you can collect seaweed next to he harpie bugs using the fairy ring FTW. the combo is:

(yes i have 500 buckets for sand, ask panix :lol: )

 

 

 

 

 

 

hehe, I win with over 1k buckets. :P

 

 

 

If it's buckets, I have almost 8k of them. If it's sand in buckets, then about 1k as well for me. (maybe 600 seaweed though) -- mostly from random pickups while fishing 3k sharks in catherby. Also the fishing colony where you can get monkfish has them as well -- I rarely get them there --- maybe only 20-30 per 1k monkfish I get out there.

My recommendation for anyone who fishes monkfish is to collect the seaweed in the nets in piscatoris. For every load of fish I cathch I collect 4-8 seaweed, just grab the 2 spawns when you start a trip and everytime you fishing spot moves. After a few thousand monkfish, suddenly you have 500 seaweed without even trying. this coupled with berts sand service makes orb crafting almost completely painless.

 

 

 

I do this as well (when I fish which is rarely lately) and can agree that this is probably the best "afk"-esque manner of seaweed collection. I bring a maple-magic log and tinderbox (since I am only 75 fm) and cook all of it there. Since the bank is so close the 2 inventory spots hardly have an impact.
