1 | Flint Harvesting Sickle | 100% |

4 | Starmetal Harvesting Sickle | 400% |
5 | Orichalcum Harvesting Sickle | 625% |

Fast leveling of Harvesting
In New World, the fastest way to develop Harvesting is collecting Hemp. The best location to farm it is in Windshield, nearby Spirit Shrine. The area is also connected by a fast travel point, so you can quickly return to the settlement to store or sell obtained resources. It is worth adding that this method works well with Armoring, as Hemp is required to make gloves.
