How to Get Mutated Items

  1. Open storage units with rare-looking items, unusual colors, or special visual effects.
  2. Inspect item detail screens before selling anything that looks different.
  3. Compare the mutation value boost with the normal sale value.
  4. Keep high-value mutated items when the sale price or build use is strong.
  5. Recheck mutation routes after events, weather changes, or new storage unit updates.

Mutation Tips

  • Selling rare-looking items before checking item details.
  • Treating every mutation as equally valuable.
  • Mixing accessory stats with mutation effects in the same decision.
