Ceramic analysis
Ceramic comes from the Sandstorm event and, at ×30, sits exactly on the median multiplier for all mutations — a useful mental benchmark for judging whether anything else is above or below average.
Overall ranking
#23 of 45Ceramic is the 23rd-strongest mutation in the game and 11th of 18 in the Event category. That is 1.0× the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+29Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Ceramic therefore contributes +29 to the bracket, not ×30 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+13.2%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Ceramic raises it to ×248 — a 13.2% increase. Ceramic is middling at #23 of 45: its 13.2% improvement is useful padding but will not carry a crop alone. Take it when it lands, do not plan around it.
How to obtain
EventSource: Sandstorm event. This comes from a limited event, so it cannot be farmed on demand — take it opportunistically while the event runs.
Where Ceramic sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Verdant (×45), worth 15 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Molten (×25). If Ceramic is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.

Ceramic FAQ
How much does the Ceramic mutation multiply crop value?
Ceramic carries a ×30 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +29. On its own it gives a ×30 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×248.
How do you get the Ceramic mutation?
Ceramic comes from: Sandstorm event. It is a Event mutation, ranked #23 of 45 overall and 11th within its category.
Is Ceramic worth farming?
Ceramic sits at #23 of 45 with a ×30 multiplier, contributing +29 to the bracket. It feeds no fusion, so its ×30 is the whole of its value. Compared with Molten (×25) just below it, the gap is 5.
Can Ceramic stack with other mutations?
Yes. Ceramic 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.
