CryptoCrops
Meet Rusty
Rusty is a rare dog. This is a story-exclusive companion encountered at Farm Level 20. Complete the arrival story to welcome them; they cannot be bought. Names cannot be changed, and you cannot own more than one companion of the same animal species.
Arrival story: The Gate That Stayed Open. A patient traveller learns that being useful is not the price of belonging. An exclamation mark marks the arriving companion on the farm; click them to begin.
Owned inactive companions still roam and interact on the farm. Only companions selected for your active team provide these stats, receive Bond XP or use their active-team abilities.
Where to get it
Reach Farm Level 20, then return to My Farm. Find Rusty at a safe arrival point near the farm entrance with an exclamation mark. Click them, read through their arrival story and complete its final welcome step. Rusty is story-exclusive: not a Farm Coin or CXL Shop purchase.
After joining, open the Companion Lodge to find this companion, select them for your active team, level their Bond and choose a specialty path when unlocked. Owning a companion does not automatically mean their bonuses are active. Only one companion of each animal species can be owned.
Level 1 and maximum bonuses
| State | Exact single-companion bonuses |
|---|---|
| Bond 1, no path | Mastery progress: +2% Late-penalty reduction: +3.3333% |
| Bond 25, Patient Watch | Mastery progress: +10% Late-penalty reduction: +25% |
| Bond 25, Garden Guardian | Mastery progress: +10% Late-penalty reduction: +16.6667% Grow-time reduction: +4% |
These are this companion alone, not an entire team. Team caps can reduce stacked contributions. Percentages labelled Mastery progress, fertilizer strength and weather strength do not multiply total Harvest Points directly.
Two specialty paths
| Path | Effect |
|---|---|
| Patient Watch | Stronger late-harvest protection. |
| Garden Guardian | New crops grow 2% faster, rising to 4% at Bond 25. |
Select the first path for free at Bond 10. Switching later requires a 24-hour wait after the previous selection and costs 15,000 Farm Coins. The strength path scales at Bond 10, 15 and 25. Bond and specialty rules explain the exact progression.
Every Bond level
XP shown is the amount needed to unlock the purchase of the next level, not cumulative XP. Coin price is the following one-step Bond upgrade. XP resets after each purchased Bond level, and unused excess XP is not banked past the current requirement.
