Harvesting Tools
In Game Update 60 harvesting tools were changed. The base harvest time of players was reduced from 5 seconds to 3 seconds, and to counter-balance that the reduction amounts of tools, racial abilities and so forth were also lowered. The fastest harvesting time you can have is 1.5 seconds (so a total of 1.5 seconds reduction).
The biggest change was for Woodworker harvesting tools. Instead of tiers 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 having five separate tools each, they have been condensed into one tool. These tools had a bountiful harvest type effect added to them. Additionally, their effect now stacks with the Tinkered harvesting tools.
