Fairy rings[]
There are several locations where bittercap mushrooms can be planted in enchanted soil, completing a fairy ring thus allowing the player to use it to teleport as any other fairy ring. Five mushrooms are required to complete each fairy ring, and the player must have a spade with them, or on their tool belt, to make the repair. Note that it is the mushrooms themselves, not the spores that are used. The locations of the incomplete fairy rings are as follows:
- The Ancient Cavern (code: BJQ)
- The Kharazi Jungle (code: CJS)
- The Lost Grove (code: BJS)
