Harvest Points

Harvest Points is a buff-style event centered on the kitchen, not the field. Its effect is twofold and explicit: 2x cooking speed, and Christmas Food returns doubled — meaning every festive dish you cook produces twice the output for the same ingredients while the bonus is active.

That combination makes this one of the best windows in the whole Christmas Harvest loop, because the two effects compound. Halved cook times mean you can run far more batches in the same span, and each of those batches yields double Christmas Food, so total throughput climbs sharply rather than linearly. Since cooked food is what you spend on event progress, this is effectively a points-acceleration event despite its plain name.

To capitalize, stockpile ingredients before it fires so the Cooking Pot never sits idle waiting on harvests, then cook nonstop the entire time the buff runs — queue your highest-value festive recipes first, since doubling a valuable dish banks more than doubling a cheap one. Because the row lists no duration or rarity, do not count on a known timer; the moment you see the effect, treat the pot as your single highest-priority station.
