Description

Doubles the number of items you get with each harvest.

You'll pick 2 flowers or ores or such with each harvest, cutting your stock time of that item in half.

If it's a double-harv item like blue star flowers, you'll get 4 at a time.

High-level ores that require swords such as tin, hydrogenium, etc. will still only harvest one at a time. One per sword.

You can get this perk with the Excavator cape, or the Pickaxe of Magic. (You cannot equip either of these if you have the perk, and you cannot equip both of these items at the same time.)

Notes

Using the cape instead of wasting pickpoints is highly recommended.

You'll see when you harvest that most everyone harvesting around you will be wearing the brown Excavator cape. That's because it's cheap, easily available, and isn't in the way when all you're doing is harvesting.
