Plants vs Brainrots Stock Tracker Playbook
The in-game stock board refreshes faster than most players can react. Use this guide to manage refresh windows, prep cash reserves, and claim rare seeds or gears before the shelves empty.
Refresh Cadence & What To Watch
Stock boards for seeds, gear, and weather all follow predictable timers. Read the cycle patterns below and plan your buying order before the refresh hits.
| Board | Refresh Window | Primary Focus | Prep Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seed Shop | Every 5 minutes | Plant seeds across Common → Secret rarities | Check 45–60 seconds ahead of the refresh so you’re ready when mythic or godly seeds pop up. |
| Gear Shop | Every 5 minutes | Weapons, tools, utility consumables | Reserve at least $15k so Frost Grenades and other high-impact tools can be purchased on the spot. |
| Weather Board | Live | Shows server weather that influences spawn patterns | Storm weather increases elite waves—pair with splash plants before refreshing your stock plan. |
Rarity Windows at a Glance
Each refresh pulls from a rarity weight table. Memorize what tends to appear in each bucket so you can decide instantly whether to buy, skip, or reroll.
| Rarity Tier | Typical Stock | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Common / Uncommon | Starter seeds, Bat upgrades, basic consumables | Appear in almost every cycle—skip unless you’re rebuilding after a rebirth. |
| Rare / Epic | Strawberry, Pumpkin, Frost Grenade, Water Bucket | Core growth items; set timers or alerts so you never miss two cycles in a row. |
| Legendary / Mythic | Sunflower, Dragon Fruit, Eggplant, Banana Gun, Speed Potion | Low-frequency rolls—monitor with Discord alerts or the external tracker. |
| Godly / Secret | Cocotank, Carnivorous Plant, Lucky Potion, limited cosmetics | Treat as limited drops. Keep 150–200% of the price in reserve to cover mutation rerolls. |
Live Tracking Checklist
Combine in-game refreshes with external alerts and disciplined budgeting. Work through the checklist below to tighten your routine.
- Sync with the 5-minute cadence. Use a countdown timer or macro to peek at stock 30 seconds early.
- Bookmark the enhanced stock tracker and enable ping notifications for your target items.
- Keep two cash pools: one for routine purchases, another untouched reserve for surprise godly/secret items.
- Join a Discord alert channel; community pings shave seconds off your reaction time when rare stock appears.
- Log notable rotations in a personal spreadsheet so you can predict when certain items tend to return.
Before the Next Cycle…
Cash Buffer
Maintain 1.5× the highest item price you plan to buy—rare seeds can cost $5m+ once you reach godly tiers.
Inventory Space
Clear backpack slots before camping the shop or you’ll be forced to sell under pressure.
Mutation Plan
Have Mutation Scanners and spare seeds ready; purchasing the item is only step one, rolling the right variant is step two.
Session Goals
Set a maximum spend for each cycle so you don’t drain funds needed for fuse recipes, gear upgrades, or rebirth Prep.
Advanced Stock Habits
- Chain trackers: run the official board in-game while the external site handles alerts so you can cross-check data if one source lags.
- Stagger purchases: buy seeds first, then gears. If you misclick on gear you lose only a few thousand, not your seed budget.
- Time mutation rerolls: grab the seed on refresh one, reroll mutations on refresh two once your finances recover.
- Pair with rebirth prep: track when godly brainrots surface so you can align rebirth sacrifices with favorable stock rotations.
