How the Summer Harvest Event Works
The Summer Harvest Event runs for 10 minutes at the start of every hour. During this time, players can contribute eligible summer plants to a shared event bar.
Important things to know:
- The event is server-based, not solo
- All players contribute together
- Rewards are based on the highest rarity tier reached
- The maximum tier is Prismatic
Once Prismatic is reached, contributing more plants does not increase rewards.

Which Plants Can Be Contributed
Only plants that float in the air can be contributed to the event. If a plant floats when you carry it, it is eligible.
Common contributable summer plants include:
- Kiwi
- Loquat
- Banana
- Avocado
- Green Apple
- Pineapple
- Prickly Pear
- Feijoa
- Cauliflower
- Sugar Apple
- Watermelon
Some basic crops (like tomatoes, blueberries, and carrots) usually do not work unless they float.

What Actually Matters When Contributing
The most important thing to understand is that plant rarity matters more than plant value.
- Larger or more expensive plants do not matter
- Higher rarity fills the bar faster
- Prismatic rarity is the highest tier
Once the bar reaches Prismatic, you should stop contributing, because there is no benefit past that point.

Fastest Way to Complete the Event
The fastest strategy is simple:
- Save high-rarity summer plants ahead of time
- Join an active server right before the hour
- Contribute only until the bar reaches Prismatic
- Stop contributing once Prismatic is reached
Because the event is server-wide, using multiple accounts or participating with other players helps reach the max tier faster.

Event Rewards Explained
Even low contribution tiers give good rewards, but higher tiers dramatically improve what you receive.
Possible rewards include:
- Cacao seeds
- Pepper seeds
- Exotic summer seed packs
- Fun crates
- Honey crates
- Rare pets and older limited items
Rewards are random, but reaching Prismatic gives the best overall loot pool.
