### How mutations work

Start by buying the **Basic Mutated Hoe** from `Joe, The Mutagenic Farmer`.

While farming with a mutation hoe, you have a low chance to get a **mutated crop drop**.

When this happens, you will see a purple particle effect.

Mutation hoes level by collecting mutated crops.

The full path is:

`Basic Mutated Hoe` → `Mutated Hoe I` → `Mutated Hoe II` → `Mutated Hoe III` → `Mutated Hoe IV` → `Mutated Hoe V` → `Mutated Hoe VI` → `Mutated Hoe VII` → `Mutated Hoe VIII` → `Mutated Hoe IX` → `Mutated Hoe X` → `Mutated Hoe XI` → `Mutated Hoe XII` → `Mutated Hoe XIII` → `Mutated Hoe XIV` → `Mutated Hoe XV` → `Mutated Hoe XVI`

For example, upgrading from **Basic Mutated Hoe** to **Mutated Hoe I** requires `5` mutated crops.

Check your progress by holding any mutation hoe and using:

```
/mutation
```

### Mutated crops

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://orange-lounge-smp.gitbook.io/orange-smp-wiki/areas/farmlands/mutations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
