3+## Kalandra Patch Notes

5+Harvest
6+* Rather than being presented with a selection of crafting options that must be used immediately, you now receive itemised, tradeable lifeforce of the appropriate colour. This lifeforce can be used later, in your own time, at the horticrafting bench in your hideout. Its crafting options are now priced in terms of this itemised lifeforce currency.
7+* Tier 4 bosses are now encountered much more frequently and can drop a key to fight Oshabi. She yields special lifeforce that can be used for a specific set of crafts.
8+* We have rebalanced all Harvest crafts for the new system and have removed a bunch of filler crafts and some ones with deterministic outcomes that were incredibly RNG-gated before. Some crafts that provided access to exclusive content, like the special Offerings to the Goddess, have been removed because these items can now be found in more appropriate locations elsewhere in the game.
9+* The result of these changes is that when you complete a harvest, you aren't presented with 30 crafts which must be either used immediately or unsafely traded to some player you've found on a community discord server. It also means that every bit of lifeforce you receive is going towards a craft that you actually want to use on one of your items, when you're ready to use it. Your interaction with the sacred grove is now far simpler as well. Just enter, pick your plots, defeat the monsters and get on with your mapping.
10+* Like with Archnemesis and Beyond, we have also addressed the monster composition of Harvest's fights, so that it doesn't contain too many rare monster mods and so that it is of appropriate difficulty for its rewards. In addition, the rewards for Harvest now scale with map quantity and pack size, incentivising you to juice your maps. Previously the crafts you received were not scaled up at all if you played a harder map.
11+
12+Details:
13+* Harvest monsters are no longer associated with specific crafting options and do not grant uses of crafting options on death. Instead, monsters defeated now drop a stack of lifeforce.
14+* Lifeforce are tradable currency items which come in three types, Primal, Wild and Vivid, matching the three types of Harvest monster. Slots for these items have been added to the Currency Stash Tab.
15+* Lifeforce can be used at the Horticrafting Station, which has been reworked, in your hideout. Instead of functioning as a way to store crafts for later use, the Horticrafting Station is now similar to the Crafting Bench, providing a list of every Harvest crafting option to choose from.
16+* Each craft costs a certain amount of lifeforce to use. They can be used as many times as you like, as long as you have the necessary lifeforce.
17+* Harvest Bosses, including Oshabi, Avatar of the Grove, are now encountered more frequently.
18+* Oshabi, Avatar of the Grove, no longer drops Infused Beachheads, Dedication, Gift and Tribute to the Goddess, Lures, Infused Engineer's Orbs, or Facetor's Lenses. She now has a chance to drop Crystallised Lifeforce, which can be used for a specific set of crafting options.
19+* The Harvest crafting options have been overhauled. Many have been rebalanced and tweaked, while others have been removed or found new homes.
20+* Harvest crafting options currently stored in Horticrafting Stations will be deleted upon the release of 3.19.0. Use them before you lose them!
21+* Dedication, Gift and Tribute to the Goddess now have a chance to drop from reward chests at the end of the Eternal Labyrinth.
22+* Infused Beachhead Unique Maps now have a chance to drop from the Tier 15 The Beachhead Unique Map Boss encounter.
23+* Lures and Infused Engineer's Orbs can no longer be obtained.
24+* The Bumper Crop Notable Atlas Passive no longer grants "The Sacred Grove in your Maps contains an additional Harvest". Instead, it now grants "The Sacred Grove in your Maps has 50% chance to contain an additional Harvest".
25+* The Heart of the Grove Notable Atlas Passive no longer grants "Harvest Bosses in your Maps always drop a Sacred Blossom". Instead, it now grants "Harvest Crops in your maps have 60% increased chance to contain a Tier 4 Plant".
26+* The Bountiful Harvest Notable Atlass Passive now grants Harvested Plants in your Maps have 10% chance to spawn an additional Monster (previously 50%).
27+* The small Harvest Atlas Passives that granted "Plants Harvested in your Maps have 3% chance to give an additional Crafting option" now provide "Harvest Monsters in your Maps drop 3% increased quantity of Lifeforce".
28+* The Harvest Sextant modifiers that granted "Plants Harvested in your Maps are more likely to give less common Crafting Options" has been replaced with a modifier that causes Lifeforce dropped by Harvest Monsters in your Maps to be duplicated.
29+* Leo's Betrayal Research Safehouse crafting bench rewards have been replaced. They no longer Randomise the numeric values of the Implicit Modifiers of an item, randomise the numeric values of the Random Modifiers of an item, or Augment a Rare item with a new Random Modifier. Instead, they now Reforge the colours of, number of, or links between sockets on an item 50 times, using the outcome with the greatest number of less-common socket colours, sockets, or linked sockets respectively.

31+## Scourge Patch Notes
32+
33+Harvest Craft Changes
34+Problem:
35+* The Harvest crafts that upgrade a Normal or Magic item to a Rare item with a modifier of a certain type are close in function to their matching craft that reforge a Rare item, while being unable to be used on a single item repeatedly.
36+
37+Solution:
38+* Combine the two harvest crafts into a single craft that reforges a Normal, Magic or Rare item as a Rare item with new Modifiers.
39+
40+Specifics:
41+* Crafts that previously reforged a Normal or Magic item to a Rare with a specific Modifier now reforge a Normal, Magic or Rare item into a Rare with a specific Modifier.
42+* Crafts that previously reforged a Rare with a specific Modifier now reforge a Normal, Magic or Rare item into a Rare with a specific Modifier.
43+* Crafts that previously reforged a Rare with a specific Modifier, and made that Modifier group more common, now reforge a Normal, Magic or Rare item into a Rare with a specific Modifier, and make that Modifier group more common.

345 ## Ultimatum Patch Notes
446
5-Metamorph Changes
6-* Added an Accelerating Catalyst, which adds quality that enhances Speed modifiers on a Ring, Amulet or Belt.
7-* Added a Noxious Catalyst, which adds quality that enhances Physical and Chaos Damage modifiers on a Ring, Amulet or Belt.
8-* Added an Unstable Catalyst, which adds quality that enhances Critical modifiers on a Ring, Amulet or Belt.
9-* Metamorphs created in Tane's Laboratory now deal 10% more damage and have 80% more health.
47+Harvest Changes
48+* Unfortunately the version of Harvest that was active during the Ritual league was far too rewarding. Various adjustments have been made to Harvest crafting, and the chance to encounter a portal to The Sacred Grove has been increased. We have published a development manifesto that goes into more detail about the changes and the reasoning behind them.
49+* Increased the chance for Map Areas to contain The Sacred Grove by 60%. The chance to encounter a Zana mission requiring you to complete a Harvest encounter has also been increased by the same amount.
50+* The Sacred Grove now contains a minimum of three pairs of plots that can be harvested from.
51+* The Heart of the Grove encounter will no longer appear in place of a normal Harvest encounter. Instead, it can now be accessed through a Sacred Blossom map fragment that sometimes drops from Tier 4 Harvest bosses.
52+* Completing the Heart of the Grove encounter for the first time now unlocks 5 extra Horticrafting Station crafting slots, allowing you to store up to a maximum of 15 crafting options.
53+* Crafts are no longer guaranteed from seeds. Now, seeds of Tiers 1, 2 and 3 each have a chance to provide a craft, with Tier 4 seeds still guaranteeing a craft. Please note that the number of Tier 2 and 3 seeds encountered in Harvest Plots has remained unchanged, so the encounters will remain as challenging as they were before.
54+* Some crafts that had overly-deterministic behaviour have been removed. These include most Annulment-type crafts (crafts that removed a modifier of a specific type), and all type-specific Divine crafts (crafts that rerolled the value of specific modifiers).
55+* Type-specific Exalted crafts (crafts that augmented modifiers of specific types to items) can now only be applied to non-influenced items. This does not apply to the existing modifier which applies an Influenced modifier to an already Influenced item.
56+* Crafts that added random Atlas Influences to certain types of non-Influenced items have been removed. In their place, crafts that randomise the existing Influence on an item while also reforging it with new modifiers have been added.
57+* Rebalanced the weightings of seeds so that you're seeing type-specific crafts at a more equal rate (for example Cold, Fire and Lightning). The weightings of crafts have also been rebalanced so that the more powerful crafts such as the Exalted-type crafts are now rarer. Weaker crafts such as "Set an item to three sockets" have also been removed, making the higher tier versions of these crafts more common.

1159 ## Introduction
12-The Metamorph league and Hardcore Metamorph league are past challenge leagues. They launched on December 13, 2019 along with the release of the Conquerors of the Atlas expansion.
60+The Harvest league was a challenge league. The PC version launched on June 19, 2020 (UTC), alongside the Version 3.11.0 patch. It ended on September 14, 2020, alongside the version 3.11.2b patch.
1361
14-In this league, the player meets Tane Octavius. He tasks the player with gathering parts from various monsters, which he uses to create a Metamorph. Metamorphs are enemies that constantly change forms, using the moves of enemies it acquired the parts of, even unique bosses. Metamorphs drop loot based on the parts used, which can include Catalysts that give a quality stat to jewelry, increasing the magnitude of specified modifier types and the likeliness of rolling those mods.
15-
16-All characters and stashes were be moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the league ended. Characters that die in the Hardcore Metamorph league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
62+In this league, you will find caches of seeds in each zone. You can take these to Oshabi's Sacred Grove to plant them. With time these plants will fully mature and they can be harvested by killing the monsters emerging out of them for their Lifeforce. Once the harvest is complete, the plants will provide special crafting options in exchange for Lifeforce. Higher tier seeds will need other seeds and extra Lifeforce in order to grow, which will require plotting your grove to maximize your bounty.

1864 ## League mechanic
19-### Metamorph organ
20-- ### Mechanics
65+This section is for archival purposes only. The current core mechanics differ drastically from the league mechanics. See Harvest for the current mechanics.
2166
22- - Each map has a 8% chance to include a Metamorph encounter, which is rolled independently from other chance-based encounters, such as Masters, Abyss, Blight, Breach, Delirium, Essence, Ritual, rogue exile, Legion, Smuggler's Cache, Strongbox, The Sacred Grove, etc. In the encounter, certain monsters (and the map boss) are marked with a green "arrow" on their bodies as well as marked on the mini-map with a circular green icon, and the monster health and name bar have a similar green circle. Upon defeating these monsters, they drop organ samples which are automatically collected. With a full set of samples - Brain, Eye, Heart, Lung, and Liver - players can construct a Metamorph unique boss monster based on the combination they have used by spawning Tane Octavius and his Metamorph Vial using a button on the bottom right (PC default keybind: V). Tane spawns automatically once you've collected every organ in the zone.
67+In this league, each zone will contain a seed cache. When you interact with the seed cache, it drops Tier 1 seeds, advances a growth cycle, and [[Oshabi]] opens a portal to [[the Sacred Grove]].
2368
24- - Players can use any combination of the collected organs to create the Metamorph monster. Each monster is made up of 5 organs, and players must select one of each type before constructing the Metamorph monster. Each organ determines the attacks the Metamorph uses, as well as the monster modifiers it has. Sometimes an organ will contain an additional item drop bonus. Moreover, a meter to the right fills based on sample rarity, which increases the monster's overall stats and item drops. Organs from higher rarity monsters will give larger increases to this meter. If the meter is filled as well as using at least one map boss sample (which have the same orange item color as unique items), the Metamorph will drop an itemized organ sample, named after the name of the map boss, which can be placed in player's inventory. Note that in some cases, even in a fully cleared map, there are not enough rare and unique organ samples to fully fill the meter, due to external factors such as map rarity, map mods, map tier and pack size. Only one Metamorph boss can be constructed per a map instance (the exception being in the Valdo's Rest region with the Repeated Experiment Atlas passive skill), and only the itemized organ(s) can be transferred out of the zone instance. Player can boost the drop of itemized organs by using Metamorph Scarab. Each specific Metamorph monster can only drop a single type of itemized organ (though it can drop more than one of that type due to atlas passives or scarabs), regardless of how many orange-colored organs are included in its construction.
69+Once you've acquired a seed, you can plant them in any free space within the Sacred Grove. Tier 1 seeds only need to advance growth cycles to grow, but higher tier seeds need plants of one tier lower adjacent to them and require extra condensed Lifeforce from a [[Disperser]] in order to grow. Seed enhancers can be placed in any unoccupied space. Their effect will activate when any seed within radius is harvested.
2570
26- - The Metamorph monster will have a combination of attacks and abilities depending on the organs used (each organ notes one or more attacks/abilities it grants the monster). In addition, as the Metamorph is battled, it will summon a substantial number of minions to assist it, which can be lethal even on their own if the Metamorph is defeated before them.
71+Once you have at least 8 fully grown crops of the same color within range of a Collector, you can begin the harvest, spawning monsters from each crop. Once all monsters are killed, you can use then use the Collector to craft. Each crop gives Lifeforce and a random one-time use crafting option from its specified crafting pool. Monsters will be stronger and more rewarding the more Lifeforce you harvest at once. Monsters may also drop seeds of one tier higher and seed enhancers when killed.
2772
28- - Itemized samples can be used in the Metamorph Vial in Tane's Laboratory. A full set of itemized organs can be used to construct a Metamorph there. The mods on the itemized organs indicate additional items the Metamorph will drop. Note that no more organs drop in the lab.
29-- ### List of Metamorph organ samples basetypes
73+You must use your crafting options as soon as it is revealed, unless you have a Horticrafting Station to store crafting options for future use. Any unused lifeforce can be condensed and stored to be used to fertilize crops. Condensed Lifeforce cannot be used for future crafting. Collectors and Storage Tanks can store condensed Lifeforce up to a capacity. If you do not have enough storage space, the excess is lost.
3074
31- - [[Metamorph Brain]] - the abilities associated with Brain samples are "Lingering"
75+Harvesting a Tier 4 seed will cause a Heart of the Grove to grow. It takes 100 cycles to grow. Once it finishes growing, you can harvest it to challenge the Avatar of the Grove.
3276
33- - [[Metamorph Eye]] - the abilities associated with Eye samples are "Simple"
77+The player is responsible for planting seeds and placing equipment and arranging the plot. Equipment costs Lifeforce to craft. The list of equipment are as follows:
3478
35- - [[Metamorph Lung]] - the abilities associated with Lung samples have "Medium Delay"
79+### Lifeforce Collector
80+Lifeforce Collectors are used to harvest fully grown plants of matching color within a 5x5 grid around itself. You must have at least 8 fully grown plants in order to start harvesting. It costs 25 Lifeforce to craft. It has 3 variants: Primal, Vivid and Wild Lifeforce Collector.
3681
37- - [[Metamorph Heart]] - the abilities associated with Heart samples have "Long Delay"
82+Each collector can also store up to 50 Lifeforce. You can use the auto-plant button to automatically plants seeds of the same color in your inventory around it.
3883
39- - [[Metamorph Liver]] - the abilities associated with Liver samples have "Short Delay"
84+### Disperser
85+Dispersers use stored lifeforce to fertilize crops in a 5x5 grid around itself. It costs 30 Lifeforce to craft.
4086
41-- ### Vendor recipe
42-Any three itemized organs (even of differing types) can be sold to a NPC to receive a random organ differing from those offered, with random rewards. Thus, if the players lack Eyes and/or Livers, they should use 1 Brain, 1 Heart, and 1 Lung in the recipe to maximize the chances of receiving an organ they need.
87+### Storage Tank
88+Storage Tanks are used to store condensed lifeforce to be used for fertilizing crops. Each Storage Tank can hold up to 1000 Lifeforce. It costs 75 Lifeforce to craft.
4389
44-- ### Strategy
45-Metamorphs can be spawned anywhere on the map using the UI button in the lower right. Using different strategies with placement can make defeating them easier.
90+### Advanced Storage Tank
91+Advanced Storage Tanks are higher capacity Storage Tanks that can hold up to 5000 Lifeforce. It costs 5000 Lifeforce to craft.
4692
47- - For characters that can hit enemies off screen with ranged skills, placing the metamorph in an open area will make it easier to hit them far away and get away.
93+### Horticrafting Station
94+Horticrafting Stations allows you to spend Lifeforce to store a craft from a harvest, allowing you to save crafting options for later. Up to 3 crafting options can be stored. It costs 1800 Lifeforce to craft, which means you must harvest multiple higher tier crops at once in order to craft one.
4895
49- - For characters that use melee hits, placing the metamorph in the smallest area you can find will prevent large amounts of enemies from hitting you at the same time.
50-
51- - If the atlas has a watchstone in the maps region with a sextant modifier that says "Area has additional packs of monsters that convert" there will be traitorous totems on the map that give the player and minions auras. Spawning the metamorph near these totems will give the player and minions auras during the metamorph fight.
52-
53-### Tane's Laboratory
54-**Tane's Laboratory** is an area. This area has a [[waypoint]].
96+### Pylon
97+Pylons are used to connect equipment with each other. They have a range of approximately 4 tiles. You can have up to 4 connections for each pylon. All connected equipment must have matching colors. It costs 10 Lifeforce to craft.
