Weather-Triggered Mutation

Ranked #75 of 108 tracked mutation pages by multiplier.

📌 When to use Tempered

Farm Tempered during the listed weather. If a pet is also named in the trigger, that pet is the off-weather path.

📐 How to Get the Tempered Mutation

Trigger (from our mutation data): During Smithing Fever.

Watch the in-game forecast and the weather events list. Shops restock on a separate clock — use the stock tracker for Seed/Gear timers, not for weather. If a pet is named above, that pet can apply this mutation without the weather.

💰 Worked Examples: Tempered on a Sunflower

Sunflower base (this site): 50,138₡ at 8.55 kg Tempered only, base weight: 50,138 × 6 = 300,828₡
Same Sunflower at 2× base weight (weight is squared): 50,138 × 2² × 6 = 1,203,312₡
Additive stack with 💧 Wet (×2) + Gold (×20): Environmental = 1 + 6 + 2 − 2 = ×7 × Gold 20 = ×140 50,138 × 140 = 7,019,320₡

Numbers use the site formula Base × (Weight/BaseWeight)² × Growth × (1 + Σmutations − count) and Sunflower's listed base. Plug a live crop into the Grow a Garden calculator for other weights.

🔗 Stacking & Best Combos

Once Tempered is on a fruit it follows the additive rule with other non-growth mutations: 1 + Σ(multipliers) − count. Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) then multiplies that total. Cleaning Spray (Gear Shop, listed on stock) can strip mutations if you need to rebuild a fusion.

❓ FAQ

Does Tempered use the homepage calculator formula?

Yes. Tempered is a fruit modifier at ×6, not a crop and not a pet. Plug it into the Grow a Garden calculator with a real kg. This FAQ does not repeat the intro paragraph.

How do you get the Tempered mutation?

During Smithing Fever.

Does Tempered stack with Gold or Rainbow?

Yes. Tempered is not a growth mutation, so Gold (×20) or Rainbow (×50) can multiply it. With other environmental mutations it uses 1 + Σ − count first, then growth.

What crop should I put Tempered on?

Any crop uses the same multiplier. Worked examples on this page use Sunflower (50,138₡ at 8.55 kg) because that crop is also the Dawnbound reference. Weight² usually moves the number more than swapping a mid-tier crop.
