↖ About Harvest

Harvest itself is a separate zone that can appear on the map, housing a set of crops. When activated, these crops spawn monsters that drop lifeforce. The core elements to drop more lifeforce from Harvest are packsize and quantity. 

Packsize increases the number of monsters spawned from seeds, while quantity increases the size of lifeforce stacks dropped. Running maps with maximum modifiers to improve packsize and quantity is essential for efficient farming.

↖ What Lifeforce to Choose?

Choosing the right lifeforce on the map is crucial. If you're not doing crop rotation, it's recommended to choose a pack of seeds that contains tier three rares or tier four bosses. If both options are available, prioritize the more expensive lifeforce, such as Vivid or yellow lifeforce.

↖ Other Good Drops

In addition to lifeforce, Harvest can yield valuable drops such as separate blooms from bosses, which can be used to fight a Shabby boss, or even rare divination cards. Understanding these potential drops can enhance your farming strategies and overall efficiency.

↖ Quantity or Packsize? 

When considering whether to prioritize packsize or quantity on maps, Packsize takes precedence. While maps have innate quantity bonuses, increasing packsize through modifiers like altars of ether or Exar is crucial for stacking quantity during map runs.

↖ Is T17 Harvest Better?

The short answer is yes. Running Harvest at tier 17 increases the chance to receive higher tier seeds, resulting in better average results. Implementing Harvest strategies in tier 17 can lead to improved profits if done effectively.

↖ Is Crop Rotation Profitable?

Both normal Harvest and crop rotation have their merits. Both methods are viable, and the choice depends on individual preferences.

• Crop rotation can be a hit-or-miss strategy, providing substantial lifeforce at times but yielding nothing at others. 
• On the other hand, normal Harvest is more stable and easier to use but lacks the potential for big drops that crop rotation can offer. 

↖ Scarabs Tierlist

↖ How to Roll Maps for Harvest Farm?

When rolling maps for Harvest farming, aim for a minimum of 90% item quantity and 20% monster pack size. An ideal map would have 118% quantity and nearly 40% monster pack size. Aim for maps that meet or exceed these thresholds, such as Strand, Underground Sea, or Jungle Valley, to optimize your harvest runs.

↖ Should You Corrupt?

When it comes to corrupting maps, the decision is entirely up to you. While corrupting maps can yield high quantity and pack size bonuses, it's not always necessary. You can still achieve favorable results without corrupting, especially if running maps with eight mods that are already working well for your build.

↖ How to Roll T17?

Aiming for tier 17 maps involves focusing on higher quantity and pack size. Look for maps that offer at least 50% or more Monster Pack Size and 120% or higher Item Quantity. While scarabs and currency bonuses are not a top priority, rolling additional scarabs can be beneficial for earning extra currency. Prioritize pack size and quantity, and consider incorporating scarabs strategically.

↖ Strategies

Now, let's delve into the strategies for efficient Harvest farming. We'll also provide guidance for new players looking to optimize their farming experience. For detailed strategies, refer to the dedicated in T17 Maps Farming Strategy.

↖ Basic Strategy: Scarabs + Map Setup

For both tier 16 and tier 17 maps, a basic strategy involves running Harvest Scarabs of Dublin along with Cartography Scarabs of Risk three times.

• In your map, leave one open slot for either Harvest scarabs of KOP or another Cartography scarab of Risk.
• Consider using Cartography scarabs of Risk instead of Harvest scarabs of KOP for tier 16 maps to manage costs effectively.

This strategy can yield a decent amount of harvest drops and currency for tier 17 maps. Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your setup.

↖ Basic Harvest Strategy: Atlas

The Atlas setup for this strategy focuses on Harvest chance or Call The Grow, along with Bount Hunter and Bumper Crop.

Additionally, incorporate Elder Gaze and Ether Influence into your Atlas strategy. Consider allocating Ether and prioritize shrines to access Kto Shrine, which can enhance quantity and rarity of drops from Harvest. Focus on increasing explicit modifiers to boost quantity and pack size. Don't forget to prioritize pack size for Ether World Influence packs to maximize altars and increase chances for quantity and rarity bonuses.

↖ Crop Rotation

For crop rotation, maintain proximity with Harvest scarabs such as Dublin, Cartography, or Influencing scarabs. Avoid using Harvest scarab of Cornucopia as crop rotation itself provides substantial bonuses. Adjust your Atlas setup accordingly for tier 16 maps when implementing crop rotation strategies.

↖ How to Do Crop Rotation?

Crop rotation involves buffing a specific crop by strategically planting and harvesting other crops around it. The main strategy for the current setup is to take all basic crops and use them to buff a yellow crop. This strategy is essential for optimizing the growth of high-value crops.

↖ Imbued T17 Strategy: Scarabs + Map Setup

For an effective imbued T17 strategy using scarabs and map setup:

• Use horn scar of Awakening in T17 maps.
• Combine it with at least a tier 17 map and the "imbu Harvest" crafting option.
• The "imbu Harvest" option gives a 50% chance for the unchosen crop to not build Harvest plants and a 50% chance to spawn an additional monster.
• Add horn scar of Awakening to your map device and use crafting options such as cartography scar of risk.
• Consider changes in Atlas when running this strategy.

↖ Imbued T17 Strategy: Atlas

When running Strategy imbued T17 strategy for Harvest in the Atlas:

• You no longer need Call of the Grove.
• You will automatically get Call of the Grove in the map, allowing you to save points by dropping it completely.
• Consider investing in scarabs as you will be running a lot of tier 17 maps.
• Adjust your Atlas to allocate points for scarabs and crop rotation through yellow plants.

↖ Combined Strategy: Scarabs + Map Setup

Another effective strategy involves using basic Scarabs together with other mechanics:

• Use Harvest scar of Dublin along with influencing scarabs or cartography scar of risk.
• Combine Harvest with other mechanics such as Ritual, Heist, Legion, or Expedition.
• This setup provides flexibility and profitability, making it suitable for new players as well.

↖ Combined Strategy: Atlas

In a combined strategy for Harvest in the Atlas:

• Allocate points to boost your maps, scarabs, and Harvest itself.
• Leave room for additional bonuses such as Expedition nodes if desired.
• This combination offers a nice balance and provides additional points for flexibility.
