Tool leprechaun



Tool leprechauns are non-player characters found wandering near Farming patches around Gielinor. They provide three basic functions: store Farming tools, exchange harvested items into banknotes, and are portals to the Vinesweeper minigame.

They will store many of the tools that players use for Farming, but they will not store seeds, crops, or plant cures. The tool leprechaun does not accept noted tools. The tools stored are available to all the leprechauns. Leprechaun Larry (found on Troll Stronghold) sells an assortment of Farming-related items.

All Tool leprechauns can carry various Farming tools for you:
 * Farming rake - for removing weeds.
 * Seed dibber - to plant any seed except trees.
 * Watering can - to water vegetables, flowers, and hops as well as tree seedlings.
 * All-purpose spade - for harvesting or clearing patches. Used to remove dead plants.
 * Gardening trowel - for filling a plant pot with soil and putting a tree seed into a plant pot.
 * Secateurs - for pruning diseased trees or removing Willow branches.
 * After Fairytale I - Growing Pains quest, they can be upgraded to Magic secateurs, when wielded increases yields by 10% from allotments, herb and hop patches.
 * Empty buckets (up to 31)
 * Normal Compost (up to 255)
 * Supercompost (up to 255)
 * Scarecrows (up to 4)

A very useful feature of the tool leprechaun is that he will swap harvested crops for banknotes if the player uses the item on him, including clean herbs.

Leprechauns, except for Leprechaun Larry, can also teleport players to the Vinesweeper minigame. To do this, players can right-click on him and select 'teleport'. He will then say "Avach nimporto!", and the player will arrive at the minigame. There is a portal north-east of the farmhouse to return to the patch.

Leprechauns

 * At least one of the unnamed leprechauns is named Patrick, as revealed in Postbag from the Hedge 38.

Trivia

 * When the player attempts to exchange cabbages into a note with the tool leprechaun in the Port Sarim farming patch he will decline saying that 'The whole farm reeks of them' and to get them exchanged elsewhere.
 * When the player attempts to exchange a non-notable item the leprechaun will say "Nay, I've got no banknotes to exchange for that item" or if it cannot be a note "Nay, I can't turn that into a banknote."
 * Prior to May 27, 2009, all Leprechauns looked alike. Now there are several different models for leprechauns, including Leprechauns seated in wheelbarrows, without hats, wearing desert or Karamja clothes, wielding magic wands and even female Leprechauns were introduced.
