Nettles are bundle of small green shoots which can be picked from a Nettle plant in various locations around Misthalin and Morytania.

Players may add a bunch of nettles to a Bowl of water in order to make Nettle-water which can then be heated on a Cooking Range or Fire to create Nettle tea.

Players must wear any item in the glove slot in order to pick nettles from the plant, if gloves are not worn, no nettles will be obtained and the player will be dealt up to 20 life points of damage.

Locations

Nettle plants can be found:

• Right next to the Canifis Lodestone
• Within the yew trees section of Edgeville; leather gloves spawn south of the nearby bank
• On the south and east sides of the Draynor Village jail
• On the east side of Draynor Manor
• Near Father Urhney's house in the Lumbridge Swamp
• Near Varrock's redberry bushes (in ruins just south-west of the southern-most church) (two plants)
• In the very south-eastern part of the Haunted Woods

Trivia

• Prior to the update on 17 March 2014, a player had to wield certain gloves to pick nettles. Not all types of gloves worked.
• A glitch allowed free players to collect nettles for a short period of time; however, these nettles cannot be used in any way on a free world since they appear as "Members Objects".
• The sound you hear when you are stung by nettles is the same sound goblins used to make when hit by a player in combat.
• There is a glitch when a player tries to pick a nettle without gloves; their skin turns the same colour as a darker skinned vampyre.
• You do not need gloves to pick up the item version of nettles (i.e. dropped nettles).
