Path of Exile's next expansion is among its most ambitious to date, the core of the extension is then also the harvest or the new horticultural system. With its help, you can then plant seeds that develop into magnificent monsters. When they are harvested, you can use the resulting energy for crafting or create even more and better monster gardens. The following is our preliminary understanding of the new horticultural system, please check.
How do seeds work?
In the future, you will find seeds in the Path of Exile that you can plant in the so-called Healing Grove. You can get there with the help of a portal and Oshabi. The different seeds differ in rarity levels and three types of seed capsules. The seed types are Vivid, Primal, and Wild. Each type is a specific color, and each type must be planted together. All seeds are fully tradeable.
There are also three tiers of seeds. Some seeds grow relatively easily and quickly, others only under certain conditions.
Tier one seeds are pretty simple and only need to be planted close to a Collector of the same type.
Tier two seeds, which may drop from tier-one mobs, have more complex requirements and are more difficult to grow. All tier two seeds require irrigation. To irrigate, players must build a disperser and then lay pipes to the patch of seeds. There can also be adjacency requirements (needing a specific color/type of other seeds nearby). Tier two seeds are a little fussier, but obviously bring greater rewards – this will lead to some pretty complicated gardening solutions from players who want to maximize their harvest.
Tier three seeds are then found occasionally from the tier two mobs, and these have even more stringent requirements to grow. Here, you need to utilize condensers to process and store unused life force into fertilizer for these seeds. Tier three seeds will be even harder to grow.
So what are these seeds for, anyway?
Once the seeds are fully grown, the title-giving harvest is due. Then let the monsters slip out of their capsules to make them ahead shorter and harvest their life energy. You then use them either for special crafting methods, or to grow other seeds.
Each seed represents a mob, and each tier represents the type of mob (tier one is basic, tier two is a boss, and tier three is a special boss).
The simplest Tier 1 Seeds will unleash monsters of the Wild, Primal, or Vivid variety. Defeating those monsters will collect their lifeforce, which can then be used to craft new and powerful items.
Growing Tier 2 and Tier 3 plants will be tough, but they'll prove to be worth the effort. They'll yield powerful items and crafting ingredients, the rarity and power level unlike anything seen in Path of Exile to date. Tier 3 Harvest monsters may even drop seeds for special endgame-level boss encounters.
Crafting
Players unlock a temporary recipe with each seed. They pick which recipe has the modifiers they want and plant that seed. Then they make sure to build a big enough encounter to create the craft since the recipe uses the life force collected only from that visit to the garden.
You cannot store life force; once you leave the garden, it is gone. You can, however, craft multiple things at once if you have the recipes and plant enough mobs for harvesting. And any leftover life force can be put in the condensers and turned into fertilizer so it isn't wasted.
In addition, different seed types create different crafting options that are available after you've completed a harvest. So the more seeds you've got, the more options you'll have to steer the loot in your favor, with seeds of higher tiers or rarity offering some very unusual crafting traits. To get the best rewards you'll need a garden full of variety so that you can meet the lofty lifeforce requirements of the top tier of crafting options. You can also breed your own boss opponents, who then promise a particularly thick harvest.
