Harvest Sacred Crystal LIfeforce Feedback

Hello GGG,

Just wanted to give some feedback on the White Lifeforce in harvest for 3.19. Long story short I can't find any. Ever since you made the changes to the prices of the crafts in the harvest crafting station I've been fully invested in the harvest mechanic on the atlas passive tree.

The only thing I haven't looked into is getting certain sextant mods to see if it can help me acquire some of this white lifeforce.

I'm now lvl 98 on my build having done all my harvests on the way to that level. I would say I've killed a bunch of the harvest bosses in that time. I haven't found a single Oshabi Sacred Blossom to fight her in my journey either.

I would appreciate it if you would buff something in the Garden to help players find their own white lifeforce. Whether you simply buff boss encounters for better potential to get the blossom. Or buff blossom drop rates on the bosses. Or have bosses themselves drop some of the white lifeforce.

I would very much appreciate these considerations.

I know GGG wants these white lifeforce crafts to be rare. And with trading being a thing you don't want them to be to common.

It's a bit of a bummer to have played quite a bit in the league and not encounter Oshabi and even have the chance to perform 1 of these crafts in what I would consider a reasonable amount of time to think you could get one. (leveling to level 98 normally doing mostly mapping [without things like 5 way carries or breachstone rotations])

Unlucky I guess. I have gotten 7 and I just play a little bit on standard. Casual+ at best. RNG is brutal sometimes

Every harvest boss should have a decent chance to drop one,
Just imo.

At least this league we've seen Harvest bosses.

well this about confirms for me harvest is completely ruined. i'm just a filthy casual, making my own builds and rarely playing past level 89, have not been able to make use of the current implementation of harvest at all. i used to use harvest crafting all the time 3.18 and before, the old system was very accessible for pros and casuals alike but is complete trash now. i was holding out hope that i might come across some white lifeforce sooner or later but with this feedback and given how many times i've had zero lifeforce of any kind drop, looking hard at the 2 digit totals for when it does drop, i'm ready now to drop the point in black thumb. 3.19 has been the worst patch i've lived though. between this, archnemesis, and the "oh its a buff" nerfs to freezing pulse removing first snow, i dont see a future for me in 3.20 without some backpedaling on the whole vision thing.

well, yeah, that bug got fixed.

and i really hope you see the problem of a rewarding scheme being open for casual players.

the weird thing is that ggg could get casuals some occasional surprise drops and such.
but the reddit elite succeeded in convicing casuals that rng in a game is a bad thing, go figure

Very well put.
I would add that it's especially frustrating given that there's a challenge that requires you to beat Oshabi.

The fracture craft ended up settling on a very fair value for what you get. Maybe double the number of crystals required for the fracture craft but then also double the number of Harvest bosses/crystal drops to even out the RNG?

I would love to add, in 2023, I have done a solid 30-50 harvests, not a single white lifeforce.... not one... I am beginning to think they took them out.
