Avantoe seeds can be planted in a herb patch at level 50 Farming to yield grimy avantoe, which, when cleaned into avantoe, are used in Herblore to make potions.

Nearby gardeners will not watch over herb patches, nor will a fully-grown white lily plant protect them from disease.

They are obtainable from sources such as monsters, seed packs, and master farmers.

Average harvest yield

Avantoe has a minimum of 3 harvest lives, increasing by 1 for each tier of compost used (for a maximum of 6 when using ultracompost). While harvesting avantoe, there is a chance to not consume a harvest life dependent on the player's Farming level. This chance scales from 19.9% at level 1 to 31.6% at level 99, interpolating linearly in between.

Changes

Date Changes
23 July 2020
(Update | poll)

The appearance of herbs planted in herb patches now match the herb's appearance in the player's inventory.

9 January 2020
(Update | poll)

Players can now dig up healthy herb patches before they're fully grown. To prevent players from gaining experience repeatedly by planting and digging up herb seeds, the experience usually gained from planting them is now given when harvesting them, alongside the usual harvesting experience.

8 February 2018
(Update | poll)

The value was changed from 64 to 8 so that it would appear below more valuable seeds when on the ground.

9 – 23 August 2005
  • The item was renamed from "Herb seed" to "Avantoe seed".
  • The item's examine was changed from "A herb seed - plant in a herb patch." to "An avantoe seed - plant in a herb patch."
11 July 2005
(Update)

The item's examine was changed from "Farming skill coming in July!" to "A herb seed - plant in a herb patch."
