Amber analysis
Amber comes from the Dino event and is the T-Rex's ability. Because T-Rex is prized for its weight rather than its output, Amber is best thought of as a side effect of owning the game's heaviest pet rather than a reason to hatch one.
Overall ranking
#32 of 45Amber is the 32nd-strongest mutation in the game and 14th of 18 in the Event category. That is 3.0× below the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+9Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Amber therefore contributes +9 to the bracket, not ×10 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+4.1%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Amber raises it to ×228 — a 4.1% increase. Amber is marginal at ×10, worth only 4.1% on top of an existing stack, and it feeds no fusion. Treat it as incidental padding.
How to obtain
EventSource: Dino event. This comes from a limited event, so it cannot be farmed on demand — take it opportunistically while the event runs.
Where Amber sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Frozen (×10), worth 0 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Fried (×8). If Amber is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.
Amber crop value examples
Estimated sell price for a Gold crop at base weight, before and after applying the Amber mutation. Higher base-value crops gain the most raw Sheckles.

Amber FAQ
How much does the Amber mutation multiply crop value?
Amber carries a ×10 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +9. On its own it gives a ×10 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×228.
How do you get the Amber mutation?
Amber comes from: Dino event. It is a Event mutation, ranked #32 of 45 overall and 14th within its category.
Is Amber worth farming?
Amber sits at #32 of 45 with a ×10 multiplier, contributing +9 to the bracket. It feeds no fusion, so its ×10 is the whole of its value. Compared with Fried (×8) just below it, the gap is 2.
Can Amber stack with other mutations?
Yes. Amber stacks additively with other environmental mutations using 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, but only one growth tier (Silver, Gold or Rainbow) can apply at a time.
