Harvesters

Harvesters are both automatic resource gatherers and generators. Once placed, they accumulate harvestable nodes around them. They can be placed in PvP zones that belong to your Faction, as reward for controlling the area. Since this page is more of a general introduction, a more detailed guide for their use can be found here.

Currently, Harvesters can only be deployed near Keeps or Control Points around Conflict Towns, or in The District area.

• Once deployed, it will run for three hours. Slowly it will mine it's specific resource and spawn barrels arround it which can contain up to seven units of the resource. As the Harvester gets closer to expiring it will begin to produce more barrels.

• Only the player who placed the harvester can interact with it and it's internal bin, which will contain some of the resources. The same can not be said for the barrels around it.

• Harvesters do not despawn when the nearby Keep or Control Point changes hands, but the owner can no longer get items from the internal bin. Harvester despawning was acting more as a disincentive to attack keeps than an incentive to capture them.

• Each zone has a different spawn rate for each resource. The quality of the area greatly affects the spawn rate of barrels as time goes on.

• Harvesters now have varying spawn rates based on the area they are placed but, approximately every 5 days, the resources will move from one location to another. ^{[Field Test needed]}

• If the harvester expires or you decide to destroy it, all active nodes will despawn and you will lose any items in the internal bin. If it expires, you will be notified via chat along with it's coordinates.

• Although being a player-generated object in a PvP zone, harvesters can not be destroyed by other players.
