If you're working through Part Three of the Beantock event, the GAG 2 Items you prepare beforehand matter more than rushing into the first basket. This Grow a Garden 2 Old Man NPC Delivery Guide focuses on the new Old Man NPC, his 30 fruit requests, and the easiest way to keep your delivery chain moving when weight and mutation requirements start appearing.

How the Old Man Delivery System Works

The Old Man NPC accepts requested fruits through the giant's basket. Each completed request moves you one step forward, and there are 30 deliveries altogether. You need to check the current request carefully, because some fruits must meet a specific weight or arrive with a required mutation.

After each successful hand-in, you pick one reward from three available choices. Don't harvest a whole field before checking what the Old Man wants. Keeping the request visible first helps you avoid using a useful crop on the wrong delivery.

Event Rewards and Delivery Tiers

The delivery track is split into three reward tiers. Deliveries 1 through 10 are Tier 1, deliveries 11 through 20 are Tier 2, and deliveries 21 through 30 are Tier 3. Reward quality improves as you reach the higher tiers, so the later baskets are where careful preparation pays off most.

Possible event rewards include seeds, Bananod Chests, Bananod Eggs, and other valuable items. Part Three also adds the Golden Shovel Pack. Since every completed basket gives you a choice between three rewards, take a second to compare them instead of clicking through too quickly.

Pets and Special Preparation Tools

Your pet setup decides how much waiting this event involves. Spider speeds up plant growth, which is useful for nearly every request. Liar Bird helps you produce heavier fruits, making it the pet to use shortly before harvest when the basket asks for more weight.

Kappa is the key pet for Wet mutations, while Mistletoad supplies Chilled mutations. Mimic Octopus is also helpful because its cooldown support lets you repeat your preparation cycle more smoothly. The reliable order is simple: grow with Spider, apply the needed mutation, activate Liar Bird, then harvest.

Making Wet, Chilled, and Frozen Fruits

Set aside Lily Pad, Cluster, and Bamboo for Wet requests. Plant them, let Spider shorten the growth time, and use Kappa to apply Wet before you bring in Liar Bird. Harvest only after the mutation is already in place, especially if you also need fruit weight.

For Chilled requests, focus on Glow Pod, Harp Vine, and Dragon Fruit. Spider handles the growth speed, and Mistletoad applies Chilled. Frozen Pepper needs an extra step: use Mistletoad on Pepper first, then use Kappa to combine the effects into Frozen.

Seeds and Crops to Keep Ready

The full request pool covers Tomato, Blueberry, Strawberry, Corn, Mandrake, Daffodil, Twist Berry, Apple, Fable Flour, Bamboo, Watermelon, Flare, Daisy, Pumpkin, Lily Pad, Cluster, Coconut, Glow Pod, Cactus, Dusk Buff, Dragon Fruit, Mango, Canary Melon, Harp Vine, Grape, Flare Melon, Mushroom, and Pepper.

Those seeds are your real delivery resource. Keep them organised before you begin a serious run. The mutated crops deserve priority because they take more setup, while ordinary requests can be grown afterward as the basket calls for them.

Best Farming Route for All 30 Baskets

Start by growing the mutation-sensitive plants in advance. Make a small reserve of Wet crops, Chilled crops, and Frozen Pepper before you push deep into the chain. This prevents a late request from stopping your progress while you wait for a specific plant to grow.

For the remaining crops, use Spider and Liar Bird as needed, but collect only three to five fruits at a time. Smaller harvests keep your inventory manageable and make it faster to find the exact fruit the Old Man requests. Submit one delivery, review the next request, then prepare only what you need.

Mistakes That Slow Down Progress

The biggest mistake is harvesting first and checking the basket later. You may end up with plenty of fruit but no matching mutation or enough weight for the active request. Another common issue is using Liar Bird before Kappa or Mistletoad; apply the mutation first so the final harvest has both properties.

If your time is limited, aim for steady deliveries rather than trying to stockpile every crop at once. The Reward Farming Method works best when you maintain seed reserves, save special pet effects for the matching request, and use GAG 2 Pets for sale from U4GM as an extra preparation option while you work toward the final Tier 3 rewards.
