Finding Out How To Spawn The Harvester

[Zulaica]

So we've nailed down a few things about him but there is still much to know, if you have any sort of substantial evidence please post so.

 

Primes increase chances of finding Harvester

Being involved in the Gradivus Dillema increases the chances of spawning it (This should be self explanatory players that registered after the event are having as much luck as those who supported the Grineer or Corpus full and through during it)

Specific weapons increase chances of spawning Harvester

Planets have higher chances of spawning Harvester (As long as its a Corpus mission he can spawn)

Being in a mission from the start of it increases the chances of spawning Harvester

Low level weapons/frames increase chances of spawning Harvester (Likely has nothing to do with loadouts)

Corpus defense has highest chances of spawning Harvester (Apparently not true, he spawns on any Corpus mission after 240 seconds after spawning it seems)

Having both a Stalker mark and Harvester mark spawns the Harvester ???

Killing Alad V gives death mark to spawn Harvester ???

Other Corpus bosses besides Alad V give a death mark to spawn the Harvester ???

Nef.Anyo is a Harvester mark trigger ???

Highest chances of finding Harvester are on invasions against Corpus ✓(Confirmed on Livestream 20 that it is triggered by supporting Grineer)

You get a email in your inbox when you have a mark ✓

If you have anything you would like to add or confirm/deconfirm please feel free to post it.

TL:DR Support grineer until you get a email but be aware that the probabilities are butchered for the Harvester to appear according to the people on the Livestream

Anyone else farming?

I'm online now...

Also, I read DE said something about this in prime time, did they?

They have, but nothing really. They just said "stay tuned".

Guys i used this program yesterday, and i done this things corect me what i done wrong please.

 

So i used solo mod

Didnt invited anyone

I activated stalker hunter

I killed phorid then all corpus bosses

I got deathmark sign in program

 

I did move a little from spawn  and then i minimize wait until it runs out, then i enter again, if i dont see anyting i restart.

 

I done that over 25 times, note that i dont reset the program itself, i was just fokusing again since i did have barell and bp from first time i ever met harvester.

 

In  total i spawned him 2 times never after new patch.

 

Now tell me

1/.can i enter defence mission and run a little, then minimize and get back without any worry i will miss someting?

2.Is it 100%  required to watch screen.

 

3.Can i TRUST program when it says it didnt spawn, even if i am a little far from spawn.

1. Switch warframe to windowed mode.

2. Enable "Always on top" within Stalker Hunter

3. Kill Nef Anyo and Kril

4. Go to Xini/ Io 

5. Wait for the timer to countdown within the App

6. Wait an additional 15 seconds..

7. ????

8. Profit

Repeat until Harvester appears. 

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Repeat until Harvester appears. 

Not very lucky today, we're on Xini and we did already like 20 runs, no luck so far!

[lucio1019]

The line only appears if you are hosting a mission with 2 or more players.

 

Deathmarks can accumulate, but i am unsure of the mechanics involved.

 

I am kind of lost here.

I started a public game, have the stalker hunter open, wait at the spawn point.

Soon after I started the game, 3 more ppl come in. And since I was the only one in the beginning of the game, I am the hoster, which also reflected in ee.log.

But deathmarks lines still not show up in ee.log.

Do I miss something? Tks

[SALE94]

Thanks Autrix02 :)

And happy hunt wish for all of you others.

I have yet to reach step 8.

It generally appears when you return to the lobby and people are still in the party or you invite New ones.

[Riccoshot]

Is anybody farming Harvester right now?

I'd like to join.

Thank you very much.

 

So, I dont need to be in the game?

Or it appears when all 3 points below fulfills:

1. I am the hoster for 2 or more player

2. The game ends

3. 2 or more players' names show up on the last data screen

I had this idea where it is a
"Corpus Invasion Mission" and play 1 time on the corpus side an then 2 times on the grineer side.
will that be betraying and will get a  "betrayal mark"?
I mean I'm just following his taunt.

Cuz stalker's taunt happened to be what we did which is to get a death mark and I though we need to have a betrayal mark

 

& yes I know not this is not the case and irrelevant now but maybe it will increase the spawn rate??

[Azure_Kytia]

The conditions from my experience are

 

1. Be in the lobby

2. Have more than 1 player in the group.

 

Having another player join your group while still in the lobby will redo the check, listing the players in the lobby except the one who joined.

[Dataz]

Do you have listed all players in your lobby every time ? In my experience, most time it tells me only about my deathmark, what about my teammates, it's quite rare for me. Maybe I do something wrong.

[Morgax]

I think DE changed something this time, i checked my mark before entering xini (Hyena), completed mission without harvester/stalker appearing.

 

Checked my marks again after mission completed with Phorid marked

 

So, if you try to do non-boss missions if you want to take break from detron farming be ready to be surprised.

[Azure_Kytia]

That's normal, for the reason i partly explained above. There is either an issue with the way DE logs or they don't need it. The player who joined last isn't (or is very rarely) logged into the Ee.log.

Sorry but I've just quit.

I've done 50 runs with no luck, I'm tired and bored, I'm wasting my time.

I've been sick the last 2 days so I've been able to spend time on this hunt, but after 11.6 it has become ridiculous.

We had a hard but still decent spawn before, but now it's insane.

I'd love to have everything this game can offer me, cause I really enjoy it, but this is too much.

I'll be back when DE change it to more reasonable ways, otherwise f**k the Detron, I have other things to do, can't spend hours and hours grinding on a RNG based weapon with very poor results.

[SALE94]

I found him 2 times already with a group .

 

Both times bp stil need receiver we only kill nef anyo.

Honestly, unless the Detron gives you 50 platinum with every kill, I can't see it being worth this.

I've spent literally the ENTIRE day spamming defense missions, sacrificing my poor completion rate. The same friend I had mentioned earlier got the Harvester again with just a couple of runs...and dropped nothing...
