FlaxPickerUnderwater seaweed patch runs: farming giant seaweed
Recurring Moderate Members Ironman-friendly Timer-limited
Plant a seaweed spore with ultracompost in each of the two underwater patches, then come back about 40 minutes later to harvest the giant seaweed. Only two patches, so it is best tacked onto other Fossil Island activities.
Requirements
- Skills: 23 Farming
- Quests: Bone Voyage
- Items: Fishbowl helmet, Diving apparatus
- Note: Two seaweed patches on the seabed off Fossil Island; the Fossil Island Elite diary is not needed. Assumes a digsite pendant for travel.
