About Pestilent
Pestilent is a crop mutation with a x8 multiplier on the base sell value. The Hex Serpent pet can apply it after devouring five single-harvest crops in the Hex Square cosmetic.
Pestilent — In-Depth Analysis
Pestilent exists only through the Hex Serpent pet, and only after the Serpent has eaten five single-harvest crops inside the Hex Square cosmetic. Nothing else in the listing produces it.
Its x8 places it 137th of 192, level with Static, Necrotic, Eggnog and Spooky. Its main use shows up in the combining table: Blight (x8, applied by the Dark Spriggan pet) plus Pestilent makes Umbral at x30. That is nearly four times either parent, which makes this one of the cheapest jumps from x8 to the x30 band, though both halves have to land on the same crop. Blight, the other half of the Umbral recipe, comes from the Dark Spriggan pet, so Umbral needs two different pets working on the same crop.
