Pharaoh’s Eye in Grow a Garden – Unlock Guide and Fast Anubis Coins

Grow a Garden players want one seed above all others in the Anubis update. That seed is the Pharaoh’s Eye. It sits at the top of the Anubis Coin Shop, and it takes real effort to unlock. We break down the cost, the unlock rules, and the fastest ways to earn the coins you need.

What Is the Pharaoh’s Eye in Grow a Garden

The Pharaoh’s Eye is a Divine seed that arrived with the Anubis event. It costs 5,000 Anubis Coins. It is a multi-harvest plant, so one seed keeps giving fruit after every pick. That makes it a long-term investment, not a quick flip.

The grow time is about 10 hours. We suggest planting it before you log off. Waiting around in your garden wastes your session.

The fruit carries the Magical, Night, and Spooky traits. It also counts as Leafy, Prickly, Stalky, and Woody for the excavation NPC. That covers four of his twelve request types. Once you grow it, the Pharaoh’s Eye helps you finish more digs, so it pays you back.

How to Unlock the Pharaoh’s Eye Seed

The seed stays locked until you finish 10 Ancient Archeology excavations. Every other shop item except Wraproot has a similar lock. We recommend finishing digs early, even before you have many coins.

To reach the shop, press the Sell button and walk west into the sand. Trader Tina runs the Anubis Coin Shop there. Archeologist Archie stands a little further west and runs the excavations.

Archie asks for one plant trait at a time. His request changes every 30 minutes, at the hour and half-hour in UTC. You hand over fruit with that trait, and he counts it by weight. Mutations do not matter for his dig. Only the trait and the kilograms count.

The first four finds give you these rewards:

  • Find 1 needs 8 kg and gives an Anubis Crate.
  • Find 2 needs 12 kg and gives a Hieroglyphic Radar.
  • Find 3 needs 18 kg and gives a Hieroglyphic Staff.
  • Find 4 needs 25 kg and gives two Ankh Flower seeds.

The targets climb fast after that. High-weight fruit saves you a lot of time. We like cocoa mango for leafy requests because it grows heavy. A strong setup uses one 15-second frog, one starry opossum, and six moon cats on a single cocoa mango plant. Add sprinklers, keep every pet at max level, and harvest. A budget version swaps in two opossums and five moon cats.

How to Collect Anubis Coins Fast

Anubis Coins come from fruit with the Hieroglyphic mutation. The mutation spreads during the Anubis weather event, which hits your garden every hour. Plant your crops before the storm arrives, and the mutation lands on its own.

Talk to Trader Tina and pick the option to submit your held fruit. You can also submit every Hieroglyphic fruit at once. Only fruit with the mutation counts.

Rarity decides your payout, not the variant. A Hieroglyphic Carrot pays 10 coins. A Hieroglyphic Wraproot pays 20. Higher rarity fruit pays more, so we plant sugar apples as our main coin crop.

Here is the setup we like:

  • Plant a large batch of sugar apples.
  • Use a spider to grow them all.
  • Use a T-Rex to spread the Hieroglyphic mutation across the garden.
  • For auto harvest, use two harvest golems, one albino peacock, one pack bee, one spider, and three T-Rex.
  • For a cheaper team, swap the albino peacock for a regular one.

Here is a point many players miss. A Hieroglyphic Wraproot at 3.53 kg sells for over 83,000 Sheckles to the fruit buyer. Tina only gives 20 coins for it. Sell your Wraproot for Sheckles, and keep cheap fruit like carrots for Tina. The math is simple. You need 500 carrots to reach 5,000 coins, or 250 Wraproot. Higher rarity crops cut that number a lot.

Spend Your Coins in the Right Order

The full shop costs 7,460 coins. Wraproot costs 60, Hieroglyphic Radar costs 250, Papyrus costs 900, Hieroglyphic Staff costs 1,250, and Pharaoh’s Eye costs 5,000. You do not need to pay for all of it.

Archie gives the Radar and the Staff as free dig rewards. That saves you 1,500 coins. We would buy Wraproot first because it needs no unlock. Then we would skip the gear and save for the Pharaoh’s Eye.

The Radar scans and collects Hieroglyphic fruit. The Staff adds extra Hieroglyphic mutations during a Dune Storm. Both help your coin farm, so grab them from Archie when you can. The shop restocks at the start of every hour in UTC, and stock is limited. Check the timer before you spend.

Anubis Weather and Egg Extras

The Anubis event adds more than a seed shop. One new weather is Ankh of Rebirth. You must charge all eight pillars scattered across the map. Press E ten times on each one. When you finish, eggs hatch 20 percent faster. This weather appears about every two hours, so plan your hatching around it.

The new Anubis egg holds four pets. It also has a rainbow hatch variant called the Sepulchral egg. Luck decides what you get, so we do not recommend spending your whole stash on one session. Save some Sheckles and try again later.

Final Thoughts on the Pharaoh’s Eye

The Pharaoh’s Eye rewards patience. Start your excavations early, farm coins during every hourly storm, and sell your heavy Wraproot for Sheckles. Plant the Pharaoh’s Eye before you leave your game, since it takes 10 hours.

Follow this plan, and we think you’ll reach 5,000 coins faster than most players. Tell us in the comments how your Anubis farm is going.
