Trade Value Formula Explained
The Grow a Garden trade value formula computes a numerical value score for each pet based on its rarity tier and current level. Comparing these scores determines trade fairness.
Rarity Multiplier Reference for Trading
| Rarity | Value Multiplier | Base Value | Example (Level 10) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 1× | 100 | 1,000 |
| Rare | 2× | 100 | 2,000 |
| Epic | 3× | 100 | 3,000 |
| Legendary | 5× | 100 | 5,000 |
A trade ratio of 1.0 indicates perfectly balanced value. Ratios between 0.85 and 1.15 are generally considered fair. Values outside this range suggest one party is receiving significantly more value.
How Trade Evaluation Works in Grow a Garden
Evaluating a pet trade requires understanding the underlying value mechanics. Follow this framework to assess any proposed swap:
- Identify both pets' rarity tiers — Determine whether each pet is Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary to apply the correct value multiplier.
- Note each pet's current level — The level directly scales the value score; higher-level pets carry proportionally more trade weight.
- Compute value scores — Use the formula: value = 100 × rarity_multiplier × level for each pet.
- Calculate the trade ratio — Divide Side A's value score by Side B's value score to obtain the ratio.
- Interpret the ratio — A ratio near 1.0 is fair. Above 1.15 favors Side A. Below 0.85 favors Side B.
- Make an informed decision — Use the computed ratio alongside your personal strategy to accept, decline, or negotiate the trade.
Grow a Garden Trade Calculation Examples
Example 1: Fair Trade — Rare Level 15 for Epic Level 10
Side A: Rare Level 15 | Side B: Epic Level 10
Side B: 100 × 3 × 10 = 3,000
Ratio: 1.00 — Perfectly Fair Trade
Example 2: Favorable to Side A — Legendary Level 8 for Rare Level 12
Side A: Legendary Level 8 | Side B: Rare Level 12
Side B: 100 × 2 × 12 = 2,400
Ratio: 1.67 — Side A is overpaying significantly
Example 3: Slightly Favorable to Side B — Common Level 20 for Epic Level 4
Side A: Common Level 20 | Side B: Epic Level 4
Side B: 100 × 3 × 4 = 1,200
Ratio: 0.60 — Side B is receiving more value
Trade Fairness Guidelines for Grow a Garden
Understanding trade fairness thresholds helps you make smarter swapping decisions. Use these guidelines alongside the calculator to evaluate every trade opportunity.
Trade Ratio Interpretation
| Ratio Range | Verdict | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 0.85 – 1.15 | Fair Trade | Both sides are exchanging roughly equal value. This is a balanced swap. |
| 1.15 – 1.50 | Favors Side A | Side A is giving more value than they receive. Consider asking for additional items. |
| 0.50 – 0.85 | Favors Side B | Side B is receiving more value. Side A should renegotiate or decline. |
| Above 1.50 | Highly Unbalanced | Significant value gap. Strongly reconsider this trade unless strategic reasons apply. |
| Below 0.50 | Highly Unbalanced | Side A is receiving far less value. This trade is generally not recommended. |
Note: Value scores are quantitative estimates. Subjective factors like sentimental attachment, breeding potential, and collection goals may influence your final decision beyond pure numerical value.

Grow a Garden Trading Glossary
Value Score
A numerical representation of a pet's trade worth, calculated by multiplying base value, rarity multiplier, and current level.
Trade Ratio
The quotient of Side A's value score divided by Side B's value score. A ratio of 1.0 indicates equal value on both sides of the trade.
Rarity Multiplier
A scaling factor applied to base value: Common=1x, Rare=2x, Epic=3x, Legendary=5x. Higher rarities command exponentially greater trade value.
Fair Trade Range
The ratio band between 0.85 and 1.15 where both parties exchange roughly equivalent value. Trades within this range are considered balanced.
Bundle Trade
A trade involving multiple pets on one or both sides. Total value is the sum of individual pet value scores for each side.
Cross-Rarity Trade
A swap between pets of different rarity tiers, such as trading a Legendary pet for multiple Common or Rare pets of equivalent total value.
Overpay
When one side of a trade offers significantly more computed value than they receive, indicated by a ratio above 1.15 or below 0.85.
Trade Verdict
The final assessment of a proposed trade: Fair, Favorable to Side A, or Favorable to Side B, based on the computed trade ratio.
