Toxic Seedlings are resource nodes that were introduced in October 2013 with the Tower of Nightmares release. The nodes typically appear across the zone in groups of five and can be harvested with any harvesting sickle, a guaranteed Pristine Toxic Spore Sample and the rest containing Mushed Spore Samples. Clusters of toxic seedlings are on a relatively short respawn timer of ten minutes.

With a later release the toxic seedlings were confined to only appear in the Kessex Hills and were removed from other zones.

Gathering results

Notes

• Champion and veteran rank creatures with the Toxic Corruption effect spawn a Toxic Seedling upon death.
• It is not uncommon to find 2 Pristine Toxic Spore Samples within a given cluster. Harvesting a cluster after a first is discovered is not a waste.
