1. What Makes the Olive Unique?
The Olive is one of the few crops in the game that fits into multiple crop categories at once, making it extremely flexible when paired with buffs or targeted items.
Crop Type Classification
The Olive is categorized as:
- Leafy
- Sweet
- Sour
- Fruit
- Tropical
Because of this, any farming tools, potions, boosts, fertilizers, or equipment that affect any of these categories will influence Olives. Many seasoned players cultivate Olives specifically to take advantage of multi-category synergy for farming bonuses.
For example:
- Leafy fertilizer → works
- Fruit growth booster → works
- Tropical enhancer → also works
This makes Olives one of the most buff-compatible crops in the game.
2. Appearance Details
The developers designed the Olive with a distinctive, geometric aesthetic that makes it easily recognizable on the field.
Olive Produce
- Shaped as a small lime-green cube
- Features a flat, beige square lid on top
- Its cube-like design matches the stylized nature of other Grow a Garden crops
Olive Crop
- Built around a light grey stem
- On top, mint-green rectangular leaves jut out diagonally
- The leaves give it a star-like spread, making harvested patches look lush and dense
Olive Seed
- A muted green rectangular block
- A lighter green gradient appears at the top (ombre-style)
- Tiny light-green cubes protrude from the top, resembling miniatures of the full crop leaves
The similarity between seed and mature crop makes it easy to identify Olive patches even during early growth stages.
3. How to Obtain Olives
There are currently two methods to obtain Olives: crafting and Robux purchasing.
Method 1: Crafting at the Smithing Event Island
During the Smithing Event, players can craft Olive seeds using a unique recipe. Crafting is the primary method for free-to-play players.
Crafting Recipe
To craft one Olive seed, you need:
- 2× Common Coal
- 1× Grape
- 1× Tomato
- Sheckle 500,000
- Crafting Time: 15 minutes
This recipe creates a balanced cost for mid-game farmers. Grapes and tomatoes are easily farmable, and coal is typically available through mining or trading.
Because the crafting time is relatively short, many players set up continuous multi-batch crafting cycles to stockpile Olive seeds.
Method 2: Buying With Robux
Players wishing to skip crafting can buy Olive seeds directly.
- Price: 129 Robux
- Immediate delivery
Robux-purchased seeds are identical to crafted seeds in all stats and performance.

5. Growth Mechanics and Farming Strategy
Because the Olive is a multi-harvest crop, it does not disappear after a single harvest. Instead, after you pick the fruit, the plant will begin a regrowth cycle of the same duration as initial growth (6 minutes 37 seconds).
Optimal Farming Tips
- Boost stacking: Because Olives qualify for five different crop types, you can stack multiple boosters for exceptional yield results.
- Densely plant for efficiency: A full field of Olives allows for predictable, timed harvest cycles.
- Pair with auto-collect tools: This reduces effort and ensures no cycles are missed.
- Take advantage of market value: The average Sheckle value of 20,000 makes Olives ideal for selling or trading, especially during events.
Why Multi-Harvest Matters
Multi-harvest crops produce:
- More consistent long-term profit
- Less seed cost over time
- Higher efficiency for players who harvest frequently
With no replanting needed after each harvest, the Olive becomes extremely valuable for grinding Sheckles.
6. Trading and Market Insights
Because the Olive is tied to an event, it may eventually rotate into a limited-time-only status. Historically, limited event crops tend to appreciate in trading value, especially when they have good stats—Olives fit this trend perfectly.
Key market advantages:
- Stable average value (~20,000 Sheckles)
- Low minimum weight ensures stable weight-based pricing
- Reasonable “Huge Chance” (0.83%) gives collectors additional incentive
As time passes after the Smithing Event, expect trade interest to increase.
The Olive is more than just another uncommon crop—it’s a highly efficient, flexible, multi-buff-compatible plant that benefits both new and experienced players. Its strong market presence, multipurpose classification, and rapid regrowth make it one of the most rewarding crops to farm.
