Harvest introduces a concept of receiving relatively less loot, but instead offering players possibly the best crafting system so far. With Path of Exile: Harvest (3.11), Grinding Gear Games aims to switch gears a bit and address concerns of a meta that is too fast, requiring the highest clear speed possible in order to kill everything for loot explosions, something critics claim makes the game increasingly stale. You can also check out our TL/DR of the balance manifesto here, which is a compilation of all the important changes that came to the game with patch 3.11. We will make sure to update the guide as things change in time. Things mentioned below are based on the current state of the Harvest league and are subject to change. This Harvest league guide aims to teach you how to better use the game mechanic for your own advantage, craft better items, build an efficient garden and understand the whole league concept in general.
