Overview

Mutations alter the appearance and value of herbs. They operate independently from Universal Luck and Preferred Luck, so those bonuses do not increase mutation chances.

The system is layered. A herb may receive a standard mutation, an age mutation, and an independent modifier. Their value multipliers are applied multiplicatively when more than one layer is present.

Standard Mutation Index

Standard mutations are selected from a weighted pool. A larger selection weight makes a mutation more common relative to the other entries in this index.

Mutation Multiplier Weight Priority Appearance Link Color
Silver 2.0 100 1 Turns the herb silver.
Golden 3.0 50 1 Turns the herb golden.
Vitality 1.5 100 1 Turns the herb green and adds green particles.
Vampiric 2.5 50 1 Turns the herb red and adds red particles.
Icy 1.5 100 1 Makes the herb slightly transparent and ice-colored.
Frozen 2.5 50 1 Encases the herb in a single block of ice.
Spirit 2.0 100 1 Makes the herb transparent and adds particle effects.
Royal 4.0 50 1 Makes the herb golden and causes it to glow.
Imperial 6.0 25 1 Makes the herb purple and causes it to glow.

Age Mutations

Age mutations form a separate layer and are intentionally excluded from the standard mutation Cargo table.

MilleniumAge · ×2
EonAge · ×3

Modifiers

Sovereign and Supreme form an independent modifier layer. They are also excluded from the standard mutation Cargo table.
