# 【Tutorial 19】#Mini Harvester# How to Harvest RT Step by Step
The **Mini Harvester System** is one of the core earning and progression features within the RealGo ecosystem. It enables players to **harvest RT Shards**, the key component for minting **$RT tokens**, and to acquire **rare crafting materials** used to forge advanced equipment such as **Meme Runes** and **Character Gears**. All players who participate in harvesting now have a 100% chance to earn RT Shard rewards, with rewards distributed every a few minutes. #### System Overview Players can deploy their **Mini Harvesters** into the **Core Field**, a decentralised mining area where participants collectively compete for limited RT Shards and materials. Each harvester requires **three guardian Meme Pets**, whose strength and attributes determine the player’s defensive and offensive capabilities during competitive events. Only pets at **Level 7 or above** can now guard your Harvesters and join the harvesting operations.
Once the Core Field session begins, all active players enter a **Challenge Point (CP) ranking system**, which determines their shard output and reward tier. The higher the player’s CP, the greater the reward efficiency per harvest cycle.
#### Mechanics * **Participation**: Players must meet specific requirements, including **minimum level 5,** harvester ownership, and sufficient durability, to enter the Core Field.
* **Entering a Session:** Each Core Field session supports up to 30 players. A session begins once at least 10 players have joined. * **RT Shards:** While harvesting, RT Shards may be found from time to time. Each time this happens, RT Shards are awarded to randomly selected players. The amount you receive depends on your harvester’s power. * **Materials:** Each harvest always yields 1 random material. Your ranking affects material rarity:Higher-ranked players have a better chance to obtain rarer materials. Lower-ranked players are more likely to obtain common materials. * **Competitive Ranking**: All participants start with a base **CP value(1,000)**. Rankings update **in real time** based on CP. If multiple players have the same CP, **the player who reached it earlier ranks higher**. While waiting in the queue, ranking priority is determined by **entry time**. * Each player receives 3 free tickets daily. Once all tickets are used, 1 additional ticket regenerates every 15 min (only when you have no tickets remaining). Additional tickets can be **purchased**. * **Resource Management**: Each harvester has **Durability** and **Gas** parameters. Durability determines operational longevity, while Gas fuels the **Turbo Mode**, which enhances harvest speed at the cost of higher consumption. * **Continuity**: Mini Harvesters continue mining even when players are offline, ensuring that progression and rewards remain uninterrupted. * **Leaving & Rewards：**Leaving a session early **resets CP to 1000**. All rewards earned before leaving are **saved to your backpack**. Once the Core Field is fully harvested, **any remaining rewards are automatically delivered**. ### Craft a second (or more) Mini Harvesters
### Ways to unlock new slots: 1. Slots are automatically unlocked when the player reaches the required level, or 2. Players can spend **RT Shards** or **GEM** to unlock them early.
Newly crafted Mini Harvesters must be equipped in a slot before they can start mining.
### Harvester Dashboard A clearer and more powerful dashboard to fully manage your Mini Harvester operations. When you have unused slots and want to mine more, you can tap **“Manage”** to activate an additional mining portal. More portals will then appear on your **Radar**, and you can also **boost your Radar** to expand the scanning range. Activate **Radar Boost** to scan and discover more exciting things — more friends, more harvesting portals, more airdrops, and more elite Bosses.
### **TIPS:** 1.Higher rankings in the Core Fields unlock greater harvesting rewards. Better Mini Harvesters with faster harvesting speeds give you a chance to earn even more rewards. 2\. Want to run multiple harvesting operations at the same time? You can craft a second (or more) Mini Harvesters. Just make sure you have enough available slots before adding more! 3\. Don’t forget, you can also harvest materials to further boost your overall gameplay experience. ### FAQ **Q1: Why can’t I enter the Core Field?** A: Check level (≥Lv.5), harvester ownership, 3 guardians ready, durability, and whether the portal is full. **Q2: What if my Harvester runs out of durability?** A: Repair it with RT Shards. **Q3: Is Turbo worth it?** A: Yes — use Turbo when lots of Shards/Materials remain. Turn it off near depletion to save Gas. **Q4: What if I run out of challenge tickets?** A: System restores 1 every 15 minutes (only if tickets = 0), or you can buy more. **Q5: Will my harvester stop mining if I go offline?** A: No, harvesters continue harvesting until stop conditions are met.
