About Sandy
The Sandy mutation multiplies a crop's base sell value by x3. Look for it during Sandstorm. It can also be applied by the Jackalope pet.
Sandy — In-Depth Analysis
Sandstorm is the main route to Sandy: the weather notes say it raises the chance of Sandy fruit, and the Jackalope pet can apply it outside the storm.
The x3 of Sandy ranks 178th out of 192, in a crowd with Sleepy, Meatball, Luck, Heartstruck, Moist, Coin, Sauce and Vamp. What sets it apart in that crowd is a recipe. According to the wiki, Clay is made by combining Wet or Drenched with Sandy, and it pays x5. Since Wet is a x2 mutation, a crop that picks up Wet and Sandy and fuses them into Clay goes from stacking two small bonuses to a single x5 one. Drenched, the x5 water mutation from Tropical Rain and similar weathers, works in the same recipe, so heavy rain followed by a sandstorm leads to the same Clay.
