Burnt analysis
Burnt is the low-tier fire mutation and the entry point to the cooking chain, feeding into Cooked. On its own it is nearly irrelevant; as the first step toward a ×25 Cooked crop it is worth deliberately applying.
Overall ranking
#39 of 45Burnt is the 39th-strongest mutation in the game and 17th of 18 in the Event category. That is 7.5× below the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+3Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Burnt therefore contributes +3 to the bracket, not ×4 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+1.4%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Burnt raises it to ×222 — a 1.4% increase. Burnt is marginal at ×4, worth only 1.4% on top of an existing stack, and it feeds no fusion. Treat it as incidental padding.
How to obtain
EventSource: Fire / Cooked pet. This comes from a limited event, so it cannot be farmed on demand — take it opportunistically while the event runs.
Where Burnt sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Bloodlit (×4), worth 0 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Pollinated (×3). If Burnt is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.

Burnt FAQ
How much does the Burnt mutation multiply crop value?
Burnt carries a ×4 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +3. On its own it gives a ×4 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×222.
How do you get the Burnt mutation?
Burnt comes from: Fire / Cooked pet. It is a Event mutation, ranked #39 of 45 overall and 17th within its category.
Is Burnt worth farming?
Burnt sits at #39 of 45 with a ×4 multiplier, contributing +3 to the bracket. It feeds no fusion, so its ×4 is the whole of its value. Compared with Pollinated (×3) just below it, the gap is 1.
Can Burnt stack with other mutations?
Yes. Burnt 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.
