Biggest Shadow Buttercup

The Biggest Shadow Buttercup is a limited Transcendent crop tied to the Buttercup Quest Event, and that single fact reshapes its whole economic logic. You cannot simply buy a seed and reseed it on demand, so there is no "is the seed worth its cost" math here in the usual sense. Its value is gated entirely by event availability, which means the real cost is your time and quest completion during a narrow window, not Sheckles.

Because it sits in the Transcendent tier, the highest rarity bracket in the game, its base sell value is enormous before any mutation even applies. That makes it one of the few crops where chasing stacked mutations is almost always correct rather than optional. Growth weight multipliers, environmental procs like Wet, Chilled or Frozen, and rare event mutations all compound on an already huge base, so a single heavily-mutated specimen can outsell entire racks of common produce.

Treat this as a late-progression trophy harvest, not a cash crop. Grow it only when you can babysit it for top mutations, and hold it for a deliberate high-multiplier sell rather than dumping it raw.
