability, Bird of Grace, allowing for more frequent application of the Graceful mutation. This doubles your Graceful mutation frequency, creating a mutation factory that can transform your entire garden.
Swan + Wisp Combo: The Wisp provides XP boosts to all pets, helping your Swan level up faster and reducing ability cooldowns. A higher-level Swan means more frequent mutations and better Swan Song targeting.
Swan + Phoenix Combo: Combining the Swan's consistent Graceful applications with the Phoenix's rare mutations creates opportunities for valuable mutation stacking, potentially achieving multipliers exceeding 5,000x base value.
Mutation stacking represents the pinnacle of Grow a Garden profit optimization. There have been cases where mutations stack to increase the price many times over, such as a Wet Shocked Rainbow fruit having a price 5,000 times the base price. With your Swan, you can achieve similar results:
With a hunger stat of 56,000, the Swan requires regular feeding to maintain its effectiveness. Proper maintenance ensures consistent ability activation:
The Swan's trading value fluctuates based on several factors, but it consistently ranks among the most valuable pets in Grow a Garden. Based on current market analysis:
When trading for or with a Swan, consider these market factors:
High-Demand Periods:
Value Propositions for Trades:
There is an incredibly rare (1/10,000) chance that the swan appears black, with a majority dark grey body with white feather tips. This ultra-rare variant isn't just cosmetic – it's a status symbol that commands astronomical trading values.
Black Swan characteristics:
If you hatch a Black Swan, consider carefully before trading. Its rarity means its value will likely increase over time as fewer remain in circulation.
Top players use what I call the "Mutation Factory" approach:
This passive approach maximizes offline gains:
During special events, Swan owners can multiply their advantages:
While both pets have mimicking abilities, the Swan serves both as a mimic and mutator pet, making it an excellent pet for mutation stacking. The Swan's dual functionality and Graceful mutation application generally make it more valuable, though the Mimic Octopus has a shorter mimicking cooldown.
Yes! Keep participating in the Fall Market Event for a chance to get more Swan that you can use to spam the Graceful Mutation or additional pieces for pet trades. Multiple Swans multiply your mutation frequency and trading potential.
Using a Swan on an empty private server severely limits its potential. The Swan Song ability won't function without other players' pets to copy, reducing the Swan to only its Bird of Grace ability. Always prioritize populated public servers.
Swan's consistent, self-sufficient nature and steady value boost makes it more reliable than Kitsune's luck-based mechanics, though Corrupted Kitsune's multi-fruit buffing can surpass Swan in specific scenarios.
Unless you desperately need other pets or resources, keeping your first Swan is recommended. Its consistent money-making potential will help you acquire more pets and resources faster than trading it away would provide.
The Swan can only apply Graceful mutation, but this can stack with mutations from other sources. The key is combining Swan's Graceful with mutations from weather events, other pets, or special seeds.
Medium-populated servers (15-20 players) offer the best balance. You get diverse pets for Swan Song copying while maintaining reasonable chances for your mutations to target desired fruits.
Yes, as your Swan ages and gains XP, its ability cooldowns decrease slightly and success rates improve. Regular feeding maintains the Swan's hunger stat to ensure abilities remain consistently active.
Swan Song specifically visits other players' farms to copy abilities, meaning physical proximity in the game world doesn't matter – it randomly selects from all players in your server.
Currently, Swan can only be obtained from the Fall Egg, which you can get during the Fall Market Event. There are no other eggs or methods that can produce a Swan pet besides trading with other players.
