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

sweet. grats =)

 

what did you do to spawn the harvester? how many runs? can you tell a little bit more?

Basically just sit in Io, Jupitor for 4mins then abort (repeat until u gone nuts), although you might have better chance if you received battle pay from the invasion.

This is starting to drive me nuts. I have probably spent 100 hours in the last 2 weeks, farming for the harvester, and I have not seen him once. This needs to be fixed and all players deserve some sort of compensation. The brakk was not this hard to obtain, and I could imagine it being better than the detron.

So one encounter after 11.6??

 

Yes, only one. But I played not so much after that frustrating grinding marathon (btw, harvy spawned on another player, not on me).

 

 

Great man ,congrats i hope that i will have yours luck.

 

Sincerely wish you good luck, man!

Do people really get a Harvester encounter on them every 10/15 runs on average? I run 30+ wave 5 Xini missions daily, and it's rare for me to even get one encounter. (Do note that I mainly do this with a close friend of mine, if not I go solo which is roughly 30% of the time. He's encountered four and I've only encountered one that dropped absolutely nothing so far.) 

I use to do the 4 minute wait at Io->leave method, which caused me to get that one Harvester at 300+ attempts...but my fail rate is raising too rapidly. Plus I don't really feel like it's reliable. 

I've killed Anyo and Krill plenty of times, and I've done quite a bit of invasion missions while supporting the Grineer. I recently got the battle pay too. Yet this thing refuses to hunt me down. 

All I'm really searching for is some advice. I'm aware that it all comes down to RNG, but my mind is numbing out with no results.

That spawn rate was before 11.6, now it's safe to say that a spawn targeting you can appear once every 70-100 missions.

Even before 11.6, it was ridiculous for me. It still hasn't changed now.

Though if they really did make the chances more rare, then I guess I have to go back to quitting every 4 minutes...
