Editing Harvesting events

{{FoCW Header|Harvesting events|Spicing up the routine}}
Harvesting events occur while [[Harvestables|harvesting]], they are random with the frequency being influenced by [[Astrology]] unless you have the [[Skeptic Perk]]. They were originally designed to prevent [[Acronyms#A|AFK]] harvesting.

There are basically three categories of harvesting events
* Events common to all [[:Category:Harvestables|harvestables]]
* Events common to all [[:Category:Plants|plants]]
* Events common to all [[:Category:Minerals|minerals]] and [[:Category:Ores|ores]].

Harvesting events occur as follows:
* a message is displayed in local chat when the event occurs, indicating the ''target'' and the type of event
* the ''target'' gets the additional message of ''You stopped harvesting''
* in case of a breakage of a tool or a [[Harvester Medallion]] the target gets an additional message

== Common harvesting events ==
* '''You stopped harvesting''', yes, there's an event that does nothing else but stop your harvesting, obviously this is not accompanied by a message in local.
* '''Mother Nature got pissed off at you''', you lose anywhere between 10 and 20 material points.
* '''Teleportation Nexus''', this teleports you to a nearby location; if you get stuck in a map bug and can't beam out (#beam me) because you have the [[Scotty Died Perk]], moderators will not help you.
* '''Bag of gold''', the amount varies between 5 and 20 gold coins. A [[Harvester Medallion]] increases the amount found by the factor 10.
* '''Blessings by the Queen of Nature''', giving you extra harvesting experience, the amount of experience gained ranges from 200 to 700. A [[Harvester Medallion]] increases the experience gained by the factor 10.
* [[Removal Stones#Attribute Removal Stones|Attribute]] and [[Removal Stones#Nexus Removal Stones|Nexus '''Removal Stones''']] can be found while harvesting any resource.

Exceptions: You can also break [[Leather Gloves]] when harvesting [[Dung]], see minerals and ores below.

== Mini harvesting events ==
There are some so called mini harvesting events, the notifications for these events differ from the regular ones by not being broadcast to local chat but by only showing up on the recipient's screen instead. Wearing a [[Harvester Medallion]] gives you a [http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49409 1 in 3] chance to not stop harvesting on a harvesting event. Currently there are
* '''You gained X extra exp.''' Where X is up to 19 experience points.
* '''You found X coins.''' Where X is up to 6gc.
* '''You hurt yourself, and lost X HPs.''' where X is up to 3 HPs.

The extra experience and gold coins from these events are doubled while wearing a Harvester Medallion. The medallion doesn't effect the "you hurt yourself" event.

Also note that mini harvesting events do not [http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49280 destroy] the Harvester Medallion.

== Harvesting events of plants ==
In addition to the common events you can get the following events harvesting plants:
* '''Bee stings''' take anywhere between 5 and 10 material points.

== Harvesting events of minerals and ores ==
In addition to the common events you can get the following events harvesting minerals and ores:
* '''Cavern walls''', cave-ins take anywhere between 15 and 35 material points, wearing [[Armor]] lessens the effect, a [[Moon Medallion]] helps as well.
* '''Radon pouches''' take 30 material points, armor that provides radiation protection decreases the amount of damage taken.
* '''Tool breakage''': [[Leather Gloves]] and [[Pickaxe]]s can break during harvesting use. A [[Harvester Medallion]] decreases the chance of this event.
* Some '''rare stones''' can be found while harvesting minerals and ores

== Harvesting events of Dung ==
* '''While harvesting, player lit up a match to check the dung level, which caused an explosion worth X health points.''' Where ''player'' is replaced by the player's name and ''X'' seems to be 59 or 60.
* '''While trying to harvest, the outhouse lid fell on player, hitting for X health.''' Where ''player'' is replaced by the player's name and ''X'' ranges from 10 to 30.
* '''While harvesting some dung, Mother Nature was nearby taking a dump. Unfortunately player was in the way and got hit for X health.''' Where ''player'' is replaced by the player's name and ''X'' ranges from 16 to 59.
* If you are wearing a Harvester Medallion you might get: '''While player was harvesting dung, a Mare Bulangiu that was resting in the outhouse wanted to come out. However, the harvester Medallion stopped him!''' If you don't wear the Harvester Medallion the message changes to indicate the successful escape of the [[Mare Bulungiu]], if the [[GIWS]] is working then a message will be broadcast globally to indicate the threat.
* Some rare items can be found while harvesting dung:
