If you are venturing into Jagex’s survival game set in the RuneScape universe for the first time and looking to gather Flax for crafting Coarse Thread, you will need to equip yourself with specific resources. Key among these is a Spinning Wheel, which serves multiple purposes beyond just Flax processing. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get started.
Locating Flax in RuneScape Dragonwilds
Flax is characterized by its striking blue flowers, abundant throughout the vast expanse of RuneScape Dragonwilds. For optimal harvesting, it is advisable to focus your foraging efforts in Bramblemead Valley. However, caution is necessary, as this area is populated with goblins that may pose a threat. Ensure you are adequately prepared before venturing into this location.

While wandering through the wilderness, you’ll spot Flax flourishing naturally. Additionally, explore the remnants of dilapidated buildings within this region, as they too are likely to yield Flax. Keep a sharp eye out for goblins, as they are vigilant guardians of the area and may not allow for a peaceful gathering experience. Furthermore, areas near water bodies often harbor Flax as well.
Although Flax can be found across Bramblemead Valley, pay special attention to the broken structures previously mentioned. These locations typically yield several Flax plants, making it an ideal farming spot for your needs.
