Yes. Tending your garden from the earliest stages of the game provides powerful benefits to both leveling and end-game characters. We want the items you craft to be very powerful and to provide a huge boost for getting through the storyline content.



Harvest crafts effectively allow you to Exalt your gear while leveling (alongside dozens of other similar powerful outcomes), which is unprecedented in Path of Exile.

How do I get Tier 2 seeds?
Monsters that emerge from Tier 1 plants have a chance to drop Tier 2 seeds when slain. The same principle applies for Tier 3 and Tier 4 seeds.

In Harvest, you'll be able to find a seed cache in each area. When you're within a certain range of it, roots will appear beneath your feet and point you toward it to help you easily locate it. Open the cache, collect the seeds and enter Oshabi's portal to plant them in the garden alongside collectors.

please explain to me why doing the initial collection is a thing we have to do? Cant you add a "Seed Storage" or whatever into the garden that we can collect the seeds from?

From how i understood it, we are disincentivised to imidiatly putting down all seeds we find anyway, and instead are encouraged to plan out the garden and then put down lots of seeds at once. so why whould i even want to have to pick up the seeds and enter the garden in the first place? Just put them in a storage unit passively whenever we find a seed cluster.

We already know how this is going to end, people will complain that they have to use extra stash space to store the seeds, because you once again "forgot" to add them to a stash tab (untill you release a seed tab for $ 2-3 weeks later)

Sales pitch for exalting levelling rares im not sure I see the value. Most rares are garbage to pick up with 2-3 stats you dont want. If they culled the light radius and other garbage stats to make them craft additions only you would have much more valuable rare bases to start crafting with. So adding one more stat improves it marginally is my guess.

Anyway Im a total crafting noob, never used an exalt on a craft as I never earn that currency that i can throw it away. POE has a lot of strengths but stubbornly wants crafting to be the way you get stuff or trade for most of us plebs.

Give us full blown blueprint recipes for actual items with a new rarity type of item and now you have poeple genuinely excited for a change. So what if it it stops the no-life streamer from making 300 exalts every league.

The only thing that scares me is that there are 14 days before opening and half of answers is like "we are still working on it"...
Usually there should be additinal 2 weeks after everything is ready for internal testing. If there will not be any quality test, we may face with same situationa as with voices...
