Optimize atlas passives and scarabs for harvest lifeforce farming

Harvest Atlas Tree

Both trees use Y-0% B-45% R-45% reductions. Adjust based on the optimizer's recommended values for current prices.

Standard Tree → Use when Sacred Grove spawn is not guaranteed

Guaranteed Grove Tree → Use with Harvest Scarab or guaranteed Grove spawn

Boosting Lifeforce Drops

Pack Size is a direct multiplier for lifeforce. Seeds spawn extra monsters based on pack size - for example, 50% pack size means each seed has a 50% chance to spawn an additional monster.

Map Quantity also affects lifeforce drops at 50% effectiveness. Consider using an Influencing Scarab of Hordes to boost Eldritch Altar spawns, which can roll quantity modifiers to further increase your lifeforce yield.

Memory of Panic

Originator Maps can come with the Petal Skill "Memory of Panic", which can be used on Harvest monsters to make them drop lifeforce a second time.

Important: Memory of Panic must be used on Harvest monsters while they are still alive. It will not work on T4 (Boss) monsters as they are Unique enemies.

Assumptions & Methodology

Data Source

Seed distribution and mechanics are based on ForgottenArbiter's Harvest Mechanics Research.

The default settings err on the side of caution - actual profits should be slightly higher than calculated.

How the Optimizer Works

Without crop rotation, the optimal strategy is: harvest the higher-value plot first (lifeforce × price). We use full enumeration with proper seed variance modeling.

Seed distribution: Each plot has 72 possible seed configurations (T4: 0-1, T3: 0-3, T2: 0-8). We enumerate all 72×72 = 5,184 outcomes for each pair, computing E[max(V₁, V₂)] exactly rather than using mean-field approximation.

Enumeration: For a grove with N pairs, there are 3^(2N) possible color sequences (e.g., 59,049 for 5 pairs). We precompute pair outcomes into a lookup table (36 entries for color/Cornucopia combinations), then iterate through all sequences.

Wilting: For each pair, you harvest the higher-value plot (guaranteed), then the second survives with probability p (10% base).

Cornucopia Complexity

The Cornucopia scarab adds +1 T4 seed to the first-spawned plot of each color. This isn't stated explicitly, but empirically we observe an unusually high rate of multicolored plots having T4 seeds - consistent with both colors' T4 landing on the same plot when it spawns first for both. Since spawn order is encoded in our enumeration, this is handled automatically.
