Tree roots, why are they even an item?

Featured Replies

I am a constant farming and I have over 250 roots in my bank. Magic roots are good for making nature ammies but each player can own only one and hardly anyone buys them. I can make super and extra strong antiposion potions from yew and magic roots but I've got plenty of super antiposions that work just fine. Oak, willow and maple have no use what so ever that I know about so why do they even exist. I guess leave it to jagex to make useless items (bird eggs).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does anyone know a real use for tree roots or should I drop them all.

I'm always buying snapdragon seeds, name your price.

You can make supercompost from them. Or bowstrings. That's pretty much it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Oak roots can also be used in brewing.

U can make crossbow strings from them, but no one really uses crossbows. I didn't know you can make super compost out of them, that's good to know. I won't have to worry about gathering pinapples for a while :thumbsup: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are there any other uses out there?

I thought you could make a basket or something out of willow roots. If they take up space you'd love to have free, I'd say drop it. If you got enough bank space I'd say keep them, you never know what they will be used for in the future. Jagex said the same about bird eggs (still no good use for them but that doesn't matter) a mod said you should keep hold to the things that are availible for every player, but not (yet) usefull. :)

i dont play anymore... i think rs is ruined

yew roots are used in herblore; antidote+

Various roots are useful for different things, but supercompost is really the way to go with things like maple roots. As you said, you don't need to pick pinapples for a long time!

Just drop them if you don't want them, then it has no effect on you at all?

If you have "140m" in items like it says in your sig you should be able to pay the 80k...

so yeah like other people say. you can make antidote+. with magik tree root it lasts like forever. so its really good to take to places like dagganoth kings.( i dont think i spelled it right.)

Next time you attempt to flame someone, do it right. One person posted it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like you read the posts less carefully than I did. :wall: :roll:

Super and extra strong antiposions take coconut milk to make and I use those coconuts to pay off my farmers so that's out.

maple - supercompost

what a spam fest this thread has become, first about 5 people make posts to explain everything the roots do, and then 20 more people explain it just for the post count, if it's already been said then why do you have to make a post?? I'm getting tired of this constantly happening, post count isn't that important people.

lol, kinda a sill topic, but keep em, u might need them (i'd personally use them 4 herb exp).

There's no such thing as "wireless." Just really long extension cords.

I wish you could trade nature amulets, because for new farmers they're very useful, for me I've done enough pwoerfarming that I can guess at the time my crops are done but a lot of people like to have a reminder.
