Loot and Rewards

The Garden of Genesis offers valuable loot, including unique jewelry pieces such as Grovelight, Soulpollen, and Genesis of Life. These items drop from specific bosses and require the Rise of the Angry Earth Expansion for some pieces. Additionally, items like Garden’s Earring, Amulet, and Ring can be obtained from the expedition-wide drops in higher mutation levels.
