9 October 2007 - Back to my Roots quest

Featured Replies

If you have completed Back to my Roots, you will be able to grow a jade vine in a Farming patch in East Ardougne. Should you let this plant go 'wild', it will grow into an impressive Slayer monster. You cannot be assigned to kill the jade vine, but doing so will earn you a handy 3000 Slayer experience. Note, though, that you must attack it with a Woodcutting axe and have secateurs in your inventory.

A seed every week plus the 10 wildblood hops will get bloody annoying.

 

 

 

I hope it's hack at it one week then the other week etc. etc.

Can't do the quest.... farming and slayer too low... I hate farming.

Wait, so you cant pay the farmer to watch it? When mine grew it didnt turn into a slayer monster, i just checked it and got farming xp. Do I have to just wait longer?

Might do it just because of the Exp :)

got hit 71 by the book in sandys office

 

 

 

Perhaps the damage is a percentage of your total hp? If so, the moral is to make sure you have full health when you attempt it.

 

 

 

just for reference, i had 87/87 hp when i got hit 42 by the diary.

 

 

 

edit: total reward xp goes up to 112k!!! (including sidequest)

when you get your quest cape the hour after it's released, you're treated like a god.

 

 

 

now that there's guides out, I'm just another guy with a quest cape, lol

Yayyyyyy...

The jade vine has a kinda strange scientfic name

 

autoerplantvl1.png

 

 

 

Macro means large, big.

 

Botys means plant.

 

 

 

This has nothing to do with Autoers.

In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers.

 

Alansson Alansson, woo woo woo!

Pink owns yes, just like you!

GOOOOOOOOOO ALAN! WOO!

Dont prune your vine to make it go wild and talk to Horacio to get another jade vine seed.

Lvl 80 construction.

Anyone else find a bug in the new quest.

 

If you get the root put it in the pot and put the lid on and die. Before ypu ake it to Horacio.

 

You can not get another one. If you go to dig another root it wont allow you.

 

If you go to Horaccio to try to get him to reset something, it says you gave it to him and go ahead and plant it.

 

I sent a bug report to Jagex.

Most probably because they assumed everyone was smart enough to wait and see if the root takes like it tells you too before they sealed it in the pot?

 

 

 

Quite an obscure bug since it sounds as if u directly ignored a simple instruction the quest gives.

Wow , I guess you have you have trouble with reading comprehension.

 

I mentioned I had already put the lid on, which means the plant took hold.

 

What I said was I died basically on the way from putting the lid on to Horacio.

 

Thanks for the insulting though, it made me laugh.

The way you wrote your post made it sound like the plant had died, not you yourself. It's not his fault you can't make yourself understood.

 

 

 

But from what I can tell, dieing with the sealed pot in your inventory results in losing the seed and being unable to get it back?

Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores:

Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA

I never got the seed. I died carryng the closed pot to horacio basically.

 

After I died I went back to try to dig more roots and that didn't work.

 

I went to Horacio and he says thanks for bringing it back and go ahead and plant.

Don't insult me.

 

 

 

As the other guy said the way you wrote it implied that you:

 

 

 

Got the root

 

Put it into the plant pot

 

Sealed this into the other pot BEFORE waiting to see if it took or wilted

 

Got to Horacio and found it to be dead

 

 

 

 

 

What you wrote did NOT read as you died.

 

 

 

If you want to insult some for reading comprehension, ensure your post reads properly before you do so. My reading was perfectly correct of what you wrote, but clearly what you wrote was not what you meant.

 

 

 

Still sounds like quite an obscure bug, I'd imagine most people would teleport out after sealing it up or would have enough pray/food etc to walk back out.

 

 

 

But definately a bug

Figured it out. If anyone is making a guide and its not added, add this to the guide.

 

If you die after you have the root in the pot and the lid on.

 

Go to Garth the gardener to get it back.

 

He says he found it on the ground.

The jade vine has a kinda strange scientfic name

That could be Jagex's excuse why they removed the old vine random that people who played rsc talk about.

Im confused, if i pay the farmer to watch it does that mean that i can not get it for slayer xp? or do i just have to check it and then come back later when its grown wild?

sig3gk6.png

Appreantly...you only have to pay 10 hops ONCE!

 

 

 

I have checked-health the vine.

 

 

 

and after many hours it turned into slayer monster.

 

 

 

I killed. Got the jade vine seed again.

 

 

 

I planted.

 

 

 

 

 

and when i try to pay him 10 hops, he says he is already looking after it :shock:

editedsig1ci.gif

I think you get 3k slayer XP if you let it grow to monster size.

 

 

 

Farming XP if you prune it.
