Spirit trees are a gnomic method of transportation. Limited access to the network is granted upon completion of the Tree Gnome Village quest. When access is first obtained, the spirit tree in the Tree Gnome Village serves as a hub, from which players may travel to any other spirit tree. From the other trees, one can only travel back to Tree Gnome Village. From there, they may travel on to another spirit tree.

If the player has finished The Grand Tree quest, the spirit tree in the Tree Gnome Stronghold will become a hub as well. After completing The Path of Glouphrie, the player can travel freely between any two spirit trees.

M		Manor Farm	Player-grown

Accessibility

The fastest way to access a spirit tree is through a spirit tree re-rooter.

A free means would be to plant a spirit tree at Manor Farm and use the Manor farm Teleport (unlocked with medium Ardougne achievements) to teleport there.

The ring of duelling teleport to the Warforge Dig Site brings you within a few steps of the South Feldip Hills tree.

Other fast ways to teleport include using an Arc journal, Captain's Log, or explorer's ring 3/4 cabbage-port to Port Sarim or to use the South Feldip Hills Teleport spell to the South Feldip Hills tree.

With the easy Ardougne achievements completed and claimed the Ardougne cloak 1, players can use the Kandarin monastery Teleport and use the Khazard Battlefield tree to the west.

The Spirit tree at the Grand Exchange.

When the player has completed the easy Varrock achievements, they can swap their Varrock Teleport destination to the Grand Exchange and use the spirit tree there.

With completion of Plague's End, a crystal teleport seed or attuned crystal teleport seed can be used to teleport to the Crwys district very close to the Prifddinas Spirit Tree.

Evil tree

Main article: Evil Tree

Spirit trees can be extremely useful for the Evil Tree, a Distraction and Diversion. This event can be done twice a day and helps players train their Woodcutting, Firemaking, and Farming skills. Players who have completed Tree Gnome Village quest can find out where an evil tree is by talking to a spirit tree for a hint. If there are no Evil Trees sprouting, the spirit trees will not provide any hints.

Normal dialogue

Spirit tree: "If you are a friend of the gnome people, you are a friend of mine. Do you wish to travel, or do you wish to ask about the evil tree?" Choices: Travel, Evil tree, Nothing.

If Evil tree is chosen, one of the following responses will be given, depending on the time until the next Evil Tree appears:

Time	Message
2h00m - 1h00m	The taint of the evil tree is not currently on the land. There won't be another evil tree for over an hour.
1h00m - 0h30m	The taint of the evil tree is not currently on the land. There won't be another evil tree for over half an hour
0h30m - 0h15m	The taint of the evil tree is not currently on the land. There will be another evil tree in just under half an hour.
0h15m - 0h04m	The taint of the evil tree is not currently on the land. There will be another evil tree in less than 15 minutes
0h04m - 0h00m	The taint of the evil tree is not currently on the land. Another strange sapling is about to sprout.

Alternative dialogue

Do you wish to travel, or are you interested in the strange sapling? (lasts until the sapling is nurtured through 3 growth stages)

• I can help you find the sapling, but my knowledge of your human geography is limited.
  • It can be found... (See Evil Tree Locations & Hints)

When an Evil Tree becomes fully grown in a particular world (after 3–5 minutes of sprouting), the Spirit tree dialogue changes: Spirit tree: Do you wish to travel, or are you here to help dispatch the evil tree? Choices: Travel, Evil tree, Nothing.

• If Evil tree is chosen the Spirit tree will ask: Would you like me to teleport you directly there? Choices: Yes Please; What is this 'evil tree'?; or I've changed my mind, I want to stay here.
