Runescape Dragonwilds Corpse Cotton Guide and Location
Getting corpse cotton becomes a big deal once you hit Fellhollow and start pushing into steel gear. It feeds directly into fine thread and late tier crafting, so knowing where to farm it saves a ton of time. This guide keeps it simple and sticks to what we can confirm from the game.
Corpse Cotton Basics
Corpse cotton comes from corpse flowers. These plants sit all over Fellhollow and pop when hit, dropping cotton and sometimes seeds. They look like green pods stuck to rocks, walls, or ground patches. One hit sets them off, so standing too close can chunk your health pretty quick.
How to Get Corpse Cotton
Corpse flowers explode on contact and throw out corpse cotton. They can spawn in clusters and they respawn over time. If you want to avoid the damage, hit them with ranged abilities or spells. Seeds drop too, which lets you plant your own setup later once farming is unlocked.
Best Spots to Get Corpse Cotton
Fellhollow is loaded with corpse flowers, but some spots are way better than others.
Lake of Lost Souls
This is the safest and easiest farm. The lake sits in the center of Fellhollow and has a ton of corpse flowers close together. They sit along the edges of the water and on nearby slopes. You can make a full loop around the lake and come out with enough cotton for several fine thread crafts.
Placing a lodestone nearby makes resets painless. Corpse flowers do respawn, so this becomes a reliable long term route.
We used the map from RuneScape: Dragonwilds Interactive Maps & Locations – The Hidden Gaming Lair to help.
Tips When Gathering Corpse Cotton
Place a lodestone so you can loop respawns fast
Use ranged hits to avoid the explosion damage
Pick up every seed so you can grow your own later
Bring healing, since chain explosions hurt more than expected
Seeds make a big difference once farming is unlocked. Planting corpse cotton gives steady income without running through dangerous zones.
What Corpse Cotton is Used For
Corpse cotton goes straight into fine thread at the spinning wheel. It takes 4 cotton to make 1 fine thread. You will need a lot, especially once you start crafting high end armor.
Fine thread also feeds fine cloth, specialty crafting, and several late game blueprints.
Final Blurb
Corpse cotton farming is a core step in Fellhollow progression. Once you know the loops and safe routes, stocking up becomes quick. Grab a lodestone, hit Lake of Lost Souls, and keep your farming seeds ready for later. It turns a slow grind into an easy routine.
