Spirit sapling
The Spirit Sapling is a unique item in Old School RuneScape that allows players to cultivate their very own Spirit Tree. Obtained through the Farming skill, this sapling can be planted in a designated Spirit Tree patch, enabling players to enjoy the benefits of quick travel across the game world. Once planted, the Spirit Sapling matures into a fully grown Spirit Tree, which players can later use to teleport to various locations, making it an invaluable resource for adventurers seeking to traverse Gielinor efficiently.
To plant a Spirit Sapling, players must have at least level 83 Farming and access to a Spirit Tree patch, typically found in locations such as the Tree Gnome Stronghold. Once planted, it takes a short period for the sapling to grow, after which players can utilize the tree’s teleportation abilities. With its convenience and accessibility, the Spirit Sapling not only enhances gameplay but also adds a touch of nature’s magic to the world of OSRS, reflecting the intertwining of the game’s lore and mechanics.
