Barley seed

Barley seed

Barley seed is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 22 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Barley seed is to buy it: Draynor Seed Market in Draynor Village sells it for 38 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

“A barley seed - plant in a hops patch.”

Ironman verdict

3 monsters drop it. The easiest is Tortoise (level 50, 1/2,133.3); the best rate is Goblin Raider (level 56), at 1/3, about one every 3 kills. Other sources include Farmer, Wise Old Man/Tasks, Managing Miscellania and Seed Stall, plus 4 more listed below. Barley seed is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 22 coins, which is 16 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
