Seaweed spore detail

Seaweed spores are used in the Farming skill and require level 23 in the skill to grow them. They are planted at the seaweed patch in the underwater area of Fossil Island. Players can pay Mernia to protect this patch by giving her 200 numulites.

The Giant Seaweed patch minimum harvest is unaffected by compost unlike herbs, but final yield is still increased on average.[1] However, magic secateurs and the farming cape do not have an effect.[2]

Once fully grown, which takes approximately 35-40 minutes, players will be able to harvest giant seaweeds. A minimum of three can be collected per patch, with the average being around 20–40 depending on one's Farming level if super or ultracompost is used.
