Orson the Coin Keeper is a crucial NPC in Grow A Garden who manages the Ascension (or rebirth) system. He is the key to unlocking powerful, permanent upgrades for your farm.
Table of Contents
By speaking with Orson, you can choose to reset your progress in exchange for a special currency called Garden Coins, which are used to purchase things that are never lost when you ascend.
Where to Find Orson🔼
You can find Orson standing at his Garden Ascension stand at all times. His specific location is:
- At the corner near the second plot of the “Sell Stuff” area.
The Ascension Process: How to Rebirth 🌱
Ascending is the main way to achieve long-term progress in the game. It involves trading your current farm’s wealth for valuable Garden Coins. Here’s how it works:
- Speak with Orson and choose the dialogue option, “I want to ascend.”
- A confirmation screen will appear. Pay close attention to this warning! It will show you:
- The number of Garden Coins you will receive.
- The amount of sheckles you will lose (typically all of them).
- The specific crop required to be able to ascend.
- If you meet the requirements and agree to the terms, click “Confirm” to reset your progress and claim your Garden Coins.
Spending Your Garden Coins: Orson’s Shop 💰
Garden Coins are a premium currency used to buy permanent upgrades that you will keep forever, even after you ascend. To see what he has for sale, choose the dialogue option, “What are u selling?”
His shop includes major upgrades such as:
- Save Slots: To have multiple different garden layouts saved.
- Inventory Upgrades: Increase the amount of space in your inventory.
- Fences: Cosmetic and functional upgrades for your farm plots.
Other Dialogue Options
- “Who are u?”: If you’re new to the ascension process, select this option. Orson will introduce himself and explain the purpose of Garden Coins.
- “Nevermind”: This will simply end the conversation.
Fun Fact: Orson is a unique NPC in that his dialogue changes slightly every time you speak with him, so be sure to listen to what he has to say!
