Hey everybody, Ron here. Harvest has always been one of my favorite farming mechanics in Path of Exile. It can be good on so many levels. It is easy to set up on low investment and could be very rewarding with high investment. Life force also will always be in high demand because it is used on so many little things, from crafting to gambas. In 3.25, it introduced so many changes to various farm-related aspects of the game, such as scarabs, cheil, and tier 17s. I want to make an in-depth guide for Harvest covering many strategies and tricks for it. Check the timestamps as usual, and let's go. Long story short, Harvest itself is a separate zone that can appear on the map and has a set of crops. When you activate them, they spawn monsters that drop life force. The core elements to drop more life force from Harvest are P size and quantity. This P size being the main priority. PX size itself will increase the number of monsters that will spawn from seeds and can drop life whenever quantity will increase the size.

of life for Stacks that will drop your maps have innate P size and quantity bonus that will improve with each modifier. Your mop will roll some modifiers that will add more quantity and PX size based on their weight as well. Therefore, all Harry strategists should try to improve P size and quantity as high as possible and run maps with the maximum amount of mods. It also leads us to a pretty interesting question: which Life Force to choose on the map. If you're not doing corop rotation, it is usually recommended to choose a pack of seeds that contains tier three rares or tier four bosses. And if both options have it, then it will be better to take the more expensive life force, which is usually Vivid or yellow life force. What else can you drop from the Harvest except the life force? You can also get like separate blow some that drop from bosses and can be used to fight a Shabby boss. Or you can drop a divination card such as Aven pursued, even if the chances are not high. Here in this video, I want to

showcase possible farming strategies for different harvest setups, and they answer some basic questions. So, first question is what to prioritize on map P size or quantity. Genuinely, P size is more important because you will be able to stack quantity while you running the map itself through the altars of ether or Exar, for example. So, P size is just an initial stat that is pretty much harder to push forward, and I usually recommend to prioritize pack size over the quantity when you are rolling. Is Harvest better on 17? Short answer is yes. Mop tier will rise the chance to receive higher tier seats, therefore tier 17 will show better results on average if you can run it without any issue. And some of the Harvest strategies could be done in tier 17 for better profit. Is corporation better on normal Harvest? To be honest, both of them are kind of good, and it can depend on the situation. Corporation right now is more like hit or miss strategy. Sometimes it can hit big and provide a lot of life force, and sometimes you will

receive nothing, and normal Harvest is much more stable and easier to use. However, it just doesn't have big drops such as Corporation can provide. They're both perfectly viable, and you could run one that you prefer. Personally, I'm going to show strategies for both before we will go to the detailed strategy overview. I also wanted to share my Scarab tier list in terms of how useful scarabs are for Harvest. So, first scarab in the S tier and the most important scarab in all strategies for Harvest is pretty much Harvest Scarab of Doubling. It's going to double your life force, and it also has a very low cost compared to some other options. So, Harvest Scarab of Doubling is absolutely great and should be in every possible strategy. Next S-tier scarab is pretty much Crafty Scarab over Risky. It will give us AR as an additional random modifier, and it's a very important scarab because every modifier will boost our pack size and quantity at the same time. It also doesn't really cost a lot, and if your build can

handle random modifiers. I definitely recommend using cartography scarab risk in almost all your harvest-related strategies. Going to the A-tier first, scarab here is Horn Scar of Awakening. That way, you can use the imbu option for Harvest. But Horn Scar of Awakening has a pretty decent price right now, and it could be too costly, especially if you're not going to use it with a tier 17 map. It also is mostly used for Corop rotation because for everything else, it's less important. So, that's why it's in A-tier and can't make it to us. Next one in the A-TI Harvest scarab of Cornucopia. That scarab has a pretty significant cost but still could be used in some strategies, even in tier 16, while maintaining profit. It will provide you more bosses and will give you bosses of all colors if possible, which is definitely not bad. But because of the price and because we have other cool scarabs such as cartography scarab over it, it's much harder to fit Cornucopia in.

going to the B tier. Here we have two options. Scar of monsters lineage is going to give us 40% of increased magic P size for our Harvest monsters, which is definitely not bad. And the next one is influencing scar of hordes. Influence monster packs in area have 40% increased pack size. Influencing scar of fors is not working for Harvest monsters, so keep that in mind. But it will provide you more monsters for your ether altars, and with altars, you will be able to buff your quantity. So that's why it's an AB. It could be useful even if it can buff your Harvest just directly. And Scar of monsters lineage is cool, but unfortunately, magic pack size is not that important for Harvest because we are going to drop a much bigger amount of life force from our rare monsters. And C here is pretty much Harvest Scarab and Horn scar up of glitterin for Harvest Scarab. We just don't really need it. We can get sacate grow from our mobcraft or we can get it.

from our Atlas 3. It's very simple to get it, and losing the Scarab just to spawn sacred grow is almost always a bad idea. That's why it's in a B right now, and most of the cases, it's not really useful. And hor scar of the glan been used in some combination with Harvest strategies. However, I don't recommend to use it only for Harvest. Gline has a very high cost, and if you're not using it with money-making strategy for like tier 17, you're going to lose money if you will use it. So, I'm definitely against it, and it's in B just because it can be in some strategies, but most of the time, I don't recommend to touch it. So, another important question is how to roll your maps for Harvest. I genuinely recommend to aim for at least 90% of item quantity and 20% of monster PX size as a minimum. Perfect map for a harvest run would look something like that. So, quantity is 118% and monster par size is almost

40, but most of the time, it will be just enough if you can reach 90% of quantity and at least like 24 and higher Monster Box size. You can genuinely roll any map that you prefer, so you can like strand underground, SE jungle, Wy, or any other type of map just fine without any kind of issue. The question is to corrupt the maps or not to corrupt the maps. It is always completely up to you. Most of the time, I'm trying to corrupt my version, but it's not really changing a lot, and sometimes you can get a very high quantity and P size even without corrupting. You can also R it with eight mods if most is currently working good for you. Another question is pretty much what to aim at tier 17. So, for tier 17, we have the similar goals. We just aim for higher quantity and the PCK size. You can expect 50% and more Monster PX size on a good map and at least 120 and higher item quantity. Those bonuses are pretty cool. You don't really care about scars.

or currency bonuses, but if you can roll a lot of scarabs, it could be good because you can make some currency with well. So I genuinely recommend just to look at the P size quantity and maybe mind scups a little. So let's finally talk about the strategies. I'm also going to showcase a good strategist for new players too later in that video, so please click on dedicated timestamps if you're new to the game and you're not sure how much you're ready to invest in the Harvest Farm. The first strategy is very basic, and it works for both tier 16 Maps or tier 17 maps. It genuinely requires you to run Harvest scar of Dublin together with craphy scar of risk three times, and in your map, you will have one open slot. That open slot goes for Harvest scar of kop or for another craphy sco risk. So generally, if you're riding in tier 17, I recommend to always use carop for the strategy, but if you are running tier 16 instead, it could be a great idea.

to hedge your cost, and instead of running Cornucopia, you can run another Scarer risk. That strategy could be a little hard for new player builds, so if your build can't handle a lot of random modifiers, it's much harder for you. That way, you can pretty much avoid using Scarperks altogether and go for further strategies that I will showcase later in this video. But generally, I would say the setup like that could pretty much provide you with a pretty decent amount of harvest drops, and current C for tier 17 could be a decent option too. You can also try to use Carop for a tier 16 strategy as well, but the price of the K Copia can drag your whole profit down a little, so keep that in mind. However, that strategy is very basic and working in most cases, so your Atlas for that strategy will look something like that. You're generally just going for Har chance or Call the Grow. You're also picking Bounty Hunter and Bumper Crop on top of that. You are taking Elder Gaze.

and you will need to use ether influence on that strategy, so try to allocate ether. And I also recommend to take shrines because in shrines, you'll have an option to roll a kto shrine. Kto Shrine can rise your amount, like, of quantity and Rarity, which is going to increase your drops from Harvest, and it's definitely good. Otherwise, the strategy is pretty basic. You will need to take all increase of explicit modifiers to rise your quantity and P size, and pretty much s it. You don't need anything else. Don't forget to take a p size for ether World influence packs because it's going to provide you with more altars, and more altars will lead to more chances to be quantity and Rarity on altars as well. Another important option for all basic strategies, it is also recommended to just go for wild dra if you don't use kopia. So, if car copia is not there, I recommend to just go down there and pick Val Ro because right now purple PL cost not a lot, and you will just lower the amount of them in the map.

Rising the amount of yellow and blue plants, which cost significantly more, but if you use kopia, it's not recommended. So, in that case, just drop those points altogether, and you can invest them in scars instead, for example. So, the next strategy is crop rotation. For crop rotation, the scars are pretty much staying very close, so you are still using harvest scar of Dublin. You can use cartography scar of RIS, or you can use influencing scar of HS. All of those are pretty good for crop rotation. The only important part for crop rotation is you don't need to use Harvest scar of cor copia because you already will receive cool bonuses just from crop rotation itself. So, that's a very important part: don't use carop for it. And that's pretty much a crop rotation for tier 16 month. It looks like that, and it's pretty basic. The main difference will be in the atlas. So, talking about Atlas for crop rotation, the most important part is taking crop rotation itself. It will give you harvest

crops, and your maps contain only tier one plants. Harvesting crops on your maps has a chance to upgrade the tier of plants of different colors, so you also will need to low a chance of yellow plants with cor rotation. Generally running it is a very simple approach. You can just run into the map and pretty much click the different colors which is not yellow, and by clicking different colors you will buff your last yellow set of crops. So you will need to click yellow crops last. That's a very important point, and you can just run around click your purple and your blue uh sets, and perfectly you will have only one yellow set. Yellow set should be clicked last because it will level up from all the caves that you used at purple and blue plants. That way we're lowering the amount of yellow plants because we don't need a lot of them. We need only one to hit big, and we need as many purple and blue as possible. So the rest of the atlas for coroporation stays the same. We're still going for

shrines because Co is cool. We are taking explicit modifiers, bonuses for the maps, we are taking box size and other bonuses. I also still recommend to take call of the groove because it's a very nice idea to save both craft and get a quantity instead of M device or a scar to avoid roll in for Harvest. So, perfect example for corotation that you have a lot of basic crops and you have only one yellow crop. So, we will need to take all crops like that to pretty much buff our yellow crop. And this is the main strategy for current setup. Next step is a complete different strategy which is imbu atlas with horn scar of a. That's a pretty important ideaa that generally this strategy is mostly used only in tier 17s because scar like horn scar of awak right now have a pretty significant cost. If you calculated the cost properly, you still can use it in tier 16 but I definitely don't recommend it most of the time. If you go for horn scar off Awakening, you need to combine it with

uh, at least tier 17 map, and it works well with Corop. So, generally, you will need to add tier 17 mop. You will need to add Horn Scar of Awakening, and you will need to peak a special map crafting option called Imbu Harvest. It will give you harvest in area, have 50% chance for the unchosen crop to not build Harvest plants, and area have 50% chance to spawn an additional monster. So, since unchosen crop cannot build in that situation, and we have a very big chance for it, like 50%, we will be able to buff our corporation even further. So, we are still picking yellow lust, just add Horn Scar of Awakening to your map device, and you will have such crafting option here. I still recommend to run it with like Cartography Scar of Risk, for example, if your build can handle it, and Harvest Scar of Dublin is pretty much staying in the park with tier 17. It looks exactly like that. There's also some changes in Atlas if you will run it.

So if you're running INB Atlas for Harvest, the biggest change is that you don't need Call of the Grow anymore. You're going to auto-get Call of the Grow in the map anyway, so you're going to have a harvest. You can pretty much save points by dropping Call of the Grow completely and dropping some additional chances here and here. That's pretty much how it will look. You'll have about 10 points left, and you can get those points, for example, to invest in the scarabs because you're going to run a lot of tier 17 mobs, and getting scarabs is always a great idea. So I generally recommend just to go for like Ambush scarabs and really scarabs. Both of them are good. You can also take one point to cartography, so your final Atlas will look like that. They're still passing up to crop rotation through yellow plants, and we because we need to minimize the amount of yellow plants to buff them with purple and blue. Another prominent strategy for harvest is pretty much to use only basic Scarab such as harvest.

scar of Dublin, together with maybe influencing scar of hordes or one cograph scar of risk to pretty much Farm Harvest, together with any other mechanics that you already enjoy. For example, you can run like Harvest and ritual in combination, or harvest and Heist, or you can run Harvest with any other mechanic like Legion if it works good for it, like Expedition, for example. So currently in that setup, you just need to use Harvest scar of Dublin. You can add one cartography scar of risk, and the rest you can pick the scarabs for your second strategy that you are going to use. So a lot of open space in there because for Harvest, we have such options that way you will not have a crazy profit, but it still will be profitable, and they'll add some currency here and there. It's also very good for new players because it can provide a decent combination of harvest, which is very good with the second strategy that could work for you as well. In such case, your Atlas will look something like that, so you will just have about 100 points.

invested in boosting your map, some scarabs, and harvest itself, and you will leave the rest for additional bonuses. For example, if you will decide to add Expedition, it's so easier to just pick all Expedition nodes that you will need for such approach. So, as you can see, it's 126%. You can tweak it a little based on what you prefer to run yourself, but basically, it's very easy, and it's a pretty nice combination because you will have a lot of additional points. There's also an option to farm ion memory of the secret grow to pretty much get the Harvest. It works the same way as any other memory. You just need to click it on your Atlas and run it. The memories right now are not crazy profitable but could be a great way to have a stable profit. Don't forget to color and chill your Maps if you're going to run that memory, and your Atlas is not really going to affect it, so there's no Atlas for such approach. Memory farming for Harvest could be pretty decent right now.

as well, so look into it if you're interested in such an approach. You also don't need scups for it. It's pretty easy to set up, but you will need to buy memories in a pretty big amount. So, talking about the current situation and comparing current farming strategies, I would say the best idea is to use Harvest as an additional mechanic for tier 17 maps. When you're already farming currency in tier 17, you can also use it as an additional mechanic in tier 16, too, in combination with what you already prefer. Going only Harvest with Horn Scar of Awakening core rotation is a decent strategy, but because of the high price of Horn Scar of Awakening, it could be less profitable than it's been before. So, currently, I recommend testing all the strategies and picking one that you will prefer the most out of the current situation in the in-game market and how it will transition to the next league and how exactly it will work at the moment. But all of them are viable. You can run core rotation, you can run core op, you can run

normal Harvest with just doubling and a lot of modifiers. All those strates will be able to bring you money. Thank you very much for watching. That's been my in-depth Harvest guide, and I think I showcased most important questions in there. Hope it's been helpful for you. Subscribe for more RPG content, and see you next time. R out.
