Harvester Quest Not Counting? (Wanderburg)

If the Harvester objective is not moving you are almost certainly destroying treasure vehicles instead of Harvesters, or you are expecting an overall counter to advance inside a single run. Harvesters are the large, slow vehicles with a long spiked roller at the front.

The four usual causes

CauseCheck
Destroying a treasure vehicleDoes the target have a long spiked roller at the front?
Per-run vs overall objectiveDoes the objective text say "in one run"?
Wrong LandSome objectives only advance in a specific Land
Reading the German labelThe quest target is called Ernter in the German UI

How to confirm you have the right target

  1. Look for the spiked roller on the front of the vehicle.
  2. Check it is large and slow — Harvesters do not chase or flee quickly.
  3. Re-read the objective: if it says in one run, kills in earlier runs do not count.
  4. If the Land is wrong, replay the objective's own Land rather than the hardest one you have.
