Pete Party Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I wonder, how does scroll of life work? I just did 4 farm rounds with 5 patches each round and got no seeds back at all (2 dead plants in those 4 rounds). Anyone have any knowledge for me? Me and the wise old man go way back.... he was a foolish boy back then. My crystal armour idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer_Jesse Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 its a 10% CHANCE. so its all random unfortunately.

(forgive me for asking, but you did actually read the scroll right? does nothing to just buy it.) I have gotten a seed a few times (did loads of farming so its not much) So yeah I read the scroll. But I mean 10% chance....so that means each 10th you have a chance of getting a seed back....and is this chance like flipping a coin.

DrPaulLeet Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 its mostly usefull for its 10% chance of giving you a seed back after you've yielded your herbs. this can totally change profit margins when farming high priced seeds such a torstol and snapdragons. the 10% chance of a seed from a dead herb isnt really as usefull and impressive, but its still nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Exactly. From a healthy patch, you have a 10% chance to get the seed back you planted originally, from a dead patch it's random. The most profitable run you can do at lower farming levels is actually 5 dead guam, 5 torstol seeds back (1.65m profit). Chances are tiny of course. For farming torstol, you only every get less valuable seeds from deaths :(.

la la la Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 You have a 10% chance of receiving the same seed back when picking a live plant and a 10% chance of receiving a random seed back when picking a dead plant (or at least, this is how it applies to herbs). Gotta love picking that dead torstol and getting back a tarromin seed (happened yesterday). That Quyneax guy beat me to it. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
