Buttercup Quest Event

The Buttercup Quest Event premiered on January 24, 2026, and it is one of the meatier content drops on this list because it bundled several systems at once: a brand-new currency, new seeds, and new pets. The word Quest in the name is the key — this was a structured, objective-driven event rather than a passive merchant, so progress came from completing tasks instead of just spending Sheckles.

The new currency is the engine that ties it together. As with Grow a Garden's other event tokens, you earn Buttercup Coins through the quest line and then spend them on the event-exclusive seeds and pets, which makes efficient questing the highest-leverage activity of the run. Don't hoard the currency indefinitely — plan your spend around the pet and seeds you most want before the storefront retires.

Because it introduced fresh seeds and pets together, the smart order is to grab a pet first (pets are usually the scarcest, longest-tail reward), then secure event seeds you can plant and propagate for future value. Treat it as a time-limited quest event: prioritize the quest objectives early, keep plot and pet-bench space open, and convert every Buttercup Coin before the window closes.
