Potato cactus is a members-only item that currently has the following uses with two member skills:
- Herblore – as a secondary ingredient[2] when creating magic potions.[fn 1][fn 2]
- Summoning – as a binding component[4] when infusing spirit kalphite pouches.[fn 3]
[edit] Obtaining
[edit] Kalphite Hive
There are a total of 10 spawns in the Kalphite Hive:
- 1st level – 3 spawn in the south-west room where the Kalphite Soldiers are found.
- 2nd level – 7 spawn on the west wall next to the Kalphite Queen.
Note: Prior to a player entering the Kalphite Hive, it is highly recommended they bring along a few antipoison potions, as Kalphite Soldiers are poisonous. The Kalphite Queen, however is not poisonous.[fn 4]
[edit] Soul Wars
Additionally, they can be randomly obtained as a reward by gambling two zeal points in the Soul Wars minigame.
[edit] Trivia
- The Potato cactus' appearances resemble those of the brittle pricklypears (Opuntia fragilis) found in dry western regions of North America.[5]
[edit] Footnotes
- ^ Using a vial of water, making this potion by mixing Lantadyme and Potato cactus requires an Herblore level of at least 76.[2]
- ^ When consumed, one dose of Magic potion temporarily boosts the player's Magic level by 4.[3]
- ^ Making this pouch requires a Summoning level of at least 25.[4]
- ^ For this reason, buying Potato cactus as opposed to collecting, will prove expensive when purchased from the Grand Exchange.[1]
