Harvest (Echoes of Mana)

A Harvest is an activity in Echoes of Mana.

Mechanics
A, players can spend earned and purchased Spirit Crystals for a chance at any of the game's available units and Memory Gems to build their parties and progress through gameplay missions. Most harvests are valued at 300 SC per single pick, or 2700 SC for a 10-pick with a guaranteed 3★ or better drop. The first 10-pick of any harvest usually receives a 50% discount.

When the player initiates the pick, the results are rolled with a random number generator (RNG). Once settled, the twins use their harvesters to pluck fruit from the Mana Tree, which can take the form of a peach or a blossom. Each fruit is colored according to the rarity of the pick drawn, similarly to how Trials of Mana (2020) grades its item seeds. Peaches represent ally units, while blossoms represent Memory Gem cards. Should the player draw a new or rare pick, that pick may trigger a skyward burst of light from the top of the Mana Tree before all is revealed. All picks are uncovered sequentially on a separate screen, with a chance that one or more may gain a rank before it is revealed.

Event harvests
The most common type of harvest, these harvests usually occur in tandem with featured events. Up to two units and two Memory Gems are featured at 4★ rarity with slightly higher drop rates. They usually follow the duration of the linked event.

Fresh Picks
Fresh Pick harvests typically focus on single characters and memory gems that are also featured during an event, but for a shorter duration, usually 3 to 7 days.

Step-up Harvest
Introduced in late August 2022. the step-up harvest begins as a regular draw with normal odds and the same 50% discount as a standard harvest. Repeated attempts of the same draw offer increased odds of obtaining rare picks, though each will be at full price.

Ticket harvest
In addition to the purchased harvests, there are a small number of harvests in which players can pick with dedicated tickets for each. Several loot crates available for purchase include either a 4★ unit or memory gem voucher, though subject to the same odds as a regular harvest in that the guaranteed item may already be in the player's inventory. There is also the Bronze Harvest, in which players can use tickets earned through login campaigns to acquire common picks up to 3★.

Spending priority
In cases where both earned and purchased crystals must be used, purchased crystals take priority.
