Tips
This craft worked for "+#% to max (cold/fire/lightning) resistance" mod, as well as "added small passives also grant +#% (cold/fire/lightning) resistance" mod of the cluster jewel, but does not work for hybrid elemental and chaos resistance mod.
Lore
Despite the game does not provide official bestiary entry for this monster, but as the name suggests, likes many other monsters that named after "Beast", Wild Bristlebeast probably a gargantuan.
Fixed a bug where the maximum Resistance modifiers introduced for Shields in 3.17.0 were unable to be changed to another type of Resistance through Harvest crafting options.
Crafts are no longer guaranteed from seeds. Now, seeds of Tiers 1, 2 and 3 each have a chance to provide a craft, with Tier 4 seeds still guaranteeing a craft. Please note that the number of Tier 2 and 3 seeds encountered in Harvest Plots has remained unchanged, so the encounters will remain as challenging as they were before.
Based on the wording of the patch notes, the chance to encounter tier 1 and 4 plots has changed, on top of the change in the chance to grant craft. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
The base life of all Harvest monsters has been reduced by 30-50%, however Harvest machinery now grants monsters around 100% extra increased life on average. The intention here is to keep the Life values of Monsters spawned in Harvest encounters approximately the same as they were before, but significantly lower the life values on the Desecrated versions of these Monsters to bring them into line with other Desecratable Monsters.
Harvest has been added to the core game and has been vastly reworked. It no longer contains a garden-building component, nor a permanent garden of your own. Instead, you now have a chance to discover a portal to an established Sacred Grove in maps, which contains several different harvestable plots.
Harvest characters will soon be migrated to their respective parent leagues. The Sacred Grove and its contents have been removed. Harvest Infrastructure and Seeds outside of The Sacred Grove will be removed at a later date.
