Woad leaves can be harvested from a flower patch after planting woad seeds. They are used to make blue dye and, by extension, green and purple dye. Players must take two woad leaves and 5 coins to Aggie to make blue dye, which is enough to dye one item.

They can either be grown through Farming or bought from Wyson the gardener in Falador Park. Offering him 20 coins provides the best value since he actually gives two for being so generous. Adding them to a compost bin makes regular compost.

Uses in quests

• Goblin Diplomacy: 2 x woad leaves to make blue dye.
• Recipe For Disaster: 2 x woad leaves to make blue dye, green dye, or purple dye.

Trivia

• In real-life medieval Europe (which RuneScape takes some inspiration from), woad was indeed used to make blue dye. However, blue would have been an expensive colour and was the "royal" colour of France.
