But with multiple methods available and different coal rarities to manage, understanding the most efficient way to farm it can make a huge difference in your overall progress.
In this guide, we’ll break down every reliable method to get Coal, explain how each system works, and share smart strategies to help you collect better-rarity coal quickly and efficiently.

How To GET COAL In Grow A Garden?
Coal is a Smithing Event crafting ingredient used across the new Smithing stations (anvils, grinders, coal boxes, pet forgers, etc.). Many recipes require specific rarities (e.g., Rare or Legendary Coal). Use it to craft pets, gears, seeds and special cosmetics introduced in the event.
Main reliable method — Submit 3 items at the Smithing altar
- Walk to the Smithing / furnace hub in the event area and deposit one plant (fruit/seed), one pet (egg/pet) and one gear into the three slots/windows of the altar/furnace at the same time.
- Each full submission rewards 1 coal of random rarity. Higher-value or higher-rarity items tend to increase your chances of better coal (several guides note higher-value contributions improve drop quality). Submitting also advances the global event progress and can reduce crafting timers for everyone.
How to do it (step-by-step):
- Equip the fruit/plant item → approach the “Submit Fruit” slot → press E (or the shown interaction key).
- Equip the egg/pet → submit to the “Submit Egg” slot.
- Equip any gear → submit to the “Submit Gear” slot.
- After submitting all three, collect the coal reward from the altar/furnace UI.
Passive income — Smithing Dog
- The Smithing Dog is a craftable pet introduced in the event. When placed, its passive occasionally digs up coal for you (long-term passive source). Guides note this as a solid steady source of Common coal; rarer coals are less frequent. The Smithing Dog itself is craftable via Smithing recipes (it may require coal / other ingredients to craft).
Treasure Digging / Daily Dig event
- The Smithing Event added a Treasure Digging mechanic (accessible from the Shop area in the event UI) that gives a limited number of daily digs. Digs can reward coals among other items — it’s RNG but free and refreshes daily. Use your digs each day; sometimes there are bonus or paid dig packs in the event shop.
Coal Farming strategies — best practices to get more & better coal
- Prioritize quality submissions
- If you want a better chance at Rare/Legendary/Divine coal, submit higher-rarity fruits/seeds, higher-tier eggs, and better gears at the altar rather than common items. Multiple guides indicate contribution value affects coal rarity.
- Spam altar runs in a loop
- Keep a simple rotation: farm fruits (harvest / plant), gather craftable gears, hatch/gather eggs. Return to altar frequently and submit sets of 3 for steady coal income and to push event progress.
- Use Smithing Dog for passive stacking
- Craft/place the Smithing Dog once you can — it gives passive coal over time (works while you do other tasks). Combine passive digs + altar submissions for steady accumulation.
- Daily treasure digs
- Use your free daily digs every day — it’s free RNG and occasionally nets coals without spending items. If the shop offers extra paid digs and you’re short on materials, consider the cost vs reward.
- Coordinate with server/global progress
- Some Smithing outcomes affect global crafting timers or trigger weather events that can boost production—contribute often to profit from these temporary bonuses.
- Recipe planning
- Check the item you want to craft first (which rarities/quantities of coal it needs). Don’t waste Legendary/Divine coal on low-value crafts — save top-tier coal for the recipes that demand them. Use Common/Rare where possible.
