Marker seeds

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A player planting a Marker seed.

Marker seeds are used to plant Marker plants, similar to the way mithril seeds are used to plant flowers. They can be planted in most areas and can only be removed by the player who placed it there, or captains in the same clan. They were released on the 15 July 2009 Faruq's Tools for Games update. Faruq's stall is located in Al-kharid market next to Ali Morrisane's stall. They can be purchased for 65gp each. The bag of marker seeds can plant an infinite number of marker plants, but the plants can not be planted fewer than 10 tiles away from each other.

The seeds can be simply planted to mark a spot, or can be made to point north, south, east, west, north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west, or the player's current direction. When another player sees the marker, it will indicate direction if shown. Your marker plants are temporary and are destroyed after twenty minutes, or when you log out. Players can use the plants to mark out paths or trails to follow. Other players might plant Marker Plants to confuse that path.

[edit] Trivia

A player stands near the Grand Exchange with multiple marker plants grown.
  • There is a glitch where multiple plants can be planted in same area. The more plants, the more people required to plant it.
  • There is a glitch where ONE person can plant marker seeds anywhere (i.e. bank) and can plant as many as they want. This has yet to be fixed. A player has been seen doing this at Draynor bank in world 1 and stated that "I will be here for the next for weeks."(As of 16 December, 2009)
A player has planted multiple marker seeds in Varrock east bank.
