Spirit seed


 * This article is about the seed that grows into a Spirit tree. For the seed that grows into Spirit weed, see Spirit weed seed.



A Spirit seed is a rare seed that members can use to grow a spirit tree at level 83 Farming, level 80 with a Garden pie or at level 79 if a stranger plant is used (Note that the stranger plant farming boost is not automatic. You must use the 'Interact' option from the follower control panel.) when planting the seed to a plant pot and the sapling to the patch. It is technically possible to plant it at level 77 farming if the player manages to get a +6 farming boost from brown Spicy stews. However, the +6 boost is extremely difficult to get, while the +5 boost is more easily obtained, so it is recommended to reach level 78 farming before attempting to boost via spicy stews.

There are three spirit tree patches, one each at Port Sarim, Etceteria, and Brimhaven. However, only one spirit tree patch may be planted at one time. After completion of the quest Prisoner of Glouphrie you may plant and grow, up to two Spirit Trees with level 86 farming (82 with Stranger plant boost and 83 with Garden Pie). You need to pay each farmer separately to watch it if planting two spirit trees. (Multiple spirit tree seeds may be planted in plant pots and grown into spirit tree saplings at the same time. Only one or two can be planted. Once the spirit tree is grown or dies, it can be removed and another sapling planted.)



Spirit tree seeds are untradeable, although this was not always the case. Players can buy a spirit seed from Mrs. Winkin for 55,000 Vinesweeper points. Players who have completed Royal Trouble may occasionally receive a spirit seed from managing their kingdom (workers allocated to farming). They may be obtained from Bird's nests, including nests from Miscellania and Etceteria (workers allocated to woodcutting maple or Mahogany trees). You can also get them as a drop from Ganodermic beast.

Players must first plant the seed in a plant pot containing soil, water it from a watering can, and then wait for the seedling to germinate. They must then plant the Spirit sapling in one of the three spirit tree patches, which are located south of the castle on Etceteria, in north-east Port Sarim, and north-east Brimhaven..

Spirit trees are always looked after by gnome farmers for 5 Monkey nuts, 1 Monkey bar, and 1 Suqah Ground tooth.

The assist system can not be used at any point to help others grow Spirit seeds although temporary farming boosts will work for this purpose.

After the quest The Prisoner of Glouphrie, Golrana wishes to learn about Spirit trees, and will offer a spirit tree seed storage (any number of seeds).

Trivia

 * Since you can only plant a maximum of 2 spirit tree seeds currently, Golrana, having the ability to store more seeds you obtain, might hint at additional spirit tree patches in the future.
