1.84%

Just over 118 million Tier 2 seeds dropped from defeating Tier 1 Harvest monsters. This is roughly a Tier 2 seed for every 25 Tier 1 Harvest monsters killed. In reality, the chance is actually higher than that, though these numbers are skewed by the lower drop rate at the start of the league, and therefore don't fully reflect the doubling of their drop chance in the 3.11.1 update. Now, let's take a look at Tier 3 seeds.

356,821

33.12%

Primal Blisterfruit

Reveals a random crafting effect for Influenced items when Harvested

340,509

31.60%

Just over 1 million Tier 4 seeds dropped from killing Tier 3 Harvest monsters. This is actually fewer than expected, though a likely explanation is that Tier 3 Harvest monsters can only drop a Tier 4 seed if they're at least level 68. If players had acquired some Tier 3 seeds from non-Map areas, they wouldn't be eligible to receive Tier 4 seeds from those monsters.

Harvest Challenge Statistics

The graph below shows what percentage of players have how many challenges and only includes accounts that have completed at least one challenge.

16.3% of players have completed 12 challenges and earned the Harvest Footprints Effect.
1.68% of players have completed 24 challenges and earned the Harvest Cloak.
0.38% of players have completed 36 challenges and earned the Harvest Portal Effect.

As per usual, these statistics were taken roughly four weeks into the Harvest league. Let's compare these to those from Delirium league.
The amount of players that have obtained at least 12 challenges is down slightly from Delirium league, coming in at 16.3% of players (compared to 17.85% during Delirium league). 1.68% of players have completed at least 24 challenges, down from 1.95% of players in Delirium league. Interestingly, while the amount of players that completed 12 & 24 challenges is lower than Delirium league, the amount of players completing at least 36 challenges is significantly higher than Delirium league, with 0.38% of players compared to 0.23% from Delirium league. Notably, Harvest offers a portal effect for completing 36 challenges, where Delirium did not. This could be playing a part in the higher completion rates we're seeing here. We're certainly interested in hearing from those of you that did hit 36 challenges this league; did you feel that the challenges were easier this league, was the reward a driving motivator for you, or was it something else? Let us know!
