- • Dependence on hourly random weather events
- • Low efficiency - only 1-2 chances per hour maximum

- • Scalable efficiency with multiple Kodama pets
- • Predictable and controllable farming cycles
- • Continuous progress without waiting periods
Kodama Method Implementation:
Build Your Kodama Team
Acquire multiple Kodama pets (2-4 recommended) and pair them with Corrupted Kodama for balanced production
Optimize Your Garden Layout
Plant fast-growing, cheap Zen crops like Serenity, Zenflare, or Sakura Bush in large quantities for maximum harvest cycles
Execute Continuous Harvest Cycles
Repeatedly harvest your Zen crops to trigger Tree Spirit abilities, generating steady streams of tranquil and corrupt mutations
Convert to Kitsune Chests
Trade your accumulated mutations (5 tranquil + 5 corrupt) to the Kitsune NPC for consistent chest rewards
