[0:00] Have you seen the redeyed little gnomes
[0:02] at the gear stall in Grow a Garden, too?
[0:04] Well, if you're wondering, they are as
[0:06] evil as they look and determined to
[0:08] cause destruction and take down anyone
[0:10] who tries to steal your crops. In this
[0:12] quick guide, we'll break down how much
[0:14] they cost, how to get them, what they
[0:16] do, and how to best use them. Gnomes are
[0:19] sold in the gear shop, the one with the
[0:20] blue and white striped canopy in the
[0:22] center that's run by George. They cost
[0:25] 100,000 shekels and are epic rarity. So
[0:28] unfortunately they are often not in
[0:30] stock. But when they are, there are
[0:32] usually multiple available at once. So
[0:35] if you have the funds, you can stock up
[0:37] on these aggressive garden ornaments. A
[0:39] gnome is there to protect your garden,
[0:41] and it takes that job very seriously.
[0:44] When you place a gnome down, it will
[0:45] patrol around sternly with its angry
[0:48] little eyes laser focused on anyone who
[0:50] tries to mess with your crops. If anyone
[0:52] dares to enter your garden, it will slap
[0:54] them around. It doesn't even need to be
[0:57] night for them to attack. A gnome will
[0:59] kick out about anyone who enters your
[1:01] garden, even during the day. And guess
[1:03] what? They also climb. So, if a thief
[1:06] tries to climb up a bamboo or mushroom
[1:08] to get away from you, that little gnome
[1:10] is going to climb and track them down
[1:12] every single time. Gnomes last just 10
[1:16] minutes, though. While a gnome is a
[1:18] fantastic guard, be aware that they do
[1:21] run out. Since a night cycle only lasts
[1:23] 2 minutes, they'll at least have you
[1:25] covered if you leave your garden
[1:27] unlocked and unattended. Since gnomes
[1:30] are not permanent additions to your
[1:32] garden and are pretty costly, I'd wait
[1:34] until players are sniffing around before
[1:36] placing them down. Sometimes you'll be
[1:38] in a server where people leave you alone
[1:40] entirely, especially if you got some of
[1:43] the more basic craps, so don't waste
[1:45] your gnomes.
[1:48] That's gnomes covered, but they're not
[1:50] the only type of defense you can get in
[1:51] Grow a Garden, too. Looking for extra
[1:53] defense? Then head on over to our wiki
[1:56] guide where you can find recommendations
[1:57] of the best pets, including a tier list
[2:00] and suggestions for pet combos, such as
[2:02] the defensive duo that you can use
[2:04] alongside gnomes to stop thieves in
[2:07] their tracks.
