Harvesting
Updated for Brotato 1.2.0.1 · checked 2026-11-05

Harvesting pays materials and experience at the end of the wave, then increases by 5 percent, rounded up. Crown raises the interest-style rate to 13 percent in the wiki writeup. Farmer adds 3 percent. Entrepreneur applies a plus 50 percent modifier to harvesting. Negative harvesting does not generate that interest.
Endless changes the sign. From wave 21 the wiki says harvesting falls 20 percent per wave. A Farmer build that was correct for a 20-wave clear is not the same plan in Endless.
I would buy harvesting in the first shops on a character who is allowed to, and I would stop treating it as mandatory on Knight, whose harvesting modifier is minus 80 percent. The wiki page is the only formula source I opened.

FAQ
When should I take harvesting?
Early, on characters who are not penalized for it. Endless after wave 20 is the point where the stat starts shrinking.
Does Farmer stack with the base rule?
Yes. Farmer adds 3 percent on top of the end-of-wave growth the wiki describes.
