Frequently Asked Questions

How do I avoid scams in Grow a Garden trading?

The most common scams in GAG1 trading are: fake middleman (someone pretends to hold items for both sides), trust trade ("give me your pet first, I'll give mine back later"), and fake code links ("click this to redeem a free pet").

Rules to stay safe:

Never give your items first and "trust" the other player to return them.
Only use a middleman from the official GAG Discord — never someone who DMs you first claiming to be one.
Check values on our Value List before trading — if a deal looks too good to be true, it is.
Screenshot every trade confirmation before clicking Accept.
Never click external links claiming to give free pets or codes.

What does WFL mean in trading?

WFL stands for Win / Fair / Lose. Players post a trade offer and ask others to judge it. Use our Value List to check each item's approximate worth before deciding. You can also ask for help in trading Discords or check our Pet tier list to understand which pets are worth more.

How do I know if a trade is fair?

Compare the rarity and demand of both sides. A good trade isn't just about raw value — some pets are "overpaid" for because everyone wants them (high demand), like Dragonfly or Raccoon. Crops with stacked mutations (e.g. Shocked + Gold) can be worth far more than their base price. Check recent trades in Discord servers and our value list to get a feel for the current market.
