Marker seeds

Marker seeds are used to plant Marker plants, similar to the way mithril seeds are used to plant flowers. They can be planted in most areas and can only be removed by the player who placed it there, or captains in the same clan. They were released on the 15 July 2009 Faruq's Tools for Games update. Faruq's stall is located in Al-kharid market next to Ali Morrisane's stall. They can be purchased for 65gp each. The bag of marker seeds can plant an infinite number of marker plants, but the plants can not be planted fewer than 10 tiles away from each other, and has 10 seconds of cooling time.

The seeds can be simply planted to mark a spot, or can be made to point north, south, east, west, north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west, or the player's current direction. All players can see the plant indicating direction if shown. Your marker plants are temporary and are destroyed after twenty minutes, or when you log out. Players can use the plants to mark out paths or trails to follow. Other players might plant Marker Plants to confuse that path. However, the 10 tile distance limit applies to all players planting market seeds.

Marker Seeds can also be planted on abury in the varrok runeshop, after speeking with him plant a tree directly underneath him. this will cause all essence bots to die, bots will gather in the shop and is rather amuzing.



Trivia

 * There is a glitch where multiple plants can be planted in same area. The more plants, the more people required to plant it.
 * Players can use the plant to hide, since other players cannot see the player standing on the plant, but instead just see the plant. This is widely used for player killing. So much, in fact, that this is it main use. And for the same reason it can be sold for prices ranging from 5k-10k to some pkers.
 * There is a glitch where ONE person can plant marker seeds anywhere (i.e. bank) and can plant as many as they want. This has been fixed.
 * This is the only seed available for free players.
 * Players can use Marker plants to catch bots, an example was where bots would use the Daemonheim bank, a marker plant could be planted infront of the banker, causing bots to malfunction.
