Grow a Garden 2 - What Gnomes Do and How to Best Use Them

[00:00] Have you seen the redeyed little gnomes

[00:02] at the gear stall in Grow a Garden, too?

[00:04] Well, if you're wondering, they are as

[00:06] evil as they look and determined to

[00:08] cause destruction and take down anyone

[00:10] who tries to steal your crops. In this

[00:12] quick guide, we'll break down how much

[00:14] they cost, how to get them, what they

[00:16] do, and how to best use them. Gnomes are

[00:19] sold in the gear shop, the one with the

[00:20] blue and white striped canopy in the

[00:22] center that's run by George. They cost

[00:25] 100,000 shekels and are epic rarity. So

[00:28] unfortunately they are often not in

[00:30] stock. But when they are, there are

[00:32] usually multiple available at once. So

[00:35] if you have the funds, you can stock up

[00:37] on these aggressive garden ornaments. A

[00:39] gnome is there to protect your garden,

[00:41] and it takes that job very seriously.

[00:44] When you place a gnome down, it will

[00:45] patrol around sternly with its angry

[00:48] little eyes laser focused on anyone who

[00:50] tries to mess with your crops. If anyone

[00:52] dares to enter your garden, it will slap

[00:54] them around. It doesn't even need to be

[00:57] night for them to attack. A gnome will

[00:59] kick out about anyone who enters your

[01:01] garden, even during the day. And guess

[01:03] what? They also climb. So, if a thief

[01:06] tries to climb up a bamboo or mushroom

[01:08] to get away from you, that little gnome

[01:10] is going to climb and track them down

[01:12] every single time. Gnomes last just 10

[01:16] minutes, though. While a gnome is a

[01:18] fantastic guard, be aware that they do

[01:21] run out. Since a night cycle only lasts

[01:23] 2 minutes, they'll at least have you

[01:25] covered if you leave your garden

[01:27] unlocked and unattended. Since gnomes

[01:30] are not permanent additions to your

[01:32] garden and are pretty costly, I'd wait

[01:34] until players are sniffing around before

[01:36] placing them down. Sometimes you'll be

[01:38] in a server where people leave you alone

[01:40] entirely, especially if you got some of

[01:43] the more basic craps, so don't waste

[01:45] your gnomes.

[01:48] That's gnomes covered, but they're not

[01:50] the only type of defense you can get in

[01:51] Grow a Garden, too. Looking for extra

[01:53] defense? Then head on over to our wiki

[01:56] guide where you can find recommendations

[02:00] and suggestions for pet combos, such as

[02:02] the defensive duo that you can use

[02:04] alongside gnomes to stop thieves in

[02:07] their tracks.
