Quick Facts

• Chain Position: Final quest in the optional Jeremiah Hawning 2-quest chain

Harvest Collector Locations

• The Harvest Collectors are found in the fields just north of Jeremiah Hawning’s position.
• Coordinates: [58, 61] or [56, 62] — Jeremiah is looking directly at them.

How to Complete

1. Kill a Harvest Collector.
2. While standing near the destroyed mechanical, use Jeremiah’s Tools from your inventory (or action bar).
3. The Harvest Collector transforms into a Converted Harvest Collector that will fight for Farshire.
4. Repeat 5 times.

Reckless Scavenger Spawn

When you rewire a Harvest Collector, a Reckless Scavenger (ghoul) will spawn and charge toward your newly converted ally. You can let the Converted Harvest Collector fight it, help kill the Scavenger, or simply move on. The conversion credit is already counted.

Lore Context

• Jeremiah Hawning’s ingenuity turns farming equipment into weapons: “Take my tools and put some of the harvest collectors out of commission. Once they’re down use the tools to plug all the red wires into the blue sockets. That’ll make them go into self-defense mode.”
• His satisfaction at the quest’s end: “Nice job! I finally feel useful again… and that’s sayin’ something.” For a man whose livelihood was destroyed by the Scourge, finding a way to fight back matters.
• The Converted Harvest Collectors join Farshire’s makeshift defenses, farm machinery repurposed for war.
