free flax or cotton

[bcbunny]

Is there anywhere that cotton or flax grows wild to collect at all?

Also, when you plant them, how long does it take to harvest them, when you do harvest them do you have to go buy more seeds to plant, or do they just grow again?

i cant recall but i do know that once you harvest they just take time then you can re harvest again no reseeding needed also i think the wiki might have some info on it

Once you harvest it, you do not need to replant. I give mine an hour to get more. However by the time I harvest the 6 plants and spin it into bolts of cloth there is more flax. I could harvest all day. Keep in mind your skills tailor and cooking do play a part on flax and cotton seed growth taking root. Do not over harvest you can only get 8 off each plant at a time or you will kill it.

Keep in mind that harvesting, spinning, and weaving flax/cotton into thread and cloth is subject to our AFK rules.

Tis true, i get afk checked way more times when im weaving than when im mining or lumberjacking.

Huh? As long as you don't click "yes" when it asks if you want to destroy the plant, you won't kill it. This means you can blind-macro the harvesting for all plants adjacent to you (up to 8 if you're careful about the order in which you plant them). You get a random amount up to the plants limit on each attempt and can repeat until you get 10 off each plant. When you have 10 off all plants, just cancel the prompt to destroy.

Takes an hour or so to regenerate a full 10 crops.
