Mobs defeated with the Harvester don't drop souls
If a mob is defeated with the Harvester, no souls will drop, no matter how many Soul Gathering you have.
Soul artefacts like the Lightning Rod and Harvester will cause mobs to not drop collectable souls (you can see the souls float up and fade away to the skies). This is intentional.
Ok, I understand but "souls floating up and fading away to the skies" is part of the Harvester's attack animation and the Lightning Rod doesn't have it.
Thank you for your report!
This is an intended behavior. Soul-based artifacts require souls to be activated, meaning that if their attacks were to also produce more souls upon kills, any cost in souls would be effectively nullified, making them severely overpowered.
Closing the ticket with the resolution of Works As Intended.
