Harvesting events
Harvesting events
Spicing up the routine
Harvesting events occur while harvesting, they are random with the frequency being influenced by Astrology unless you have the Skeptic Perk. They were originally designed to prevent AFK harvesting.
There are basically three categories of harvesting events
- Events common to all harvestables
- Events common to all plants
- Events common to all minerals and 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.
- Attribute and 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.
Harvesting events of plants
In addition to the common events you can get the following events harvesting plants (and Dung):
- 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 Pickaxes 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
