A grimy spirit weed is a herb that has not yet been cleaned to make a clean spirit weed. Grimy spirit weeds may be grown from a spirit weed seed with a Farming level of 36. Single noted herbs are dropped by black demons, mutated jadinko babies, guards, and males. Larger quantities of noted spirit weed are dropped by devil's snares. Cleaning a grimy spirit weed requires a Herblore level of 35 and gives 7.8 Herblore experience. Clean spirit weeds are used to make summoning potions with a Herblore level of 40.

Cleaning grimy spirit weed yields a profit/loss of 361 coins per herb.

Farming

Grimy spirit weed can be harvested from spirit weed plants grown within an herb patch. A fully grown spirit weed will yield a minimum of three grimy spirit weed at harvest. Each grimy spirit weed, when picked, gives 36 Farming experience.

Harvest yields for spirit weed plants are determined by a "harvest lives" system. Each spirit weed plant begins with 3 lives. Additional lives are added with the use of compost (+1 life), supercompost (+2 lives) and ultracompost (+3 lives). Every harvest action will roll a chance out of 255 on the specific patch's "Chance to Save", taking one of the harvest lives from the patch if it does not hit; the patch will be cleared when it runs out of lives. The "Chance to Save" is dependent on the player's Farming level.
