Harvest is a league mechanic in Path of Exile, where the player fights monsters in The Sacred Grove to access various Harvest crafting options that they provide. Maps have a chance to contain a portal to The Sacred Grove.
Each Sacred Grove instance contains several Lifeforce Dispersers, which are each attached to two patches of seeds. Each seed patch shows a list of consumable Harvest crafts that can be obtained from the patch.
You can choose which patch to activate. When a patch is chosen, the other patch attached to the Lifeforce Disperser withers, and monsters spawn from the activated patch. When these monsters are defeated, the Harvest crafts for the chosen patch become available for use at the Lifeforce Disperser.
