Flax is a resource that can be picked from plants in various locations around Gielinor. Multiple can be collected from the same plant. It is used to make bow strings at a spinning wheel, requiring 10 Crafting, yielding 15 Crafting experience. Flax can also be spun via the Spin Flax Lunar spell.

Completing the Kandarin Diary allows players to exchange noted flax with the flax keeper once a day in exchange for bow strings. The easy diary unlocks 30 per day, medium 60 per day, hard 120 per day, and elite 250 per day.

Flax in the Tree Gnome Stronghold does not exist in Deadman Mode worlds.

Obtaining

Flax can be found in many locations around Gielinor, however the following are optimal for most purposes:

• The closest flax to a bank is found in Prifddinas, near the north-west bank, requiring completion of Song of the Elves.
• The next closest is in Lletya, requiring starting Mourning's End Part I.
• The closest no-requirement flax to a bank is in Land's End.
• The closest flax to a spinning wheel and bank is in Seers' Village.
• Flax can also be obtained through Managing Miscellania, requiring completion of Throne of Miscellania.

Spinning

• The spinning wheel closest to a bank is in the Crafting Guild, requiring 99 Crafting or completion of the hard Falador Diary for access to the bank.
• The closest spinning wheel to a bank without requirements is in Lumbridge Castle, taking about 75 seconds for a full inventory.
  • A closer spinning wheel, but one needing the completion of Bone Voyage, can be built in the Museum Camp, on Fossil Island.
• The closest flax to a spinning wheel and bank is in Seers' Village.

Trivia

• The flax growing in the Miscellania farming patch has a different flower than those encountered throughout the rest of Gielinor. This suggests that a domesticated cultivar, differing from the "wild type", is farmed on Miscellania.
