The Grow A Garden Barn Owl, is, in my opinion, the best pet from the entire Grow A Garden Fall Market Update.
Although the Swan is the rarest pet to hatch out of the Fall Egg, and the Space Squirrel is the rarest pet to find in stock inside the Fall Pets Shop, the Barn Owl is the best pet that’s been added to the game in a long time. Keep reading to find out why…
The Grow A Garden Fall Egg contains five different pets, and from these five pets, there are two different pets which have a 1% chance, which is rare. Usually, we get a 1% pet and then a 3% pet, but this time, we got a 1% pet (the swan) and then a 1.5% pet (the barn owl).
Here are the percentage chances for each of the five pets:
- Robin – 55% chance
- Badger – 32.5% chance
- Grizzly Bear – 10% chance
- Barn Owl – 1.5% chance
- Swan – 1% chance
The Barn Owl has a really cute design, and genuinely looks like a barn owl, with white on its chest, like the chest feathers on a barn owl, with a white face, and big black eyes, a pink beak and pink feet.
It has cute little wings, and little brown square fall from the Barn Owl as it walks or flies around your garden.
I like that the devs gave the owl glowing accents in the eyes, just like the other owls in the game, but there isn’t a glowing aura that surrounds the owl, like the other owls (blood owl, night owl and owl).
What is it that makes the Barn Owl so OP? Well, here’s its ability:
“Pets bought directly from shops have a bonus 0.1 to 0.21 KG to their base weight (max 3kg). All active Fall type pets gain an additional 0.70XP per second”.
Before the Barn Owl was introduced, when purchasing pets from the in-game pet shops, like the Fairy World Pet Shop or the Blood Moon Shop, the pets would have a randomized weight from 0.88kg to 1.3kg, and that was the pet’s weight. You couldn’t do anything to influence how big/small they would be.
With the Barn Owl equipped, when you click purchase on a pet shop pet, you get a pop-up message at the top of your screen to tell you the amount of bonus weight that was applied to your newly bought pet.
Now, this effect stacks, so the more Barn Owls you have equipped, the higher the weight bonus will be.
I have 8 Barn Owls, all of which are age 100, and they are all over 20kg, because I hatched them with Brontosaurus pets equipped, so they started off heavy.
Whenever I see a pet I want to purchase, I pick up the pets in my garden, and place my 8 heavy Barn Owls down, and once they’re down, I go ahead and purchase the pet from the pet shop, and cross my fingers it ends up being a beast.
My best result so far, is with a Space Squirrel. With my 8 x age 100 Barn Owls (all over 20kg), I got a Space Squirrel at 4.45kg and a Space Squirrel at 4.25kg, which is insane.
Heavier pets mean they’ll perform their ability quicker and more efficiently, so heavier pets are the best pets, especially as they age.
By having an army of age 100 heavy Barn Owls, I’ll be able to purchase heavy pets from every single event going forward, so make sure you keep your Barn Owls, as they are genuinely the best pet from the entire Fall Market update.
