Average harvest yield

Each time a bundle of flax is picked from a fully grown plant, one of its harvest lives risks being expended in the process. The chance to successfully harvest a flax without losing a harvest life scales with the player's Farming level and ranges from around 59% at level 18 up to a 76% chance at level 99.[1] These chances can be increased further by bringing along a pair of magic secateurs, in addition to having an attas plant growing in one's anima patch.
