During the Era of Harvest, the following temporary effects apply to the entire Galaxy:
-Planet colonizations will sometimes cause the Archotage Power Grid effect.
-Shield Restorer and Shield Amplifier artifacts will not appear in artifact shipments.
-The Archotage daily mission will unlock after completing Ravyn's Return (Rank 500+)

I need these upgrades please:

-Captured T.O. Harvester VI - Upgraded:
-T.O. Harvest Vault V - Upgraded:

So far Archotage Transmitter and T.O. Gridrunner are dropping the same items as last year.

As someone else mentioned, there is an updated reward for the T.O. Harvester.

I imagine the Sarkonis, Harvest Leader drops haven't changed but here's to hoping!

Think I'll pass on the shields this year, but I'll definitely buy the ally. Went human hacker to go for the medal as well.

Useing a arcotage amplifier from last years event will not upgrade captured t.o harvister VI

but useing the amp from this year on a planet of mine that had everything upgraded exept for the new harvister seemed to have consumed the arti but didnt upgrade the harvister

Upgraded Sarkonis Barrier drop:

Ravyn, Covert Operative currently does not seem to 'count' as an ally when using Command Codes, so people may want to hold off on using those abilities until that's been resolved

there is also a restriction on the GTC so you can not auction off any that you have in stock ... and here i was hoping to sell off some of my surplus to desperate customers

so if you get the Siladon Event this month .. watch your supplies !

FYI:

We had the Barrier II last year. Does this mean there is no upgrade ?

Is there an advanced Sarkonis NPC ?

It was right there in one of the replies on page 1.
