When Grow A Garden launched their Fairy World update, we got a brand new chest (the Enchanted Chest) with three new pets (Cardinal, Shroomie and Phoenix), but we also got some limited edition, super rare pets inside the shops within the Fairy World location you visit by jumping into the Fairy Ring once an hour.
There are four different vendors inside Fairy World, and you can purchase the Wisp pet, the Drake pet and the Luminous Sprite pet from the different vendors. The Wisp is the most interesting out of the three rare pets, and keep on reading to find out all about this pet, and see if it’s worth it…
The Grow A Garden Wisp pet is one of the items you can purchase from Elder Wisp Caretaker, also called “Pets” within the Fairy World, a
In Elder Wisp Caretaker’s shop, the Wisp pet is one of the items you can purchase, however it’s almost permanently out of stock.
I have restocked the shop so many times, and all week, I’ve only managed to get two Wisp pets, so if you ever see it in stock, and you have the fairy points available, buy it, because it genuinely is so super rare.
It costs 20,000 Fairy Points to purchase one Wisp pet, or you can use Robux, where it’ll cost 419 Robux, and the colors are randomized. You don’t know which color you’re going to get until you purchase it.
I have managed to purchase two Wisps all week, and they both ended up being pink. I have seen the other colors available though, there’s a green one, a blue and a purple one, with four colors in total.
The colors don’t affect the pets’ ability at all, but it’s just like the Pixie pet and the Glimmering Sprite pet, in that the colors are randomized.
When holding the Wisp pet, there’s a trail of luminous white light behind you, with pink flashes. It looks really cool, and it’s a pale pink circular orb with pink cuboids spinning around the orb – just like they do around the vendors within Fairy World.
The Wisp pet is a type of pet which requires a cosmetic item for it to work. If you have a Wisp, you have to have a Wisp Well cosmetic item placed somewhere in your garden.
You can only purchase the Wisp Well from the Elder Wisp Architect vendor named “Seeds”, and it’s the item at the very bottom of the list, below the two different cosmetic crates, and it costs 1500 Fairy Points to purchase, and there is only ever one in stock at one time.
Just like the Nihonzaru pet and Gorilla Chef pet, the Wisp will automatically go to the Wisp Well, as soon as you place the Wisp in your garden. If you don’t have a Wisp Well in your garden, the Wisp will stand still doing absolutely nothing, so you need to make sure you have at least one Wisp Well in your garden.
Here are my two Wisp pets and two Wisp Wells, and they each go to a different well, when you have two wells and two wisps (or more) placed.
The Wisp spins around the top of the well in a circle, with the pink cuboids scattered around them, and the wells look pretty, with little flowers, and tiny glowing squares rise from the “water” within the well, for a cool animation.
How Many Wisp Wells Do You Need?
With the Nihonzarus, they each needed their own Hot Spring in order to work, so I assumed the same would apply to the Wisp, so I bought multiple Wisp Wells.
However, multiple Wisps can use one singular well, so you do not need to purchase more than one Wisp Well, unless you want to.
My two Wisps just spin in unison around the top of the well, which hopefully you can see in the image above, with one orb at the front.
What Does The Grow A Garden Wisp Pet Do?
As long as you have a Wisp Well in your garden: the Wisp will go to it and grant all other pets an additional bonus 0.77 XP per second.
This is the stat for my 1.33kg Wisp, and for my smaller 0.97kg mini Wisp, it grants 0.74 XP per second, so it scales as the pet grows in age/weight.
Now, something very important to know, is that the Wisp does not give XP to other Wisps. I tested it thoroughly, and it’s not a pet that can give XP to other pets of the same “breed”, but it does stack in that if you have two Wisps, and six Pixies, the two Wisps will each give the 0.74 XP per second boost to the pet, but they can’t boost each other.
I don’t know why they’ve done that for the Wisp, as that’s not the case with all of the owls, the Capybara or Sea Turtle, but you can’t just equip Wisp pets, hoping to create an XP farm, of them all boosting each other, unfortunately.
The Wisp is said to be more efficient and powerful than the Blood Owl, which was the biggest XP giving pet until now, so if you manage to see a Wisp in stock, grab it, as it could be super valuable with trading, once the event finishes, and people can’t get their hands on them.
