Elder seed

An elder seed is a possible loot from crystal implings, the Motherlode Maw, the Crystal chest at the Iorwerth clan in Prifddinas, and Crystal Shapeshifters after the completion of The Light Within.

Before Prifddinas was released it used to be obtained from skilling for 24 hours while wearing the crystal amulet, or while wearing a clover necklace if the player owns the crystal amulet. One elder seed is received for every 24 crystal motherlode shards from the amulet, and the following message is shown: "Your crystal amulet has produced an elder tree seed."

Elder tree seeds can be planted in a plant pot full of soil and grown into an Elder sapling, which can be re-planted in the Elder tree patch located in the Crwys Clan district of Prifddinas. Sior will watch over a growing Elder tree at the cost of a payment of 25 morchella mushrooms.

Growing an elder seed into a tree and checking its health is a requirement for the title.
