Event Harvest

## Summary

The **Event Harvest** function was introduced to Dragon & Elfs with the update released on November 22, 2023. It is one of three functions that can be found and enabled through the **Queen's Magic Pool** feature.

### Event Harvest

The Event Harvest function must be activated in an event map, it cannot be activated in the HomeWorld. Once enabled, two **action leaves** will appear above the information bar. They will say ***Focus Harvest*** and ***Map Cleanup***.

Tapping the action leaf with the function required will activate it. Tapping the same action leaf again will stop the function.

Switch between the two functions by tapping the action leaf with the function required. Only one function can be active at a time.

**Focus Harvest** can be used to harvest items which have an infinite amount of harvests available as well as those that have a finite amount of harvests available.

* Infinite items such as Life Flowers will not disappear when harvested.
* Finite items such as the Quick Harvest chain items will disappear after they have been harvested fully.

**Map Cleanup** can be used to harvest items which have a finite amount of harvests available before they disappear.

#### Focus Harvest

If the Focus Harvest function is selected it will send a maximum of 5 Elves to harvest the item that has been selected by the player at the same time. As the Elves harvest the reward from that item they will move away to drop the harvested item onto a nearby available tile. If there are more than five Elves on the Event map another one will immediately replace the one which has moved away. If there are only five elves available, the elf will return to harvest the same item again with the other Elves after dropping the item. Once the selected item has been harvested of all of it's rewards and disappears the Elves will move to another identical item and begin the process again with it.

Extra Elves will not harvest passively but they can be manually dropped onto other items by the player to harvest as well.

If the item which has been selected for the Focus Harvest function to be performed on can be harvested infinitely because it will not disappear regardless of how many times it is harvested, such as Life Flowers, the Elves will continue to harvest this item until the Magic Pool Energy time which was set ends.

When a finite item which is limited in the number of times it can be harvested has been fully harvested and has disappeared, the Elves will immediately move to another item which is identical to the one just harvested if there is another available, these will have the same name and level or rarity as the one which was originally selected. The Elves will continue doing this until there are no longer any identical items left to harvest or the Magic Pool Energy time set has ended.

If the timer is still active and the Elves have completed the harvesting as outlined in the above paragraph they will stop harvesting and will need to be directed to the next item manually by the player. Elves will not begin harvesting other items, or items that transform to a lower level, on their own initiative.

The higher the rarity of an item being harvested. the longer it will take for the Elves to harvest it. Rarity from lowest to highest is as follows: common, rare, epic, legendary, mythic.

#### Map Cleanup

If the Map Cleanup function is selected it will send up to 5 Elves to automatically harvest any items that have a set or finite amount of harvests available. It cannot be used on items which can be harvested infinitely such as Life Flowers or the Event Harvestables that give Points Items when harvested.

It can be used to harvest items that have a set number of harvests (1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, or 42) such as the Quick Harvest chains in all events that can be harvested for Points items.

As the Elves complete a harvest they will move away to drop the harvested item onto a nearby available tile. If there are more than five Elves available another one will immediately replace the one which has moved away. If there are only five elves available, the elf will return to the harvest after dropping the item.

Extra Elves will not harvest passively but they can be manually dropped onto other items by the player to harvest as well.

## Tips

* If there are many elves available merging them to higher levels will improve their performance.
* Trophy Elves and Harvest types of Elves are more efficient harvesters. Harvest Elves include: Fire Elves, Light Elves, Mercury Elves, Stars Elves and Wind Elves.
* The Elf Flower Method of harvesting can be used in events using passive play. A Flourishing Elf Flower - Level 4 can be purchased in the Event Shops for 18 golden leaves. For details on this method refer to the following guide: Elf Flower Method.
