Harvest

Crafting

Grow monsters in a magical garden and use the seeds to craft powerful targeted mods.

What it is

Harvest lets you craft in a targeted way using lifeforce extracted from monsters you grow in the Sacred Grove. Unlike most PoE crafting (which is random), Harvest gives you specific crafts like 'Reforge a weapon keeping prefixes' or 'Add a cold mod.' The Horticrafting Station stores these crafts for later use.

When you encounter it

A Harvest portal appears in maps randomly. Inside you'll find the Sacred Grove with planted seed patches. Kill the monsters, collect lifeforce, and access crafting from the Horticrafting Station.

Key concepts

  • Three lifeforce types: Vivid (yellow), Wild (green), Primal (blue) — each unlocks different craft categories
  • Crafts are consumed when used — you build up a stockpile
  • Augment crafts add a new mod; Remove-Add crafts replace a specific mod type
  • Harvest is powerful for targeted crafting but expensive — early on, sell the lifeforce to other players
  • The T4 boss (Harvest boss) drops very powerful items

Tips for new players

  • 💡Early on, sell Harvest crafts to other players via trade sites — they're very valuable
  • 💡Use 'Aug [attribute]' crafts to add a missing mod to a rare item with open space
  • 💡'Reforge keeping prefixes/suffixes' is extremely powerful for endgame crafting
  • 💡Don't ignore the Sacred Grove — even selling the lifeforce funds your gear upgrades
