If you’ve been playing Roblox Grow A Garden, you’ve probably noticed that pets can make a big difference in how efficiently you manage your crops. One of the more interesting options is the Silver Monkey, a Legendary Pet introduced in the Animal Update. In this guide, I’ll break down how it works, how most players use it, and what you should know before trying to get one.
What is the Silver Monkey?
The Silver Monkey is a Legendary Pet that can be obtained from the Legendary Egg. Its main appeal is its passive ability: it gives a chance to refund crops as you harvest. The chance is 8%, which means that, on average, you’ll get a small number of crops back while farming.
Most players see this as a quality-of-life boost rather than a game-changing advantage. The chance to refund crops is higher for common crops like Carrots and lower for rare crops like Bone Blossoms. If you’re farming rare items, don’t expect a huge return, but every little bit helps.
How Do You Get a Silver Monkey?
You can get the Silver Monkey by hatching the Legendary Egg. The hatch chance is 42.55%, so almost half of the Legendary Eggs can give you a Silver Monkey. In practice, this means that some players get lucky quickly, while others may need several tries.
Most players try to hatch multiple Legendary Eggs to increase their odds, and it’s common to see people trading for Silver Monkeys after repeated unsuccessful attempts. In general, patience is key when hunting for Legendary Pets like this.
Appearance and Visual Details
The Silver Monkey is essentially a recolored version of the regular Monkey. It has light and dark gray fur, which makes it stand out slightly from its common counterpart.
There are a few visual quirks you should know about. When viewed in the Pet Mutator, it appears as a regular Monkey—this seems to be a bug. Also, certain mutations like Inverted or Golden don’t fully change its model in the garden. For example, an Inverted Silver Monkey only has its eyes inverted in color, and a Golden mutation only adds golden rays rather than changing the whole pet’s color. Most players consider these visual quirks minor and don’t worry too much about them.
How Does the Silver Monkey’s Trait Work?
The main feature of the Silver Monkey is its 8% chance to refund crops. Here’s how it works in practice:
-
The chance stacks if you have more than one Silver Monkey, or even with regular Monkeys. So having multiple of these pets can increase your overall refund rate.
-
Common crops like Carrots and Potatoes are more likely to be refunded than rarer crops like Bone Blossoms.
-
The refunds are not guaranteed; it’s entirely chance-based, so you might go a while without seeing a refund.
Most players use the Silver Monkey when farming crops frequently because, over time, the refunded crops can save resources and speed up growth cycles. In general, it’s more useful for long-term farming than for short sessions.
Hunger and Maintenance
The Silver Monkey has about 8,000 hunger, which is standard for a Legendary Pet. Most players feed it regularly to keep it active. If the pet isn’t fed, it won’t provide any crop refunds, so maintaining it is important.
Common Questions from Players
Q: Is the Silver Monkey worth it? Most players say yes if you farm regularly. It’s not essential for casual play, but for active farmers, the 8% refund can add up over time.
Q: Can I get more than one? Yes. Stacking Silver Monkeys increases the refund chance. Many experienced players try to collect multiple to maximize efficiency.
Q: Does it affect all crops equally? No. Common crops are more likely to be refunded, while rare crops have a smaller chance.
Q: Are there any glitches? Some minor visual bugs exist with mutations, but they don’t affect gameplay. In practice, most players ignore these cosmetic issues.
Tips from Experienced Players
-
If you want to maximize the refund effect, pair Silver Monkeys with regular Monkeys. This stacking is usually more effective than adding multiple Silver Monkeys alone.
-
Focus on farming crops that are common if you want more frequent refunds. Rare crops are less likely to be returned, so don’t rely on the refund for high-value crops.
-
Keep your Silver Monkeys fed to maintain their passive ability. Unfed pets won’t refund crops.
-
For newer players looking to save resources, cheap grow a garden pets like regular Monkeys can complement the Silver Monkey and improve overall efficiency without spending too much.
Summary
The Silver Monkey is a reliable Legendary Pet for players who farm regularly in Grow A Garden. Its main benefit is the 8% chance to refund crops, which can be stacked with other Monkeys to improve efficiency. While the refund chance is better for common crops, it still helps reduce resource waste over time. The Silver Monkey also has some visual quirks, but these don’t affect gameplay.
For players who are serious about farming, keeping one or more Silver Monkeys fed and active is generally worth the effort. Patience is key when hatching the Legendary Egg, but the long-term benefits make it a useful addition to your garden.
